Bell Cites Great Demand All Over State By RANNY" REAVES "It is remarkable how little Car olina has to offer in the way of general scholarships to under graduate students", R. G. Bell, chairman of the University Schol arship Committee said in a recent interview. "Applications for scholarships are pouring in daily, but we are unable to cope with them satis factorily," he added, explaining that of the general scholarships in existence, the only vacancy is in the school of pharmacy. "Any undegraduate student in need of funds with a 'B' average may ap ply for this scholarship, which be gins with the fall term of 1947," he said. Continuing, Mr. Bell said that there are students all over the state who need financial aid to attend college, and because the university cannot offer them schol arships, these young men and women attend other institutions, resulting in the loss of many out standing, worthy students. Bell is at present drawing up a list of recommendations to present to the committee on scholarship funds. "The university's list of scholarships cannot compare fa vorably with those of similar in stitutions," he said. Scholarships now in existence for undergraduate students at the university are the Beaufort Watts Ball scholarship (awarded by the faculty of the School of Journal ism to a worthy student who has completed two years of university work); The Class of 1894 Schol arship; The Bernard M. Baruch Fund (awarded by the president of the university to some aworthy student); The John j. Earle Schol arship; The William Schell Reamer Scholarship (awarded to some de serving and needy young man stu dent); The Margaret Ashe Schol arship (awarded by the Delta Delta Delta sorority to a student selected by the faculty of the Bi ology department); The Phar macy Foundation Scholarship; The Walgreen Scholarship (for phar macy students); and the McKis sick Memorial Scholarship. ANNOUNCEMENT Students are once again re minded by the city traffic division not to park their cars in the drive ways of residential homes located around the campus. The division also again requests that students refrain from parking on other than the right hand side of the street. Parking on the left is a violation of traffic regulations and cars found in this position will be tagged. Have You Losi Try The Lost4 By RUTH NEWELL The Lost and Found Depart ment, located in the post office by the door leading to Maxcy lobby is now enjoying a flourish ing business. Instituted by Joe M. Lawrence, the department has ar . tieles which are not of high value turned in to the post master. "Lost" notices n'umber up to 27 at present and all sorts of mis cellaneous articles are represented. Among the missing items are: three fountain pens; a black pocketbook; a red wallet and a black wallet, both containing valuables and with rewards offer ed for the latter; two identification bracelets, one with the name "Jane" on it, the other inscribed with the initials W.R.W. and the word "Morotai"-of great senti mental value to the owner; three textbooks-possibly of sentimental value to no one; one pair of red rimmed glasses-the loss of which probably resulted in red-rimmed eyes; a Sigma Nu Fraternity pin and a P1 PhI Sorority pin; a pair of black gloves; a gold evening bag lost at the latest German Club dance; a size 36 navy raincoat also lost at the German Club dnea Needed -aduates Differences In USC Salaries Draw Publicity Differences in the salaries re ceived by the university Marshal and his assistant have resulted in state-wide newspaper publicity for the matter within the last week. Brim Rykard, radio news commentator and newspaper writ er, reported in the Thursday, March 13, edition of the Anderson Independent that in the univer sity's report to the State Budget Commission for the current fiscal year, the salary for the Marshal and superintendent of buildings and grounds is listed as $5,100, while the pay for the assistant superintendent is listed as $5,650. In an attempt to account for this variation, Rykard reports that "he was advised that the assistant superintendent was a builder, in charge of the construction of sev eral buildings at the university under the federal program. There fore, he was employed when the work was completed at a salary higher than the superintendent." The two principals involved in the proceedings are Ottis Foster Kelly, Marshal, and his assistant, Jay Thomas Stradley. President Smith, in an interview with a staff reporter, stated: "I am sure that I couldn't account for it (the variance), unless it is because they hold entirely differ ent positions. One's an engineer, the other isn't." When asked to explain further, he replied: "Stradley is, Kelly is not. On graduating from the uni versity, Kelly worked in the office of the treasurer before transfer ring to his present position." According to personnel records available in Dean Chase's office, Kelly is shown to have graduated from Carolina in June, 1934, with a B.S. degree: Stradley is not listed as having attended an insti tution of higher learning. When asked whether or not these factsl; did not make the salaries in ques tion even more incompatible, the president stated: "I think this is a matter entirely between them. These differences existed as early as 1943, and as I see it, this matter does not per tain to the present administration. Both these men were engaged be fore I ever came here." i Your Mind? ic Found Case for which a reward of a size 40 raincoat is offered; and, a leather camera case. "Found" articles include: three additional fountain pens; a slide rule; a brown cigarette case (empty); a girl's change purse; a string of pearls; a red parasol, and two and a half hairpins. Within the glass enclosed case are pairs of glasses, a bus ticket from Charleston to Winston-Salem, an Identification bracelet inscribed "Marret", an Immaculate Concep tion medal, a dinner ring with prongs sticking up where five sets once graced a coed's finger, a gold ear bob from which a swan like stem leads to a gold loaf (complete with a brass thumb tack), a miscellaneous key (it is requested that Richard's roonm mate try this one), a '45 class ring, one white mitten, a pair of brown suede gloves, 63 visible thumb tacks, 2 invisible thiambtacks (Cor rection please, for benefit of scientists, they are simply not visible), and a box of tacks on the shelf.
