PREFLIGHT EXPERIENCE:
Voas Analyzes Space Training

Myerson Explains Goals
O f World Youth Festival

By DONNA ROBINSON
The principal job of the train-
ing program for astronauts is to
produce a man capable of taking
over control of the space'vehicle
If the automatic systems should
fail, Dr. Robert Voas said yester-
day.
Because the astronaut must be
capable of performing well during
his first genuine flight, preflight
training must give him all the ex-
perience necessary.
In a lecture on "Man in Space,"
Voas, a research psychologist with
the National Astronautics and
Space Administration, outlined the
methods and problems involved in
the training of astronauts.
Voas has been associated since
its beginning with Project Mer-
cury, which reached a climax last
February in Lt. Col. John Glenn's
orbital space flight.
The training program which is
Views Ethics
Of Luther
Martin Luther did not practice
what he preached, Prof. O. Hobart
Mowrer said recently.
Prof. Mowrer, of the University
of Illinois psychology department,
viewed the psychological aspects of
Luther's life in a lecture, "Our
Value Crisis and the Protestant
Ethic."
He said that Luther, while ad-
vocating the faith and private
prayer upon which Protestantism
is based, himself practiced stren-
uous work and open confession.
Prof. Mowrer commented that
'Luther saw in the Protestant Ref-
ormation "a chance to expiate his
feelings of personal guilt and in-
feriority by effecting the correc-
tion of the church and placing
himself in danger."
The talk was presented by the
Office of Religious Affairs as part
of its series on "Psychology of Re-
ligion." In the next lecture, Dr.
Henry Raphael Gold, a New York
psychiatrist, will discuss "Psychi-
atry and the World of Faith."

being used in Project Mercury
consists of six areas.
The first part of the program
gives the astronaut a technical
background in the space sciences.
Manual Controls
In the second phase, the astro-
naut learns the various control
systems of the ship. Each system
has both an automatic and a man-
ual control system.
In the event of a malfunction in
the automatic system, the astro-
naut must be able to perceive that
there is failure somewhere and
switch to a substitute system of
control. -1
Third, Voas said, the astronaut
must be exposed to different flight
environments, including unusual
experiences such as weightlessness,
acceleration, reduced pressure,
heat, rotation, tumbling, high lev-
el of carbon dioxide, noise and vi-
bration. Most of these factors have
proven to be fairly minor prob-
lems in flight.
'Quite Successful'
Records of heartbeats during
Glenn's flight and Lt. Alan Shep-
herd's previous one both indicated
that the training program has
been quite successful in simulating
flight experiences, Voas said.
The fourth step, which was con-
cerned with the astronauts' fly-
ing proficiency and physical con-
dition, also presented few problems
for trainers, since previous train-
ing and condition of the men were
usually adequate already.
Learn Tracking
In the fifth phase, the team is'
trained in ground procedures,l
since those who do not actually
go on a particular flight take part
in the tracking of the ship.
Lastly, Voas said, the astronauts
must be prepared to make observa-
tions during the flight to be used
in research in meteorology, astron-
omy and other fields.

About 18,000 college students
and college age workers will gath-
er this summer at the seventh
World Youth Festival for Peace
and Friendship to exchange ideas
and experiences and build inter-
national understanding, Mike My-
erson, chairman of the United
States Festival Committee said re-
cently.
Myerson was on campus to
evolve interest in the Festival and
encourage students to attend. It
will be held in Helsinki, Finland
from July 27 through August 5.
Invitations have been extended
to almost every nation in the
world, and over 140 nations have
agreed to send representatives, he
said.
"The United States is one of the
few countries which is not send-
ing an official delegation. Instead,
Americans will go as individuals.
The Festival Committee is only a
means of coordinating the applica-
tions and insuring that all people

will have housing in Helsinki,"
Myerson explained.
The International Preparatory
Committee, which acts as the over-
all coordinating body for the Fes-
tival, has established a quota of
400 Americans, he said. Each
country has a semi-rigid quota
which allows the IPC to make ap-
proximate accommodations for the
delegates.
The ten-day festival will include
some 800 social, cultural and ath-
letic events, among them sym-
phony concerts, beach parties, in-
Sternational seminars on profes-
sions, peace, automation, agricul-
ture and other pressing problems
common to all countries, Myerson
said.
"The festival is officially apoliti-
cal and no resolutions are passed.
Individuals do of course exchange
political opinions in the course of
the meetings and the informal dis-
cussions which go on all the time,"
he added.
The Festival will be followed by
tours through many European
countries, and while these tours
are not officially part of the Fes-
tival, many students take advan-
tage of the opportunity and the
low cost, Myerson said.
"People go to the Festival for
many reasons: to establish con-
tacts, to exchange ideas, to get
rare stamps or to attend the many
social events. We get together to
try to understand each other," he
added.

Fauri Notes
Social Work
Employment
Job opportunities are plentiful
in social work, Dean Fedele F.
Fauri said recently.
"Graduates of the social work
school each receive an average of
seven or eight job offers. Society
has been creating more and more
positions in social work, and sal-
aries in these posts are definitely
on the upgrade," he said.
Fauri indicated that little or no
agency experience is necessary for
certain jobs and the starting sal-
ary is about $6,500.
He also pointed out that funds
from scholarships and grants are
becoming increasingly available.
Fauri estimated that two-thirds of
the full time social work students
were receiving aid in some form.
The bulk of these funds comes
from non-University sources, in-
cluding the National Institute of
Mental Health, the Office of Vo-
cational Education and the state
welfare departments of Michigan,
New York and several other mid-
western states.
