Coker Explains Moon's Eclipse A total eclipse of the moon was visible on the campus Monday just after sunset and was observed by many University students. The moon was in total eclipse when it rose, and remained so for several minutes. Then it began to come out from the shadow of the earth; this process lasted a little Dver an hour. Unfortunately, the moon was ob scured by clouds during most of the time it was in eclipse, and ob servers could only catch glimpses f it from time to time when a rift in the clouds permitted. Mr. E. C. Coker, professor of Astronomy, tells an interesting story of his observance of the phe nomenon. "I had gone inside, be lieving that we would bee no eclipse that night on account of the clouds. Then a friend called me Dut, about six o'clock; through a rift in the clouds we could see the moon in total eclipse. We watched its emergence for about 15 or 20 minutes, when it was again hidden by clouds. "The fact that the moon is vis ible when in eclipse is explained by the bending of light rays passing mily . .. fulfiling the desire of ri the Lincoln-Zephyr V- 12 and field an established tradition - ilence and outstanding value.
