Professors selected for shuttle flight Associated Press SPACE CENTER — Three uni versity professors have been chosen to fly on space shuttle science mis sions in the next two years, the Na tional Aeronautics and Space Ad- ministration announced Wednesday. Selected for a spring 1986 flight were Dr. Francis A. Gaffney, 37, of the University of Texas Health Sci ence Center in Dallas; and Robert W. Phillips, 56, a professor of physi ology and nutrition at Colorado State University in Fort Collins. Named to a flight tentatively set for 1987 was Dr. Millie Hughes-Ful- ford, 39, an associate professor of biochemistry at the Veterans’ Ad ministration Hospital in San Fran cisco. Hughes-Fulford is the first woman to be named a prime payload specialist for a space shuttle flight. Gaffney, an associate professor of medicine and cardiology, is director of the Echo cardiography at the Dal las university. Echo cardiography uses a device that can check the function of the heart visually while in orbit. Phillips, a veterinarian, will study a number of research animals, prob ably monkeys and rats, on the flight. Gaffney and Phillips are assigned to a mission called Spacelab Life Sci ences 1. The flight will concentrate on 30 life science experiments in hu man and animal physiology and gravitational biology. With the two scientists on the flight will be a crew of seven astro nauts. Vance Brand is the com mander. Astronauts David Griggs and John Fabian will be pilots, and Dr. Rhea Seddon and Jim Bagian will be mission specialists.

Milford, whose year as speaker expires at the May 13 Senate meet ing, has decided not to run for the losition again. As of Wednesday, ien.Jaan Laane, professor of chem istry, has filed for the position. The lew speaker will be elected at the day meeting. Filing ends Tuesday. Milford says he is following the has been a great honor, but that it’s an opportunity that as many Senate members as possible should nave. “I don’t think it’s healthy for any of us to develop the idea that we’re indispensable in the role, that we can do it any better than anybody else,” Milford says. “As a matter of fact, I think we tend to lose our enthusiasm a little bit.” A year is enough time for a speaker to present any new imagina tive or creative ideas he might have, he says. Milford says he had two goals as speaker: to represent the Senate as he perceived it to the Board of Re gents, and to conduct Senate meet ings in such a way that all members h - xa mpl e °f Sen.

Milford says he is slightly disap pointed that the Senate did not act on five issues he considers important and which are currently at subcom mittee or committee stages: the core curriculum; the department head selection retention and evaluation policy; the tenure and promotion policy; student advising and Univer sity and System relations. But he says he would rather each issue be thoroughly debated and dis cussed, and input gathered before the Senate votes on the issue. “While I would —- selfishly I sup pose — like to have seen action taken on one or more of those areas, I have not pushed to have Senate ac tion taken on any of them,” he says. Hopefully, the Senate will act on all five areas in the next year, but only if the body can reach a consen sus, he says. Milford says he will chair a sub committee or committee if asked, but says he would not consider serv ing on the executive committee. “If the former speaker serves on the executive committee, it becomes much more awkward (for the new speaker) to correct wrong directions or take new initiatives with the for mer speaker sitting there,” he says. New law enables courts to give leath sentence for mass murders was an outspoken Df< i controversial figutf acre her rulings icized by local o fficiai'l beral. defeated twice in eWj B in 1946 when shera» : at on the Texas 5 Associated Press AUSTIN — Legislation to include lass and serial murders under rimes that are punishable by death [as signed into law Wednesday by Jov. Mark White. I Under the old capital punishment law, a person could commit several murders without being sentenced to death unless the killings occurred during a felony or the victim was a police officer or fire Fighter. The bill’s co-sponsor, Rep. Tony Polumbo, D-Houston, said the old law failed to allow the death penalty for someone who “travels across the state of Texas killing people to find out how it feels to kill people.” In signing the bill, White said the measure included provisions from his criminal justice agenda. “It will enable the courts to im pose the harshest penalty on offend ers convicted of mass or serial mur ders,” he said.

But first, she says, she will go through an extensive three month training period. Why does she want to do it? “Partly for personal reasons and because I know that I have a ot of energy to go over and help some of these people,” Graves says. “I had no qualms or concerns about leaving some of the hassles and materialism of the U.S. for a couple of years...There’s a lot of opportu nity for you to feel self-satisfied in helping others and you benefit too.

Slightly larger than California, Cameroon is a poor country. In 1979, its per capita income was only $628. Its population is comprised of more than 200 tribes and its literacy rate is 34 percent. Graves’ commit ment has already earned her a trip to the White House. Graves was one of 45 volunteers honored this week by President Rea gan during “National Volunteer Recognition Week.” She says she will never forget shaking the president’s hand in the rose garden: “I said ‘God bless you.’ He was so moved that he grabbed both of my hands and sqeezed them tightly. I thought I was going to faint, I really did. He’s really a personable man and he was taking the time to speak to all of us ... It made me proud to be an American.” Graves says that Reagan is pro moting the Peace Corps after its president made a national appeal for volunteers. Since that appeal, the Peace Corps says applications have been pouring in. But, Graves says, as long as someone is qualified, they won’t be turned away. While in Cameroon, Graves will earn the minimum wage of the host country as well as have $ 175 a month set aside by the Peace Corps for use when she finishes her tour. Our bar serves food.
