At U.C.L.A., plans to cook popcorn on a solar-powered device were rained out, but 600 Sun Day sundaes-vanilla ice cream, orange slices, strawberries, raisins and nuts-were given away. Los Angeles' Museum of Science and Industry exhibited three sun-powered cars and beanies with solar-powered propellers.
