How rriariy times have you had to explain to a bewildered fresh
man or transferl student that Penn State really DOES have rainy
seasons, as -they;have undoubtedly heard—or is this year different?
■Even the meteorologists working at the University Weather Sta
tion," though confused,' are enjoying the fall weather this year.
The University Weather Station
set-up, typical of regular, fore
casting. stations throughput the
nation, is the most col
lege weather bureau in the state.
“Maybe this is true because we’re
the only - one in . Pennsylvania,”
Dr. Charles L. -Hosier, meteorolo
gist at the station, modestly added.
Private Weather Service
Contrary to common belief, the
University Weather Station has
no : .connection, administratively
with the federal government. It is,
therefore, not a public weather
service operated for the purpose
of informing students when they
may hold wiener roasts, big dan
ces, or swimming parties. It does
supply this information upon re
quest .but not as students often
believe—weeks or months in ad
vance! >
The purpose of the station is
primarily for student instruction.
Besides regular courses for un
dergraduates, the division of
meteorology offers a special three
semester post-graduate' course to
men 'sent by - the Air Force from
all over .the United States.
The 45 students now enrolled
in this course will receive B.S.
degrees in meteorology and will
then serve in the Air Force as
weather, forecasters.
Only One Phase
Students are often unaware of
the. . important research being
conducted at the University be
cause they see only one phase of
a professor’s life, his teaching.
For example, Dr. Hosier explains
that the Meteorology department
at Penn State is known all over
the world for its research in met
eorological optics, concerning the.
causes of halos; mirages, blue
sky, and other common pheno
mena.
Laboratory work in cloud phy
sics, more commonly termed rain
making, is another example of
the intensive research program
being : undertaken by University
meteorologists. However, students
can hardly blame the campus
weathermen for spraying . the
-State College clouds with dry ice
in the spring, for all experiments
are safely conducted in the Min
eral Industries Building—with
the windows closed.

WRA Badminton Club
Meeting Time Changed

The meeting time has been
changed to accommodate basket

Daily Collegian are put up daily
on the roof of the MI Building by
senior meteorology students. The
purpose of the flags is to indicate
the prominent characteristic of
the weather for the following 12-
hour period, and they are changed
during the day if the weather
forecast changes.
A survey made by the Centre
Daily Times early in the year
showed that the weathermen were
getting a raw deal in being
blamed for making inaccurate
predictions, for they were ac
tually right 90 per cent' of the
time. No wonder they pre
dicted rain every day!
