-• ^ t— THE BATTALION Wednesday, October 23, 1968 Page 4 College Station, Texas Sociology Prof Hits Goals Of State Parks Apollo 7 Rewards Work Since Spacecraft Fire An education and sociology pro fessor here Tuesday chided lack of concern for people in state and national recreational facilities. “So much of recreation is con cerned with how many ‘this’ and ‘that’ and where roads and gates are located that we don’t hear very much about people and what they need and want,” said Dr. Earl Jones. Jones acknowledged that he had a “somewhat second hand history of the Park Service” since his parents had served in that field. He spoke Tuesday at the Sec ond Recreation Management In stitute being held here. He shared the opening session with Dr. Billie Ingram, recrea tion and parks department pro fessor, in a team teaching ap proach. The Institute is co-sponsored by the National Park Service and A&M’s Recreation and Parks De partment. It continues through Nov. 1. Jones said he thought “recrea tion is supposed to be service to man, not deer and trees and hierarchy in office.” He added that because of prob lems, “we lose sight of the num ber one — people.” He also queried participants, asking, “Is recreation doing any thing for people or are we just counting heads?” Jones challenged Institute members — representing national and state park and recreation leaders — to consider require ments of recreation. He summed it up in one word, “create.” “Write it in capital letters,” he said, “but, leave off ‘re’ and keep out the organization.” Jones said “It’s easier to long for something we don’t have than to create something new!” He urged that objectives and goals be established “that talk about the mind of man.” The all-day session included conferences on looking toward the future and problem solving. An afternoon discussion session with Jones and Miss Ingram was followed with an ecology session moderated by Lon Garrison, Na tional Park Service regional di rector. By HOWARD BENEDICT AP Aerospace Writer SPACE CENTER, HOUSTON (A*)—“Fire in the spacecraft!” That dread cry 21 months ago shot shivers of fear through the blockhouse at Cape Kennedy’s Launch Complex 34. Stunned controllers watched helplessly on a television screen as flames raced through the cabin of the Apollo 1 spaceship, killing the three astronauts trapped in side. The deaths of Air Force Lt. Col. Virgil I. Grissom and Edward H. White II and Navy Lt. Cmdr. Roger B. Chaffee shocked a na tion accustomed to uninterrupted success in the man-in-space pro gram. IT WAS EVEN more shocked when a board of review concluded that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and its principal spacecraft contractor. North American Aviation Corp., had been guilty of poor manage ment, negligence, sloppy work and failure to adequately con sider the safety of the astro nauts. America’s march toward the moon took a long detour. A massive effort went into correcting the deficiencies. Man agement was overhauled and strengthened, the spacecraft re designed and made practically fireproof and numerous safety procedures initiated. THE PRICE TAG was $410 million. The payoff came Tuesday when Apollo 7 splashed to a near-pin point landing, climaxing one of America’s most perfect manned space flights. Air Force Lt. Gen. Samuel Phillips, the tough Apollo pro gram manager expressed the feeling of all when he told news men: “Apollo 7 goes in my book as a perfect mission. In my experi ence this is the first space oper ation that’s accomplished more than 100 per cent of its objec tives. Our official count is 101 per cent. It accomplished every thing we set out to do, and added a few more minor objectives as well.” PHILLIPS SAID Apollo 7 has opened the door to a possible flight around the moon in De cember by the three-man Apollo 8 crew. He said the decision will be made about mid-November when all the Apollo 7 data has been evaluated. He expressed confidence a lunar landing can be made next year. George M. Low, manager of NASA’s Apollo Spacecraft Pro gram Office, took time to praise North American Rockwell Corp., formerly North American Avi ation, for “essentially rebuilding the spacecraft, and working it over, getting it delivered. Its per formance, of course, speaks for itself.” Much of the credit goes to William Bergen, 63, a veteran aeronautical engineer whom North American hired as presi dent of its space division after the fire. “It was really a beautiful spacecraft,” Bergen said. “We had a tough job to practically re design the interior of the space craft, particularly in the flam mability area. It was a terrific job by everybody.” Bulletin Board TONIGHT YANKEE HOMETOWN CLUB will meet in the Fountain Room at 7:30 p.m. to register for the Christmas flight home.
