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. Wc already
have the books."

On Agenda
In Congress
WASHINGTON (UPD - Con
gress returned today from a
week-long Fourth of July holiday
as a Democratic leader predicted
members would stay in session
until the end of the year.
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.
