| Transcript | One of the reasons I'm in SPS is because there are so few physics majors, we have to stick together. -Ronald Parker The main goal of SPS is to get people, mainly the undergraduates, who are in physics to stay in physics. -Jose Paredes of 5&I t^ urious about our neighbors on other planets, students wait in line to use the telescope located in the observatory of the S&R I.

When asked if he gineering graduate student was operated the scope, Rabeau said, largely responsible for the re-opening of the observatory. "When I came here, I found the observatory all trashed out," Rabeau said. Judy Hajovsky, the physics department administrator at the time, had the observatory repainted. "It needed cleaning. The scope itself needed repairing." Rabeau said. Rabeau asked a friend, Eric Rothgev with Texas National Repair, to inspect the telescope. Rothgev, at no charge to the university, cleaned and re-conditioned the telescope and realigned the optics. "It took about three hours, a job (for which) I'd have normally charged about $300," Rothgev said. * Not many students know about the observatory. It's kind of sad that it's just sitting there. * "Operating is a grandiose term. I make sure it's pointed right." Rabeau said that "getting help with the observatory has entailed whining and begging." The Society of Physics Students (SPS), recently reactivated, have volunteered their services and will take over the general maintenance of the observatory. Not many students were aware of the observatory. "It's kind of sad that it's just sitting there," said Jose Paredes, SPS president. "It's been here (the observatory) since I remember and I've been here since '85." -Courtesy The Daily Cougar Beta Beta Beta allows biology students to come together to learn more about the different careers in biology. -Mamta Kalidas 200 Organization* BETA BETA BETA Christine Huynh, Mamta Kalida, Mylan Lam, Martha Aguilar, Hien Nguyen, Hanh Nguyen.
