Discovery ry lands in desert EDWARDS AIR FORCE BASE, Calif. (AP) Discovery's astronauts swooped out of orbit to a pre-dawn desert landing today to end a sensational space salvage mission that restored life to a derelict $85 million satellite Commander Joe Engle and pilot Dick Covey guided the 100-ton space plane to a touchdown on a hardpacked sand runway at 6:15 a.m. PDT, nine minutes before sunup, after a 2.9 million journey. xenon lights had illuminated the runway at this flight test center earlier but were turned off before landing because it was light enough for the astronauts to see the strip. "Looks like this bus is coming home," Engle commented an hour earlier as he fired braking rockets high above the Indian Ocean to drop the shuttle out of orbit and start it on a fiery dive through the atmosphere on a course over the Pacific and across the California coast north of Los Angeles.

Two loud sonic booms cracked as Discovery descended, its fuselage glistening in the rays of the rising sun as it circled overhead and made its approach. During a week in space the astronauts dropped off three communications satellites for commercial customers and, during two bold weekend space walks, James van Hoften and Bill Fisher rewired and electrically energized the Syncom 3 satellite which had been disabled since it was launched by another shuttle crew in April. Hughes Communications owner of Syncom 3, reported that a ground station had checked the satellite and found its batteries and liquid-fueled rocket systems in good shape, despite four months in the deep cold of space. "Outstanding," Engle said Monday. "'That's good news." Signals received from the 712-ton satellite by Hughes engineers showed that only about a fourth of the liquid fuel froze in a steering rocket system.

Officials said this was no problem, and they fired up the thrusters to spin the satellite for stabilization. Steven Dorfman, president of Hughes Communications, said the big unknown now is the condition of Syncom's solid propellant rocket, which is designed to boost it to a stationary orbit 22,300 miles high. In its present 230-mile-high orbit the payload is useless as a communications relay station. Dorfman said the satellite will be manuevered in the sun for several weeks to allow the 8,000 pounds of solid propellant to thaw. If it does not thaw evenly, cracks could develop that would cause the rocket to explode when commanded to fire.

"It's pretty easy to look back now and say, 'Nobody shouldn't have done Trouble began in 1983 with a devastating drought. Since then have come more dry weather, low prices and interest rates that topped 14 percent.

"I've never seen two (bad) years back to back," Schroeder said. "We've had Despite the tough times, signs of optimism abound at home. On the refrigerator, next to a counter crowded with homemade pies made with apples from the family's orchard, are posters with childlike figures. One says, "If God be with us, who can be against us?" Another says, "Every cloud has a silver lining." Government loans have kept Schroeder going for two years. But while the family can meet the $85,000 yearly interest payments, it hasn't made a dent in its debts.

As the Schroeders see it, the doors are shutting, one by one. The Farmers Home Administration, which gave them operating loans, has no more money. for refinancing loans, the Schroeders said.

signal Oct. 29. "The next question is whether the engine will turn over," Dorfman said. He called the repair job a "remarkable achievement" that "demonstrates what the space shuttle and the manned program can do." Such an endorsement is music to the ears of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, which is in a competitive battle for satellite delivery services with the European Space Agency's unmanned Ariane rocket. NASA contends the shuttle is much more versatile than Ariane because astronauts on board can check the health of a satellite before releasing it and.

as on the current flight, they can retrieve and repair payloads in orbit. So far, shuttle crews have repaired two satellites in space and have collared two others for refurbishment back on Earth. Insurance underwriters paid Hughes $85 million for the loss of Syncom 3. If it is completely revived, the underwriters stand to recoup up to $65 million of that in a profitsharing arrangement with Hughes, which leases the Syncom series of satellites to the Navy for military communications traffic. Hughes invested $12 million in the salvage effort, including a payment of $8.5 million to NASA for executing it.

In separate incident: of the Tipton County Sheriff's Department recently arrested Ronald Cox, 46, Kokomo, and charged him with hunting without a hunting license. D. Purvis, 27, Rt. 2, Sharpsville, was arrested at 8:30 a.m. Sunday by the Tipton Fire Marshal and charged with arson.

He is being held in the Tipton County Jail in lieu of $7,500 bond. No further information was available on the arrest this morning. ACCIDENT A Tipton man was arrested Sun- Indiana The challenge facing education goes beyond the hard numbers of budgets, achievement test scores and population statistics to questions about schools' fundamental mission. "It's time to evaluate what is school for. What do we want to do?" said Evans, a former educational specialist with the Indianapolisbased Lilly Endowment.

Schools have accepted certain responsibilities that detract from their primary, edcuational mission, Evans said. "It seems like every psychic and social problem, we look to the schools to solve them. We have desegregated our society through the school system," he said. "We've gone to schools to solve the problems because we feel that's where it can be done after the family fails, after other parts of society fail to do it," Evans said. "We can't back off our services to students, but we should let the schools kind of back out of some of their responsibilities," said Evans.

He recommends that schools set up partnerships with businesses or social organizations to continue programs such as driver education and recreation. Full responsibility, for the programs might eventually be shifted from the schools, he said. In the classroom, schools need to go beyond teaching the basic skills, and focus more intently on higher order skills and individual achievement, educators say. "Where I think we bogged down in public schools is the higher order skills, such as abstract reasoning and problem solving," said Evans. Theodore Kowalski, dean of Ball State University's teachers college, says that.

Anderson, 44, 222 Mound was charged with driving while his license is suspended and driving while intoxicated (a Class felony). He is being held in the Tipton County Jail in lieu of $10,000 bond. Anderson was driving west in the 200 block of East Washington Street at 10:45 p.m.

Sunday when his vehicle collided with a parked car belonging to Larry Gibson, 232 E. Washington according to a report from the Tipton City Police Department. The report indicated Anderson left the scene of the accident and later was arrested. (continued from page one) modern society, students need primarily to learn how to learn, to become receptive to new ideas and skills. "We are now living in a time when you don't stop learning when you finish formal education as a child," said Kowalski.

One possible educational change would be to increase the emphasis on individual instruction and on a student's responsibility for selfimprovement, educators say. Theodore Sizer, professor of education at Brown University in Providence, R.I., says many recent educational remedies, such as mandatory study of certain subjects, are ill-conceived. "Nobody's thinking about the issue, and the remedies coming out are very wrongheaded, such as states mandating that all students of a particular grade study subject SO many hours a year, and everything will be OK," said Sizer. "But it's a face, perhaps an inconvenient one, that students learn at different rates." Michael R. Cohen, director of undergraduate studies in education at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis, says a back-to-basics approach won't solve all educational problems.

Schools must also encourage excellence, he says. "Whenever there's an Olympic meet, there's always potential for breaking a record, but with education, we're satisfied to go back to the basics, to set up a program with the implication it's not going to change for years," Cohen said.

"The whole floor fell in at once" for farmers, he said.

The Schroeders have options. They could pare their operation, but then, they say, they wouldn't produce enough to erase the debts. The advertisement remains one hope, albeit a slim one. "I know there are millionaires in America," Ed Schroeder said. "Many don't need to make a profit on their investment." The Schroeders, too, have faith.
