Ap parently, however, ' this maxim does not apply to campus organ izations. ! One such group had planned an open meeting complete with a guest speaker who was to speak on a current issue. The meeting, however, happened to fall on a very chilly night. Because of the hazards of the elements only three persons showed up: the president, the program chairman and the guest speaker. I The meeting adjourned to the Crib for an intellectual discus sion over a pot off tea. Mamei (faffed Motions Session curity Council Affairs. Born in London, he received his B.

BuMn Reappraisal nceivable "Complete reappraisal" of our building plans for the next two yem-s will be necessary if $200, 000 for a new governor's mansion is taken out of the state's special 1.1 mill institutional building levy, Chancellor Hardin state Tuesday. The bill, to take the funds from the building levy, appeared to be in favor of the majority of the lawmakers . The Legislature has turned down the bill to take man sion money out of the general fund. "There's no question we would have to knock somethin'g out of our plans," Hardin said. He es timated that $30,000 would be tak en from the University's share of the levy over the next two years. He said, however, the miversity would not actively oppose the move by the Legislature. William H. Diers, chairman of the State Board of Control, estim ated about $85,000 would be lost to the boarl of funds come from the building levy. He did not think the action, would seriously hurt that agency's program. The University and Board of Control get the major share of funds raised by the special levy. Co Two Convocations Scheduled!

The Outside World Red China Protests By DICK Staff Writer The Chinese Communist hierarchy renewed protests against what it termed U.S. aggressive moves but gave little hint of their own moves in broadcast talks hailing the fifth anniversary of their treaty with Russia. Mai Tse-tung, top Chinese Communist, and Premier Chou En-lai asserted that if "imperialists" wage war, "we, together with the peoples of the whole world, will certainly wipe them clean from the face of the globe." At the same time, Communist forces have occupied the evacuated Tachen Islands and are considered to have the initiative for the time being. The remaining Nationalist outpost islands, especially Quemony and Matsu, are expected to be the next trouble spots. Lodge Hails Foreign Policy Henry Cabot Lodge Jr., U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, told a Lincoln Day dinner the foreign policy of the Eisenhower Ad ministration is enabling the free world to "settle down confidently to the long haul" toward strengthening world peace. The strongest element of that policy, Lodge told the Pennsylvania Republicans, has been President Eisenhower's "fight for Formosa" declaration. "This courageous and timely move is our best insurance against war in that area," he said. Convention Dates Debated Republicans have given up in attempts to find a suitable date in September for their presidential convention. However, National Chair man Leonard Hall indicated he hopes state election laws will be changed to permit an August meeting. Democrats have announced they will open their convention in Chicago's International Amphitheater July 3, unless state laws are changed before then, in which case the date would be Aug. 13. Certi fication requirements in certain states at present stand in the way oi later conventions. Surplus Wheat Problem Studied Secretary of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson told a news conference .Monday he was searching for a problem. Present farm programs of production controls, flexible price supports and subsidized exports are not solving the problem, he said. The Secretary said he is requesting the National Agricultural Ad visory Commission to review the situation and study various proposals for its solution. Legislature Delays Salary Bills The Nebraska Legislature moved Tuesday to group together all salary increase bills and hold thorn for action later in the session. The group also killed LB 45, which would have allowed state depart ments to withhold pay for purchases of federal government savings bonds. It failed to revive LB 160 which would have set up an examin ing board for surveyors. Hoover Proposal Criticized The Hoover Commission's proposal for a highly skilled and politi cally neutral group of administrators to run the government was anything but warmly received in both houses of Congress. Criticism mainly centered around the opinion that it was not practical. One House member stated bluntly, "Congress just isn't going to pass this." Swiss Army Alerted ine bwiss army was reported the Romanian' Legation unless it anti-Communist Romanians who killed the legation chauffeur in a pre-dawn attack. The Swiss police chief and a foreign office official entered, the darkened, police-besieged legation Tuesday in another attempt to negotiate capitulation of the four anti-Reds barricaded behind its tiiick walls. Wilson: US Holds Atomic Lead Secretary of Defense Charles E. Wilson said Tuesday he still thinks "we are out ahead of the Russians" in atomic weapons, and the Russians know the United States is leading. Asked at a news conference if he thought a stalemate had been reached between Russia and the United States in nuclear weapons, he answered, "I don't think so." vocations will be in Love Library Auditorium. One of the half-dozen most re spected poets in contemporary America, Tate will read and inter pret selections from his six books ot poetry.' Tate's poetry is a re flection of modern American poetry and his long years of composition in the field especially enable him to speak on twentieth century Amer ican poetry. New Criticisnr. late is known for his participa tion in a type of literary criticism known as 'The New Criticism. The 'New Criticism' has been attacked and debated a great dea. since the name was coined. Tate con tends that its make-up is nearly impossible to determine. The phrase, 'New Criticism' was first used by an American critic, John Crowe Ransom, in a book of criticism. Since then it has been used to refer to many American critics such as Ransom and Tate A distringuishing feature is the em ployment of a close examination of the text of a book in order to draw conclusions from the book Southern Agrarian' This explication of the text has contributed to American teaching methods. Tate is well-known for his use of the method in criticism Council Project Parliamentary Review Sessions To Be Held Two lectures on parliamentary procedure, sponsored by the Stu dent Council, will be presented by Bruce Kendall, assistant professor of speech and dramatic art, Tues day and March 1.

Tate was graduated from van derbilt, University, and taught for many years in southern universit ies. He is considered a 'Southern agrarian.' A frequent theme in his work is the contrast and conflict between Southern traditionalism and what many of his colleague term the modern American lack of tradition. In connection with these literary served as editor on several liter ary reviews. He has taught at New York University, University of Chi cago, and is at the present time a professor of English at the Uni versity of Minnesota. Four Anthologies During his life he has also found time to edit four anthologies of poetry and criticism, and to write biographies of Stonewall Jackson and Jefferson Davis.

"At this time, no meeting place has been arranged but it will be announced as soon as possible," Rogers said. Kendall, who teaches a class in parliamentary procedure, said that the sessions will be conducted in the manner of a classroom lecture and discussion. He went on to say that he will adjust his lectures to meet the needs and interests of those attending. Rogers also said that letters are being sent to officers of campus or ganizations, urging them to attend if interested. He explained that any university student is welcome to attend these meetings, especi ally officers of campus organiza tions, fraternities and sororities. Rogers and Kendall, in discuss ing plans for the meetings, ex plained that different points of procedure will be reviewed and discussed. The lectures should in clude methods of conducting meet ings, means of motion, how to ex pedite meetings, the technical as pects of outlining motions and when motions can be presented most effectively. Rogers said that the motion came before the Student Council as a result of suggestions from campus officers for a session of this type.
