and was rarely absent from her show
because of being sick or late.
“She had called into work sick
Tuesday arid then some of the peo
ple at KRBE were trying to get in
touch with her to see how she was,”
Mayer said.
“They tried again on Wednesday
to get hold of her arid couldn’t, so
they knew she wasn’t coining in at six
o’clock,” Mayer explained.
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.
The police instructed the mainte-
Jnance man to drill the lock off the
[apartment door for further official
[investigation, he said.
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.
Another suicide note was ad-

laboratory to the private sector,
Cfaveri said.
“He haS helped to spawn new
technological corporations in the
area of hydrogen research and
transfer the technology from the
University to private industry,”
he said.
* On the seven acres of land
Robinson purchased for use by
the center, five research and de
velopment companies are operat
ing. 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.
In attendance at Robinson’s fu
neral Wednesday were A&M
president Frank Vandiver, Asso

dressed and ready to be mailed, he
said.
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.
