'Superman Exam OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE COLLEGE FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 24, STATE COLLEGE PA Students Announce Informal Activities For 18th Annual Dad's Day Weekend Is The Moon Real) , Made of Green Cheese?— This w ill he answered when the College observatory, above, devotes next week's study to the aforementioned heavenly body. Sessions will be open to students and townspeople, Monday through Thursday from 8 to 9 p. m. College Observatory Will Open Next - Week For Study OF Moon open College observatory will be. open to students' ano townspeople. Monday through Thursday- of next week from b' to 9 p. m., Hen ry L. Yeagley, associate professor of physics, announced yesterday. The object of next week's study will be the moon. Because of an unusual arrangement of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus, a schedule will be released so that local astronomers may view the • spectacle. The observatory, a- gift of the class of 1938, was constructed in 1939 through the efforts of Pro fessor Yeagley; it was also at his suggestion that . the telescopes were constructed at the college. The suggestion saved approxi mately $5,000 on each of the two units. To those . who have a desire to make astronomy a hobby, Profes sor Yeagley stated, `.`lt is a mis taken idea for one to think that a person must have a knowledge of mathematics to undicrstand astronomy, for any intelligent ma ture person with an average edu cation probably has an under standing of the necessary back ground to appreciate its funda mentals. Research "is now being done independent of any mathe matical work and hundreds of amateur astronomers are nightly taking data with and without tele scopes, which is of outstanding im portance to the work being dorie by professional astronomers them selves."
