Levin '33, member of the Faculty Committee on the Theatre commented--and keeps within a cost limit of $1.5 million, reportedly set by the Corporation...
...Council's Executive Board would like to record its opposition to this stand. We feel that the U.N. Council's activities should be, to quote a recent committee report, the "... dissemination of information towards the end of greater (international) understanding--and that the taking of policy stands would seriously limit this role."

...acceleration process in the cyclotron, the beam is directed into an experimental area. There are, however, no serious problems here of deflecting the particles: once the spiraling beam reaches the outer limit of the cyclotron chamber, it can be made to fly off on a tangential line into the experimental area. A typical experiment, Preston says, might involve a beam hitting a target of some element, perhaps carbon. Counters would be set up at various angles to the beam at the point of collision, and the data thus obtained--used with the laws of momentum--might give important information...
