The government should work to
gether with universities and indus
tries to further research on a perma
nent space station, a NASA
administrator said in a speech at
Texas A&M Tuesday.
Ray Colladay, the associate ad
ministrator of aeronautics and space
technology at NASA, opened an In-
Space Research, Technology and
Engineering Workshop.
Colladay also said life-support sys
tems that are designed to sustain a
group on a permanent station are al
ready being developed.
But engineering and technical de
tails are still being worked out, he
said.
“What we need to do is to pool
what resources we have in industry
and universities with the govern
ment’s resources,” Colladay said.
While NASA has been working
mainly on the details of the space
platform, a group of Langley Re
search Center scientists and engi
neers have been looking for ways the
station could be used by American
engineers and scientists, he said.
The Langley group is hoping to
encourage use of the space station by
“What we need to do is to
pool what resources we
have in industry and uni
versities with the govern
ment’s resources. ”
— Ray Colladay, NASA
administrator
groups as diverse as agriculture,
business and social sciences.
“Our advanced facilities serve as a
magnet to draw researchers in all
Fields to NASA,” Colladay said.
The workshop, which is spon
sored by the Space Research Center
with the support of NASA and the
Universities Space Research Associa
tion, of which A&M is a member,
was designed to get input from Uni
versity researchers and students on
possible uses for a space platform in
their various fields, he said.
With the help of universit y re
searchers and businessmen they
hope to discover more creative uses
for the space station, he said.
The space shuttle, Colladay said,
is just a First step toward a perma
nent space platform, but it is a very
important first step.
“The shuttle is not just a launch
vehicle, it’s a fantastic opportunity
for experiments, providing the kind
of data-base in the zero gravity envi
ronment that we have to have to do
engineering experimentation,” he
said.
Zero gravity can be simulated on
earth, he said, but in the long-run
that is more expensive and less effec
tive than a permanent space plat
form would be.
Scientists and engineers had listed
a series of problems that they are
working on and must solve before
building a permanent space station,
Colladay said.
He said he would like to see joint
projects involving NASA and uni
versities where NASA would pro
vide the facilities and they could
work together to solve problems.
“I think it’s appropriate that this
workshop is being held in a univer
sity and I am committed to the work
ing together of NASA and universi
ties,” he said.
“It’s to the benefit of all three to
work together,” he added. “I would
like to see all three entities in on as
many projects as possible.”
School starting for two-year-olds
By KRISTY KNUTSON
Reporter
The Friends United Church has
begun fall registration for its Fifth
year of the 2’s School, a mother-
child program.
The program is designed for
mothers and their two-year-olds, Hi
lary Blake, the program’s coordina
tor, says.
The program focuses on two-
year-olds because it is the child’s
most trying year, Blake says. She
says the two-year-old child is emerg
ing as an individual personality.
“The program has been an in
credible success and is invaluable,”
Blake says.
Both mother and child learn to
trust new situations and make life
time friends, she says.
The school is exceptionally good
for new mothers, Blake says, because
they can learn about babysitters, pre-
schools and make friends. Also, she
says, the program offers children
early learning experiences and so
cialization.
"Every week there is a different
theme that involves learning any
thing from colors, shapes, opposites,
directions and many other tnings,”
Blake says.
The first 20 minutes of each class
is spent in a mother and child activ
ity. For example, if the theme for the
day is “blue” and “feeling”, the
mother and child will trace each oth
er’s hand, Blake says.
After the mothers leave the room,
the children will paint blue circles
with happy and sad faces as an indi
vidual activity, she says.
Thirty sets of mothers and chil
dren enroll each semester, Blake
says. Each class has 10 sets. She says
the same people are in each class for
the entire term so they can become
familiar with and trust one another.
The school provides support-dis
cussion groups for the mothers, she
says.
Mother’s group activities include
techniques for managing day-to-day
life with preschoolers and under
standing tne conflicting feelings in
herent in parenting. Mothers also
share personal experiences and sup
port each other, Blake says.
“ The 2’s School goals are the sepa
ration of mother and child, for a
child to learn to trust other adults
and toilet training,” Blake says.
The schools has two 12-week
terms each year.The fall term will
run Sept. 23 to Dec. 11 and the
spring term will run Feb. 3, 1986 to
April 30, 1986.
Classes will be held on Monday,
Tuesday or Wednesday from 9 a.m.
to 11 a.m.
The total cost per semester, which
includes registration, materials and
school fee is $105. The program also
provides child care for siblings at a
cost of $3 per morning.
