UNIVERSITY'S NORTH CAMPUS: Construction progress on two buildings on the University's North Campus is shown in this air view looking at the new campus from the south. In the foreground the $450,000 Central Service and Stack building nears completion. The $1,00,000 Phoenix Memorial Laboratory, near the center, is well under way. To the right of the laboratory is the completed Mortimer E. Cooley Memorial Laboratory. Three new projects slated for the North Campus later this year and in 1955 are a $1,000,000 nuclear reactor, a $1,850,000 Automotive Laboratory and a housing project for married students.

INSTALL ATOM SMASHER: Workers today lowered the 310-ton atom smasher core of the University's new $1,800,000, 40-million-electron-volt cyclotron into position in the partially completed $1,100,000 U-M Cyclotron Building on North Campus. Work on the cyclotron and building is being done by the Henry W. deKoning Construction Co. of Ann Arbor. When completed in 1963, it will be used for research on the nuclei of the heavier atomic elements.

Gas Ionized A blinding flash turns the transparent ports white (right) as Thomas A. Leonard of Ann Arbor, a U-M doctoral candidate, presses button to vaporize a lithium wire. The resulting gas is ionized by an electrical discharge to generate a hot, high-density plasma. Scattered laser light is measured to provide information about plasma temperature and density. Leonard carries out his experiment in the Fluids Engineering building on North Campus.
