More Spaee Volunteers Needed Unfortunately, the e n t i r e campus was not in orbit with the project. This Space Symposium idea though, is basically a sound one. A Symposium of this type draws credit to the University and every student in the Univer sity. 'Dhe situation was summarized neatly by Captain Campbell -n his fina-1 word before the last lunch eon session: "To all .the students t who have helped and burned the mid-night oil on the project, my -heartfelt thanks." "We know that we have made mistakes . . . and, in the future Symposiums, I feel that the > groundwork has been laid." This is a just and honest self-appraisel as far as it goes, but It doesn't go far enough. Looking to the Future The atmosphere at the sym posium seemed to be "look at us, we're having a symposium." Al most like "Look, Ma, no -hands!" The men who spoke were compe tent authorities in their field, but they seemed to be laboring under the handicap of not knowing THIS MAN? have the following Qualifications: Self-Confidence Likes To Meet People $1,20042,000 this summer. the Following Areas: nce Spartanburg Greenville Above Qualifications of the 12 Selected. d not apply. application 10:00 A.M. and 5:00 P.M.

Students of astronomy know it well; others are simply aware of its presence. But everyone knows the familiar sight of the grey building with the strange green dome. I it Only One in S. C. Observatories and stations cover the world; scientists, as -n stronomers, and amateurs scan to the skies-a source of constant o study for man. This is especi '- ally true during this age of rockets, missiles, and satellites! r The state of South Carolina et has only one observatory; the a same one we all see every day, 6- located on Green Street, facing - down Bull. Built in 1928 e The observatory was com . pleted in 1928 by architect Car roll Johnson of Columbia. Its re dome was designed by R. W. g Selou of Middletown, Conneoti n cutt. a In 1926, as building began, James Wilson Hanahan, a Winnsboro attorney whose hobby o was astronomy, presented the University with the main ob jective lens of the big telescope d now housed in the Observatory. C- The lens is a reflector of 16 :e inches diameter, ground by hand 4 by the lens expert John A. Brashear of Pittsburgh, Penn sylvania. The telescope itself g was mounted by the firm of e Bausche and Lomb, Rochester, to New York. Through use, it was rt discovered that the best result We from the telescope was obtained with a magnification of 500. Gift to Carolina -d. The Observatory was a gift from Edwin G. Selbels, a loyal and distinguished alumnus of g the University (Class of 1881). I- Seibels stated that it was "a to gift from a friend to a friend, e in memory of the service, for k- tune, and life William Davis Melton gave to Carolina." Melton was a former president g of the University who died in o 1926. The building was promptly 6. named Melton Memorial Obser vatory, in his honor. nPresentation Ceremonies e-r At the presentation cere se monies on May 25, 1928, Dr. s- Davison McDowell Douglas, then e president of Carolina, accepted the gift. In presenting it, Seibels said to him, "It is my 1, pleasure to give you the keep e- of this 'building, and I hope to se count on you always as my friend, as I did your predeces ?

Astronomy Courses Astronomy courses have been taught on the Carolina campus for over 40 years. At the time of presentation of the Observa tory, the professor of astronomy was E. C. Coker.

On Mon day and Thursday it is used by students in their astronomy labs. Wednesday, it is open to the public, and many visitors come. Special groups are al lowed to come on Tuesday and Friday.
