Decries Cut At North Carolina "The University of North Carolina laces 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. The 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 I tournaments, and abandoned an at- 1 tempt to raise Olympic funds by an J 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 Kuropean t competition, came as a distinct sur- T prise for the question, a matter of debate for a number of years, was not i 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 uni- i versal records be obtained. 1 "The change will be effective January 1, so that virtually all the coming indoor season's meets will be run n accordance with the metric measurement. Incidentally, all records held at yards and miles now listed on the hooks are virtually assured of going t down as all-time marks at these dis- * tances since seldom will these dis- : tances be run again. The change applies only to track and field events. v. H. o. . r lumbia in 18:{5, which describes the flowering plants of the vicinity of Co- f lumbia. ( The pamphlet, written by Professor ^ Lewis R.

Departments W it h out Funds For Salaries Only those departments of the South Carolina government which arc provided for by spccial funds have Ijccn 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 generafcap>ropriations expenditures, forced by shrinkage of revenues, left most of he departments without funds for November and December salaries. The highway department, the game wardens office and the railroad comnission arc provided for by special unds obtained by special taxation.
