Nuclear Reactor Center Plans Official Opening for Feb.1
The $500,000 Nuclear Reactor Center on Crescent Road will have its official opening Feb. 1, construction superintendent G. C. Niedert said.
The building, which will take nine months to complete, will house a nuclear reactor and laboratories for environmental health, radiation biophysics and nuclear engineering.
A three story, six-foot thick, concrete shield will be built around an aluminum tank which will encircle the reactor. The working parts of the reactor were built by Bendix Corp., and will be used for nuclear and biophysical research.
THE 17,280 SQUARE foot building is being constructed of reinforced concrete and is "built to last
Plans Started For Homecoming
Louis E. Dellwig, associate professor of geology, is general chairman for the 1960 Homecoming celebration Nov. 11-12, the weekend of the Colorado-Kansas football game.
Assisting him will be Robert W. Ridgway, professor of education, as associate chairman. Seventy-two staff members and students will serve on 11 additional committees.
Mr. Dellwil urged each committee to consider all possible innovations short of breaking the traditional pattern already adopted for this year, and appointed a 1961 planning committee that could begin work now on any major changes proposed.
Dale Scannell, assistant professor of education, is chairman of the 1961 planning committee.
The 1960 Homecoming program calls for a Friday evening varsity freshman basketball game, followed by the musical. "Most Happy Fella," and a Homecoming dance Saturday evening.
It is anticipated that most organized houses will prepare decorations and hold open house for alumni.

Across the center will be written "Nuclear Reactor Center." Across the northern, shorter structure will be written "Nuclear Engineering," "Radiation Biophysics," and "Environmental Health."
A west parking lot will be provided for the faculty.
THE EAST AND MAIN entrance to the building will have plaques listing the G.L. Burt Laboratory for Environmental Health, Isaac Scammahor Laboratory for Radiation Physics, and Laboratory for Nuclear Engineering.

A steam tunnel is also being built to serve both the reactor center and the proposed engineering building which will be built above and to the east of the center.
Judy Jamison Is Queen Candidate
Judith Rae Jamison, Ottawa sophomore, is a candidate for the 1960 American Royal Queen. The Lawrence Junior Chamber of Commerce is her sponsor.
Activities for the candidacy begin Thursday. Jane Powell, motion picture and television star, will headline the Coronation in the Municipal Auditorium Saturday.
The KU-Y supported the work of the CRC while it petitioned supporting the sit-ins, said Jim McMullan.
The Civil Rights Council (CRC) is the same group that actively supported the sit-ins that were taking place last year in the South. The CRC solicited the support of students by asking them to sign petitions and by sending the petitions to the NAACP, southern colleges and other organizations.
Jim McMullan, Long Beach, N.Y. senior and member of the group said that the council will find out who is practicing discrimination and inform those individuals or groups of the state laws prohibiting it. The council will also attempt to educate people through films and lectures.
The KU QUARTERBACK CLUB
SUPT. NEIDERT, who represents the Caro Construction Co. of Wichita, said this was his second job with a university and his first in Lawrence. He worked on the Fort Hays State College women's dormitory.
The Civil Rights Council, a student group opposed to discrimination on campus and in Lawrence, will meet at 8:30 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union to discuss plans for an anti-discrimination campaign.
Students interested in working with the CRC are invited to attend the meeting.
CRC to Meet Tomorrow
This meeting will be the beginning of a new movement on campus. It is being held so that students who are interested in opposing discrimination will have an organization through which to work.

BLUE CROSS - BLUE SHIELD ENROLLMENT CLOSES OCTOBER 5!
The University of Kansas, along with universities and colleges across the country, begins nominations this week for 1961-62 Woodrow Wilson National Fellowships. KU, with 13 Woodrow Wilson fellows for 1960-61, was third in the nation for publicly supported schools. It was exceeded by the University of California at Berkeley and the University of Michigan, both with enrollments greater than KU's.
1961-62 Fellows Being Selected
In 1959-60, KU was tied for fourth among all state institutions in the U.S.
Each of the 1,000 students who are finally chosen receives a $1,500 stipend for living expenses plus full tuition and family allowances.
The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation estimates more than 9,000 students will be nominated by faculties of their schools by the closing date of October 13. Every candidate for the award must be nominated by a faculty member.
Designed to reduce a nationwide shortage of qualified college teachers, the Woodrow Wilson program annually awards the fellowships for first-year graduate study at any university of the recipient's choice in the United States or Canada. More than 75 per cent of all fellows eventually end up in academic positions.
