  • Thursday, April 17,1969 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 Dr. Pow's Inauguration Set For Next Thursday Space Pioneer To Keynote Speeches Dr. Wernher von Braun, director of the George C. Marshall Space Flight Center of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, will deliver the address at the inauguration of Dr. Alex S. Pow as the sixth president of Western Carolina University. The inauguration convocation will be held at 2 pm, April 24, in Reid Gymnasium, on the Western Carolina campus. Plans for the event were announced today by Jonathan Woody of Waynesville, N.C, chairman of the university board of trustees, and the co- chairman of the inaugural committee, Frank H. Brown Jr., vice president for administration, and Dr. W. Newton Turner, vice president for academic affairs. Dr. von Braun's acceptance of the invitation to address the inauguration convocation will bring to the Cullowhee campus, and to Western North Carolina, the world's foremost authority in the sciences of rocketry and space flight, The convocation will be open to the public. Major activities at the Marshall Center concern the development and use of NASA's large launch vehicles for spcae exploration. Personnel at the center also perform basic research, develop payloads for space flights, and conduct studies of advanced systems for space flight operations. Among the Center's current programs are the Saturn IB and Saturn V launch vehicles for Project Apollo, the nation's manned lunar landing program. The follow-on program, known as Apollo Applications, calls for additional lunar landings, and the conversion of the second (S-IVB) stage of the Saturn I into an earth orbital workshop for three astronauts. Under Dr. von Braun's direction, the Marshall Space Flight Center group has several DR. WERNHER von BRAUN "firsts" In space, including the first nose cone of a ballistic missle to journey Into space ( monkeys Able and Baker); and the launching of Explorer I, the first U.S. earth satellite. The Saturn I was test flown successfully 10 times and the Saturn IB has recorded five successful flights. The country's first Apollo spacecraft was sent into space by a Saturn D3 launch vehicle during the Apollo 7 mission on October 11, 1968. Two unmanned Saturn V vehicles have been successfully launched to date. The third one (Apollo 8), which was launched on December 21,1968, CHESS PLAYERS!

The fourth (Apollo 9) carried three astronauts into a 10-day earth orbital flight Dr. von Braun was awarded a bachelor's degree at the age of 20 by the University of Berlin, Two years later, in 1934, he received his doctorate in physics at the same Institution. In 1930, he joined a group of inventors who constituted the German Society for Space Travel. In 1932 he was employed by the Ordinance Department of the German Government From 1932 until 1937 he was chief of a small rocket development station near Berlin. The liquid-fueled rockets identified as Al, A2, and A3, forerunners of the V2, were developed there. He became technical director of the Peenemuende Rocket Center in 1937. The V2 was developed there. In the closing months of World War II he led more than 100 of his fellow scientists to the West and surrendered to the Allied Powers,. Dr. von Braun came to the U.S. in September, 1945, under contract to the U.S. Army. He directed high altitude firings of captured V2 rockets at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. Later, he became project director of a guided missile development unit at Ft Bliss, Texas, which employed some 120 of his Peenemuende colleagues. In 1950, the entire group was transferred to Redstone Arsenal at Huntsville, Ala., where the Army centered its rocketry activity. Dr. von Braun directed the development of the 200-mile Redstone rocket, which was A- irierica's first large ballistic rocket While part of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency, the von Braun group developed the Jupiter IRBM. The Pershing rocket development program also was initiated by Dr. von CONTINUED PAGE 8, . . /Ke&/efyn/ v2aA<ouJrui/ umiatelkii/u/ Aid tJZaocin/ *-/&e&ia&n/' AjJf/the/ lOni/VetM^' <J^/^ii<jfer^^^/«^!»W^^-^^W^^^^i^/ AZ€'/£uK>'/<yA>lOe>K' The Student Senate invited all Students, Faculty and Staff to attend the Inaugural Ball — April 24 ~ 9:00-1:00 a.m. — University Center Ballroom.
