Ex- pilot says Delta crash
nearly impossible to avoid
Associated Press
IRVING — A former Lockheed
engineering pilot said Thursday that
few pilots could have pulled out of
the turbulent wind conditions that
contributed to the Aug. 2 crash of a
Delta jet that killed 1.A7 people.
But that was just one opinion in
the battle of the experts in a court-
room-like atmosphere at the Na
tional Transportation Safety Board
hearings focusing on the Delta
crash.
Thursday's testimony came from
a parade of technical experts, some
of whom disagreed over how much
the pilot could have done to avoid
the crash, in which the plane struck a
car and a water tank before smash
ing down at Dallas-Forl Worth In
ternational Airport.
William Smith, who retired from
Lockheed last year and now is work
ing for an insurance company inves
tigating the crash, said. “This pilot
was a very busy man” who had a vio
lent ride in the windstorm.
“It's highly unlikely mam pilots"
could successfully pull out of the up
drafts and downdrafts that plagued
the plane in its final seconds, said
Smith, who had a 30-year working
relationship with Delta Air Lines as a
Lockheed representative.
But in an interview outside the
hearing, Richard Bray, an aerospace
engineer for the National Aeronau
tics and Space Administration, char-
d Smiths comment

Changing technology
causing job-hopping
Associated Press
AUSTIN — The director of the
Bureau of Business Research at the
University of Texas said Thursday
that today’s young people may have
to change job careers three or four
times to keej) up with changing tech
nology.
Dr. Victor Arnold addressed the
Select Committee on Higher Educa
tion on what committee chairman
Larry Temple said was an attempt to
look at where the state will he by the
year 2000.
“With the increased rate of tech
nology change, it’s not unlikely or
unrealistic to say that the young peo
ple you educate today and the young
f jeople you educate tomorrow as
ikefy as not will have to change ca
reers three or four times during
their lifetime,” Arnold said. He said
that a computer analyst graduate of
UT-Austin could be a technological
“dinosaur” two years from now.
“I suggest to your graduates of to
day, graduates of tomorrow will
need an education that prepares
them to operate and function in an
international environment, an edu
cation that combines the sciences
with the skills and the insights of the
liberal arts,” Arnold said.
Dr. Kenneth Margerison, presi
dent of the Texas Faculty Associa
tion, urged the committee not to
limit its search to only ‘‘superstar”
faculty members.
“Even castles in the air need a
solid foundation," Margerison said
in a statement. Margerison, a history
professor at Southwest Texas State
University, said the faculty associa
tion “believes the most pressing issue
concerning the quality of education
is the increasing use of part-time and
temporary faculty, the growing de-
penclence upon a cadre of lowly
paid, poorly used, and increasingly
alienated faculty to teach basic
courses.
He urged the sjjecial committee to
consider stronger support for junior
colleges, remedial instruction in col
leges, better teacher preparation
programs, increased recruitment of
women, blacks and Hispanics as fac
ulty members and greater financial
aid for needy and minority students.
