The present cut of 25 2/3 per tures leaves the institution with ies. tat certain funds were received tetivity-such as cafeterias, in id other non-profit, self-support ing-activities. The amount ex. pended for each of these are sel and cannot be cut. Therefore any cuts must be taker in the five fields of administration, instruction, library, general ex. pense, general plant expenses, and graduate school, Smith pointed out The appropriation first requested a by the university was $1,789,263.94, Il of this, a total of $1,250,000 was recommended by the Budget Com. i, mission. In the Ways and Means ie Committee this figure was cut to ie $1,225,000. n Justifications for the amount first requested was given in fif n teen items which were put into the f- annual report of the university, If However, ten of these fifteen items a were inadvertently omitted in the a South Carolina State Budget foir 1950-1951. Included in these omis sions were requests for additional 11 land, remodeling of old buildings, - a new science building, and better power plant distribution system. Bulletins containing these omis sions have been given to eaci legislator. In a letter written on January 25 President Smith pointed out that while the 14% decrease 'in enroll ment is expected- next year, this d will not reduce expensies since the students wfil be yount:er and need more counseling. In addition, he continued, faculty salaries are $200-$500 less than the i average paid in southern universi. e0 ties. The university makes no pro j. vision for faculty homes and a cut in this field would cause the salaries to be lower than in the past even though the cost of living 0 has not increased. "If the present budget passed by t- the House is adopted," Smith said, 1. "it will impair our efficiency, in terrupt and set back our educa tional program, and break down e- the morale of our faculty." Prof. Patterson Named New Aide To Pres. Smith k- W. H.
