ready to try, his skill at the real thing.
From this course many have advanced to high levels in mountain climbing. Burt Blanke, this summer, climbed in the Swiss Alps.
Six others tried to climb Estes peak in Colorado but failed due to wind and melting snow. It would have been the first time the feat had been accomplished on skis.
Those who made the expedition were Ray Hopponen, assistant professor of pharmacy; Noye Johnson, college senior; Jerry Clark, education junior, and Don Glad, Bob Douglass, and Jack Shears, education seniors.
Prof. Hopponen is the president of this year's club. Other officers are Jerry Clark, vice president; Mary Helen Robinson, college senior, secretary; Chapin Clark, graduate student, treasurer, and W. W. Davis, professor of history, faculty adviser.
Anyone who has any connection with the University is eligible to join. The organization has 60 members.
The early practice for the members is very important. Beginners are taught how to walk on slanted surfaces and how to go down the side of a mountain. They learn rope and signal techniques and become accustomed to the heights.
At the first meeting of the club Gordon Stucker, '49, showed slides of a San Miguel outing this summer.
On the Thanksgiving and Easter outings the members will sleep in cabins; during the summer they camp out. Fishing, picture taking, and hiking add to the pleasure of the trips.
There must be careful preparation before each trip. Shots are given for Rocky Mountain Spotted fever, and
A special team of scientific and engineering representatives of the U.S. Naval Ordnance Test station and the Naval Air Missile Test center will be on the campus Oct. 13, 14, and 15.
Scientific Team to Interview Students
They will interview and select seniors and graduate students for employment in engineering, scientific research, and development work.
Students who are employed will work with outstanding scientists and engineers in the finest and best equipped research laboratories in the country. The research programs and facilities of the laboratories offer an unusual opportunity to develop professionally and to contribute to the advancement of scientific and engineering technology.
Excellent opportunities are offered by these laboratories in almost all scientific and engineering fields relating to the research and development of guided missiles, rockets, radar, electronic equipment, and many other areas of weapon development and basic scientific research.
A film depicting the research facilities and programs of the laboratories will be shown at 3 p.m. Monday in 116 Marvin hall.

Interviews will be scheduled for science and graduate students in mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, and aeroautonautical engineering and in physics. A limited number of openings exist in civil engineering, chemistry, mathematics, and metallurgy.
An appointment for an interview with one of the team members may be made by contacting the dean's office, School of Engineering and Architecture, 111 Marvin hall.

piths, and other things.
One of the most important pieces of equipment is the carrabiner. This is a steel ring which is used on the rope as a clasp, and prevents rope burn. It holds the eight-foot rope which is around the waist of each climber so he is able to climb better.
LONG RANGE TRACKING TELESCOPE-This strange device, used by the U. S. Naval Air Missile Test center, is a long range tracking telescope. Its 35mm. motion picture camera obtains a detailed closeup movie of the missile in flight. The films are used for research purposes (Official U. S. Navy photograph).
