Plan Enforcement Of Bicycle Rules The Office of Student Affairs announced that bicycles parked illegally or in racks in classroom areas for over 48 hours during *the spring vacation will be im- pounded. Students are urged to leave bi- cycles at their Ann Arbor resi- *dences, although all bicycles on University property which do not bear a current license will also be Impounded. 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. PROF. DONALD MENZEL ... radio interference the surface, broken into magnetic 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. / -P-T-- SEGE FRIDAY, APRIL 14, 8:30 P.M. 'ANN ARBOR H.S. AUDITORIUM TICKETS NOW ON SALE: DISC SHOP, 1210 S.
