ing to Dr. Alfred K
ology.

despite its light weigh__
The University meteorologist
said that because of the satellite's
height it would probably stay up
longer than either the Russian's
Sputnik
The Explorer's height is
about 1800 milei at its apagee
(farthest point in orbit from The
earth) compared to -1080 miles
of Sputnik 11, Blackadar said.
The - U.S. satellite's perigee
(closest point of orbit to earth)
is 180 miles compared to the
"Mutnik's" 130 milks.
Sputnik U. will be visible over
the State College area at 6:38
a.m. Saturday, according to
Smith sonian Institute calcula
tions.
Blackadar explained that the
bulge of the equator outward
causes the satellite orbit to move
westward. When it , was first
launched, he said, ther first Sput
nik was not visible over Russia
because it was traveling along the
twilight zone and the sky was too
light.
However, as the orbit shifted
westward, people all over the
world were able to see the sat
ellite. It was visible since it is
elevated far above the earth
and is in The sunlight. Sputnik
Irs orbit took about three
months to rotate around the
earth.
Blackadar said meteorologists
soon hope to use the satellites to
obtain information on distribu
tion of clouds around the earth.
By mounting light-sensitive photo
cells on the satellites, cyclone and
huricane systems could be spot
ted, Blackadar said.
Schwab Uses
Dossal, Cross
A dossal and cross adorned the
worship setting in Schwab Audi
torium for the first time Sun

vice.
This addition was conceived in
an attempt to further enhance

versity chapel services, according
to the Rev. Luther it 'Harsh
barger, University chaplain.
The dossal and the cross were
designed by Sybil D. Emerson,
professor emeritus of art educa
tion, who also designed the dorsal

D. Zong of Boalsburg.

Because engineering is a profession at GM
-we offer you a career-not a job
ONE REASON engineering standards at
General Motors are so high is that GM
recognizes engineering as a profession. And
the men who engineer the many different
products made by General Motors are
respected for the profession they practice.
That is why, when you are invited to join
General Motors as an engineer, •you don't
simply take a job—you start a career.
It is a career that is rewarding both profes•
sionally and financially—starting on your first
day of association with General Motors at any
one of its 35 divisions and 126 - plants in 70
cities and 19 states.
During your early days at GM, for example,
you work with a senior engineer who guides
your career along professional lines.
You are also actively encouraged to pursue
your education towards an advanced degree.
For we at General Motors recognize that, in
doing so, you will become more valuable to
us and the engineering profession.
lint are given the opportunity to obtain pro
fessional recognition through participation
in engineering society fortuns, presentation
of technical papers, winning of patents and
other recognition of your accomplishments.
And you are also encouraged to take an active
role in your community's affairs—becTalse a
truly professional man is a good citizen as
well as a good engineer.
from outside he ends up in a
world without images. He has
inherited everything but has
lost his home in the universe."
Modern man's knowledge is
power. he said. "but cosmic
power needs cosmic control"
and - Man's knowledge, cut off
from God is obtained at the
price of eternal helplessness.'
He can produce all he needs for
living except a reason.
An this is for a reason—and a good one.
' Many of the men who will fill the key posi
tions at GM in the future are the young engi
neers joining GM today. This is not theory,
it is fact. For 14 of our 33 Vice-Presidents are
engineers, 23 of our 42 Division General Man
agers are engineers, too.
Today we are looking for young engineers—
such as you—who may fill these positions
tomorrow. The rewards—both professional
and financial—are substantial. If you feel you
have the ability, write us. It could be the most
important letter of your life.
