2The Daily Tar HeelFriday, January 31, 1986 Edlnocatiws mniake Oy HELENS COOPER Staff Writer The explosion of the space shuttle Challenger and the deaths of all seven crew members Tuesday reminded many Americans that despite enormous gains in space technology, tragedies are very real. Two teachers at a South Carolina elementary school were especially concerned with the death of teacher Christa McAuliffe. Soon after, they began a national campaign for students to show their appreciation for teachers everywhere. Gloria Knight, a fifth-grade teacher, and Debbie Cannada, a special education teacher, said they watched the shuttle explosion Tuesday in shock and grief. Both teach at the McKissick Elementary School in Easley, S.C. "We were so devastated by the death of Christa McAuliffe," Cannada said. "There were so many positive things she could have done with the Teacher- aois tto'DrxEDDTDoir teacCneo'So icArfnfije in-Space Program." After Cannada and Knight discussed their ideas, Cannada began the campaign by calling the teacher who showed her that education was worthwhile. She had not seen or talked to her teacher since 1981 and had trouble getting in touch with her. Finally, Tuesday night, Cannada reached Mary Ellen CShields, a UNC graduate student in English. She cried for the second time that day, CSheilds said. i couldn't believe I was hearing from a student I hadn't seen in so long," she said. "She's married, changed her name, and moved away, but she still remembered me." Cannada and Knight have tentatively titled their campaign "Apples for Teachers." They said they wanted people to think of the teacher who had meant the most to them throughout their school years and to telephone that individual. "We just want everyone to call that teacher who Dp did everything to make their education worthwhile," Cannada said. "We want to give some apples to some teachers." Knight added that everyone had a scar from Tuesday's tragedy, especially the students from McAuliffe's high school in Concord, N.H. "So many people take their teachers for granted, when there are teachers wholl give everything for their students." Response to the campaign has been tremendous, Knight said. Cannada eve n talked to the principal of Concord High School, the school where McAuliffe worked. She said he would talk to her about joining the campaign after students had gotten over their grief. "He said he was really touched by the people in South Carolina," Cannada. said. Teachers in Granite Ciuy, 111., also have taken up the cause. They have collated about $2,000 of pledges for what they hope will be a national fund honoring McAuliffe. Campus Calendar The DTH Campus Calendar will appear daily.

(AP) The Journalist-in-Space Program, jolted by the destruction of the space shuttle Challenger and the deaths of its crew, was put on hold Wednesday for at least two weeks, the project's director said. "We have taken steps to freeze the process at this point," said Eric Johnson, who has been overseeing the selection process at the Univer sity of South Carolina. Officials at NASA, including those with the Space Flight Partic ipation Program, told Johnson the agency was unable to "get back to us until next week at the earliest to even review the situation." s 'I Sailor may face death psnsfty NEWPORT, R.I.
