...more unsettled cross country teams in coach Bill McCurdy's regime will begin its season against Providence College and Boston University this afternoon in Franklin Park. Providence has the nucleus of a strong 1958 team back this year, but, as McCurdy said yesterday, "if the varsity can't take this meet in stride, it's due for a rough season...
...Nucleus of a Dream. Michigan State hopes to get to the goal by developing a top-drawer liberal arts college to match its excellent technical schools.

If the particles are made hot enough, the deuterium nuclei will collide with ample force to "fuse" together, forming helium 3 and giving off a neutron. When that happens, part of their mass is converted into energy-the energy of the hydrogen bomb, the stars...
