Shuttle develops new leak United Press International CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — America’s new space shuttle, Challenger, has developed a third engine leak, and NASA sources said Saturday it could force another delay of several days in the ship’s maiden flight, tentatively set for mid-March. A “very small” crack was found Friday in a quarter-inch line that carries hydrogen to the ignition system of Challenger’s No. 2 main engine, Kennedy Space Center spokesman Mark Hess said. In addition to removing the No. 2 engine, Hess said techni cians will test Challenger’s No. 3 engine and other engines in the program. “We are confident we can re pair the crack here, but we want to make sure there isn’t a leak in other engines. We are checking to see if there is a manufacturing problem or a design defect,” he said. Challenger, a slimmed down version of its predecessor, the Columbia, has been beset with engine problems since last De cember when high concentra tions of gaseous hydrogen were detected in the shuttle’s rear en gine compartment during a test firing. The Challenger voyage was originally scheduled to be gin Jan. 20.

Government entire beach to buy town Snow Ski Apparel Ski Rentals laydown here if you really want of contamination by dioxin, one of the deadliest chemicals made by man. The dioxin was contained in waste oil sprayed on the city’s unpaved streets in the 1970s as a dust control measure. Hammer said appraisals will not include damage from De cember’s record flooding that inundated most homes. Times Beach had a popula tion of more than 2,000 before the flooding, and all but about 300 have found temporary housing elsewhere. The buy out is estimated to include 800 fami lies and 12 businesses. The Environmental Protec tion Agency will allocate $33 million from the Superfund, a special tax on chemical com panies, to buy the homes and businesses. The state must put up $3.7 million as its share. Patrick J. Breheny, regional director of the Federal Emergency Management Agen cy, said plans for the buy out — the first ever ot an entire town — should be ready by March 17. Laine Jumper, a resident appointed to the presidential task force working on the town’s dioxin problem, said commun ity leaders were organizing efforts to ensure residents got a fair market value for their home. He denied a rumor that those agreeing to sell would have to sign forms releasing the govern ment from liablity for medical problems. “We’re not going to release them from damages. We’re not going to lose our legal rights to sue — all the way up to the EPA — in this thing,” he said. State of ficials have said Times Beach, a tract of land on the flood plain of the Meramec Riv er, may be turned into a river side park once the buy-out is completed and structures razed. Several methods are being cons idered for cleaning up the diox in once the area is cleared. vL* sL* vL- nL* nL? *X* ^X* *X^ ^X* *X^ *X^ «X^ -T' •T* *7* ^ *7* • * * * * * * * * * •* * * * * * * Bib and Ski Jacket $ 25 for a week rental ($5.00 Cleaning Fee) Reserve yours early for Spring Break. * * * * * * *• * * * * *• * * * * * TRI-STATE A&M SFORTIAG GOODS 3600 Old College Road 846-4743 846-4743 50% Off Frames Choose from the entire selection of frames including designer lines such as Gloria Vanderbilt and Christian Dior.
