John Beckham, spokesman foi the signers of the petition, ap peared at the board meeting t< explain the students' reasons foi wanting the change. The administration has beej working for two or thie month: on the schedule and the only ex cuse for changing is for the bene fit of veterans who cinnot sup port their families on their vet erans' income, the president said "Several conferences with fac ulty and staff were held regard ing the details of the summe sessions," Smith declared. In .-a - letter to Beckhan, th president explained that student could best prepare their lesson under the six-day schedule an this is "one of the most importan requisites of student life." "The university m ust kee faith with the Veterans Admin istration, which is paying bene fits to veterans without interrup tion if no more than two week intervene between sessions," h said. "If we were on a four-da V week, we would not only be giv ing the two weeks allowed inter val, but also a holiday for one third of each week, which th - Veterans Administration neve once considered." The president explained thi reasons in the letter for the six day schedule with relation to th, faculty and the operating ex penses.

Smith announced Wednesday. Committee members will visit the campus before the June meeting of the board to inspect the present facilities and prepare recommendations for presentation to the board. No more temporary build ings will be constructed on the campus as the present ones will carry the university over the peak of enrollment, the president said. The per manent buildings will replace them, and they will eventu ally be removed. - "Our needs are so great, and our funds so small that it is necessary to study the situ ation thoroughly before any r construction Is begun," Smith declared. Further bids on contracts for the goeral construction work on the enlargement of the stadium are still being received, he said. The steel t bid was let last month, and construction of this part of P the stadium will begin as soon as the material is available.

Student-Faci Forms New Carolina's student-faculty rela tions committee, defunct since last year, revived itself Wednesday at a meeting at Flinn Hall. Robert Sunmwalt, representing the student body-at-large, was elected chairman and Margaret Eleazer, student member, was chosen secretary. President Nor man M. Smith suggested that stu r dents hold the offices on the com a mittee. The purpose of the committee, t as set up by the present student r body constitution, is to provide a t body to which students can carry a complaints. The faculty also re a ceives the student reaction to various proposals through the m committee. Wednesday's meetng cncerned WuuKuu I o lers )n Bill; firmed Bill Decreases Allocations For University South Carolina's General As sembly took up the free confer ence version of the 1948-49 gen eral appropriations bill yesterday. The measure allocates $1,336,884 to the university, an estimated $100,000 less than last year's amount. The free conference measure eliminated the university's re quests for funds for promotions and increases of faculty salaries. Previously this amount had been included in the maintenance esti mates for each department, but this year was itemized separately on the Budget Commission re quest, Pres. Norman M. Smith said. Free conference committee mem bers placed the bill on legislators' desks Tuesday, after attempting to cut the appropriations to with in estimated income of the state for the 1948-'49 fiscal year. The Senate version appropriated over 110 million dollars, while House members passed out $108,221,235, both over estimated revenues. Included in the amount for the university, is the provision of $2, 000 for the community house at the Carovet apartments, and a stipulation that the university law school operate for 16 weeks this summer. Thc bookkeeping arrangement was changed so that the state sup ported institutions will retain all fees except tuition, which will be turned over to the state treasury. The state then appropriates the difference between the retained fees and maintenance and opera tion costs of each school. The university's estimate in the budget request was based on an expected enrollment of 4,600 for the 1948 fall term. Since that time, it has become evident that enrollment will reach only an es timated 3,750 because of the 12 grade addition to high school and the decline in veteran matricu lates, Smith said. "This means that the univer sity will not receive the estimated fees of $136,000 from the 760 or more students not enrolling," Smith said. The budget request and the appropriation are based on the assumption that the school will have these funds. Canterbury Will Hold Palm Sunday Services Annual Palm Sunday services will be held in Trinity Episcopal Church at 5 p. m.

Members of the committee are Sumwalt, Miss Eleazer, Miller Foster, representing the student body-at-large; Betty Mood, co-ed president; Ed Moorer, vice-presi dent of the student body; and President Smith, Dean J.
