Boy kin; Kills Him In Own Defense The Richland county coroncr's jury brought in a verdict Wednesday night that Dr. B. W. Kendall, '15, of Co" lumbia willfully killed H. N. Boykin, former Columbia policeman, and the case was turned over to the department of justice. Kendall walked into the Columbia police headquarters early Tuesday morning and admitted that he had just killed Boykin. When the police went to Boykin's room in the Crestwell hotel, they found him lying in a pool of blood with a bullet hole through his head a little above the right car, and a bloody pistol lying under his right leg. The pistoj was loaded but ' no shots had been fired from it. Kendall said that Boykin had called p bim about 7 o'clock that morning and jg asked him to come to him to render g professional .sei vices. When Kendall . arrived he found Boykin reading the . newspaper account of his recent dis^ missal from the Columbia police force, i-* He had a bottle of whiskey beside him .o and evidentally had been drinking. H When Kendall entered Boykin said, *ou caused me to lose my job; now I've got you on the spot." Kendall replied that he had come to render professional services and Boykin reached for his pistol. Kendall says that he then drew his own pistol and fired one shot at Boykin killing him. He then left the room and went to the police department and surrendered. Kendall figured in the recent hearings that resulted in the dismissal of Boykin from the Columbia police force for conduct "unbecoming of an officer." During the hearings he testified that at times it was unsafe for Boykin to carry fire arms. When Boykin called him Tuesday morning he says that he thought there might be trouble and so carried his pistol with him. There were no witnesses to the killing, and no one heard the shot fired. N. A. Theodore, attorney for Dr. Kendall, stated Tuesday that it was a plain case of Kendall's life against Boykin's. A plea of self defense will be entered if the case is brought to trial. it. . o. Decries Cut At North Carolina "The University of North Carolina faces today a chapter in its lengthy history of almost unprecedented tragedy. With a deficit estimated at $113,000 looming for the year, it is obligatory that university officials again pare the salaries of the teaching personnel so that this institution may continue to exist as a tower of intellectuality to the youth of the state," said an editorial appearing in the Daily Tar Heel, campus paper published at the North Carolina institution. The editorial went on to decry the unfortunate circumstances in which the university now finds itself. It compliments the spirit in which the professors are taking the salary cuts and retrenchments which have become necessary. Despite all the reverses which have been faced by the college the Tar Heel insists that it may be "down but never out". "Instead of a new ear of light we now face one of darkness, which before the year is out may see this institution at its lowest mark since war days. We feel certain that such at situation at any other institution would be met with a wholesale exodus to other fields from lowest instructor to highest professor. Happily, there is little danger of any such retrogressive step. Th'e same spirit that binds students together for one common cause manifests itself similarly in faculty ranks," concluded the Tar Heel. . u. m. o Sigma Delta Tau Has Roulette, Bingo Party The fnembcrs of Sigma Delta Tau sorority were entertained with roulette and bingo at a party in honor of imni iVi ills Fori nbia Po< Records Of Past Teams lu 3t T e.ff?rt t0 show that athletics at the University arc now on a higher level than ever before, The Oamccock this week prints its fifth installment 1932 rCVICW ?f ath,etics from 1894 to 1923?-Coach: Sol Metzger; assistant coaches: Hey ward Brockinton, Bruce Edgerton, j.

Metric Rule Adopted By Athletic Union New System Of Measurement Will Govern All Track And Field Events The American Athletic union adopted the metric system of measurement for all track and field events, ruled out all "special" bouts in amateur boxing tournaments, and abandoned an attempt to raise Olympic funds by an admission tax on admissions in the closing session of the 44th annual convention on November 22. The change to the metric system, the universal standard in European competition, came as a distinct sur- i prise for the question, a matter of debate for a number of years, was not on the convention program. Johnny Magee, Bowdin track coach, who with A. C. Gilbert, chairman of the advisory board of athletics at Yale, led the discussion in favor of the change, advocated it in "fairness to American athletes," saying that only with the metric system can universal records be obtained. "The change will be effective January 1, so that virtually all the coming indoor season's meets will be run in accordance with the metric measurement. Incidentally, all records held at yards' and miles now listed on the hooks are virtually assured of going down as all-time marks at these distances since seldom will these distances be run again. The change applies only to track and field events. U. 8. c. lumbia in 18.'{5, which describes the flowering plants of the vicinity of Columbia. The pamphlet, written by Professor Lewis R.

Departments Without Funds For Salaries Only those departments of the South Carolina government which are provided for by spccial funds have been able to pay off their employes for November and have bright prospects for December. All others on the state pay roll are facing two months without salary checks. The 15 per cent cut in general appropriations expenditures, forced by shrinkage of revenues, left most of the departments without funds for November and December salaries. The highway department, the game wardens office and the railroad commission are provided for by special funds obtained by special taxation. The list of unpaid workers ranges from the governor through a long line of officials and employes down to janitors. I It is not yet known whether these unpaid salaries will be included in the 1933 appropriation bill. U. * c.
