Dynamical masses have been determined for 10 globular clusters. Comparison of the dynamically determined M/L values with those calculated from extrapolations of the observed upper main sequence/giant branch luminosity functions for M3 and M5 indicate that low mass stars (∼0.2 M) comprise a large fraction of the total number.
