CULTURAL ADDITION — President Norman Topping

By SUSAN KUENSTLER
“We want the cream of the crop." said Dean Raymond Kendall of the School of Music today at the dedication of the Mrs. Willis H. Booth Memorial Hall.
And all the speakers present seemed to think the facilities provided by Booth Memorial Hall would enable USC t.o train aptly those students considered the cream of the crop in the performing arts.
Booth Memorial Hall is the first-completed unit of the planned Center for the Performing Arts which is another part of USC’s Master Plan. The multi-million dollar complex and the academic disciplines involved — “Cinema, drama, music, and telecommunications—will be able to give more to cultural life at the University and to enhance the life of our community as well,’’ said Dr. Norman Topping at the building's dedication program.
The brick building, designed by William L. Pereira, provides facilities for the USC
bands and orchestras to rehearse, study, store instruments. and for individuals to practice their instruments.
William Payne, president of the School of Music student body, said this coordination of facilities will be most beneficial to students with busy schedules who will appreciate not having to trek back and forth among many different buildings, as in the past.
The main part of Booth Hall is a two-story hexagonal structure, decorated inside in shades of white and charcoal. The building is air conditioned and fluorescent-liglited throughout.
The other part of the building is one-story high, and consists of offices and small studios.
Booth Hall was financed hy the Booth Ferris Foundation of New York and named after the late Mrs.. Willis H. Booth, a onetime Los Angeles musician. She and her husband were both “devoted patrons of the arts and education in Los Angeles for many years," said Dr. Topping.

MANNED MOON SHOT 3 YEARS OFF
r,y MAin <.aki;ik
Editor
The idea of a trip to the moon is probably as old as man himseif. Books have been written about it. comic strips have been (rcatcd and scientists have speculated as to just how this leal mipht be accomplished.
But until man’s now man’s limited knowledge about 1 ravel in space has kept him confined to his own planet and hr has had to bp content with exploration of 1 lie earth.
But this dream of landing a man on lhe moon is only three years away and in many aspects it is already a reality.
Life Magazine flew myself and L’3 other college editors to Cape Kennedy last weekend to view the Gemini 7 launch, hut the trip turned out to be much more extensive than that.
'I'lie people from the National Aero-
nautics and Space Administration, from the Air Force and from Life Magazine are tremendously enthusiastic about the activities going on at the Cape, and they imparted their enthusiasm to us by showing us the efforts that are going into making the Saturn-Apollo launch to thc moon a succcss.
Thc actual facilities for sending two men to the moon in 19fifi are nearly completed. In planning for these facili ties the men of NASA faced huge problems in part unrelated to the Saturn-Apollo rocket itself.
The Saturn-Apollo will be approximately 10 times larger than the Gemini 7 launched Saturday. Because the weather at Cape Kennedy is so damp, a huge building was needed in which to assemble the Saturn-Apollo spacecraft. To solve this problem they have constructed a huge vehicle assembly building, occupy

ing eight acres of land and rising 525 feet into the air. The four story launch control center, connected to the vehicle assembly building, is also completed.
The vehicle assembly building is deceiving Jrom the outside. Because there is no other building near it and because it stands on very flat terrain it doesn't look huge enough to cover eight acres. Only until we moved inside and crained onr necks to look straight up 525 feet did we realize how large it was.
Although! NASA then had a place to assemble thc Saturn-Apollo, they faced another problem: how to move the Satinn-Apollo, together with its launch platform, from the building to the launch site.
A huge crawler-transpot ter was created to perform the task. The top of this transporter is as large as a baseball diamond, ft weighs 5-and one-half mil-
lion pounds and ran lift and carry U million pounds. Twelve men will operate the vehicle when it carries th^ Saturn-Apollo and the launcher to the launcn pad in
The launch pad itesll is tic^rl ocm-lileted. A huge trench, 50-feet Wide is lined with a special material to withstand the heat from the hlasloff It 1 equipped with a special escape hatch leading from the capsule to an under ground room built especially withstand any forcc created hv the Safurr.-Apolio if it should blow up.
The college editors, including myself, were amazed that so much has already been completed on a project still three years away.
We were convinced that, by it‘7o man will have realized his dream to land on the moon and will be planning other explorations into spa: e.
