Disciplinary Case
Releases Closed
OffbyJudiciary
. By HARRY LUNN
Daily Managing Editor
Joint Judiciary Council virtually closed its doors to the press
yesterday through formal ratification by the University Sub-Commit-
tee on Discipline of a policy which will withhold all publicity on in-
dividual and group violations except for an end-of-the-semester com-
pilation of cases without mention of names.
Although the thiee-man University discipline group unanimously
approved the recommendation, Judiciary Council Chairman Lee Fiber,
'54, refused to reveal the vote within the Council. However, reliable
sources indicated that as many as four of the nine council members
opposed the policy during the meeting Friday at which it passed.
YESTERDAY'S action reaffirmed the informal council policy of
last semester of withholding all names and confirmation of group
action.'
Formalization of the policy came after several months of ne-
gotiation between Daily editors and council members.
These discussions culminated in a three-point Daily policy pro-
posal to release all group names, violations and penalties as each case
is closed, release sinilarly individual case results about which there

An unclassified report on the
reactor's proposed safefuards
and design was approved by the
Board of Regents this fall and
the AEC was petitioned Nov. 27.
Prof. Gomberg said that since
then further ideas have been
submitted to the AEC's advisory
committee which will hear the
more detailed study involving se-
cret data to be presented by his
group. Feb. 23.
If approval is received, work will
start immediately on the necessary
design planning for construction
with the prospect that the reactor
may be in operation sometime in
~.1956.
" . .
CAPABLE of continuous opera-
tion at 1000 kilowatts, the reactor
is the largest installation of its
kind so far planned for any edu-
cational institution. Pennsylvania
State College has requested per-
mission to build a 100 kilowatt re-
actor and the University of North
Carolina has a 10 kilowatt device
r of different design in operation.
Prof. Gomberg said the re-
actor would be used for teach-
ing, research and as a service fa
cility for Midwestern industry. It
will also serve as a laborayor
device for teaching and explor-
ing the operation and behavior
of nuclear reactors in general.
An additional use would be the
production of radioactive isotopes
from the machine's intense neu-
tron radiation, according to Wid-
does.
He pointed out that having the
reactor on campus would aid Uni-
versity scientists in , using, and
studying isotopes such as fluorine
20 which have half-lives of only
several seconds or minutes. At
present only isotopes with half-
lives of more than 12 hours may be
used here because they have to "be
shipped from the government lab-
oratories at Oak Ridge, Tenn.
In a broader sense, however, the
reactor will aid investigations into
a variety of scientific fields rang-
ing from fundamental physics and
chemistry to engineering, medicine
and biology, Prof. Gomberg added.
* * * i
DESIGN of the million dollar;
reactor is essentially that of a
swimming pool. Twenty-six feet
of water will shield observers
from the deadly radiation given
off by the plates of uranium, u- k
235, at the bottom of the concrete
tank. The 50,000 gallons of water
will also serve to dissipate the in-
tense heat generated by the con-
version of mass into energy that,
occurs in the atomic disintigration
process.
Remote controlled cadmium or
boron rods interspersed in the
fuel elements will serve as the
safetly mechanism. The rods
are used as valves to hulrLi or
shut off entirely the stream of
slow neutrons from the uranium.

the council release a summary

They were opposed to disclosure
of individual case names.
Commenting favorably on the
council's decision, acting Dean of
Students Walter B. Rea said he
agreed to the idea of protecting
individuals and groups from pub-
licity.
"I have a feeling of reluctance
to attach names and provide an
added penalty," he observed.

In the past four years, discipli-

were reported in the Daily Offi-

notification of the house involved.
These accounts presented the
names of the groups involved, par-

IN ONE incident, the Phi Gam-

ed on April 17, the day following
the resumption of classes after
spring vacation. The Daily carried
a story on April 6, the last day of
classes before vacation, on infor-

In the Psi Upsilon case of No-

case of January 9, 1951 and the
Delta Tau Delta case of Decem-

names of the groups and the
penalties imposed was printed in
the DOB the day after the houses
were notified of the discipline.
Daily news accounts of the inci-
dents were carried on the same
day.
Judiciary departed from this
tradition last October when Alpha

for an unauthorized, unchaperoned
hay ride in October. Public no-
tice of this action was not made
until last Friday. Similar proced-
ure was followed in the Sigma Phi
