...hoped that the self-righteous members of the cadet honor committee will, as officers, maintain the same rigid standards for themselves-an honor system that has some meaning in their military careers.

...pictures ranged from those of the astronauts engaged in everyday activities inside their cavernous spacecraft -showering, eating and undergoing medical tests in zero-G -to dramatic exterior views of Skylab itself. One particularly stunning photograph, taken from the Apollo command ship after the astronauts left Skylab, shows the 80-ton space station circling the cloud-covered earth.

When the heat was rerun the Crimson failed to stay close as both Huskies crews--Northeastern and Washington--advanced to the finals. Northeastern also had a winner in the finals of the fours-with...
