          CLUB NEWS

As discussed at last month s meeting, the APL Astronomy
club will hold a Star Party on Wednesday, July 19 with
a rain date of July 20.  Setup will be on the APL front
lawn (near the flag poles) at 8:30 with observing start-
ing by 9:00. Jupiter will be the prime target with
the goal of detecting any remnants of the Comet Shoe-
maker-Levy impacts which occurred one year ago.  Some
