Tombaugh's Discovery of Pluto Was Painstaking Task. Says Prof. Alter
The story of how Clyde Tombaugh, c'36, assisted in discovering Pluto, a planet larger than Mars, was told last night by Dr. Dinsmore Alter, professor of astronomy, in a radio talk over station KFKU.
The clue to the discovery of the planet was a small discrepancy in the positions of the two known planets farthest from the sun; Dr. Lowell of the Lowell Observatory first noticed this peculiarity about 20 years ago. Dr. Lowell calculated that some planet still farther from the sun was exerting a gravitational pull which caused the inaccuracy in his measurements; he estimated the orbit such a planet must follow and located two planes in the sky in which the planet might be visible to a camera eye on earth.
The patient task of making and examining the hundreds of photographs which would be necessary for the experiments was assigned to Clyde Tom-baugh, now a student at the University. Each minute section of the regions was photographed on separate nights. An instrument called the "comparator" was used to determine the appearance in the photographs of any object that
Public May View Planets
Tickets May Be Obtained by Application to Prof. Alter
On the second and fourth Wednesday of each month the Syzygy club will offer the public an opportunity to view celestial objects through the 6-inch refractor of the observatory.
Only about 25 persons can be admitted on one night, therefore it is necessary that admissions be applied for as far in advance as possible. In case the requests exceed 25 the order of preference will be, first, students of Astronomy 12, the beginning non-laboratory course; second, faculty members and other students; third, the general public.
Applications should be made to Dinsmore Alter, professor of astronomy, by letter or in person at the observatory. Phone reservations will not be accepted.
Active members of the Syzzyg club are D. P. Johnson, gr.; Prasklerick, vir.; Virginia Brenton, c'34; Sylvia Burd, gr.; James Edson, c'35; Clyde Tombaugh, c'34. Prof. C. V. Kent is an honorary member.
Three or four days before the applicant is to be admitted, he will receive a post card or ticket of admission which must be presented at the door. If the night is cloudy he will later receive a ticket for another evening. Any person receiving a card who is unable to attend must notify Mr. Alter in order that someone else may be admitted.
PRACTICAL TRAINING OBTAINED IN HASKELL NURSERY SCHOOL
The establishment of a nursery school as a laboratory makes practical the courses in child care and child development offered to the Indian girl students at Haskell Institute. Membership in the nursery school is limited to the children of Haskell faculty and employees of the institute. Three of the 12 pre-school children enrolled are Indian children.
might be the unidentified planet. Tom-haugh carefully examined thousands of star images on each of the hundreds of plates.
While the school was established primarily so that Indian girls could observe the normal child under controlled conditions and have some actual experience in the supervised care of children, especial care is taken to give the children all the advantages obtainable from group association under expert supervision.
The Haskell play school was instituted last spring and conducted for a six weeks' experimental period from 2 to 4 p.m. each day. This year the period was changed to the morning.
Finally, in January, 1830, the work was rewarded by success, and Tombaugh noticed a small, object moving across his photographic plates; but the image was even fainter than had been expected. To check the accuracy of the plates further, the Lowell Observatory took more photographs to be sure that what showed on their pictures was not an asteroid, a tiny planet very close to the sun.
For the first time in nearly a century, a major member of the sun's planet family was discovered. The planet was named Pluto.
Smaller than the earth, probably, and yet larger than Mars, the planet Pluto is more than thirty-nine times as far from the sun as we are. Consequently Pluto has an average surface temperature of several hundred degrees Fahrenheit below; but this fact has not kept extravagant writers of fiction from describing a frantic dying race of men on Pluto, tunnelling toward the center of their planet as the sun withdrew from them.
FORMER DECATHLON WINNER
COACHES AT WARNENSBURG
Charles Childress, winner of the decathlon at the Kansas relays last year and former Mule athletic star, will be track coach at the Central Missouri State Teachers' college this spring. T. C. Reid, director of athletics, announced today.
Childress who is completing his studies at Warrenburg, has been Reid's assistant the past year. Elmer Schaake, former University of Kansas athlete, also is enrolled in school there, will direct the Mules' spring football practice Reid said.
Sauer Given Service Medal
Lincoln Chamber of Commerce Presents Award to Nebraska Athlete
Lincoln, Feb. 2b. 23 — George Henry Sauer, Nebraska's all-American fullback, was presented the distinguished service metal of the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce junior division, at a luncheon here Tuesday in his honor. The presentation address was made by Mr. Sauer, whom the medal was awarded in 1932.
The medal is presented annually by he junior division to the Lincoln young man who, in the opinion of the nominating committee, has contributed the most outstanding service to his community.
In his presentation address, Van Pelt said:
"You were selected by the committee more because of your contribution to the boy and girl life of the city, than your sports prowess. You have been admired by the youth of Lincoln, as well as the adult. You have been their ideal, and you have not failed in living up to the heights at which they have bled you."

Vorkers Change Steps and Sidewalks in Front of Library
Many changes may be noted as the work in front of Watson library progresses. The temporary steps leading to the entrance of Watson library have been moved from the west side to the east side. Additional steps have been taken to allow the entrance in order to remove the dirt from under the old wooden platform.
Nearly enough dirt has been taken from the hump west of the steps, although there is still much filling yet to be done in front of the library and west of Fraser. When the grading has been finished there will be a gentle slope running up from the street to the library and down from Fraser. All of the walks which now lead to hay have still walked put in. The ditch directly in front of the library will remain but the walk will be removed.
Boxing Meet Ends In Tie
After the grading has been completed the ground will be sodded.
Manhattan, Feb. 23—Kansas State and St. Benedict's tied in the first intercollegiate boxing meet held here in recent years. Four matches went to each school. In the exhibition wrestling match preceding the boxing matches Ivan Conwell, Kansas State, pinned Tommy Doyle, St. Benedict's, in 3 minutes and 58 seconds.
