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.

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

One of the half-dozen most re
spected poets in contemporary
America, Tate will read and inter

in the field especially enable him
to speak on twentieth century Amer

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

Sessions To Be Held

ot prominent poets and novelists
and has published five books of
critical essays.
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.
From 1928 to 1930 Tate was a
fellow of the Guggenheim Founda

prizes.
Tate will also speak Friday at

Professor Kendall has agreed to
lecture to all interested university
students."
Two sessions will be held, the
first, Tuesday, at 7:30 p.m. and the
second Tutsday, March 1.
"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.
