Winter A Headache For Maintenance
While only five pounds of pressure is necessary to heat most campus buildings, 10 to 12 pounds is usually carried to make sure the outlying buildings get sufficient heat. Yesterday there was a strong wind and that, together with the extreme cold, made it necessary to carry about 18 pounds of pressure.
Sub-zero temperatures also make the heating of some of the older buildings on the campus difficult, but the biggest factor in heating difficulties is probably wind, Mr. Bayles said.

Report US Is Considering Halt In Korea
Washington — (U.P.) — The United States would consider halting at the 38th parallel on previous United Nations' terms if Red China and North Korea, now smarting under defeats, agree to a truce.
Officials said the present plan to avoid, if possible, another stab by UN forces into North Korea, was based on the "hard facts" that new threats of Communist expansion were mounting in the Far East and Europe. Danger spots included Formosa, Indo-China, Yugoslavia and Western Germany.
There was a strong possibility that the United State would oppose crossing of the 38th parallel by ground forces if the lost ground to the south can be reconquered and the north cannot refuse peace terms. A defense line then might be set up to await a change of heart by the Reds.
One informant said the joint chiefs of staff had issued instructions for the recapture of Seoul and all ground up to the 33th parallel if possible, and then establish a defense line.
Strategists hoped Chinese Communists and their Korean partners might have become more interested now in a cease-fire. UN advances northward, punishing air strikes, a typhus epidemic among the Red troops and frostbite casualties should influence Red diplomacy, they said.
At the same time, the administration will continue its policy of keeping formosa is isolated from the Chinese Communists. Officials said the U.S. would try to persuade Generalisim Chiang Kai-Shek not to attempt an invasion of the mainland and American aircraft and ships would be used to stop a Red China assault on Chiang's stronghold.
