'lecturer·Physicist Give$Second Set Of Technical Talks

Professor Herbert S . G r e e n , Head, Department of Mathematical PhYSics and lecturer at AWitralia's University of Adelaide, has return­ed to the Station for the second successive winter. This year's series of 16 lectures is again sponsored by the Research Department.

Dr. Green, a distinguished scien­tist of the British Commonwealth, will cover eight topics of theoreti ­cal nuclear science during his two­month contract period. The first two series of two lectures each have already been given by the mathematical physicist. The r e­maining 12 discussions will be held at the rate of two per week through February 19. All lectures will be held each Wednesday and Friday mornings from 10-11:30 a.m. in Conference Room A, Michelson Laboratory.

Prof. Green's visit last year fol· lowed a year's stay at the Institute for Advanced Studies in Dublin, Ireland, where he temporarily held the chair of Professor Erwin Schrodinger, whose "Schrodinger Equation" Is one of the corner­stones of modern phYSics.

This is the Professor's third visit to the United States. His initial in­

criti cs and audiences everywhere will be evaluated by the command .. have been almost unanimous in ers of the nation's largest Air Force their appreciation of his unusual voice. Albert Goldberg, writing for the Los Angeles "Times" following the singer's recent recital at that city's Philharmonic Auditorium, claims " . . . Mr. Tucker was so lavish of his great gifts that there was just about twice as much singing as one would normally hear from him in any operat ic role ... There was much more to his sing­ing, however, than glorious tone; it was a def initive example of the belcanto style of effort less pro­duction, suave phrasing and unerr­ing control," continues Goldberg.

Tucker's Philharmonic concert consisted of approximately the same numbers that will be pre­sented to the loca l audience to­night.

Ticket Inlonnation Still available are season tickets,

good for the remaining four con­certs; however, the sale of these ti cket3 will close at curtain time tonight. Prices are: $10, $8.50, and $7, with a special $4.50 ticket re­served for students and service­men. Season tickets ma y be ob­tained from Dr. Ivar Highberg, LCdr. Harry Sellars and Walter Pingree.

Single admission tickets will be available at the box office, begin­ning at 6:30 p.m. Prices for these tickets are $5.50, $4.75, $4 and $2.25.

Thank You! About 50 families in the Ridge­

crest-Inyokern area. as well as on the Station, received Christmas bas­kets through the annua l project conducted by the Chaplain's office.

According to Chaplain Robe rt "Q" Jones, the office and the E ast Wing of the Chapel were flooded with foodstuffs, toys and incidentals contributed by organizations. Over $330 was a lso contributed, which not only bought turkeys, hams and oth­er items, but which permitted out­right gifts for las t-minute emer­gencies.

A special "thank-you" is being extended to all those who partici­pa ted in the 1959 Christmas basket project .
