Space Duo Sails On
SPACE CENTER. Houston—(UPI)The Gemini 7 spacecraft, brilliantly visible among the stars, performing flawlessly, today swept a million miles and more around the Earth, nearly a third through its 14-day voyage.
On the ground, technicians raced to make up time lost Tuesday in preparing the Gemini 6 spacecraft to rocket from Cape Kennedy early next week and meet its sister ship in history's first space rendezvous.
CAPE KENNEDY—(UPI)—Spacecraft technicians, disappointed by the failure of the computer that was to guide Gemini 6 to a rendezvous with Gemini 7, today readied a new unit for a space chase launch Monday.
Gemini 6 'Brain' Fails
The original computer in the Gemini 6 capsule was found faulty and replaced, eliminating chances for a launch before Monday's scheduled date.
Before the trouble with Gemini's electronic brain cropped up, project officials had built up a day's lead in launch preparations and had hoped to send astronauts Walter Schirra and Thomas Stafford into space to join their Gemini 7 comrades Sunday.

Any change will be an improvement.
All we do when we change the Volkswagen is to make it work even better.
We don't play with the way it looks. So the 1966 VW still looks the same And there you have the whole Volkswagen point of view:
We keep looking for ways to improve it. And then we knock our brains out to make the new pieces fit old VWs, too.
All the improvements make a fat book.
And every one has made the car a touch better than it was before.
This year, the backs of the front seats can be locked so they won't push forward. Engine power's increased for the 4th time. And the windshield has a 3rd defroster (so you'll see where you're going in such a hurry).
This system not only makes the VW better all the time, but also makes parts easier to get, mechanics more skillful and owners always in style.
And we can still keep the price at a nice, reasonable
Keep the change. $1702.00

Survival Kits To Aid Women
Women living in scholarship and upperclass residence halts will be seeking aid from their parents this week in hopes of surviving during final week.
They will be sending letters to their parents this week seeking aid in a letter called the "Survival Kit" letter.
"Any woman in the hall may borrow the money with no questions asked as long as it is repaid within two weeks," Mary Dunlail, Albuquerque, N. Mex., senior and Inter-Residence Council reporter, said.
Sponsored by the Inter-Residence Association of KU (1RA), the letters inform the parents of a kit available to their daughters during the final examination week. The kit includes candy, fruit, potato chips, a package of instant coffee, gum, and cookies and all these at a cost of one dollar.
THE DOLLAR donation received for the kit is placed in an IRA loan fund designed to provide the women with short term loans up to a maximum of 10 dollars, interest free.
