...disrepute, mainly because neither students nor faculty take warmly to books during the hot sticky summers. Lack of summer enrollment was blamed largely for the University of Pittsburgh's financial crisis, and professorial discontent with the summer work led to abandonment of the trimester by the state university sys tem in Florida. Yet this week some 800 students perspiring over final examinations at Wisconsin's Beloit Col lege testify to the fact that the trimester can live up to its early promises...
...which DuBay puts forward a program of reform that makes the ideas of Luther seem positively papalist by comparison. Among other proposals, DuBay suggests that bishops be elected for limited terms, that their statements must represent a consensus of the faith ful, and that the parochial school sys tem should be abandoned in favor of informal programs to teach Catholics the principles of Christian action.

Centaur soared into an orbit that was so exact that had Surveyor carried the proper equipment, it could have made a slight mid-course correction and been on its way to the moon...
...spacecraft's electronic nervous sys tem took over and issued commands of its own, starting a one-hour warmup period. It turned off instruments and turned on guidance gyros. It swung the directional radio antenna aside to get it out of the blast of the mid-course rocket motor. At the end of the warmup, Mariner II was ready for the crucial maneuver of its long voyage.

Like Wet Hay. McClure's bubble-breathing experience was part of an experiment by the Boeing Airplane Co. in Seattle, which is seeking an oxygen sys| tem that will support human space travelers. Using live algae to recycle the precious oxygen in spaceships is a venerable idea, but it is far easier to accomplish in fiction than in fact. Many space-minded companies have added algologists to their staffs, but Boeing believes it is the first to keep a man alive for a full day on algal oxygen. The original air in McClure's tank would have become...
