THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRI W SOUTH AFRICAN SIEVATORY TO RE IISHED THIS FA!L ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS OF LAMONT EXPEDITION 1 TO BE RECORDED TO REMAIN EIGHT YEARS Staff Consisting of Rossiter, Jessiip, %id Donner to do Researchi Work On Doule Stars . According to an announcement by Professor Ralph H. Curtiss, director of the University observatory, the building of the University's southern obseivatory at Bloemfontein, South Africa, is fast nearing completion. The site selected for the building is on the northern section of the flat summit called Naval Hill, which is within the limits of Bloemfontein. The building,=i in, addition to the central section which supports the 56-foot dome and contains the 27-inch Lamont refracting telescope, consists of two wings. One contains offices, a dark room, and library; the other storage and garage space and rooms for a caretaker. The dome for the observ- atory was shipped from New York on August 21, and should now have reached the African coast from which point it will have a rail journey of several hundred miles into the inter- ior. The telescope is already in Africa to be erected when the dome is in place. .Two members have been added to the southern staff; Henry F. Donner and Morris K. Jessup, both of whom were. on the staff of the observatory here during last year. They sailed from New York on October 1 and will reach Bloemfontein after a journey of five weeks.# According to Prof. Curtiss the La- mont astronomical expedition of which this southern observatory will be the observing station is building and planning on a more solid basis than any previous astronomical expe- dition into the southern hemisphere. ) With the foundations so well made it is anticipated that a period of highly productive research in the skies, prin- cipally on double stars, will follow djiring the interval over which the expedition will carry on its work. The Expedition will remain in South Africa for at least eight years. 'The enterprise was planned by the late Professor Hussey with the finan- cial support of R. P. Lamont, '91, president - of the American Steel Foundries. Lamont, who was a fellow student of Prof. Hussey, was interest- ed .in the double star work which Prof. Hussey pursued in the northern hemisphere, and began 15 years ago. to furnish funds for the completion of! work in the southern hemisphere. Actual observation, which will prob- ably begin before the beginning of the new year, will be carried on by AssQ- ciate Professor R. A. Rossiter, who for a number of years was connected with the observatory in Ann Arbor, with the assistance of Jessup and Don- ner. The scientific material gathered by the expedition will be published in one or more of the observatory volumes as a memorial to Prof.< Hussey. * RAE Today and Friday Sally O'Neill CANINE KINGDOM RISES TO ITS OWN TO QUENCH THIRST AT CAMPUS FOUNT By C.4A. far as to place its forepaws on the Campus dool, having b)e en12 base and choke, once or twice, and. martyr to kicks, stones, and rough turn and look apologetically at the treatment about the ears and back as administered by members and sympa-- thizers of the S.PC.A. for a long Some people say dogs aren't human, time, is at last aserting rtself *s a but any of the doubters would have real factor on he Universi y camipu been in danger of being convinced had Thirsty from running a er te stray they seen the brazen representative of dogs which humans allow to run pro- miscuously about th" c"ps""campus("d"y=om successfully imitating from chasing tho niiy aplpealifg the many who stop for a drink of whistles which seem to emanae from water from the campus drinking foun- nowhere, the c, nines are now qench- tains. ing that dry feeling by using the_ drinking fOuntains which are iplacedl at convenient, t1 Ofe c uttainale ecembeS Of places on the campus. ~ There have been rumors of this nen w 'i ' or11itt1 L invasion of the rights of man floating about the University fr quite some Committee appointments for the time, but yesterday afterc n, tie first Senior Law class were announced yes- ral Iola ion ws < d i teortl- , res corin w otied, 0 y sv nith d- terday by Milton 1.
