It will only be in connection with the pass ing of one of the largest comets of the decade. The comet will afford excel lent opportunities for study by the members of University's astronomy class and other star gazing groups. Professor E. C. Coker an announced today that the as tronomy classes would study this unusual celestial visitor with particular interest. The comet has offten been thought to presage great ca tastrophies or events. This trveling star will burn brighter just before final exams and re ports. The claims that such an event is one of ill omen has thus been substantiated. After January 1st the new comet will be very low in the evening sky. On January 14, 1941 it will attain its peak brightness. There is likelihood that the earth will pass through the 60 million mile tail of the comet. If so, scientists predict that the only noticeable effect will be an unusual luminescence in the sky. -McKISSICK ASKS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Other items included in the pro posed budget are: A full time professor of public speaking and a full time assistant professor of library science.
