WASHINGTON-President Eisenhower and his Cabinet, terming
the controversial St. Lawrence seaway project "highly desirable,"
yesterday advocated limited U. S. participation in the big undertaking.
The idea of the seaway is to allow ocean going ships to proceed
from the Atlantic up the St. Lawrence to the Great Lakes.

Louis St. Laurent said was a "statement of intention," said Eisen-

Michigan State pounded out
nine hits to Michigan's seven yes-
terday, but the Wolverines added
their safeties to a rash of Spar-
tan errors and walks to gain an
easy 9-1 victory on the Ferry Field
diamond.
The two Big Ten rivals go at it
again today, this time in a twin-
bill at East Lansing.
MICHIGAN bunched all of its
runs into two big innings yester-
day as it broke a two-game confer-
ence losing streak.
Ace righthander Jack Corbett
went the route for the Wolver-
ines, scattering the State hits
effectively while issuing only
two free passes and striking out
four.
With one out in the home half of
the first inning, two consecutive
infield errors put Captain Bill
Mogk and centerfielder Frank
Howell on first and second.
DON EADDY brought MogkI
home with a sharp single to left,
and Paul Lepley kept things going
with a long double to center to
score two more runs.
Spartan starter Ernie Erickson
settled down momentarily to re-
tire Gil Sabuco on an infield
grounder, but Dan Cline followed
with a clean hit through the
box to drive Lepley across withj
the fourth run of the inning.

"WE HAVE' complete confidence
that, in the hands of the Univer-

Combined with the existing
cyclotron, synchrotron and 10
kilocurie source of cobalt 60 (the
most powerful in any private in-
stallation) the reactor or "pow-
er package" will provide atomic
research facilities unsurpassed
at any other educational insti-
tution, Dean Ralph A. Sawyer,
of the Rackham School of Grad-
uate Studies and director of the
Phoenix Project, maintained.
The University, under contract
with the Atomic Energy Commis-
sion, has agreed to provide the de-
tailed design of the research re-
actor with a plan for its opera-
tion and an analysis of the health
and safety hazards and security
considerations involved in it
operation.
Present plans call for the re-
actor to be housed on the new
267 acre North Campus in a
specially built structure three
stories high with concrete walls
five feet thick to shield workers
from the dangerous radiation
created in the equipment.
THE APPARATUS will be in-
stalled in a water-filled tank 30
feet high and 12 by 18 feet on
the sides.
Construction is scheduled to
get underway this year, Univer-
sity officials announced.
Ford said the grant, which is
based upon an estimate of the
cost of building such a reactor,
will cover construction of the ap-
paratus and building, and any
basic and essential equipment
which is an integral part of the
reactor.
According to University officials
the only other known reactor on
a college campus is nearing com-
pletion at Raleigh, North Caro-
lina, for the Consolidated Uni-
versity of North Carolina.

PROF. Henry Gomberg,. assist-
ant director of the Phoenix Pro-
ject said that the University's re-

than the one in Raleigh.

Show Gain
Of Phoenix
By PAT ROELOFS
Begun exacly five years ago this
month, the University's Memorial-
Phoenix Project is fast reaching
maturity-as a program of investi-
gation, discovery, education and
service in the constructive use of
atomic energy.
The project takes its name from
the Phoenix, the fabulous, sacred
bird of the Egyptians, which des-
troyed itself every five hundred
years and emerged from its own
ashes into a new life. It is the Uni-
versity's memorial to the 520 stu-
dents, alumni and faculty members
who lost their lives in World War
II.

HEADED BY Dean Ralph A
Sawyer of the graduate school,
Phoenix has now spent more than'
$500,000 on research, .fellowships
and educational meetings, and for
laboratory construction and equip-
ment.
Fourteerf projects have al-
ready been completed and 63
research projects are currently
under way.
The most dramatic demonstra-
tion of the Project's attempt to
balance research programs has
been the large allotment of funds
and study hours to the humanities
field.
Approximately $75,000 of the
$140,000 already spent in peace-
time atomic research has gone in-
to such programs as legal and
public administration aspects of
atomic energy.

of the education school said yesterday that many states do not even
require a charter for a college to officially operate.
"No other major country is as lax as the United States in permit-
ting shyster schools and diploma mills to sell certificates and degrees,"
he charged.
"TO CLOSE DOWN such unscrupulous institutions is largely
the responsibilty of the several states," and should not come under
federal jurisdiction, the Dean commented.

Dean Edmonson is chairman
