Texas A&M’s new cyclotron, one of the most powerful and pre cise instruments ever built for nuclear research, will be dedi cated here Monday. Three world - famed scientists will participate in the ceremonies. They are Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg, chairman of the U. S. Atomic En ergy Commission; Dr. Willard F. Libby, director of UCLA’s Insti tute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics; and Dr. M. Stanley Liv ingston, associate director of the National Accelerator Laboratory near Chicago. THE $6 MILLION MACHINE, which was “turned on” for the first time in August, will be used for experiments in physics, biol ogy, medicine and engineering. By accelerating tiny nuclear par ticles to high speeds and bom barding various materials with them, the cyclotron gives scien tists information on how matter and energy behave. Researchers at M. D. Anderson Hospital in Houston are interes ted in bombarding tumor tissue with high-speed neutrons, which can be produced by the cyclotron. In basic physics, scientists want more information on how the nuc lei, or cores, of atoms react with each other. A&M’s machine, the world’s first major cyclotron built with “off-the-shelf” parts on a com petitive-bid basis, is housed in a modern 46,000-square-foot build ing on the campus. THE BUILDING WILL be the site of the dedication ceremonies starting at 9:30 a.m. Monday. Dr. Seaborg, winner of the 1951 Nobel Prize in chemistry, will deliver the major address: “The Advancing Frontiers of Intellec tual Development.” Dr. Libby, winner of the Nobel Prize in chemistry for 1960, will speak on “The Contribution of Nuclear Science to Chemistry.” Dr. Livi,ngston, who worked with the late Ernest 0. Lawrence in development of the first cyclo tron, will present a lecture, “Er nest Lawrence and the Cyclotron,” at 2 p.m. Monday in the Physics Building. AN OPEN HOUSE, during which the public is invited to view the cyclotron and the vari ous other facilities housed in the cyclotron institute building, will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. and from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday. A number of dignataries from government, science and educa tion will be present for the dedi cation. The cyclotron, the only machine of its kind in the Southwest, is a “third generation” outgrowth of the first machine built by Law rence and Livingston. Patterned after a cyclotron with an 88-inch particle chamber at the Lawrence Radiation Labo ratory in Berkeley, Calif., the A&M machine incorporates a number of improvements in de sign. AS THE NUCLEAR PARTI CLES are whirled around in the machine, they are focused by magnetic fields somewhat like lenses focus light, to compensate for effects predicted by relativity theory. It is this “sector focusing” capability which makes the A&M cyclotron one of the elegantly- designed accelerators ever built. The cyclotron will be able to give a number of nuclear particles various speeds. It will accelerate protons—basic building blocks of the atom’s core—to speeds of from six to 60 million electron volts. (The electrons which form the picture in a television tube are accelerated at about 20,000 electron volts.) The thing which gives the par ticles the kicks to faster and faster speeds is radio frequency energy. In operation, this takes 400,000 watts—enough to power eight commercial radio stations. TV FOR PE TV Aids Teaching In PE Department A television screen comes to life, re-enacting a scene portray ed only moments before. Watching the “instant replay” are Texas A&M students study ing teacher education in the Heal th and Physical Education De partment. The department headed by Dr. Carl W. Landiss began using “micro - teaching,” a compact, highly portable closed-circuit TV outfit, recently to help the stu dent teachers improve instruc tional techniques. Dr. Linus J. Dowell, in charge of teacher education, said the playback enables the student to see himself work. The instructor can make a quick critique of the presentation while it is still fresh on the student’s minds, re view personl movements, loudness of speech, diction, correct use of equipment, timing, position and other factors. “A student critique may cover WIHISH Steeplechase ^Su/EEPSTAl{ES m Congratulations to Our 1 I 000 D0 Winners!

The replay eliminates any argu ment.” The associate professor said use of the electronic gear with 31 student teachers now in health and PE may already be making a difference in the student’s pro gress. “He is better prepared if he knows he is going on tape,’’ Dow ell noted. “We are using micro-teaching in two area—teacher training anJ skill learing,” he went on. “It is or fac used to teach a very simple skill to a small group. Our groups i bsth - working before the camera are limited to five.” A&M gymnasts have used the instant replay to improve their skills. Dowell pointed out that jo. other groups—wrestlinf, tennis, 1 volleyball and basketball—can make valuable use of the equip- I ment. “I think micro-teaching will come to be used in public schools,” the instructor added. “We hope to tape our student teachers while they are on assignment next spring.” The Educational TV Depart ment equipment includes a came ra that will fit in a suitcase, with room to spare, and a wheeled record-playback console with a 12-inch screen. The tele-trainer, as it is called by the manufacturer, costs from $2,000 to $4,000, depending upon equipment sophistication and camera lens quality. A&M stu dents work in front of a Canon f/1.8 zoom lens of 25 to 100 mm focal length. “It’s easy to run,” Dowell com mented. “Anybody can operate the unit once it is set up. To get the full benefit of its capabilities, however - , a technician should ope rate the gear.” Dowell has been taping each of his 31 student teachers using one 30-minute-long reel of tape. The gymnasts used the same reel. An erase capability makes the same reel reusable. “Most college and university teacher education areas are using these units,” Dowell pointed out. “Elsewhere, it’s called mini-teach ing or simulation - teaching.

Cooper, director of civilian student activities. Cooper said the group will meet in the Sbisa office of Col. Fred Dollar, food service director, and then have lunch together. Any civilian student desiring to offer suggestions about the dining operation is invited to con- C Fan 3400 0T 429 { I Coi We sto Where Qua tact one' of the committee mem hers and attend the luncheon meeting as his guest, Cooper said.
