CANIC ERUPTIONS:
(elley, Dingle Question Drought Theory

College Roundup

. wmftm . .

A

TODAY

By STEVEN HALLER
lthough it is an interesting
athesis that a definite connec-
exists between a recent series
olcanic eruptions on the is-
of Bali and the severe
ights that the United States
been experiencing, the idea is
what within the realm of con-
ire so far," Prof. William C.
Y of the geology department
d recently.
recent theory connecting the
phenomena had been set
1 by Prof. Aden B. Meinel (4
University of Arizona in Tuc-
who suggested that if one
ralian worker's idea - that
or showers can cause heavy
fall in otherwise arid regions
w the equator-is true, then
e rains could conceivably have
balanced by droughts north
he equator.
of. Meinel explained that vol-
c dust, disseminated at high
udes, provides nuclei for the
ation of ice crystals, which
descend to form raindrops.
cording to Prof. Meinel's
ry, the dust that was respon-
for the southern rains has
spread to northern latitudes.
will be interesting to see if
oming winter is unusually wet
fe north," Prof. Meinel noted.
,of. Kelly commented that
the geologic standpoint, it is
atter of record that major
mic eruptions have led to rap-

id but temporary dispersion of
dust over vast regions. Whether
these particular Balinese erup-
tions have been responsible for
the droughts in this country "is a
problem which finds no solution
in previous geologic studies," he
added. -
Prof. Kelly went on to say that
the question would seem to be es-
sentially a meteorological one.
"Prof. Meinel's idea appears to
provide a sound mechanism for
localized rainfall, but I have no
idea of the degree to which sim-
ilar eruptive activity has been ac-
companied by correlative periods
of drought."
Past Action
"Along this line, geologists have
concerned themselves mainly with
the interrelationship of past vol-
canic activity and major climatic
change on a level that might
effect glaciation. There is no
striking parallelism between times
of past volcanic activity and past
periods of glaciation," he com-
mented.
Prof. A. Nelson Dingle of the
meteorology department expressed
strong skepticism that any mater-
ial change could be effected in the
climate of the Northern Hemis-
phere directly because of volcanic
eruptions in the Southern Hem-
isphere.
He explained that the circula-
tion of air currents in the re-

spective hemispheres was divided
by a tropical belt of currents, thus
hampering the flow of air from
one hemisphere to the other.
Prof. Dingle added that it is
difficult to know how the distri-
bution of precipitation is spaced,
especially over oceans.
He suggested that alternation

between areas of heavy precipita-
tion and areas of slight precepita-
tion occurs from one longitude to
another. "Such alternation could
also be true of temperature varia-
tion, explaining why last year's
winter was unusually cold in Mich-
igan and yet unseasonably warm
in Newfoundland," he commented.

FARMVILLE, Va. - The Ro-
tunda, newspaper of Longwood
College, a state teacher's college
for white women, was advised by
school officials to modify its stand
in demanding integration of
Farmville's only motion picture
theatre.
Editor Donna Mae Humphlett
responded to the pressure by
leaving the editorial page blank
except for a brief explanation in
the center of the page. Public
schools in Prince Edward County
have been closed since 1959 to pre-
vent desegregation.

CAMBRIDGE-Despite an in-
creased program. of financial aid
to Negro students, Dean of Admis-
sions and Fincancial Aid at Har-
vard University Fred L. Glimp an-
nounced that no significant in-
crease in Negro applicants has re-
sulted. He was confident, how-
ever, that the program would in-
duce a steady rise of Negro appli-
cants during the next few years.
Harvard's aid program is part
of an Ivy League-wide "Talent
Searching Program" which is de-
signed to attract qualified, but
economically deprived students to
the schools through a program
of personal contact and financial
assistance.
CAMBRIDGE-Mrs. Barbara M.
Solomon, dean of East House of
Radcliffe College, announced the
possibility of all-night study dates
in the new school library now
under construction. She stated
that although the library itself
would not remain open all night,
a room might be set aside for
night-long studying by Radcliffe
girls and their dates.
PHILADELPHIA - The refusal
by the administration of the Uni-
versity of Pennsylvania to grant

a campus auditorium as site for a
proposed speech by Alabama's
Gov. George Wallace brought out
200 pickets to protest the deci-
sion. Plans for the speech were
originally formulated by the Law
School Forum, but were dropped
and thesvisit by the governor
labelled as too risky.
At that point the college news-
paper, the Daily Pennsylvanian.
undertook sponsorship of the pro-
posed speech, working our secur-
ity arrangements with local po-
lice and presenting their request
for an auditorium to the adminis-
tration.
HAMILTON, N.Y.-More than
1000 persons watched firemen
fight a blaze early Sunday morn-
ing in the 90-year-old adminis-
tration building of Colgate Uni-
versity. A university spokesman
said that it might take years to
replace the university's records
which had been destroyed in the
fire. It is estimated that the fire
caused $1 million damage.
Plan To Keep
LSA Seminar
Despite a small turnout at its
first student counseling seminar
last week, "there was enough re-
sponse to lead the literary college
steering committee to continue
the project," David Passman, '64,
said yesterday.
An expanded program of coun-
seling will be offered next semes-
ter shortly after \the tentative
time schedules are printed. Pass-
man attributed this year's low at-
tendance-less than a dozen stu-
dents showed up-largely to the
fact that many students had al-
ready registered before the coun-
seling was offered.
"Those who came were pleased,"
Passman commented.
The program was designed to
aid students in choosing courses.

"WHY A MAN BECOMES A MONK"
Brother David Steidlrast-born and studied in Vienna,
Austria, receiving a Doctorate in Psychology. Cur-
rently, as a Benedictine monk., Brother David is study-
ing and residing at Mount Saviour Monastery, Pine
City, New York.

VOLCANIC ERUPTION-The eruption of Kilauea volcano on
the island of Hawaii has sent orange-crimson lava shooting into
the air since earlier this week. "It's a real eruption," said Gordon
MacDonald of the University of Hawaii. "We don't know what
to expect."
