At a public hearing held I
Chamber, President Norma:
recommendations and suggestions
concerning the proposed bill drawn
up by the committee.
Smith said he favored the limit
ing of an overall council to "allo
cation of subjects and funds and
to presenting budgets." He also
suggested that boards of trustees
be left in control of the individual
colleges.
The president recommended that
a council for higher education be
set up, composed'of the six presi
dents of the state-supported insti
tutions and one member from each
board of trustees, with one mem
ber from the state education.
Smith also said that this co
ordinating council should not take
the responsibility of allocating en
dowments which, under the pro
posed bill, would be given only to
the central board. The president
asked that the respective schools
continue to receive such funds as
were contributed to them by
donors.
The salary listed by the propo
sal ($7,500) was considered too
large by the president, if the chair
man of the board should act as
secretary alone, but too small if
it was intended that he be chan
cellor of a university system simi
lar to that of Nor!li Carolina.
The bill, as proposed by the sub
committee, would consist of one
member from each congressional
district, one member from the
state-at-large, all appointed by the
governor upon recommendation of
the legislature, and also, one mem
ber from each of the boards of
trustees.
Pope stated that "this is the
first move by the Assembly to
create a new deal for education in
South Carolina."
Students Of Spanish
Get Chance To Study
Language In Mexico
Spanish students at the Univer
sity are being given the oppor
tunity to learn to speak fluent
Spanish through a six weeks'
course offered at Saltillo, Mexico,
this summer, according to S. C.
DePass, dean of the school of jour
nalism.
The school offers classes in va
rious subjects pertinent to Mexi
can civilization including conver
sation, history, literature, phon
etics, folklore, songs and dances
of Mexico, and art.
Approximately seven hours a
day for five days a week will be
spent in the study of Spanish. Stu
dents will be instructed by a pri
vate tutor instead of being placed
in group conversational classes.
The fee for the six weeks'
period Is $225. Students will be
accommodated In private homes in
order that they may be more
closely associated with the lan
guage and customs of the country.
Classes are scheduled to begin
June 30, and the session will run
through August 8. Communica
tions pertaining to enrollment,
traveling arrangements, and infor
mation should be addressed to
Donald M. Custer, Box 413, Salida,
Colorado.

Funds For University
Increased $50,000
By House Committee
The House Ways and Means
committee this week announced
a $50,000 increase to the univer
sity's appropriation over the
$420,000 previously recommended
by the State Budget Commission.
The original request of $597,218
was made-to the commission at its
hearings in December.
The House voted to delay until
Tuesday consideration of the new
"consolidating" measure, which
would pool all state funds and on
individual appropriations for sev
eral weeks.
Carolina's appropriation will
probably be the first to be con
sidered in the educational division
of the appropriations bill.
