Also included in the show will be Edward Cooke, international tennis star. Research Cited For Atom Pile The proposed nuclear reactor to be built by the College will be available mostly for research by the College and for state industries, William M. Breazeale, professor of electrical engineering in charge of building the reactor, has announced. Research done on the reactor will be of an unclassified nature, Breazeale explained, because the reactor will be available to many persons. Since experiments will be limited to unclassified work, experiments in several fields may not be done here, he said. As an example, Breazeale cited plutonium research which is on the classified list. The College will not be allowed to make plu tonium. Research planned for the re actor will be in four fields: gen eral neutron irradiation work, ex periments requiring beams of neu trons, production of radioisotopes, and biological damage experi ments. Gear is Bombarded Breazeale cited a gear experi ment as an example of neutron irradiation work. The object of the experiment is to determine the amount of wear on a gear operating in a certain lubricant. One of two gears is made radio active by neutron bombardment and then run in operational con ditions against a normal gear and in the lubricant to be tested. The amount of wear is determined by exposing a photographic negative with the radiation transferred to the second gear. To Make Radioisotopes . . The experiment requiring beams of neutrons that the Col lege may perform with the pro posed reactor will be the study of molecular structure using neu tron diffraction. The reactor will be able to furnish three beams of neutrons at a time. • Using the reactor, the College will be able to make radioisotopes whose half-life is too short for the material to be imported from Oak Ridge or Brookhaven. These radioisotopes are used to study the effect of radioactivity over a short period of time. A half-life is the amount of time it takes for a radioactive material to lose half its radio activity. Radioisotopes with half-lives of more than a week will probably be shipped in for research, while those with half-lives less than a week will be made here. Biological damage experiments, Robert W. Stone, professor of bac teriology, explained, will study the effects of neutron and gamma ray radiation on plants and ani mals.

An , extensive traveler through. Europe, Egypt, and the Holy Land, he also stu died at the universities of Edin ',urgh and Oxford. Serving as pastor of the First Baptist Church in Columbia, Mo. for nine . years, he also directed Baptist student work on the cam puses of the University of Mis souri, Stephens Coll eg e, and Christian College, all in Colum bia. In 1941, the Rev. Abernethy joined the staff of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America and served for two years as secretary of the Com mission on "A Just- and Durable Peace." He was named director of. the Federal Council's Commis sion on the Church and Minority Peoples in 1943. As religious commentator for the Blue Network, he covered denominational conventions and directed "The Church in Action," a series of religious broadcasts ov er NBC. Rev.
