AN ULTRA-HIGH-ENERGY par-
ticle accelerator for nuclear re-
search will be constructed at
Brookhaven National Laboratory
with completion expected by 1960.
Cost of design and construction
Is estimated at 20 million dollars.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced that the new machine,
an alternating gradient synchro-
ton, is designed to produce beams
of protons of energies ranging up
to 25 billion electron volts.
BNL, at Upton, Long Island,
N.Y., houses the most powerful
accelerator now in operation, the
Cosmotron, which has accelerated
protons to energies of 2.3 million
electron volts.
The Cosmotron is a giant iron
"doughnut" eight feet thick. Rest-
ing on this outer edge which is a
powerful magnet, is a circular,
flat-sided steel box, from which
nearly all air molecules have been
pumped. Into this box, the vacuum
chamber, protons (particles com-
mon to nuclei of all atoms) are in-
jected.
While the magnet holds them in
a circular course, an amplifier adds
1000 volts to the flight of the pro-
tons eeach of the 3 million times
they circle the machine during the
one second it is in operation.
The synchrotron will allow the
production of high energy beams
with smaller electromagnets and
related equipment than would oth-
erwise be possible.
'The energy of the particle beams
produced by accelerators bears a
direct relationship to the nuclear
phenomena that can be studied.
As higher energy levels have
been attained in laboratory ma-
chinesanewsub-nuclear particles
mave been discovered and new nu-
clear phenomena observed. Once
in operation the synchrotron will
be available to scientists wishing
to collaborate in Brookhaven re-
search programs or to carry out
independent programs.

'M' Stars
Wax, Wane
In 3 Years
By DAVE LIVINGSTON
Daily Sports Editor
THE FORTUNES of aspiring
young Michigan football play-
ers can rise or fall a long way
in three short years.
About this time three years ago
The Daily printed a story concern-
ing the freshman football team,
which Don Robinson called "the
best in several seasons." Robin-
son, now backfield coach but at
that time junior varsity coach,
listed 21 first-year men consid-
ered to have varsity potential.
Today those freshmen are the
seniors about whom the current
Wolverine grid squad supposedly
should be molded-yet of the 21
mentioned then only seven are
now listed on the roster and just
three of those have played regu-
larly.
In addition, two of the main-
stays of the '54 team, plus eight
other seniors on the roster, weren't
even mentioned three years ago.
Five guards were listed, but ap-
parently not considered worthy of
comment was Ted Cachey, cap-
tain and one of the sparkplugs
of this year's team.
Equally significant by its ab-
sence was the name of Dan Cline,
who has since become Coach Ben-
nie Oosterbaan's top tailback and
safety man.
THERE ARE really just two
Wolverines who could today be
described in the same way as they
were three years ago-Fred Baer
and Ed Hickey.
Hickey was called "a fine run-
ner and pass receiver," whic- he
still is since he fills in at wingback
for the ailing Tony Branoff.
Baer was given a particularly
apt quote: "One of the finest com-
petitors among the first-year men
is Fred Baer, a hard-driving full
back from Chicago Fenwick. Pos-
sessing a great desire to win, the
very fast, 180-pounder plays de-
fensive halfback as well as offen-
sive fullback."
Only on the .defensive halfback
part (he backs up the line) has
Baer failed to make the descrip-
tion good.
BUT ELSEWHERE three years
has seen a lot happen. Art
Walker was mentioned simply in
a list of "other linemen." Since
his sophomore year he could more
aptly be called "the lineman."
Jim Bates was listed as a top
end prospect. A year later he
switched to center where only a
series of injuries have kept him
from becoming one of Michigan's
great pivotmen and linebackers.
Dunc McDonald received top
billing as "the pitching quarter-
back from Flint Northern." His
passing prowess remains unques
tioned but for four years he has
had to take a back seat to others
who could more capably fulfill
the other requirements of a single-
wing quarterback.
The other two men who were
mentioned as freshmen and are
still wearing football togs are
tackle Joe Shomsky and end John
Veselenak, each of whom has been
relegated to a reserve role.
Veselenak won his letter during
the two-platoon days, but his de-
fensive ability hasn't paid off with
t regular berth since the return
to the single platoon system.
THE TWO most highly touted
freshman tailbacks were Don
Eaddy, who dropped football to
concentrate on baseball and bas-
ketball, and Don Evans, who has
since left school.
A couple of other then-promise.
ing backs, Don Becker and Bill
Barlow, are no longer on the local
sports scene.
Dean Ludwig and Glen Bowers
looked to be the top prospects at
center, but neither of them cur-
rently wears the Maize and Blue.
Bowers has dropped out of school,
but it was an injury that side-
lined Ludwig.

WASN'T AWARE of my re-
sponsibilities," pianist William
Doppmann, '56SM commented, re-
calling his first concert appear-
ance at the age of ten with Cin-
cinnati's Symphony Orchestra.
Doppmann won both the Walter
W. Naumburg Music Foundation
Award and the Michaels Memorial
Award last year. He is the first
person to win both in one year
as well as being the first Univer-
sity student to receive the Mich-
aels Memorial.
The Naumburg Association spon-
sors a debut in New York's famed
Town Hall. Doppmann's Town
Hall recital took place Oct. 5.
Doppman's instructor, Prof.
Benning Dexter, of the School
of Music, sent Dean Earl V.
Moore of the music school a
telegram after the concert, quot-
ing comments from the New
York Press. The comments were,
"High praise of pianism; enthus-
ed over artistry and maturity."
As part of his Town Hall pro-
gram, Doppmann played Samuel
Barber's "Sonata opus 26," not
knowing that Barber was in the
audience. "Barber came backstage
afterwards," Doppmann said, "I
was surprised that he would come
to hear me play his Sonata after
hearing it played by people like
Horowitz and Firkusny."
"Barber has since sent me a let-
ter," Doppmann noted, "saying
how much he enjoyed my interpre-
tation of his work and making
some suggestions."
Doppmann's next concert was
with the Grosse Pointe Symphony
Orchestra Nov. 7. He has sched-

uled appearances with the Cincin-
nati Symphony in January, the
South Bend and Hillsdale Orch-
estras in March and the Plymouth
Orchestra in April.
Another concert of the future
is an appearance with the Chi-
cago Symphony Orchestra at
the Ravinia Festival next sum-
mer.
Doppmann was born in Spring-
field, Mass., and his family moved
to Cincinnati before Doppmann
began grammar school. At thatj
time he was given the nickname of
"Skip" by his parents.
Doppman started playing the
piano when he was five years old.'
His family was musically inclined
since his father played piano and
his mother violin.
"I had expressed a desire to take
lessons," Doppmann noted," and
wound up playing two-note pieces
with words on the piano my grand-
parents had given us."

WILLIAM DOPPMANN PLAYS HIS 'WARES' FOR PROF.
BENNING DEXTER
After enrolling in the Cincin-
nati Conservatory of Music, he
began taking lessons with Rob-
ert Goldsand. Within a year,
Doppmann was playing solo re-
citals. He appeared in Toledo
and Cincinnati during his high
school days, giving ten concerts
during those years.
While Doppmann was in his
senior year in high school, Gold-
sand left the Conservatory to teach
at the Manhattan Music School in
New York.
Doppmann went to New York
for six weekends, staying at Gold-
sand's home, taking lessons and
playing recitals at the Music
School.
He attended the National Music
Camp at Interlochen for four
summers, three of which were
spent in the high school division.
He performed in student recitals,
chamber music concerts and for
the concerto programs.
In 1952, Doppmann entered the
music school enrolling as a piano
major under Prof. Dexter.
While on campus, Doppmann
has accompanied the Michigan
Singers under Prof. Maynard Klein,
performed in composer's forums
and student recitals.
In his freshman year, Dopp-
mann was part of a WUOM trio
which broadcast a 15 minute pro-
gram once a week for two semes-
ters.
With no specialized repertory,
Doppmann feels that it is a good
idea to study a variety of styles
and pieces from the entire piano
literature. "I admire many pian-
ists," Doppmann commented,.
"and especially respect Rach-
maninoff, Kappell and Hess."
When asked what he plans for
the future, Doppmann said, "all
I can do is wait and see what
comes up."
Discussing American Music,
Doppmann said, "I feel that the
American performer owes a ter-
rific obligation to creative thought
of his time."
Outside of the world of music,
Doppmann is interested in lan-
guages and has taken both Ger-
man and Italian. "If I could
squeeze it in," he noted, "I'd like
to begin French next semester.
"Recitals are exciting," Dopp-
man said, "but this is just a start.
Engagements and awards make an
added responsibility to keep up to
standards of other winners and
especially to raise one's own stand-
ards."
"It's an obligation to work
harder," Doppmann added.

Grosso in D is a fine example.
The many contrasting sections
of the Concerto are very effectively
set forth. The solo violin passages
are done with refinement and taste
by Messrs. Mazzato and Malanotte.
Anyone interested in woodwind
instruments would probably enjoy
the Vivaldi Oboe Concerto also in-
cluded on the record.
The soloist, Renato Zanfini,
plays with evenness and control
the equal of any I've heard. The
little known but delightful Sym-
phony in D by Clementi is per-
formed by the Virtuosi with their
usual fine interpretation and exe-
cution.

MERCURY here continues its
policy of presenting orches-
tral works by important American
composers. The Piston symphony
is a well conceived, well orches-
trated work which should be of
strong appeal to many listeners.
The opening slow movement,
with its sinuous, restless line,
strikes a deeper expressive note
than any other Piston composition
I have heard, and is probably the
outstanding thing in the sym-
phony.
The fast second movement is
piquant and very rhythmic, with a
delightfully melodic middle sec-
tion. The third movement is slow
and lyrical, and the finale is full
of pounding energy. The perform-
ance by Dr. Hanson and his or-
chestra is clean and authentic
sounding.

MOZART: Serenade, Eine Kleine
Nachtmusik, K. 525; A Musi-
cal Joke, K. 522. Vienna Kon-

ster WL 3315)
IT IS A pleasure to have the fam-
ous little Mozart Serenade per-
formed by a small chamber group
instead of a full orchestral string
section. Thus we are privileged to
hear the delicate counterpoint, to
realize the full rhythmic vitality,
and, above all, to feel the inti-
macy of that composer who, of all
composers, depends on a sensitive
and sympathetic communication.
Only when we have the clarity of
such a small-scale performance as
this, can we say that we know
Mozart.
The "Musical Joke" represents
Mozart in a tongue-in-cheek mood,
writing music with a basic sar-
casm as its keynote. The humor
of this work comes not so much
from the obvious moments of
raucous abandon, but from a very
subtle triteness; the same trite-
ness which enables us to distin-
guish Mozart's less capable con-
temporaries.
As such, this work gives us a
marvelous insight into the com-
poser's methods, for we see just
what he was avoiding, and how he
was constantly concerned with a
fuller realization of an artistic
ideal of personal sincerity and
tasteful refinement.
