Task force doctors plan to be in Texas Feb. 5, 6 and 7, said April Evans, who works on field investiga tions for the Physician Task Force on Hunger in America at the Har vard University School of Public Health. A team of doctors will visit Brazos County on Wednesday after a meet ing with Gov. Mark White and a briefing from state-level social serv ice officials. A recent inspection of census data indicates that Brazos County’s pov erty figures are skewed by the large, non-working student population. Evans has said that student pop ulations were not factored into the task force’s figures in establishing a list of the 150 “hunger” counties — so judged because of a low percent age of food stamp recipients in rela tion to the number of residents mak ing less than the national poverty standard. There will be two teams of doc tors. The doctors plan to visit Walker, San Saba, Hays and Cald well counties, in addition to Brazos, the Bryan-College Station Eagle re ported. Dr. Larry Brown of Harvard, who chairs the task force, is expected to be among the group that visits Bra zos County. NASA impounds data (continued from page 1) Speculation focused on an omi nous bright flash that was visible at the base of the fuel tank before the explosion, but shuttle director Jesse Moore said he wanted to discourage that. “You are asking me to lay out causes.” he said. “I’m not prepared to do that.” NA$A scheduled a memorial service at the Johnson Space Center in Houston to be held Friday and said President and Mrs. Reagan will attend. In Palm Bay, a community south of the space center, plans were made to name a school after Christa McAuliffe of Concord, N.H., who was aboard the shuttle as the first “common citizen” to fly in space. She had planned to teach two lessons from space to schoolchildren all across the country. Killed along with McAuliffe were commander Francis R. Scobee, 46; pilot Michael J. Smith, 40; Judith A. Resnik, 36; Ronald E. McNair, 35; Ellison S. Onizuka, 39, and Gregory B. Jarvis, 41. An investigation team held its first meeting to start the long inquiry into why the $1.2 billion shuttle, appear ing to be orl a perfect course, sud denly exploded 74 seconds after lift off Tuesday, raining fiery debris into the Atlantic Ocean. Lt. John Philbin, commander of the Coast Guard cutter Point Rob erts, brought back the first load of debris. He said there was 600 pounds of it, much of it in small pieces. “Most of what we found was bulk head-type material, aluminum with insulation attached to it,” he said. “There were a couple of charred pieces and we did bring in some small cylinder-type tanks this morn ing.” The Point Roberts was the first military ship on the scene. He said his crew watched the debris coming down and got the location from a tug in the area. The space agency impounded ev ery scrap of paper, film and data connected with the launch and pleaded with souvenir hunters to turn in anything they find on the beaches in this central Florida area. “We need every piece of that be cause we don’t know where the clue might be,” said Richard Smith, the director of the Kennedy Space Cen ter. Recovery crews found some of the ship’s heat-shielding external tiles, and the largest remnant was a chunk of metal 12 feet by 4 feet. Moore said it was unlikely that bodies of the crew members would be found. “I would always like to hold out hope,” he said. “However, we’ve seen a lot of small debris.” The crew apparendy had no warning. “We have no indication that the commander had any sense of any thing wrong,” William Graham, act ing administrator of NASA, said. “The spacecraft was traveling at more than twice the speed of sound at 47,000 feet, which is at the bound ary of the stratosphere where there are physical changes such as optical and visual phenomena and shock waves.” Graham said the ship’s two solid- rocket boosters, which could be seen heading away from the fireball and forming a huge Y-shaped trail in the sky, were deliberately destroyed by the range safety officer, who gave a computer command that triggered explosives stored aboard the rockets. “There was an indication one of the solids was heading for a pop ulated area and he took the correct action,” Graham said. After a nor mal launch, the boosters drop off the shuttle fuel tank, parachute into the ocean, and are recovered by waiting ships. Their condition, had they been in tact, might have helped solve the in credible jigsaw puzzle confronting the space agency. The officials reiterated that there will be no more shuttle flights until investigating teams have made their report and corrective actions are taken. “I want to assure you, as others have, including the president of the United States, that this loss will not stop us as Americans from exploring the frontiers of science and the fron- _ tiers of space,” Graham said. wnaf s up Thursday ALPHA GAMMA RHQ: will hold a rush reception at m p.m. at the Walden Pond Apts, clubhouse.

Soviet leader Mikhail Gorba chev, whose country has lost four astronauts on space missions, said, “We share the feeling of sor row in connection with the tragic death of the crew of the space shuttle Challenger. We express our condolences to the people of the United States and to the fami lies.” Speakes said a permanent re view board will be named soon to take over from the interim board that already has started collecting data for what he said would be a very detailed and prolonged in vestigation into the tragedy. Speakes said it will take “a pe riod of time” before a decision is made on whether to allocate money to replace the Challenger, a $1.2 billion spaceship that was one of five shuttles. Sen. John Glenn, D-Ohio, who went to Cape Canaveral Bush and Sen. Jake Garni Utah., said he favors buikfci replacement for Challenger £ predicted there will be note* thusiasrn among congress^ supporters of the space progej because of the accident. “I would say don’t lose 1 the program,” said Glenn] GALLERY iSSAi 10% Student Discount >ubl] LAI Discount is on all parts & labor on Niss%| Ve Products only.
