Plane crash claims 62 lives
CARACAS, Venezuela (UPI)
—An Air France jetliner bound from Santiago, Chile, to Paris crashed into the Caribbean and exploded shortly after takeoff from Caracas Wednesday night, apparently killing all aboard. Air France said the plane carried 62 persons.
"There are apparently no survivors," said Capt. Francisco Ro-

sophomore, said they had been subjected to similar humiliation on the same tour.

sas, a rescue worker. "We found bits of wreckage and some seats floating in the sea, but no sign of survivors."
Gen. Gregorio Lopez Garcia, who took over rescue operations, said that five bodies had been recovered.
Air France spokesmen both in Caracas and in New York said the four-engine Boeing 707 carried 41 passengers, in addition to 11 crew members and 10 other Air France employees.
"It would appear there were no United States citizens aboard the flight," a spokesman said. "But we have not confirmed this vet."
The aircraft went down in the sea shortly after taking off at 5:05 p.m. CST from Caracas' Maquietia International Airport. The plane hit the shark-infested water and exploded about one mile from the runway.
The plane, Flight 212, originated in Santiago, Chile, and had made stops in Lima, Peru, and Guayaquil, Ecuador. It was scheduled to fly on to Paris with intermediate stops at Guadalupe and Lisbon.
The crash was the second air
disaster in Venezuela this year and the fourth since 1967.
Juan Enrique Aranguren, an eye witness to the crash, said he saw a "huge ball of fire falling into the sea" while riding in a bus to the airport.
He said "there were two kinds of flames, one green and the other yellow."
Another witness, Jose Sandoval, said he "heard an explosion as soon as the ball of fire hit the sea.
A number of planes, helicopters and an armada of ships converged on the area of the crash site.
It was the first major air tragedy here since last March when a Viasa DC9 smashed into a crowded slum area in Maracalco, Venezuela's second largest city, killing a total of 154 persons in the world's worst air disaster.
Almost 12 months ago another Boeing 707 crashed off Maquieta International while attempting to land, killing all 50 persons aboard the Pan American Airways flight.

Unrest survey opposed
A questionnaire dealing with campus unrest has met with opposition by several members of the University of Kansas faculty.
The questionnaire is part of a study conducted by the Midwest Research Institute to determine the factors and issues which contribute to campus unrest at the six state schools and has been sent to a random sample of students and faculty.
Questions dealing with opinions of black studies, ROTC and treatment of students who disrupt University activities are among those discussed in the questionnaire.
E. Jackson Bauer, professor of sociology, said complaints of sociology department members who received them centered on wording, improper questions and the methods used in conducting the survey.
"The study could give a biased view of the students and faculty." Bauer said, "it may or may not be accurate, because those holding one view may be the only ones that return the questionnaire."
On Nov. 21, four K-State faculty members released a statement advising the faculty not to participate in the survey contending that it contains several deficiencies and has the potential to incriminate those individuals who respond.
The Governor's Committee of Criminal Administration contracted the Research Institute to
handle the survey. From its findings the Institute will recommend to the Committee what factors cause campus unrest.
The Committee was asked by Gov. Robert Docking to use funds for research into the causes after last spring's disturbances on the KU campus.
Paul E. Wilson, professor of law and Committee member, said the Committee in no way directs the method of study employed by the Institute.

Wilson, who is also chairman of the campus American Association of University Professors, said Tuesday that the AAUP Executive Committee recommends that individual instructors decide for themselves whether to cooperate or not. He said that some have found the questions offensive while others have not.

Bauer and Wilson said many instructors objected that questions concerning their occupation and personal data could easily pinpoint an individual although the survey assures anonymity.
Ernest Rice, chairman of the Governor's Committee said Tuesday that because of the protest issued at K-State, all the questionnaires will be destroyed once the Research Institute has compiled it into a report that will be submitted to the Committee.
He explained that the Committee only wants a report concerning campus unrest that will be available to any state agency or the committee itself so that steps may be taken in dealing with problems.

Apollo report depicts moon dead, stable
SPACE CENTER, Houston (UPI)—Scientists said Wednesday the moon was almost certainly once a molten glob but it now appears to be a dead and "very stable" body showing no signs of moonquakes or a "seething core."
Gary Latham of the Lamont Geological Observatory, who reported signs of moonquakes from instruments left behind by the Apollo 11 crew, said he was sure now that what really caused the signals was meteoroids striking the moon.

Latham said the impact of Apollo 12's Intrepid landing craft, which the astronauts sent crashing back to the moon when they were through with it, proves the moon behaves strangely when it is struck.
It was this strange behavior—a prolonged "rumbling," possibly caused by the rubble with blocks up to a half mile or more across—that caused him initially to interpret the meteoroid impacts as internal movement of the moon, Latham said.

In their first major report on Apollo 12 scientific returns they also said a huge layer of rubble may make up the lunar surface, and that a surprisingly strong magnetic field was found where the second American moon landing crew touched down.
