tattle disaster improves NA
By CHRIS CHAPMAN
Staff Writer
The Challenger disaster, which
occurred almost one year ago, has
had little permanent effect on the
U.S. space program, an attorney
specializing in space law said
Monday.
Attorney Hal White, a visiting
professor in the radio, television and
motion pictures department, said the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration had reorganized and
improved its commitment to safety.
The improvements might last a
long time, he said.
A year ago this month, a defect
in construction of the space shuttle
Challenger resulted in an explosion
that killed six astronauts and the first
teacher to go into space. Investiga
tions into the disaster found the
explosion to be linked to a faulty
O-ring.
NASA's self-examination also
resulted in a modest increase in the
agency's budget. White said.

1987 is $7.6 billion, a $100 million
increase from 1986, according to
NASA statistics.
"At the tim of the accident, the
space budget was less than 25 percent
of mid-1960s level in real terms
(adjusted for inflation)," White said.
This economizing led to the
conditions which made the Chal
lenger explosion possible, he said.
"The shuttle had to be economical,
with scaled-down designs, and no
backup, untested systems," White
said. "(This) cannot be excused, but
can be understood in light of the fly-by-the
seat-of-your-pants in the
'Right Stuff sort of way."
The budget cuts began in the late
1960s and early 1970s under pres
idents Lyndon B. Johnson and
Richard Nixon because of the budget
pressure of the Vietnam war. White
said.
The long-term budget reduction
has resulted in a lack of unmanned
voyages and a failure to keep pace
in space exploration with the Soviet

"We would like to do the repairs
some time later this week," said Billy
Aldridge, vice president of field
operations for Lan-Way. "But they
will definitely be made by the end
of next week when our project will
be completed."
No official damage estimate from
the fire has been made, according
to officials. Town Fire Marshal Joe
Robertson said that the repairs
would most likelv cost less than
$1,000.

"I think candidates will do better
as candidates and as presidents if
they have a theme, not just a
gimmick," he said.
"You're going to work on so many
niore things than you think you (will
be," he said. If a candidate has a
list of four or five problems to
address without a theme to connect
them, that candidate will have
trouble dealing with the unexpected
duties and problems of being student
body president, Hassel said.
"Also, people need to think about
organizational questions," he said.
Because it takes so long to feel
comfortable with the position and
to get used to the procedures, student
body president candidates would be
better off if they considered how they
want to organize their staff before
they take office, Hassel said.

Union and other nations. White said.
The Voyager program, launched in
the mid-1970s, was the last
unmanned Voyage.
As the United States' monetary
commitment to space has waned,
other nations have developed space
programs. White said.
The Soviet Unibn has two space
stations, he said. One is permanently
inhabited. The Russians also spend
five times as much as the United
States on space in terms of percen
tage of gross national product. White
said.
The Chinese have also developed
a space program and are marketing
satellite launches, he said. With the
current suspension of the shuttle
program, the United States has only
a "few old one-shot military rockets"
to launch satellites, he added.
According to NASA, the next shuttle
launch is scheduled for Feb. 18, 1988.
White said the. Congress should

because it was against the wall,"

responsible for explaining, she said.
There has been a drop of approx
imately 30-35 percent in the number
of reports made and cases heard by
the honor court over the last two
years, Furr said. Some of the
decrease is related to revisions within
departments, such as increased
awareness of student conduct,
increased security measures and
abolishing take-home exams, she
said.
Poole said more teacher precau
tions were one factor in the declining
case load. "I don't know if it
necessarily means students are being
more honest," he said.
Furr also cited the faculty's per
ception that "the honor system is not
something that they want to support.
When the matter is handled privately
there is less chance for objectivity."

National Security Council. "The
NSC sees space as a security issue,"
White said.
The Rogers Commission, a com
mittee that studied the shuttle
disaster, recommended the National
Commission on Space, a moribund
agency, to govern space policy,
White said. President Reagan vetoed
that proposal at the instigation of
the NSC, he said.
White said NASA should not
abandon its program of sending
civilians into space.
"1 do not subscribe to the idea that
sending a civilian is a gimmick," he
said; "It is a good thing to have
educators and communicators in
space. Whoever said the only person
to have the 'right stuff is a military
space pilot?"
