The Outside World '
Stevens Finishes Tour
By DICK
Staff Writer
Army Secretary Stevens came back from a two-weeks flying
tour of the Far East Sunday with the opinion that the Chinese Com
munists have no immediate plans for an offensive in the Formosan
area.
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.

secretary, announced.
The amount is a portion of the
total donation of AUF, Andy

all solicitors have turned in their
collections, he said.
"WUS wishes to thank all AUF

Chancellor Clifford Hardin ap

Budget committee last week and
presented the enlarged University

The University's needs for the
two-year period, according to the
request, will be $18,830,000, ap
proximately a million dollars more

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.

The funds received will be used

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.
