But the most recent addition of a foreign language requirement brought the situation to a head, according to James Adams, head of the Values, Technology, Science, and Society program. Some students entering Stan- ford now had to spend 177 out of their 180 units to fulfill university and engineering school require- ments, according to Masters. "The humanities requirements changed, and we reacted to it," Masters said. "The university has been requiring more of students than ever before." Under the new curriculum, the minimum requirements for the engineering degree total 107 units. University-wide require- ments add another 60 units.

Last July, Covert participated on a panel which investigated the failure of a temperature sensor in the space shuttle. Covert completed his under- graduate education at the Univer- sity of Minnesota and received his doctorate in aerodynamics. He became an MIT professor in 1963. Panel to study shuttle booster Covert joined the panel last night after the panel's first meet- ing yesterday. The opening dis- cussion focused on Challenger's right-hand solid rocket booster, which produced an abnormal plume of fire just before the blast, the Associated Press reported. None of Challenger's booster components had been used more than three times,' said Jesse Moore, the acting director of NASA's shuttle program. But the booster systems are designed to be used up 20 times, he said.

Some members of the panel asked whether the cold weather could have affected the solid rocket boosters, according to the The great beers of the world go by one name: Iiiwenbrau. Brewed in Munich.
