ANNUAL REPORT:
Phoenix Project .Progress Cited
Marked physical growth and increased research activity are
rescribed in the annual progress report of the University's Memorial-
Phoenix Project.
To be dedicated June 9, 1955, the $1,500,000 Phoenix Labora-
tory which is under construction on the new North Campus, has
already sponsored 98 new research projects over a six-year span.
Of the 98 projects, 27 have been concluded "each adding in-
formation that increases our knowledge of the nature, the possi-
bilities, or the limitations of atomic energy for peaceful purposes," the
report says.
Dedicated to War Dead
The Phoenix Memorial is a program dedicated to University
World War II dead and is devoted to the study of the beneficial
uses of atomic energy. Although active solicitation of funds for the
project ceased in 1953, after a campaign goal of $6,500,000 was ex-
ceeded by almost a million dollars, contributions continue to come
in, the report notes.
It continues to point out that with its one-million watt nuclear
reactor, the completed laboratory will provide facilities unequalled
in the field of high-level radiation research. The reactor will be the
most powerful research installation outside the Atomic Energy Com-
mission.
Ten million neutrons will be produced, during the reactor's op-
eration, in a square centimeter of the reactor's enriched uranium
fuel supply. Basic building blocks of the atom, they will be invalu-
able in a wide range of fundamental scientific and engineering ex-
periments.
Varied Research Projects
Research of the Phoenix Project ranges from the legal and social
implications of atomic energy to its uses in medical therapy, in
the preservation of food and sterilization of materials, and as an
invaluable "tracer" that reveals the functions of living cells and the
structure of matter.
Research activity outlined in the report includes one of poten-
tial importance in the production of large amounts of polio virus
needed for vaccine purposes. It deals with the sterilization by gamma
radiation of tissue culture fluids, the medium in which the virus
is grown. The process provides complete, rapid sterilization of the
fluid, allowing the virus to grow

University News Service
A continuing major interest of
both the health sciences and bIo-
logical sciences, is the effect of
radiation on living systems, a s).b-
ject which is of concern to every-
one. Investigations are in progress
in this area coverning many liv-
ing organisms, including animals,
plants, parasites, bacteria, and
viruses.4
Includes Five Laboratories
These few projects and many
others are touched upon in the re-
port as well as the work of five
laboratories assisted or supported
by the Phoenix Project. These are
the Alice Crocker Lloyd Memorial
Isotope Research Laboratory, the
Alice Croocker Lloyd Radiation
Therapy Center, the Phoenix
Radioisotope Laboratory, the Plant
Nutrition Laboratory, and the
Phoenix Radiocarbon Dating Lkb-
oratory.
The project is directed by Dean
Ralph A. Sawyer, of the Horace
H. Rackham School of Graduate
Studies. Assistant Director is Prof.
Henry J. Gomberg, of the electri-
cal engineering department Roger
L Leatherman is assistant to'the
director.

"I like a job that keeps me jumping,"
says Bill Jermain, C.E. from Marquette,
'52. "And my first management assign-
ment with Wisconsin Telephone Com-
pany does just that. I'm Service
Foreman at Sheboygan, with nine install-
ers, and that means variety of responsi-
bility. But judge for yourself. Here's
a quick run-down of what I did yester-
day, on a typical day-
8:10-"Checked day's work schedule.
One of my new men was putting in a
buried service wire, and I went over the
job specs with him to be sure he had
things straight.
8:30-"Answered mail while my clerk
checked time sheets from previous day.
9:30-"Out to supervise installation of
the first aluminum Outdoor Telephone
Booth in my exchange. Reviewed the
assembly instructions with the installers,
then arranged for special tools and bolts
to be delivered to the job.
11:30-"Drove across town. Made a
complete 'quality inspection' on a tele-
phone we installed last week. Everything
checked O.K.
12:00-"Lunch.
1:00-"Picked up film for next day's
safety meeting. Watched the film, made
notes for discussion.
2:00-"Met with moving company
manager to estimate cost of telephone
cable lifting for a house moving job.
Drove the route he had planned and
worked out schedule for construction
crews.
3:30-"Returned to aluminum booth in-
stallation. Went over wiring specs with
the electrician.
4:00-"Stopped at Central Office to
pick up next day's orders. Met installers
at garage as they checked in and assigned
next day's work."
