In Division B action, the Saints
salvaged a slim one point victory
over the Desert Campus Pioneers,
57-56.
With the score 42-41 in favor of
the Saints going into the fourth
quarter, both teams scored 15
points to give the Saints the nod in
a hard-fought duel. Four players
hit double figures for the Pioneers,
but it was not enough. Les
Bazemore tiwed in 17, Kev Keith
followed with 13 points, Leo
Enriquez managed to tally 11
points, and Neil Hicks hit 10
counters.
The Cerro Coso cagers had a
scare earlier in the week when the

together after a brilliant first half.
Mer tying the score at 29-29 when
the halftime whisUe sounded, the
height and speed of the campus

Building 982 preVIously was used
as the Public Works Department's
transportation maintenance fac-
ility. The move into it by Engin-
eering and Contract Division per-
sonnel was made necessary when
it was decided to shift the Tech-
nical Library from Michelson
Laboratory to Building 37, a two-
story barracks-like structure
located on Blandy Ave. and Hussey
Rd.
Relocating the Technical lib-
rary will free much-needed space
for laboratory functions at Mich-
elson Lab and is part of a series of
changes brought about by the
move to China Lake of employees
and projects formerly assigned to
NWC's Corona Annex.
All of the design and construction
work connected with the remod-
eting of Building 982 has been
acCOOlPlished within the Public
Works Department, Sorbo stated.
"We have experimented with a
lightweightceiling that negates the
requirement for a second fire
protection system, and bave
utilized the building's lights as a
primary heating system," Sorbo
continued.
SiIty per cent of the beat for the
building will be gained from the
lights, which will be left on around
the clock during the winter season,
One daily round trip flight,
Monday through Friday, by the
Hughes Air West airline from Los
Angeles International Airport to
the Kern County airport at
Inyokern and back, is scheduled to
be resumed on Monday, March 13.
According to infonnation rec-
eived at the Joint AIr Military
Traffic Office (JAMTO), Air West
will have an employee on the job at
Inyokern starting this Monday,
and serice (halted by a strike in
mid-December) will be resumed a
week later.
The schedule of operations calls
for a northbound flight (No. 4(6) to
leave L.A. International at 3:30
p.m. and arrive at Inyokern
airport at 4:33 p.m. The return
flight (No. 5(7) will leave Inyokern
at 4:45 p.m. and arrive in Los
Angeles at 5:45. Both the north and
southbound flights will make brief
stops at Palmdale.
How much longer Air West will
provide this weekday service
between Los Angeles and Inyokern
is uncertain. On Feb. 18 the air line
filed a brief with the Civil
Aeronautics Board stating that it
does not desire to prosecute the
application for renewal of its
authority to serve Inyokern
airport.

Work Progresses On
New Addition to Lab
Work on the construction of an
addition to Michelson Laboratory,
to be known as the Systems
Analysis and Computer Labor-
atory, is now a little more than 20
per cent complete, according to
information obtained from the
office of Capt. W. H. Sturman, the
Resident Officer-in-Charge-of-
Construction.
Workmen for the Cardan Co. of
Los Angeles, successful bidder on
the $1,455,600 project, have placed
concrete for the basement floor
and walls, as well as for a portion
of the main floor of the single-story
building that will provide an
additional 25,000 sq. ft. of floor
space for NWC's technical facil-
ities.
As of last week, concrete also
had been placed for a fourth of the
building's tilt-up walls. At the
same time, work is progressing on
the installation of underground
utilities, including plwnbing work,
electric power lines and telephone
connections.
Estimated completion date of the
Systems Analysis and Computer
Laboratory is next December. It
will house the Univac computer as
well as peripheral equipment and
related scientific data computation
and reduction functions. In
addition, analog computers and
simulation equipment will be
moved to the new building from

Mine Fire Brings Call for Aid -
By Ground Search, Rescue Team
Training in the use of seif-
contained breathing apparatus,
which several members of the
Indian Wells Valley Ground Search
and Rescue Team received on
Thursday of last week at the Naval
Weapons Center, may be put into
use as early as tomorrow.
That's the word from Gary Peek,
lieutenant in charge d. under-
ground search and rescue oper-
ations, who was one of three mem-
bers of the local ground rescue
team to be called out last
Saturday to inspect an abandoned
mine shaft in wfucb a fire has
broken out. The mine is located
along the northern tip of Piute Mt.,
in the vicinity of Weldon.
At the time that Peek, Fred
Camphausen and Sam Wyatt had a
chance to look over the old mine, a
fire far down in the 100-ft.-deep
shaft had been smouldering for
three days. The latest word (at
mid-week) was that smoke was
continuing to emerge periodically
from the mine shaft, despite the
fact that 60,000 gallons of high
expansive foam had been pwnped
into the mine in an effort to snuff
out the fire.
"If the Sheriff's Department
wants us to, we'll send men down to
check it out," Peek said in
reference what may be coming up
tomorrow.
A report regarding the mine
shaft fire and the possible need for
volunteers from the IWV Ground
Search and Rescue Team to have a
look at it was received here last
Friday, just a day after eight
members underwent instruction
given by two men from the U.S.
Bureau of Mines in the use of a new
kind of seif-
