SPACE CENTER, Houston <A>)
— 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.

place in Magazine of the Year
competition.
Special recognition awards
presented to The Texas Aggie
included a first for student treat
ment, first for best color covers,
second for faculty treatment^
second for best photo essay and
honorable mention for best single

The photo essay illustrated the

President Earl Rudder.
The Association took three
awards for alumni administra
tion, directed by Weirus.
A&M received a first place
award in the student recruitment
category for its square multi
piece recruitment brochure. The
brochure was produced by Lane
Stephenson, associate director of
the University Information and
Publications Office.
Another first was awarded for
the 1970 Former Student Direc
tory and a second place in alumni
programs for recent graduates
included judging of the member
ship card, directory, Texas Aggie
and spring induction banquet.
Educational Fund Raising
awards represented programs di
rected by Robert Walker, associ
ation director. First place awards
were for the 1970 Annual Fund
campaign and Century Club bro
chure.
The association also received
two second places for special an
nual giving appeals.
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-
