Describes the Science Olympiad conducted yearly by St. Andrews Presbyterian College as a method of recruiting science oriented students. (SL)

Examination of the snowfall and total precipitation data for Rochester, New York, suggests a correlation with sunspot activity. Data from other locations tend to support the thesis, but the ability to predict yearly snowfall or total precipitation amounts from sunspot activity has yet to be developed. (Author/CP)
