NOVEMBER 21. 19~4 SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1954 THE MICHIGAN DAILY Largest Synchrotron Analog -Courtesy of Brookhaven National Laboratory 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. --------------------- vs~~v::_;{: :::o~::::4 :::: w :::: "J::::::w.::J::at::,: ::::::::: ........... ::: ":..* :: 'v::::::::.:: ::::; .................................... . : I '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. See PREDICTIONS, Page 8 Student Pianist Tours Concert Circuit n i By DAVID KAPLAN 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- RECORD REVIEWS: Mozart 'Joke' to Bartok. i . 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." l l *4 :S i -Daily-Lynn Wallas 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.

The Corelli Concerto 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. Walter Piston: Symphony No. 3. Howard Hanson conducting the Eastman-Rochester Sym- peony Orchestra. (Mercury MG 40010) 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. Bela Bartok: Piano Concertos Nos. 2 and 3.

(Westmin- 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. - * Virtuosi di Roma, Renato Fas- ano, conductor.
