He has served on the executive board of the Musk ingum Valley Council of Boy Scouts of America and as Space News: A Fifth Shuttle By GREYTON FLANAGAN Over the last few years cer tain people have theorized the coming of the next in dustrial revolution in the near future. This revolution is td take place in space spur red on by private investors. Private investors will place their cold cash in technology in hopes of finding a gold mine in space. At NASA there are certain signs that this is happening. At the present time our congress has appropriated just enough money for (4) shuttles: Columbia, Challenger, Discovery and Atlantis. Economist Klaus Heiss cojhmented on the governments space policies ‘The government does not provide enough money to promote necessary^ new technologies in space.” Heiss is president of Princeton, New Jersey’s Space Transportation Company, (STC). Heiss is making plans with The Prudential In surance Company to buy a fifth shuttle. In this plan, STC would pay NASA around $30 million per launch which is about half the total cost. Heiss commented that the fifth shuttle could break even with only two dozen or so flights a year. What would the shuttle carry? Satellites funded by various companies and corporations. Under special consideration is the chemical producing process called ‘electrophoresis. assistant scout master of the New Concord troop. Biegler’s duties at St. An drews will include respon sibility for the college’s an nual fund, major gifts and planned giving. He fills the vacancy left by Barrett Carons, vice president of development since 1980, who has accepted a position at William and Mary. Education Passes Through Reagan Machine In the final 1983 federal higher education budget passed by the lame duck Congress just before Christmas, federal college programs avoided the drastic cuts proposed by President Reagan, but didn’t get much additional funding, either. After inflation is figured in, the college budget actual ly shrank somewhat. Congress’ final continuing resolution which, barring an unexpected congressional consensus, should carry cam pus programs through next September, amounted to $7.1 billion, effectively the same as the 1982 fiscal year higher education budget. President Reagan had ask ed Congress for a $5.1 billion 1983 colleee budeet. The president had wanted Congress to slash $1.8 billion from the aid programs. congress made its biggest collect cuts in the College Housing Loans program, which administrators draw on to build and maintain on- campus housing. Legislators cut $160 million - or 80 percent of the total - from the housing loans for fiscal 1983, which stretches from October 1, 1982 through September 30, 1983. It was one of thefew in stances in which President Reagan got the cut he wanted. The process is about to begin again, however. In late January, President REagan is due to make his 1984 fiscal year budget proposals. Ad ministration officials told an October convention of finan cial aid administrators to ex pect the president to once again propose board cuts in student aid programs. Pizza Inn Presents SPECTACULAR Elec trophoresis is designed to purify drugs and otehr com plex compounds. This pro cess could help produce in terferon in large amounts along with other drugs while cutting cots. These drugs can only be produced in small amounts on Earth with anydegree of purity. These purifications could open up a 1 billion dollar market. At any rate the fate of the fifth shuttle still hangs in the balance. Congress must help in the funding of this shuttle. You have to find a way to channel private capital into space ap plications, space technology, space transportation. That is what we are trying to do,” says Heiss.
