I He said there nothing to prevent someone from tuning in to official airport communi- ations but investigators lis tening to control tower tapes had heard no emergency transmissions from the Pan American flight crew. The Texas woman, who asked to remain anonymous, told WWL-TV she monitored the airport band on her second-hand radio because her husband flew often to oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. She said she was tuned to the proper frequency late Fri day afternoon, listening to the routine give-and-take of tow er and cockpit, when a terrify ing pattern began to emerge. “The tower was talking to several different aircraft, tell ing them to go so many de grees north, south, east or west,” the woman said. “In fact, they seemed to be circ ling all over because landing was impossible at the present time because of the weather.” A sudden pocket of severe thunderstorms settled over New Orleans International Airport and the residential area of Kenner. Lightning flashed and wind whipped sheets of rain. Federal investigators said the weather may have been a cause of the crash of the Pan American flight that killed all 145 passengers and at least eight people on the ground. The woman said she re membered hearing a distress call from the plane’s pilot over her radio. “1 just wasn’t thinking that anything like this would ever happen that I would ever hear,” she said. “But he was saying, ‘I’m in trouble, I’m in trouble.’ He either said Tin in a turbulence’ or ‘There is a turbulence.’” Campus Names Dr. William John Lee, a Texas A&M professor of pet roleum engineering, has been named a recipient of the 1982 Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineer ing Faculty.

I Larry Wayne Jedkins, 17, who was 16 at the time of the holdups but was certified to face prosecution as an adult, pleaded pilty to one robbery on Oct. 28, '81, and eight more in 2'A purs on Nov. 4, 1981. No one was hurt in the hol- lups, although victims were nreatened with a pistol. A eond teenager, Noland Sharp, ahvaits prosecution on the same charges. ■ State District Judge Dan Wal ton imposed sentence Monday after receiving a presentence re- f ort from investigator Gwynne ierce. “Mr. Jedkins alleges that he and Mr. Sharp performed as many as six armed robberies per day, six days per week,” Pierce wrote. “They did not perform robberies on Friday, their day off.” Another portion of the pre sentence report form asks the defendant to state his goal in life. Jedkins, who prosecutor Dave Carlson described as about 6-feet-5-inches, answered: “I want to be a basketball player.” Carlson said he doubted Jed kins’ claim that a mastermind ran the gang of young thieves. “In my opinion, he just made that up,” Carlson said. ‘They (claim they) were required to provide ‘big dude’ proceeds of a robbery and they received a small portion.” Backstage 319 University Dr. (Northgate) 846-1861 on Zero in this salary.
