Telescope To Travel: Workmen remove tube of the University's 24-inch Schmidt telescope at the Portage Lake Observatory near Dexter yesterday prior to shipping the instrument to Chile where a U.S. astronomy observatory is being built in the Andes Mountains. The U.S., a European group, and the Soviet Union are all building observatories in the Andes in a race to make the first detailed exploration of the southern hemisphere sky. The U-M telescope will be returned to Ann Arbor after five years of observations. The removal of the instrument is being supervised and paid for by the National Science Foundation.

Mr. and Mrs. William Dent of Whitmore Lake are already making plans to adjust their lives and trailer home, when their baby arrives in January. For Mrs. Dent this means less time to help her husband with his radio astronomy. The Dents now spend their weekends at Peach Mountain.
