Radio Astronomy Helps Teach About Universe Radio astronomy is helping people learn more about the uni verse than the strongest tele scopes. Ronald Bracewell told a Dad’s room audience last night. Radio wave receivers have been able to detect radio waves far beyond the limit of telescopes, he said. Not only are astronomers able to detect bodies too far away for telescocpes, but they can ex plore the galaxy through the clouds of cosmic dust which makes it obscure telescopes. Bracewell pointed out. “Radio astronomy has one very practical application." he said. “Disturbances on the sun, which disrupt trans-Atlantic communications, can be detected by radio transmitters 24 hours before they appear or. the earth. With this knowledge. trans-At Air Force Group Drills at Creswell Twenty-three members of the Air Force drill team will put on an exhibition at Creswell high school Saturday night during the intermission between junior var sity and varsity basketball games.

Theater staff and alumni will appear in a special Reader’s Theater today and Saturday as part of the University's Festival of Arts. The production will be done in the “Laughton” style which has been made popular by various groups in recent years.

Readings from three other plays will also be included in the program which is designed to “bridge the gap” to the early American, patriotic drama which was discussed by Fredrick J.

Greek Week (Continued from ('<uie one) “we never had a Greek Week to begin with. We're not even thinking of a serious side or anything constructive.” He suggested that concentra tion be placed on a single all Greek event. Finally, by a vote of 22 to 13. with two fraternities absent, the group approved the plun calling for athletic contests, a picnic on campus and an all-Greek dance. Opposition was based primar ily upon the number of events planned and the work necessary to make them a success. Final details of the “week" will j be worked out by the -committee.; In final action, the combined groups rejected a suggestion by Williams that the name of Greek Week be changed and. accepted a motion by Bob Pollock, presi dent of Sigma Chi, that the name bo retained in line with future, plans.
