10-A Sentinel Star, Tuesday. May IB, 1978 0 Deck From 1-A that the upper deck sway was certified within safety limits and that the people should understand. Tnr-waves of outcry have shifted that position. "A year's worth of experience has shown us that we need to do something," Thompson said. "We need" to stiffen the upper deck.

What we have is really a cat nf Kloarhsrs anri not a firSt-claSS Sta- "Sway is not uncommon in a steel structure," Bose said. "For example, a 3-foot sway might be permissible or within the structural factor in a tall building. But that might be beyond the tolerance of the human factor. "When the World Trade Center in New York was being designed, a series of tests under lab conditions was conducted to see how much movement office workers could tolerate before their work became affected." Accordingly, the towering building was engineered to contain the sway within human tolerance rather than the more liberal structural tolerance. Bose said that precaution was not incorporated into the design of Chicago's John Hancock building.

"In the apartments on the upper floors, the movement is enough to see waves in the toilets," he said. "As a result, people moved out and they have had trouble keeping those apartments rented." City and stadium officials first took the stance The city has, however, employed Bertossa's firm of Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff to recommend cures for the project's various ills. Bertossa provided most of the cost estimates listed previously. "I think we've got basically a good facility," judged Bertossa. "It's now a matter of taking care of the problems of the upper deck and the gaps between the sideline and end-zone stands." It would take $160,000 to fill in the gaps with usable seats, the engineering firm has told the city.

But from a public relations standpoint, the most pressing order is the upper deck sway. "It's a psychological problem," said Bose, who was associated briefly with T-Bowl architectural project-manager, Thomas E. Lewis during expansion of the stadium. "Structurally it is within limits. But that is the structural factor.

What was disregarded was the human factor. gianraiu 9cv wi wvnwivni dium with concrete columns." Thompson and Bertossa discount the alternative I of completely removing the upper deck. They contend last season's Tangerine Bowl Classic I and Tampa-Tampa Bay-Atlanta football exhibition proved the upper deck seats are marketable. -r "Even with a warning," noted Bertossa, "people were buying tickets for the upper deck instead of available seats in the end zones." However, the number of people who will stay i away from the stadium completely until the deck's unsavory image is erased would be difficult to de-; termine. Orlando Mayor Carl Langford, like any successful politician, no doubt cringes at the thought of having his name connected with the controversial football stadium.

Yet it was he and his City Council who rescued the beleaguered stadium and its structural defects when the Orange County Civic Facilities Authority became buried in legal and financial problems'. "My hat's off to the city and the Civic Facilities Authority," declared consulting engineer Harry Bertossa. "They had a nightmare on their hands. With all that had to be done, it was a minor miracle to get that facility open in time for that first game." Nevertheless, it is the City Council's turn at bat again. City officials say there are no funds immediately available to make major corrections of the stadium.

Except for improved rest room and concession facilities and a new scoreboard, fans at the Sept. 16 Florida-Southern Methodist University game can expect to face many of the problems that have produced thousands of unhappy-T-Bowl customers. Lynn Thompson, city public services director, said the major repairs will await money anticipated from a pending CFA lawsuit against T-Bowl architects and engineers. The CFA expects to collect about $750,000 from the legal action, according to knowledgeable sources, but the complex lawsuit will not likely go to trial before early 1979. tt FLORIDA'S BEAUTIFUL ADULT RETIREMENT COMMUNITY it I- -1 "erf Jets From I-A Make today the first day of the best of your life.

Florida Democratic Sens. Lawton Chiles and Richard Stone voted against the arms sale. In a floor speech Stone predicted the sale "will kill the Sadat peace initiative which for the first time in 30 years has brought Egypt and Israel to the conference table." "If these planes were held out as a prize for cessful negotiations or recommencing the initiative, that would be one thing. But these planes are being delivered at a time when the Egyptians have deadlocked the talks," Stone said earlier in an interview with the Sentinel Star. He warned the closed-door Senate session Monday afternoon that "it would be very difficult for the Saudis to stay out of the next war against Israel, should that take place, based on what has happened and their leadership in the Islamic world." Despite a Friday night telephone call from Carter requesting support for the sale, Chiles voted against it.

"I think it's the wrong time to be doing it, right in the middle of the peace initiatives, and it seems like the wrong time to be adding new armaments to the discussions bat for the timing, I might vote yes on all of them," Chiles said. 7 7T Enjoy golf or just a relaxing evening stroll.
