SUMMARY:Magnetic Fields and the Early Stages of Star Formation\, Astro
 nomy Colloquium\, Dick Crutcher\, University of IL
DESCRIPTION:The role and importance of magnetic fields in star formati
 on has been uncertain ever since their initial detection in the inters
 tellar medium almost 70 years ago. I will discuss techniques for measu
 ring interstellar magnetic fields in molecular clouds\, briefly descri
 be some of the principal theories for the formation and evolution of m
 olecular clouds\, and discuss the current status and future possibilit
 ies of observational testing of the theoretical predictions of star fo
 rmation theories.
