Yankee Clipper heads for splashdown

oxygen high," Conrad said. "It was much easier than we had practiced. I was just having a ball."
"Once the first 10 minutes are over and you sort of realize that you now know you can hold your balance, that you are not going to fall, then you can get down to operational things." Bean said.
"Pete and I spent about two years getting ready for this mission and thinking about what our chances were of getting to the moon and getting back home."
Bean said it depended then and would always depend on the team of trained people on earth and the "hardware that works." He said the success of the flight was a "fantastic tribute" to the people
of the North American Rockwell Corp., who built the Yankee Clipper, and of the Gruman Corp., builders of the Intrepid landing craft.
"You look like a bunch of bats hanging from the ceiling."
When the color TV picture first came on the screen it was upside down and mission control said:
"That's what flying this thing will do for you!" Conrad said. "That fourth guy in here holding the camera can't speak English so we can't tell him to turn it around."
The television transmission ended with the astronauts turning the camera on a plaque which read:
"Yankee Clipper sailed with Intrepid to the Ocean of Storms, Moon, Nov. 14, 1969."
Campus political leaders air views
(Continued from page 1)
College Republican president John Ruth, Wichita junior, charged Agnew is "seeking support for the Nixon administration from people upset with unrest. In a lot of ways," he said, "he seems to be trying to take some pressure off the administration."
Ruth said he did not believe the news media are trying "drastically" to slant the news, and many of the Nixon-Agnew administration's concerns about media unfairness are "blown up out of proportion. I think most people laugh them off," Ruth said.
Dickeson approved of the Senate's rejection of Judge Clement F. Haynsworth's nomination to the Supreme Court. He said he feared Haynsworth "would have fought for reversal of many liberal laws," including those pertaining to electronic "bugging," search warrants, informing an arrested person of his Constitutional rights and the right of every man to counsel.
Ruth said he believed Haynsworth would have been of benefit
"I don't care what kind of ethical reasons were involved" in the rejection, Dickeson said, maintaining that Haynsworth's political views were sufficient to make him unfit to sit on the Supreme Court.

to the Court although, he said,
the conflict of interest charges
against the judge might have
worked against him.
"The Supreme Court has to be above reproach." Ruth said, "and with the amount of smear against Haynesworth, it would have been difficult for the Court to function."
Ruth said he believed the Supreme Court needed more conservatives for balance, but he wouldn't want the Court to "turn so conservative that it stifled chances for changing the laws."
Despite earlier political actions, "when a person reaches the Supreme Court, he rises to the occasion," Ruth said.

Conrad said his most apprehensive moment came when it was time to launch Intrepid off the moon, but he said that overall he was a lot calmer than he had expected.
As Yankee Clipper neared home, Conrad's wife, Jane, and two of his sons, Andy, 10, and Chris, 8, went soaring in an engineless glider from a small airfield near Houston.
Communicating to the ground via a little walkie-talkie he carried with him, Andy said he believed he would rather be a glider pilot than an astronaut.
