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.

“For, Viking today, the
search, is just beginning,”
said Viking mission director
Thomas Young two hours
after the big parachute and
then three rocket engines
eased the spacecraft to a
gentle touchdown.
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.
Results from the ex
periments, however, were not
expected until today.

the Scorpion was in violation

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.

long-awaited quest for life on
the fourth planet out from the
sun.
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

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. This recently
developed method of instruction is the most innovative and effective
program available in the U.S. Not only does this famous course reduce your
time in the classroom to just 1 class per week for 4 short weeks but is also
includes an advanced speed reading course on cassette tape so that you
can continue to improve for the rest of your life.
In just 4 weeks the average student should be reading 4-5 times faster.
In a few months some students are reading 20-30 times faster attaining
speeds that approach 6000 words per minute. In rare instances speeds up
to 13000 wpm have been documented. Our average graduate should read
7-10 times faster upon completion of the course with market improvement
in comprehension and concentration.
For those who would like additional information, a series of free 1 hour
orientation lectures have been scheduled. At these free lectures the course
will be explained in complete detail including classroom procedures, in
struction, class schedule, and a special one time only introductory tuition
that is less than Vz the cost of similar courses. You must attend any of the
meetings for information about the State College classes. The orientations
are open to the public above age 14 (persons under 18 should be ac
companied by a parent if possible).
If you have always wanted to be a speed reader but found the cost
prohibitive or the course too time consuming, now you can, just by at
tending 1 evening per week for 4 short weeks. You can read 7-10 times
faster, concentrate longer, and comprehend more. If you are a student who
would like to make A’s instead of B’s or C’s or if you are a business person
who wants to stay abreast of todays ever changing accelerating worldthen
this course is an absolute necessity.
These special free 1 hour lectures will be held at the following times and
places. State College meetings: Tues., July 20 at 6:30 and again at 8:30
p.m. at the Sheraton Inn. Meetings will also be held Wed., Thurs., and Fri.,
July 21 -23 at the above times and location. Sat., July 24 meetings at 10:30
a.m. and 1:30 p.m. at the Sheraton. Mon., July 26, 6:30 and 8:30 p.m. at
the Sheraton.
If you are a bussinessman, student, housewife, or executive this course
which took 5 years of intensive research to develop is a must. You can
read 7-10 times faster, comprehend more, concentrate better and remem
ber longer. Students are offered an additional discount. This course can be
taught to industry.or civic groups at group rates upon request. Be sure to
attend whichever free orientation that best fits into your schedule.

the "air.”
Viking is scheduled to take
its first color picture today.
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.

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

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.

camps’ strength and the pool

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.
