Special Summerish Planetarium Programs when the planetarium is closed to the public

Summer, 2008

Summer Grade School Honors Student Research Oriented Class June 23 through July 18, 2008; three weeks in a planetarium 9AM-noon and one week in West Virginia camping with your parents learning about the universe.  Canceled only 2 students enrolled.  Next year I will attempt to do this again with the name "Universe Camp" hoping to not scare off parents who think their children are not honorable students.

Engineering & SCIENCE Adventure C LUB

this summer Tuesday, 2PM in the planetarium



If you are worthy enough, I have made exceptions during the summer and will work for personal satisfaction, AFSCME, SEIU, and hard working people in general.  If you think you may fall into this category give me a call and I will consider it.  Many things are more important than compensation for money, though money is important, too.  I do get compensated for classes, please sign up or we will not have one unless there is enough enrollment.   College classes in philosophy, PH201, and any summer camp run by biology faculty members are automatically considered worthy!   In fact, any college class run by a faculty member who know my first name, it Harold, and has ever been in the planetarium, would be considered worthy of me working for free a few hours this summer so their class can come into the planetarium.  If I were independently wealthy, I am not, I would still do the same job I am doing now, its that much fun, I just would not  need to be paid.   I do need to be paid for the regular 9 months so I can continue to make house payments and pay for other living expenses.
