He cut to the sidelines, picking up a couple of blocks, then danced past a would-be Tech tackier and was on his way. The partisan Seminoles in the Tangerine Bowl's east side upper deck, already in ecstasy over the widening FSU lead, jerked to their feet and roared approval. Just as Tom Kelley feared.

He knew that with any sudden movement of the fans, the, upper deck would sway and creak. The fences around it would rattle and the unthinkable would flash ominously through thousands of horrified minds. suddenly several fans agreed, at dawn's early light." During-the 1976 Tangerine Bowl game, a month after the upper deck movement had been first experienced at a regular season college game matching Florida and Miami, the sway was measured. Hired by the city of Orlando to diagnose the various structural ails of the newly expanded T-Bowl, the engineering firm of Howard, Needles, Tammen and Bergendoff triangulated sophisticated optics to determine the upper deck moved one one-sixteenth of an inch well within design tolerance. "When I was up there experiencing it, I would have sworn there was more movement than it was," said HNTB's crew-cut Harry Bertossa, who once played in the stadium as a 140-pound guard on St.

Pete High's 1946 football team. T-Bowl, Page 13-A Kelley sat with his family last Dec. 23 in the east stands, his foot resting against one of the steel columns supporting the T-Bowl's controversial upper deck above him. Perhaps more noticeable than, any other time since construction, the deck swayed forward and back. Kelley could see it move.

He could feel it with his foot. Even with his training to understand tolerances of steel structural movement, the sensation was unsettling. To many of the laymen around him, it was terrifying. The act of upper deck occupants standing in unison shifts the center of gravity forward 12 to 15 inches, the experts explain. The structural reaction is a delayed vibration that escalates upward from the base of the columns in whiplash fashion.

The sway has been felt each time the crowd stands for the national anthem, becoming The swaying deck is just one of the undesirable features that were by-products of a large civic project that offers a classic "how not to" handbook for local leaders planning the new convention center and arena. "It's a heckuva position to be in at a football game," recalled Kelley, an Orlando civil engineer, "but we dreaded each time there was touchdown or a big play." lic' zmt 8 A ft: Women in 41 pet. of U.S. jobs United Press International Dispatch WASHINGTON Putting off Lit HI if i If LABOR. and children Jonger, to- v3 aay women are getting an ever-mcreasing share of America's jobs and now make up 41 percent of the total labor force, the Census Bureau reported Saturday.

The bureau said the number of working wives continued to increase, rising from 40.5 percent in 1970 to 46.4 percent in 1977. Young women are delaying marriage and childbearing longer. About 43 percent of the women married in the 20-24 age group in 1977 had not borne children, compared to 36 percent in 1970 and 24 percent in I960. The number of women in their early 20s who have not married went from 36 to 45 percent between 1970 and 1977.

Based on interviews with 53,000 households interviewed monthly, the report pulls together assorted population figures mentioned in earlier surveys. Items: An estimated 1,914,000 un-marsied adults of the opposite sex were living together in 1977, an 83 percent increase since 1970. The marriage rate went up marginally from 9.9 per 1,000 in 1976 to 10.1 in 1977 but was still below the peak of 11.0 in 1972. The number of marriages of 1977 was 2,176,000, nearly twice the number of divorces, 1,097,000. About 38 percent of the first marriages of women in their late 20s may eventually end in divorce, the bureau estimated.

It said women in the same group with an incomplete college education were more likely to be divorced, 49 percent, than those with exactly four years of college, 29 percent. The average size of an American household has declined from 3.14 persons in 1970 to 2.86 in 1977. Median or mid-point family income in 1976 (the only figure available,) in constant dollars, was $14,960, about $500 higher than in 1970, and was 3 percent higher in 1976 than in 1975. White families had a median income in 1976 of $15,540, black families $9,240 and Spcnish origin families $10,260. Families headed by females had a median income of only $7,210 compared with a husband-wife family whose median income was $16,200.

By D1ANNE SELDITCH Stnlliwl Star Staff DAYTONA BEACH This is a story about a man and his faith. John A. Jackson who answers to "Bud," has clear blue eyes, the kind that seem to draw from a well of strength. His closest friends, who describe his faith as "phenomenal," say they marvel at the way he has reacted to the near certainty that his son and his son's friend are dead. "If the Lord called them, that's OK, for He must have needed two more evangelists," said Jackson, 39, who directs the First Baptist Church of Winter Park's outreach program, which concentrates on evangelism.

"But if not, and If they're alive and someone's holding them, that's what I'm concerned about." Saturday Jackson was helping in an extensive search of Volusia County to eliminate the possibility that the two had drowned or had been left in some uninhabited inland area. He left the Winter Park church about 9 a.m. "The last time they went searching they found the car right away," he said, referring to the hunt he made May 1. The abandoned, unlocked car was found near the boardwalk in Daytona Beach with clothes, wallets, keys and a wristwatch left in it undisturbed.

Search, Page 19-A The following is columnist Emia Bombuck special tribute to mothers on their day. When the good Lord was creating mothers He was into His sixth day of "overtime" when the angel appeared and said, "You're doing a lot of fiddling around on this one." And the Lord said, "Have you read the specs on this order?" She has to be completely washable, but not plastic; Have 180 moveable parts all replaceable; Run on black coffee and leftovers; Have a lap that disappears when she stands up; A kiss that can cure anything from a broken leg to a disappointed love affair; And six pairs of hands; The angel shook her head slowly and said, "Six pairs of hands no way." "It's not the hands that are causing me problems," said the Lord.

"It's the three pairs of eyes that mothers have to have." "That's on the standard model?" asked the angel. The Lord nodded. "One pair that sees through closed doors when she asks, 'What are your kids doing in when she already knows. Another here in the back of her head that sees what she shouldn't but what she has to know, and of course the ones here in front that can look at a child when he goofs up and say, 'I understand and I love you' without so much as uttering a word." "Lord," said the angel, touching His sleeve gently, "Come to bed. Tomorrow "I can't," said the Lord, "I'm so close to creating something so close to myself.

Already I have one who heals herself when she is sick can feed a family of six on one pound of hamburger and can get a 9-year-old to stand under a shower." Mother, Page 19-A 1 Richard WelliSentintl star 'Floating body sighted Jackson takes notes, checks it out, nothing.
