adio Telescope Picks Up ound Waves From Stars
[A radio telescope which will reive sound waves from the stars *s explained yesterday in an in-frview with John A. Russell, head the department of astronomy. |Dr. Russell said that although ps is not a new discovery', per-this telescope, which is being ited at Ohio State univer-Jy under the direction of John D. ius. professor at OSU. is one of largest yet to be designed.
the war. a certain radar ratus began picking up strange ids which were thought to be enemy signals. Upon closer ion it was found that the >raent picking up these strange was directed towards the sun. *■
,-as then realized that rad.o emitted from the stars were fg picked up.
This strange telescope which will resemble an over-sized bedspring mounted on a 160 foot long steel cradle, will receive waves from the stars and record them, either by a pen moving on paper tape or on sound recordings. The recording devices will be housed in a large trailer.
The sounds are like low-pitched whistles with occasional swishes and grinding noises or as Dr. Russell said:
“They are similar to the sounds coming from an older model of garbage disposal with a soft drink bottle in it.';
Dr. Russell said that this apparatus could be useful for detecting stars beyond the range of telescopes.
‘It is possible for a star to become so cool that it wouldn’t emit enough light. Radio waves, how-
| ever, will help scientists detect those stars which cannot be seen,”
! he added.
Because there are so many stars in Che heavens, doubt was once held ; as to the accuracy of the waves | from individual stars sbeing picked up, but it has since been discovered . that this is a highly sensitive instrument and can pick up radio waves from within one-twentieth of a degree.
Some of the nearest stars which probably will be observed are more than a million light years away.
“Although this discovery may not show any apparent use now, scientists can never predict when a small bit of information may be the piece that which fits into and completes a larger picture,” said Dr. Russell.
JACK TILLAR . . . seeks talent
ety of acts and numbers which will put the production into the “Guys and Dolls” category,” said Tillar.
Everything except the title and a be chosen after the casting this few minor changes has been worked out by the students. The title will week is completed.

A total of 1772 SC students were among the 6500 World War II veterans who carried on their college educations in California with the help-of the Cal-Vet state aid program during the fall semester, State Director of Veterans’ Affairs D. J. Callaghan Jr. said yesterday.
To be eligible for the aid plan, veterans must have been Califomia-bom or state residents at the time they entered the service and who served at least 90 days prior to Jan. 1, 1947. Students enrolled full time on the plan receive assistance in the form of tuition and fees up to $50 a month.
SC’s total of students aided by the plan was the highest among colleges and universities in the state. California at Berkeley was second with 761, UCLA, 501, and Stanford, 206.
The 6500 total for the fall semester in California boosted to 27,000 the number of World War II veterans who have used the Cal-Vet educational benefits since the aid plan was established in 1943. Callaghan said.
The Department of Veterans* Affairs, which administers the Cal-Vet program, spent' $1,401,548 In helping the fall-term students continue their schooling.
Most of the veterans taking advantage of the plan are graduate or professional students who have used up their federal O. I. benefits. Cal-Vet helps these veterans to
continue their educations, Callaghan added. Preference for assistance in the plan is given to ex-servicemen who have' exhausted their federal aid.

But there will have to be an honest' effort and appreciable progress or we will have to set another strike date.”
