Stevens conferred with military and government officials in Japan, South Korea and Formosa during the tour. He repo ted the Chinese Nationalist forces on Formosa displayed "notable im provement over a year ago" and declared they could "give a very good account of themselves" if they were attacked. The appraisal of the military situation around Formosa appears to coincide with that expressed by President Eisenhower and other leading military and diplomatic officials. On the strength of this appraisal, President Eisenhower has directed American forces in j the area to stand clear of any fighting until he can assess the intent , of any Communist attack. The President has remained uncommitted j on the extent of American participation in any possible outbreak I of hostilities in the area, especially on Quemoy and Matsu Islands. ! Court Considers Segregation j The Supreme Court opened hearings Monday on how to end the traditional segregation of Negro and white school children in south ern states. The hearings were scheduled nearly a year ago when the court handed" down the. opinion that segregation was unconsti tutional. Attorneys for Negro groups contend immediate integration is the best way to solve the problem. However, representatives of southern states are expected to argue the immediate integration would provoke violence. la rqest Contributor' WUS Thanks AUF For 1954 Support A check for $1763.60, has been received by World University Service from the All University Fund, Peyton Short, regional WUS secretary, announced.

"WUS wishes to thank all AUF board members, students and fac ulty of the University of Nebraska for their generosity," Short said. Nebraska is the leading contribu tor in the central United States and one of the biggest in the na tion, Short said. University of Nebraska Legislature Hsurdoon SWWUSJBl Pi Chancellor Clifford Hardin ap peared before the Legislature Budget committee last week and presented the enlarged University budget for 1955-57. The University's needs for the two-year period, according to the request, will be $18,830,000, ap proximately a million dollars more than the Gov. Victor Anderson has recommended and a little more than three million dollars over the present allocation. University funds come from the state's general fund. Dr. Hardin told the committee h? expects an increase of 1000. students by 1957. He also said that funds would be necessary to give merit pay increases to outstand ing faculty members. Other Uni versities are seeking better and larger staffs in anticipation of en rollment increases, he said. Industry Nebraska is on the threshold of industrial development, Dr. Har din said, and there is a need for the University to provide leader ship for this development. He point ed out the widespread work of the University throughout the state and said every county but one, Mc Pherson, has students amending the University. Comptroller John Selleck ex plained that part of the increased operating costs were due to the j new psychiatric unit in Omaha, the addition to Teachers High and general increased costs and a Christmas Carol Concert and the Messiah. Requirements for membership in the organization include an in terest in music and a voice of rea sonable range. Members are chos en on a basis of tryouts.

RALSTON "The University of Nebraska may be proud of the manner in which it has shown the other col leges and universities of the coun try the capacity to share this na tion's great wealth and leadership on the international level," be said. The funds received will be used for lodging and living facilities for students, educational equip ment, refugee services, student health supplies and many other basic erquirements of student life in foreign lands, Short said.

Coo--- I coln Sur8nd said 1 h c Hardin tne Duaget re quest would require "a lot of study." TV Development Questioned about the Universi ty's recent television development, Dr. Hardin said that it might be possible that in two or three years a requisition of over $200, 000 or more might be needed. Dr. Hardin was queried concern- ing the ratio of students to faculty and he said the University's facul- ty-Stuaeni proportion compares la- vorably with other similar institu tiens. The increase over the present budget would be $3,830,000 and from this $1,208,765 would go for "merit" staff salary increases to retain key staff members, Hardin said. Library Hours Social Security for employees would require $400,000 of the ad ditional equipment would cost $530,944. Increased operating costs would require $337,400 of the funds.
