Viking / lands on Mars PASADENA, Calif.-(UPD Viking 1 rode a parachute and a cushion of rocket power to a smooth landing on Mars yesterday and discovered a rocky, rolling desert with sand dunes after an unusually bright late afternoon sky. Its first twojblack and white pictures,.' displaying clarity never before seen from a robot explorer, appeared as if they had been taken at sunset in a desert in Nevada. .“It’s a very exciting place," said astronomer Carl .Sagan. “Mars is ex '' traordinarily interesting." The seven-foot tall spacecraft* landed only 17 seconds late~ after an 11- month voyage from Earth 214 million miles away. Viking was quickly transformed into tS nuclear-powered science observatory-bearing the flag of the United States and a Bicentennial emblem honoring the nation’s 200th birthday.

President Ford praised the space agency and called Viking’s landing a “won derful and a most remarkable success." He asked if NASA planned a third Viking after Viking 2 lands in September. He was told more advanced missions were being con sidered. Weather monitors were programmed. to begin operated shortly after land ing and a Mdrs-quake detector on a few hours later.

The board charged that the Scorpion, due to an .in sufficient supply of food on hand, did not qualify as a restaurant, and records pertaining to the cleaning of “coils, tap rods and con nections in the operation of drawing malt or brewed beverages” were not being kept. The Scorpion contends the ruling is arbitrary and capricious.

Dr. Thomas Mutch, chief of the photographic experiment, said. there was no obvious evidence that water had a role in shaping the surface. Pictures from orbit suggested the landing area was in a drainage basin for once mighty rivers that geologists believe existed a billion years ago. The presence of water in the- past would increase Viking’s chances of finding evidence of life a key ob jective of the $1 billion, two shot Viking project. Geologists' said the rocks littering the landscape were sharp chunks of dark and light color. Some were pitted, which would suggest they were evidence of one of probably many volcanic interludes in Mars’ history. The surface was obviously wind blown. .There were mounds of soil , on sides of some rocks and other features typical of wind ac tjon in a desert.'But scientists said wind apparently has not played a dominant role there. Mutch said there was one mystery in the first picture a dark line which he said apparently is a shadow He said one picture showed a middle altitude cloud layer on the - horizon. And Dr. James Pollack said the sky was 100 times brighter than would be expected from Mars’ atmosphere alone. This means, he said, there are many particles suspended in U.S. READING LAB will offer a 4 week course in speed reading to a limited number of qualified people in the State College area.

It was extremely cold scientists estimated 37 degrees below zero Fahrenheit when Viking landed, and the atmosphere was much too thin to support animal life as it is known on Earth. But scientists hoped some microscopic forms of life might exist. There were no visible signs of life in the first two pic tures, although Dr. James C. Fletcher, space agency administrator, joked about what he said looked like cactus and sagebrush in the distance. These features presumably were rocks.. Viking’s landing went right by the book. Every operation that was programmed to occur did, and within seconds of the preplanned time. Viking began its descent when it separated from its still-orbiting mother craft at 4:32 a.m. EDT. It was 11,400 miles away at the time, traveling at 3,040 miles per hour. The lander, built by the Martin Marietta Corp., coasted into the upper fringes of Mars’ thin atmosphere and gained speed under the pull of Martian gravity. At one point it was going faster than 10,000 miles per hour. But as its heat shield sliced into the thicker, portions of Mars’ “air” blanket, it slowed quickly, building up deceleration forces eight times the force of Earth gravity. 44th Anniversary Year of the “ORIGINAL” Thurs., Fri. & Sat., July 22,23 & 24th Campbell named to post By CHET WADE Collegian Staff Writer Centre County Judge R. Paul Campbell of State College has been named one of six members of a national advisory committee formed by the American Judicature Society to study judicial performance in American trial courts. Judge Campbell, president judge of the Centre County Court of Appeals, along with two other trial judges and three educators, will conduct the 18- month study with the purpose of making recommendations to the society oh how to increase the ef ficiency of American trial judges. The study is funded by the National Science Foundation. Judge Campbell was recommended for the post by Judge Alexander F. President gets more delegates , WASHINGTON (AP) President Ford picked off clumps of Republican con vention delegates in two of Ronald Reagan’s strong southern states yesterday while the California challenger countered with an endorsement from Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Each side continued to claim its man would win at Kansas City next month, but The Associated Press count of delegates and the pattern of Ford gains indicated it was the President who was moving significantly nearer the GOP presidential nomination. John Sears, Reagan’s campaign manager, Barbieri, Supreme Court administor of Pennsylvania. “My hope is we can pinpoint and recommend specific things to in crease the productivity of trial judges,” Judge Campbell said. “I also think it (the committee) ought to pinpoint that judges should spend more time on the bench and at their job ... I’ve really been a bug or nut about that for a long time.” Judge Campbell said he believed he was recommended for the committee because of his good record for productivity. He said Centre County has the highest population of any county in Pennsylvania with only one judge for the Court of Appeals, but there is no backlog of cases. Asked if he would like to have another judge to help him, Judge declared, however, that Reagan will pick up at least 40 votes from delegates presently claimed by Ford. Ford officials threw their own cold water on Reagan claims. The Associated Press count of legally committed and publicly declared delegates showed, after the day’s developments, 1,082 for Ford, 1,024 for Reagan, 152 un committed and one favoring Sen. Howard Baker Jr. Sears said Thurmond would help Reagan win un committed votes in South Carolina. But just hours before the Thurmond an nouncement, three previously uncommitted South GSj\.

Thc Daily Collegian Wednesday, July 21, 1976 Carolinians said they’re now for Ford. In all, Ford officials claimed 16 new delegates yesterday, one of whom was already counted for the President in the AP count. Two others who had already been counted by the Ford camp announced publicly their moves from un committed to Ford. The Reagan campaign named three new converts in addition to Thurmond, but two of these had been added to the AP tally earlier yesterday and one several weeks before that. Previous analysis of both camps’ strength and the pool of uncommitted delegates Good Only At: 111 Sowers Street Campbell said, “I don’t want one. I don’t need one. Everything is up to date. If I wanted one, I could get one. But there is no backlog in Centre County.” Others named to the committee are Beverly Blair Cook, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee; Richard J. Fitzgerald, presiding judge, criminal division, Circuit Court of Cook County, Chicago, 111.; Herbert Jacob, professor and chairman of political science at Northwestern University, Evanston, 111.; David W. Neubauer, associate professor of political science, University of New Orleans, La.; and Robert A. Wenke, presiding judge, Los Angeles County Superior Court, Los Angeles, California. had indicated Reagan would need to win virtually every remaining uncommitted delegate in the South if he is to capture the nomination Aug. 18. Sears said the Ford totals optimistically include 40 or more delegates who will vote for Reagan but don’t want to make their preferences known now because of their party position, dealings with the government, or other factors that could suffer by premature identification with the challenger. Ford officials placed their present strength at 1,119 and said they hope to be able to name another 11 switches within a few more days. ®1975 Arby's Inc
