Scientific paper

My colleagues in the other physical and biological sciences often comment on how ``easy'' it is to draw students into our introductory astronomy courses. There seems to be a universal, so to speak, appeal for the subject. We astronomers have it made, right? Well, not in the introductory laboratories. We face a real dilemma as to how to provide our students with an ``experimental'' experience, equivalent to that in the other sciences, where they obtain their own data, analyze it, and learn something about the natural phenomenon they are studying. The complications are significant.
