...earth. If the waves are longer, the cloud is moving away. So the 21-cm. waves provide a handy tool for measuring the speed of the hydrogen clouds that form an important part of the Milky Way galaxy. Some of the clouds are moving close to the galactic nucleus, which looks in optical telescopes like a close-packed, featureless mass of glowing stars. But the 21-cm. waves reach deep into this stellar fog. They report that vast streams of hydrogen are flowing out of the nucleus, and none are streaming back. Where does the hydrogen come from? One theory...
...reason for the generally bright outlook is another strong nucleus of veterans and the meet promising group of sophomores in years. To produce a cohesive team from these elements ingenious coach McCurdy will have to shift his areas of strength and develop some competent relay teams, but if injuries to key men do not interfere, he may well do the trick...
Brooks feels that the varsity is a balanced squad, but not equal to the strength of last year's undefeated team. The coach pointed out, however, that he has considerable talent to rebuild the squad, which lost its nucleus in June...
Chewing on Stubs. In this chaos Bohr found his own future. In 1912, he went to Rutherford's laboratory at Manchester, England, just after Rutherford had advanced the theory that atoms are miniature solar systems with electrons revolving like planets around a sunlike nucleus. The idea had serious faults, which Bohr, then 27, spotted promptly; he corrected them by applying the unfamiliar principles of Planck's new quantum theory...
...have bowling alleys, modern lounges and other refinements that grace unions at other campuses, but these are not essential. An attractive snack bar and coffee room, some rooms for study, a few common rooms--perhaps with television, a browsing shelf, and a games area--would be a good nucleus. A book exchange, helpful to many, could also operate in the union...
