Carpenter Awaits Launch Decision
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — "a long period of surveillance of the fully peroxide throughout the day."
CAPE CANAVERAL — (UPI) — Launch crews today successfully completed the first phase of the split-countdown for astronaut M. Scott Carpenter's scheduled orbital flight tomorrow and officials said the crucial "go" or "no go" decision will be made this evening.
A spokesman indicated that everything checked out perfect in the space vehicle during the first phase of the countdown, but that launch conditions still were causing concern.
AT A WEATHER BRIEFING this morning top officials of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) said that smoke from nearby forest and swamp fires "was thicker than we had expected" at the launch area today.
Today, the pad could not be seen from the beach vantage points where it is normally easily within view. Despite forecasts of only three-mile visibility at low altitudes, space agency officials said the smoke haze would probably not interfere with the high altitude tracking cameras and that even with today's smoke blanket, the shot probably could have gone.
"A large forest fire across from Cape Canaveral is almost directly upstream of the predicted wind" for the day of the shot, meaning the smoke will be blown directly toward Carpenter's launching pad, a spokesman said.
"WE STILL HAVE at least a 60-40 chance of getting the flight off tomorrow," one official said. The launching is scheduled between 6 and 11:30 a.m. CST.
Another touch-and-go weather area was the Eastern Atlantic, where emergency recovery might have to be made if Carpenter's Aurora-7 spacecraft fails to achieve orbit. Weathermen reported six-foot waves there today.
Space agency spokesman Paul Haney said this morning that volatile hydrogen peroxide had already been put into the capsule to fuel control jets. He said there would be
DIFICULTIES in the hydrogen peroxide system have caused several postponements in America's manned spaceflights.
Sources said the first phase of the countdown today amounted to a critical double-check to "make sure everything was in flight configuration—with every nozzle and switch set just right for the flight."

ONE HUNDRED and forty of the students are from KU. Buses will depart from Kansas City June 4 for a two-day orientation program in Washington, D. C. Students will then fly to New York and leave for Brussels, Belgium.
Today's Is Last Issue Of the Daily Kansan
From Brussels, the students will take a bus to West Berlin where the Federal Republic has arranged housing for a week.
"We hope our representatives will sit down at the local cafes, order a cup of coffee and get acquainted with the people."
"The purpose of this stay is twofold." Murray said. "It is to add moral support to the people of West Berlin, and to give our students a first hand view of a nation deserving its freedom."
This is the final issue of the University Daily Kansan for this semester. The twice weekly summer editions will begin June 12. Daily editions will resume on Sept. 17.

MURRAY CONTINUED, "The aim of the entire program is to further international understanding."
Weather
Fair this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow except for some chance of local thunderstorms extreme west late tomorrow. A little cooler east this afternoon. Warmer extreme west this afternoon and over most of state tomorrow. Low tonight in the 50s. High tomorrow in the 90s.
A person-to-person ambassador program will take 350 Big Eight students to Europe this summer under the auspices of People-to-People.
"This is not a program to sell America but rather an opportunity to know America through contacts with American students," explained Jim Murray, Leawood freshman and chairman of the summer program.
The students will be provided with directories of student organizations throughout Europe, including the names of European students inter-
tested in being contacted by the P-t-P representatives.
The University liaison committee of P-t-P has contacted European university presidents who have in turn arranged for their students to be available to meet and aid the representatives.
In addition, KU alumni in Europe will assist with transportation and housing.
1300 Receive Degrees Here
About 1300 June graduates will receive degrees and certificates in KU's 90th Commencement exercises June 4th in Memorial Stadium. Approximately 850 others who have completed studies since last June's graduation will be listed on the graduation program.
Rev. Prentiss L. Pemberton of the Colgate Rochester (N.Y.) Divinity School will deliver the Sunday Baccalaureate address. He is a native of Ottawa. Alvin S. McCoy, a 1925 KU graduate and Pulitzer Prizewinning journalist for the Kansas City Star will address the welcoming dinner Saturday evening.
McCoy and four other KU graduates will receive University citations for distinguished service to mankind.
