U.S. Sets Into Orbit
Ist Weather Satellite
WASHINGTON (!P)—The United States yesterday fired
into a more than 400-mile-high orbit the world's first known
weather observing satellite.
Scientists indicated it radioed back a televised picture of
a storm in the American Midwest.
The camera-equipped satellite, named Tiros I, may be
the forerunner of a network of
robot space stations designed to
flash almost instantaneous reports
of weather conditions around the
globe
The Soviet Union is known '
to be interested in using satel
lites for long-range weather
forecasting, but there has been
no sign they have atempied to
put anything like the Tiros into
orbit.
The 270-pound Tiros, appearing
much like an overize hatbox,
rode into the skies from Cape

Within a few hours, scientists
at the National Aeronautics and

gone into orbit and, "on com

started transmitting signals in

good there."
Dr. Abe Silverstein, chief of

"We think we are getting signals
that indicate pictures of cloud

Committee
No appointments to an SGA
committee to investigate the
political situation have been
made as yet, Rules Committee
Chairman Jay Hawley, told
the Assembly Thursday night.
Hawley said that all three stu
dents who had been suggested
for membership on the commit
tee had declined.
The students had been sug
gested by Desmond Macßae,
freshman in arts and letters fioin
IState College, who had proposed
',to the Assembly last week that
lan investigation be made. Mac
!Rae presented a petition signed
( by 761 students to bring a bill up
before the Assembly.
Hawley said the Rules Commit
tee felt the appointments should
be postponed also, because of the
nearness of the SGA elections.
The committee felt, he said, that
the investigation and the elec
tions would interfere with each
other.
In other business, the Assembly
approved a recommendation to
establish a committee to expand
the activities of Homecoming
Weekend and to work year-round
on improving alumni relations.
The students appointed will
work with the Alumni Associa
tion and the Athletic Advisory
Board which are already working
,on the problem.
