By STEVEN SHAW
Communications, at any time,
can be seriously affected by sud-
den and still unpredictable solar
waves that pierce our ionisphere
and cause almost complete fade-
outs in radio activity, Prof. Don- -
ald Menzel, Director of the Har-
vard College Observatory, said
yesteray.
Prof. Menzel pointed out that
when the sun is particularly ac-
tive, a short wave program may
fade away for almost an hour.
This, he explained, was probably
the result of what astronomers
now call the Delinger Effect-a
"Sudden Ionispheric Activity"' oft-
en caused by an abrupt hydrogen:
flare.
Notice During War
"We first noticed this during
the war," Prof. Menzel said, "and
it was an extremely well kept se-
cret then."' He noted that "if the
enemy had found out about this,
they could have staged an attack
when our communications were
caught in one of these fade-outs."
Adding to an explanation he
had begun on Wednesday, the
Professor speculated on the inner
activity of a sun spot. "A cold re-
gion descending and a hot one
ascending causes gas to flow out."'
Since the magnetic field is
strongest on the edge of the spot,
he compared the entire process to
a "gigantic organ pipe with the
gas spurting out as if it were
ejected from a hypodermic needle."'
The high speed atoms and hydro-
gen particles which result from
this pumping action form a "Sol-
ar wave."
Extends Past Earth
This is the highly irregular, ''ex-
tended region of the sun" which
may even extend past the earth. A
comet tail which is blown away
for these clouds, he remarked, is
sometimes evidence that it has
passed through this solar wind.
"'Clouds,'" he suggested, "may
be coming into outer sections of
the Earth's magnetic field and
partially tearing it away."
Prof. Menzel thought concern-
ed the actual nature of the sun
spot cycle. In attempting to ex-
plain the fact that these spots,
besides appearing in pairs in op-
posite solar hemispheres, also oc-
cur in eleven year cycles. He not-
ed that under the sun's surface
"lies a force" which appears on
Federal aid would "negate the
parochial views" which are ham-
pering higher education. Citizens
of Michigan pay taxes to the fed-
eral government which are used
for public projects, such as harbor
improvements, and "few people
would think of protesting this."
"Responsibility does not end or
begin at a state line," he explains.
The argument that the citizens of
one state should not pay federal
taxes to aid other states' schools
is "thoughtless," the soft-spoken
Sorenson charges.
Ban No Danger
"I have great respect for the
ability of college students to dis-
cern" the arguments of Commu-
nist speakers, Sorenson says in
reference to thie Universty's poli-
cy on subversive propagandist
speakers.
"A University should try to push
back restrictions . . . The Board
of Regents should take the lead
in this direction, ini terms of lead-
ership," however, not as a sep-
arate unit isolated from the rest
of the public.
be examined by the Unversity au-
thorities and in most cases author-
ity should be given without re-
ptical mo. re thacursory ex-
amination should be made" before
granting authority.
'Caution' Needed
If the speaker has a record for
distortion, "caution miust be taken
to present the other side," he ex-
plains. A good deal of care must
be exercised in considering "ad-
vocates of violent overthrow.
"There is a definite conflict be-
tween freedom of expression and
the responsibility we can give to
students," on the one hand, and
the problem of public relations.
Backs Coordination
Sorenson backs the formation
of a statewide agency to coordi-
nate activities and define long-
range goals of the various schools,
but without destroying the con-
stitutional boards of each.
"Such an agency should be ap-
pointive"' and could "evaluate the
needs of the existing or proposed
institutions and make appropri-
ate recommendations to the Leg-
islature."
The council should be as broad-
ly based as possible to eliminate
the reflection of biases of the
various Interested segments com-
posing the agency. He says he
feels the problem would occur If
representatives from each school
were to, compose the committee.
Thoughtful in his approach to
issues of education, Sorenson pre-
sents his views in an intelligent.
firm manner. He believes In a for-
ward-moving educational institu-
tion, not only in terms of growing
numbers, but of expanding Ideas.

poles.
hHe compared th evra dof
combs his hair in one direction
and then in another." An analog-
ous situation on the sun might
explain the peculiar magnetic re-
versals. Carrying his theory fur-
ther, Prof. Menzel suggested that
perhaps an outside element-such
as an irregular rotation of the
sun, might provide just enough
motion to "comb out" the lines of
force "one way and the other."
However, he emphasized that this
cannot be empirically proven.

A Joint Judiciary Council let-
ter warning students about the
increase in cases of attempted il-
legal purchase of alcoholic bev-
erages has been sent to all Uni-
versity residences with the excep-
tion of fraternity houses.
Charles H. Gessner, '61E, coun-
cil presidenit, said he would no-
tify the fraternities by speaking
to it Fraternity Presidents As-
The letter states the rising num-
ber of cases is caused by a com-
bination of more stdns a-
greater vigilance on the part of
local prpprietors.
Gessner attributes the crack-
down to' "the recent passage of
a city ordinance permitting the
sale of liquor by the glass. The
City Council has made It known
that increased vigilance Is a pre-
requisite for any new licenses."
"This letter is a reflection of
the counci' belie thaptrour ac-t
of offenses as well as counseling,"
he said-.
