Jet Base Ups Enrollment
One of the nation’s major rocket manufacturers, located near Homestead, is calculated to put a shot in the arm of the University of Miami Research Program.
Dr. Eugene Man, director of the program, pointed out that Aero-jet-Gen-eral will “stimulate our development into a scientific community by bringing high-ranking scientists into the area.
“The Internatonal Research Center, to be located one mile north of South Campus, will undoubtedly boost enrollment at UM,” he said.
Dr. Man linked the goals of the center and Aero-jet sayjng that they both aim to “affect a workable relationship between science and industry.”
Dr. Man also indicated that neither industry nor research desires “to be in a vacuum.”
The location of these two centers will further stimulate the attraction for other industries. These other industries might include electronics, chemicals, engineering, and other research programs.
Asked about government research and industry in this area, Dr. Man said that the location and attraction would be ideal for such a plan.
Dr. Man concluded by saying that the University is expected to add courses needed by the technicians. “Graduates wilt have a good chance to obtain jobs with rocket manufacturers.”
BE Week Begins Sunday — To Promote Question
By MARILYN WILSON
The traditional Religious Emphasis Week will begin Sunday and last through Thursday.
Focus will center on Religion and its place in colleg-
iate life.
Dr. Lynn Bartlett, coordinator of the women’s residence halls and faculty chairman of Religious Emphasis Week, explained it as “fundamentally an opportunity for students and members of the faculty to deepen their religious experiences."
“We also hope that through some of the fine speakers being brought in, other students who are not committed in their religious faith may he encouraged to ask questions
and pursue reading on valid religious experiences.” she added.
The faculty and students along with all religious leaders on campus have been cooperating completely in order to make the coming event a success.
Many outside lecturers will speak on campus in addition to 17 UM faculty members. The week will consist of religious lectures, banquets, panel discussions, musical compositions and paintings.

Sustaining lleticf
Note From Dr. Pearson
In these uncertain days of 1962, which are as truly times that try men’s souls as the times so described by a great American patriot during the years of our nation’s birth nearly two centuries ago, I feel that we must continually emphasize religion.
For it is our religion, our belief in God, that sustains our souls through the trials they encounter today, just as belief in the Divine power sustained our forefathers through the trials of forming our United States as "one nation under God."
Again, at the University of Miami we are celebrating Religious Emphasis Week. In so doing we are carrying on devoutly our institution's high tradiUon of focusing our attention on the supreme importance of the spiritual in our human life. During this week that is set apart for this purpose we welcome piritual leaders to our campus.
The special purpose of this week, however, is not set apart. It is to bring into sharp focus the never-ceasing emphasis that is placed on religion in the University of Miami, every week. It is to remind all of us—and all interested in our University —that religion is an inseparable part of our day-by-day activities.We have a department of religion which offers courses full of spiritual meaning. Our library's shelves contain many books which offer a wide variety of information to the student of religious beliefs

and philosophies. On our campus are several student religious centers.
Now as we join together to celebrate religious emphasis week. I Ms^* to’express my wholehearted^ppreciatiop of the leadership, and efforCwhich faculty aijd student groups are constantly devoting tg the fostering of tTli^kms activities on our campys. ^
—Jay F. W. Pearson
