Facull Religious Life Shows Growth Churches Co-Operate Y. M. G. A. Also Plays Important y Part In University Life Of Today Ever since 1882 the religious life and the religious organization of the University have continued to grow, until today the religious activity of the students, widened in its scope, plays a big part in the life of the Student Body. Fifty years ago, this fall, three University students who were dissatisfied with the opportunities for religious expression at the University met in a room in Rutledge College and began what later developed into the Y. M. C. A. With this small beginning the religious life of the University has broadened appreciably in scope. This phase of the University now falls under several heads with many different expressions. The churches, closest to the campus, have co-operated a great deal in the religious life of the University. All of the larger churches have either special departments or special classes for the University students in their Sunday schools. The Baptist faith, which has a representation of 462 students at the University, amply provides for these mcVnbcrs with special departments, meeting each Sunday morning, in which a large part of the work is done by the students. The Methodist and Presbyterian churches, represented by preferences of 453 and 257, respectively, likewise provides spccial departments for the student members of its faith. The Episcopal church, preferred by 192 students, has a Bible class for University students, meeting each Wednesday night, under the leadership of the Rev. Henry D. Phillips, D. D. University students are taking mi active part in the Young Peoples organizations, such as the B. Y. P. U., Christian Endeavor, and Epworth League, not only in the larger up-town churches but also in the smaller churches over the city. A large number of students take active parts in teaching, and assisting in the small mission churches in the poorer sections of the city. The University also offers a number of courses in English Bible and Religious Education under the direction of IDr. H. R. Murchison. The enrollment for this year in these classes total so far over 130. When the enrollment of the second semester is taken, it is usually found that over 200 students arc taking one or more of these courses. The Bible at the University is taught in an entirely undenominational way, seeking to give the students a thorough grounding in the actual contents of the sacred books. The two Christian associations, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are doing a large work in the voluntary expression of the religious life of the campus. The Y. M. C. A. has a total of 39 group meetings each week, enrolling around 500 students in the various activities. The groups include such activities as Religious Discussion groups, Vesper Services, Forums in fraternity houses, and programs in the City Jail, County Alms Mouse, and other places. u. H. c.

Davis Finds Examination Papers Of 1883 In Cracker Box "Students of to-day arc a little older, write better, spell better, recognize the sentence limits, have more uniform work and fail less than students of 1883," said Dr. H. C. Davis after experimenting. Examination papers consisting of die- < tation and sentence parsing, which admitted Henry/Mullins and Willie Stackhouse to the University in 1883, were the basis of Dr. Davis' experiment. These and other old papers were found stored in an old cracker box in Dr. Da- * vis' campus home and are to be put in the S. C. collection in the University library. U. H. C. Students Seek Jobs In Town Employment Bureau Can- 1 vases And Secures Posi- 1 tions For 200 Students i Students arc still registered in the University, who hope to find some sort . of employment, in order to remain in Co- i lutnbia for this year. The chances arc few and the positions are even more . scarce, but they remain with the idea , that in some way they will be able to 1 continue their education. ( An employment bureau under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. has been func- ( tioning efficiently in assistance for^ these . students. Through their efforts, every , men's club in the city has been canvassed, ( thirty volunteers have made a personal j appeal to every business establishment _ in the city which might pffcr employment. Over 200 houses in all have been ^ asked to co-operate. At present there are over 200 students employed on the University campus and " in town, but this number is comparatively small to the 400 students who were working their way through school in 1927-28. Some few students have been ingenious enough to live on as little as 15 cents a ^ day in their attempt to remain in school for at least the first semester. Every sort of job has been investigated. Gardening, blood transfusions, musicians, barbers, and tutoring are only a few of ' the numerous fields which are covered by the Employment Bureau. Students are , selling silk hose, coal, and men's clothing to obtain the necessary funds to keep . them in school. . TJ. 8. o.

The large playgrounds on the Main Street side of the building has been planted with crimson clover, which should make a beautiful sight next spring. Freshmen co-eds look with longing eyes for "joggling boards and see-saws" on the new playgrounds. Not finding this, they timidly suggest that four leaf clover might have been planted to guarantee good luck at exam time. 1 Travel i In December Given At Numerous Stops Along i Program Planned flatteson present their general program at Key West.

Concert Held By Orchestra Oriental Ml u s i c Features First Appearance By Symphony Group A program of oriental music featured the first concert of the season for the University Symphony Orchestra, Madame I* el ice de Horvath, conductor, in the chapel last night. Opening with the weird chords of the Goidmark's Sakuntala Overture, the orchestra presented a program that was 110 doubt more enjoyed than any of the concerts so far, especially from the student view point. With a spice of modern flavor, her numbers burst frequently from a quiet lull to a powerful crescendo, which wove its pattern indelibly, to the appreciation of the audience. In a Persian Garden, sung by the guest, Matteson Quartet, offered a real treat in variety. 1 his tone cycle is bassed 011 the Omar Khayyam "Rubaiyat" and was set to music by Mine. Liza Lchinann. The Matteson Quartet is composed of Mrs. Wm. Eurtick, soprano, Mrs. Win. Sweeney, contralto, Mr. Robert LaFaye, tenor, and Mr. Maurice Matteson, baritone, with Mrs. Maurice Matteson at the piano. The Ballet Egyptienne, so well liked by Columbia audiences, was presented as the final number of the concert. This season the orchestra is larger, better balanced and routined, so that it even improves its already well earned reputation for brilliant ensemble work. Members of the Delta Zeta sorority acted as ushers. U. 8. O. Appoint Baker To Committee Dr. L. T.

This latest reduction in the salaries of state employes brings the total cut for the year to 27 per cent, the first cut being for 12 per cent and the latter for 15. About the first of last June, the State Finance committee, consisting of the governor, the state treasurer and the comptroller general, held a meeting and canvassed the financial situation as it affected the state. As a result of that meeting, a notice was sent out to all departments that they could expect the payment of 85 per cent of the moneys appropriated to then?or, in other words that there would be a reduction in their appropriations of 15 per cent. Thus, every item in the appropriation act was ordered reduced 15 per cent. It was left with the departments as to whether they would reduce expenses 15 per cent at once or continue to pay full amounts of salaries and other items and then leave off payments for the last two months of the year. Practically all of the departments elected to run as usual and to apply the reduction at the last of the year. "Our appropriation bill for 1932 carried approximately $9,500,000," A. J. Beattie, comptroller general, said. "Revenues in sight are approximately $8,000,000. With that amount, we can pay about 85 per cent of appropriations. We cannot pay out what we do not have, and so the reduction in appropriations was ordered." The salary of Governor Blackwood will be reduced about $956, and that of Chief Justice Kugene S. Blease about the same amount. Salaries of other members of the supreme court and all circuit judges will fare similarly. All constitutional officers will have their salaries reduced by approximately $637.50. The constitutional officers are the state treasurer; the comptroller general; the secretary of state; the adjutant general; the attorney general and the state superintendent of education. In some instances, the full amount provided for in the appropriation bill was paid early in the year, before the reduction was decided upon. This was the case in the item of legislative expense which covers the meeting of the general assembly. This item was approximately $123,000 and it was paid in the first few months of the year. Salaries and other expenses in some of the departments will not be affected by the reduction as they are paid from some special fund. In this group are the state highway department; the sinking fund commission ; the game warden's department; and the railroad commission. Funds for these departments, while they go into the state treasury, do not go "into the general account and arc untouched by the reduction.
