Pkayers Nov. 5, 9:45 p.m. Seh«db Auditorium Nov. 6, 7, 8:00 p.m. Mr. Roberts Reactor Construction Nears Completion Work on the nuclear reactor is progressing on schedule, Walter H. Wiegand, director of the physical' plant, said yes terday. Workmen are now closing in the tower section of the building with steel and the tower is expected to be completed by, the end of the month. Outside brickwork on the build ing is also nearing completion, Wiegand said. While work- on the reactor building may be complete by the end of the year, Wiegand said, more time may be necessary to install the reactor unit itself.' L-Shaped Structure The reactor, located east of the Nittany dormitory area, will be an L-shaped structure with a 62-by -34 foot main room and an ad joining wing 26-by-41 feet. The main room, of steel frame con struction, will house a pool of water 24 feet deep. The reactor unit will be suspended into the pool from a moveable bridge. The pool will serve to cool the reactor and provide a shield from radiation. The reactor must be kept under water-at all times,-as it will produce gamma rays even when it is not in operation. The unit adjoining the main room will be a two-story brick building which will house office and shop facilities. 4 Types of Work When the reactor is complete, four types of research and work in atomic engineering will be pos sible at the University. It will provide facilities for in vestigating neutron distribution, reactor kenetics, and other re lated characteristics of .the atom. The Atomic Energy Commission allocated the enriched uranium to fuel the reactor last January. It is expected that the reactor will be operated on a classified basis when it is complete. The only reactor now function ing on a college campus is the ten kilowatt “water boiler” at North Carolina State College. Players* Workshop , Players’ sound workshop will meet at 7 tonight in the Schwab Auditorium, basement.

He stated that Egypt joined, the United Nations in the be ginning to achieve their inde pendence, and now that they have it, they want to remain in it to help with world wide af fairs. Egypt is also learning to im prove her natural resources, El Haoid said, and is now try ing to develop a system of ir rigation which will be similar to the Tennessee Valley Au thority. He added that this Vrould not be enough to raise the standard of living of the people too much, so they are also trying to learn to live from the desert.
