Amount To Build S
Ilow the appropriation for the L'
recommended by the State Budget
less than that for this year is expla
basis of authoritative information gi
The appropriation for the Univer-'
sity for this fiscal year (1943-4.1) is
$:2 1.00n.
Ihe Budget Commission reduced
that amount by 10 per cent as it
did in the case of other State insti
tutions of higher education. Then
the Commission deducted $41,207.
60. representing the principal and
interest for the year on University
bonds which. beginning Jan. 1 will
be paid by the State Sinking Fund
Commission under an act of the
1943 legislature. This amount was
heretofore paid from University
fund:. The Commission made sim
ilar deductions in the appropriations
of other State institutions of higher
education.
The announced purpose of the
Commission in reducing appropri
ations is to build up a reserve of
State funds and to prevent a future
deficit.
The yardstick for reduction was
r applied equally -nd fairly to all the
State institutions of higher educa
tion, President McKissick was in
formed.

GirlsToReserve
RoomsFeb.1-10
Town Girls May Put
Names On Waiting List
Mrs. Arney R. Childs, dean of
women at the University of South
Carolina, has made announcements
concerning the procurement of
rooms in Sims College for the
Mareb semester. Out-of-town girls
may reserve rooms during Feb. 1
15 by depositing $5. Columbia girls
cannot reserve rooms until Feb. 10,
in order to give the first chance to
the girls from outside Columbia
who depend on the dormitories for
places to stay.
It was expected that the number
of girls applying for rooms in Sims
would be smaller next semester,
because of February graduation and
the fact that few South Carolina
high schools have mid-year gradu
ation. However, there has already
been an unusually large number of
applications, many of them from
northern girls who will graduate
from high school in February.
The following announcement was
issued by Mrs. Childs, concerning
room-reservations for the spring-se
mester.
1. From February 1st to Febru
ary 10th I shall open lists to out of
town students now resident in the
three biuldings to reserve rooms
for the March term.
2. Pay $5.00 fee to the Treasurer
and bring receipt to my office to
make reservation.
3. Columbia girls must wait until
March 15 to come into any build
ing but may put their names on' a
vaiting list February 1st. They do
not have to pay a reservation fee.
All Columbia girls now in the build
ings must move out before Febru
ary 26th.
4. No freshmen in llampton or
WVauchope may move into Sims.
U~pperclassmnen in Wauchope may
fill vacancies in Sims and freshmien
in W~auchope may till vacancies in
Hampton, if they so desire. If it .is
necessary in order to place new
freshmen, upper class students in
Wauchiope may have to move into
Sims.
5. Present occupant oi auny room
has an option on the room until
February 10th except seniors gradu
ating in February.
6. Rooms now occupied by Feb
ruary graduates or Columbia girls
may be reserved in thle order of ap
plication on or after February 1st.
7. If possible, I hope to hate 110
more thani two girls in any room
for the spring and sumumer terms.
Make your plans accordlingly but1
be prepared fur in a room if
necessariy.
8. After February 10th 1 shall bec
ginl to place new students in rooms
not yet reserved.
Post Office
Mrs. Moon, University post
nistress, wishes to. remind stu
dents to put their box numbers
on their mail, 'and to tell their1
correspondents to do so also.
Says Mrs. Moon, "I want to
thank the students for their re
sponse to our plea. Most of
them have done so, but a few
still have not. Business is not
as great now that Christmas sea
son is past, but it Is still large,
and the box numbers assist us
very much In our work."
