"Up on the Roof," sang out Dr. David Fisher. As twenty some physics majors climbed up on the roof of the Academic Center for a first-hand look at the College's new radio telescope. 

The telescope is the result of a yearlong project spearheaded by Dr. David Wolfe to procure and install a telescope that receives the radiowave emissions from stars.

The beauty of a radio telescope, explained Dr. Richard Erickson, is that it can be used night or day and in any kind of weather.

Students were very much involved in the installation of the dish which has been nicknamed by Dr. Wolfe as LARS, an acronym for Lycoming Astrophysical Research Station.
