Couple likes $1 million
machine-run solar home
United Press International
GREENWICH, Conn. — Some people don’t
want to be millionaires. They just want to live like
them. Molly and Dean Hendrickson are doing
just that.
They are living in the house of tomorrow until
somebody pays the asking price of $1 million. It is
a third geiferation solar home built as a new pro
duct showcase by the Copper Development Asso-
[ ciation and 20 companies, the who’s who of the
building industry.
The other houses built in Houston and Tucson,
Ariz., are like it in concept, but not design. Be
tween its active and passive solar systems, the
new “SunTronic” house produces 60 percent of
the home’s heat and hot water.
The Hendricksons manage the house, sort of
put it through its paces, welcome visiting profes
sionals, and make an occasional women’s group
feel right at home.
At first, Molly Hendrickson didn’t think the
idea of living in a house other than her own was
such a good one, even though the furnishings
were selected by W & J Sloane.
“Then we decided why pass up an opportunity
like this. We rented our house in New Canaan,
Conn., and we’re here under contract for six
months or maybe a year. ”
Mrs. Hendrickson was the curator for several
years of an historical house. Dean Hendrickson is
a retired executive who is convalescing from hip
joint surgery.
“We wanted to put together a total package
demonstration home that would be of interest to
the building community across the board, not just
architects but interior designers and so on,” said
Paul A. Anderson, an association vice president.
The 5,400-square foot house with its sloping
copper roof and exterior of California redwood,
slate, and copper metals settles snugly into the
earth to shield it from north winds on a three-acre
wooded site overlooking a pond.
The multi-level house has three bedrooms, 22/2
baths, living room, dining room, family room,
laundry, mechanical room, two-story combina
tion greenhouse and solarium plus a spacious
kitchen. Mrs. Hendrickson had 80 guests recent
ly and some of them gravitated to the kitchen.
“You know that old saying, ‘No matter where I
serve my guests they always seem to like my
kitchen best’? I think that works out in this lovely,
gorgeous home,” she said.
The house is said to be one of the most com
puterized residences ever built. The Apple II
home computer determines when the solar sys
tems should kick in and in what combinations;
when to circulate space heating from storage; and
when to operate heat pumps, solar cells, and
thermostats. It controls the security, fire sprink
ler, and smoke detector systems.
With the push of a computer terminal button,
the Hendricksons can raise and lower the house’s
"security shades,” and chose either diffused light
or none at all in the daytime.
The shades are recessed in the ceiling and work
on the same basic principle as a rolltop desk. They
descend automatically at night, courtesy of the
computer.
“I think these shades could be used in any
home. It could be in a traditional home as well as a
contemporary. They’re attractive from the out
side, too,” Mrs. Hendrickson said.
There are also insulating shades in the semi
circular library as well as the sumptuous bath
areas, covering or uncovering skylights. They
contain an inch to an*inch and half of a fiber fill
similar to that in a sleeping bag, which more than
doubles the insulating value of a double pane of
insulating glass.
If security is breached, an infra-red beam will
pick up the intruder and fiash the message to the
computer. It will then show up on one of seven
General Electric television sets, pinpointing the
location of the break as well as activate a police
alarm.
The television screen displays a map of the
house or a diagram showing where the intrusion is
happening. If the set is off, it turns it on, comes to
a pre-selected channel, and displays the warning
and indicates whether it is a fire or a burglary.
The computer’s format is set by the program
mer who is teaching the Hendricksons the ins,
outs, and, of course, the meaning of blips — those
gremlins that sneak into the system and occasion
ally erase what is on the screen.
Supreme Court to hear suit
on political action groups
United Press International
WASHINGTON — The Sup
reme Court Monday agreed to
consider whether the government
can limit how much independent
political action committees spend
to support their favorite candi
dates.
Such groups spent millions of
dollars on behalf of Ronald Reagan
in his succcessful campaign for
president.
The case the court took today
involves whether the $1,000 limit
on the amount of money indepen
dent committees may spend
violates free speech guarantees.
Last fall, a Washington, D.C.
court ruled the limit — estab
lished by Congress — is uncon
stitutional.
The Federal Election Commis
sion and Common Cause, a non
profit citizens’ organization, ap
pealed the ruling to the high
court, which will hear the case
this fall. They contend the limit is
essential to Congress’ efforts to
eliminate the “pressure, influ
ence and corruption” of private
campaign funding.
The high court also has on its
docket this term another chal
lenge to the federal election laws
— whether the $5,000 limit on
contributions by individuals to an
association’s political action com
mittee is unconstitutional.
Using the voluntary check-off
system on federal income tax re
turns, federal election law offers
major party presidential candi
dates the option of full public
financing for the general election.
If a candidate chooses such
financing — which amounted to
$29.4 million for the 1980 cam
paign — he must forego nearly all
private contributions. The law was
designed to place a ceiling on the
amount of funds a candidate could
spend. But during the last cam
paign a host of independent com
mittees spent substantial sums to
support Reagan’s election.
Those expenditures were chal
lenged in separate suits by the
EEC and Common Cause as viola
tions of the $1,000 limit.
Ruling on both suits in Septem
ber, a three-judge federal district
court found the bar on spending
more than $1,000 by unauthorized
or independent committees on
behalf of candidates running a
publicly financed campaign was
uncontitutional because it
violated the groups’ rights to poli
tical expression under the First
Amendment.

ME,
TAKE ANOTHER EXAM?
ARE YOU CRAZY???
Q. THE NAVY OFFICER ACADEMIC QUALIFICATION
TEST (AQT) IS A PIECE OF CAKE, RIGHT?
A. NOT NECESSARILY.
If you’re majoring in engineering or another technical area, we would expect you
to do better on the test than an Inner Mongolian Cultural Arts major, but you won’t
hear us telling anyone that the test is easy. The AQT is an aptitude exam dealing
with number and letter comparison, instrument interpretation, word analogy,
practical judgment, mathematical reasoning, and mechanical comprehension in
volving gears, levers, pulleys, fluids, etc. For those interested in an aviation
program, there is an extra section dealing with aircrat orientation and general
aviation knowledge.
THE NAVY OFFICER INFORMATION TEAM WILL BE ADMINISTERING THE
TEST FEB. 24-26 BETWEEN 9 A.M. AND 4 P.M. STOP BY OUR INFORMATION
BOOTH IN THE MSC OR ASK YOUR PLACEMENT OFFICER TO SET UP AN
APPOINTMENT. YOU MAY ALSO CALL COLLECT (713) 822-5221 TO AR
RANGE A TEST.
Tests will be scored immediately and an officer will be available to discuss your
results and the various programs you may want to consider.
Taking the exam in no way obligates you to the Navy, but is just might tell you
something about yourself. Come in and give it a shot. You might even pass!
Legislatures find time to dally
with fossils and dogs as food
United Press International
Between such mundane mat
ters as fiscal budgets and school
appropriations, state lawmakers
are toiling over some offbeat mea
sures — like providing hormones
to dwarfs, giving death row con
victs options for their executions
and choosing official state fossils.
The action on Capitol Hill in
Washington may grab most of the
headlines, but there are some in
teresting antics afoot in America’s
state capitals.
Take, for instance, a bill in the
Arkansas Senate designed to aid
the state’s dwarf population.
It would allow the state medical
examiner to remove the pituitary
gland from a corpse during an
autopsy and donate it to the
Arkansas Dwarf Association. A
clause in the bill explains that the
association could then extract
“hormones needed by dwarfs.”
Then there’s a California mea
sure seeking to prevent dogs and
cats from being hunted down by
Southeast Asian immigrants.
State Sen. Marz Garcia, a Re
publican, says some new immig
rants — accustomed to eating dogs
and cats in their homelands —
have been stalking the animals in
California. So he introduced a bill,
recently passed by a committee,
that would make the killing of a
dog or cat for food a misdemeanor.
Killing a dog or cat for any other
purpose would still be legal.
“I decided to go ahead with the
legislation to avoid a cultural con
flict,” he said.
Oklahoma state Rep. Frank
Shurden introduced a bill to give
death row convicts the option of
dying by lethal drug injection — as
state law currently holds — or, if
they so choose, to be executed in
the same manner they killed their
victims.
Shurden, who also introduced a
bill to give third-time male sex
offenders the option of castration
or a lengthy jail term, said his
latest bill was prompted by inmate
lawsuits charging drug injection
executions were inhumane.
“If a convicted murderer thinks
the injections are a little rough on
him, he can choose to die the same
way he killed his victim,” Shurden
said. “If an inmate wants to be
clubbed to death or stabbed to
death, let’s give him a choice.”
In New York, the state Senate
is still lamenting the loss of the
Brooklyn Dodgers, who moved
out to Los Angeles two decades
ago.
It passed a resolution to com
memorate the 25th anniverary of
the “first and only time” the
Brooklyn Dodgers won a world
championship and expressed the
hope the team would someday re
turn to “their one and only true
home.”
Angered by the hostage crisis,
Wyoming state Rep. Joe Stewart
introduced a measure to bar the
enrollment of Iranian students at
the University of Wyoming and
the state’s seven community col
leges.
“In view of the fact that they’re
a bunch of international bandits, I
don’t think the state of Wyoming
should pay for their education,”
the Democrat declared. “Who
knows what they are going to do
after they leave here?”
No action has yet been taken on
his measure.
In Vermont, state Rep. Nor
man Reed said municipalities in
his constituency are sick and tired
of paying for rescue efforts to pull
people and their cars from the 162-
foot Queechee Gorge, a popular
sightseeing attraction located off a
state highway. So he introduced a
measure seeking state reimburse
ment for community rescues of
unfortunate tourists.
Idaho faces a severe state
budget tangle, but a hot issue fir
ing up state lawmakers in Boise
this year is the withdrawal of their
special parking privileges.
The Boise City Council with
drew their free parking privileges,
claiming it needed money from
parking meter revenues. Since
the withdrawal, a bill has been in
troduced by lawmakers to ban
parking meters within 150 feet of
all public buildings in the state.
“Boise stuck its neck out and we
ought to chop it off,” one angry
lawmaker said.
A measure recently introduced
in Maryland had little to do with
state affairs, but it generated na
tional attention.
Actor Clayton Moore, star of
television’s Lone Ranger series,
was stripped last year by a Los
Angeles judge of his right to wear
the mask that made him famous.
The company with the rights to
the Lone Ranger successfully
argued that Moore, 64, no longer
was good for the character’s
image.
In galloped Baltimore delegate
Raymond Dypski. In a gallant
appearance before a legislative
committee, he argued that people
needed heros nowadays and
Moore represented just that.
His plea to get the Legislature
to formally recognize Moore as the
real Lone Ranger went down in
dismal defeat, however.
