USC Faculty,
Staff Given
Year's Bonus
"The Board of Trustees as its
October meeting, in accord with a
request made by me, authorized
that an increment due to the in
creased cost of living be added to
the salaries of the University of
South Carolina staff and faculty
during the fiscal year 1948-49,"
Rear Admiral Norman M. Smith,
president, announced today.
Admiral Smith added that for
the staff members this will be dis
tributed over the fiscal year, and
for the faculty over the regular
year of two terms of nine months.
"This applies to faculty and
staff members who have been em
ployed at the university for one
calendar year prior to October 1,
1948. Those who have been em
ployed for less than a year or on
a part-time basis will receive a
pro rata percentage. Payments will
be made in equal monthly install
ments," he continued.
Admiral Smith said that no one
will receive for the full year more
than the maximum of $7400 set
by the Board of Trustees.
"Last year the General Assem
bly failed to appropriate sufficient
funds to provide for a 15 per cent
increase in faculty and staff sal
aries. This increment is approved
in order to alleviate hardships
caused by price rises," Admiral
Smith concluded.

he playing of the Carolina-Clem
ion game next year," President
3mith announced this week.
The contract for the concrete

if we will ever have a full-time
diretur, because we have alreAdy
asked several men in the state to
assume these duties, and all of
them have refused by giving press
ing business needs the reason.
"We are very fortunate in se
curing Professor Tomlin's services
because he is well known and liked
by everyone on the campus, and
should have no trouble in securing
cooperation from both the students
and faculty," Smith concluded.
