"An effort is being made by the

Marshal. He continued to explain
that students and professors have
been careless in lenving lifhtc nn
early in the day when there -was no P
need for them at the time. Also, si
students are warned to be careful
about leaving lights burning in their S,

The effort is a part of the attempt d
to cooperate with the workings of t
national defense to the fullest ex
tent.
Mr. Kelly stated that the students
are causing much wasted effort on
the part of the janitorial staff of
the University by the indiscriminate c
throwing of paper and other trash tc
in the student room lounge adjoin
ing the canteen. e
"Added to the wasted effort, the
looks of the room and the comfort

Made On Report
Of Committee
McKissick Says Amount
Fair And Liberal Under
Existing Circumstances
A total appropriation of $391,133
for the University has been ap
proved by both houses of the legis
lature. 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."
