Shuttle
continued from p. 1
But the high-powered portion of the beam failed later in the day, forcing the astronauts to call off an attempt last night to create an atmosphere of neutrons and electrons into the frigates of Earth's atmosphere.
The four research astronauts working in the $1 billion lab in the cargo bay of the shuttle Columbia were being pushed hard by scientists who had worked with them for years, and the fliers' resulting annoyance showed.
"YOU GUYS need to recognize there are two people up here trying to get all your stuff done." Robert Parker told Wubbo Ockels in the science department of the college he worked on a couple of tasks during the "red" shift.
"I think you might be quiet until we got one or the other one of them done," he barked.

scientists directing the operation of 72 different experiments.
Mission scientist Byron Lichtenberg said, "I think we're pretty aesthetic about the whole experience up here. I think Spacelab has lived up to all its expectations so far."
THE FOUR scientist-astronauts participated in a televised "news conference" with six reporters at the Johnson Space Center, but a communications foul-up prevented direct reporter-to-astronaut questioning. Pilots John Wheatwater Shaw did not take part in the conference.
Headquarters
Garrilli, who spent 59 days in orbit aboard the old Skylab, was asked what he thought of the opportunity to spend a 10th day in space in the shuttle.
" that sounds like good news to me," he said.
"If we can do that, I think that will ease things some and I'm sure we could find plenty of things to do in an extra day."
"It's a really good and hard training program," said Kelly, who completed the program last summer. "You feel like you get a good workout on the kinds of things you'lllll enjoy."
The program includes group discussions and role-playing of past events in the volunteers'

LARRY CARTER, assistant director, coordinates the training program. After the training, he said. Headquarters expects the volunteers to work for at least six months.
Headquarters' image differs among Lawrence residents, Carter said, depending on what experience they have had with the center. Even the name "Headquarters" was derived in 1969 from a bit of drug-culture slang — drug users were often known as "heads."
Kelly said, "There is still some residual drug effect left over, but that's pretty out-of-date. Since we deal with some of the funkier elements in our practice, we've straight-laced people don't really appreciate us."
BUT DRUG problems now make up only a fraction of the Quarterly* work, and its image is not as good.
ALTHOUGH THE services and function of Headquarters probably won't change soon, Epstein said, the staff may want to work more with long-range planning and with public relations to increase Headquarters' visibility in the community.
community had been supportive of the center, and that those who were not supportive often didn't know just what Headquarters did.
Also, Headquarters will have to move from its present location within a year, where it has been since 1974, because the owner wants to use the building. Epstein said that the staff would look for a similar house on Massachusetts Street or at the bank to stay convenient and visible to the community.
Epstein has been working at the center since 1975, and she said that she had seen several changes since she became director in 1979. More people are volunteering in the program, and least two volunteers.
Headquarters is financed by the Lawrence United Fund, which contributed $22,300 this year. KU student activity fees, which added to other and city and county government sources.

the shuttle to be in the right spot to attempt contact.
continued from p.1
Chylstek, Grand Rapids, Mich., junior, said the group would have only about 17 minutes each time the shuttle circled the Earth when they went to work. He made the line-of-sight transmission necessary.
Stensby said that anyone interested in joining the group on the roof would be welcome.
The members of the KU club said that amateur radio was traditionally an individual hobby, and that it was normal for all the hams to be trying to reach the shuttle on their own.
"The tradition is one of a free-for-all." Steeny said.
Chylstek said, "Personal accomplishment is part of the hobby. Those who have done the right thing get to talk to him."

pool their equipment and talent when they attempt to make contact tonight.
Garriott, who has been broadcasting in his spare time, radioed from the shuttle yesterday that he had monitored him operators from the space station. He also operated radio他 has aboard the space shuttle
Garrillo, a ham since he was an Oklahoma schoolboy, is expected to go on the air several times a day during the mission. On even-numbered minutes, he transmits on the frequency of 145.5 megahertz. On odd minutes, he monitors 10 other frequencies.
The club will broadcast constantly to try to ensure a contact with the shuttle.
DURING THE mission, the astronaut is expected to reach two other famous hams — King Hussein of Jordan and Sen. Barry Goldwater of Arizona, said Bob Hamson, director of the Scanner Association of North America, a Chicago radio society.
Chylstek he said he wasn't sure what advantage there would be to having amateur broadcast in space, but said it related to ham radio operators' tendency to get involved with world affairs.
Ham operators often assist in communications during disasters. Some of the first communications from Grenada after the siege of that island came from amateur radio operators.
Stenby added that the ham transmission from space would help NASA maintain public interest
The club, which normally meets the second Thursday of every month, has about 15 members. Stensby said that most of the group had some personal equipment, and that the club had a hodgepodge of gear, including a homemade antenna, for today's broadcast.
MOST AMATEUR radio enthusiasts start at a young age. Stensby said. They usually become interested after seeing a neighbor or a relative use a ham radio.
He also said that ham operators represented a real cross-section of the community, ranging from doctors to gas-station attendants.
Checks

with officials of the Department of Administration.
Diane Groh, Huntington Beach, Calif., graduate student and an employee of the departments of mathematics and chemistry, said that she had not been paid by the math department since September and did not receive payment from either department yesterday.
She said that the state and the University owed her 982 in back paychecks.

After some haggling with other KU administrative officials, Groh finally wound up applying to the Kansas University Endowment Association for a loan of 60 percent of her salary.

about 100 University employees to apply for
him. He said that the loans would be available
today.
The Endowment Association, as it did last month, will issue no interest loans to University students.
Patterson said after the comptroller's office closed yesterday that the unpaid and underpaid employees would be the first to be paid "when the system straightened out."
RUTH WEIR, a secretary in the Museum of Anthropology, said that she had received twice as much money as she was entitled to last month. She returned the money promptly. But yesterday, instead of a paycheck she received a notice to report to the comptroller's office.

After discussing the matter with officials at the comptroller's office, she went to the Endowment Association office to apply for a loan.
"I'll get 60 percent of my check tomorrow,"
"I guess I'll get the rest when I see it"
And in the end, "I'll get $600."

"This is not going to cost the state any money," Denney said. "It will save money in the long run."
The state Department of Personnel reclassified KU police officers in early 1982. They had originally been classified to make about the same salaries as security guards. If Carlin approves the reclassification, they will be formally classified as University police officers.
AFTER THE Department of Personnel approved the reclassification, the police departments in Lawrence and the Med Center tried for almost two years to find the money for raises.
The 11 police officers on the Lawrence campus resigned because of the delay, Denney said.
KU Police Lt. Jeanne Longaker said that during that time community services and the detective division were not able to function because they had to fill in on patrol duties.
