SHOW STUDENT ID TO OBTAIN DISCOUNTS JUST A LITTLE HELP FROM A FRIEND TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY STUDENT SENATE Apollo Dec. 6; 17 to be launched last moon mission Agg SPACE CENTER, Houston <A>> —Apollo 17, the last planned manned mission to the moon, will be launched on Dec. 6 and it’s scheduled to land in a moon mountain valley thought to be filled with volcanic ash, the space agency announced today. The landing point will be in the center of the upper right quarter of the moon, as viewed from the earth, several hundred miles north of the Apollo 11 landing site. The landing site is named Taurus-Littrow for the nearby Taurus mountains and for the crater Littrow. Scientists and engineers made the site selection from high reso lution photographs taken during Apollo 15. Officials said the site offers a combination of terrain — with rugged mountains and cliffs, a spectacular rock slide, the flat dark valley thought to be vol canic material, and nearby peaks thought to be volcanic cinder cones. Launch of Apollo 17 should be spectacular. The launch is sched uled for 9:38 p.m. EST and will be the first Apollo blast off at night. Apollo 17’s crew will include the first academically-trained ge ologist, scientist-astronaut Har rison Schmitt. Commander of the mission will be veteran space man Eugene Cernan, and the third crewman is space rookie Ronald E. Evans. Cernan and Schmitt will land on the moon while Evans remains in orbit. Cernan and Schmitt will use a lunar rover car to visit a num ber of geology investigation sites on the moon. Presence of possible volcanoes near the site makes it particu larly attractive to scientists. If the peaks are in fact cinder cones, then scientists expect there will be rocks near the land ing site which were brought up from great depths. These would be the first good samples of ma terial from deep within the lunar interior. Apollo 17 will also carry six new surface experiments, four of which will be powered by an atomic station left on the moon. Two of the experiments, a iti mic profiling device and a i® face electrical properties devin will measure physical properli* of the moon down to about kilometer and should be ableii detect underground water, if j exists. Other new experiments incite a traverse gravimeter, riiti measures variations in sub® face structure; the tidal gravb ter, to study the moon’s respect to the tidal pull of earth; auii! spectrometer to analyze the hut atmosphere, and a meteorite« periment which will measure ti» frequency of meteorite inpu on the moon. Apollo 17 is expected to lis 12 days and Schmitt and Cena will spend about three days* the moon. There were originally tins more Apollo moon miss* planned, but they were cancel!* because of budget reductions. The next moon mission, Api 16, is scheduled for launch m April 16. It’s scheduled to Isii! in the southeast quarter of fe moon, as viewed from earth, ner a crater called Descartes.

Vowell said. The Harris County total, he said, includes $35 million in monthly welfare checks to an average of 73,000 persons. Also included was more than $16 million worth of food stamps and more than $22 million for medical care. A constitutional amendment to raise the state welfare ceiling was defeated by the voters of Texas last May. Vowell questioned whether the defeat might not have contrib uted “to the neglect or abuse of 300,000 children in Texas” who are dependent upon welfare. Vowell said under the present ceiling only $18.75 can be grant ed for a child's food and clothing for a month. “At the same time,” he said, “we can pay $100 a day, if nec essary, for that child’s hospibi care. And we can allow a bM person $15 a month for the feed ing and care of a seeing-ej! dog.” Vowell says he believes to soon will be a massive, natiot- wide federally supported p» gram of day care for children “But let’s think about our pri orities,” he said. “Early chili- hood development, enriched If day care—or whatever terra wi want to apply—does not seen compatible with hunger, inade quate housing and insufficient clothing.” Sadat declares Egypt must arm herself CAIRO (A*)—President Anwar Sadat declared Wednesday that Egypt must “accumulate sophis ticated arms” for the battle with Israel. He told a special meeting of the national congress of the rul ing Arab Socialist Union that the need for developing sophis ticated weapons was due to “the dangerous escalation imposed by the United States and Israel on the coming battle.” Stricklin given $15,000 contract Dr. James A. Stricklin, profes sor of Aerospace Engineering in the College of Engineering at A&M, has been awarded a $15,000 contract by the Office of Naval Research to develop a special com puter code. The contract calls for the code to analyze the dynamic response behavior of such “shells of revolu tion” as submarines, cylinders, missiles, casings and even such vehicles as the Apollo Space craft, Stricklin said. Working with Dr. Stricklin will be Dr. Walter E. Haisler, assist ant professor, and two students, Roger Leich and Uwe Shultz. Stricklin said the current con tract is for one year. His group has an additional $15,000 contract from the Sandia Corp. in Albu querque, N. M., for research with many similarities. Presumably, the sophisticated weapons he spoke of would come from the Soviet Union, Egypt’s main supplier of arms. He did not spell this out but said his visit to Moscow earlier this month was a great success. Sadat explained that results of the Moscow visit would not be discussed until a secret meeting of the congress, which is in ses sion for the first time in seven months. Sadat ignored in his 75-minute address an Israeli acceptance re cently to close proximity talks with Egypt toward reopening of the Suez Canal. Soviet Defense Minister Mar shal Andrei Grechko is due in Cairo and sources here said he will arrive Friday. That is the same day the United Nations an nounced in New York that its special Middle East mediator, Gunnar Jarring, will reach Cairo. A U.N. spokesman in New York said Jarring would hold high-level talks, and said a Jar ring visit to Israel was not in the cards now. Listeners to Sadat’s speech were disappointed at the lackol dramatic pronouncements. “If we should declare our »• tentions it does not do mud good,” Sadat said, adding that Egypt “must bear the cost d patience and silence.” With both his principal arm suppliers and Egypt’s favorib peace mediator due in town, ani Egypt launched on an effort to find more fancy weapons, Si obviously was not about to conv mit himself publicly to any ne* policy. He warned that “we must pro pare ourselves for a long politi cal and military struggle,” and accused the United States scuttling international peace forts through the United N*' tions in 1971 and giving Israeli 33 per cent increase in its air force this year. At the same time, he asserted the United States was moving ib 6th Fleet, based in Italy, Greece, and would like to remove President Makarios from Cyprus so it could also base there to in crease the pressures on Egypt and the Soviet Union. Corps to go on review for SC0NA A&M’s Corps of Cadets will go on review today for the 17th Student Conference on National Affairs. The 5 p.m. review on the Me morial Student Center drill field will honor student delegates and guests at SCONA XVII. More than 100 delegates art visiting TAMU from colleges and universities throughout the U. S- and Mexico. They will be here Wednesday through Saturday. Reviewing officer will be Col Thomas R. Parsons, commandant and professor of military science.
