Abstract: We report the discovery of 15 s oscillations in HST/STIS far-UV spectroscopic observations of WZ Sge in decline, one month after the start of its 2001 outburst. We discuss the implications of this finding for both the magnetic and pulsating white dwarf models that have been proposed to account for the 28 s oscillations.
