Solar Radio Activity in August 1972
Author: John P. Castelli
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Radio waves
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
A wide variety of both conventional and infrequently observed phenomena took place during the disk passage of McMath Plage No. 11976. A summary of the more important solar radio activity is presented. The largest of the bursts on 2,4, and 7 August had proton association which is correlated quantitatively with burst integrated flux density. One of the events was visible in white light and also had an associated ground level event. The spectra of the largest bursts are considered. As early as 31 July 1972, many unusual bursts at wavelengths shorter than 3 cm were observed as point brightenings with excellent x-ray association. Though discussions are at times presented, the emphasis of this report is on presentation of data. (Modified author abstract).

Haunted Halls
Author: Elizabeth Tucker
Publisher: Univ. Press of Mississippi
ISBN: 1604733179
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Why do so many American college students tell stories about encounters with ghosts? In Haunted Halls, the first book-length interpretive study of college ghostlore, Elizabeth Tucker takes the reader back to school to get acquainted with a wide range of college spirits. Some of the best-known ghosts that she discusses are Emory University's Dooley, who can disband classes by shooting professors with his water pistol; Mansfield University's Sara, who threw herself down a flight of stairs after being rejected by her boyfriend; and Huntingdon College's Red Lady, who slit her wrists while dressed in a red robe. Gettysburg College students have collided with ghosts of soldiers, while students at St. Mary-of-the-Woods College have reported frightening glimpses of the Faceless Nun. Tucker presents campus ghostlore from the mid-1960s to 2006, with special attention to stories told by twenty-first-century students through e-mail and instant messages. Her approach combines social, psychological, and cultural analysis, with close attention to students' own explanations of the significance of spectral phenomena. As metaphors of disorder, insanity, and school spirit, college ghosts convey multiple meanings. Their colorful stories warn students about the dangers of overindulgence, as well as the pitfalls of potentially horrifying relationships. Besides offering insight into students' initiation into campus life, college ghost stories make important statements about injustices suffered by Native Americans, African Americans, and others.
