The co-workers went to her apart- jmynt near Westheimer to look for Iher, he said. “They couldn’t get into the apart- Iment,” Mayer said. “They couldn’t Iget anybody to answer the door. So [they called the maintenance man [and told him they were worried. He [checked a couple of keys and didn’t lhave’one.” Mayer said that was when they (called the police department.

Mayer said he believes Fullilpve |was killed sometime late Tuesday [night. “We really can’t determine the ex- [act time on something like this,” he said. “It’s hard to tie it down because it’s a matter of a few hours.” He estimates Fullilove’s time of death, however, to be after 6 p.m. Tuesday. “She was found at 6:15 Wednes day,” he said. “She had been dead longer (than the boyfriend).” Mayer said the last known contact Fullilove made other than Labeth was with a friend in Louisiana, whom she spoke with on the tele phone. Police reported Labeth and Fulli love were known to be having “do mestic troubles.” According to police, Labeth was last seen about 6 p.m. Tuesday after Fullilove supposedly mid him to move out of her apartment. “He visited a friend Tuesday and told the friend ‘You probably won’t see me again,’ ” Mayer said. He said that Labeth was probably upset about the couple’s fight. He said Labeth went to visit a friend and was crying because Fullilove kicked him out of the apartment. Labeth gave the friend a cassette tape, he said. “A suicide note was found on the nightstand next to the bed,” Mayer said.

Craven said. Craven said there’s been some talk about renaming the hydro gen center at A&M after Robin son because of his contributions to its development. Because of the work by the center and the foresight of Rob inson, the center is working on a method to sell and transport hy drogen to countries that have “no indigenous sources of energy,” he said. John Appleby, director of the center, told The Battalion earlier this semester that hydrogen will be the fuel of the future. Robinson attended the Univer sity of Houston and the Univer sity of Texas. He received his Doctor of Medicine degree from Baylor College of Medicine in 1940. Craven said that other than friends, Robinson’s only connec tion with A&M was that his brother Joe Robinson had at tended A&M.

Police have ordered autopsies on the bodies, but officials at the Hous ton Medical Examiner’s office said the case is on hold until the causes of death officially are announced early next week. KRBE officials said concerned lis teners and fans of the popular H ouston air personality have flooded the station with calls to ex press their sympathies. “We’ve lost a member of our fami ly,” Sandy Gambliri, KRBE station manager, said. “I had just seen her on Saturday at a promotional event to celebrate her new position.” Fullilove was promoted to the 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. time slot from her original 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. shift, he said. She would have replaced Elvis Duran, a DJ who left KRBE in order to accept a management position at a radio station in Atlanta. Gamblin said Fullilove appeared at a Houston nightclub Saturday where KRBE was broadcasting its live “Power 104 Weekend Power Mix.” Fullilove worked as a disc jockey for KRBE for 3 years following part- time jobs in Houston (KFMK-FM) and Galveston. Reagan unveils space policy for industry WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi dent Reagan unveiled a national space policy Thursday to turn com mercial space activity over to private industry and start scientists devel oping the technologies needed to send humans beyond the moon. Reagan said he will ask for $100 million in next year’s federal budget to get the research started. James C. Fletcher, the NASA ad ministrator, said the policy “clearly establishes that, for the first time, the United States has a long-range goal of expanding human presence and activity beyond Earth orbit into the solar system.” Other than the $100 million for the new technology program — called “Pathfinder” — the new policy did not spell out how much the joint federal-commercial partnership will cost. Move over Segovia. Andres Segovia, the premiere guitarist of this century, said of his star pupil, "Christopher Parkening is a great artist—one of the most brilliant guitarists in the world." Many feel he is destined to eclipse Segovia. The MSC Opera and Performing Arts Society presents Christopher Parkening, Monday, February 15 at 8:00 p.m. in Rudder Auditorium. A virtuoso in both the classical and the Spanish styles of guitar, Parkening dazzles audiences and critics alike. This encore performance is selling fast but there are still a few good seats left. Don't miss this opportunity to hear America's greatest guitarist. MSC Box Office • 845-1234 • Dillards Ticketron VISA and MasterCard accepted.
