d4 AG I THE MICHIGAN DAILY FRIDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1951 LETHARGIA: Couples Say .ifeaon Raft Unromlantic VICKSBURG, Miss.-IP)--After 85 days of cramped living on a tiny raft, a couple pairs of young unmarried people, three of them University students, agree, "life on a raft is not conducive to ro- mance; we're more apt to resort to murder." The two men and two women said that a lot of eyebrows have been raised over their 1,800 mile trip from New Kensington, Pa. down the Allegheny, Ohio and Mississippi Rivers to New Or- leans. -* * * THEIR 20 BY 20 raft, mounted on 12 oil drums, is topped by a cabin 8 by 8 feet. A small in- board motor propels the raft, christened the "Lethargia." The two girls sleep in double- decked bunko on one side of the cabin and the two men sleep in double bunks about three feet on the other side. "We all sleep in our clothes," said Don Brown, 24 year old be- whiskered University psychology student, hurriedly explained. AT ONE END of the cabin is a two foot square space covered with a Tarpaulin, which serves as dressing room and toilet. The river provides the plumbing. When someone wants to take a bath, he goes to the dressing room, puts on his bathing suit and goes over the side with a bar of soap. Hot baths come in hotels when they dock at various cities. The "Lethargia" crew plans to leave here today and hopes to reach New Orleans via Natchez, Miss. and Baton Rouge, La. in a few weeks.

DAILY CLASSIFIEDS BRING QUICK RESULTS EYE TO THE MILKY WAY-T ens used at the University's Port areas of the sky, astronomers ar T * * At University's By HELENE SIMON Astronomers no longer need to stand endless hours scanning the sky for their observations when they can use such equipment as the camera and reflector tele- scope available at the University's Portage Lake Observatory. One of the advantages of this Schmidt type instrument is that it encompasses a larger area in its scope than most other tele- scopes. MOUNT PALOMAR Observa- tory, possessing the largest tele- scope in the world, also has a Schmidt type scope. Using prisms in the telescope to discover information about the stars is the most interest- ing work done at the observa- tory, according to Prof. Freeman D. Miller. The stars are recorded on the film as small rectangles with lines making a pattern through them. Although these lines look like only his far-seeing telescope is the mammoth photographer of the heav- tage Lake Observatory. Because of its ability to photograph large re able to stuly the relations of stars to each other. peg Telescope BsigAtraction Potg ak bsratr COMPOSITIONS FOR STRINGED INSTRIMENTS FINE NEW RECORDINGS a series of pretty rainbows to the ordinary onlooker, they are sig- nificant to the astronomer. By utilizing these patterns the train- ed eye can figure out the temper- ature of a star, its chemical com- position and the distance between stars and the earth. ANOTHER interesting piece of equipment at therobservatory is an electrical device built by Wil- Liam Legler, Grad., that measures the brightness of the stars. The light intensity is recorded on a meter instead of on film.
