Amateur stargazers welcome at University’s Bend observatory Free tours of the only ob servatory in Oregon are available until early fall at the University’s observatory at Pine Mountain near Bend. Visiting hours are 1 to 5 p.m., and 7 p.m. to dark, Thursday through Sunday. Afternoon visitors are given a tour of Lie observatory; evening guests also have an opportunity to look through the 24-inch telescope. The observatory, the site in recent years of some spectacular discoveries in astronomy, will be used this summer for three major research projects. A research group using the 24 inch telescope will be looking at changes in radiation sent out by certain hot, rapidly rotating stars over periods of hours and even minutes. Astronomers have known for some time that the atmospheres of these stars change over the years, but it has only recently become clear that the changes can be noticed in much shorter units of time. Hie other project involving the large telescope will take ad vantage of something that happens only twice every 11.86 years—when the orbital plane of the Galilean staellites passes through the sun and the earth. When this happens, the satellites eclipse and hide one another hundreds of times over a period of about eight weeks. Pine Moun tain observers will be able to see 20 of these eclipses this summer. The other telescope at the observatory, a 15-inch, will be used to continue the research of E.G. Ebbighausen, professor of physics at the University, on double stars that continually revolve about, and eclipse each other (eclipsing binaries). Visitors ot the observatory may reach it by car by driving east on Highway 20 from Bend, then turning at the tiny town of Millican onto an eight-mile gravel road leading directly to the observatory.

Veteran enrollment up at LCC More than 450 veterans, including 18 women, are enrolled this summer at Lane Community College. All are receiving GI benefits. Of the total of 453 veterans, 174 are enrolled in associate degree or college transfer programs, while 271 are signed up for vocational programs. An additional eight ex-GI s are taking high school com pletion classes. LCC veterans’ affairs coordinator, Barbara Harmon, said the summer term total was higher than normal, which is in line with overall enrollment figures for the college this summer. At the end of the first week of classes, approximately 1800 students had signed up for credit programs at the college. In the past two years, credit course enrollment peaked at less than 1400. The school’s total enrollment won’t be known for about one week because registration for the non-credit (adult education, high school completion) classes is not yet completed.
