i the Jewish Dr. Betty Mayfield, a psychologist
djacent to SI the Academic Counseling Center,
% the CounseLine Self-Help Tape
Program is aimed at those students
who normally wouldn’t come in for
personal counseling.
The set of 49 tapes was purchased
from the University of Texas where
the tapes were compiled by psycho
logists in the Austin community,
Mayfield said.
“UT receives thousands of calls,”
Mayfield said. “Our response has
been good, but the word isn’t really
out.”
Mayfield stressed that the prog
ram is an anonymous service. The
caller asks for a tape by number and
then at the end of the tape, phone
numbers to the Personal and Acade
mic counseling centers are given if
further discussion of a topic is de
sired.
“This is not counseling by phone,”
she said, “but an information-giving
service.
“The most frequently called tapes
are those on dating, infuation and
love, coping skills and how to say
no.”
Mayfield said the counseling cen
ter is developing some of their own
tapes to add to the series. These
mainly deal with study skills such as
reading textbooks and time manage
ment.
“If the demand increases,” she
said, “we’ll add more tapes and con
sider extending our hours.”

iesin a engineer can make futuristic

hdav.und |y Mechanical Engineers, and
vy.
■ space program proves it.
Gerald Carr, speaking last night in
iachry Engineering Center, im-
imted visions of industry, energy
ources and even human habitation
i space.
Skylab, the third major project of
he space program, followed the
lemini-Mercury program — a
rudimentary transportation sys-
em — and the Apollo program — a
more sophisticated transportation
ystem Carr said Skylab’s task was
■set up housekeeping in space.”
i- Scientists had learned that in the
bsence of gravity the heart muscle
trophies and the human skeleton
jses calcium and becomes less de-
ise They were worried that a man
rfio returned from space after some
ength of time would not be able to
ive on earth. Carr said the scien-
“needed to fool Mother Nature”
nd Skylab 3 did just that.
||Earr and his fellow crew members
nljBrcised everyday for IVz hours,
vhich greatly reduced the calcium
■he crew members combated the
girt problem by exercising very
Baviiy (such as by riding a bicycle)
tnd fastening their lower bodies into
gdevice resembling an iron lung.
With pressure, the device formed a
acuum, “fooling the heart” and forc-
ng the heart muscle to exercise by
jirculating the blood.
“We proved to ourselves and the
iedical community,” Carr said,
that man can stay in space in a
ghtless environment for an inde-
ite period of time if he will exer-
” and take care of the heart and
hlcium-loss problems.
Another accomplishment of Sky-
ab 3 was a solar observatory which
le crew set up in space. Carr said
lie ozone layer surrounding the
iarth blinds earth observatories and
lab was able to gather a lot of
mation.
The third main task that we had
gi Skylab was to look back down at
pe earth and try to interpret what
■ful informatin we could gather
fom space looking down at the
earth,” Carr said. With training in
pany subjects, such as oceanogra-
Ihy, geography and meteorology,
cniriinflpi l lecrew studied the ocean currents

“glimmers of industry in space” as
the crew discovered that they could
use solar power to do electron beam
welding in space and could form
metal alloys and electronic crystals
— without gravity and superior to
the same on earth.
The next logical step in the space
program was the creation of a cheap
er means of space exploration and,
Carr said, “That’s what the shuttle
program is today.”
The shuttle is reusable, and its
monetary goal is to be able to put
payloads into space at a cost of $100
per pound. The present cost is
$1,000 per pound.
The shuttle is launched from a 90
degree angle, atop a “belly tank”
which carries the shuttle’s fuel and is
larger than the shuttle itself. Strap
ped to the belly tank are two large
rocket boosters, which kick off when
the craft reaches an altitude of
90,000-100,000 feet and are reco
vered in the Atlantic Ocean. The bel
ly tank, the only portion of the vehi
cle not recovered, kicks off at a
height of 150 miles and falls into the
Indian Ocean. After its voyage, the
craft “converts” into an airplane at
105,000 feet above the earth, and
glides to its landing on a runway. The
payload is removed, the vehicle is
refurbished and it is ready to launch
again — all in two to three weeks.
The payload compartment is 60
feet long and 15 feet wide with the
ability to carry 32 1/2 tons of payload.
There are plans for two types of satel
lites, a stellar observatory and a
European-manned laboratory to be
among the payloads transported to
space by the shuttle.

Also, there are plans for a shuttle
crew to build a beam in space to
enable the crew to learn how to con-
truct in space. One construction pro
ject might be a solar satellite de
signed by Dr. Peter Glaser which
will beam solar power to earth by
microwaves. Even though the satel
lite’s efficiency is low — about 40
percent — Carr stressed that the
power in space is free and it could be
one of the answers to the energy
problem. By the year 2030 or 2040,
Carr said, there could be an array of
solar satellites.
The shuttle will carry a pilot, co
pilot, flight engineer, payload spe
cialist and up to six passengers.
Initial testing of the first shuttle
was done a year ago with the shuttle
— named the Enterprise — riding
atop a 747.
The second shuttle, the Col
umbia, is being prepared for launch
in the fall.
Carr said each vehicle is designed
to fly 100 times and the ultimate goal
is to build five shuttles.
“Once we get this transportation
system of ours squared-away,” Carr
said, “what we re going to want to do
is get another habitat going in
space.”
He said several universities have
taken on as graduate projects the de
sign of space habitats. Princeton
leads the way, Carr said, with a con
cept of a habitat that will hold 10,000
people. With this kind of habitat
people might live their whole lives in
space, and would not take many
generations to create a split in the
human species because of the earlier
problems of heart and skeletal
weakening, he said. Future space-
species might be a human with a
small heart, body and small bones.
“He may look a lot like the draw
ings you’ve seen done by people like
Ray Bradbury,” Carr said.
“If some guy can dream up some
thing, some other guy — some other
engineer, can make it happen.”

Campus Reporter
A study about babies’ tempera
ments and parents’ influence on
them is being conducted at Texas
A&M University.
Jackie Walters, working on her
psychology master’s thesis, is
observing babies from birth to 2
months of age to see if she can find a
stable temperament in them.
She said her major question is in
finding if a baby’s temperament stab-
lizes and, if it is not stable during his
first two months, what changes have
occured.
Walters is working with two
groups of couples. The first group is
given questionnaires when the
mother is 2-5 months pregnant and
again two months later. The ques
tions deal with each parent’s attitude
about things like changing diapers,
caring for the baby and what each
thinks the baby will be like.
The second group is given the
same questionnaire when the
mother is 8Vz months pregnant.
With this group, Walters and two
assistants visit each baby and parents
within two days after birth while he
is still hospitalized.
After all the informion has been
gathered, Walters said she will look
at attitude changes in the mother,
father and baby.
Walters said anyone interested in
volunteering for the project should
call Lutes in the psychology depart
ment (845-7145) or Walters (693-
8927).
