U.S. space official praises Soviet shot
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — A high U.S. space official described today's Soviet Venus hit as "another spectacular payoff for Russia's intensive efforts to explore the moon and planets."
The most recent previous one was the soft landing of Luna 9 on the moon Feb. 3.
As far as Venus is concerned, today's Soviet feat is likely to stand alone for many years. This country hopes to soft-land a scientific capsule on Mars in 1973, but it has no plans to put anything on Venus.
The official is Dr. Edward C. Welsh, executive secretary of the National Aeronautics and Space Council. He said that over the years Russia has devoted about 25 per cent of its total launches to shate at the moon or Mars and Venus. This compares with six per cent for the United States.

will try to duplicate or match today's Venus performance with a Mars shot next year.
The accomplishment of Venus 3 was a tribute to the dogged determination with which Russia has persisted in its planetary program despite repeated failures. Venus 3 was the first success in 16 launches.
Thus far the Russians have failed to achieve their goal in six shots at Mars and eight toward Venus. The launches of Venus 2 and Venus 3 last November were the 15th and 16th in the Soviet planetary project.
Welsh and other officials said it was too early to tell how much actual information Venus 3 returned about Venus before it crashed and fell silent. The mere fact that it hit proved that the Russians had good information about planetary distances. Refinement of this information is one of the scientific reasons for launching planetary probes.
ASC chairman cites need for realistic student rules
Mike McNally, Bartlesville, Okla., junior and chairman of the All Student Council, said today the questionnaire presented to Provost James Surface Friday can be helpful if used in a constructive manner.
"There is little question that a comprehensive, meaningful, and realistic student disciplinary code has long been needed," he said.
"IT IS ALSO true that the reasoning behind several of the university policies is vague and should be formally clarified.
"However, I hope the questionnaire will be used as a means to achieve these goals, and not as a

means to harass authority or agitate discontentment," he said.
McNally said he was "concerned about the true motives" of several people who are actively promoting the "in loco parentis" movement.
"It is no secret that the 'movement' is heavily dependent upon non-students and national left-wing organizations for its manpower and ideas," he said.
