The appropriation bill was signed last night by Gov. J. E. Harley. Appropriation of this amount was recommended by the Free Confer ence Committee on the General Ap propriation Bill in its report last week. Although both the House and the Senate approved it, they disapproved several other sections of the report and recommitted the bill to the same conferees. The Free Conference Committee eliminated the cut of $32,000 in the University's appropriation as well as a 10 per cent cut in salaries prf viously voted by the House of Rep resentatives. Just when the new Free Confer ence Committee report will be sub mitted to the General Assembly is not known yet. "While the legislature has not ap propriated all that the University isked for, the amount recommended in the Free Conference Committee's report and approved by both houses is fair and liberal in the circum stances. The University is deeply grateful to the General Assembly." Pres. J. Rion McKissick has pointed out. The section in the Free Confer etnce report relative to the Univer sity is as follows: "For Maintenance ............$324,000.00 "Compiction of ROTC Building .......................... 32 ,133.00 "Installation of Boilers.... 35,000.00 "Total ..........................$391,133.00 "Provided, That the salary of the President shall be Six Thousand t$i.Ou0.00) Dollars per year. Pro :ided, further, That out of the above appropriation the sum of $1,500 00 shall be expended for part time em ployment of personnel in the exten sion department. "Provided, further, That from time to time, as may be necessary, the State Penitentiary, upon the re juest of the University, shall furnish i guard and a sufficient number of convicts to keep the grounds of the L'niversity in good condition."
