Planetarium Performance
CONTRIBUTION
The Morehead Planetarium's
fall double feature Technicolor
Sky and What Do You Think
Pythagoras, is a rich combin
ation of the beauties and the
mathematics of the universe.
Auroras, fireballs, and eclipses
which appear in program "A"
are some of the visual elements
juxtaposed to the magic
numbers, musical intervals, and
rythmic x-ray bursts from
unknown stars that support the
theme of program "B".
Technicolor Sky invites us
to look more closely at the sky
and it awakens our sensibilities
to a variety of spectacular
events from familiar phenom
ena like sunsets, comets and
shooting stars, to more infre
quent sights like sundogs,
zodiacal light and the gegen
schein or counterglow.
"Really, most people think
of the skies in black and white
Trumbo's book of the same
name, the movie is a shocking
statement against war and
man's inhumanity to other men.
The Guilfordian
Young Democrats on Campus
BY
FRAN HENDERSON
Have college students lost
their vim and verve? Can
college students still have size
able political clout in an election
year? The Guilford College
Young Democrats Club is
working to expel the myth that
political apathy is rampant on
college campuses. Boasting
an enthusiastic membership of
over twenty-five and growing,
the club has already sponsored
a successful voter registration
drive.
The club, led by President
John Richardson, has exciting
terms, which is only natural,"
said Jim Manning, Senior
Planetarium Intern and produc
tion supervisor of the show.
"But as we look deeper into
space, our telescope photog
raphy reveals intense color we
just can't see with the naked
eye. One might also be
surprised to learn that rainbows
are round and that thunder
storms might be caused by
sunspots."
In contrast to the visual rich
ness of Technicolor Sky is the
effect of stark mathematical
reality in What Do You Think,
Pythagoras?
As it explores the quest for
order central to the develop
ment of western civilization,
"Pythagoras" relates the clarity,
precision, and fascination for
opposites, like hot and cold,
light and dark, that characterize
the world vision of early Greek
philosophers.
The show is haunted by the
fleeting image of Pythagoras,
the forerunner of giants like
Plato, Copernicus, and Kepler.
Father of a mathematical view
of the universe, Pythagoras
epitomized the Greek virtues
of order and tranquility. His
discovery of the mathematital
foundations of music opened

plans for this year. The group
will be actively campaigning
for Democratic candidates on
the national, state, and local
levels in the November elect
ions. Members of the club
will work as volunteers at the
downtown Democratic Head
quarters. There are tentative
plans to bring politicians to
the Guilford campus for
speeches and seminars.
After the fervor of the
November elections dies down,
the Young Democrats will
continue to work for increased
political awareness on campus.
President Richardson hopes to
assemble a political internship
a world of exploration into
what the Greeks considered
their highest art form.
What Do You Think
Pythagoras illustrates the
Greeks' mental construction of
the idea that the planets, stars,
and other heavenly bodies
move in perfect harmonic
relationships, and this "music
of the spheres," although
never heard was a solid but
incorrect belief which lasted
for 2,000 years. And yet,
Pythagoras' belief in a fire at
the center of the universe is
something only recently dis
covered to be basically correct.
The double feature can be
seen without reservation for
single admission rates Mondays
through Fridays at 8:00 p.m.;
Saturdays at 11:00 a.m., 1:00,
3:00 and 8:00 p.m. (11:00 a.m.,
5:00 and 8:00 p.m. on Home
Football Saturdays); and
Sundays at 2:00, 3:00 and 8:00
p.m.
Admission rates are SI.OO
for children through age 11,
$1.25 for students through
college and senior citizens,
and $1.50 for other adults.
Free scientific and art
exhibits may be seen before
and after each Planetarium
performance.
