State Might Give $324,000 To USC University Empowered To Raise Tuition Costs The General Assembly will prob ab)ly appropriate $324,000 for the University for the fiscal year be ginning July 1, 19413, andl ending June 31, 1944. This is the same amount wvhich was ap)prop)riated1 for its maintenance a year ago. Trhe H-ouse of Representatives has already voted it in the General Appropriation Bill and, since the Senate Finance Committee has so recommended, it seems likely that the Senate will adopt the same fig uire. A new provision in the bill is that the University andl other State insti tutions of higher education are em powveredl to charge an additional amount for tuition for the third se muester over and above that charged for the customary term of nine nmon ths5. D)iscussing appropriations for the State colleges in the Senate Wednesday, Senator Edlgar A. Brown, chairman of the Senate Fi ance Committee, said that they wvere the most uncertain of all state agencies or institutions because "they don't know whether they will have 2,000 students next year or 800." The University of South Caro lyina, arouind which the state edlu cational system is built, he said hadl spent many years building a faculty and organization. HeI saidl this also applied to other colleges operatedl by tite state. "Wec've got these tine organiza tions on our hands," he said, "and if we let their men get into pri vate emp)loymlent then we wvill be sete c atleast 50 yarse." rNav Spring Holidays To Last Six Days The University's Easter holidays will not be shortened this year, but will extend from 8 a. m., Friday, April 23, to 8 a. m., Thursday, April 19, President McKissick announces.
