College Nights Help
Students Pick Future

ance at three discussion groups
each night.
A diverse number of schools
were represented, those in the
Washington area including:
Montgomery Junior College,
Maryland University, the Card
ner School of Business, Amer
lean University, Marjorie Web
ster Junior College, Washington
School for Secretaries, Howard
University and Georgetown Uni
versity.
This year over 100 institutions
sent representatives, usually
alumnae, to discuss with stu
dents and parents their schools
as they see them - courses,
classes, social activities, sports.
These are the different as
poets that make a school exact
ly what the student wants, COM
pletly off the list, or not really
what he counted on. If what he
is told backs up his pre-con.
ceived pictures, this can push
him up to apply and hope. If
he is disillusioned, then it is
better that it happens now and
not when he arrives at the cam.
pus for classes in the fall.
Every person attending finds
that he learns more accurately
of the choices he has made, and
discovers perhaps smaller or
less well-known schools that
may never have otherwise
drawn his attention. These
facets considered, the College
Nights are invaluable as a guide
to higher education.

A large number of Montgom-
cry County high school stu
dents plan college careers and
each one of these has to scour
the mails and libraries to find
the information he needs to
choose his school.
In order to make his search
easier, three area high schools
= Northwood, Wheaton and
Montgomery Blair - have been
working together to produce
college Nights"
This is a series of three eve
nings, one at each of the par
ticipating schools, where repre-
sentatives from colleges and
universities lecture, advise and
answer at small group meet
ings.
The program began six years
ago, when the three area high
schools entered into coopera-
tive agreement, 1t was felt that
by such an arrangement more
people would have the oppor-
tunity of attending several
meetings if program were
held once at each school. Thus,
on three successive evenings,
the colleges take over the class
rooms.
The first program was held
at Northwood Nov. u, the Sec
ond at Blair Nov. %, and the
last at Wheaton Nov. 20.
The meetings began in indi-
vidual classrooms and each pro-
gram was divided into periods
of approximately 30 minutes
each. This permitted attend

Hearings on the qualifica-
tons necessary for the selec-
ton Of astronauts for future
space missions, both male
and female, will begin tomor-
row, according to an an
nouncement by Representa-
tive Victor L. Anfuso, Demo-
crat of New York.
Mr.. AnfuSo, chairman Of a
special subcommittee of the
House Committee on Science
and Astronautics, said sched-
uled witnesses include: Miss
Jerrie Cobb, Mrs. Philip Hart
and Mrs. Jacqueline Cochran,
all experienced pilots.
Also to be heard are DR..
Robert C. Seamans, jr., asso-
ciate administrator of NASA;
Brig. Gen. Charles H. Road
man, USAF. director of Aero
space Medicine, Office of
Manned Space Flight, NASA;
and Col. John H. Glenn, jr.,
and Commander M. Scott
Carpenter. Mercury Astro-
nautS.
I'VE are determined" Mr..
Anfuso stated, ito find out
just what are the basic in
dispensable qualifications for
astronautS for space flight
in these early days of our
national space progra m.
There Is no question that
we can make use Of every bit
Of talent available that can
contribute to the success Of
manned space flight. I think
the questions to be answered
include whe Their women,
from q technical and prac-
tical standpoint, can parti-
cipate as astronauts; wheth-
er our criteria for astronaut
qualifications are too high:
and whether it Is feasible to
select and train people other
than engineering test pilots
to perform as crew members
Of our upcoming space craft.
THE Importance Of this
investigation should not be
underestimated. And, we
must consider the far-reach-
ing effects from a national
prestige point of view of
sending into space the first
woman astronaut. 1t Is my
opinion that the women Of
our nation, in contrast to the
women Of the Soviet Union,
have not been utilized to any
great degree as contributing
members Of scientific teams
now executing NASA's Pro-
grams. Perhaps by the selec-
ton and use Of women as
aStronauts, we can excite the
imagination and desires of
other young women Of our
nation to enter into reward
ing careers in science and
technology. 1t Is our inten-
ton to conduct these hear
ings in a judicious manner
and to determine the pros
and cons, based upon factual
evidence by these expert wit
nesses," Mr.. Anfuso said.

Fifty young Americans
from seven States and the
District of Columbia who
lived with their parents in
Bangkok, Thailand, held q
reunion over the week end
that had been planned four
years ago.
All were members of the
American Teen Club in
Bangkok. In 1858 they set
up and pledged to attend the
reunion.
During these years we just
kept in contact with each
other by letter" said 19-
year-old Abby Potter, one of
the organizers. I'm glad so
many Of us kept the pledge.
1t has turned out to be like
a fraternity pledge"
Abby Is the daughter of
Col. and Mrs. Thomas K.
Potter. Col. Potter was in
Bangkok in 1858 as an air
defense planner with the
Southeast Asia Treaty Or
ganization. He now works in
the Plans and Policies Di-
vision under the United

Barbecue Opens Reunion
The first item on the re-
union program was a barbe-
cue in Great Falls, Md, at
the home of Mr.. John Cor
coran, associate director of
Peace Corps. In 1859 he was
in Bangkok as a financial
consultant to the Thai gov
eminent.
His daughter, Mrs. Joy
Wolf. came for the reunion
from Michigan City. Ind,
where she makes her home
with her husband. With her
was her 5-month-old son
Christopher.
Another participant was
Jennifer johnson, daughter
of Undersecretary of State
for Political Affairs and Mrs.
U. Alexis johnson. Her IA
ther was the American Am
bassador in Bangkok in 1859.
Jennifer's friends were
pleasantly surprised to learn
that in October she will
marry Mr.. Maitre Mike"
Mojdara, a Thai businessman.
She will leave for Thailand
on Sept. 81.
Saturday night a party for
the participants was held at
the MOO Club at Fort Myer.

Active in Charities

a big success.
1--WE also used to organize
regular Dollar-for-D ooley
drives" Miss Potter said. She
was referring to the hospitals
founded in Thailand by the
late famed DR.. Thomas
Dooley.
Then again in 1859 we
organized a clothing drive
for refugees from Formosa,
which also was a big success"
Mrs. Fraley added.

"once" are packed years and
years of well-loved traditions.
Candles CLEAN brightly, bells
ring merrily, glad carols fill
the air.
Up goes the tree and on go
the ornaments and lights, in
many a home and in many
other places, too, both in and
out of doors. Evergreen branch
es, holly and miStletoe decorate
the season.
Children eagerly await Santa
Claus. his sleigh and his rein
deer. Stockings are hung, and
greetings and gifts, gaily wrap
ped, spread the spirit of Christ
mas.
How did it all begin The
manger scene, in churches and
homes, testifies to the religious
meaning and real beginning of
Christmas. To be glad and
grateful, to give and to help
others are expressions of that
meaning.
The legends and customs of
the holiday season, however,
come from scores of sources,
and many ancient festivals have
contributed their part to
Christmas as a time of merry
making.

other words, the present year
is not 1862 of the Christian
era but at least 1866.
Evidence to support this re-
lates to the reign and death of
HerOd. An eclipse of the moon

the death of Herod at about
this time & and when he died,
according to the New Tesla

Date for Taxes
That the birth of Christ may
have occurred as early as z

logical discoveries indicating
that one of three major tax
collections in the reign of
Augustus Caesar may have
place then.
