THE ISLAND OF FORMOSA, last-ditch stronghold of the Chi
nese Nationalists forces of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, may soon
be turned into a springboard for an attack on the Communist-held
Chinese mainland. U. S. government sources said that President
.Eisenhower may be planning to lift the U. S. Naval ban against
Nationalist attacks, freeing Chiang's troops for commando raids
against the Reds. The large map shows the location of Nationalist

Speech On Page 4)
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands
Mountainous new tides rolled in
upon Europe's battered coasts yes
terday, bringing fresh peril to lands
which already have counted more
than 850 dead in a week end of
hurricane and flood. The toll may
tpass the 1,000 mark when all
bodies are recovered. Towering
waves pounded through ancient
dikes at 70 places and covered a
sixth of Holland with salt water,
bringing the country's worst dis
aster since the 15th Century.
Britain counted 395 dead, 248 in
floods," 132 in the sinking of the
ferry Princess Victoria and 15 in
the disappearance of a British
trawler.
HUNSTANTON, England Amer
ican airmen waded neck deep in
icy waters yesterday searching for
survivors of a flood which all but
wiped out Hunstanton and Heach
am "a little corner of America"
in east England. Nine Americans
were counted as dead. One air
man, a sergeant's wife and four
children were know dead their
(bodies lay in a morgue here. Thir
teen others were' listed as missing
and feared drowned in the flood
waters of the North Sea which
combined with the fury of the
north wind to almost sweep away
"Little America." American- au
thorities said the final American
toll would be even higher.

cloudless - skies, dropped 2Q04XJ0
pounds of bombs across the 155
mile battleline in their biggest at
tack in more than a year as the
Korean fighting continued to be
mostly in the air. About 10 fighter-bombers
smashed a troop con
centration southeast of Cinmamoo
on the west coast, levelling 20
buildings and touching off six large
secondary explosions that sent
dense smoke shooting thousands
of feet into the air.

As Study Aid
Grants and scholarships to 144
athletes here averaged -698.83 this
year, ranging from $50 to $1,200.
Non-athletic grants to 289 under
graduates averaged $184.72.
All the athletic grants, valued at
$100,632, were contributed from
private sources but were awarded
by the University.
This information comes from a
comprehensive report released to
the press this morning. The report
was compiled by Central Records
Director Edwin E. Lanier upon in
struction by Chancellor R. B.
House.
Chancellor House, in referring
to the grants to athletes, pointed
out, "Not a cent of these funds
comes from University appropria
tions, student fees or athletic gate
receipts."
The University awarded a total
of 497 scholarships and grants dur
ing the year 144 to athletes, 289
to undergraduate non-athletes and
64 to graduate students. The non
athletic grants are divided thus:
$53,385 to undergraduates and $76,
835 to graduate students.
Of the $100,632 awarded to ath
letes, $98,532 (for 140 of the 144
athletic grants) was contributed
by the Educational Foundation, an
organization of University alumni
and friends whose primary pur
pose it is to give financial aid to
students participating in athletics.
The Foundation also gave funds
for 14 scholarships for non-athletes,
the report shows.
The Monogram Club, out of pro
ceeds earned at the Blue and White
football game, offers two $300
scholarships. The endowed Charlie
Justice Scholarship, valued at $1,
000, and 39 canteen grants, totaling
$2,400 were also awarded.
Chancellor House's study shows
that 558 students earned $329,145
in University self-help jobs vary
ing from graduate assistants to
dishwashers. The undergraduate
students in these jobs numbered
541 and the graduates 47.. There
were loans, bearing three per cent
interest, to 77 different students
totaling $42,640. -
"The University is grateful to
the Educational Foundation for its
$100,000 contribution. It is award
ed, through the University Scholar
ship Committee, as grants to stu
dents participating in athletics,"
Chancellor House said.
"This contribution has enabled
the University to award its limited
number of endowed scholarships
to non-athletes. We need more en
dowed scholarships, and we point
with pride to what is perhaps the

Jeeping
By John Jamison
He was discharged but he still wore his fatigues
for hanging around the house or washing the car.
He looked healthy and rested after two weeks
in Japan and four more on shipboard. At 130
pounds he was quite trim and muscular. He
weighed 215 when they drafted him two years
ago.
"What sort of war is that over in Korea?" his
friend asked.
"It's a strange one, that's what sort it is," he
said. "I was over there for nine months and all
that time I lived in one bunker. 'No man's land'
is about 300 yards wide and you seldom "get any
closer than that to the Chinese. There are never
any big assaults, at least where I was. Just the
artillery and probing patrols at night."
"What's the worst part, the cold?" the friend
asked.
v- "I guess that's the worst thing about it. Like
I said, I lived in that bunker most of the time.
But when it got too cold, I could go sleep in my
tank over the transmission; there was a little heat
coming up from there. I was lucky though, being
in a tank outfit. Most guys, just had to stay in
the bunkers."

Saturday Class Fight
Is Still Being, Waged
The fight against Saturday classes moved into its final round yes

Horton said "things were looking up." A new committee, headed

New Bill Dies
Aborning From
Horton's Veto
By Louis Kraar
Ham Horton stamped a presiden
tial veto yesterday on a bill de
signed to take the Student Council
out of politics.
The bill, passed last week by
Legislature, provided for nomina
tion of Student Council candidates
by a selection board instead of by
political parties. The board was
to be composed of various chairmen
of other courts plus two other mem
bers appointed by the president and
vice-president.
Horton said, "That the Student
Council should be taken 'out of
politics' is conceded by all." He add
ed, "However, in removing the
Council from politics we must be
certain that we do not create a
worse evil than the bill" corrects."
Horton stated two reasons for
the veto. Briefly, they were:
The bill involuntarily takes the
nomination of Student Council
members out of the hands of the
parties, instead of working by mu
tual agreement like the Bi-Partisan
Selections Board.
Independents do not have to ap
pear, before the board and are not
bound by the new law.
Proponents of the bill, the Stu
dent Party, said the bill was de
vised to "take our highest court
put of partisan politics." John Am
nions (SP) introduced the bill on
Jan. 15 and it was passed last
Thursday after little debate.
In stating his reasons Horton re
ferred to them as reasons "which
perhaps did not occur to the Legis
lature in passing it."
Horton's full statement was:
"The bill goes far beyond our
present Honor Council selection
system which has worked so well.
In the present system the parties
voluntarily give up some of their
sovereignty to a bi-partisan selec
tion board, which then, in their
name, t and in a completely non
partisan manner, selects candidates.
If this system fails to work, the
parties have the right to reassunle
their delegated sovereignty.
"These checks and balances, and

all the time, or would you rather have a more
fluid war, like in Europe the other war?" the
friend asked.
"I think the fluid war is really easiest on the
soldiers. It gives them something to think about
when they can move around the country. And
they feel like they're fighting for something. Then,
Europe's not as cold either."
"What's your biggest gripe?" the friend asked.
"The officers. Oh, the lieutenants aren't so
bad. " They have to take about as much as the
soldier does. , But above that, there aren't any of
them worth having around. Last summer when
it was dusty and as hot as the devil's own hell, I
used to see this captain jeeping it down the road
in his bathrobe, headed for the river. He could
take a swim or a cool shower twice a day, but
we had to stay in the area and choke from the
dust.
"And all the officers had a soldier to bring
them their chow and put it before them on a
tin plate. All the time they're dreaming up
things like front-line inspections twice a day.
Pretty rough life!"
"Well, suppose you had had a college degree
when you were drafted and maybe a chance at a
commission," the friend said. "Would you have
wanted to be an officer?"
"Hell no, buddy. Just let 'em draft you."
facts about Saturday classes ot the
students, he explained. The com
mittee is requesting students to
contact their trustees.
We are not doomed to the fate
of Saturday classes," declared Hor
ton. "We have reason to believe
from recent reports that work of
this commitee is effective," he
added.
Meanwhile, the Committee on
Instructional Personnel which was
ordered to study the best methods
of installing Saturday classes, re
ported that a semester system
would be best.
Horton indicated that this move
is definitely "a help" to the stu
dents who are against the six-day
week. He cited a 1948 report of
the Visiting Committee of the
Board of Trustees which said the
semester system would be im
practical for Carolina.
"Trustee answers sound encour
aging," Horton, said. "I feel that
our chances are much better."
The Board of Trustees meets
Feb. 23. The question of Satur
day classes is not on the agenda,
but it can be brought up at the
request of one Trustee.
A new angle turned up yester
day when it was pointed out by
a member of the Medical Depart
ment that pre-medical students
might have to attend Sn extra
half-year if the change is made.
