Manned spacecraft called 4 nonesense’ WASHINGTON UP) —Two of -President Nixon’s space advisers declared Tuesday it would be “absolute nonsense” for the na- ftion to continue to finance manned space flight. They joined three senators— two Democrats and one Republi can—in calling for deletion of $122 million in design money for a proposed space shuttle station from a pending appropriation bill. They urged revision of the na tion’s space plans to emphasize J unmanned, instrumented explo ration of outer space, a step they insisted would reap a far greater scientific harvest. “The manned space program, | it seems to me, has had its day,” Coeds to help with bonfire | University Women will hold their monthly meeting Oct. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the social room of the Memorial Student Center, says Julie McCall, publicity chair man. The meeting will include dis cussion of women’s activities for the bonfire. “Anyone interested in signing up to help with the bonfire should come to this meet ing to sign up,” said Miss McCall. In the past University Women have served coffee and doughnuts to workers and have helped in the first aid stations. Also on the agenda will be | discussion of the writing of a new constitution. The first constitu tion was written when there were fewer than 500 coeds on campus. With more than 1500 women stu dents, the constitution will be updated to keep up with the change. Nancy Evans is chairman of the Constitution Committee. Coeds are invited to join this com mittee. University Wormen is also active in the Women’s Recruit ment Program sponsored jointly with the Civilian Student Coun cil. Judy McConnell is the UW representative to this committee. “Coeds are also reminded that Freshman Handbooks are still available in the office of Mrs. Patricia Self, women’s counselor, Academic Building, Room 103,” said Miss McCall. Also, a suggestion box for any opinions concerning activities of women on campus is located in the Student Programs Office in the MSC.

FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED said Dr. Thomas Gold, chairman of the space science panel of the President’s Science Advisory Committee. Dr. James A. Van Allen, dis coverer of the Van Allen Radia tion belts in space, added: “I am totally unpersuaded that men in spacecraft are important or even useful in any way that is commensurate with the effort required to maintain them there. “In fact,” Van Allen said, “their presence degrades almost all of the objectives in space that I consider important. And I hold this view despite the fact that I am a devoted admirer of the astronauts at the level of per sonal courage and professional competence.” The two scientists commented at a news conference held as Senate opponents of the current space program launched a new effort to trim back spending for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
