CAPE CANAVERAL (UPII
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 Enjjuieoriiig College, about
20 miles down the coast, is
faculty made up of some of the
nations top scientists and engi
fleers.
The part-time Instructors lec
ture in classrooms filled with ded
icated students whose average
age is 30.
Most of the students and near'
ly all the faculty members ere
employed at missile and space I
technological centers at Cape Ca
naveral and Patrick Air Eorco
Base.
Sparked by space-race indus
tries which have grown up along
the coast near the cape, Brevard
is tlie first college in the United
States to offer a master of sci
ence degree, in space technology.
Vine-covered 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-track
ing situation. With the rwpid ad
vance in spaco science, seme of
the school s teachers must write
their own textbooks,

One of tho main differences be
tween match point duplicate and
rubber bridge is that a duplicate
player can tuko any sort of wild
gamble with the certain knowl
edge that all it wi cost mm is a
bottom score on one board while a
rubber bridge player might have
to mortgage the family home to
pay off his losses If ho tried any
thing of tills sort.
At duplicate, when East fol
lowed ills one spade response to
his partner's opening heart bid
with a Jump to four hearts South
decided that lio was being fixed.
In certain circles a psychic spade
response is used alter partner
opens with one heart and South
decided that East had made such
a bid. So South took a deep
breath end dived to a four-spade
contract. East doubled and now
South stood by his guns.
West opened the king of dia
monds and for some reason or
other East lot him hold the trick.
West shifted to a heart and South
went up with dummy's queen.
When this held only a couple
more things wcro necessary to
bring home the four-spade con
tract. South cashed dummy's ace of
spades and dropped West's
queen. A second spado was won
by East's king and East led his
singleton club.
South studied a whilo and rose
with tlie ace. When the king
dropped South cashed his Jack of
'spades, conceded one moro spade
trick and chalked up 700 points
and a thoroughly undeserved top

may be too young to have tra
ditions, it is sophisticated enough
to offer such lofty courses as
celestial mechanics, space medi
cine and a long list of subjects
in higher mathematics.
The college was established in
1958 by Dr. Jerome P. Keuper,
now its president, and a group of
scientists who worked with Keu
per for the Radio Corporation of
America Service Company.
Need More Education
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.
Of tlie school's 700 students,
Keuper said about 165 are grad
uate engineers working for mas
ter degrees. Tlie rest of the stu
dents are undergraduates, some
of whom are taking a few sDe-
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 haveiculty member, a clerk and a jan-
cost twice as much.
"What we need now is some
body who w. nts 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."
Keuper keeps a tight rein on
operation costs. He, a single ta
ilor are the only full-time em
ployes at the college.
Keuper said the school, so far,
has received no local, state or
federal aid, but he gave the im
pression he wouldn't turn it down
if it were offered.
Keuper said all of the major
companies near here working on
government missile contracts ap
prove of the college as a way for
their employes to progress in
their fields. Many of these com
panies make donations to the
school as well as pay the tuition
of their emloyes, he said.
Keuper, a 42-year-old native of
Newport, Ky., who holds a bach
elor of science degree in physics
from Massachusetts Institute ol
Technology and a master's degree
m physics from Stanford Lniver
sity, said he is in the education
field to stay.

my life to building the best space-

VERN OWENS' 13th
De Gaulle
May Take
Softer Tones
By riltt, NEWSOM
UPC Foreign News Analyst
Notes from the foreign news
cables:
De Gaulle Dilemma:
French President Charles de
Gaulle's next big press confer
ence is scheduled for July 30 end
is expected to reveal a softer tone
both toward Great Britain and the
United Stales. It was at a news
conference last January that De
Gaulle announced ins veto of Brit
ish membership in the European
Common Market, a move which
lias irritated his relations with his
Common Market partners ever
since. In last weeks visit to
Germany, Do Gaulle failed either
to reach accord with the Ger
mans on the British question or
on the question of ridding him
self of French farm surpluses.
Furthermore, lie is Hearing the
time when he must get along
with Ludwig Erhard, who is sched
uled to take over this fall as West
German chancellor. Therefore, it
is expected that his next news
conference will deal primarily
with a defense of the French
position internationally, and es
pecially on her relationship with
the Atlantic alliance.
No Hope:
Moscow dispatches now are re
ferring to tlie almost hopeless'
attempt to salvage anything from
Ihe once monolithic Communistic
bloc that stretched from the Paci
fic to tho Adriatic, In fact they
are saying that the exchange of
insiillsctwecn the Soviet Union
and Red China make it almost
impossible for the two Communist
giants to agree even on tlie sim
plest matters of normal diplo
matic protocol, Moscow observers
are predicting a complete Soviet
ideological, political and strategic
reorientation whlcn may have its
effect on tho trl - power nuclear
test talks to begin in Moscow
July 15. V. S. delegate Avcrell
Harriman is expected to arrive
in Moscow at the end of this
week for preliminary soundings
on what appears to be a reason
able chance to break the nuclear
deadlock and achieve at least a
partial test ban agreement.
Boisterous Youth:
For the last two weeks, rowdy
tactics of the minority Socialists
have kept the Japanese Diet in
an uproar. Opposed to them is a
cynical and faction - ridden ma
jority of Conservatives which can
ram bills through at any time it
wishes. Apologists for this sorry
slate point out that real parlia
mentary government in Japan is
only 11 years old. Before that, tlie
American occupiers and the em
peror, respectively, held the ulti
mate control. Moreover, the mi
nority Socialists have no chance
of winning power in the near
future, and this makes them irre-
spons ble. The expressed hope Is
that in the fullness of time these
factors will change and Japanese
democracy will thus mature and
grow stronger.
Unrest:
The Russians arc concerned
about desertions ol East German
border guards, according to re
poits reaching West Berlin police.
The Russians are said to believe
that tlie desertions may show un
reliability of the entire East Ger
man army.
