Stefan iak
Leaves For
U.S. Tour
Dr. Ludwik Stefaniak, pro
fessor of biblical archaeology
at the University of Krakow,
Poland, who has been a guest
on campus for several days
left the University Tuesday to
continue his tour of the United
States.
Stefaniak was invited to the
United States by the University's
Department of Religious Studies
and the Department of Archae
ology and will continue as their
guest for his entire stay in the
United States.
Stefaniak said •that he is on a
"holiday from Krakow to do re
search. He left Poland in Sep
tember to excavate both in the
Near and Middle East.
In October Stefaniak and his
excavating company discovered
sik Bar-Cochba letters. Bar-Coch
ba was the leader of the second
Jewish revolt between 132 and
135 A.D. One of these letters is
of specific importance because it
is written by Bar-Cochba and
contains his signature in Greek.
Only 15 of these letters have been
unearthed, Stefaniak said.
On Monday night, speaking on
the letters for the first time, he
said "the letters have helped us
to 'clarify the origin of Chris
tianity."

The recent heavy snow,;
coupled with the Christmasi

caroling reminds us all that
the holiday season is just
around the corner. However,
Santa Claus' sleigh, behind his
house at the foot of the Mall, has
been put to non-Christmas use

its student patrolmen to'find the

luck with this than most of their
other investigations.

It ' s too bad there is a group of
pranksters who enjoy painting
the Lion shrine every so often. If
they had to clean it off after they
painted it, maybe they would
think twice before doing it again.

Is recorded all the significant data needed to direct a rocket
into space.
As the rocket blasts skyward, the electronic computer, which
includes this small memory unit, begins to monitor the flight.
The computer continually correlates data on flight progress
with data In the memory unit and makes course corrections
instantly.
The very small size and weight of this memory unit is an
achievement in itself. Yet other difficult problems had to be
overcome—shock, prolonged vibration and extremely high G
forces. Only by using new materials and design techniques
were these problems solved.

I was wondering if there
might be a connection between
the recent chain letter and' the
fact that some of my colleagues
in the Department of Sociology
are assigning chapters dealing
with the original chain letter in
1935.
