Self Defense
Will Be Plea
Says He Was Threatened By
H. N. 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.

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.

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.

Many South Carolina Govt.
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.

Moving Picture
Shown By Ball
A four-reel talking picture, showing
the complete manufacture of the electric

The picture, "Mazda Lamps Preferred,"
was shown last night at the
Columbia high school auditorium and
was attended by Carolina physics and
engineering students, electrical dealers
of Columbia, and the engineers of the
Broad River Power Company.
The picture was preceded by a one|
