Rion McKissick, president, in his annual report to the Gen eral Assembly of the state. In those words are summed up the body of the president's report. Among the improvements noted were: a new library, a new dormitory for women, a new dormitory for men,. a new swimming pool, paved sidewalks, and extensive repairs to all the buildings. The University asked an appropriation of $568,580 for the year 1939-40. Last year the appropriation was $325,000. The increase was requested to keep pace with the University's rapid growth in services, physical plant, and student body. A decrease in appropriations for the University of approximately $63,000, despite the growth of the institu tion has been recommended by the Ways and Means Committee of the South Carolina General Assembly. It has also been proposed to cut salaries over $1,200 of state employees by 10 per cent. It is probable that a proviso will be made stipulating that this cut be made in salaries of professors and administrative officials of the University, if their pay comes in this classification. In the request made by the University this year for appropriations, a paragraph requested the restoration of professors' salries to the pre-depression level. With the present anticipated appropriation by the General As sembly, this will again be impossible. On the contrary, University employees face a cut in salary. It seems rather naive to believe that an institution which is continually growing larger can subsist on a decreased income. It has been suggested that an increase in tuition might solve the problem of revenue, not alone for Carolina, but for other state-supported institutions. This is NOT wise course, lri te simple reason that with an increase in tuition, enrollment is certain to drop sharply. At the University, which is a "poor man's school" the certainty of this result is seen in the fact that a num ber of students are getting their higher education only by drastic economy and self-sacrifice, in some cases even depriving themselves of the barest necessities of life. It is such students that should be kept in mind when the question of increased tuition is brought up. bThi torofthr tuportd isnotitutioy.

Lois Ewart, nouline ROBE Associate Business Man Entered a Bac Dear Sir, At the end of every semester there is a hullabaloo about. the number of students busting out of school. Especially is this ,true at the end of first semester and con cerning freshmen. Recently Dr. McKissick appointed a new facul ty committee to investigate this matter and to handle all affairs pertaining thereto. I am one of the students who be lieve that this trouble might be obviated to a large extent by plac ing the freshman in an environ ment more conducive to study. To accomplish this it would probably be necessary to segregate N the freshmen, and to place them under the supervision of several of our younger instructors, or senior and graduate students. These men would serve in an advisory rather than a regulatory capacity and would serve under the instructions of and in co-operation with the Dean of Men. In regard to housing: It might be feasible to use the new men's dormitory now rising by Burney College for the purpose. I fully realize that the higher cost of rooms there would be an item. This night be taken care of by .raising the cost of rent over the campus to an amount that would level off the cost per student to something like the same amount. That is, room rent for upper-class men living in the old tenements might be $22.50, while the new dor mitory housing freshmen would rent at about $27.50 per room. The freshman advisors could stay in the same dormitory as the freshmen and receive their room rent free as compensation.

I should also like to hear how you feel about deferred rushing, since it is my opinion that so much extra-curricular activity during the first few weeks of college life is probably detrimental to the ef forts of new students to secure a solid foundation in college class work. Yours, Currie MacArthur. Dear Mr. Editor, In the last edition of The Game cock you published a story concern ing a conversation that was sup posed to have transpired between Mrs. Maybank and myself. This story was very much in error. In the first place, I did not even talk with Mrs. Maybank and in the second place the subject matter was entirely beside the point. Now, Mr. Editor, I admit that my knowledge of current happen ings is not up to par, however, I do know 'our governor's initials. And certainly a man that loves slumber as much as I, would not insist on the first lady of the State rising to give heI husband's initials to an ignorant person who could have procured the governor's full name by consulting any newspaper. To keep your good readers from being misinformed and to maintain my honor, I would like for you to publish this letter in the forthcom ing edition of The Gamecock.

Soon one quick-witted gridder noticed the noise. created was similar to the sound of running horses...Result was that he started a cry, which was quickly joined by the others ...And through Melton field echoed, loudly: "Hi-i-i-o-ol Sil veri A-w-ay-y I" HOLDING HANDS: It hap pened in a political science class... sitting side by side, a student and a co-ed happened to shake hands on something or other...

GAME! AND 6IMO ALL uNDEP_ c)Nr.pb *Question-of-Week Do you favor a reorganization of student government at Carolina so that students will have more actual control over their own affairs? Helen Burch: Certainly if the students had more say so in the government of the school everyone would be better off. Sam Price: Any revision in student government that gives the student opportunity for freedom but has some degree of faculty advice, could not be other than beneficial. Heyward Belser: Although there is some need for re vision in minor detail the present system is very satisfac tory. Mary DesPortes: Perhaps if the students had more part in student government they would feel more personal re sponsibility. Peggy.Bailey: No, I think that the present system is ver saisfctoy,certainly more so than at some other schools. Jim Wheeler: Inasmuch as the officers of the student body are directly elected by the students, I think that the students have enough control already. Jim Ford: Since the students have the privilege of elect ing their own officers they should have the right to carry out the duties of these offices alone. John McMillan: Yes, since the college is living and not learning to live, any reorganization so as to give students more contr,ol in their affairs will be a definite forward step. Nita Turner: Some say that students don't have control of their affairs because the faculty has that control. How ever it seems to me that this statement from a faculty mem ber is true: Whatever the students of USC want they can get if they go about it in the right way. Meyer Rosen: The present system is good enough. The students elect or defeat student'body officers and if they are not represented effectively it is the fault of the individual, not of the system.
