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.
