HATCHER
staff Pay
To Go On
In Crisis
By ROBERT JUNKER
University President Harlan
Hatcher told the faculty yesterday
they will continue to be paid, even
with the current threat of payless
paydays.
"I don't think the State will
permit you to go without any pay,"
he told faculty members and their
wives at a special meeting.
"I regret the publicity which the
financial crisis has brought to the
State," he added, terming some of
it unfair. He saidrother educa-
,tional institutions are aware of
this crisis and are trying to ob-
tain University faculty members.
He urged the faculty to stick
with the University which is
weathering a temporarycrisis.
"The overall ongoing aspects of
the University provide you with
attainment in your fields as good
as any other university I know
of," President Hatcher told his
staff. ;.
He told the approximately 1,000
people attending the "State of the
University" talk that the Univer-
sity has pared down its predicted
enrollment for next year which
would remain "approximately the
same as last fall." This he pro-
jected in view of the apparent cut
in the University's proposed bud-
get.
The University requested, $36,-
788,270 for operations next year,

A long-range plan to build a $1 to $1.5 million laboratory for ship
design research is currently being drafted by the naval architecture
and marine engineering department.
Techbically called a naval tank, the installation will probably
be constructed on the University's North Campus.

PowerP
To Be Built
PARIS (M)-Europe took another
step into the atomic age yesterday
with a decision by 12 nations to
build a radically new type nuclear
power plant.
It will be a 38 million dollar ex-
periment, with Britain paying the
biggest share of the cost.
Scientists hope the plant will
produce electrical power at a cost
in line with hydroelectric and
steam stations.
Electrical energy produced at
nuclear power plants in operation
in Britain and the United States
costs more than electricity pro,-
duced by conventional means.
The experimental plant, to be
built at Winfrith Heath, England,
will have a gas-cooled reactor de-
signed to operate at temperatures
above 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.

High Court Puts Contracts
Under Federal Regulation,
WASHINGTON W - The Supreme Court, dividing 5-4, yester-
day put variable annuity contracts under Federal regulataion.
The Federal Securities and Exchange Commission, rather than
state insurance authorities, now will have a primary role in super-
vising these contracts.
Contracts Cause Controversy

.controversy in recent years. Under them, payments to annuitants
are based in large measures onl

hands off the anti-Communist re-
volt in Tibet and that fighting be-

mobs apparently has died down in

His statement apparently de-
molished one of the last hopes of

nation, toldreporters at Darjeel-

India and the free world will act." p
To Petition Nehru
Representatives of Tibetan re-
fugees met at Kalimpong, also on
the border, and decided to seek to
send a delegation to Prime Minis-
ter Nehru to ask him to use his
moral influence with Red China to
stop fighting.
Prime Minister Nehru said,
however, that "this is a difficult
and delicate situation and We
should avoid doing anything which
will worsen it. We have no inten-
tion of interfering in the internal
affairs of China, with whom we
have friendly relations."
India always has had close
trade, cultural and religious rela-
tions with Tibet, but since a Red
Chinese army seized Tibet in 1950
Prime Minister Nehru has gone
to lengths to avoid offending the
Peiping government.
Revolt Reported Earlier
At the same time, the genera!
opinion herewas that a Tibetan
appeal to the United Nations
would have ;no effect, since Red

in 1950 without results.

Prime Minister Nehru, in his
statement yesterday, gave one of
the few official accounts of revolt,
however. He said a battle between
the Red Chinese and a Tibetan
mob in Lhasa broke out last Fri-
day near the Indian consulate as
a result of rumors that the Chinese
were planning to kidnap the Dala
Lama, who is considered a rein-
carnation of Buddha,
In the shooting, the consulate
was hit by about 60 bullets, Indian
government sources said, but none
of the staff of about 30 was hurt.
Prime, Minister Nehru said a
crowd had visited the consulate
about two weeks ago as a result
of the rumors concerning the
safety of the 25-year-old Lama,
and another group of Tibetan
women had asked the consul, to
present demands to the Red Chi-
nese authorities.
