Committee approves petitions to save tree
By SHARON ROSSE Staff Reporter
Picture a building the size of Watson Library in the area between the Military Science Building and Hoch Auditorium. There would be no trees or grass, only concrete and bricks.
That was the picture Mark "Gilligan" Sump. College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, described last night before the Student Senate University Affairs Committee unanimously approved two petitions opposing construction of a science library in the area.
The petitions, sponsored by Sump and three other student senators, are aimed at saving a large American Elm tree and the grassy area behind
the military Science Building and Hoch Auditorium.
The petitions will be considered for final approval by the Student Senate tonight.
Sump told the committee that about 3,000 students already had signed the main petition to oppose building the library in the area. He said he'd get to at least 1,000 more signatures today from students on campus.
William Easley, University Affairs Committee chairman, said, "If the Senate approves it, letters will be sent to the administration, the library building committee, and possibly the chancellor."
But Jim Ranz, chairman of the New Science Building Committee, said no action had been taken by his committee as of yet.

Inside a room in the basement of Malott Hall, Thomas P. Armstrong and his band of students work to prepare the Gallilee space probe for its encounter with Jupiter in 1988.
Prof's work to go to Jupiter in 1988
Armstrong, professor of physics and astronomy, and his students are designing computer programs to help handle the flood of information the space probe will beam back to Earth. They also have designed a physics experiment in the orbiter.
Project Galileo is "even better, much more powerful, much more comprehensive, much more complete and much more detailed" (Bishop, 1974). He encountered Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1981, Armstrong said.
"Galileo is an engineering masterpiece, a marvel," he said.
Galileo will uncover a scientific gold mine, he said. It is capable of gathering more data with more experimental experiments than Voyager.
GALILEO WILL CONSIST of an
Since Jupiter and its 16 known satellites are like a small solar system, scientists hope they can use data from the space probes to explain the origin of the solar system.
Once in place, the detector's magnets will separate gasses into positive and negative gases, a step that can help to identify physical properties of the plasma.
THE TEMPERATURE OF Jupiter's plasma is about 4 million degrees — the hottest plasma ever. The plasma is diluted, so it does not glow and it will not burn spacecraft passing through it.
In addition, five field and particle instruments will explore the magnetic and particle fields around Jupiter and its satellites Armstrong $ ^{2} $d he was most interested in these experiments and had helped design one, an energetic particle detector, to study the plasma and energetic particles around Jupiter.

Armstrong said the detector might help answer questions about the plasma.
The plasma is thought to come from volcanoes on Io, a satellite of

graduate school at the University of Iowa. In 1964 he became involved with the Mariner IV mission to Mars.
THE NEXT STEP of his professional career began in 1970 when he helped to work on a new proposal to NASA to send intelligent spacecraft on a "grand tour" of the outer planets.
Armstrong's association with space probes began in 1962 while in
Armstrong also worked at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., during the flights of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2
