Spectrum Study Highlighted
By JERRY REILLY
(Special to the State Press)

ASU’s chemistry depart­
ment will take the spot­
light this month with two
spectroscopy courses direct­
ed by Dr. Jacob Fuchs, di­
rector of modern industrial
spectroscopy at ASU.
> THE THIRD a n n u a l
course in Infrared and Ul­
traviolet Absorption Spec­
troscopy will end today and
the eighth annual course
in Modern Industrial Spec­
troscopy will run from Au­
gust 19 to 30.
Spectroscopy for the lay­
man is the science dealing
wity the use of the spec­

troscope in examining the
spectrum of the light or ra­
diation from any source.
The t w o spectroscopy
courses are designed for
chemists and others from
industrial laboratories who
make use of -spectrophotometric . (photometric com­
parisons between parts- of
spectra) equipment.
THE INTENSIVE course
of lectures, laboratory ex­
periments" and discussion
periods help to train per­
sonnel to staff spectroscopy
laboratories.
Lectures in the morning
are devoted to the funda­
mentals of spectroscopy, inc 1u d i ng instrumentation

and application of the var
ious techniques.
Afternoon1laboratory ex­
periments give students
concentrated practice in
the use of a wide range of
industrial instrumentation.
BESIDES members of
XSU’s d e p a r t m e n t s of
chemistry and p h y s i c s ,
guest speakers from indust­
rial laboratories will aug­
ment the lectured Techni­
cal personnel from manu­
facturers of spectrographic
equipment assist in labora­
tory instruction.
Equipment available includes spectrographs . and
spectrometers of all types
for ' students who wish to

inquire further into their
own fields of interest.
Both men and women are
eligible for admission to
courses. No academic credit
is given upon completion of
thè courses, although a cer­
tificate showing completion
is presented to each stu­
dent.
TUITION for the twoweek course in Industrial
Spectroscopy is $200. Ap­
plications must be turned
in before Aug. 1Ò. Admis­
sion is limited to approxi­
mately 30 students.
The University will fur­
nish a summary of the stu­
dent’s work to his supervi­
sor upon request.

Floating Lab
Zoologist Schedules Cruise
Louis DiSalvo, ASU zoology major, will begin a
three-month “Adventures in Paradise” cruise Sept. 21.
DiSalvo and 12 other American university students
have been selected to sail on the Te Vega, the threemasted schooner of television’s “Adventures in Para­

dise” which has been re­
fashioned into a seagoing mar­
ine biology classroom.
TO MAKE the.journey even
more exciting, DiSalvo plans to
explore the resources in Hono­
lulu, Manila, Bangkok, Thai­
land and Ceylon before board­
ing the Te Vega in Singapore’.
From Singapore the floating
lab will sail for the tropical
shores and shallow waters of
the uncharted and relatively
unexplored islands in the In­
dian Ocean.
While cruising through the
mysterious waters, DiSalvo will
serve as the schooner’s chemist
and a scuba diver for marine
life.
WHEN HIS duties on the Te
Vega finish Dec. 21, DiSalvo
will venture into the lands of
Ceylon for a cobra hunt.
The cobra expedition will be
a new adventure for DiSalvo

f
although he has hunted Arizona
rattlesnakes.
“The cobra is slower,” he
said. “It has very poor eyesight
and it strikes differently. In
fact, it is possible to dodge its
strike.” —HOWEVER, he added, t h e
cobra still kills more than 20,000 persons a year.
DiSalvo stands to make some
money 9 6 the cobra hunt if he
catches any. A Missouri reptile
house has offered. $25 a foot for
all cobras he brings back.
DiSalvo will receive a $150
grant from the National Sci­
ence Foundation for the Indian
Ocean cruise and 15 graduate
credits in biological oceano­
graphy to apply to his doctorate
work at ASU.

By BOB REILLY

The military pay raise, pass­

this week, is a step in the fight
direction in keeping officers and
higher grade enlisted men in
the worthy service of their
country.
But the college trained- in­
ductee was overlooked. Why?
Is it not he who will play. a

Sun' Devils Henry Carr, Ulis
Williams and Frank Covelli
have displayed their successful
skill against Russia, Poland,
Germany and Great Britain.
COMPETITION has moved
to Olympic Stadium in Stock­
holm, Sweden, this week.
Arizona State’s three team­
mates made their finest show­
ing last week against West
Germany where the U.S. track­
sters won with a lopsided 14182 score.
Carr burned the track with a
history-making 44.3 clocking in
his 400-meter relay lap of the
1,600-meter relay. Williams ran
a 46.4 lap to aid the team’s
3:02.8 win.
A JAVELIN throw of 264
feet, 9% inches won a first
place for Covelli against the
Germans. Monday, in London,
Covelli threw a shorter 251 feet,
10% inches but "still won first
place.
Carr won the 220-yard sprint
against the British in 20.9 as he
glanced over his shoulder to
boost teammate Paul Drayton
in for second place.

skills must integrate with tac­
tics?
HOW MUCH longer can we
avoid the fact that the services
are losing too many skilled men
because of insufficient pay and
treatment.
As it now stands, the bill says
men with less than two years
of service and under the grade
of E-4 will not benefit from the
pay increase.
All inductees serve two years
or less and mosi never obtain
the rank of E-4.- From the mo­
ment the men put . on the uni­
form they havé a bitter dis­
taste for the military who put
them under financial strain.
They are; the last to receive
housing and the .allotted sub­
sistance places them in the cat­
egory of welfare cases.
AT FORT GORDON, Georgia,
a college trained comnqunications technician is assigned to
live and perform the same ex­
tra duties as a truck .driver or.
cook’s helper. The college rÀàn
spent at least '16 years prepar­
ing for his vocation but yet to
him, hè is treated the same as
the soldier who spent just eight
or IQ years acquiring formal
education.
Our trained man is expected
to rise about five in the morn­
ing in non-combat duty and
report to a sergeant, who is as-

signed to make sure no one- de­
serted in the night.
ABOUT ONCE every three
weeks the soldier below E-5 is
placed on kitchen police and
often abused by the cooks be­
cause of his distaste for wash­
ing pots and pans for 14 hours.
Most men understand that
kitchen police can be an effect­
ive training method dining the
induction period. But the hos­
tility arises when the individual
is permanently assigned. Men
live in anxiety watching the
board, hoping their names will
not appear on “the duty list.”
Some officers claini that
“exempt from duty personnel”
causes low morale, but this Is
not true. For years athletes in
the service have received pre­
ferred treatment and conditions
remained normal.
WE ARE THE wealthiest na­
tion on earth; we can afford the
pay increase. Millions in aid afe
spent abroad each year. Some
claim that just as much is wast­
ed as used. The increase in pay
for the struggling private can
be made a reality.
If the services Want to keep
its highly trained enlisted per­
sonnel, it will have to give them
preferred treatment over men
less skilled.. It is a reality in
civilian life. It cgn become a
reality in military life.
