Candidates for' the tinder

(Campus-Liberal) and j Dean
Wharton . (University) Yester
day at a; press conference - tents ' :
lively agreed as they did.on most
.issues 'that there is no need to
seat class presidents on the USG
Congresi.
At the same time, candidates
for the class presidencies re
affirmed their position that class
representation in the Congress is
important. •

WHARTON SAID his objection
were • becanse •fwhether we Like
it or not, t4e time will come when
the, clzisses,Will slowly disappeat
due to the, term system."
Although Miss - Wm:l4f said she
sees a futurelor classes for a long
time to coine, she did not see the
value of class presidents having a
seat on, Congress.
' The primary • functio, ,of the
class president is to 'handle the
class affairs such as raising money
lor the class gift, she said., •
When asked about University
party's plank to sponsor a USG
column in The - Daily Collegian,
Wharton explained that he. in
tended to have USG pay for the
space. He said the space could
carry editorials written by - the
USG congressmen, or could be
used alternately by the politic'al
parties. I

Another plank questioned was
the Campus-Liberal support of
the National Student Association.
MiS3 Woodall said the organiza
tion "has a lot of services," but
the individual members '"have to
. . -
make it work." • -
SHE USED a mail-ordei book
service as one example of 4'lSA's
"advantages."
Offering a 10 to 25 per cent dii
co"unt, the service supplies, books
to students within a week after
the order is placed and will take
back wrong books, Miss Woodall
said.
With a show of amiability be
tween oposing parties Miss Wood
all accepted a cigaret from Morris
Baker, University party's vice
presidential .Candidate. and con
tinued explaining NSA. She cited
an information agency which coin
piles ideas from NSA member
schools and an identification Card
which enables students to enter
European museums and monu
ments at a seduced rate as ex
amples of __further NSA services.
Discussing the effects of party
switching, Baker said 'it is bad
for the party system which the
students have voted to continue."
Wharton added that party switch
ing indicates "there - is no major
issue which separates the parties,
and parties are just used as a
means of getting 'elected."
Miss Woodall said it is a reflec•
tion of faults within the party
system, and party-switching can
ibe blamed on individtials within
dent of the council, proposed "that
the float parade take place on
Friday night of Spring Week nbxt
yearf and that-•the IFC-Panhel
Music Festival, which would fea
ture a jazz group and possibly
popular entertainment such as the
Kingston Trio, be scheduled for .
Saturday night.

Both Pigossi and Sos said that
the carnival should be eliminated
because it is a public example of
the fraternity system at its worst.
Pigossi also said that enthusiasm
for Spring Week seems much
lower this year than it has been
in past.
The proposals for the changes
in Spring Week organization and
management will be voted on at
the next IFC meeting.

tlas 'Braid Fails
in Latest Flight
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (fit The United States fired
an inquisitive scientific probe toward the moon yesterday,
but failure'of the spaceeraft',l brain apparently wrecked the
major portion of the ambitions experiment. .
There remained a faint hope that devite the basic mai
function the Ranger 4 thight crash-'
land on the moon. It would be a
substantial - consolation prize—the
first such accomplishment in the
trouble - redden U.'S. moon - shut
efforts
A giant Atlas-Agena B- rocket
blasted away from its - launching
pad at 3:50 p.m. with the gold
and silver spacecraft tucked in, its
nose.
THE POWERFUL ROOSTER
worked as planned, unleashed the
30-pound Ranger 4 on a course
toward the moon at the planned
speed of 24,500 mules per hour,
But two. hours later, the Na
tional Aeronautics and' Space Ad
ministration reported a• malfunc
tion had occurred in the space-,
craft radio system making it im
possible to determine whether
Ranger 4 was responding to coin
manda sent to it from earth.
At a news conference, William
H. Pickering, director of NASA's
jet propulsion laboratory, said the
problem apparently was serious
and that the space craft probably
would not be able to carry out
most of its missions.
THESE INCLUDED snapping,
television pictures of the moon
and relaying them to the earth
and landing an instrument pack
age on the lunar surface to mea
sure moonquakes and meteor hits.
• Pickering said there was a slim
possibility that the entire space
craft could crash on the moon.,
The United States has 'failed in
seven previous attempts to hit the
moon.
As originally planned; Ranger
4 would have reached the moan
at 8:50 a.m., Thursday.,
PICXEBINe r SAID the official
indication of trouble came when
a South African tracking station
was unable to receive telemetry
signals radioed from Instrument"
inside the body of the spacecraft
However, signals were being re
ceived from two tracking beacons
in the vehicles.
Without telemetry signals essen
tial to the 'Mission, stations on
earth will be unable to determine
whether commands sent to The
Ranger 4 arc being earned out.
