' ' ' Elf: . - P - In early November, astronaut-aqua naut Scott Carpenter delivered a lec- ture concerning the new underwater fields being opened up after experimen- tation in Sea Lab III. Approximately 160 interested, scientifically oriented persons were in attendance. Three girls attended. The program consisted of the showing of a film on Sea Lab III and smaller group discussions which follow- ed. A great deal of time was spent on the engineering and biological pro- blems that were overcome by the men in Sea Lab III. The program, though technical in nature was well planned, informative, and made enjoyable by Mr. Carpenter's dry sense of humor.
