Lab Produces 'Liquid Gas'
By KAY MILLS
The throbbing “campus
heartbeat" heard en route to
Pattee Library is, in reality,
sound from the liquid nitrogen
plant of the low temperature
laboratory.
Hardly a pulsating fantasy from
Edgar Allan Poe’s writings, the
maze of cylinders, condensers,
cooling units and glass tubing in
the Pond Laboratory plant pro
duces liquid nitrogen, hydrogen,
helium and oxygen for use in the
cryogenics lab and elsewhere on
campus.
Cryogenics, the study of re
frigeration, involves producing
low temperatures to decrease the
speed of complex molecules to
study their components, Dr. John
G. Aston, lab director and profes
sor of organic chemistry, said re
cently.

ton said. "This concept may be
hard to imagine without the
use of this rough comparison:
"If you had some rapidly mov
iing flywheels, they would have
much stored energy because they
were moving rapidly. Slow mov
ing ones, in contrast, would have
high moments of inertia.
“Placing these flywheels in a
syrupy material would cause the
irapidly moving flywheel to lose
!all its energy. The slower one
|would continue to rotate, hardly

i said.
The liquid gases produced byi
the cryogenics lab are also used'
in other University projects. For;
example. Dr. Erwin W. Mueller,;
research professor of physics, uses!
liquid hydrogen to cool his ion;

Asked what is the lowest pos
sible temperature that could be
produced here. Aston replied
that there is no logical compari*
! son between the temperature
; scale used in this work and
| the layman's practical scale.
I “This scale is highly egotistical,"
ihe said, explaining that when first
! formulated, it ran from 100 de
grees, or near man’s body tem
perature, to 0 degrees, which was
then considered the lowest man
could produce.
"Being aware of this," he
said, "one could possibly say
that the lab is equipped to con
duct experiments from ordinary
temperatures to .00001 degrees
Kelvin (within less than one
degree of absolute zero).
“Cryogenics is a new thing in in
dustry.” Aston said. ‘‘Liquid hydro
gen and oxygen are used as rock
et fuels; liquid helium and hydro
gen are used in making computers
and communications devices. In
! short, cryogenics is becoming an
[important branch of engineering.”

The Penn State Jazz Club is not a money-making organi

“We only break even on the big concerts,” Pollen said,
“for we keep the prices as low as possible."
He cited as an example the October Dave Brubeck-
Stan Kenton concert in Roc Hall.’
The Brubeck and Kenton bands'jazz albums at the local record
