Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, December 19, 1968 Parents Scream At Forced Trim THEY CALL ’EM SANTA’S BELLES Sandy Gutierrez, 21, left, and Virginia Lee Runnion, 25, part of a team of Santa’s Belles, are working in Los An geles getting passers-by to contribute to the Volunteers of America Christmas fund. After 68 years of relying on male Santas for the street-comer collecting, the organiza tion decided to use the comely young ladies who wear red minidresses and tight red leotards. (AP Wirephoto) FORT WORTH <■#*>—In a move aimed a,t inspiring “esprit de corps,” Coach Kerry Kirby says he sheared about 15 athletes at suburban Kennedale High School. The mass haircut aroused the ire of some parents, who Supt. Barton Horton accused of “mak ing a mountain out of a mole hill.” Nevertheless, he added, the episode would not be repeated. Kirby, 25, said Wednesday he had suggested a month ago that the athletes get their hair cut shorter. Apparently the response was unsatisfactory. He lined up the boys Monday during a physical education class and attacked their locks with a pair of thinning shears. “The kids were in a jovial mood,” said Kirby, in his first year as football coach at Ken nedale. HORTON POINTED out that none of the boys was forced to get a haircut. He added, “I haven’t seen a boy yet who was disturbed about it.” “I thought it was funny,” said freshman athlete Rocky Combs, who wore his hair neatly combed, if shorter, Wednesday. “Nothing looks worse than a bunch of greased-up basketball players,” said Marvin Raines, who plays football. He sported a fresh trim. RAINES blamed the outcry on a “bunch of big-mouthed par ents” who he asserted were get ting involved in a matter that is “none of their business.” “We haven’t had the winning- est season in the world,” ob served Supt. Horton, “but we have had the spiritedest.” mmm . ■ 1 NASA Plans Launching CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. ) _ While preparations for the Apollo 8 ring around the moon shot moved ahead today, another launch team readied the world’s Rainfall Nears Record Amount Bryan and College Station have come within 4 1 / 6 inches of the wettest year on record since 1889, counting rainfall through Dec. 1. The area, which is under a rainfall runoff study by the Meteorology Department at A&M, has recorded varying amounts at different stations. At the department weather station, automatic equipment tab ulated the total for 1968 through Nov. 30 as 56.17 inches, 4.58 short of the Weather Bureau listing of 60.75 in 1900 and 59 per cent above normal. Bureau records are complete from 1889. Experiment Station sources dating to 1916 show a 57.01 an nual total for 1919, which al ready has been surpassed by most stations in the Burton Creek watershed. most powerful communications satellite for launching tonight. Intelsat 3, intended to double transatlantic satellite telephone and television links, is scheduled to ride into space atop a three- stage Delta rocket at 7:32 p.m. It is to be placed in stationary orbit 22,300 miles above the At lantic Ocean off the coast of Brazil. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is launch ing the satellite for the 63-nation telecommunications satellite con sortium for a fee of $4.7 million. THE APOLLO 8 astronauts, Air Force Col. Frank Borman, Navy Capt. James A. Lovell Jr. and Air Force Maj. William A. Anders, climbed into a spacecraft simulator this morning, adding to the more than 250 hours each has logged in the training de vice. NASA reported weather con ditions for Saturday’s launching were predicted to be satisfactory, with considerable cloudiness, tem perature in the 60s and moderate winds. The forecast also called for good conditions in the major recovery areas. The lengthy countdown, which started Sunday night continued to proceed flawlessly toward the scheduled launch time of 7:51 a.m. EST Saturday. Attention was focused on checking systems of the giant 36-story-tall Saturn 5 rocket which is to boost the astronauts on their quarter-million-mile trip to the moon. The first three days of the countdown concentrated on spacecraft systems. BORMAN, Lovell and Anders are to orbit the moon for 20 hours on Christmas Eve and early Christmas Day, hoping to pave the way for other astronauts to land on the lunar surface next year.
