Nuclear Power
Feasible, Safe'
University engineers have found
that nuclear propulsion of merch-
ant ships is both feasible and safe.
These engineers also recommend
that the first commercial atom-
powered vessel should be a large
tanker.
Their research. also shows that
one nuclear reactor comparable to
that now used to propel the sub-
marine Nautilus would provide all
the power required.

FOREIGN HANDICRAFTS -- A sample of the "exotic, unusual"
manufactures that will be on sale during World University
Service's fund-raising Treasure Van, to be held February 23 to 25.
'TreasureVan To Head
W US Funds Campaign

$y VERNON NAHRGANG
World University Service is
making final preparations for its
coming fund drive and Treasure
Van, both to be held next week.
Letters have been prepared by
the local committee and are being
mailed to all faculty members and
their wives, inviting them to at-
tend the opening of the Treasure
Van, February 23.,
Thousands of dollars worth of
handicrafts and manufactures are
being imported for exhibit and
sale during the three days of the
Treasure Van.
Van to Sell Jewelry, Shoes
Jewelry, bells, shoes, bookends
and dolls are among the many
valuable foreign imports being
sold at prices of 75 cents to $25.
Everyone is invited to visit the
Hussey Room of the League dur-
ing the three . sale days of the
Treasure Van, February 23-25.
All profits made from sales will
go to World University Service
member countries to "Help stu-
dents help themselves."
WUS to Conduct Bucket Drive
During the first two days of
the Treasure Van sales, WUS will
be conducting its "Bucket" Drive
-without buckets. Sixteen cam-

pus locations will have collection
stations.
Plans so far will have various
houses manning the "buckets" for
short pe'riods, with results and
amounts collected by each group
being tabulated.
In addition to the "Bucket"
Drive and the Treasure Van, stu-
dents will have other ways of
contributing to WUS's program of
aid to students all over the world.
Students Can Donate Blood
"They can also give by blood
pledges," Anne Woodard, '57, co-
chairman of WUS said. "Students
can go to the University Hospital
and donate a pint of blood. The
hospital sends WUS a $15 dona-
tion for the blood."
WUS groups throughout the
country will be watching the suc-
cess of the local Treasure Van,
which is being tried in this coun-
try for the first time although it
has met with great success in
Canada.
Only students and faculty mem-
bers of the University are asked
to contribute to WUS. The dona-
tions will be sent to students and
faculty members in foreign coun-
tries who are only partly able to
support themselves.

Three proposals for measuring-
instruments in the launching of
earth satellites have been made by
University engineers for the In-
ternational Geophysical Y e a r,
1957-58.
Suggestions entailed a unit for
measuring pressure and composi-
tion of the upper atmosphere by
various ionization gauges, an in-
strument for measuring electron
density, and a complete satellite
that would measure the total den-
sity of the atmosphere at alti-
tudes between 200 and 250 miles.
The latter is expected to be ac-
complished by placing a sensitive
accelerometer in afive-foot-dia-
meter sphere weighing five pounds.
The drag of the air on the satel-
lite would be detected by. the in-
ternal device and radioed to the
ground. The drag would remain
in its orbit for days or even weeks,
said the engineers, even though it
is measurable.
Engineers Offer Suggestions
Leslie M. Jones, University re-
search engineer of the Engineer-
ing Research Institute, Professor
Gunnar Hok of the engineering
department, and Henry S. Sicinski,
associate research physicist with
the Engin'eering -Research Insti-
tute, participated in a two-day
meeting of the Upper Atmosphere
Rocket Research Panel at the Uni-
versity last month in which 40
suggestions for measuring-instru-
ments were made.
Prof. Hok described the instru-
ment for measuring electron den-
sity while Jones described the
satellite which would be used for
measuring the total density of the
atmosphere.
Sicinski told the gathered scien-
tists about an instrument designed
to measure pressure and composi-
tion of the upper atmosphere.
No decision has been reached by

officials of the U.S. International
Geophysical Year concerning what
specific instruments to include in
the satellites.
Suggestions In Test Series
University officials said, how-
ever, that suggestions made by the
engineers would likely be included
in the first test series when the
satellites are launched by rocket
from Patrick Air Base, Fla.
Dr.'Joseph Kaplan, chairman of
the U.S. IGY complimented the
University, saying it nad done an
"outstanding job in paving the
way for launching earth satellites.
He singled out the University's
research on space flight problems
in connection with Army Signal

added, "The University has done
an outstanding job in rocket re-
search, on the type that provided
a basis for our satellite program."
