TIM AY, OCTOBER 29,1951 'll'- MICHIGAN DAIRY PAGE TIME19 THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1956 THE MICHIGAN DAILY PAGE THREE DETECTS RADIO WAVES: New Telescope Aids Research Present Quad Employee Participated in 3 Wars "I have spent my younger life fighting the Communists," said Nikola Gubin, Russian-born Aus- trian DP now working at South Quad, "and now I want to spend the rest of my life just living." From Warsaw to Ann Arbor in three wars and half a lifetime could best sum up the past of this snowy haired gentleman - former cellist, bandleader and soldier. A compact man of exceedingly good humor, in spite of a lifetime of battle, Gubin now works as a maintenance man in South Quad. Born in Warsaw in 1897, Gubin was only seventeen when he went into the Russian army against the troops of Kaiser Wilhelm. Joined 'White Russians' Nineteen seventeen saw the sec- ond Russian revolution and the ascendency of Lenin and Trotsky; and in the Red-White civil war that followed Gubin joined the "White Russians." In two years of fighting, he was wounded twice, once in each ankle and spent a month in a hospital at Sevastopal. In his slightly halting English, Gubin said, "When the White Rus- sians were beaten, I had to go RADIO TELESCOPE-Workmen and cranes install reflector and receiver of radio telescope being built near Portage Lake. By JAMES BOW Radio waves instead of light waves will be the subject of re- search of the University's new radio-telescope, still under con- struction. The new observatory, located near Portage Lake, is being built under contract between the United States Office of Naval Research and the University. There are about a dozen tele- scopes of this type in the United States, and about two dozen more located throughout the world. Some of the discoveries made through the use of this particular kind of telescope include the spiral form of our galaxy, a finding which was first clearly shown oy radio methods. Also, in the recent studies of Mars when the body passed rela-, tively close to earth, a radio-tele- scope detected radio waves emitted by the planet. Cooperating on Project Both the astronomy and electri- cal engineering departments are cooperating on the project, which is a development of a new field of science only ten years old. , Prof. Leo Goldberg, chairman of the astronomy department, and Prof. Stephen S. Atwood, chair- man of the electrical engineering department, are supervising the project. The principle research to be carried on by the University's tele- scope will deal with the sun, and its bursts of radio waves, and their connection with other astron- omical observations. The observatory, when com- pleted, will feature a 28 foot tele- scope, good to 10,000 megacycles; in other words, the telescope, while relatively small, will have con- siderable accuracy. * According to Prof. Fred T. Had- dock of the astronomy and electri- cal engineering department, the University hopes, in the next year. to build a radio-telescope over twice as large yet with the same precision. Complete Building The building for the observatory is expected to be completed in about a month, with the electronic equipment installed this winter, and the telescope will be tilted to conform with the axis of the earth. Since the radio-telescope is a joint project, both Prof. Goldberg and Prof. Atwood are working on the project, along with Prof. Had- dock and Nat Winsnes, a full-time research associate. The field of radio-astronomy was originated by Karl Jansky, an employee of the Bell Telephone Co. in New Jersey. Since then, discoveries in the field have included new types of, celestial bodies, shock waves in the solar atmosphere, radio energy waves from the planets, moon, and the sun, and spiral galaxies in collision. Although the radio-observatory as yet has no official name, it is known by its location-10280 N. Territorial Rd.; Dexter, Michigan. U' Students To Visit Albion Albion college has invited Uni- versity students to hear Sir Goef- frey Keynes discuss "Blake's Illum- inated Books," on Thursday, Nov. 1. According to Vernon Bobbitt, chairman of Albion's art depart- ment, this lecture will be presented only three time on this continent. Sir Goeffrey, brother of the famous economist, Sir Maynard Keynes, has gained considerable recognition as a surgeon, bibliog- rapher and art critic. One of Britain's foremost sur- geons, he has made important dis- coveries concerning facial paraly- sis. Also president of Britain's Bib- liographical Society, he has com- come than twelve literary and piled more, than 'twelve literary and medical bibliographies. Recognized as the chief bibliog- rapher of William Blake, Sir Goef- frey is acknowledged the world authority on the life and work of the mystical British poet and artist. The definitive edition of Blake's engravings is his most'recent work. more. I just like to listen to it." An enthusiastic fan of opera, he knows most major operas "like a book." When the Second World War erupted, Gubin once again took up arms against his old enemy, the Communists. Under General Ros- soff, he spent four years in guerilla warfare against the forces of Mar- shall Tito. At the end of the war, he fled to Austria and for six years, spent his days as a clerk and his nights directing a street band. In 1951. he came to the U.S. as a Displaced Person and settled in Ann Arbor. Working in the Quad and living with his American wife, Gubin says that now he is "just living, for the first time, just living." 'U' Tuition Meets Par In Big Ten The University's tuition fees are no longer out of line with Big Ten fee schedules, according to Univer- sity Vice-President Wilbur K. Pier- pont. "Historically, the University's fees have been considered high in the Big Ten. However, recent increases i nother institutions have brought their fees to the level of the Uni- versity or higher," Pierpont said. Northwestern University has the highest tuition rate in the Big Ten. A privately owned school, tuition costs $555 per year and in- cludes student enterprises, library. practice, and laboratory 'fees. Pur- due, Indiana and Minnesota are among the schools which charge the lowest tuition. Fees Were Increased The last University tuition in- crease went into effect in the fall of 1955. Non-resident fees were increased from $215 to $235 per semester and resident fees were boosted from $90 to $100. Tuition fees comprise 20 per cent of the University's general fund expenses, grossing almost seven million dollars per year. The remaining 80 per cent is received from the state and other sources. Pierpont pointed out that $7.50 received per semester from full time women students is allocated to the League, six dollars per man is given to the Union, five dollars per student to inter-collegiate ath- letics, $1.25 to the alumni associ- ation, and $5.50 to student activi- ties. "The remainder of the money goes into the University's general fund for the general support of the University," Pierpont declared.' The general fund covers the ex- penses for all the University's schools and colleges, plant opera- tions, administrative services, Dean of Men and Women offices, stu- dent services, admissions and libraries. Tuition payments are approved by the Board of Regents. Estab- lishment of all fees are subject to consideration by the fees com- mittee, directors, deans, adminis- trative officers, and finally ap- proved by the Regents.
