Hundreds of thousands of Bri- tons were stricken in the spread- ing epidenic and confined to bed.. Some industries were crippled by the absence of m2'npower, schools were closed and hospitals were sorely over-burdened. No total casualty figures were compiled by health authorities but towns and cities in the affected areas reported influenza' victims running into tens of thousands at different places. Dr. Cx H.

Also Re]( To Receive Flu Vaccine Asian Influenza innoeulatipns will begin sometime in the near future, according to Dr. Morley. Beckett, Director of Health Serv- ice. Beckett reports that, although 3,500 University students and per- sonnel received preventative shots last-week, the innoculations cannot be resumed on an all-campus basis until all registration work is com- pleted and there is an adequate supply of vaccine on hand. He hopes to be starting again next week. Also scheduled to resume after- classes begin is the polio innocula- tion program, which was begun last year. Although an Asian Flu epidemic could result in three or four days of illness for 50 per cent of the University popuslation, the Michi- gan State Medibdl Society, has called for a de-emphasis on the seriousness of the oriental disease in light of current available in- formation. Medical Society president, Arch Wall, M.D., of Detroit, said that "experience with the disease in the United States shows that the disease itself has been mild, re- covery has been quick and the complications rare. I -Dally-David Arnold ACTIVATING A REACTOR-Nuclear physicists are shown attaching a fuel element on the crane preparatory to lowering it through twenty feet of water in the nuclear reactor at the Phoenix Memorial Laboratory on North Campus. The fuel element, two feet long and four inches square, is composed of aluminum and uranium. About eighteen elements are required to activate the giant device. The physicist in the background is operating the crane while his colleagues are attaching the element. Having been moved through the water, the fuel element (arrow) is slowly lowered into the fgel rack at the bottom of photo. Pipes leading from the fuel rack to the wall of the pool are used to channel the neutrons out of the reactor and into the laboratories when--they can be used for research. The 41,0400 -gallon pool is surrounded by high density concrete walls six feet thick at the base.

Sawyer, Director of the Michigan Memorial-Phoenix Pro- ject. 'Officials Plan Game Routes Plans for handling automobile traffic for the University's six home football games were made yesterday at a luncheon in the Union. . Attending officials decided the following football Saturday road rules. 1. Saline will be one way north from the expressway to the stadi- um from noon until game time and one way after the game. This action is expected to expedite De- troit traffic. 2. Traffic entering from the west will be routed via Stadium Blvd. It is hoped that at least one lane of the new U.S. highway 23 around Whitmore Lake can be used to handle traffic from the north. Representatives at the luncheon were hosted by the Board in Con- trol of Intercollegiate Athletics. Assembly of the fuel core began Tuesday morning and engineers worked well into this morning in their antiseptically clean, brilli- antly lit, windowless room on North Campus to achieve the cul- mination of years-of work. Fuel elements, rods of aluminum and uranium two feet long and four inches square, were moved by a crane from their storage rack underwater into a rack twenty feet below the surface of the 41,000 gallon pool. Within the rack is a "trigger," a small source of atomic particles called neutrons. When a fuel ele- ment is lowered into the rack, the neutrons strike it and give rise to more neutrons. These in turn split other uranium atoms. Thus, each' time another fuel element is added to the rack more neutrons are produced. With the addition of a fuel ele- ment, safety and control rods were slowly removed, and the increase in neutron production was calcu- lated and measured. When the amount of neutrons produced- reaches the "critical point," the reaction becomes self- sustaining and a nuclear reactor is born. The process is extremely pains- taking, the average time for addi- tion of one fuel element being. more than forty-five minutes. An estimated twenty fuel elements were to be added before the reac- tor became critical.

"We have waited years for this day," Dean Sawyer said in antici- pation of the critical point. "It is truly an historic occasion for the University and the State." The reactor is the University's program onthe peaceful uses of atomic energy andis" dedicated to University dead of World War II. Construction of the reactor was begun in 1955, and last week per- rmission was received from the AtomicEnergy Commission to be-' gin operation. SGC Extends Sign-up Time On In'surance, Growing interest in Student Government Council's health and accident insurance program has lengthened the time in which stu- dents may sign up for the plan. ..According to Scott Chrysler '59E, chairman of the health com- mittee, representatives of t h e American Casualty Company of Reading, Pennsylvania will remain here today and Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. in the main lobby of Student Activities Bldg. Chrysler estimated that approxi- mately 4,000 students have already ~signed, up" for the program. He, said "the plan' has been received very favorably." With each day's mail' approxi- mately 200 to 250 more 'accept- ances are received by the commit- tee. Number of people signing up at the Student Activities Bldg. has averaged around 100 a day ac-+ cording to Chrysler.
