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.

“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.”
