PAGE SIX Washington Post Columnist Speaks at PNPA Banquet By CONNY BERRYMAN Collegian Staff Writer Extremists on the political left and right are bringing about a polarization in America that is causing an ever increie ing communications gap. The gap must be narrowed, according to Jack Anderson, Drew Pear , on's en-author of syndicated column, The Washington Merry- Go-Round, in The Washington Post. Speaking at the annual banquet of the Pen nwiventa Newspaper Pre , s Association held at the Nittany Lion Inn Friday night. Anderson said that \that this country needs is militant moderates to speak out against th e demagogues of the left and right who arc pulling American omit. "toiiard the gutter and :okay from the middle of the road. Responsibiiity of Newsmen "Those of us who are in the newspaper bm-mess during this time of turmoil and crisis in our nation," Anderson said. "have an merwhelining responsibilit y . We 7 cannot expect the younger generation to be attracted by platitudes and crusades when there are so many things wrong with our country." Stating that the major purpose of newspapers is to maintain controversy, to oppose, expose and watch, Anderson said. "We must take a good look at government and speak out against the corruption and social ills that are plaguing America. I don't know how many hungry peo ple we have in this country, but the Depart ment of Health, Education and Welfare has Costs May Cut Short USG Night War Vigil The night-long aspect of the Undergraduate Student Go~ernmcnt protesting U.S. Involvement may end today. A resolution passed May 8 by USG called for a vigil to be conducted in the courtyard of the Hetzel Union Building from May 18 through June 1. Bob Lachman, chairman of the USG Steering Committee to Protest the War in Vietnam, said last night that the all night aspect of the vigil may end because USG cannot main-I tain the cost of the large. sleeping tent for a second week. Lachman announced that a' Teach-in will be held at 2 p.m.l today in the HUB courtyard with Dale Winter. religious af fairs associate, as the keynote speaker. The Teach-in will be broken up into four groups to discuss different aspects of the war in Vietnam. Group leaders will b e William J.

Anderson then angrily noted that there are 7,000 oil comoanies that get oil clentetion benefits from the government which come out of litr. pockets of taxoavers.

Air Force Col. Thomas P. Stafford and Navy Cmdrs. John W. Young and Eugene A. Cernan, back from an eight-day flight that included a descent to 9.4 - miles of the moon's surface, landed in near darkness and were quickly plucked from the ocean by a helicopter and brought to recovery ship USS Princeton. White-suited sailors lined the deck as the three smiling spacemen, wearing light blue overalls, walk ed buoyantly from the Navy helicopter. Danced With Excitement The astronauts laughed, skipped and seemed to dance with excitement as they crossed the Princeton's flight deck. Ship's officers gave them crimson baseball-style caps for the happy welcome. "It's certainly great to be back from the moon," Stafford said, speaking into a microphone. "I hope we increased the knowledge of man so we can press on. It was a team effort all the way." "You know," Cernan said. "the thing that made this possible is being part of the greatest country in the world and it's great to come back here." Young said, "It's always good to see a big part of the U.S. Navy waiting for a small part of the U.S. Navy." No Obstacles A few minutes after splashdown, Thomas 0. Paine, director of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, told newsmen in Houston. "Today we see no obstacles on the path to the moon. We know we can go to the moon, and we will go to the moon. Stafford, Cernan and Young have given us the con fidence to take the step." The three astronauts were quickly hustled below decks where hot showers and four hours of medical examinations awaited them. The astronauts had re quested the showers while still in space, after living The graduation car. Q. Why did we make it this size? A. Maverick pinches pennies, not people. We gave Maverick more leg room. More shoulder room. More luggage room. Maverick's front seat offers nine inches more shoulder room than the front seat of the leading economy import. Q. What do I get for the price? A. You get your money's worth. A complete, built-for-Americans kind of car. Room. Hot styling Color-keyed interiors. 0. What kind of gas mileage can I get? A. That depends on you as well as the car. You can get as much as 25 or 26 miles per gallon—if you have an educated toe and the right road conditions. If you have a lead foot, or do a lot of city driving, you will get a lot less. In tests by professional drivers at our tracks, where we do our best to duplicate actual driving conditions, Maverick averaged 22.5 mpg. 0. What kind of power does Maverick have? A. Maverick's Six lets loose 105 galloping horses. That's 52 more than you get in the VW 1500. Maverick can cover 417 feet in'ten seconds from a standing start. When you enter a 70-mph turnpike, you won't feel like a retired bookkeeper thrust into the middle of a pro football game. FORD The place you've got to go to see what's going on-your Ford Dealer! Astronauts Clear Way For July Moon for five days with an itching problem caused by glass wool insulation floating inside the spacecraft. The astronauts halted their physical examination briefly to talk in priVate with President Richard M. Nixon calling from the White House. The President called the flight "a proud moment for the country" and then talked with each crewman. He told Young he would like to make a spaceflight but said he did not think he could "check out" as an astronaut. A preliminary medical report indicated the spacemen were in excellent condition. "They have a little skin irritation which happens on many of the spaceflights," a doctor said. "It's not severe and I don't think it will be any problem." The doctor said he thought the Apollo 10 crew was "pe haps a little bit better rested than the Apollo 9 crew. They seem very well rested and in very good spirits, of course." Shaving in space had been forbidden during past flights because officials feared the bristles would float into sensitive equipment in weightlessness. Staf ford and his crew used an ordinary razor and brushless cream and reported no problems. The Apollo 10 crew brought their spacecraft to a landing only three miles from carrier, about 400 miles from Pago Pago. They were near enough to be easily seen by sailors lining the carrier rail. "Would you tell the medical officer to relax?" Stafford radioed from the Apollo 10 capsule. "We are in great shape." Their spacecraft, dangling beneath huge orange and white parachutes, came into view of television cameras aboard the helicopter carrier several min utes before it hit the water. Waiting rescue helicopters gained radio contact with the spacecraft almost immediately after it pass ed through a three-minute blackout period which Any questions? Proud Moment Stafford, Cernan and Young were the first astronauts to return from space not needing and wanting a shave. Shave in Space Contact Made ~7155iu~ ~4 ,~'.~ _ Flight started at the height of its burning re-entry into the earth's atmosphere. "We should be right on top of you if you're down there." Stafford called. The spaceship, landing in near darkness, hit the water only about three miles from the recovery ship, whose lights flashed in the semi-darkness. Helicopters immediately hovered over the floating capsule and swimmers dropped into the inky water to aid the crew. Minutes later the word came from the astronauts: they were safe and well and anxious to get aboard the ship. Apollo 10 made the hottest, fastest and riskiest plunge ever back into the atmosphere of earth. Earth Bound After its service module -containing most of the oxygen and electrical supplies was jettisoned, the small command ship quickly picked up speed as it flashed toward the earth at the end of its 246,000-mile trip home from the moon. The spacecraft reached 24,694 miles an hour just before slicing into the upper limits of earth's at mosphere. The cone-shaped spaceship's blunt end glowed a fiery red as atmospheric friction heated the outside of the craft to more than 5,000 degress. The crew remained a comfortable 80 degrees as they withstood forces 6.7 that of gravity. At 24,000 feet, a forward heat shield flipped away and two drogue parachutes popped out of the pointed end of the spacecraft, stabilizing its fall. Moments later three pilot parachutes popped out, dragging behind them the huge main parachutes. The main parachutes blossomed above the spacecraft and slowed its fleeting descent to 22 miles per hour. The astronauts drifted through the dawning sky for five minutes before landing gently on the ocean. Apollo 10's re-entry was 64 miles an hour faster that the return last December of Apollo 8, the one previous moon-orbit flight. Apollo 10 came in directly, instead of "skipping" as did Apollo 8. Apollo 10 also came from further out in space, since the moon was more distant from the earth than during Apollo 8. If it has an eight;inch longer wheelbase than the import, does it still handle and park easily? Maverick's turning circle is 35.6 feet (vs. 36 feet for' its leading import rival). Maverick can slant through traffic like a halfback. It makes you a better driver because of the nimble way it handles in traffic, goes around corners and slides into tight parking spots. Can a small car be safe? And how safe is safe? This small car incorporates all the latest advances in engineering. Its brakes are as big as a standard compact's—designed to stop cars weighing hundreds of pounds more. Maverick gives you weight ... power ... stability ... designed for greater peace of mind on high-speed turnpikes where so many Americans spend so much of their time at 70 miles per hour.
