wiryearoTEditorial Freedom Salt Lake City, Utah, Monday, December 7, 1964 Number 50 Pres. Fletcher Speaks To Campus ROTC On Com mo Satellites i I toaw. Aim I Mmr-tnn- President James C. Fletcher addressed thecombined Army, Navy and Air Force ROTC units Friday in Orson Spencer Hall. Communications satellites was the subject ofthe lecture which was hosted by the Army and attended by some 650 cadets, midshipman, sponsors and cadre officers.

PRES. FLETCHER, has been personally involved in the United States' effort to orbit communications satellites since theidea was first conceived. THE IDEA of an orbiting relay station was first proposed just after World War II asan answer to the problem of how to transmit TV signals across the nation. IN 1956, BOTH the United States and Russia proposed to orbitsatellites as part of the International Geophysical year. Thisled to Russia's famous Sputnik andthe U.S.

reply, which Dr. Fletcher pointed out, was just a stunt with no real scientific or military significance. Later projects included Project Echo, the giant passive reflector balloon launched by in cooperation with the government, a scheme by the military for a completely secure (i.e. in code incapable of being broken) world wide communications setup, and several schemes for about 15 low altitude satellites whichwould provide direct, instantaneous, intercontinental communications. THE TYPE of satellite Dr.

Fletcher was most concerned is a synchronous satellite, orone which orbits at the same speed which theearth turns and in the same direction so it remains directly above the same spot on theearth all of the time. Thesemi public corporation, Comsat which was set up by President Kennedy is working with this type of project. IN ORDER for the centrifugal force of the orbiting speed of a synchronous satellite to equal the pull of gravity on it, the satellite must orbit at a distance of about 25,000 miles. This leadsto problems in getting a strong signal back to earth over that great distance. THESE PROBLEMS can be solved, said Pres.

Fletcher by adjusting the satellite's antennas so that they beamthe signal directly onto the earth, thereby conserving the power of the signal. All this demands extremely sophisticated equipment. In projecting the i i i cance of communications satellites, Pres. Fletcher spoke of the possibility of direct person to person communications among the entire world population. HE ILLUSTRATED the possible military significance by relating the importance of communications in the Golf ofTonkin last summer.

gYU Universe Scolded By Acting Prexy I Young The Brigham student newspaper, Daily Universe," has been repr- iced by acting BYU Presi-Jen- or. Earl C. Crockett for its editorial stand on the return L.

Cigarette Sales Suspended On U. of Washington Campus SEATTLE (CPS) A school of medicine letter recommending suspendingcigarette sales is being circulated to departmental advisory boards by the University of Washington's business office. SO FAR ONLY the schoolof medicine has banned cigarette sales in its buildings.

The student union advisory board decided to keep selling cigarettes there three weeks ago. The university's assistant busi- ness manager, Tom Hutchinson, said the next stop forthe traveling recommendation is the school's dorms. THE DORMITORY advisory board will beasked to decide whether or notto suspend cigarette sales there when it is presented to them.
