U of A Will Hold Summer
Science Training Program
For High School Students
COLLEGE — The National
Science Foundation of Washing
ton, D.C., has announced a grant j
of $18,245 to the University of
Alaska. The funds are in support
of a summer training program for I
high school students who demon- !
strate potential and interest in be- ,
coming scientists. The university
has participated in setting up the
summer institutes since the NSF
initiated the idea five years ago.
Dr. Wm. Wilson, head of the uni- |
versity’s Dept, of Chemistry and
Chemical Engineering, will ad
minister and direct the program.
According to Dr. Wilson, the ob
jectives of the “Summer Science
Training Program” are to identify
those high school students who
possess high ability in the sciences
and to aid in their scholarly growth
by giving them an opportunity to
study under recognized scientists.
A third goal of the program is to
foster cooperation between colleges
and high schools by “stepping up”
education in the sciences.
Dr. Wm. R. Wood, president of
University of Alaska states that,
“We are pleased to work with the
Foundation again this year in set
ting up this experimental pro
gram, designed to gauge the value
that research participation or ad
vanced courses taught by college
faculty members can hold for sec
ondary school students.”

Venus’ Surface Believed
To Be Too Hot for Life
| WASHINGTON M* — Venus’
surface is some 800 degrees Fah
renheit — too hot for life as known
on earth. That report from space
explorer Mariner II’s close - up
look last December was announced
Tuesday by the U.S. Space Agency.
Venus, the earth’s nearest neigh
bor. is also covered by a dense
layer of below’ zero clouds high
in the planet's atmosphere, the
Mariner data showed.
At the center, Mariner found
cloud temperatures at about 30 de
grees below zero — but the data
is not yet certain, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion said.
Mariner's heat-sensitive eyes also
spied a peculiar spot in the clouds
aver the southern hemisphere of
the planet. This spot was some 20
degrees colder than the rest of
the cloud layer.
It could mean that there is some
lidden surface feature below the
douds that causes this strange tem
acrature variation.
Mariner found essentially no dif
ference in temperatures between
the sunlit and darkened sides of
the planet. Nor could Mariner’s
instruments detect — within their
capability — any carbon monixide
layer above the clouds, as had been
suggested in some earlier specu
lation.
