UNIVERSITY PRESS January 15,1982*2
Astronaut Bean
keynote speaker
Retired Astronaut Commander
Alan Bean, the fourth man to walk on
the moon, will deliver the keynote ad-
dress at the 29th Science Education
Conference to be held at Lamar Jan.
25-26.
Bean’s address highlights a Jan. 25
banquet honoring 300 participating
Southeast Texas junior and senior
high school science teachers, visiting
lecturers and other dignitaries, W.
Donham Crawford, conference chair-
man, said.
Lamar University will host the two-
day conference and is a co-sponsor
with Gulf State Utilities Co., the
Thomas Alva Edison Foundation and
the Texas Education Agency.
“Attracting one of the great
pioneers of our era as the principal
speaker exemplifies the esteem the
Science Education Conference has
captured in 34 years of assisting
science educators in providing
science education for students,” said
Crawford, chairman of the board of
Gulf States Utilities and vice chair-
man of the Edison Foundation.
“It is most appropriate for Alan
Bean to participate in this con-
ference. The technology of science
has enabled man to do things he
dreamed for centuries, such as walk-
ing on the moon. By encouraging
young men and women to investigate
and pursue careers in science^
engineering and technology, man
may be able to accomplish those
things that are only dreams today."
The holder of 11 world records in
space and astronautics, Bean was
lunar module pilot of Apollo 12 when
he and Capt. Pete Conrad made
man’s second moon landing in the
Ocean of Storms in November 1969.
Bean and Conrad explored the
lunar surface, deployed several lunar
surface experiments and installed the
first nuclear power generator station
on the moon to provide the power
source.
In 1973, Bean was spacecraft com-
mander of Skylab Mission n during a
59-day, 24.4 million mile world record
flight. He logged 1,671 hours in space
including 10 hours and 26 minutes out-
side the spacecraft on the moon and in
earth’s orbit.
The former U.S. Navy captain is in
the early stages of a new career as a
professional artist. Bean paints
moonscapes—drawings that reflect
what he saw and experienced on the
moon.

viser, said. The fraternities will hold

the Greek system at Lamar,” she
said.
Any woman student interested in
participating in this rush must ac-
quire and return a form to 102 Setzer
Student Center by today, she said.

ed in the local strike negotiations,
Johnson said that he is encouraged
because of possible solutions emerg-
ing between Gulf and OCAW.
“The most important thing is for
unions to reach aggreements while
continuing to work, so as not to lower
productivity,” he said.
The annual meeting of the institute,
which will serve three purposes-
groundbreaking, adjustments and
bylaws, and confirmation of program
plans- will meet Jan. 29, Johnson said.
The ground breaking ceremony is
scheduled to begin at 2 p.m., he said.
At least two students and a faculty
staff adviser of each organization are
encouraged to attend the seminar,
she said.
Topics that will be discussed in-
clude publicity through the Universi-
ty Press and University Public Infor-
mation Office, decision-making, com-
munication, budgeting and motiva-
tion.
Also, recruiting, delegating, self-
motivation, personal productivity and
parliamentary procedure will be
discussed.
Adjustments in bylaws will also be
made and formally adopted, he said.
Initial program plans for confirma-
tion emphasizing 1982 will also be
presented, Johnson said.
A bid has been let for a general con-
tractor, and will be announced at the
Board of Regents meeting Jan. 22, he
said.
June 1983 has been set as the possi-
ble completion date for the 45,000
square feet building, he said. It will
have a distinctive design which will
be in accord with the rest of the cam-
pus.
