Welcome home college students By Joanne j falls Home Economic Extension Agent Many collcge students will be returning home for the summer. Some will be working and some will be resting. After having several months of freedom (or no adult supervision), it's a period of adjustment. It's a period of adjustment for the parents as well as the students. The returning students must realize that parents do have certain rules that need to be followed when they are liv ing in their parent's home. The students should realize that even though they are older and wiser, they still are younger than their parents. Parents always feel that they have the a s authority to offer suggestions and guidance, because they are deeply interested in their sons and daughters and want them to do well in life, The guidance of parents is backed by wisdom, experience, and observation. Parents are extremely interested in keeping their sons and daughters from making life-destructing mistakes and ending up serving 40 and 50 years prison sentences. But very often youth Falls ignore^wtt2H-4^etr parents say until they get behind prison bars where ihey can see and understand things that they have never been able to understand before. College students should help with housework and yard work and not expeet their parents to act as their servants and finance their every need and want. The college students should renew their relation ships with younger fcmily members and help them to benefit from their college training. College students should set good examples in the home and in the com munity. Parents have a responsibility to help make the col lege student feel comfortable when they return home. Welcome and encourage the college students by letting them know that the family is very proud of their accomplishments in the academic world. Urge them to be persistent in reaching their goals. Talk to them about the facts of life and the seriousness of life. Students should be reminded that they will never get another life. Tell them that they should always be interested in preserving that life. Tell them about eating and resting properly so they can avoid unhealthy foods and habits that will shorten their lives. Parents should give returning students some responsibilities so they can gain experience in home management and money management. Good family conversation can help strengthen family ties and help family members to understand each other better. itf or iiw Beautifing the city Photo by C.B Haus*r A detail from the Prince's Feather Garden Club plants flowers In a plot at the IntarMClPn of Third and Fifth Street*.

II II Space junk, a matter of international concern Unless spacefaring nations stem the exponential increase in small bits of junk orbiting our planet, some low Earth orbits (lower than 1250 miles) may become too risky to use in just satellite breakups, but it is not the leading producer of the debris cur rently in orbit. Refuse of Soviet and American origin is actually rather evenly distributed. STARWATCH By EDWARD A. ALLEN 10 to 20 years. Particles from one millimeter to 10 centimeters in size pose the greatest threat to spacecraft and astronauts, as reported by the Office of Technology Assessment, But this is the very size range that is hardest to survey. Objects larger than 1 0 centimeters can be studies by radar from the ground. Only an internation al effort to control such orbiting garbage will preserve the near-Earth environment, the report concludes. % Among the rqgponceptions the report addresses, is that space junk has increased because of more rocket launches. In fact the launch rate has remained fairly constant since 1965. The most troubling problem is that debris collisions create even more particles aUan exponential rate that threatens to get out of control. The Soviet Union is responsible for more than 70 percent of all launches and The American Astronomical Society, the largest national organiza tion of professional astronomers in the world, completed a survey of its 5,300 members. Here are some of the more interesting highlights: ?About 88% of the society's members arc men and 12% are wpmen. (The highest percentage of women astronomers, 17, occurred In 1938.) ?The percentage of female astronomers is highest at a young age and then gradually declines. This trend may indicate thai either more women are entering astronomy now or that they arc leaving the field early in their careers. ?More than 90% of the society's members arc white. ?Astronomers do not usually achieve a stable income until age 30 to 35. Goolsby named Miss Futurama 1991 The Chi Chi Chapter of Chi Eta Phi Nursing Sorority, Inc. held its Second Annual Miss Futurama Spring Ball, Friday, April 19, at the Sawtooth Center, 226 N. Mar shall St., Winston-Salem. Miss Futurama 1991 is Mar isha Goolsby, a junior at Carver High School. She is the daughter 6f Mr* and Mrs. Benjamin Keaton 6f Winstonr-Salem. She was Crowned by Kia Boston, Mrss Futurama 1990, and escorted by Derico Chefry. The first runner up was Shan ta Hyman, an eighth grade student at Northwest Middle School. She is the daughter of Thurmond and Shirley Carter. She was escorted by Devon Anthony. The second runner up was LeShanda Miller, also an eighth grade student at Northwest Middle School. She is the daughter of Vernon and Anthionette Torbit. She was escortcd by James Dervin. The other contestants were Contillus Archie, daughter of Floyd and Amanda Archie; and Jontille Fowler, daughter of Mrs. Deborah S. Fowler. The winners and each contes tant received a plaque, flowers and a monetary gift for their par ticipation. A fashion show fol lowed the coronation, featuring fashions from LaShanda's Bou tique of Winston-Salem. The Chi Chi Chapter of Chi Eta Phi Nursing Sorority was chartered here in 1978, and is an organization of professional nurse and nursing students. The pur pose of the pageant is to introduce young ladies to society while pro viding an opportunity for students to pursue the field of professional nursing. Th^ proceeds from Miss Futu rama will be given to a deserving nursing student at Winston-Salem State University, in the form of a Chi Chi Scholarship. The sorority's recently select Local 9th graders named Urban L aague Scholars The first two Winston-Salem Urban League schol ars have been selected to participate in Project Strength - on's Summer Enrichment Program at Winston-Salem State University. Marc Robinson and Detria Stowe, both ninth graders at Carver High School, have been named as the fiist Urban League Scholars. Marc and Detria will par ticipate in the Summer Enrichment Program for four w$eks following the close of school, and will receive a stipend for their participation. Both students are registered in the Tri-ad Youth fimploymcnt Service, a collaborative effort of the Urban ?$ague, Workforce Development, and the Chamber of Commerce, to find summer employment for area youth. I ; The main thrust of the Tri-ad Youth Employment .Service is to provide the kind of employment db$)erience that will help youth look at vocational and Gepeer possibilities , including those explored in the Sijmmcr fenrichmcnt Program. Students were selected fot participation in the Summer Enrichment Program by their teachers, guidance counselors, and Winston-Salem Slate University staff. Project Strengthen^ Summer Enrichment Program is designed to provide enrichment training in science and/or mathematics to high school students who show promise in science and/or mathematics, and who plan to enter careers in either of the two disciplines. Robinson is interested in becoming a pilot or enter ing the computer or business fields. Detria would like to study aeronautical engineering or mathematics. Students in the Summer Enrichment Program will be exposed to solving mathcmatic and science problems using the computer. They will also be working with the high powered telcscopc. Organized study sessions will be required as a part of the lour- week enrichment expe rience, ? nThe opportunities provided through the Tri-ad Youth Employment Service arc enhanced by such edu cational programs as Projcct Strengthen," said Jimmie Sudlcr, director of employment division of the Urban League and a coordinator of the Tri-ad Youth Employ ment vScrvicc. ?Concerning professional status, the three largest categories are: 58% professors or scientists, 20% graduate students or recent PH.D recipients, and 7% administrators. ? The largest employer groups include colleges and universities (55%), federally funded research and development centers (16%), govern ment agencies (14%) and industry (9%). * . The National Science Founda tion (NSF) is requesting $23.5 mil lion to begin the construction of two identical, but widely separated detec "tors for the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO). LIGO was designed by teams at Caltech and MIT to verify the existence of gravitational waves and black holes. " Observers are expected to test Einstein's prediction as part of his general theory of relativity in 1916, that gravitational waves exist, and that they traveLat the same speed as light. For spacecraft in low-altitude orbits, what goes up must eventually come down. And so it was with the Soviet space station Salyut 7, which crashcd to earth on Feb. 7th. The suh tion and a massive attached module called Cosmos 1686, together weighed some 39 tons. It was the ?*. largest spacecraft to fall uncontrolled from orbit since the demise of 1 ?

Other officers arc Tamiochus, Geneva Herbert; Anii-Babilcus, Willa Abbott; Dean of Pledgee, Carolyn Ricc; and Chaplain, Glo ria Millner. NASA's Skylab spacc station in 1979. The next round of advances in ground-based optical astronomy can only be made with larger telescopes or arrays of telcscopcs. New mirror designs make possible telescopes much larger than any in existence. Many of the performance require ments for ground-based telescopes ^are jrelated to ihc_blurring of images by the atmosphere. This has led to an intense interest worldwide in making a new genera tion of larger instruments. Major pro grams for building single or multiple 8-meter class telescopes are under way in Europe, Japan and the United States, and other nations are develop ing plans. Of the new large telescope projects, only the 10-meter Keck Telescope, a segmented-mirror instru ment located near the summit of Mauna Kca in Hawaii, has moved from design into construction.
