Graham asked for a $12,000 an nual increase for the Woman's College and a $21,500 annual in crease for State College above the recommendations made by that board for this budget bien ium but made no reference to any direct increase for Carolina. The Advisory Budget commis sion had recommended an in crease in the University's budget for 1943-44 of $71,934 over the previous year. For 1944-45 the commission was planning to up the budget again by another $3,579. Averaged over the regular two year budget span, the appropria tions equal $37,756 a year. This is compared to an average yearly increase of $58,287 for State and $68,537 for WCUNC. "We had hoped that an adjust ment to the cost of living would be made after a restoration of the salary scale which obtained for the staff of our state institu tions during the decade before the great depression,'' President Graham " said. "Their salaries did not go up with the great boom of late nineteen twenties but went down in the great depres sion and have never been re stored to par and in the middle and upper brackets, not even with the proposed war bonus of the present budget. The war bonus increase still leaves some of our most eminent professors below the salary scale of twenty years ago. "We wish to express our ap proval and appreciation of the democratic principle of gradua ted ' increases, with the highest proportion of the lowest paid throughout the state payroll whose desperately low wages and salaries cry out for urgent adjustment to the cost of living. The partial adjustment proposed is a step in line with a sound and democratic state and national policy."
