J. Rion McKissick received a letter last week from Mrs. Walter Lippman, national director of the Volunteer Nurse's Aide Corps, ex pressing her gratitude at the Uni "ersity's action ill becoming the first college in the nation to give full credit for the new nurse's aide course. Mrs. Lippman advised President McKissick in her letter that Caro lina is the pioneer in this action to give vital war nurse's training full standing as an accredited course. The Volunteer Nurse's Aide course is an s0 hour training for women students to enable them to zerve as aide. in emergency to grad nate nurses. The course is spon ;ored jointly by the American Red Cross and the Office of Civilian De fense and was entered into the U:ii versity curriculum for the first time tis year.

The total Ilouse would be $341,00 in Ilouse eatlier in the session. (.erably in-rease<l various items the IHouse Friday considered Representatives Ansel Nf. Hawkins of Greenville and G. P. Callison of recnwood nove(l that the total ainount for maintenance for the Uni versity be cut from $324,000 to $291,000. This amendment was passed. At the same time the same legislators proposed that the appro priations for maintenance for The Citadel be reduced from $155,000 to $139.500 an(d for Clemson (Collegi ate Activities) from $130,000 to $117.000. The louse voted for these cuts. No reductions for Winthrop Col lege, the State INedical School and the State Colored College were pro posed. Representatives Callison and Haw kins, David Gaston of Chester and S. 11. Benjamin of Greenwood pro posed that a 10 per cent cut be m'a(le in the salaries of all State em ployees receiving more than $2,400 a year. The louse voted for this proposal. May Cut Salaries Whether or not the changes in the bill made by the House will mean a 10 per cent cut in the sal aries of all members of the Uni versity faculty and administrative staff is uncertain. Salaries are usual ly included in "maintenance", but the adopted amendment, calling for a 10 per cent cut in :alaries of State em pl"yees receiving more than $2,400 a yea, mllay mean that the liouse did not intend to cut the salaries of State eiply)ces who receive less than $2.400 a year. In its hearing before the State Bud get Commission and in its requests to the llonse Ways and Means Com mlittee and the Senate Finance Com mittee the l'ni.rsity earnestly and emphatically asked for a 10 per cent increase in the salaries of all members of the University faculty and the administrat ive staff. The Budget Commiksion, although naming no fig Ures, recommende(d that all State em pl(yees he given an increase in sal aries so that, in part, they may meet the steadily increasing cost of living. lRepresentatives Bruce I.ittlejohtn >f Spa'rtaniburg aud 11.
