Astronauts ready
for third flight
SPACE CENTER, Houston (AP)-
Astronauts who will fly America’s space shuttle
on its longest scheduled flight so far said Thurs-
day thev were looking forward to the dream as-
signment and hope the government won’t
shortchange space research in the next federal
budget.
Veteran space traveler Jack Lousma and
rookie Gordon Fullerton addressed reporters in
their first news conference before the third flight
of the shuttle Columbia, a seven-day mission ten-
tatively set for the fourth week in March.
"Everything about this flight is going to be a
new adventure for me," said Fullerton, formerly
an Air Force test pilot. "Re-entry and landing
should be the culmination of w hat I think is the
dream assignment for any test pilot.”
It will be the third journey into space for the
Columbia, which last April became tne first
spaceship to land like an airplane on its return
from orbit.
Scientists have several new experiments on
board, but the primary mission is more testing of
a remote control mechanical arm designed to
deploy and retrieve satellites.
Thursday’s news conference was conducted
two days after Reps. Jack Brooks, D-Texas, and
Don Fuqua, D-Fla., toured the Johnson Space
Center and urged President Reagan not to reduce
NASA’s budget. Reagan submits his recom-
mended budget to Congress Feb. 8, and Lousma
was asked about a possible shortage of funds.
“One of the long suits of this country is basic
research and technology, and if we shortchange
ourselves in those areas I think we’re undermin-
ing the very thing we’re good at,” he said. “I
think we need to continue to support all kinds of
basic research, including that in the space
program.”
Columbia’s second flight last November, a
planned five-day mission, was cut to three days
when one of three batteries aboard failed.
Clements accepts
debate challenge
MSI IN, I exas (AP) Republican Gov. Bill
Clements on Thursday accepted a League of
Women Voters’ invitation to participate in a
televised autumn debate against his Democratic
challenger.
"I believe in these debates. I think it is an im-
portant part of our election process,” Clements
told the League’s Election Laws and Practices
conference.
The governor said it is “terribly significant (for
voters) to see and hear live and first-hand can-
didates."
Democratic contenders for Clements’ job in-
clude Tyler Sen. Peyton McKnight, Attorney
General Mark White and Land Commissioner
Bob Armstrong.
"After they have sorted out their problems,"
Clements said he would be willing to debate the
Democratic nominee “any time, any place, under
practically any circumstances.”
The debate invitation was extended by Diana
( lark, chairman of the Teague’s Texas Educa-
tion I und She called Clements one of the most
accessible governors in recent history.
Clements praised the l eague for its 61 years of
work toward fair and impartial elections. He said
the organization could help in an upcoming
state-w i Jc voter registration drive.
"This drop in voter participation has occurred
despite ever-improving communications and bet-
ter laws governing voter registration and voting,”
Clements said.
Political candidate
calls self alternative
AUSTIN, Texas (AP)—Democratic guber-
natorial candidate David 'i Gang said Thursday
his self-financed, low-budget campaign would of-
fer voters ;m alternative to tycoons and lawyers
who run the party.
Young, 37, said Republican Gov. Bill Cle-
ments is nothing more than a “watchdog for
other tycoons.
"I'm a true Democrat where it counts — right
here in my heart,” Young told a Capitol news
conference
Young said he would not seek financial con-
tributions and would not accept any that had in-
ferred or implied commitments.
"I'm out to earn people's votes, not to buy
them,” he said
Young, who paid his $1,500 filing fee on Jan.
4, said he quit his job as a salesman at
Montgomery Ward in Richardson, Texas, last
week He said he would campaign full time until
tin primary Mav I but planned to spend less than
$10,000.
lie calle 1 his platform one of new equality —
equality of representation, taxation and oppor-
tunity.
“What we have is elitist democracy run by ty-
coons and lawyers. We need to expose the error
of elitism," Young said.

TV' offer runs out
Housing delays cable
By GLENN LANE
Daily Reporter
Despite student anticipation of cable television
hookups being installed in dormitory rooms, there are
no plans being made by either the Housing Department
or the Electronic Instructional Media committee to al-
low its introduction in rooms
During its first year of franchise in Denton, cable
television company Golden Triangle Communications
approached the Housing Department with an offer to
install cable televis.cn lines in NT’s dormitory rooms
free.
James Peterson, director of housing, said he had un-
answered questions about cost and engineering, as a
result administrators allowed the one year in which
Golden Triangle Communications could budget for
this expense to expire.
Now it would cost $20 per room to have cable in-
stalled, said Brandon Barnes, Golden Triangle Com-
munications manager.
However, the Electronic Instructional Media com-
mittee, an official organization of NT developed to in-
vestigate media usage, is planning to incorporate the
cable system in an advantageous way.
NT students will broadcast programs on cable chan-
nel 32, a channel reserved for use by NT. These
programs will include instructional services, art and
music programs, play productions and intramural
sportscasts.
“When one of these programs is not being shown, it
is tentavively scheduled that the station will be oc-
cupied with an electronic edition of The North Texas
Daily,” said Terry Holcomb, chairman of the
Electronic Instructional Media committee.
"This is as far as our programming can go with the
budget we now have,” Holcomb. "If we really want to
get into quality programming and sustain standards of
quality we need grants. The university is on a very tight
budg-'t.’’
Another use of the cable will be advertising NT’s
class offerings, Holcomb added.
In April or May, all 19 academic buildings will be
wired for reception and the Auditorium, General
Academic, Music, Education, Speech and University
Union buildings will be wired to broadcast as well,
Holcomb said.

Door to draft
remains open
Bv LARRY HUNTER
Daily Reporter
It is unlikely that any American
men will be drafted in the near future,
but for several years to come 18-year-
olds will be required to register for
the draft, Dr. John Kincaid of the
political science faculty said.
President Ronald Reagan con-
tinued draft registration „ proove to
the United States’ European allies
that the United States is serious
about strong defense, Kincaid said.
Reagan had promised during his
presidential campaign that he would
not continue draft registration, but
because of circumstances in Poland
the President reversed his postion on
registration, Kincaid said.
Kincaid said that the majority of
Americans do not favor draft
registra,.ofl. Americans are more in-
terested in U.S. domestic economic
problems, and they won’t concern
themselves with opposing Hrqfi
registration, he said.
Another reason that Americans are
not interested in draft registration is
that they think a draft is unlikely,
because the United States govern-
ment is emphasizing nuclear instead
of conventional armaments, Kincaid
said.
Kincaid said that opposition to
draft registration and defense
spending will increase as Americans
make connect the state of the
economy and defense spending.
Americans will realize that the bil-
lions of dollars spent on defense arc
less productive than if the funds were
spent in the public sector, he main-
tains. Kincaid said a billion dollars
spent on a Trident missile submarine
would create more jobs if it was spent
on housing.
Kincaid said he opposes draft
registration because it increases the
temptation to use military force in-
stead of diplomacy to settle inter-
national disputes.
If for some reason the draft was
needed it would be more difficult for
men to avoid being drafted than dur-
ing the Vietnam war, Kincaid said.
There will no longer be college defer-
ments, and it will be more difficult
for a man to be classified as a con-
s.ientious objector.
Kincaid said during the Vietnam
War, men could build files with local
draft boards, showing they were
legitimate conscientious objectors.
He said that will not be possible now,
and men will have less time to prove
they are conscientious objectors.
Kincaid, who counseled men who
wanted to be conscientious objectors
during the Vietnam War, said that a
man seeking conscientious objector
status should seek professional
counseling. He said individuals and
groups that counsel conscientious ob-
jectors arc not helping men evade the
draft but are advising them of their
legal rights. He compared the
counselors to companies that help
people prepeare income tax state-
ments. Tax consultants aren’t helping
people evade taxes but are helping
them figure how much tax they owe
the federal government, Kincaid said.
The Central Committee for Con-
scientious Objectors, the National
Interreligious Service Board for Con-
scientious Objectors, and the Fel-
lowship of Reconciliation are three
groups that counsel conscientious ob-
jectors, Kincaid said.
To be classified as a conscientious
objector an individual must convince
the local draft board he has moral or
religious reasons that prevent him
from fighting a war.
