Although its small exterior is deceptive, the interior contains instruments which let you Reach for the Stars The McNeese observatory, a source of interest in the last few years, was trans- ferred to the southeast corner of the Bur- ton Coliseum near J. C. Barman Drive. Be- fore the Spring move, the observatory was located on the McNeese farm. The new location should provide better view- ing of astronomical sites since the obser- vatory will be further away from the city’s lights. Dr. David Frantz, professor of physics, is overseer of the observatory. He be- lieves that people of all ages can enjoy astronomy. ‘‘All you need,”’ he says, “‘is a little Knowledge and an open mind and then build on that.’ The McNeese observatory has access to a5.5 inch portable telescope and a 12 inch reflecting telescope. Dr. Frantz is in the process of adding a 6-inch refracting telescope currently being built to be mounted on the base of the observatory.

Future plans include further expansion of the facilities when a planetarium, which is a domed building with special ceiling effects combined with light, giving an illu- sion of a night-time sky. The observatory is a facility that should be looked upon as a special privilege, one not readily available to many universities. Moving crews prepare to load the observatory and move it from the McNeese Farm to property near the Burton Coliseum. (Photo by T. Maricle) Observatory aL,
