Agosti West 'Radio Quad Station Remodeled Amidst a tangle of wires and a technical discussion sits a bright new transmitter waiting to be in- stalled in the West Quar basement studio of WCBN, the radio net- work of the Quads. At the present time the West Quad station is in the process of rebuilding. Both South and East Quads are now equipped with new studios, and West Quad will soon be wdrking with new equipment. The basement studio will have new turn-tables along with the new transmitter. Although the West Quad studio is not finished, the target date for complete operation of the net- work is September 24, although there is doubt as to whether re- modeling will be completed by that date. WCBN has begun operations in spite of the handicap. South Quad is now broadcasting; they are transmitting background music from the Detroit FM station WLDM. West Quad will be broad- casting occasionally, using their old transmitter. At the present time WCBN has studios in West, South, and East Quads. It is also getting transmit- ters set up in Martha Cook and Victor Vaughn dormitories. WCBN officials hopes of getting trans- mitters in dormitories on the Hill soon.

Prof ol Decorated by Germany 'U' Scientists' Use Atomic 'Hot Coals' Using "hot coals" from a govern- ment atomic furnace, university scientists and engineers have be- gun a major search for new ma- terials formed by exposure to nu- clear radiation. The "coals" are radioactive fuel elements that are slowly losing their strength after being removed from the Atomic Energy Commnis- sion's Materials Testing Reactor at Arco, Idaho. They are still very potent, and are the only ones in use outside government installations, Prof. H. A. Ohlgren, supervisor of the En- gineering Research Institute pro- ject, reports. The four elements, each two feet long, arrived this summer and are stored under 16 feet of water in a well in the Phoenix Memorial Lab- oratory for atomic research. As "used" fuel elements, they differ from the new, nonradioac- tive ones the University also re- ceived during the summer for in- stallation in the Ford Nuclear Re- actor this fall. And because they contain a num- ber of important radioactive iso- topes in highly concentrated form, the "used" elements also differ from the single-isotope Cobalt 60 sources the University has been us- ing for years, Prof. Ohlgren says. In fact, the fuel elements and a cobalt source can be combined to form "one of the most powerful sources of radiation energy in the world," he points out. Prof. Ohlgren's group has set up equipment for piping chemical mixtures past the radioactive ele- ments at various rates as the tem- perature, pressure and catalyst are changed. They plan to do this with the components of more than 250 chemical products to find out what happens., he said. "Besides learning about the ba- sic nature of these reactions, we hope' to produce higher yields of useful chemicals at low tempera- tures and pressures, find new methods for economical manufac- ture of chemical products by or- dinary means, and uncover total- ly new products." 'i -A *l t Prof. James K. Pollock, chair- man of the political science de- partment and Murfen Professor oft Political Science was honored re-E cently by the German Governmentc for his work in that country. i West Germany's President Thee-S dor Heuss decorated Prof. Pollock with the Grand Order for Meritc medal at Villa Hammerschmidt, the German White House, Augustt 31. Prof. Pollock has long been ac- tive in German affairs. Following World War II he served as advis- or to General Lucius Clay and John J. McCloy, former High Commis- sioner to Germany. In the early years of the Allied occupation, he assisted in rebuild- ing the German government, par- ticularly the Council of States at Stuttgart. Prof. Pollock also has U IMPORTANT MESSAGE When a retailer receives a barrage of telephone calls and letters from University students who have heard rumors & facts about the quality & style of merchandise shown in this shop for over a quarter century. -Well it almost never happens in the apparel business.

In recent years he has been President of Franz Lieber Haus, an American foundation which has been assisting German organiza- tions and institutions fostering a unified and democratic Germany. Expected to return soon from his trip abroad, Prof. Pollock attended the meeting of the International Political Science Association, of which he is president, at the As- sociation's headquarters in Gene- va. The political science department chairman is a past president of the American Political Science Asso- ciation and he also served on the first Hoover Commission in 1947- 1949. Prof. Pollock was also awarded the Medal for Merit, the highest American civilian decoration, in 1946 for his work in Germany af- ter the war.
