Spate En Nation's peering College Employs dentists For Faculty MAN AND SPACE By LEON DANIEL United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL lUP!) -You won't find any halls of icy 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's 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. Sparlfed 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. 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-tracking situation. With the rapid ad vance in space science, some of the school's teachers must write their own textbooks. While five year old Brevard may be too yoang to have tradi tions, it is sophisticated enough to offer such lofty courses as ce lestial mechanics, space medicine Girl Watching Sporf Not Challenging At Pageant By DICK WEST WASHINGTON (UPD - Unless you happen to enjoy looking at pretty girls in bathing suits, a Miss Universe news conference is rather a letdbwn. A group of the participants in this year's Miss Universe con test stopped off here for a visit en route to Miami Beach, where the .pageant will be staged later this month. ; They held a . press conference on the shores of a hotel swim ming pool, but it turned out to be more visual than oral. Either Iheir time was monopolized by photographers or they were un able to speak English. It was most disappointing be cause I had been looking forward to discussing the Common Main ket with Miss Belgium, obtaining Miss France's views of Gen. De Gaulle's "grand design." hearing Miss Italy's opinion of the new Pope, and so forth. 1 could, of course, have inter viewed Miss England, but only one tiling has been happening in Eng land recently and I was reluctant to bring that up. Fears Chaperonc Reaction I was afraid one of the chapel- ones might overhear us and get the wrong idea. So there was nothing much for a reporter to do but deposit him self on a chaise tongue and watch some 20 of the world's most beautiful young women parade around in powder blue swim suits. Pity. Beauty pageants continue to attract large crowds in this coun try, but actually they do not pro vide much of a challenge for a veteran girl-watcher. When a bird-watcher has a ven to gaze upon a great racket-tailed drongo or a rufous-browned pep per shrike, he does not go to an aviary. That would be considered unsporting. He goes into the parks or woods to seek out the birds in their natural habitats. Spotting a red whiskered bulbul is only fun for a bird-watcher when it is accom panied by a case of poison ivy. It is much the same with girl watching. Organized displays o! feminine pulchritude take a great deal of the pleasure out of this ancient pastime by removing the element of chance. Spotting a pretty girl at a beau ty contest simply, is no accom plishment at all. Some of the best girl-watching grounds in the world can be found in Washington. Among the more favorable locations is the cafeter ia in the House Office Building during the lunch hour. 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 Kuuper 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 lield. '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 the school's 7(10 students, Keuper said ab.qut 165 are grad uate engineers working for mas ter degree's. 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 decree. Keuper takes great pride in his ability to stretch his education dollars, which he spends a good part of his time soliciting from j private sources. . ... we built tins building we re in, now for $7 a square foot," he said proudly, adding that other school building 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 wc could build it for $60,000.

House Democratic Leader Carl Albert,' Okla., said there still was "an imprcssiTc array" of legisla tion, including civil rights and tax measures, which awaits ac tion. He said he expected mem bers to remain in session until they were passed. With half tlie. year already past, most major items still are on tlie agenda. Most lawmakers had been predicting the end of the session would come in laic Octo ber or November. This week, floor schedules in the House and Senate again wi be light. President Kennedy's two major requests - civil rights and tax cut and reforms still are being studied by committees. With long, hard battles expect ed on thete two measures, much other legislation is quietly being postponed until next year. DOWNTOWN OFFfCE SPACE Inquire At GUN STORE 714 Main DIB SONNY BMW DIST.
