pressing her gratitude at the Uni
"ersity's action ill becoming the first

Mrs. Lippman advised President

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

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

S. 11. Benjamin of Greenwood pro
posed that a 10 per cent cut be

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

to the llonse Ways and Means Com

mittee the l'ni.rsity earnestly and
emphatically asked for a 10 per cent
increase in the salaries of all members
