U.S. Ahead of Reds In Atom Smashing
Because of the method of magnetic acceleration used, the $36 million Brookhaven machine is called an alternating gradient synchrotron (AGS). It started up last July 29 but has been performing experiments in nuclear physics for only the past four to six weeks.
Dr. G. K. Green, operator of the huge particle accelerator at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, N.Y., described his machine at the spring meeting of the American Physical Society yesterday.
AGS reaches energies up to 33 billion electron volts (BEV). Russia's biggest smasher, which was the world's most powerful when it went to work in 1957, has a peak energy of 10 BEV.
WASHINGTON—(UPI) —America's biggest atom smasher, the most powerful in the world, can carry out tasks in a week which would take Russia's largest smasher a couple of years.
Operating at the Soviet machine's energy level of 10 BEV, the AGS can fire a beam 10 times as intense as the Russian and fire it 10 times as often. Because of this more intense beam and rapid rate of fire, the Brookhaven accelerator can be expected to discover far more facts about the forces and particles inside the little understood heart of matter, Green said.
But its higher energy is not the only reason the American machine is superior to the Russian, Green said. It can hurl a much intenser beam of nuclear projectiles at a target.
Dean Smith Hopes Students Will Consider Summer School
Dean Smith said that colleges and universities all over the country are rearranging their calendar to allow maximum use of facilities and provide an accelerated program for students who want to complete college in less than four years.
George B. Smith, dean of the University said recently that he hopes every student will at least consider the possibility of shortening his regular four year college program by attending summer school.
The summer session schedule is available at the registrar's office.
"THE ADMINISTRATION hopes that all students will check with their regular adviser some time before the end of this semester to discuss attending the coming summer session," Dean Smith said.
The summer session runs for eight weeks, or one-half the length of the regular semester. Up to eight hours of credit can be taken without special permission.
DEAN SMITH SAID that this year students wishing to sign up for the English Proficiency Examination, June 17, may do so during enrollment for the summer session June 9 and 10.
Dean Smith said that there have been changes in the summer session schedule since the summer session bulletin was published.

Business Conference on Research Tomorrow in Union
A business conference on "Research—a Key to Industrial Development" will be tomorrow in the Kansas Union.
It will be sponsored by the School of Business, the School of Engineering and Architecture and the University Extension.
He said one of the best ways to develop this industry is to have rigorous research in this division.
"The conference is primarily for business men and government leaders in the region." said James Surface, dean of the School of Business. The idea behind the conference is to develop the industrial sectors in this area."
The day's activities will begin at 9 a.m. with registration in the lobby of the Student Union.
Among the speakers will be Mr. Frank Lombard, president of the Kansas State Chamber of Commerce; Mr. Richard H. Bolt, associate director of research, National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C., and Nat C. Robertson, vice president, research and development, Spencer Chemical Co.
The program will conclude with a panel discussion on "Inventory of Research Resources in Our Area."
Hunter to Discuss Artist's Role in Society
James M. Hunter, second vice president of the American Institute of Architects, will present a University Lecture at 3 p.m. today in Strong Auditorium.
Mr. Hunter will speak on the "Position of the Professional Artist in Today's Society."
