The planetarium is essentially a
theatre designed for documentary
presentation of astronomy. It is a
theatre in which the audience is
surrounded by a view of the sky
shown as a projection on a hem­ispherical
dome. The r e 1 a t i v e
movement of stars and planets,
the moon, sun and special objects,
such as comets, may be shown.
The complex optical equipment of
the planetarium will allow time to
be speeded up. Motion of the ce­lestial
bodies which might take
thousands of years may be pre­sented
in a r e 1 at i vel y small
amount of time.
A new campus political party­the
Progressive Party-has been
organized. In a meeting of a group
of interested students on March
30, Party First Secretary, Barry
Bruce, a junior in the College of
Arts and Sciences, announced the
party's plans for the spring Stu­dent
Senate election. He also re­leased
a statement of the party's
platform.
Speaking to the executive com­mittee
of the party, Bruce out­lined
the need for a campus politi­cal
party which will champion
the needs of all students and mili­tate
actively in the interests of the
whole student body. 'As students,
we all have the same common in­terests,"
he said. "It behooves us,
therefore, to unite all students in
an effective political body to im­plement
our needs." Bruce said
that the party hoped to attract all
students w i t h o u t reference to
Greek affiliation.
The executive committee ap­proved
the party platform. Bruce
said, "We feel that our platform ·
contains a broad program of Uni­versity
and student needs, a,nd
that if implemented, would make
for the common enrichment of
University life and education in
general." The group plans a party
rally soon.
The platform released follows:
1. Simplified Registration Proce­dure
2. A Lower Tuition by Reform­ing
the Activities Pass (I.D.
