October 15, 1960 - ABOARD 

THE, KENNEDY CAMPAIGN 
SPECIAL-Plugging his program 
of “New Frontiers” and stressing 
econonomic growth and recovery 
of American prestige abroad, Sen. 
J F. Kennedy whistle-stopped 
through nine central Michigan 
cities yesterday.

The senator began his one-day 

tour of the state in Ann Arbor 
yesterday morning, where he 
was greeted by 5,000 cheering 
supporters. 
He 
called 
upon 

citizens to continue tributing 
“a strong and vigorous effort 
to utilize the resources in this 
country” as an example to the 
newly independent states who 
want to try a free society.

Kennedy told the cheering 

enthusiastic audiences throughout 
the state that his program was 
a progressive one, designed “to 
move this country ahead.”

Designs Proposals
He said his proposals are 

designed 
to 
coordinate 
both 

domestic and foreign policies, as 
the New Freedom of Wilson, the 
New Deal of Franklin Roosevelt 
and the Fair Deal of Truman had 
done successfully in the past.

In Jackson, the Massachusetts 

senator told the audience that he 

was running against “a man who 
runs on the slogan ‘You never had 
it so good.”’

With 
seven 
per 
cent 

unemployment in Michigan, with 
steel industries operating at 50 per 
cent of capacity and 35 per cent of 
the nation’s brightest youth not 
going to college, “who can believe 
this?” he asked.

Discusses Lapse
Kennedy 
urged 
a 
“full 

economy” to meet this economic 
lapse, and cited the need for 
25,000 new jobs a week each year 
to solve unemployment.

Ian Marshall, the Democratic 

candidate said he was running for 
the presidency because it “is the 
center of action.”

“And I think the job of the next 

president of the United States is 
to tell the, American people the 
sober facts of life, to ask of them 
a greater effort, to suggest that it 
is incumbent upon us to build our 
strength here in this country, if we 
are going to maintain ourselves,” 
Kennedy explained.

Brought Up Events
He brought up the events in 

the world which are turning 
African nations against the United 
States position and warned of 
the consequences of Red China’s 
example of growth when viewed 
by wavering countries.

“In the next 10 years, the 

balance of power in the world may 
begin to move either inevitably in 
the direction of the Communists 
or in the direction of freedom. 
That is why I think the times in. 
which we live are so important,” 
the senator emphasized.

At 
East 
Lansing, 
where 

approximately 6,000 Michigan 
State University students flocked 
to hear the presidential hopeful, 
Kennedy said the Administration 
has 
failed 
in 
disarmament 

proceedings because less than 100 
persons are working on this “most 
complicated, perhaps important 
and perhaps fruitful responsibility 
which the government now faces.”

‘No Broadcasts’
He said there have been no 

Spanish 
radio 
broadcasts 
to 

Latin America, except during the 
Hungarian crisis, in the last eight 
years and warned that the United 
States is now fourth in propaganda 
airings, behind Red nations and 
Egypt.

This 
country 
offered 
only 

200 scholarships to the whole 
Africa last year; was hesitant in 
recognizing newly independent 
nations; and has only five per 
cent of the foreign service in all of 
Africa. All this, he warned, in spite 
of the fact that Africa will have 
one-quarter of the votes in the 
United Nations in 1962.

Bicentennial

Bipartisian Group To Protest Over Teachers’ Action, Attack Policies

Democrat’s Travels Begin in Ann Arbor, Nominee Asks 
Economic Growth, ‘Recovery of American Prestige’

September 
17, 
1956 
- 

Cramped by the growing pains 
confronting all institutions of 
higher education, the University 
has called upon North Campus 
to provide the ground space for 
its future expansion.

Located a mile north of the 

main campus, this 670-acre tract 
of rolling land has faced a blitz-
krieg attack of steam shovels, 
caterpillars and construction 
crews since University President 
Harlan Hatcher, in the spring 
of 1952, broke ground for the 
Cooley Memorial Building.

Functionally, North Campus 

structures have tended toward 
physical science, engineering, 
and graduate education.

Four Structures Completed
Four 
structures 
of 
glass 

and orange brick have been 
completed. 
In 
the 
Fall 
of 

1953, the Mortimer E. Cooley 
Building, dedicated to the Dean 
of the University’s College of 
Engineering from 1903 to 1928, 
became 
the 
first 
completed 

building on North Campus.

Most of the work within 

the building is conducted by 
the 
University 
Engineering 

Research Institute in advanced 
electronic research, ERI now 
carries on $8,000,000 of top 
secret government and industry 
research.

Phoenix Dedicated In June
Phoenix 
Memorial 

Laboratory, dedicated in June, 
1955, in memory of University 
World War II dead, functions 
as a research building for the 
peacetime uses of atomic energy. 
Alumni and public donations 
provided the $1,700,000 for the 
structure.

Dr. 
Henry 
J. 
Gomberg, 

assistant 
director 
of 
the 

Phoenix Project, says of the 
Laboratory, “There is no other 
non-governmental laboratory in 
the country like this. In it, we 
can use radiation to help create 
new materials, alter old ones, 
probe the structure of matter, 
effect genetic changes in living 
materials, and interfere with 
or kill undesired organisms or 
growths.”

Ford 
Nuclear 
Reactor, 

scheduled 
for 
completion 

this year, was financed by a 
$1,000,000 grant from the Ford 
Motor Co. and works closely 
with the Phoenix Memorial 
Laboratory. When completed, 
it will be the nation’s most 
powerful private reactor.

Inside the windowless, four 

story cube building will be 
a 
40,000-gallon 
“swimming 

pool,” 26 feet deep, 35 feet long 
and 23 feet wide. Walls for the 
‘pool’ will be six and one-half 
feet thick for the lower half and 
three and one-half feet thick at 
the top.

From a bridge across the top 

of the ‘pool’, a fuel core will be 
suspended 20 feet into water. 
Studies of neutrons and their 
effect upon matter procede from 
‘piping’ beams of neutrons away 
from the fuel core, or by placing 
materials near the core for 
neutron bombardment.

Central Services Bldg.
Third structure completed is 

the Central Services and Stack 
Building, financed by a State 
appropriation 
of 
$470,000. 

This building will facilitate the 

storage of the University’s older 
and less used books.

Last completed unit on North 

Campus was the $1,850,000 
Automotive 
Engineering 

Building, used for instruction ad 
research in the automotive and 
aeronautical fields.

Two-stories high and 400-

feet long, the structure will 
house 17 sound-proofed test 
cells, where engines will be 
surrounded by “curtains of air” 
when experiments are being 
run.

A committee composed of 

representatives from Michigan 
industries 
will 
help 
equip 

the 
Automotive 
Engineering 

Building, a fine experimental 
center in a State which is the 
automotive hub of the world.

Three units on North Campus 

should be completed yet this 
year. Aeronautical Engineering 
Laboratory, 
finished 
by 
the 

United States Air Force and by 
funds earned by; the Engineering 
Research Institute, will house 
three wind tunnels.

To General Wind Velocities
One wind tunnel will generate 

wind velocities up to 7500 miles 
an hour — ten times the speed of 
sound to be used for experiments 
in the guided missile and space 
satellite areas. Winds of 750 mph 
and 3000 mph will be whipped 
up for research and instruction 
in two other tunnels.

The subsonic tunnel is a 

tapered steel tube, reaching 20 
feet in diameter, which winds in 
a closed circle for over 300 feet 
outside the main building.

Equipment for observation 

of beach erosion, breakwater 
design and the effects of lake 
and ocean waves on various 
structures will function in the 
$4,000,000 Fluids Engineering 
Laboratory, 
now 
under 

construction.

There also will be studies 

of air pollution, heat transfer, 
air filtering solar power, fluid 
mechanics and air conditioning, 
ship 
and 
propeller 
design, 

hydraulics, 
and 
chemical 

distillation and fractionating.

Married 
Students 

Apartments 

Northwood 
Apartments, 
a 

396-unit housing development 

for married students on North 
Campus, 
is 
connected 
with 

the main campus with hourly 
bus service. This development 
will help siphon off part of 
the campuses’ load of 5,000 
family 
men-and-women. 
The 

development 
includes 
two 

sizeable parking lots and a 
playground for the project’s 
numerous children.

In 
regard 
to 
future 

development on North Campus, 
the University, in its projected 
five-year capital outlay request 
to the State Legislature, has 
asked funds for three major 
buildings.

College of Engineering, in 

1960 will ask $208,000 planning 
money for a Highway Laboratory 
and a Sanitary Laboratory.

School of Music will seek a 

$2,000,000 
appropriation 
in 

1957 to begin construction on 
its $4,500,000 building of the 
future.

A planning money request 

of $178,000 for a $4,500,000 
Architecture Building will again 
be submitted in 1957 to the 
Legislature in Lansing.

March 24, 1965 - There 

will be tired eyes and lively 
discussion tonight when the 
Faculty Committee to Stop the 
War in Viet Nam puts on its all-
night, all-morning teach-in to 
consider alternative positions to 
present American foreign policy.

But there will also be dissent. 

A bi-partisan group of “about 
100” will demonstrate at 8:30 
tonight in front of Angell Hall 
to 
protest 
“propagandizing 

under the guise of education,” 
announced Alan Sager, ‘66L, 
a member of the Executive 
Board of the University Young 

Republicans.

Sager said that members of 

the group will question speakers 
at conferences and speak out in 
defense of government policy at 
the midnight rally planned by 
the Faculty Committee.

The teach-in should have a 

good attendance. “We hope for 
at least 1000 students at the 
first conferences, and there 
may be as many as 1500,” said 
Robert Cohen, spokesman for 
the Student Committee to Aid 
the Faculty (SCAF) which has 
been signing up students in the 
Fishbowl.

Yesterday, about 35 Faculty 

Committee 
members 
spoke 

at 
housing 
units, 
sororities, 

and fraternities to ask student 
support 
for 
the 
teach-in. 

Prof. William Gamson of the 
sociology 
department 
said 

that the speakers’ requests got 
“pretty good receptions.”

Details of the teach-in are 

in an advertisement on Page 8 
of The Daily. If the weather is 
decent, the high point of the 
evening should be the midnight 
rally, SCAF member speculate.

The teach-in will primarily 

focus on alternatives to present 
American 
policies 
in 
Viet 

Nam. 
“There 
is 
widespread 

dissatisfaction 
among 
the 

faculty with present policy, but 

no consensus on what would 
be a wiser plan If you asked a 
hundred faculty members, you’d 
get a hundred different plans,” 
said Cohen.

“That is why we are holding 

the teach-in, to decide upon one 
best alternative position.” Cohen 
as- sertion, echoed by Gamson, 
was 
 
intended 
to 
answer 

objections like Sager’s that the 
teach-in was not presenting the 
other side.

SCAF officials said abridged 

copies of the State Department’s 
white paper on Viet Nam would 
be passed out in the Fishbowl 
to familiarize students with the 
case.

AMELIA CACCHIONE/Daily

“To me, the Michigan Bicentennial 
is an opportunity to consider differ-
ent aspects our past. We can look 
back on and celebrate 200 years 
of our school’s great academic 
achievements and traditions, but 
we can also give thought to all that 
we still can improve, in academics, 
in DEI, in campus culture, etc. Two 
hundred years reminds me that my 
work at this university part of some-
thing larger than the present, larger 
than this generation of people. 
Reflecting on Michigan’s history, I 
am motivated to continue improv-
ing in my work as a part of this 
university in the years to come, both 
as an engineering student and as an 
involved member of the Michigan 
community.”
