US Warships Steam
Toward Tachen Island
rAlFEH. Formosa (APi —
Three U. S. carriers and other
warships Sunday steamed to
ward the invasion-menaced Ta
chens to await orders to cover
the evacuation of the garrison in
a deal by which the United
States would help to defend some
offshore islands, a reliable source
said.
The informant said the U. S.
warships were ready for action
in the event the Communists try
to interfere.
Peiping radio heard in Tokyo
cold-shouldered any plan for a
United Nations cease-fire, de
claring it was U.S. “plot" to "in
terfere in the domestic affairs of
China."
Had it not been for the U.S.
7th F'leet, which guards For
mosa "would have been liberated
years ago,” said Peiping, quot
ing People's Daily, official news
paper of the Chinese Communist
Party.
The perilous nature of the
waters into which the warships
were reported moving was un
derscored by these two latest
flareups: »
1. An air battle broke out south
of the Tachens, which are 200
miles north of Formosa, when
the Chinese Communists inter
cepted a flight of four National
ist planes. No damage to either
side was reported.
2. The Defense Ministry said
Nationalist artillery broke up an
attempt by a small Red force of
more than 10 junks to invade one
of the islands near the Matsu
Island group 100 miles north
west'of Formosa.
Matsu and Quemoy, across the
strait from Formosa, would be
brought under the 7th Fleet's
protection as part of the deal,
informants said.
Informed sources said the Na
tionalist withdrawal from the
Tachens was contingent upon
President Eisenhower setting a
final seal to the plan for re
grouping Nationalist forces and
President Chiang Kai-Shek is
suing orders to the Taehen gar
! rleon to withdraw. The Fleet
hitherto has been assigned only
to protect Formosa and the near
by Pescadores.

director of admissions and coun
seling.
In interviews Friday, all three
men expressed the idea of adding
extra personnel to the registra
tion staff, thereby making the
checking procedure faster and
the lines shorter.
A discussion of the prelimin
ary registration program used in
1948 through 1953 was held by
the ASUO senate at its last
meeting. Constance, Carlson and
DuShane presented the prom
lems and complexities of the old
system and of the one the Uni
versity is now using.
“The members of the senate
had a very good understanding
and acceptance of the technicali
ties and problems of registration
procedures,’’ said Constance.
Process Explained
The old method of preliminary
registration consisted of a pe
riod before the end of the term
when students could complete
almost all the steps of registra
tion for the next term in their
spare time.
Three main problems were evi
dent in this method: (1) students
who were unable to complete
registration before the next term
had to return their IBM cards
so that they would remain in ■
good condition. When the stu
dents returned for the following
term it was necessary to stand
in line to get the cards back.
This process of filing and dis
tributing the cards also pro
duced an extra degree of work
for the office staffs;
