(Journal Details On Balloon Flight Show 80 Minutes Critical Most critical moments of a record breaking balloon flight from Strato Bowl, 10 miles south of Rapid City, will come during the first 80 minutes of flight, Capt.

M. L. Lewis and M. D. Ross will come during actual takeoff as the balloon ascends at the rate of about 700 to 800 feet per! minute.

During takeoff a Navy helicopter will be nearby to assist if possible and other safety plans are made, During the first 35 minutes of flight while an artificial atmosphere is being established a decision be made whether the flight be modified to a lower will altitude or in an extreme case abandoned, Barr said. For the first 80 minutes of flight the balloon is expected to be in the troposphere the body of air nearest the earth where clouds, convection currents and most other er weather activity occurs. Critical Moment One of the most critical moments of the entire flight will come then the balloon passes from the troposphere into the atmosphere. Until the stratosphere is reached between 30,000 and 000 feet the temperature decreases about three degrees per 1,000 feet. At stratosphre, level, an increase of is possible which can make the plastic balloon expand rapidly.

Dated. 195 Signature Street City and State All members were present with the exception of Secretary of the Board Amos Groethe who is attending the South Dakota Education Association in Sioux Falls. Dean of Students at the School of Mines L. R.

Palmerton discussed general deficiencies of students enrolling for engineering courses. The purpose of Palmerton's comments was to provide example to school board members of varying star.dards of education and how they effect the student attempting higher education. It was pointed lout that 70 per cent of all students. enrolling at the Mines have academic deficiencies of some kind, but no students are refused admission on the basis of correctable deficiencies alone, Correcting academic lacks places a necessary but unfortunate burden upon students, instructors and the school. In a breakdown of academic handicaps Palmerton said 52 per cent of enrollees have bad no solid geometry, 30 per cent are deficient in English, 23 per cent need make-up work in physics and 22 per cent are lacking in requirements for chemistry.

Further discussion pertained specifically to Douglas District Number Three, encompassing the school areas at Ellsworth AFB. Motion was made and passed that the district be redesignated to include only federal areas, roughly 20 per cent of the present district. The motion was amended to make changes of exact boundaries to encompass about half of Section 17. Purpose of District Three redesignation is to enable best possible school administration and facilities possible for students who are about 90 per cent federally connected and whose situations are largely transient. County Board Chairman Emil Christenson directed letters be prepared for boards in Meade and Custer Counties clarifying Pennington County master plans for reorganization.

Previous mention of reorganization plans, part of which might possibly include distract areas located partly in the other two counties, stirred up neediess controversy, according to board member Louis Bober. Board members expressed specitic wish that the public take a "more active part" in the controversial matter of school district reorganization. There have been practically no requests for information on proposed plans and few attended the first hearing when preparation of master plans was proposed. Enlightened discussion a and consideration is essential if efficiency is to be attained, according to board members. Publie hearings regarding the proposed plans for school district redesignation will be scheduled before the first of the year.
