According to Norman F. Ramsey, professor of Physics and coordinator of the project here, one of the reasons for the delay is the decision by the planners to do a "great deal of work at once, rather than beginning in bits and pieces." The contracts, he said, are at present making the rounds of the AEC in Washington...
...first issue is expected to appear late this spring, according to the project's innovators, Eric Martin '58 and Richard D. Baker '58. Both are architectural science majors...

...loan project has attracted attention in other states. In New York, a bill to establish a "higher education assistance corporation" has administration approval. Groups in Maine, Rhode Island and Connecticut have expressed interest in seeking similar legislation in these states...
...project centers around the old problem of reentry, i.e., how to keep a space vehicle (or missile) from burning up due to friction when it hits the relatively dense atmosphere of the earth at 20,000 m.p.h. To study this friction in the laboratory, Dr. Gabriel M. Giannini, a close friend of the late Atomic Physicist Enrico Fermi, is building a device called a "plasma jet." A stream of inert gas such as argon is passed through a high intensity electric discharge. The resulting heat forces a jet of highly ionized gas out a small hole at enormous speed...
