These buildings are two observatories used by students taking astronomy 90, a three-credit nonmathematical astronomy course for nonscience majors The North observatory contains as six-inch refracting lens, and in the South observatory is a ten inch reflecting telescope. The South observatory telescope was built at the University and is clock-driven to . keep a celestial object in view as the Earth ro tates. This semester two planets, Jup iter and Saturn, will be visible, and the observatories will be open ten nights to the'public. The dates will be announced later. Astronomy 90 has had two hours of one night a week set aside for laboratory work. If the night is clear, the astronomers go to the observatories where they operate the telescopes and identify many celestrial bodies. The course does not require that the student see all the mythical figures which the stars are sup posed to form. In fact, this is im possible,- since many of the figures are very large while being made up of only a few stars. Sometimes these stars don’t even appear on the actual outline of the figure. These mythical images were imagined by shepherds and sailors •from about 500 B.C. to 500 A.D., who used to stare at the sky all night long. A few of the constel lations, however, have been named in modern times since there are a microcope, a telescope, and a grandfather’s clock in the heav ens also. .Astronomy disvorced itself from astrology during the Middle Ages when a few men of the day real ized that astronomy is an exact science, while astrology is an un reality based on fortune-telling by the stars. .

Candidates need not have attended last week’s meeting. thru She Looking Glass with Gabbi Every college has a legend passed on from year to year —yes, and every store has a reputation passed on from ear to ear. And ETHEL’S got the reason to go with her rep. Eavesdrop a bit with me and let’s see what she’s got cool and clever for you . . . Pressing room prob lems . . . poof! There are scads of dizzisms that can drive a person mad so why lqt closet clostropho bia be a chief bum? ETHEL can solve this dilemma with skirt and slack hangars that save hair-pulling (and clothes pulling) and adds a gala touch because they’re irridescent mother-of-pearl—it’s not real, natch, so not expensive, catch? Cleanliness is next fo cleverness. Stretch and yawn and chase thatpesty sandman real quick like in time for those 8 o’- clocks with a “loofah” wake up-your-skin, bath sponge oval, palm-shaped and terry cloth covered—it floats! And so much handier than a wash cloth. The damage . . . just one dollar. For those who didn't schedule Art 55. We all like to make our dorm and fraternity rooms a little more “dennish” (even if we can’t afford the bear rug) . . . so why not begin your inter ior decorating with a. •'bool conversation piece like a waste basket featuring Barn urn and Bailey circus posters straight from the band wa gons or for the more sophis ticated (we have some of those ■in our dorms, too), real pages from the London Times. These paper catchers can be had for just $3.00 and on up. Stop making an asSi of yourseif . . . and give yourself some place to put those “good for the rug” ashes besides in your roommate’s beer mug. In ETHEL’S you’ll find ashtrays with modern motifs to ash trays with bean-bag bottoms. They’re low priced, attrac tive and certainly make for a great gift. We can go on. for columns, but the printer thinks the bottom of the page should be the end . . . but we don’t think it should be the end of your visit to ETHEL’S. So amble down real soon and browse to your heart’s con tent—and tell her Gabbi sent you—will you? ■■nw»^iaßße^iniT a ™^ 12 E . Coll E 6 I AV E . STATE COIIESE, PA. PAGE FIVE
