The Michigan Daily - Saturday, June 18, 1983 - Page 7 Challenger to lift off on schedule By LOU FINTOR Special to the Daily CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla., - America's space shuttle Challenger sat poised on the launch pad for its second mission yesterday evening and is expected to meet today's 7:30 a.m. launchtime to carry the nation's first female astronaut into orbit. Sally Ride will become America's first woman in space today if the launch is successful. Selected as an astronaut candidate in January, 1978, Ride will serve as mission specialist for the duration of the six-day flight. IN ADDITION, Commander Robert Crippen will become the first astronaut to make two flights aboard the shuttle. Challenger's major commercial payload consists of two communications satellites, "Telesat," also called "Anik C" of Canada, and an Indonesian satellite, "Palapa B." Security was tight at Kennedy Space Center when NASA officials hosted a reception for several key Congressmen and representatives of both the Canadian and Indonesian governments yesterday evening. PRESIDENT Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, are expected to be on hand when the shuttle returns to the center June 24, and it was rumored that they may make a surprise visit to view the launch. Sources at NASA maintain that while the White House has not officially confirmed Reagan's par- ticipation in landing ceremonies, he has personally accepted the invitation and will be present. A total of 15 NASA tracking stations around the world will monitor the Challenger mission. Total cost of the NASA Space Shuttle Development Program for fiscal year 1983 was slightly more than $10 million. THE WEATHER forecast is for clear skies and all systems were ahead of schedule. The seventh flight of the space shuttle has been called the programs most ambitious mission to date. The remainder of the five-member crew include Pilot Frederick Hauck, and mission specialists John Fabian and Norman Thagard. Thagard was not originally a member of the crew, but was added in December to conduct medical tests and collect additional data on several physiological changes that are associated with astronauts' adap- tion to space. Meanwhile, a small group is protesting "unfair labor practices" of a major NASA contractor, EG&G of Florida, Inc. and say they will continue the demon- station until lift off time tomorrow.

Regents vote against guidelines (Continued from Page 2) Committee Prof. Robert Moyers told Regents that it was "impossible to achieve unanimity," on such guidelines. "We believe what we've done is good, correct and thoughtful," said Moyers. REGENTS acknowledged the effort writing the guidelines but contended that monitoring faculty members would jeopardize the future of Univer- sity research. The guidelines were criticized for being too restrictive. "If similar policies were enacted at all universities across the country, research would practically cease across the nation," said George Minde, LSA junior. In other action, Regents approved a $7.50 increase in mandatory student Health Services fee for 1984-84 and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost Billy Frye recommended an 8 to 10 percent tuition increase for next year. Frye will formally present the proposal at the July Regents' meeting. The nature of harassment charges University this year.
