FOR HANDLING RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS: This mechanical manipulator, demonstrated here by Mrs. David Weyant (left), technologist, enables researchers to handle highly-dangerous radioactive materials from outside the "caves." Mrs. Weyant demonstrates the versatility of the manipulator by picking up a book of matches, taking one match out, lighting it and then lighting a cigaret (right) for Dean Ralph A. Sawyer of the U-M Graduate School. Prof. Sawyer heads the Phoenix Project.

LABORATORY GREENHOUSE: Extending to the south of the Phoenix building is this greenhouse, in which plants will be grown and stored for research. The University, through the Phoenix Project, is pioneering in research which uses radioactive solutions to race the paths of materials absorbed in the leaves of plants. This study is of primary importance to botanists interested in plant growth.
