JAYHAWKER NEWS! August 1989 EPTUN RE Poland names new minister Poland again named a new prime minister. On Aug. 2, the Sejm, or lower house, had elect- ed Lt. Gen. Czeslaw Kiszczak to succeed out- going Prime Minister Mieczyslaw Rakowski, who had been voted down in June elections. However, Kiszcza had been unsuccssful in forming a government. An alternative candidate was found in Tadeusz Mazowiecki, editor of Tygodrik Wyborczy lElection Weeklyl, a leading Solidarity newspaper. Mazowiecki had the backing of Solidarity leader Lech Walesa and other government officials, and he was voted in rather easily. EALED Voyager 2 shows off rings, pink moon, ice volcano ln its grand finale, Voyager 2 showed features of Neptune never anticipated. As the realization of a 12- year dream, Neptune could not have been more pleasant. NASA officials began receiving signals from the ninth planet in early August. Speculation soon began about what appeared to be ring arcs. The closest flyby, only 23,900 miles away, occurred on August 25, and scientists confirmed that Neptune did indeed have rings, not simply arcs and notjust one ring, but many. Also confirmed was the existence of what was quickly dubbed The Great Dark Spot, after Jupiter's Great FiedMSpot. The Spot was a storm of immense size and intensity. In addition to this spot, scientists found another one, this one slightly smaller than the other. Pictures and data showed rapidly moving clouds pushed along by 300 mph winds on the planet. Data also showed that Triton, Neptune's largest moon, had geological faults, nitrogen and methane ice and an ice volcano second in size only to Olympus Mons on Mars. Data from Triton provided a mystery as well: The frozen water crust appeared to have been frozen and refrozen several times. What made Triton warm several times was not known. Scientists 1 speculated that the warming was caused, in pan, by T the moon's reverse orbit. T Also not clear were apparent criss-crosses on the polar frost cap of Triton. These streaks appeared similar to some found on Mars, but those were attrib- uted to windblown dust. T Voyager also discovered Eve new moons, one A pink. As it passed the outermost of Neptune's moons, it was recording pictures and data on its 4.5 billionth mile. lt would soon follow its cousin, Voyager 1, into space outside the known solar system. 1 What began as a keep-fingers-crossed risk ended 12 years and billions of miles later in a rewarding 1 flurry of activity. l Rose banned from baseball for life Yearly appeal possible On Aug. 23, baseball player Pete Rose was banned from the game for life. He had been accused of gambling, in particular betting on baseball and, sur- prisingly, on his own team. A six-month investigation and suits filed in state and federal district courts culminated in a settlement signed by Flose and Baseball Commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti under which Rose would drop his suit against baseball and he would be eligible for appeal of the ban every year.
