Monday launch for space observatory
Invisible X-ray universe will be seen
THE BATTALION
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1978

United Press International
WASHINGTON — The space
agency plans to launch an orbiting
observatory Monday to give as
tronomers their best view yet of
puzzling celestial objects — such as
white dwarfs, neutron stars and
maybe even black holes — which
emit X-rays.
The invisible universe, as viewed
by X-ray detectors, is a bizarre and
violent place and program scientist
Albert G. Opp said the spacecraft
will use an automated X-ray tele
scope to enable astronomers to “see
exactly where the action is taking
place.”
“You’ll be able to see in X-rays
the motions of gases and the pres
ence of the matter that’s creating
the X-rays,” Opp said in an inter
view Wednesday. “Since you can’t
see these in visible light, you can
only speculate as to what’s creating
the X-rays.”
The $87 million satellite, called
HEAO 2 because it is the second of
three High Energy Astronomical
Observatories, will radio back data
scientists will reconstruct into pic
tures showing the size, structure
and detail of objects in the far
reaches of the universe.
HEAO 2 is to be launched from
Cape Canaveral, Fla., into an orbit
ranging from 280 to 335 miles high.
That vantage point will place the
satellite well above the Earth’s at
mosphere which keeps X-rays from
reaching ground observatories.
The first HEAO was launched 15
months ago on a sky-mapping mis-
Germans have learned
their lesson, official says
United Press International
COLOGNE, West Germany —
Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, speak
ing on the 40th anniversary of the
first Nazi pogrom, said Thursday he
believes the Germans have learned
the lesson of their history and asked
the Jews for forgiveness.
“It is not for us to call on the Jews
of the world for forgiveness,”
Schmidt told an assembly in Col
ogne’s Great Synagogue. “But we
may ask for forgiveness. ”
Schmidt spoke at a memorial
service on the 40th anniversary of
the Crystal Night pogrom — the
first pogrom against Germany’s Jews
by Adolf Hitler’s Nazi regime in
1938. It became known as Crystal
Night because of the piles of broken
glass littering Germany’s main busi
ness streets after Nazi thugs
smashed the windows of about 7,500
Jewish-owned shops.
During Crystal Night, the Nazis
killed 91 Jews, arrested another
30,000 Jews, most of whom were
sent to concentration camps, and
destroyed 267 synagogues.
That pogrom was the first step
toward execution of the Nazi plan to
eliminate European Jewry. Before
Living with the law
I’ve moved here from out of state, and I pay the higher non-resident
tuition. I’m not in the military now, don’t want to join the Texas
Guard, don’t hold a competitive scholarship, and I don’t want to get
married to a Texas resident or stay out of school for a year to gain
residency. If I work in my department for 20 hours a week they tell
me I can pay resident tuition. Can I do that a year, quit, and then be
a resident?
The provision in the law that you can pay resident tuition if you work
half-time in a position relating to your degree program is an exception
to the residency requirements; it doesn’t make you a Texas resident.
Once you quit your departmental job, the exception ends and there
fore your lower tuition ends.

the allies defeated Germany in
1945, the Nazis killed about 6 mil
lion Jews.
“The truth is that many Germans
knew of the crimes and disapproved
them, but that many others knew
nothing or almost nothing about
them,” Schmidt said. “The truth is
that nevertheless ail of this took
place before the eyes of a large
number of German fellow citizens
and that another large number had
direct knowledge of these events.
“The truth is that a majority of the
people remained timidly silent, and
that the churches also remained
timidly silent although synagogue
and church serve the same God and
are rooted in the spirit of the same
testament.”
Schmidt said the Nazis were able
to seize power and carry out their
criminal scheme with the acquies
cence of most Germans because
preceding generations had failed to
prepare the ground for a democratic
system guaranteeing the freedom
and dignity of the individual.
The Nazi crime began with vio
lence against books, the shouting
down of anyone with another opin
ion, contempt for fellow men and
the rejection of the democratic sys
tem, Schmidt said.
“Murder was the logical conse
quence,” the chancellor declared.
Spanish booty
returned to
discoverer
United Press International
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.- State ar
chives officials Thursday were ready
to comply with a court order to re
turn $2.3 million in Spanish trea
sure to the company that found it.
Archives officials finished sealing
hundreds of silver coins and artifacts
Wednesday to meet the order is
sued 10 days ago by the Fifth U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in New Or
leans, said Robert J. Vossler, an at
torney representing the secretary of
state s office.
The treasure was hauled from the
wreck of the Spanish galleon
Nuestra de Senora Atocha by Trea
sure Salvors, Inc., a Key West-
based firm that discovered the
shipwreck 45 miles off the Mar
quesas Keys after years of searching.
The Nuestra de Senora Atocha
went down 356 years ago, in 1622.
The state laid claim to 25 percent
of the treasure because of a contract
signed by the treasure company’s
president, Mel Fisher.
But Fisher has testified in court
that he signed the contract because
the state threatened to arrest him if
he didn’t.

sion. It has spotted an estimated
1,500 celestial sources of X-rays —
five times the number previously
known.
HEAO 2’s job is to zero in on par
ticularly interesting X-ray sources.
Among its targets will be compact
celestial objects ranging from stars
known as white dwarfs to theoretical
black holes.
A white dwarf is what is left over
when a star the size of our sun runs
out of nuclear fuel and collapses cat
astrophically into an object no big
ger than Earth. They are so dense
that a spoonful of matter would
weigh a ton.
Medium-sized stars crash down to
neutron-star density — a billion
tons per cubic inch.
Heavyweight stars are believed to
shrink even more, to material so
densely packed that the resulting
immense gravity prevents even
light waves from escaping. These
are what scientists call black holes.
