Fellow astronauts and several key NASA officials confirmed that Young has fired off numerous strongly worded memos to NASA managers in recent months pressing for a turn-arOund in decaying safety systems. “John Young has been putting out these type of memos for the last two years,” said a NASA official involved in flight crew operations at the John son Space Center, who said he feared losing his job if his name were used. “He’s been putting out a lot of de ficiencies and raised these issues be fore,” the source said. “But the pro gram people haven’t been listening. They (top NASA managers) were too worried about the schedule and money associated with it to pay at tention.” In a memo dated two weeks prior to the Challenger disaster on Jan. 28, Young questioned the use of a Kennedy Space Center runway for shuttle landings, according to a NASA source who received the memo. The memo says the three- mile runway is not suitable for shut tle landings because of its length and lack of stabilized shoulders. If a tire blew out, a shuttle would run off the runway and cause great harm, the memo says. “The only reason we’re landing there is because of pressure on the schedule to save three or four days and that’s not the way to operate,” the source said. Thomas L. Moser, former chief engineer of Johnson Space Center and top assistant in the shuttle pro gram, said he, too, has seen previous memos in which Young has ques tioned safety standards. Robert Rummel, an aerospace engineer on the presidential commission investi gating the Challenger explosion, said the commission plans to review copies of Young’s memos. The March 4 memo released Sat urday by NASA included an attach ment detailing items “that ought to be fixed so we do not lose any more space shuttles or flight crews.” The list covers a wide range of shuttle hardware in 10 different areas in cluding the external tank and plumbing for its liquid hydrogen and oxygen, the main engines and electrical systems. El Paso police say no suspects found in shotgun killings Associated Press EL PASO — Police were looking Sunday for a motive in the shotgun slayings of four family members whose bodies were found in their apartment by relatives. Police Lt. John Lanahan said the investigation had yielded no leads or suspects in the case. The bodies of the parents and their two children were found Satur day by relatives who went to the fam ily’s apartment in a remodeled hous ing project after phone calls went unanswered. Each of the victims had been shot in the head with a shotgun and the bodies were found in different rooms, police said. The victims were identified as Jose Castorena, 36; his wife, Luz El ena Castorena, 34; and their chil dren, Fabian, 15; and Ruby, 11. Cas torena was majoring in mechanical engineering at the University of Texas at El Paso. Lanahan ref used to speculate on a possible motive. “We haven’t put all the things in the apartment together yet,” he said. Police sealed the apartment and questioned neighbors and relatives of the victims. The slayings could have hap pened as early as Thursday, Lana han said. Dolores Del Toro, Ruby Castore- na’s fifth-grade teacher, said the girl was not at school Friday. “She was a real good student,” Del Toro said. “She was very, very quiet, very shy. I just can’t believe this.” Victor Salas, a counselor at Hen derson Junior High, said he last saw Fabian Castorena Thursday. “He was a very good-looking kid,” Salas said of the ninth-grader. “He was extremely well-liked by the stu dents.” What’s up Monday ENGLISH DEPARTMENT: will sponsor a mini wren course titled “The Resume and Letter of Application 6:30 p.m. in 124 Blocker.

Texas military recruiters profiting from oil slumi Associated Press ODESSA — The sharp drop in oil prices is proving to be a boon for West Texas military recruiters who report a surge of high school grad uates and oil field workers signing up for a stint with Uncle Sam. Sgt. Kirk Ogden, a U.S. Army re cruiter in Odessa, said the declining petroleum industry in West Texas has prompted larger numbers of high school seniors to opt for a guar anteed income and a secure future in the service. Unemployed oil Field workers also are turning to the military, Ogden said. Recently six former oil Field “We don’t just want to give them a job.

But Odgen said would-be recruits, who face a battery of recruitment tests, are not automatically guar anteed a spot. “The days of ‘grab your gun, and let’s go fight’ are gone,” Ogden said. “The armed forces were not created to go fight wars, they were estab lished to prevent a war from starting here.” Chief Petty Officer Michael R.
