The pool is scheduled for completion in September of this year. U Builds Atomic Swimming Pool Regents Pass Appoinitments Of Eight Lit School Professors The most powerful atomic swim- ming pool on a University campus will be completed on North Camp- us by September of this year. The atomic swimming pool is a source of high intensity neutrons, scheduled for use in research and experiments. It will be used .to produce radiation sources for medical treatment and the study of metabolism, Other uses cited by Prof. Rus- sell Mesler, project engineer and sargeant of the reactor, include tagging organic compounds, stud- ies of sterlizing of foods and phar- maceuticals, processing isotopes from radiated materials, and stud,- All Find They Love a Parade (Continued from Page 1) the less original of his playmates just cheered. "It's real sand," an eight-year- old discovered as he reached up to the float bearing Neptune, fish- nets and undersea corals. Some of the kids were content to remain in one place-gleefully touching clowns on their papier- mache heads and vying for their precious balloons; shouting "You dropped a napkin" after disinte- grating floats or "You can't hit me" after every wide one that passed by. Other of the younger set felt it just wouldn't have been a parade if they couldn't move with it, try- ing to hitch rides on their favorite floats or dismantling them for souvenirs. At the very least they had to all sweep onto the street aafter each float passed and sweep back off when another one neared. Groan and Cheer When the last float, looking quite as gay as the first, had passed, both young and old let out a m'nixed groan and cheer, which slowly travelled down the nearly-three miles of parade route. "Is that all?" asked a coed. "All?" replied another sarcastical- ly. The last word on the parade was that of a toddler. As his mother pushed his stroller /away from the parade's end, he gurgled, "I like it." ies of sterilizing of foods and phar- ducits. "The most important use of the reactor," said Prof. Mesler, "will be the training of people in nuclear technology and educating them."- He declared that the reactor "will not only meet the needs of educat- DAILY IOFFICIAL BULLETIN (Continued from Page 4) Latin/English; American History.

With the exceptions of re- actors at Penn State and Oakridge, Tennessee, few other universities possess such a neuclear pool, said Prof. Mesler. The pool is sheltered by a rein- forced concrete building, 85 by 65 feet and 80 feet high. Radium fuel elements are immdrsed in 20 feet of water. Workmen have aligned the 900- pound "beam ports" that will car- ry radiation away from the uran- ium fuel elements. The water and conci'ete walls, six and one-half feet trick, will. provide shielding. The concrete will surround tle beam ports.

C College Roundup By TED FRIEDMAN What's the old saying about imitation being the highest form of flattery? The Michigan State News at East Lansing has revamped its editorial page. The student editorials have all been placed in the first two columns on the left, just below a new "Michigan State News" mast-head. In the center of the top of the page is a political cartoon, and at the page's bottom is a "Little Man on Campus" cartoon. "These," the News proudly announces in an editorial, "will be part of the State News editorial page new look. In short, the Sate News is seeking ... to give you, the reader, one of the best collegiate newspapers in the nation." It is only to be wondered, then, in the light of these desires, why the paper did not go all the way and change its name to The Michigan Daily. * * * * The driving ban started last fall at the University of Colorado is credited with bringing on an 11 per cent hike in freshman grades. Last fall, the university issued a ruling forbidding freshmen from operating automobiles. The Colorado dean of men has now de- clared that the subsequent grade rise is due to the driving ban. However, no statement was released as to whether the officials now plan to extend the ban to all students. * * * * A University of Minnesota student shot his instructor and then fatally wounded himself after he failed his ROTC course. "He wanted to be an officer more than anything else in the world," a fellow student said. Capt. Francis L. Franklin, the ROTC instructor, was reported in good condition at the hospital. After the attempted murder, the student ran across the street into the Museum of Natural History. He went into a men's room, put a shot into his head and died instantly. Fear of an antiquated 1879 anti-boycott slaw discouraged stu- dents at the University of Illinois from carrying out a proposed gaso- line-buying boycott. The Daily Illini, the student paper, explains: "The boycott of Champaign gas stations was proposed in an effort to get someone other than students to petition the City Council to rezone the campus area." The students were reported to be lacking parking facilities. However, an Illinois law passed in the last century made punish- ment for inciting a boycott six months in jail or a $2,000 fine. Although all of the students tested at Northwestern University said they believed in the Bill of Rights, only seven and one half per cent of them could recognize the document when they saw it. Prof. Raymond W. Mack, a Northwestern sociologist, presented 560 students the first ten amendments to the Constitution as an un- identified document. Ninety-two per cent' of students could not give the name of the document. * * * * By a total vote of three to one, the faculty of the University of Washington has come out against that university's speaker ban. The faculty was asked, "Do you favor the university's existing ban on campus speeches by political candidates?" Altogether 272 faculty members said they did not favor it, while 94 said they approved of the ban. An additional 60 faculty members said they were against the ban, but would favor some sort of restrictions. Nearly 80 per cent of those answering did not favor the ban as it now stands. Typical comments given in answering the question were: "The ban is unrealistic." "In a free country there should be free speech." "How can students know and learn the truth unless they can discriminate between the truth and the untruth?" One faculty member pointed out that the "gag-rule" _ was not enforced when General MacArthur gave his "non-political" speech attacking former President Truman in 1951. e (Continued from Page 1) I come, beginning in the fall, an as- sistant professor of mathematics. Peter A. Franken was appointed assistant professor of physics for the University year 1956-57. Miller Appointed Regents also approved the ap- pointment of Warren E.

His appointment is for a three-year term beginning in the fall. Regents also approved the ap- pointment of Robert H. Plummer to be associate professor of edu- cation and director of student af- fairs at the Flint College of the University, beginning June 1. A member of Wisconsin's facul- ty, Alex Berman, has been ap- pointed an assistant professor of pharmacy at the University. Regents also expressed approval of the appointment of Profs. Doug- las A.
