Page 2 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Tuesday, February 9, 1971 CADET SLOUCH by Jim Earle Crew calls flight ‘smashing success’ ‘Hare and hounds’ car club contest upcoming dri^ SPACE CENTER, Houston ) — The Apollo 14 moonwalkers said Monday that only time de feated them in their quest to climb to the rim of Cone Crater and that their mission on the moon was a “smashing success.” “I can intuitively tell from what weVe done, what we’ve seen, that we’re bringing back a wealth of information, photographically and geologically, and we’ve left another station (science experi ments) on the moon sending back information,” said astronaut Alan a press B. Shepard. The astronauts held conference in space, after they spent most of the day packing away their moon treasure and tidying up their spacecraft. They were preparing for splashdown in the South Pacific today. Moonwalkers Shepard and Ed gar D. Mitchell described their battle to reach the Cone Crater rim. Their crewmate, Stuart A. Roosa, told of his long, lonely hours aboard the command ship in lunar orbit. Scientists have said that the climb tired the men—that Shep ard’s heartbeat for example jumped to as high as 150 beats per minute at one point. Normal is about 84 for Shepard. Mission Control told the astro nauts a number of times to rest as they struggled up the crater. “I guess we didn’t realize we had problems of fatigue,” Shep ard said. “I don’t know exactly what our heart rates were. Ob viously they were higher than the normal sitting rate.” He said even though he and Mitchell were unable to climb Cone Crater they were able to gather rocks from the same gen eral geologic structure which is believed to contain rocks 4.6 bil lion years old or as old as the moon itself.

Texas rates 38th on the list in nationwide legislature study AUSTIN—According to a 14- month nationwide study by the Citizens Conference on State Legislatures, the Texas Legisla ture ranks 38th among all 50 states. The study reported that the lieutenant governor has too much power, and suggested that some of it be transferred to the presi dent pro tempore of the Senate. CCSL came out strong for an nual sessions of the Legislature and found $15,000 a reasonable annual pay for senators and rep resentatives (who now get $4,- 800). The conference also suggested that Texas has far too many legislative standing committees (72 in all) and that 15 for each house would be plenty. A joint hearing by House-Senate panels would also save time, the study maintained. Broad powers of the lieutenant governor, said CCSL, are a “hin drance to the Senate developing leadership of its own choosing.” Powers include appointment of committee chairmen, assigning bills to committees and casting tie-breaking votes. States getting the best rank ings were, in this order, Califor nia, New York, Illinois, Florida, Wisconsin, Iowa, Hawaii, Michi gan, Nebraska and Minnesota. Texas ranked 45th in ability to control its own activities, 43rd in the use of available information, 36th in accountability to constitu- BUSIER AGENCY REAL ESTATE • INSURANCE F.H.A.—Veterans and ConveaUonal Leui ARM A HOME SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Home Office: Nevada, Mo.
