More than 3,400 students in
ROTC and Teachers College

ect Space Flight" to be held

This prediction was , made
by Col. V. B. AtwelL profes
sor of Air Science, who also
said the project would give
interested students a first
hand look at the actual cap
sule in which an astronaut
will soon cruise through
space.
The project will be pre
sented as a briefing by an
expert and a discussion by
some of those who built the
Atlas.
Sponsored jointly by the
University Air Force ROTC,
Teachers College staffs, the
Nebraska National Guard and
the State Department of Aero
nautics, the program will get
underway with the first gen
eral session at 3 p.m.
At 4 p.m. a speaker from
Convair Astronautics, con
tractor for the Atlas and the
sites to be built in Nebras
ka, will speak about the mis
sile complex planned in the
Lincoln-Omaha area.
The third session will begin
at 8 p.m. in the auditorium.
A top designer of McDonnell
Aircraft Corp., builders f the
astronaut's capsule will tell
&f !. Mrrarr 111 na
tional plan for space flight.
