Space and Clouds Star
In Wednesday Lecture
The multi-shaped dark and light
areas that lie between the star
clusters of the milky way, were
discussed by E. G. Ebbighausen,
associate professor of physics,
Wednesday night in the browsing
room lecture on "Space Betweeh
the Stars.”
Illustrating his discussion with
slides, he pointed out several of
| these nebulous regions, including
the galaxy of Orion, which is heav
ily obscured with hydrogen.
According to Ebbighausen, these
areas were once regarded as tun
nels, devoid of stars. Now they are
considered as opaque clouds,
screening star that lie beyond. "A
newer theory holds that stars are
being produced in obscuring nebu
lae,” he noted.
The bright clouds, he continued,
are simply dark clouds illuminated
Red Cross Board
Petitions Asked
Red Cross Board petitions are
now being called for by Joan
Walker, president. Open to men
or women, board positions include:
president (must be a junior or
senior next year), vice president,
secretary, treasurer, promotion,
special events, winter term blood
drive chairman, disaster chairman
and Roseburg hospital chairman.
Petitions are available at the
Student Union, third floor, and
may be turned in to Miss Walker
at Kappa Alpha Theta, Janet Bell,
Delta Delta Delta, and Valera
Vierra, Carson hall.
by an imbedded or neighboring
star. Since no two stars have an
identical spectrum, science is able
to tell what star is illuminating a
certain region by passing the star’s
light through a spectrum, he
added.
The possibility of two stars col
liding in interstellar space, where
the air density is finer than any
vacuum man could ever produce,
is very remote, ho stated.
“Suppose you were to play bil
liards on a table as large in area
as the United States, using stand
ard size balls. The possibility of
your cue ball bouncing off the Gulf
of Alexico to strike another of
these widely spearated billiard
balls, is no less remote than the
chance of two stars colliding,” he
said.
Ebbighausen concluded with a
brief discussion of the Alpha Gam
ma Beta theory, which attempts to
explain the distribution of the
chemical elements.
Anonymous Cards
Should Be Claimed
Seven drop and add cards—

dents are still considered enrolled

thinks one of the cards might be
his should contact the registrar's
