he is S. r. Young, Special AS
sistant to the Postmaster
General.
Astronomy is a recent hobby
with him. In the last six or
eight months he has become
a rabid ogler of the celestial
spaces. He says he is "condi-
tioning" himself for the time
when he retires and can give
full vent to his passion for
planetary study.
WOE is the man who re-
tires and doesn't know what
to do with his leisure time"
he says. Il consider this
study a good way to keep my
self active and my mind
alert"
Although he is only a be-
ginner and strictly self taught
SO far. Mr.. Young can toss
around the jargon of astron-
omy with the abandon of an
old campaigner who has dis
covered a planet or two, or
maybe even a comet. He is
able to do this because of his
data card system. He is con-
tinually jotting down astro-
nomical names and phrases
and explanatory data on cards
which he keeps handy for
study. Included in his card
system are such esoteric items
as "collimate," hour circle"
procession of the equinox"
"island universe" "anagalac-
tic" and "calure." Even the

explanation would befuddle
the uninitiated, so let's skip
it,
He also keeps an informa-
ton folder on known heaven
ly bodies, and astronomic
hieroglyphics.
Not long ago he joined the
National Capital Astrono-
mers' Society, but, he says. its
meetings and lectures are a
little too technical for him.
If I get anything out of it
at all it is enthusiasm" he
says.
So much enthusiasm, in
fact, that he has become an
active missionary for the sci
ence of astronomy. He some
times takes his equipment
about to schools or to a home
for the aged, and gives chill
dren and oldsters the thrill of
their first real look at the
heavens, meanwhile deliver
ing what he describes as the
most elementary of lectures"
He explains, for instance,
that the star Rigel is 10000
times brighter than the sun
and is 546 light years away,
and that the North Star is
2,5OO times brighter than the
sun and is 470 light years
away. Such facts, he says,
stir their imagination, and
he can see the reaction in
their faces.
II believe it gives one a
feeling of humility to think
about such vastness of space
and time. It makes one real
ize how insignificant he is in
the cosmic scheme and how
unimportant his troubles
really are. I know that l

'Sitdown' Threatened
Al New York COLLEGE,
Over Discrimination
BY the Associofsd Press

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The threat
of "sitdown and stay down DEM
onstration hung over City College
of New York today as the aftermath
OF student protests against alleged
anti-Semitic and anti-Negro atti-
tudes of two teachers.
Yesterday a meeting of 1000 STU
dents, sponsored by the Student
Council, passed two resolutions
which demanded that positive ac-
ton be taken by next Thursday to
permit students to transfer from
classes of the accused professors.
The resolutions also asked that
students who earlier this year
staged walkout from the classes
of the two teachers-Prof. William
E. Knickerbocker and Instructor
William c. Davis-not be subject
to disciplinary action.
The students also petitioned
State Commissioner of Education
Francis. T. Spaulding for "immedi-
ate dismissal" of Prof. Knickerbock-
er and Mr.. Davis.
Prof. Knickerbocker, head of the
Romance Language Department,
was cleared of anti Semitism
charges oy faculty committee and
the Board of Higher Education
which operates municipal colleges.
A City Council investigating COM
mittee. however, called for his
custer last summer.
