Hen derson, associate agricultural eco nomist. This will be broken down in three parts: ground water re sources, development ot irrigated land and the cost of irrigation. Adhvntfo Any suggestions will be printed in The Nebraskan, which should act as a damper on rambunctious ones. The committee wants to know student reaction to sugges tions and would appreciate com ment, Shugrue said. If the idea is successful this year, committee members hope that it will become a tradition. Future members of the world of higher education should have no grounds for believing the University is a dead-beat school and inhabited sole ly by educated non-socials.

By DICK RALSTON Staff Writer Evacuation o Chinese Nationalist troops from the Tachen Islands began Sunday night under cover of the U.S. Seventh Fleet. The opera tion has thus far been peaceful, with no signs of Communist opposition. The Communists have been warned that any attack on the Tachens whOe the evacuation is in progress will be interpreted as interference with the mission of the Seventh Fleet and will bring instant retalia tion. The Reds have seized upon this announcement as new evidence that the United States is guilty of "a war provocation against -the People's Republic of China" and of gravely threatening "the peace of the Far East." Chinese Nationalist President Chiang Kai-shek announced Monday that the evacuation of the 1500 troops from the Tachens was necessary for a redeployment of Nationalist forces in preparation for a counter attack against the mainland of China. UN Action For Cease Fire? The possibility of new diplomatic moves within the United Nations to bring about a cease-fire between the Chinese Reds and the Chinese Nationalists in Formosa was reported in Washington. U.N. Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. said there may be an announcement of such a move this week. c Sen. H. Alexander Smith, top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Far Eastern Subcommittee, said he would support the move because he believes it would have a ''tremendous impaction world opinion. He said the world would then be served notice of efforts ct the United States to obtain peace. If the Russians should veto such a move, he added, it would also make it clear to the wor'I v,ber they stood. gestions for a social event, and suggestions may be submitted to The Nebraskan. Other committee members art Jo Knapp, Marv Stromer, Ana Kokjer, Jim Cederdahl, Don No votny, Ken Philbrick, Mike Shu grue, Joyce Taylor, Al Overcash, Courtney Campbell, Roger Ber ger, Dick Fellman, Sara Hubka, Jack Rhoden and Muriel Pickett.
