(1) Spon- sorship of research in NASA-related history is one wiy in which NASA responds to the provision of the National Aeronautics and :Space Act of 1958 that re- quires NASA to “provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemina- tion of information concerning its activities and the results thereof.” (2) Thoughtful study of NASA history can help agency managers accomplish the missions assigned to the agency. Understanding NASA’s past aids in understan- ding its present situation and illuminates possible future directions.

    —rr—1— Cal Poly’s old fire department getting new look BY BOB BERGER Daily Stall Wrttar Amid the bustle of the creation of Cal Poly’s new complexion a face lift of an old institution is take place. Across the street from the construction site of the faculty offices is the three engine bar of the Cal Poly fire department. Almost as old as Poly itself, the Fire Department has been a part of campus life since 1906. “ They used to ring the bell in the clock tower when there was a fire and the volunteers would run down to the tower and grab a hose,” said Chuck Branco, campus fire ap­ paratus engineer. He’s one of four full time engineers hired to help supervise the student firemen Since 1906 the student body has taken an active part in running the fire department. " It’s just been in the last ten years that ” we’ve been under contract with the State,” said Carmon Johnson, a Fire Captain in the California Department of Forestry. "W e’re here to supervise and train the students to handle the equipment and emergencies.” The quality of equipment has improved with the increase in the student population at Cal Poly. The most recent addition to the fire deparment’s staff is the “ Little Squirt." The Squirt is a pumper truck with a jet nozzle attached to the top of a 50 foot ladder. The ladder is controlled from the truck and is capable of reaching windows 75 feet off the ground with a "Little Squirt” the latest addition to Cal Poly’s August.
