Admission of students directly
from high school into the Univer-
sity's pharmacy college was ap-
proved by the Regents June 12.
The change will take place in
the fall of 1960 at the same time
the college changes the degree re-
quirements in pharmacy from
four to five years.
The five-year program original-
ly had been planned to include
one year in the literary college
and the next four in the phar-
macy college.
Major curriculum changes in-
clude the provision of more elec-
tive courses in general education,
lightening the study load of the
student to an average of 15.4
hours per semester instead of the
present figure of almost 17 hours
a semester, and the beginning of
pharmacy courses in the fresh-
man year.

A shift in the mission of United
States air defense apparently is in
the making.
The new "master plan" for con-
tinental air defense, as explained
to the Senate Army Services
Committee last week, proposes
stepped-up spending on an anti-
missile missile. It cuts planned ex-
penditures on the Nike-Hercules
and the Bomarc missiles, both of
which are designed for defense
against attacking aircraft.
One of the ironies in the deci-
sion is that it came as the after-
math of a bitter inter-service
squabble over the relative merits
of the Army's Nike-Hercules and
the Air Force's Bomarc. Propon-
ents of each of these weapons
wanted thespending program for
the other cut.
Finance Development
The upshot of the debate was
the Defense Department's deci-
sion to cut back funds for both,
and put more money into devel-
opment of the Nike-Zeus, a wea-
pon its backers hope will be
capable of killing an incoming
missile far out in space.
Some senators remain highly
critical of the nation's air defense
system. Sen. Henry M. Jackson
(D-Wash.), a frequent critic of
administration defense policies,
called the new plan ridiculous.
Sen. Stuart Symington (D-Mo.)
said the revised plan "at best is
but a compromise effort to satis-
fy each of the quarreling services.
It guarantees further waste of bil-
lions of dollars."
The present defense system is
equipped to protect the nation
against long-range bombers. The
warning system could detect them
in time for the fighter planes to
rise and Nike units already ring-
ing the nation's strategic areas to
be ready.
But against missiles, the warn-

lower level

ing would be short and the de-
fense uncertain.
Unit by unit, this is how the
North American defense system
is now constituted (see accom-
panying map):
The Distant Early Warning
(DEW) Line, a system of inter-
locking radar stations, stretches
from its western terminus at the
tip of the Aleutian Islands, north-
ward to the Arctic Circle and then
eastward to Baffin Island. Exten-
sion of the DEW Line across
Greenland was assured with, the
award of the necessary contracts
last March 10.
Ship and plane radar picket
lines link the western end of the
DEW Line with the Hawaiian Is-
lands and fill the eastern gap be-
tween Greenland and Iceland.
Several Lines
South of the DEW Line is the
Mid-Canada Line, another system
of interlocking radar units. And
still further south, along the
northern border of the United
States, is the Pine Tree Line with
an extension down the West Coast
and several "Texas Tower" radar
stations off the East Coast.
To give more adequate warning
against ballistics missiles, the Air
Force is constructing the Ballistic
Missile Early Warning System
(BMEWS) at a cost of one bil-
lion dollars.
These powerful radar stations,
one at Clear, Alaska, and the
other at Thule, Greenland, will
have a 3,000-mile range and will
be capable of picking up Russian
Flemming
To Talk Here
On Thursday
Arthur S. Flemming, United
States secretary of health, educa-
tion, and welfare will address a
National Leadership Training In-
stitute at the University Thurs-
day.
The Institute is being held in
conjunction with plans for the
1961 White House Conference on
the Aging, June 24-26.
Flenming's topic has not yet
been announced. He will speak at
8 p.m. in the Union Ballroom.
Immediately afterward, a panel,
including news executives and a
public relations counselor, will
discuss "Achieving Effective Pub-
lic Relations."
Panel members will i n c 1 u d e
Ralph McGill, of the Atlanta
Constitution; Margaret Hickey, of
the Ladies Home Journal; Theo-
dore F. Koop, director of public
affairs of the Columbia Broad-
casting System; and Ludwig Cam-
inata Jr., of Sessions & Camin-
ata, Washington, D.C., public re-
lations consultants.
Group Heads
Reappointed
Reappointment of five chair-
men, in the departments of the
natural resources school was ap-
proved by the Regents June 12.
Named for three-year terms
were: Prof. Stanley A. Cain, con-
servation department; Prof. War-
ren W. Chase, wildlife manage-
ment; Prof. Kenneth P. Davis,
forestry; Prof. Karl F. Lagler,
fisheries; and Prof. Stephen B.
Preston, wood technology.

ICBM missiles five minutes after
they are launched. These stations
will be ready for operation next
year.
An ICBM would require about
30 minutes to reach a target in
the United States. BMEWS would
give the President, or whoever
had the decision to make, about
20 minutes to decide whether a
counterattack should be launched.
Work on Device
There is evidence in congres-
sional testimony that the United
States is working on an instru-
ment that could detect when the
Russians have a missile on the
pad ready for launching. How-
ever, no details have been made
public.
Coordinating the system of
warning devices is the Semi-auto-
matic Ground and Environment
System (SAGE), now under con-
struction. When completed there
will be 29 SAGE centers in the
United States.
The mission of this fantastical-
ly complex interlinking, of radar,
electronic computers and com-
munications systems will be the
lightning-swift gathering of in-
formation on approaching air-
craft or missiles and the equally
swift control of intercepting'
planes and missiles.
SAGE will be tied in with head-
quarters at Colorado Springs.
