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.

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.”
