Taking the plunge
Here's one student who's really diving Into summer and beating the heat and humidity at the same time, as he

Pa., nearby states to hold conference
MATINSBURG, W.Va. (AP) Issues ranging from
drug dealing to petnapping will be on the agenda when
legislators from West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland
and Virginia discuss mutual problems at a conference
next month.
"Interstate 81 ties us all together. We see a lot of similar
issues," said Del. John Overington, a Republican who
represents Berkeley and Jefferson counties in West
Virginia. The other three delegates scheduled to attend
the meeting July 29-30 are Terry Punt of Pennsylvania
and Don Munson of Maryland, both Republicans, and
Democrat Al Smith of Virginia.
Overington said I-81 provides easy access to the four
states and helps economic development, but it also can
cause trouble.
He gave the example of wiretap laws in suspected drug
cases to show how cooperation helps. Surrounding states,

he said, already had such laws, but West Virginia did not.
That, he said, only encouraged drug dealers to operate in
the Eastern Panhandle and then distribute their wares in
nearby states.
The West Virginia Legislature this year passed a bill
permitting police to tap telephone lines with court appro
val.
Although the exact agenda for the four-state conference
has not yet been set, Overington said he expects the
delegates to discuss drug trafficking, petnapping, waste
disposal, tourism and gypsy moth control.
Overington said motorists on 1-81 have no trouble seeing
the differences between the four states.
"You can't have a radar detector in Virginia, in West
Virginia it's OK to travel 65, in Maryland you have to slow
down to 55 and fasten your seatbelt, then in Pennsylvania
you can unbuckle your seatbealt again," he said.

Prof studies skills
for long space trips
By CHRISTINE KILGORE
Collegian Science Writer
It's the year 2030. Astronauts
are nearing the end of their 40
million-mile trip to Mars when a
component of the spacecraft's
system fails. Faced with life or
death decisions to make in a
matter of seconds, the astronauts
Must apply crucial skills they
learned during years of previous
astronaut training.
Can they do it? Will the astro
nauts remember the skills they
learned over a year ago? Will
they make the best decision?
According to a University pro
fessor of engineering, astronauts
on future flights to Mars or other
long-duration space missions
may have trouble remembering
critical skills they learned in pre
vious training sessions.
Joseph H. Goldberg, assistant
professor of industrial engi
neering, is investigating the re
quirements of pre-flight training
for space missions an area that
hasn't commonly been studied.

Students battle police
in and around Seoul
By M.H. AHN
Associated Press Writer
SEOUL, South Korea Thousands
of students hurling firebombs and
rocks poured into the streets to battle
riot police in at least seven cities
yesterday, and new clashes were
reported around Seoul's Roman Cath
olic cathedral.
Fighting broke out at universities
in Seoul and at least five provincial
cities as riot police fired thousands of
tear gas rounds and sent in armored
cars to try and hold the students
back. Protesters rushed to within a
few yards of police lines to throw
firebombs, rocks and bricks.
"Destroy the dictator!," the stu
dents chanted again and again.
Scores of people were injured in
yesterday's protests. The govern
ment has issued no figures on those
hurt in the repeated clashes.
Fierce protests began last Wednes
day when opposition groups launched
a drive aimed at toppling President
Chun Doo-hwan and forcing demo
cratic elections.
At Yonsei University in Seoul, 5,000
students attended a rally and then
about 3,000 of them tried to charge the
school gate to take to the street.
Police tear gas turned them back, but
about 200 fought through to a nearby
university hospital to defy police.
Some students raced to a railroad

the astronaut training session
himself in order to recommend
training methods to NASA.
"I'm stressing that we have to
model how well skills are main
tained over long periods of time,"
he said. "We can base the amount
of training one should receive on
the mental workload, or the
amount of information we proc
ess in a given time." Goldberg's
fellowship was administered by
the American Society for Engi
neering Education.
"We need projects that last two
years, although such long-term
projects are rare," he said.
"Now, I'm looking at shorter
term problems.
"The shuttle, for instance, has
a back-up flight system a type
of emergency system kept in one
of several computer systems and
used to take over control of the
spacecraft."
"Astronauts must remember
when and how to press the button
correctly. They might have 10
seconds to make that decision or

Clashes broke out around Seoul's

people demonstrating against the

even after radical students gave up
their five-day occupation of the cathe

Yonhap, the Korean news agency,
said 60,000 students took part in anti
government rallies at 45 schools na
tionwide, but did not say how many
developed into battles with authori

Plains, East

record highs

Power companies strained, schools
closed early and soldiers fainted yes

temperatures in the high 90s to the
Plains and East Coast.
But in between a cool front took the
sting out of the searing air across the
Upper Midwest and Great Lakes af

Manhattan, Kan., hit 100 degrees
by early afternoon while thermome
ters in the normally hot desert South
west touched 103 at Tucson and
Phoenix, Ariz., the hottest in the
nation.
Oklahoma was expected to get up to
as high as 101 degrees. "It's a little
above normal, but' it's nothing to get
excited about," said Larry Mooney,
deputy meteorologist at the National
Weather Service office in Norman.
"It's summer . . . Nothing really un
usual as far as Oklahoma is con
cerned."
Along the East Coast, Baltimore hit
a record 99. Pomona, N.J., near At
lantic City, hit a record high for the
date of 92. It was 94 in New York City;
two degrees shy of the record for the
date.

near the Bering Strait, had a record
low Monday of 27 degrees. Or maybe
in the Sierra Nevada range near
Reno, Nev., where 3 inches of snow
fell Monday morning. atop Mount
Rose, the National Weather Service
said.
The Midwest got a break when a
weak cold front slid southward during
the night and stretched from northern
Missouri across northern Indiana and
northern Ohio. Temperatures north
of that line were expected to be only
in the 80s with lower humidity, the
National Weather Service said.
Burlington, lowa, reached only 89

Downtown Detroit got to 88, com

state workers were sent home early
when a broken air conditioner sent
temperatures soaring above 95 in a
state office building, said spokeswo
man Ellen Jones.
Around the western end of the
front, hot air bulged northward into
Montana, with Billings reaching a
record 93. That warmth also spilled
into western North Dakota, where
Williston tied its record of 98.
Lyle Alexander, a meteorologist at
the National Severe Storms Center in
Kansas City, Mo., said the hot air
remaining over the central and south

an upper level high pressure zone
that's "not going to move a great
deal."
"There's no indication of it moving
east. It's going to be concentrated
over the central and southern Plains

days," he said.
But sticky weather persisted in the
East, where several members of a
military honor guard collapsed from
the heat at Fort Myer, Va., during a
retirement ceremony for Marine

Gen. John A. Wickham, Army chief
