    Scientist Hopes For

average man can under
stand," he added.
Levitt noted that his col
umn, distributed by General
Features Syndicate, goes to
some 80 newspapers in t h e
United States and numerous
foreign press outlets. "As
long as I can help the people
understand better what prob
leras 'e are facing in con
quering space," he indicated,
'I feel my writing, like Dr.
von Braun's television series,
is beneficial."
The ion power question,
asked of the scientist by a
student, revolved around the
problem of the most econom
ical fuel available for outer
space. Levitt indicated that
the United States is still
looking for the fuel which will
highly sophisticate space
travel.
A technical breakthrough is
what the I'nted States needs
to put a human into space and
onto the moon. "We hope that
a human will go to the moon
by 2000 A.D.," he said, "but
a technical breakthrough In
fuel might advance that date
to 1975.'

About the unfavorable pub

Philadclphian noted.
Russian Failures
He explained that the Rus
sian failures were never pub
hcized before they got a
Sputnik into orbit. "Therejthe first three places in both
were about 17 failures before
the success of the first Sput
nik," Levitt said. He indicat
ed that the American free
press publicizes both our suc
cesses and failures while the
Russian press, shackled as it
is, publishes just what looks
good for the Soviets.
"In many ways, the free
press hampers the pure sci
ence of space engineering,"
Levitt stated. "But the very
public nature of launching any
rocket gives the people a right
to know what is happening."
The Fels Planeterium han-
dies an educational program
for the Philadelphia schools
and teaches close to 4000.000 j
fnrffnt ahnut snare science i
each year.
"Next year our ' program
will be enlarged so that we
make contact with close to
500.000 students." Levitt said.
His one-day visit to Lincoln
included making a recording
for the University's Public
Relations office. Levitt left
Lincoln by plane Thursday
afternoon and was to stay
in Chicago last evening. He
will return to Philadelphia today.

'All-New KNUS' Pi eens
Campus Kariio Invents, Manager Says
By Herb Probasci
Staff; Writer
The present campus radio
station at. the University con
cludes its 9th season on the
air this spring as Ihe "All
Xew KXUS" celebrates na
tional radio-television week
boasting a full staff of 20, a
library of over 250 albums
and single records and a
bright outlook towards its fu
ture. Chief announcer Steve
Brown, as proud of the sta
tion as a father is of his new
born, states that KNUS is "as
sham a radio operation as
any in the midwest," and has
been cited by professional ra
dio executives as "comparing
favorably with and surpass
ing many commercial sta
tions." , .
Inventing, Not Copying
Much of the station's suc
cess has come about this
year, and Brown attributes a
great deal of the improvement
in the operation to new per
sonnel and new ideas. "We
are inventing instead of copy
ing new program ideas," he
states.
The personnel of KNUS Is
composed entirely of Univer
sity students, many of whom
Hill Praises
IFC Action
"Fraternities are wearing a
wliite cloak and they must
keep it spotless." Arthur Hill

banquet last night.
Hill, a Nebraska alum and
member of Sigma Alpha 'Mu
commended the IFC on their
action concerning the pledg
ing of men in the lower one
fourth of their high school
class.
"You men get what you
give". Hill. said. "The con
tacts you make now will al
ways be an asset which can
not be measured in dollars
and cents."
Dick Andrews walked off
with the IFC high senior scho
larship award, a gold watch.
His average Is 8.232.
Art Weaver was second with
a 8.133 and George Eagleton
third with 7.901.
"Scholarship is our primary
purpose and these men exem
plify our goals." Gary Cad
wallader, president of the IFC
remarked in presenting the
awards.
The banquet was attended
by members of the board of
regents, past and present
house presidents, alumni ad
visors, and officers of the
junior IFC.
