Guy Jackson of Anahuac, Tex., told the Nebraska Water Confer ence at the University, that "these critics talk long and loud about 'surpluses, when in truth and fact they are 'reserves.' " He said these 'reserves are needed by us to keep our domi nant position in this world of na tions the same as a reserve of airplanes, guns, ammunitions, and tanks. The concluding ' - cer at the two-day conference, Mr. Jackson explained that during the past 35 years, there has been no material increase in the total crop land agreage in the U.S. "Lands brought into production during that period through recla mation, drainage, and clearing have been approximately offset by lands that have gone cut of pro duction due to withdrawal to non agricultural uses, erosions, and de terioration." He reported that good land is being taken out of agricultural pro duction at the rate of about l, 8CK),000 acres per year. Jackson sees a complete bal ance of supply and demand by 1962,"even with the improved seeds, farming methods, and fer tilizers together with the substitu tion of motor power in lieu of horse and mule power." He continued; "Some of the new agricultural land needed for our growing population will come from the 17 western states. The primary limiting factor is availability of wa ter, so we must learn to conserve and use every gallon." Jackson pointed out that the pri mary and ultimate purpose of rec lamation is irrigation "nothing but that." But, he added, "reclamation can survive only with the help of rev enue derived from a by-product function Hie generation of hydro electric power. "Without that incidental source of by-product revenue, reclamation could not continue and the re sultant effects upon the economy of the western half of the U.S. would be incalcuable but disas trous." Final 'Pet Luck' The final Ag campus "Pot Luck With the Profs", will be held March 17, accreting to Burt Weica enihal, Ag Union committee chairman. Li ii u V Nebraska! Photo Souders. Larrv EDstein Bill Reed, Ned Nadri. Jim Kuhacki and Charles TsoukalasT Health Coverage? A? CI Students Okay' Insurance Program Student opinion on the new health insurance program put into opera tion at the .University this semester is favorable, according to a straw vote taken by the Daily Nebraskan. The plan was developed to cover 100 per cent of the medical. ex penses which might face students. The bid by Mutual Health and Ac cident Company of Omaha was ac- cpeted by the University adminis tration, according to Ben Loudon, personnel and information officer. The University's policy protects students normally "in between" on family coverage plans, and will be a definite help, to young mar ried students since coverage can be extended to include the imme diate family, according to Ben Pat terson of Mutual of Omaha. Ordinarily students over 18 are out of the range of family policies, he added. Most of the students interviewed by the Daily Nebraskan thought the low cost of the program its' best feature. "The price is right," said a senior engineering student. Others thought the insurance pro gram will cover accidents and ill nesses they would not normally be protected against. At least one fraternity has urged its members participating in intra mural athletics to take out poli cies. A number of others are plan ning to do the same. One woman student, a sopho-' more in Teachers College, thought the plan "a very sound idea," but said she already had similar cov erage in a regular policy. "If it weren't for that I'd take it," , she said. This was the same cir cumstance with a few other stu dents. A junior in Arts and Sciences said he had taken out a policy part-: ly because he was "accident I prone, and partly because the Ex-President In Omaha: ' Reporter Quizzes Truman; By CAROLE FRANK Copy Editor "I am in favor of federal aid for all college and univerisities and hope to .vte this granted in the near future," said former Presi dent of the-United States, Harry Truman 'in an exclusive interview with The Daily Nebraskan. Mr. Truman has a steadfast policy of never granting private interviews but decided to make an exception in this case because it was for a student newspaper. When asked the question, "Should 18-yearold's be allowed to vote?", he replied, "In my opin ion 18-y ear-old's should not be al lowed to vote until they have reached the age of 21 because too many of them lack the ability to vote intelligently before, that age." He qualified this statement by stating "All students should attain as much knowledge as possible during their college career. If they are specializing in certain fields, students should take advantage of the great opportunities available to them today so they will become better citizens in the future." At the scheduled press confer ence later in the presidential suite at the Sheraton-Fontenelle Hotel in Omaha, Mr. Truman was asked pertinent questions pertaining to events of national importance by local and national news agencies. When asked bis opinion of the present foreign policy, he cleverly evaded the direct question by an swering, "Every president has his own idea of how foreign policy I die) I Talented University women will present the annual Coed Follies revue tonight and Tuesday night.

The married students inter viewed were generally "enthusias tic" about the policy, as one Korean War veteran stated. "It is the only way I can get low-cost insurance for my family," he said. Another married student, who i will graduate in June, said he ! "wished the program had come in j a year ago" when he could have benefited. Policies were sold the first two i weeks of this semester to be ef fective until the end of the term. I la- the future, the policy will be able to be obtained or renewed j only at the beginning of the school I year.
