UP The United States fired a "weather eye" satellite toward space Friday, but the chances of a successful orbit appeared to be slim. The 72-foot rocket, plagued by five failures in six attempts up to row. blazed aloft majestically at 10:33 a.m., EST., but three hours later there was only a blanket of silence. The chances that the U. S. would successfully blast its fifth satel lite into orbit looked good when it was announced mniutes alter the spectacular launching that the rock et's three phases; had performed flawlessly. NOTHING TO REPOUT But three and a half hours later in Washington, where the first news of successful orbit was expected, a spokesman said there was nothing to report. The odds appeared to be stacked fcgainst the hardluck Vanguard pro gram once again, for by that time, the satellite's signals would have been picked up at a tracking sta tion in San Dk-go, Calif., if the satellite orbited smoothly. The Martin Rocket thundered through the cloud filled Florida sky with a 21V2-pound goldplated satel lite equipped to measure the earth's cloud cover.

In the previous six tests the only success came last St. Patrick's Day March 17 when a 3Vi-pound ball plopped into an orbit that may last 200 years. -Since that time three Vanguard rockets strayed off course high in the sky when malfunctions deve loped. Today's launching appeared to be perfect to reporters working atop a launching tower a mile and a half from the launching site. The 2.500-pound rockej, belched a pool of white flames and streaked straight up, slowly at first. Then it accelerated after about 50 seconds arched over gracefully and roared through the clouds. On May 27, the first Vanguard to carry a full sized satellite also worked smoothly on 'the flight up but just as the third stage reached 18,000 miles per hour speed and was about to shoot the satellite into orbit, something went wrong. FAILED TO LEAN It was learned later that the rocket failed to lean toward the precise altitude and instead of or biting it continuer to shoot straight Up some 2,200 miles high. - 'X V .

K. Krishna Menon, India's de tense minister, has publicly offered his country's good offices to aid in easing tensions. Secretary of State Dulles saw British Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd and French Foreign Min ister Maurice Couve De Murville separately during the day. Nothing official was released on the -conferences. But Lloyd Thurs day and Friday talked with Menon, who is reported receiving informa tion from Peiping by way of New Delhi. It was assumed that Lloyd filled in Dulles on his talks with Menon, and also on conversations held ear lier with Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko. Menon has been in contact with Gro'myko, and talked today with Ambassador Henry Cabot Lodge, head of the U. S. delegation. Gromyko was reported under pressure from Britain, Canada and Norway to try to persuade the Chi nese Communists to agree to a cease-fire. But there was no indi cation he had consented to take this up with Feiping. The United States is insisting on a cease-fire in the Formosa Strait before participating in any talks about the status of the offshore is lands of Quemoy and Matsu. India w'as reported hopeful of achieving 'a situation under which the firing would stop without any formal agreement. Diplomats call this a "de facto" arrangement. - AMPU$ SEEM Several coeds primping in mir ror of downtown eating place before going to rush parties.

Jordan said the dinner meetings should stimulate the freshman t0 ex amine the activities offered on this campus and 4o arrive at a real ap preciation for lectures and dramatic presentations, for example. He said that only top notch speakers will be at the dinner meetings. , Individuality, of course, is the important purpose of the programs, Jordan said.

Details of the new program were contained in a report released ear lier this year by Fred Weaver, dean of student affairs. Beginning in September the Uni versity hired residence counselors for each floor in five dormitories. The job of these counselor? S IS tO promote an academic atmosphere rather than to discipline the stu- dents. On each floor of Graham,' Stacy, Everett, Aycock and Lewis the res ident counselors are working to promote a generally better atmos phere in the dormitories,, to be come acquainted with the students, to counsel them and to devote themselves to making the dorms a positive factor in the educational program rather than a mere place of lodging. Residence counselors who are students also, are responsible for approximately 30 students each. The relationship between, the stu dent and counselor is one of infor - Three Orchestras Signed For Concerts This Year The famous orchestras of George Melachrino, the Roger Wagner Chorale and Roger Williams will all be in Chapel Hill for concerts during the year.

The counselors have all been trained in , their jobs and duties, which take up at least 20 hours -a week. As compensation for their time and efforts the counselors are assigned private rooms and given 1 S1.250 for expenses Melachrino's orchestra will pre sent a concert Dec. 9. The Roger Wagner Chorale will be here Jan. 30 for a concert. And the well known pianist, Roger Williams, will perform sometime in the spring. In these three programs, Borden said the Student Entertainment Committee (SEC) is appealing to a more semi-classical level than was customary with SEC concerts in I previous" years." The reason for the change to more popular concerts is that the SEC is ceoperating fi nancially with, the Chapel Hill Con cert Series to bring well-known classical artists here. Last year the SEC peid an ad mission fee for each student who attended Chapel Hill Concert Sc ries programs. But this year, the SEC has already turned over a blanket sum of $1,500 to the Con cert Series for student admissions. Five Added To Faculty Of UNC Chemistry Dept.
