Lindsay, Class of 1940, visited Guilford's campus on March 10, just three days after tak ing part in a major U. S. space achievement. Employed as a re search physicist by the National Aeronautical Space Administration, Dr. Lindsay and his associates put into orbit a satellite designed to obtain measurements from the sun for a statistical analysis for predict ing solar flares. The OSO-1 (orbiting solar ob servatory) was launched at 11:06 a.m. on March 7 from the Atlantic Missile Range at Cape Canaveral. The orbital shot was powered by the Douglas Thor Delta booster in its seventh successive launch. The 450-lb. satellite has a 96-minute functioning period and is orbiting at an altitude ranging from a mini mum of 340 miles to a maximum of 370 miles. The satellite, which has an anticipated active lifetime in AFSC Announces Summer Projects A series of summer work and study projects sponsored by the American Friends Service Com mittee, the Friends Service Council of London, and the Committee of Youth Organizations of the Soviet Union will be launched this sum mer. The American Friends Service Committee announced that the first work camp will be held in England in the summer of 1962. In follow ing years similar projects will be held in the Soviet Union and in the United States. Participants in the work camps will be involved in community serv ice and time will be provided for discussions and trips. The camps will be held for three or four weeks during July and August. American participants will have the oppor tunity to attend other work camps during the summer. The fee for the project will be S6OO which includes transportation, maintenance, insurance, orientation, and participation in one additional work camp during the same sum mer. The AFSC announced that young men and women over age 20 are (Continued on page 2, column 5) orbit of six months, collects data for ninety minutes and transmits this data back to earth during the other six minutes of each orbit. With the data received from this satellite, a greater knowledge of the sun's com position, earth-sun relationships, and other celestial phenomena are expected. During his visit here, Dr. Lind say spoke to a physics class of Dr. Purdom, his former professor. He showed slides of the OSO-1 and ex plained the operation, missions, and expected accomplishments of the satellite. Dr. Lindsay and his wife, both Guilford graduates and Guilford physics majors, were here to visit their son John, a freshman this year. John, a third generation Guilford ian, is also a physics major. The Lindsays have two other children, Clifford, 15, and Terry, 13, future Guilford scientists. Peace Corps Observe First Anniversary The Peace Corps is one year old this month. Created by Executive Order, March 1, 1961, with Sargent Shriver as director, the Peace Corps be came a permanent agency through Congressional action last Septem ber. From more than 18,0(X) appli cants, the Peace Corps has select ed, trained and sent overseas 698 volunteers, now living and working in 12 countries. Every one of these countries has asked for more volunteers. In addition, 20 other countries have requested help from the Peace Corps. By August, over 5,000 vol unteers are sclieduled to be over seas or in training. Many countries have requested more volunteers than the Peace Corps can now supply. Peace Corps applicants come from every state in the Union, plus Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and Guam. Of the 888 volunteers now in training or overseas, about one third are women.

Dana Auditorium, under the competent managership of Professor Donald Deagon. The festival, which started yesterday, March 22, is scheduled to conclude tonight at 9:30. This festival will consist of dra matic clubs from both colleges and Operation Abolition Received With Mixed Emotions Never before had the History Club experienced the sincere inter est of so many non-History majors! On Wednesday night, March 14, 1962, Mr. J. J. Fenton of Mebane, North Carolina, presented the film entitled "Operation Abolition." The purpose of the film was to point out the methods used by the American Communist Party to hinder and dis rupt the work of the House's un- American Activities Committee. The program was climaxed by mixed emotions, hasty remarks, and a thorough discussion by the audi ence, dwelling upon the subject of how "un-American" this type of film was. The over-all conclusion drawn by the observers was that there is no place in our Constitu tional system for the slanted, mis represented chaos of the riots in 1960 by Southern Cal students. Their protest was directed at the "un-Americanism" of the House of Representatives' Un-American Ac tivities Committee. No proof was observed that the Communist Party organized the protest. Only police brutality on the students and the (Continued on page 2, column 5) high schools in this region of North Carolina.

Mr. Frans Reynders, a mime, spoke in convocation on March 16. Although Mr. Reynders is now a resident of New Jersey, he is origi nally from Amsterdam, Holland. Professionally he is a free lance artist in all senses of the word costume and scenery designer and art director for the theater, motion pictures, and television; sculptor, classical guitarist, and art teacher. He tours this country about four months of the year. On his present tour, which terminated here at Guilford, Mr. Reynders performed for various colleges including Paine in Georgia, and Lenoir Rhyne and Belmont Abbey in North Carolina. In his convocation speech, the mime gave a brief introduction to the art of pantomime for his per formance that evening. Mr. Reyn ders feels that pantomime is a universal mode of expression for human experiences, both simple and complex. Because of its univer sality, the most important frame of reference is childhood. Therefore, his repertoire is mainly composed of situations experienced by chil dren, such as fear, love, hunger, and butterflies and bumblebees. At the evening performance Mr. Reynders explained that the mime differs from both the dancer and the actor in that the mime's medi um is more realistic than the others. Neither the dancer nor the actor is hampered with the unpredictable (Continued on page 2, column 3) Number 8
