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.

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.
