Officio, is already beginning extensive plans for "Parents' Weekend" to be held the first weekend in April, (around the 3rd) Karen stresses the importance of Parents Weekend, shown by §gg||gpl| ASTRONOMICAL FEATURE FOR FEBRUARY '76 The elusive planet Mercury may be glimpsed at mid-month, when it makes a brief appearance above the eastern horizon, at dawn. Party With You are cordially invited to a party-- a "star party" to be thrown on Wednesday night, Feb. 4! "You" means the general public as well as students of all ages. Price of admission: an interest in the heavens (plural, lower case) around us. The party will be a progressive one. It will start with a "here's what to look for" talk by faculty member Sheridan Simon at 8:30 (p.m.) in the Leak Room of Duke Memorial Hall, and it will progress to the soccer field, where several telescopes will be set up. No need to "bring your own." Refreshments will be served steaming hot coffee for what probably will be a cold, cold night. Before you leave home to join the party, observe the skies. If you can't see the stars with your naked eye, the party's off. The telescopes are not that powerful, not even the new eight-inch Celestron acquired through the genero sity of Western Electric and the National Science Founda tion. Rain (or fog or cloud) date is the next night, same time, same places. The star party, dreamed up and organized by the Society of Physics Students headed by the phenomenal success of the event on the UNC-G campus, the idea after which Guilford's has been modelled. It's a valuable experience for pa rents to get on campus and explore the community and atmosphere in which the students are learning and growing. It is likewise, interesting for the parents and faculty to meet and learn more about each other. From the pre-alumni council and others, we feel it's high time that we junior Howard Page, was set for Feb. 4 because, among other reasons, many celestial inhabitants will be visible (assuming clear weather). Dr. Rex Adelberger, phy sics department chairman, said party guests should be able to view and photograph Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and the Pleiades. Also, the moon will be in a good phase for viewing, and the nebula in Orion should be easily visible. The host for the star party, first of a series, will be there in spirit, only. He is Marsh W. White, emeritus professor of physics at Penn State and a past president of the Ameri can Association of Physics Teachers. To honor White for his 40 years of service to Sigma Pi Sigma, the physics honor society, the American Insti tute of Physics makes annual cash awards in his name to colleges and universities. Guilford was one of nine institutions receiving awards this year to support student orientated projects to promote interest in physics among students and the general public. So, if the evening of Wednesday, Feb. 4, is clear, dress wisely and join the Guilford College "star party". show the parents that they mean more to us and Guilford College than a signiture on the semester's tuition check. If you are interested in helping with the preparation for this big week-end celebration please contact Karen Rheeling, Peter Riess or Robyn Brunkhardt for more information. We'll keep you posted on the details.. Meanwhile, why not start preparing 'your parents for a visit? W omansprouts Kathleen Fraser, Anne Sexton. Denise Levertov, Ann Deagon, Gertrude Stein, Nikki Giovanni, Julia Blizin...all of these women are poets. Some are famous, some unsung, some rising to as yet unknown heights.
