Man unable to avoid oncoming plane The Associated Press NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — Sky diver Alfred Peters was hurtling to ward Earth at about 100 mph when he saw a plane coming straight at him. Seconds later, his ankle hit the plane's tail, sending it into a spin and crash. All four people aboard were killed. Peters survived Sunday's col lision more than a mile above ground with a broken ankle and a terri ble scare. "All he keeps talking about is seeing that plane coming at him/'said Peters' wife, Joyce. "He tried to get out of the way as best he could, but there wasn't much he could do and it hit his ankle." Killed were Elliot Klein, 49, of Rhinebeck, N.Y., the pilot of the sin gle-engine Cherokee Piper Warrior II; his 18-year-old son, Jonas, a stu dent at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; fellow MIT student Christina Park, 18, of Auburn, Wash.; and Jean Kimball, 45, of Pine Plains, N.Y. The accident happened as the Piper was flying at about 120 mph 7,000 feet over Northampton Airport, en route to Boston from Pough- keepsie, N.Y. The students were returning to school. Peters, a former Army paratrooper who had logged 37 sport jumps in the past year, told authorities he leaped from a single-engine Cessna 206 at about 8,000 feet. Within moments, he saw the Piper heading straight at him, according to Jeff Guzzetti, a National Transportation Safety Board inspector. Peters, 51, of Westfield, lost a boot and flipped head over heels, but managed to open his parachute at about 4,000 feet. "As he was floating to Earth ... he saw this airplane spiralling to the ground," Guzzetti said. "It was almost like something in a movie. It wasn't real," said John Stergakis, of West Hartford, Conn., who was waiting to take his first- ever jump at the airport later that afternoon. The Piper's wreckage lay Monday in woods one mile from the air port, its nose dug into the ground and its wing wrapped around a tree, The 3-foot-tall aluminum tail fin and part of its rudder were ripped off; Guzzetti said it was not yet known whether the tail was ripped off by the collision with Peters or the impact with the ground. Investigators said they don't know why the pilots were unaware of each other. The sky-diving plane carrying a pilot and four other parachutists ra dioed controllers at nearby Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Conn., to warn other planes of the impending jump. It was not known if Klein was complying with flight rules by keeping his radio tuned for such warnings as he entered the designated jump zone. The zone extended three miles over Northampton airport in all directions. ^ What's Up Tuesday MSC Cepheid Variable: general meeting in 410 Rudder at 8:30 p.m. For more information, call at 845-1515.

Access Continued from Page 1 because the bed of the truck is so high the ramp leading up to it would probably be too steep," Coapland said. However, the committees compromised on tlie parking lot. "Some of the students at the meeting said they could see Bonfire fine from Zachry," Coa pland said. "However, wherev er they go is their business. Last year, the parking lot didn't fill up so they shouldn't have a problem seeing it from there." However, Jeff Kiouda, a mem ber of the access committee, said' he was concerned about fire trucks and EMS vehicles block ing the view from the road. Because students in wheel- Research Continued from Page 1 chairs typically can't get close to Bonfire, Kiouda said, they don't feel a part of the tradition. "We feel literally let out in the cold," he said. "It would have been nice to have been close enough to Bonfire to see it well. I'm not talking so close I'd singe my eyebrows off or could roast marshmallows but close enough to feel like I'm actually participating it." However, Kiouda said he couldn't complain about the committees' decision for this year but hoped a more concrete solution to the access problem would be presented next year. "This is an ongoing issue," he said. "Tve already started thinking about writing some proposals for next year. We have to secure some kind of sys tem that is feasible and safe and will work for everyone." Changes Continued from Page 1 "Distinguished Professor Bock- ris continues to be supported by academic freedom freely given by administrators," Wakefield said. Officials in the College of Sci ence were not available for com ment. All questions concerning the situation with Bockris have been directed to Robert Kennedy, vice president for research and graduate studies. Texas A&M's Interim President E. Dean Gage last week ordered an inquiry into the activities of Bockris to be headed by Kennedy. Nancy Sawtelle, communica tions director for Kennedy's office, said the four-member committee has been appointed and will start work immediately in order to re port to Gage within 60 days. begin running at 6 p.m. and drop passengers off at parking area 51 right by Bonfire. Passengers may board the bus at designated Pari and Ride sites or by waving the bus down along the route." At about 10 p.m., when most people have left the Bonfire site, stage two will go into effect, Newton said. "Once most people have left, we'll start breaking down and be gin running normal patrol beats, call responses and working acci dents," he said. Newton said stage two, which will last until about 3 a.m., will consist of a concentration on cita tions for minors in possession, loud party calls and driving while intoxicated.
