Beta Sigma Phi
Meeting News
The regular meeting of Beta
Sigma Phi was held last night
with excellent attendance.
On the program was Dorothy
Grant, who gave a very enlighten
ing talk on writing thru its vari
ous stages. It was brought out
how changing times affect auth
ors’ writing styles. Also stressed
was the fact that being an author
is no easy chore, as there are
many obstacles to overcome in
this field before one can become
recognized.
When Mrs. Grant had finished,
the group felt they had gained a
new insight, particularly about
historical writing.
Refreshments were served by
hostess June Jefferies, and plans
were completed for the progres
sive dinner to be held tomorrow
evening.
ASTRONOMY NOTES
By OLAF HALVERSON
If one were on the moon, the
stars would look brighter because
of the perpetually cloudless sky.
Even the fainter stars would be
visible in the daytime.
If our landing should be on the
opposite side of the moon and re
main there, the earth could never
be seen. Only by coming around
to the side toward our planet
would it become visible.
Even the earth would never
rise or set at any given place.
It would constantly remain at
about the same altitude above the
lunar horizon. Our globe would
seem to be about four times the
breadth of the moon.
The white polar caps of ice and
snow, its dark oceans, and vast
but hazy cloud areas would be
conspicuous when viewed from
the moon. Faint stars and filmy
solar corona would probably be
visible close to the sun.

October Precipitation
Near Record High
precipitation last month was
the greatest (3.36 in.) since 1935
and the second greatest on record.
Below normal temperatures in
the middle of the month brought
most mining operations in the
area to a stop.
The average temperature last
month was 31.8 degrees, 1.8 de
grees higher than normal. Highest
temperature of 48 was reached on
Oct. 4. The lowest, 10, was on
the 30th.
On only one day, the 30th, did
the sun shine all day—for 8 hours
and 8 minutes. But there was
some sunshine on 20 of the 31
days.
