The Bulletin, Monday, July 8, 1963 No halls of ivy at nation's only space engineering college By Lion Daniel UPI Staff Writer CAPE CANAVERAL (UPI) -You won't find any halls of ivy at the nation's only space engi neering college. But what you will find at Bre vard Engineering College, about 20 miles down the coast, is a fac ulty made up of some of the na tion'! top scientists and engi neers. The part-time instructors lec ture in classrooms filled with dedicated students whose average age is 30. Space Age Students Most of the students and near ly all the faculty members are employed at missile and space technological centers at Cape Ca naveral and Patrick Air Force Base. Sparked by space-race indus tries which have grown up along the coast near the cape, Brevard is the first college in the United States to offer a master of sci ence degree in space technology. Vlne-cos-ered walls would seem out of place at Brevard, where theories chalked on a blackboard may be used the next day in dealing with a real missile-tracking situation. With the rapid ad vance in space science, some of the school's teachers must write their own textbooks. Lefty Courses While five year old Brevard may be too young to have tradi tions, it is sophisticated enough to offer such lofty courses as ce lestial mechanics, space medicine Congress 'working hard,1 needs numerous recesse: By Dick West UPI Steff Writer WASHINGTON (UPI) Con gress is now at the end of its Fourth of July recess, which tra ditionally follows its Memorial Day recess, its Easter Recess, Its Lincoln Day recess and its Jefferson-Jackson Day recess. There was a time when the Fourth of July recess would have been the last recess before ad journment, but the way things are going this year it appears that Congress may have occasion to take a Labor Day recess, a Thanksgiving recess and a Christmas recess. It is still too early, however, to forecast a New Year's recess. AU of tills recessing has cre ated the impression in some places roughly in an area bounded by the Atlantic and Pa cific oceans and the Canadian and Mexican borders that Con gress has been dawdling. Shows Blinding Speed That is not precisely the case, however. On occasions, Congress has moved at blinding speed. Just the other day, for in stance, the House of Representa tives passed a bill so fast it al most broke the sound barrier. The bill authorizes each mem ber of the House to take two ad tional trips back home each year at taxpayer expense. It was called up and approved without a word of debate or ex planation. Some observers in the cham ber, including a few reporters, weren't even aware that the House had acted on the bill until they saw it listed in the Congres sional Record the next day. In fact, I have heard it sug gested that House leaders intend ed for the action to go unnoticed, if possible. But I certainly wouldn't suggest such a thing. Counteracts Advene Feeling I am convinced that they were merely trying to counteract Hie widespread feeling that the con gressional approach to legislation this session has been somewhat lackadaisical. After all, the need for con gressmen to have two more free Car sfrikes deer, rolls into ditch Three persons apparently es caped serious injury this morn ing about 9:20 a.m. today when a deer leaped across U.S. High way 20 about 20 miles west of Sis ters. The driver of the car, Flora Jean Standley, 23, Sisters, did not see the deer until her car struck it. The hood of the car flew up. and the driver lost control. The car rolled into the roadside ditch, at the north side of the highway. Other occupants of the car were Barbara Cannon and Lan ette Larson, Sisters girls, who were taken to a hospital in a pass ing car, for a checkup. The driver was not injured. CHANCES IN UKRAINE MOSCOW (UPI) Vladimir Shcherbitsky has been removed as premier of the Ukraine and iriven the fob of regional Commu nist party secretary in the Dnep- roDretrovskv region, u was uia- rlnsed Sunday. The Ukrainian Republic's party chief. Nikolai Podgorny, was re leased from his post last month but became one of the 14 secre taries of the Sovi.t lommuiust and a long list of subjects in higher mathematics. The college was established in 1958 by Dr. Jerome P. Keuper (pronounced Cooper), now its president, and a group of scien tists who worked with Keuper for the Radio Corporation of Ameri ca Service Company. Keuper said they started the college because they saw the need for still higher education for the well-educated people in the space field. "We learned that many schol ars and other space experts hesi tated to come to Cape Canaveral because they could not continue their studies here," Keuper said. 700 Students Of the school's 700 students, Keuper said about 165 are grad uate engineers working for mas ter degrees. The rest of the stu dents are undergraduates, some of whom are taking a few spe cial courses and others who are working toward a bachelor of sci ence degree. Keuper takes great pride in his ability to stretch his education dollars, which he spends a good part of his time soliciting from private sources. "We built this building we're in now for $7 a square foot," he said proudly, adding that other school buildings in the area would have cost twice as much. "What we need now is some body who wants to have his name on a new library building," Keu per said. "I believe we could build it for $60,000. We already have the books." trips home is clearly evident. There isn't much point in stay ing in Washington during re cesses. Nor is this the only evidence that Congress has been doing more this year than might be visible to the naked eye. A resu me of the first six months of the session shows that our lawgivers have introduced a total of 10,629 bills and resolutions, which is nothing to sneeze at. A sneeze might stir up the dust that most of the measures have been gathering in committee pig eonholes. Besides that, they have an swered 81 quorum calls and filled 11,538 pages of the Congressional Record at $90 a page. As this shows, Congress has been humming. I think it is un kind to say they ought to stop humming and get to work. JFK bestows honor on 25 Everest toppers WASHINGTON (UPI) - Presi dent Kennedy today presented the National Geographic Society's fa mous Hubbard Medal for explora tion to members of an American expedition that conquered Mt. Ev erest. Eighteen Americans, a retired British army officer, a Nepal army officer and five Sherpa guides were honored at a White House rose garden ceremony. Norman G. Dyhrcnfurth, leader of-the expedition which ascended the highest mountain in the world, received the gold medal for the group. The Hubbard Medal, named for the society's first president, Gard iner Greene Hubbard, was present ed first in 1906 to Adm. Robert E. Perry for his arctic explorations. Its most recent previous recipient s astronaut John H. Glenn, first American to orbit the earth. The five Sherpas, led by Shri Nawang Gombu w ho accompanied James W. Whittaker to Everest's summit, represented 37 of the high-altitude climbers employed by the expedition. Replicas of the medal went to all members of the expedition and to the Sherpas. The expedition sent three two man teams to the summit of Ev erest and pioneered a new route to the peak via the West Ridge between May 1 and May 26. Ohio editor dies COLUMBUS, Ohio (UPI) Karl B. Pauly, 63, editor of the Co lumbus Dispatch editorial page since 1959, died Sunday in Uni versity Hospital of leukemia. Left Your Luggage?

Many conflicting opinions on questions concerning education By David Nydick UPI Staff Writer To parents there probably seems to be two or more con flicting opinions concerning ques tions on education. And they may wonder whether this indicates confusion among educators and researchers. Unfortunately in some cases this is true. Perhaps it is not ac tual confusion but surely there is a need for more conclusions British Guiana general strike finally ends GEORGETOWN, British Guiana (UPI) Workers were scheduled to return to their jobs today un der the terms of a compromise ending the violent general strike that paralyzed this British colony for 77 days. Fresh violence broke out Sun day in the sugar and rice plan tation district of Corentyne, even as Marxist Premier Cheddi Jagan and the Trades Union Council (TUC) arrived at their standoff settlement in the capital. British troops opened fire on an unruly crowd in rural Berbice County, killing two men. Two others were reported injured in the incident, but details were not available immediately. Thirty-seven men were charged with murder Sunday in connec tion with five previous deaths re sulting from the general strike and the fighting it generated be tween Negroes and East Indians. The strike cost the country more than $40 million. The TUC had vowed to continue the strike until Jagan fell from power but apparently relented through the mediation of Robert Willis, British trade union leader dispatched from London to handle the crisis. Jagan was reported to have yielded to a key union demand and agreed not to reintroduce be fore the legislature the labor bill which touched off the strike. The bill would have given the government control over recogni tion of all collective bargaining agencies. The government also agreed to grant a loan equivalent to two weeks pay to all workers, to be paid back within six months. The TUC backed down on its demand that all strikebreakers be fired and full pay granted to strikers for the entire strike period. July showers dampen region Summer showers, heavy in var ious areas, dampened most of Cen tral Oregon over the weekend, and forecasts indicate more are in prospect for the five-day period. Bend measured 0.16 of an inch of moisture in a short, but heavy shower Sunday evening. Deschutes forest field men reported scattered showers over the district. There was some light ning, but no fires were reported. CHET MYERS Agency Mgr. based on good research. It is dif ficult to arrive at answers which apply to everyone when you are dealing with human behavior. Each individual and his envir onment is different. Judgments which are important factors In ed ucation naturally vary. These many prohlems of education are important for you to understand. However, your first concern is and should be the effects upon your child. The area of reading seems to be a good example for discus sion. Some schools emphasize a phonics program (the sounds of letters and their combinations). Other schools emphasize the look- say method (learning the entire word). The majority of children learn to read quite adequately with ci ther approach. Those who are having difficulty probably have some specific problem which is interfering with their learning. What does this mean? Actually both methods achieve success. It is a matter of judgment to choose one in favor of the other. Each group probably will defend their approach as the proper answer. Thus you have a difference of opinion. Research does not give the ans wer so that at this time we must assume that there are several ways to do the job properly. The one used probably should depend upon such factors as the training of the teachers and the local re suits obtained with the students. This type of controversy also exists In math, language, school organization (team teaching, de partmentalization, etc.), social studies, and many other areas in volved in education. Your first interest as a parent should be to make sure that your child is learning. If he is having difficulty, find out why. There arc many causes for problems. They may be psychological, physical, or neurological. Don't assume that the school or its program is to blame. This won't help your child. Any basic program change will probably take too long to be of value to your child. On the other hand, dont think that there are controversies in every area. There is a good deal of research which indicates what should be done in education. You should seek reasons for particular actions. The most important factor to remember in all of these contro versies is how your child can benefit. He will probably succeed in any program where the teach ers and facilities are of a high quality. After helping your child you should then be concerned with the total picture of school im provement. This is everybody's job. Constructive parents are the basis for good schools which arc in turn the basis for the success of our democratic society.

Racial violence flares in New York, Baltimore By United Press International Racial violence flared Sunday in New York City and Baltimore where angry Negroes and whites tangled in bareknuckle brawls. New integration moves were planned today across the nation. Police described the situation at a Bronx white teen-age diner hang out Sunday night as "high ly explosive and set up barri cades to prevent a full-scale riot. The barricades were erected after two attempts by young whites to break up a picket line at the diner where about 60 whites and Negroes paraded with signs protesting alleged discrim inatory hiring practices. In Baltimore, more than 100 in tegral ionists who tried to force their way past park owners and police into the Gwynne Oak Amusement Park met with vio lence. At least 95 demonstrators, including 13 clergymen, and six white hecklers were arrested. One Negro woman was punched in the face. Plan Hotel Picketing Omaha Negroes planned a pro test demonstration today in the downtown section around the en trances of the Sheraton-Fonten-elle Hotel. The demonstration ap parently was planned to coincide with the first meeting of a bi racial committee to discuss civil rights remedies in city govern ment, the mayor's office, the school system, banks, insurance firms, railroads and other busi nesses which integration leaders said were almost entirely segre gated. A group of young Negroes was scheduled to meet with city offi cials of La Porte, Ind., today to discuss complaints of alleged ra cial discrimination in restaurants and taverns. The stage was set for the meeting after a weekend of "testing" facilities in eating and drinking establishments in the city. Mora Unrest There was more racial unrest in other parts of the nation: 1 escape from Josephine jail GRANTS PASS (UPI) Two men escaped from the Josephine County Jail early today by re moving a two-foot square section of the concrete cell floor and tun nelling seven feet under a side walk. Authorities identified the men as Wesley Earl Sanford, 30, Grants Pass, and Kenneth Barr, 20. Santa Ana. Calif. Sanford, released from the Ore gon State Penitentiary earlier this year, was wanted on a Durgiary charge in Kings County, Cam. Barr had been returned to the jail July 2 as an alleged probation viollalor after a burglary convic tion. Josephine County authorities said the pair were placed in (lie cell Saturday morning. They ap parently used a large spoon and some steel mirrors to dig the tun nel. The earth was put in a card board box. Their disappearance was dis covered about 5 a.m. A car stolon nearby later was recovered in an other section of town, but a pick up truck has been reported stolen in the latter area. The men are thought to bo heading for Cali fornia, police said. Use Bulletin Classifieds for any thing you might need or want. Call 382-1B11 for a friendly ad taker.
