Thresher Design Probed by Navy
PORTSMOUTH. N.H.-(UPI)-A Navy court of inquiry met behind closed doors today to examine the highly classified design of the nuclear submarine Thresher which sank April 10 with 129 men aboard.
The military science department held its annual awards day at the intramural field at 4 p.m. Friday. About 600 uniformed ROTC cadets and the Fort Leavenworth Band paraded on the field.
ROTC Groups Get 4 National Awards
They were reviewed by Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe, Col. Clyde L. Jones, head of Army ROTC, Capt. Richard D. Gruber, head of NROTC, and Col. Gerald E. Hallas, head of AFROTC.
KU cadets received four national awards.
The national awards went to Fred K. Green, Prairie Village senior, for defense transportation and William B. Textor, Lawrence senior, John T. Wettack, Coffeyville senior, and Henry M. Dodd, Independence, Mo. junior, for outstanding work in engineering school by ROTC cadets.
Numerous other local awards were presented.
A reception was held afterwards in the military science building.
Vice Adm. Bernard L. Austin, court president, disclosed last night that the board had not pinpointed the cause of the disaster.
"There is a lot we've learned," he said. "We are moving into the design field now."
Austin said the cause of the sinking might not be uncovered even if the wreckage of the Thresher was salvaged.
HE ESTIMATED the court would continue to gather evidence for another week or 10 days.
At sea, Navy and research ships continued the search for the sub.
The Navy bathyscaph Trieste was back in Boston following a successful 702 foot dive 60 miles off the New England coast Saturday to test its equipment.
The cause of the disaster, he said, could be hidden by conditions which the sub encountered. It sank in about 8,400 feet of water 220 miles east of Cape Cod.
Trieste has no facilities to recover the Thresher. But, officials said they will be able to photograph and examine closely the sunken submarine from the bathyscaph once its wreckage is located.

Advisory Board Planned To Aid Enrollment
Plans for the establishment of a Student Advisory Board were outlined Sunday by the All Student Council Committee on Committees and Legislation.
Greg Turner, ASC vice-chairman and chairman of the Committee on Committees, said the Board would act as a complementary agency to the faculty advisory staff during enrollment.
Turner, Seattle, Wash., junior, said the Board would advise students on enrollment, class scheduling procedure, graduation requirements and
general University policy.
THE STUDENT Advisory Board would be composed of 41 juniors and seniors, to be selected proportionately from the undergraduate schools.
These students must be eligible for the honor roll in their respective schools.
Turner said the 41-member Board would be selected in time to begin work on plans for fall enrollment of next year.
Turner said letters and applications for membership to the Board would be sent to all eligible students. Applications must be turned in by May 16. Interviews will begin May 19 for all applicants.
