Condition Of

Professor Kilpatrick Describes
Poverty Stricken Negroes
In The South
"The people who raise a large portion
of the world's clothing material
have not enough clothing for themselves,"
points out Professor Emmet
Kilpatrick upon returning from his
Alabama plantation.
He said that the rural Negroes are
so hard pressed for money that they
often swap a cow or a horse for a
dress or suit, and that they find it
impossible to obtain necessary medical
care. Even food is something
which it is now extremely difficult
for them to get.
The condition is aggravated, continued
Dr. Kilpatrick, by creditors
who, in payment for notes, exact cows,
horses, sheep, hogs and even. pets.
Quite often the creditors find no use
for the animals, allowing them to die
of neglect and starvation. This was
done, he says, to over 100 Negro families
in a nearby state.
Dr. Kilpatrick is led to believe that
"the colored population of the rural
sections is in a worse condition now
than at any previous time since their
importation from Africa." In normal

James H. Galloway Sudden- 1
ly Resigns As President Of
Clariosophic
Charging that there were certain
"unpleasant events which have led me
to conclude that such action on my
part is best for me and for the soci- ;
ety," James H. Galloway resigned as
president of the Clariosophic Literary
Society at its meeting on December
13. Galloway added in his note that
at some future date he would "be delighted
to deliver an oration on 'Repudiations
and Resignations.' "
Galloway's resignation came as the
climax of a series of charges and
counter-charges incident to the contest
between himself and John B. Culbertson
for the honor of representing
the University of South Carolina at
the South Carolina Oratorical Association.
No definite reasons for his resignation
were given in the president's
letter, and he refused to comment
further, saying that he preferred to
wait until "a certain person should
be present." He did not say who
that person was, but Culbertson was
not at the meeting.
Culbertson in his reply on January
3 said: "The presidency of the Clariosophic
Literary Society is not an
office to be bandied about in such a

University Now
Pays Faculty
By Certificates
Certificates of indebtedness for the
balance of November and December salaries
are being issued- to the professors
of the University by Frank F. Weibourne,
treasurer. These certificates will
be payable at the treasurer's office when
funds are available from the state treasurer.
The certificates, which arc not negotiable
and cannot be cashed at the local
banks are similar to the ones recently
issued to state employees by the comptroller
general of the state.
The professors and other officials of
the University have received only onehalf
of their salary for November and
none for December. Therefore the certificates
issued will cover salaries for a
month and a half.
The certificates are signed Ixith by Mr.
Welbournc and by President L. T. Baker.
Funds to cover these notes may be
provided by an appropriation by the legislature
or by the state treasurer.
The notes arc being issued on a regular
printed form stating that the past salary
is due the faculty member and that
it will be payable when funds are available.
Though similar to the ones issued
to other state employees they arc not
identical.

Student Activil

University Board Of Trustees Mee
For Semi-Annual Meeting.
Upon Petition Of
Student activities and the Univer- a
sity Cooperative Store were the most c
important topic of discussion at the
regular semi-annual meeting of the t
Hoard of Trustees of the University c
on December 14. A petition from the n
Student Body for an investigation of c
the Student activity fee administration c.
was received and a special committee I
was appointed to study the question, r
Finances were also an important a
topic for discussion as well as a re- b
port by President Baker on recent r
progress of the University. Dr. Baker t
told the Board that in spite of "inadequate
financial support" the Uni- v
versity has been making steady prog- t
ress and cited special recognition that
has come from the Southern Associa- c
tion of colleges and universities, and p
the New York board of regents. t
The committee to investigate Stu- v
dent Activities was appointed as a re- t
suit of long standing dissatisfaction ii
among the students over the administration
of the activity fee which was a
climaxed early in December when a j,
Student Body meeting called to pro- 0

The 1933 term of the University

isual period of six weeks, according
o an announcement made by Dr. J.
L Stoddard, director of the school.
A new feature for the Summer

program. It is planned to
lold assemblies one hour each week
nstead of daily as has been the pracice
heretofore. Morning classes will

imitted only once. Classes will meet
ive days each week, as last year.
It is expected that there will be

ession at a minimum. The summer
chool has been self-sustaining for
everal years. The number and varity
of courses will be sufficiently atractive
to meet the needs of the uslal

Appointed By Conference |
To Study Ban On Broadcasting
Football Games ^
At the meeting of the Southern Conference
at Knoxville, Tennessee, on
December 8, 9, 10, Dr. Ralph K. Foster,
director of student activities at the 1
University, was appointed a committee
of one to study the ban on broadcasting
of football games in which
members of the conference participate.
Doctpr Foster will make his report
at the next meeting of the conference
to be held in Richmond on January
13 and 14.
The appointment of Doctor Foster
came as somewhat of a surprise due '
to his avowed hostility to any move
to remove the ban. There has been ;
much contention about the ban in
past months and there has been wide
criticism against it. The state legislature
of Alabama even went so far
as to pass a law invalidating any
agreement by a state school to ban
broadcasting. This law, however, has
yet to be tested in the courts.
The announcement of the break in
the conference, made shortly before
Doctor Foster's appointment, however,
slightly altered the feeling of
surprise over his appointment as those
schools in which greatest opposition

Critical Situation Faced
Budget Commission To Reccommend
$129,675 Less Than The
$369,675 Requested
When the State Legislature convenes
Tuesday it will receive a request
from the University for an appropriation
of $369,675, but it is understood
that the state budget commission
will recommend an appropriation
of only $240,000. Last year the
University received an appropriation
:>f $312,000. The figures show that
the commission recommends that the
University receive $129,675 less than
the request, and $72,000 less than the
amount appropriated last year.
1 he University has been receiving
i steadily decreasing appropriation for
the past seven years and, with a legislature
this year pledged to drastic
tconomy, the action of the budget
commission was not altogether unexpected.
Last year the entire state had an appropriation
of something over nine
million dollars but this year Neville
Bennett, chairman of the house ways
and means committee, has announced
that the appropriation will probably'
not excede six million dollars.
If the recommended budget is
passed by the legislature it will mark
mother step in the steady series of
eductions which the University has
"eccived in the past seven years. In
1926 the University, with a total enrolment
of only 1,419. received state
lid to the extent of $528,903 while
last year, with an enrolment of 1,782,
t received only $312,000.

Three veteran members of the Debating

lecessary time, and one for the purpose
of making room for "a more
capable man."
Luke Williamson resigned as the

J. Wiley Brown, veteran of three

nore time was required in arranging
schedules. Dr. Colcott, faculty advisor,
sent a note requesting the society
to retain Brown as its representative.
