Interest from endowments cover
ing $40,000 are available annually

according to the 1948-49 catalog
announcements. This amount in
cludes seven endowments varying
from $2,000 to $10,000.
Twelve additional fellowships
are provided for in scholarship
funds, foundations, trusts and
loans. These range from $100
awards to four-year scholarships.
"These scholarships are small in
number in comparison to scholar
ships at other universities," stated
Robert G. Bell, chairman of the
scholarship committee. "We know
of no other school with fewer
scholarships than the university."
Stressing the desperate need of
scholarships, Mr. Bell explained
_ that the need presented opportuni
tie to fraternities, sororities and
other campus organizations to pro.
mote scholarships through their in
fluence and contacts with peopk
who are able to establish scholar
ship ioundations.
e Many students are not aware o

Wise To Present
Consolidation Bill
By JOE MOLONY
Editor-in-Chief
Rep. Joseph F. Wise, Jr. of Charleston, announced to The
Gamecock Wednesday that he would re-present- the Peabody
Report on the floor of the House of Representatives in the
form of a bill when the legislature convenes the second
Tuesday in January.
Having been a co-author of the original bill suggesting
the Peabody Report, Representative Wise is familiar with
the far-reaching possibilities of the report.
It's one of the greatest steps we could take toward con
solidating programs of higher education in the state," he said.
Representative Wise added: "I was on the five-man com
mittee which considered the report in 1946 and found it
then, just as I do now, a favorable means of benefiting
higher education in South Carolina. It will stop constant
fighting between the state-supported colleges and will elim
inate some of the favoritism shown a few of the schools."
The original report was introduced as a bill by Rep. Hugo
S. Sims, Jr. of Orangeburg. It passed in the House of Rep
resentatives, but it has been buried in a Senate committee
room since 1946.
Since there has been a turnover in the General Assembly
since the report was passed in the House, it must go back
to that body who will vote on it. If it is passed in the
House it will be referred to the Senate again.
The Gamecock's editorial stand in favor of the Peabody
Report, drew a vote of confidence from Student Council, the
representative student government of the university, at its
meeting yesterday. Council delegated The Gamecock to send
letters and questionnaires to each member of the General
Assembly and all other interested parties and to publicize
its findings in next week's issue. The Gamecock was desig
nated to handle all publicity pertaining to the report.
Council appointed a five-man committee on consolidation
of control of higher education among state-supported insti
tutions. This committee will handle all incidentals pertain
ing to correspondence, research and contact work directl)
relating to the Peabody Report.
The Gamecock was given a general idea of the purpose
and definition of the report on its editorial page (page 4).
However, copies of the 435-page report may be secured from
the McKissick, Caroliniana and Richiand County libraries,
the State House, and from most law firms in Columbia.
