CAPE KENNEDY, Fla.-T- he
Molly Brown spacecraft bringing
astronauts Virgil I. Grissom and
John W. Young back from their
space flight made a parachute
landing this afternoon in the Atlantic.
The spacecraft landed some
60 to 65 miles north and west
of the main recovery ship, the
aircraft carrier Intrepid. Grissom
had reported earlier he expected
to come down 25 miles short of
his target.

had guided their spaceship into a
new orbital path and scored a
big first in the space race.
The mission control center at
Cape Kennedy called the successful maneuver, executed high over
Texas during the first of three
planned orbits, a "historic" one.
Grissom, 38, an Air Force major and the first man to rocket
twice into space, operated the
jets that put the capsule into a
nearly circular orbit rangingfrom
97 to 105 miles high.
A Titan 2 rocket had originally launched the craft, officially
called Gemini 3, into an orbit
with a high point of 140 miles
and a low of 100 miles.
Astronauts Grissom and Young
Ability to maneuver a spacecraft is essential before space rendezvous and flight onward to
the moon can be accomplished.

Rotation Policy Replaces
3 Department Chairmen
By WALTER GRANT

Associate News Editor
Three University department
chairmen will be replaced July 1
as a result of a policy which calls
for the rotation of administrative
leadership of academic departments.
The rotation policy this year
will affect Dr. Thomas D. Clark,
chairman of the history department, Dr. John Carpenter, head
of the zoology department, and
Dr. Herbert P. Riley, chairman
of the botanv department.
It was announced at Friday's
meeting of the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees
that the three chairmen will be
replaced.
The trustees appointed Prof.
Carl B. Cone as chairman of the
Department of History, Dr. Loren
Carlson was named chairman of
the zoology department, and Dr.
Richard A. Chapman was appointed to replace Dr. Riley as
head of the Department of Botany.
The trustees appointed Dr.
Carlson and Dr. Chapman to
terms. Dr. Cone's appointment was for an indefinite
period.
In announcing the change,
President Oswald explained that
the policy was established in
October, 1963, to allow for the
review and rotation of department chairmen.
"This policy has been gradually implemented with the continuing advice of the Faculty
Council," Dr. Oswald said.
one-ye-

ar

"The purpose of the policy

is thus to assure faculty members
that they will not ordinarily move
from their profession of teaching
and research for indefinite periods of administrative responsibil-

ity," Dr. Oswald continued.
President Oswald said the
practice of rotation will vary from
discipline to discipline depending upon differing planning, research, or service obligations.
The trustees announced that
Dr. Carlson also will continue
as chairman of the Department
of Physiology and Biophysics.
Prof. Chapman will continue as
chairman of the Department of
Plant Pathology.
Dr. Oswald said the three ree
tiring chairmen will return to
teaching and research. He
said each of the three had made
a "splendid contribution" in serving as a department chairman.
In other action, the trustees
reappointed Prof. Wesley P.
as chairman of the Department of Animal Science. Dr.
David K. Blythe was reappointed
chairman of the Department of
Civil Engineering.
Two department chairmen received
reappointments.
The two were reappointed pending completion of a study of the
overall academic and research
programs in Mechanical and
Chemical Engineering.
Receiving the reappointments
were Prof. W. M. Carter as chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Prof.
Samuel Hite as head of the chemical engineering department.

Midway through the second
orbit Grisson conducted another
space craft maneuver which will
be important to future rendezvous flights. He twisted the capsule around 90 degrees so it was
flying sideways and pointing
south.
Then he fired his forward jets
for 15 seconds to shoot the craft
onto an orbital path about one
and a half miles south of the original course. Then he quickly turned the space craft around 180 degrees and executed a number of
rapid jet firings to simulate action
which might have to be taken as
a spacecraft approaches a target
satellite on a rendezvous mission.

Cooperstown
Councilmen
Quit Posts
Five members of the Coopers-tow- n
Family Housing Council resigned last night in protest of
the University's conversion of
the apartments into single stu-- .
dent housing.
A group of about 40 residents
also voted to continue efforts to
reverse the decision and reject
an extension of the vacating date
granted by administration officials.
Mayor Fred Dellamura was
among the council members who
resigned.
Dellamura said he considered
the vote one of "no confidence"
and said he expected more vocal
future action.
The group presumably is seeking complete reversal of the decision.
Fourteen of the students attending the meeting voted in
favor of continued effort to reverse the decision.
Dellamura said he and other
resigning members would submit formal letters of resignation.
Also quitting the council were
Larry Buxton, Ken Wade, Bob
Black, and Ken Quire.
Dellamura said he would present the letter to residents tonight at a meeting to nominate
and elect new officers.

* The Voice Of The People?
In view of the deteriorating
American position in Sukarno's Indonesia, the University's program
in that country may, of necessity,
be eliminated.
We lament the demise of U.S.Indonesian relations in general, and
we particularly lament the fact
that the University's program there
may suffer as a consequence of
Sukarno's quiet and sometimes
revolution.
Indonesia is as many people
fail to realize the fifth largest nation in the world, and it constitutes
perhaps the cornerstone of Southeast Asia.
It is geographically a most important country, with a strategic
location, both economically and
militarily.
Politically its importance has
increased in the same proportion
as Sukarno's influence has grown,
so that now it ranks with or per
not-so-qui-

et

haps above Japan in this regard.
Considering all these factors,
then, the importance of any American program in Indonesia becomes
obvious.
However, regardless of the importance we attach to relations with
Indonesia, we also, recognize that
our presence there must rest on a
desire on the part of the Indonesians themselves to have us stay.
We must not risk further charges
of imperialism by imposing our
presence in the form of aid programswhere it is not desired. And
it has become all too evident that
we are not wanted in Indonesia
at least by the government and by
some student groups.
Four times in the past three
months Indonesian mobs have
stormed US IS offices in Djakarta,
Surabaya, and the Medan, smashing windows, tearing down American flags, and burning thousands
of books.
The residence of Ambassador
Howard Jones was invaded recently
by some 500 Moslem students, who
appeared on the scene in government trucks.
We have closed down our five
USIS libraries the first time this
has happened in 12 years of operation.
If the acts of violence reflect the
opinions of a majority of the people,
then it seems likely that the United
States will be forced to remove its
teams.
We sincerely hope that this will
not be the case.
