Our aim will be to develop procedures which will neither impair the function of the materials to bo sterilized, nor disturb their presently established manufacturing procedures." One Such Problem One of the problems, for example, will be to insure that sterilization methods can wipe out any bacteria which might be enclosed in a completed electronic component such as a conductor.

The year-long research and development work is expected to be followed by the test-ing of a small space probe assembled from parts that have been sterilized. "It could then be taken to signed the formidable task of developing ways to decontaminate U.S. space probes to the moon, Mars and Venus. It has received a $160,000 research and development contract from the National Space and Aeronautics Administration to conduct the work. The contract calls for the development of sterilization techniques that that would yield less than a one-in-a-million chance of landing a microbe or spore on another planet.

It is part of the stated policy of the U.S. space program to guard against the possible contamination of other planets by rocket-riding terrestrial organisms. Such contamination, scientists maintain, would confuse any future biological studies Amused by the impasse, Dr. Perkins finally hit upon a solution. He directed the student's attention to a portrait hanging on" the library wall a portrait of the historian himself, presented to him by the university last year.

The student agreed that it constituted sufficient iden tification. sjc sc THEY CALL IT a pride of lions, a covey of quail, a gaggle of geese.

His past campaigns were interesting and full of good issues.

One issue considered quite interesting was when he ran for sheriff in 1937 on a platform urging a 5-cent street car fare. "The Lone Wolf, a former 12th Warder now residing in the 4th Ward, said in case he does not get the nomination friends have urged him to run independently. He said if I decide to run I will run an entire city slate in the November election. If he did, I could draw enough Republican votes to put the Democrats in power." So there!
