Her twin sisters completed engineering studies between 1889 and 1903. They received no grades or degrees, however, but were considered ‘courtesy students’ as a favor to their father. ” — A Pictorial His- tory of Texas A&M University by Henry C.

"Come visit us-see our program and compare our prices" 2214 Cavitt 822-7147 United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — The Kennedy Space Center will close two public viewing sites for next month’s space shuttle laun ching because exhaust from the Columbia’s twin booster rockets might rain drops of hydrochloric acid on spectators. Dr. Albert Koller, chief of the space center’s environmental management, said Monday he had studied the maiden launch of the shuttle April 12 and was somewhat surprised by the extent of “ex haust product” deposited in the launch area. The exhaust cloud from the climbing space craft drifted to the north and rained droplets of hyd rochloric acid 3 to 4 miles away from the firing pad, causing local ized spotting of vegetation but apparently no lasting harm to plants, Koller said. Because of the extent of the exhaust fallout, however, officials have decided to close two public viewing areas SVz miles southwest of the launch pad. Koller said winds around the Oct. 9 launch date often blow from the northeast, which would push the shuttle’s exhaust cloud toward the two viewing areas, near the Vehicle Assembly Building and the news media observation area. Although the press site will re main open, the closing of the two public viewing sites will mtt 10,(XX) to 15,000 peoplei " be able to watch the bias toff fa within the spaceport, said. Koller said unprotected peoji might suffer some skin reddenii and a burning sensation if ajj droplets from the exhaust fell* them, but the problem woiji away without lasting effect!* soon as the acid was washed({ Chrysler to raise ’82 prices MSC Cepheid Variable presents Thurs., Sept. 3 7:30 9:45 room 206 MSC 1.00 rated Q United Press International DETROIT — Sticker prices of 1982 Chrysler Corp. cars are going up an average of $622, but the increased value of the dollar is allowing price reductions of up to $705 on imported Renault Le Car models. Chrysler confirmed Monday it has notified dealers of tentative price increases on 1982 models averaging 7.7 percent, slightly higher than the $617 or 6 percent increase General Motors Corp. applied to its 1982 cars. Harold K. Sperlich, president of Chrysler’s North American Automotive Operations, said those prices could change when next year’s models go on sale this fall. If there is a change, he said, it will be a reduction on some models. American Motors Corp., which imports the subcompact Le Car from its French partner Renault, said recent increases in the value of the dollar against the French franc allowed the unusual price re duction. AMC hasn’t yet announced prices of its 1982 domestic cars and Jeep trucks nor on the 1982 version of the 18i passenger car, another Renault import. The action reduces the bottom- line sticker price of the 1982 Le Car basic hatchback to $4,795, down $505 from 1981 prices. The Le Car deluxe hatchback will go down $705 to $4,995, while the Presidents, Faculty, Students and Friends Lend "Sully" YOUR EAR!

To encourage sales of leftover 1981 Le Car models, AMC said it is providing cash sales incentives to dealers equal to the amount of the 1982 sticker price reduction. Sperlich said at a news confer ence the Chrysler price hike was necessary to meet inflationary cost increases and “keep a healthy company. ” “If you’re looking for price re ductions, the place where tli country could get price reductiDii quickly would be in inlenj costs,” ho said.
