FRENCH CLUB GIVES MOVIE Modern language students will be excused from ten, eleven, and twelve o'clock classes tomorrow so that they may attend a showing of "Prenezgarde a la Peinture" French motion picture to be sponsored by the University French Club, La Societe Amicale. The picture will be shown at 0."? 2. "'. at the Carolina Theater. The picture is from the story by Rene Fauchois, and is familiar to Americans under the title of "The Late Christopher Bean." In its American version, Marie Dressier played the leading role. Simon Simone, French actress, who has recently acquired fame as a star in Hollywood, has a small part in the French version of the play. All proceeds from the picture will be used by the French Club to estab lish a scholarship to the University for the winner of the French contest in the annual high school competition to be held at the University this spring under the direction of the University Personnel Bureau. The scholarship will probably be set at sixty dollars'. This'is the third French motion pic ture that the French Club has spon sored. Last spring they brought to Columbia a picture called "Le Doc teur Knock." In the fall semester of this year the club sponsored the movie that was ranked' as the best picture in the world last year, "Carnival in Flan ders." La Societe Amicale was, up to this year, joined with the national French fraternity, Beta Pi Theta. However, at the first of the current session, the club decided to drop their national charter and to become a local group. Reason given for this action was that they wished to spend all of the club's money on projects which would bene fit the University and its students. -U. S. 0.

Final Action To Be Taken An increase of $90,106 over the amount recommended by the House of Representatives was added to the appropriation of the University of South Carolina by the Senate Wednes day night. This brings the total appropriation to $369,606; the house had previous ly recommended an appropriation of $273,500. Final action on this increase will not be taken until a meeting of the Free Conference Committee next week. This committee is composed of three members of the house appointed by the Speaker and three members of the Senate appointed by the president of the Senate. The increase stipulated that $37, 500 be used for repairs to the build ings on the campus, according to Pres. J. Rion McKissick. Members of the Senate also restored salaries of all state employees to their former mark. Previously the house had voted to decrease all sal aries over $1,500 by 5%. The item affecting the University passed the Senate without amendment or discussion. The Board of Trus tees of the University was given power and authority to fix salaries of all em ployees of the University. Recently, when it became appar ent that the appropriation of the Uni versity was to be reduced below op erating costs, students of the Univer sity held a meeting, and organized by F counties to interview their delegations and lobby for an increase of approxi mately $25,000 to be used for repairs. So effective was this done that the House of Representatives voted the necessary increase and brought the general appropriation to a mark above that of last year. The amendment to the bill increas Sing the University appropriation was introduced on the floor of the House r by Representative John Crews from - Richland County, Representative Wil - bur Grant of Chester and J. P. Fellers of Anderson aided in passing the bill. In 1936-37, the direct appropriation to the University was $210,000, a per capita cost of 12c to each person in the State.
