on Saturday afternoon from 1:30
to 3:30 wili be the dessert lunch
eon at Carrie Belle Raymond for

it is hoped, will set a precedent
for further affairs. Each of the
regents scholars in Carrie Belle

are also regent scholars this is
to include only the freshman and
sophomore; thus limiting the num
ber of guests to an informal group.
About 60 guests are expected to
attend, and will be entertained in
the ballrooms and recreation rooms
with games and folk dancing. In
this way regents scholars will be
recognized and acquaintances
among the group furthered.

students 86 per cent favor
R.O.T.C. training.
In its most extensive research
poll the Surveys has yet attempted,
interviewers from coast to coast
were assigned to ask this question
of a mathematical cross section of
collegians representing every in
stitution of higher learnirg in the
nation, "Do you believe R.O.T.C.
military training either compul
sory or voluntary should be
taught in colleges and universities
or do you believe it should not
be taught at all?" The Surveys
found approval everywhere, with
these variations:
1. Although a good majority
are in favor in every section of
the country, the largest number
of dissenters one-fifth in each
case was found in the East Cen
tral and West Central states.
2. Only 4 percent more women
than men are opposed to the
R.O.T.C.
3. Military training is most pop
ular in schools where it is volun
tary, least where it is not taught
at all.
4. Of students who approve, well
over half believe it should be vol
untary only.
The national tabulations are as

many of the students not taking
militaiy training have a violent
dislike for it.
Larry Nelson, arts and sciences
freshman
Military is a good thing because
it teaches a young man good man
ners, respect, posture and obedi
ence, and therefore. I believe the
training should be compulsory.
Eddie Muir, bizad sophomore
It should be taught, but not be
made compulsory. I think it does
some fellows a lot of good if they
intend to continue the training
into the advanced course. Others
who have no liking for it should
not be forced to take military
training because it would do no
good.
Alfred Tan Creti, arts and sciences
freshman
R.O.T.C. should be offered the
way it is now compulsory for
the first two years and voluntary
for advanced. It gives a young
man a chance to find out what
military life is like and in case
he is called to war the training
would be more simplified.
Louis Ouren, bisad sophomore
Military training should be put
on a voluntary ba-sis because a
better quality of man in obtained
and consequently more cooperation
and coordination.
Milt Behrens, bizad freshman
I wouldn't be coming to school
if military were not offered. I am
in favor of it being cumpulsory.
With the present war in Europe
we should build up our national
defense and this is one of the logi
cal ways to do it.

Collins says
Anybody can see sunspots
from astronomy observatory
Not only was it derogatory to
the sun to be termed anything but
bright, but also Aristotle had
never seen sun spots, so when Gal
lileo and a few of his contempor
aries made the first telescopec ob
servations of sun spots they and
their theories were branded as
heretical by the educated people
of their clay.
Yet, the heretical sun spots
which upset existing theories about
the sun persisted, and this week

Earnest M. Whitesmith, traveler,

Robert Burns, will speak at a lit

the Union Monday afternoon at 4
p. m. He will discuss Burns.
Following his talk, Whitesmith
will give several readings from
Burns. Canadian bom, he lectured
here a year ago before Alpha
Kappa Delta, honors ry sociology
fraternity. During his last visit,
he also spoke before several so

Ethics."
fered but it should not be made
compulsory. The only thing I have
against a course or tnis nature is
that every time anyone dons the
khaki he assumes a nue-narions
attitude which does not benefit
American neutrality.
Jean Wolf, bizad senior
I decidedly feel that R.O.T.C.
should be taught, but not neces
sarily COmDUlsorv. It is an esspn.
tial factor in the building of the
youth of today against the wars
of tomorrow.
Wendell Snockel, teachers sopho
more I don't think military training is
important enough to require com
pulsory attendance, however, I do
believe it should be offered.
John Strauch, bizad sophomore
Compulsory training is a good
thing-. It prepares the young man
for eventuality.
Bus Knight, bizad junior
Compulsory drill insures a means
of training in military sciences
and tactics which is an important
requirement of an understanding
of world affairs.
Wilbur Schmall, engineering fresh
man It doesn't hurt any one to have
a little military training, therefore
I believe it should be compulsory.
In case something does happen we
will at least be better prepared
for it.

any student who took the troublo
to drop into the astronomical ob
servatory could see sun spots by
applying to Prof. O. C. Collins, as
sistant professor of astronomy.
Whirling gas
Sun spots are masses of whirl
ing gaseous material on the sur
face of the sun, which, because
they are cooler than the sun, show
up as tiny black spots on the sur
face of that body. About 1,500 de
grees cooler than the sun, the
spots give off more light than the
most powerful artificial light ever
built.
No absolute method exists en
abling astronomers to predict when
sun spots will appear, but over
long periods of time they tend to
reach their maximum about every
11 years. During the years 1939
40 the spots should have reached
their maximum. The present spots
are approximately 15 times the
size of the earth or about. 120,000
miles in diameter. Spots in alter
nating cycles differ in their elec
trical influence.
Sun spots are solar disturbances,
and during the past years have
been blamed for a great many dis
turbances on earth. Today, how
ever, they are generally thought
to influence magnetic storms on
the surface of the earth, the dis
plays of the Aurora Borealis, ir
regular growth of trees as evi
denced by their rings, and slightly
lower temperatures on the surface
of the earth.
