Soon, those folks will be able to seek a compatible, live-in companion through a nationally sponsored shared housing program. In El Paso, the program is being coordinated by the life Management Center (formerly called the El Paso Center for Mental Health and Mental Retardation). The Life Management Center will identify homeowners and, home-seekers who want com about the program for El Paso because "housing (in El Paso) is a very definite problem for older persons." A one-time fee might be charged for participants in the program. An advisory council made up of representatives of various community organizations is studying that issue, Ramirez said. The shared-living concept is sanctioned by the National Shared Housing Resource Center of Philadelphia.

One of its corporate sponsors is Levi Strauss. Levi Strauss will give a $1,500 grant Thursday to the Life Management Center to help pay for the planning. signed a counselor. Counselors will make follow-up checks every 30 days. In addition, the Life Management Center will provide home inspections and home repairs.

The eligibility requirements are few. At least one of the peo- Ele must be older than 60. The ome must have a private bedroom for the home-seeker and a common living room and kitchen to be shared, Ramirez said. A college student "who doesn't want to party a lot" could qualify for the shared housing program, he said. Contracts will establish living arrangements, work sharing and cost sharing.

The production of the acid a byproduct from smelting copper and how it has been disposed of "has been going on for years," Peterson said. "It's nothing new." Abalos said he learned of the problem from testimony presented last month to the New Mexico Health and Environment Department's Occupational Health and Safety Bureau in Las Cruces.

The testimony came during a public hearing about the proposed Right-to-Know law, which is intended mainly to ensure that workers be informed about hazardous chemicals in the work place. The proposed legislation also would give citizens access to information about hazardous chemicals in their area. fighters and other emergency workers who said they need to know what chemical hazards exist in their areas so that they will know how to respond. "My belief is that the company, the towns of Bayard, Hurley and the school administration should get together and come to an understanding as to what should be done," Abalos said. "Of course, we know an accident may not happen for 20 years.

But at times, there are 12 loads a day being carried through there. And there was an accident about two or three years ago." Bayard Fire Marshal Paul Martinez confirmed that a spill did occur as a tanker was entering Bayard about three years ago. Martinez said it was not a bad spill, but he said The spill was handled by covering the acid with neutralizer, Martinez said. imtmmu. iiMimicusn Mini i IllSn IIS I4S MS IIS I mm ISLUB tUSSUII ns.

Chino Mines Human Resources Manager Gene Peterson said the haul route goes from the Hurley acid plant at the copper smelter there through Bayard to the Santa Rita open-pit mine. There, it is used in a leaching process to extract more copper from the ore, or it is sold on the open market. Peterson said. Most of the and Hurley, N.M., daily is insisting that company and public officials work out routes and procedures to prevent accidents and reduce danger if one occurs. Alfredo Abalos, retired from Kennecott's Chino Mines Division since June 1984, said tanker trucks haul sulfuric acid daily from the company's acid plant in Hurley through Bayard to the Santa Rita copper mine east of Bayard.

Abalos said the tankers' route goes through residential areas and two school crossings. Few citizens in either Hurley or Bayard appear to be aware of the potential hazard, Abalos said. 3 HUM iooseswws nmuutiuHsmnii lonitisimmmi BUM WISH III SIS IS 115 SIS IIS III sa i a i a sa a i a Among those testifying at the acid that is sold is hauled out by Las Cruces hearing were fire loumrmmcm iimmimsmnn I IS.

Weldon also took part in the 1981 NASA study of the rail gun's potential as a space launcher. Both the weapon and the the cargo launcher would be powered by a unique high energy "compact homopolar" electrical generator developed by Weldon and other UT engineers. In the current weapon test model, the black steel casing surrounds two copper rails about a half-inch apart.

Brief bursts of 2.500 megawatts of electricity have accelerated plastic cubes between the rails to velocities of 2.79 miles per second. That velocity is more than twice as fast as the fastest bullet from a conventional gun. The challenge, Weldon says, is to achieve velocities of more than 5 miles per second AUSTIN (AP) University of Texas researchers are working on a "railroad into space" that could be used to shoot down Soviet nuclear missiles or hurl 1-ton cargoes into orbit around the Earth. Military scientists say huge versions of the electromagnetic rail gun, a 3-foot-long black rectangle of machined steel, would be mounted on satellite battle stations as part of the Strategic Defense Initiative program com monly known as Star Wars. But the National Aeronautics Space Administration says the same technology can be used in building a rail gun 1.2 miles long that would hurl commercial cargoes into orbit.

"To do anything serious in space military, scientific or commercial you need a railroad into space," William Weldon said. "This thing could make a 1-ton shot every five minutes." Weldon is director of the UT Center for penetrate the quarter-inch steel plates commonly used to shield the components of intercontinental ballistic missiles. The Star Wars program envisions putting rail guns as long as 25 feet into low Earth orbit. They would be capable of 60 accurate shots a minute at ranges of about 600 miles. In the cargo-launching study, the UT researchers have recommended building copper rails 1.2 miles long up the side of a dormant 15,000 foot volcano in Hawaii.

Weldon said the rail gun could launch a ton of cargo into orbit for 65 cents a pound, compared with about $4,500 a pound for space shuttle launches.

Woman guilty of shooting teen DALLAS (AP) Jurors convicted a 65-year-old woman of aggravated assault Monday in the shooting of a high school student after what she described as years of abuse she suffered from pupils at his school.

Stein could be sentenced up to 10 years in prison after jurors finish hearing character witnesses and deliberate her punishment. Hijacked guard resisted escape DALLAS (AP) A security guard who was disarmed and forced to drive a hijacked Greyhound bus more than 50 miles says he considered escape but decided it would be too risky on the busy highway.

Mark Showers, 30, of Irving said the only things he could think of doing, such as swerving sharply, might have caused him to lose control of the bus and endanger other motorists. After an 80-minute chase involving a Dallas police helicopter and more than 50 officers from five departments, the abductor surrendered lust before the bus reached a roadblock near valley View in Cooke County.
