MOSCOW —(UPI) The Soviet army newspaper Red Star today, described the "great difficulties" of landing a space ship gently on the moon but refused to admit the Luna-5 mission was a failure.

The $1 \frac{1}{2}$ ton moon probe apparently crash-landed on the moon late Wednesday night after the Russians announced in advance they would try the "elements" of a soft landing system, leaving them a chance to gloss over any apparent failure.
"THE LAUNCHING OF the automatic Luna-5 is another step in our movement on the path for a man to reach the moon," Red Star said.
The article detailed the "serious engineering problems" that must be overcome in a soft landing; the pull of the moon's gravity, the difficulty of turning on the retrorocket braking system in time, correction of last minute course mistakes and the actual braking of the moonship to a feathery landing.
"To exercise the soft landing of apparatus on the moon it is necessary to slow down the speed of its fall with a braking system." Red Star said. "But this is not the most difficult part of the task. The main thing is to work out an automatic system of guiding the landing."
AURH Leader Gets New Term
Ronald Rardin, Leawood senior, was elected last night to a second term as chairman of the KU Chapter of the Association of University Residence Halls.
Other officers elected were John Hill, Waverly sophomore, vice chairman; Susan Taylor, Wichita freshman, secretary, and Brent Porter, Halfway. Mo., treasurer.
A delegation from the club will attend the Annual Midwest College and University Residence Hall Association meeting at Kansas State University on Aug. 30. to Sept. 1.
A leadership training retreat is in the planning stages for next fall by the group. Over some week-end in early fall many of the leaders of the dormitories and scholarship halls will meet to learn better methods of operating their living groups.

THIS LEFT WESTERN observers in the position of being able only to speculate on the apparent failure.
A terse, 60-word announcement by the official Tass news agency was the only statement which followed the landing of the 3.000-pound probe late Wednesday in the Sea of Clouds region of the moon's surface.
Indians Seen Gaining New Awareness
The American Indian is becoming increasingly nationalistic, according to an anthropologist from the University of Wisconsin who spoke here last night.
Anthropologist Nancy Lurie based her lecture, "The American Indian Renaissance," on a study she has completed as a professor at the University of Wisconsin.
The study consisted of sending questionnaires to Indians, missionaries, and persons in the Bureau
of Indian Affairs, asking if they agreed there is an American Indian renaissance now taking place. "Many of the Indians, especially the younger people, preferred the words 'Indian nationalism,'" Lurie said.
The anthropologist noted that the need among Indians to develop a distinct national character may have arisen with the civil rights movement for the Negro people. "Indians
do not have the same problems as Negroes in civil rights," Lurie said. "They may have many of the same problems but they are not as bad as the situation of the Negroes," she added.
"Twentieth century Indians don't want to turn back the clock, but they want to be recognized as Indians. They want people to know what they are and what they want."

Does the stickshift scare your wife?

The stickshift saves your money, too. (The VW could never average 32 miles per gallon if it had to
She hasn't touched a gearshift in years Imay be not in her life), so whystart struggling with one now?
We wouldn't be a bit surprised to learn that the stickshift is all that stands between your wife and a Volkswagen.
You get better control on slippery roads. Because when you shift down, the motor helps to slow the car. You don't have to hit the brakes as often, so there's less chance of skidding.
not a struggle any more. Because the VW has synchromesh on all 4 gears to let you slide easily from one speed to another. In fact, our synchromesh is so smooth that, even if you've never done any stick shifting, you won't ever have to worry about our shift sticking.
In the first place, it's
waste engine power on slippage in an automatic transmission.)
Our fourth gear is really overdrive. When you're whizzing along the highway in fourth, the engine doesn't have to work as hard. Which saves wear and tear (and even more gas).
But a lot of people don't care about the practical aspects.
They just want a stickshift for the fun of it. (That's not as weird as it might seem. What's the good of being in the driver's seat if the car does all the driving?)
Some drivers even pay extra to have a 4-speed synchromesh stickshift installed in their domestic cars. But, they still won't get a transmission as smooth as ours unless they do what many auto racers do: First,

a Volkswagen transmission from one of our dealers. And then, build the car around it.
If you still can't sell your wife on a VW, there's one more thing you can tell her about our stickshift:
After you use it for a couple of days, it becomes automatic.
