Eighth Army forces set up a holding line 17 miles south of the politically sensitive boun dary in Korea, the 38th parallel, Monday. Allied patrols probed within a few miles of the parallel. The brief announcement from the army, after a three-day si lence, said that the holding ele ments are located at five points along the parallel. The announce ment did not include the location of the holding points. The Chinese appeared to have given up their last main military base south of the parallel Chunchon, eight miles below the line in central Korea. Indications that the Reds had abandoned well-prepared de fenses along the Hongchon river, south of Chunchon, were given in reports to Eighth Army head quarters. Twenty-four F-80 Shooting Stars, flying under cover of 12 F-86 Sabre Jets, firebombed, rocketed and strafed the airfield at Sinuiju on the Yalu river boundary between Manchuria end Korea. The port of evacuation for al lied troops last December, Hung nam, was bombed by the U. S. Far East air forces B-29's Sun day. The Superforts piled 150 tons of explosives on a red sup ply center nine miles northwest of the east coast port of Wonsan. Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway, commander of the Eighth army messaged his U.N. officers and troops that they had won the winter campaign, now drawing to a close. "1953, Year Of Preparedness;" Wilson 1953 will be a year of prepar edness, according to Defense Mo bilizer Charles E. Wilson. The United States will have a "really mighty array of weapons ready" to fight an all-out war, Wilson reported. In the same year, the country not only will meet defense pro duction requirements but "ought to actually be able to expand our output of civilian goods," the De fense head also said. Wilson gave his views in a copyrighted interview with the magazine U. S. News and World Reoort. Wilson said he had received the "green light" from President Truman on his program "espec ially on this debt-control busi ness that I have been working on." By debt control, he said, he meant "interest rate, credit con trol." Secretary of Commerce Charles Sawyer recently called for more stringent regulations on installment buying, and the treasury and federal reserve board reached agreement on gov ernment bond issues.

Kathleen Dill and Rudy Nelson are co-chairmen. The arrangement of .he candle light service will be a replica of the Last Supper with candles rep resenting the disciples. The four student pastors who will partici pate in the .service are Rex Knowles, Presby house; Dick Nutt, Methodist Student house; C. B. Howells, Baptist Student house; O. L. Turner, Christian Student group. Prayer, Scripture Included in the program are a prayer by Romain Rasmussen, scripture read by Ned Conger, a solo by Harriet Swanson and a reading, "Disciples in Clay," given by Audrey Flood and Neil Trabert. "Disciples in Clay," a sermon written by the former United States Senate chaplin, Peter Mar shall, and delivered to his Wash ington congregation, has been re vised and rewritten to fit the col lege scene by Bob Shuler. It is a discussion of the vay in which the 12 apostles were chosen, with implications for present day dis ciples. Service of Great Value "If there are those who for any reason prefer not to partake of the elements, they may feel free to remain in their seats in worship. We hope that each of us can share in his own way in this experience of worship; that this service and this season may have its greatest value in our lives," says Miss Ruth Shinn, YWCA executive director. The candle light and com munion service were initiated two years ago by the YM and YW in response to the desire of students to worship together without stressing denominational differ ences. Co-chairman Kathy Dill is head of the Worship Workshop and Fine Arts committee. She is also secretary of the Residence Halls for Women. Rudy Nelson is all University program chairman of the YM, a member of the Luth eran Student choir, the Corn Shucks and past vice-president of the YM.

Robert Martell, tenor soloist, nn Eugene Kuyper and Jack Anderson, baritone soloists, sang difficult arias of Bach's cantatas. Cantata Four, "Christ Lay in the Bonds of Death," offered the most variation from Bach's usual big and solid bass leads. The so pranos carried the lead until the second part in which the lead shifted from one section to an other. The other canata, "Thou Shep herd Bountiful," was unusual because it consisted of one cen tral theme, yet many counter points. The choir also sang "The Art of Fugue," and "Holy, Holy, Holy" as a processional and a seven-fold "Amen" to conclude their annual presentation. Organist Myron Roberts played the choral prelude, "We Believe in One God," and the well-known "Come Sweet Death." The Singers sing every year at Palm Sunday vespers and are directed by Dr. Arthur E. West brook, director of the School of Fine Arts. Ag Countryman . March Issue Out The Junior Ak-Sar-Ben March issue of the Cornhusker Country' man reached subscribers Satur day.

Appreciation of Modern Painting He explained that modern painting can only be appreciated by a balance of co-operation be tween the artist and audience so that both add to the creation of a meaning. He stated that art whose only merit is novelty will! not survive past its period. Pic tures protraying positive ideas are the only ones that will remain popular, he said.

G. Gustavson told the bud get committee of the state legis lature Monday afternoon. Chan cellor Gustavson, accompanied by 25 University deans and officials, appeared at the committee hear ing in support of the requested $13 million University budget $2 Ms million above Governor Pe terson's recommendations. Carl W. Borgmann, dean of fac ulties, explained the requested budget, item by item, presenting charts to emphasize his reports. Budret Fund Increase While the over-all University budget will increase only 17 per cent during the next biennium, he said, state funds must be expand ed 69 percent to make up for de creases from other sources and to expand the University's program. A $lVz million decrease in stu dent fees and almost $2 million for meeting inflation and compe tition of other schools must be offset by state funds, both Chan cellor Gustavson and Dean Borg mann declared. This would be in adition to the $8 million appropriation for the present biennium. Replace Obsolete Equipment Borgmann also estimated that $800 thousand would be required to replace obsolete equipment, make day-to-day repairs, pur chase books for the library and reopen the hospital ward at the medical school in Omaha. This brought the total to well over $12 million. An enlargement program of $125 thousand and a growth pri marily in the Colleges of Agri culture and Medicine, amounting to more than $1 million, must also be met by state appropriations, Borgmann said. In explaining the decrease from student tuition, Chancellor Gus tavson pointed to the decreased birth rate of the 1930's, the ter mination of veterans' training and the acuteness of world tension. ' Higher Salaries " He also emphasized the need for increasing teachers' salaries to compete with surrounding schools. While Nebraska's tuition is fie highest in the Big Seven and the Big Ten, Chancellor Gustavson said, teachers' salaries are, on the average, lower. Dr. Harold Leuth, dean of the College of Medicine, reported that during the present biennium, "every possible economy has been made" in his college, in cluding the closing of the hospi tal ward. Medical Expansion Approximately $400 thousand of the $13 million would be used to expand the program and facilities of the Medical College. Dr. William V. Lambert, dean of the College of Agriculture, spoke in support of the $475 thou sand increase scheduled for his college. When an "earmarked" appro priation was mentioned by the committee, Chancellor Gustavson declared that such a budget would "tie our hands." The departments of the University are interdepen dent, he said, and cuts are often made in one to advance other programs which are considered more important. Cannot Cut Faculty Substantial cuts in expenses cannot be made by decreasing the faculty, he said, even though the University enrollment may de crease to 5,500 or 6 thousand students next year. The hearing was attended by thirty-five persons, including all the deans of the college, four members of the board of regents, and several other University of ficials. Arnold Society to Begin Pledge Program Plans Arnold Society will meet to night at 7:30 in the Military and Naval Science building. Plans have been made to begin a pledge program. It will get un derway tonight. All men eligible to join should attend this meet ing. Juniors and sophomores are especially invited. 4 NANCY BUTTON
