Opi inion survey-- (Continued from Page 1.) 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 follows: OF ALL STUDENTS.

And a good 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.

Yet, the heretical sun spots which upset existing theories about the sun persisted, and this week Union schedules E.M. Whitesmith Earnest M. Whitesmith, traveler, lecturer, author, and authority on Robert Burns, will speak at a lit erary forum jn parlors X and Y of 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 ciology classes. Whitesmith is the co-author of a yet unpublished manuscript entitled, "The History and Development of American 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. LEARN TO DANCE Jain danclnf elm.

Friday, January 19, 1940 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.
