Van de GraaffServes as ModelFor New Maech.

Construction on the 12 MEV gen-erator, which has been held up forseven months, is scheduled tobegin again this December. Twotankls which have been on orderfrom the Naval Department sincethe end of the war have at lastarrived, but construction cannotbegin until the third and most im-portant tank is delivered. Deliveryis expected towards the end of thisyear.

The two large tanks that havealready arrived are storage tanksfor gases that will be used in in-sulating the proposed generator.

r The third and largest tank (visibleE in illustration) is the one whichr houses the generator itself.

Completed In SummerIf construction begins as sched-

uled this December this twelvemillion volt power supply shouldbe ready for use in nuclear researchearly next summer. This tre-mendous source of energy, whichwill be the largest of its kind, wasoriginally designed by Dr. RobertJ. Van de Graaff, professor of Phy-sics at MIT, for whom this type ofgenerator is made.

The binding energies of all theelements in the periodic chart areestimated to lie within the energyregaon below,twelve million electro-static volts. Capacity of this latestVan de Graaff machine was de-signed with this factor in mind-to provide a power source sufficientenough to be able to successfullybombard and separate the atomsof all the known elements intotheir simpler parts.

Different PrinciplesAlthough the ultimate purpose

is thie same, the principle behindthe Van de Graaff generator is muchdifferent from that of the commonautomnobile or power plant type ofgenerator. The Van de Graaff con-sists of two main parts, a rotarybelt and a round bulb-shaped con-denser which houses charged part-icles on its inner and outer surface.

Charged negative or positive ionsare sprayed upon the belt which in

"Some veterans may find allor part of their share of theforthcoming special dividendpayment on National ServiceLife Insurance deducted tocover debts resulting from over-payments on subsistence allow-ances or other veterans' bene-fits, or from defaults on loansguaranteed by the VA," Mh.Htarbert said.

By JIM STOLLEY and

' DAVE BOSSEN

Thursday night last week, severalmen from "Fratern-ty Row" madetheir bid to fame by dragging a verywet and desperate youth out of theCharles River. .N~o information isavailable as to how he managed toget into the river but his screamsfor help roused aid from the SAEand Phi MU Delt houses. Chuck

Nolan and Ken Johnson, SAE'S,raced pajama-clad down to thebridge to throw the lad a lifepreserver and a ladder while JimCramer, Phi Mu Delt, braved theicy Charles to swim out to give help.This incident should help to proveto critical- Bostonians that Techstudents can do other things thanblow up the Harvard Stadium andborrow busses.

Two bid .parties led the gayetyparade for the past weekend. ThetaChi presented its annual HangoverParty. We gathered that the partyfulfilled its stated purpose. TheMere Goodspeed Band furnishedthe music while Tom Collins Punchfurnished the hangovers., A drunkdraped around a lightpost in theyard gave notice of the location ofthe party. Hammm, from our re-ports this was probably superfluous.Pete Conlin, serving the punch, nodoubt deserves much credit for thesuccess of the affair.

The Fleet's In!

With the front of the house deco-rated to resemble the bow of a ship,the SAE's lowered the gangplank toover 500 guests for their annualSailor Dance. From Davy Jones'Locker, lighted only by the glow ofphosphorescent painted decora-tions, to the bridge of the goodship SAE, couples were regaled bythe music of Ted Gardner and SeaBreeze Punch. Vassar girls wereheard to swear off Yale, and Prince-ton men moaned for the lost gloryof Old Nassau.

In one of the most exciting soccer games ever played onBriggs Field, a Beaver eleven tied and nearly defeated Con-necticut last Saturday afternoon. The preceding freshmangame also ended in a deadlock.

The Nutmeggers, New England champs last year, are verystrong again this season, perhaps the strongest club in theleague. However, they were not able to take the lead from the Engineersat any time in the game, and had to score a goal in the final ten secondsof play to eke out a tie. The final score was 3-3.

Six minutes after the opening ofthe second half Harry Falcao madegood a penalty kick to give the leadback to the Engineers again. An-other penalty kick later in theperiod failed to get by the Connecti-cut goalie.

At the opening of the fourthperiod Aborn, a substitute at out-side left for the Nutmeggers, lostno time in knotting the count attwo all, but at fifteen minutes of thelast period, Barcinski's goal put theEngineers in the lead again. Thisone point lead looked more andmore as though it would be themargin of victory, as the game drewto a close.

Darkness Closes in

Then, with darkness closing inand only ten seconds remaining inthe contest, Aborn came throughagain for the boys from the Nut-meg state -to tie the score oncemore. An overtime period wasstarted but darkness soon causedthe game to be- called.

The number of thrills in thistight contest was increased by manykicks which missed the goals by verynarrow margins. The only injurywhich resulted from the tense hard-fought struggle was suffered by theConnecticut goalie, but it was noth-ing serious.

Frosh Play Good BallIn what the Frosh considered a

moral victory, they tied the UConns,2-2. The young Techmen playedgood ball in what was by far theirbest game of the year. Both teamshad many shots at the net but thegoalies made many good saves tokeep the scoring down.

Many of the Tech boys hadclasses until one o'clock and did notarrive until after the game hadstarted. During these first fewminutes of confusion, Connecticutscored its two goals and was thenheld scoreless for the rest of thegame. Trailing 2-0 the youngBeavers scored in the first and thirdperiods to knot the count. Rabinsof Tech was injured and will be outfor the rest of the year.

Tomorrow afternoon both .fresh-men and varsity, bolstered by theirgood performances against Con-necticut, will tackle Brown at BriggsField. First game starts at 1:30.

Yale Sailors Wi'49 Schell RegattaEngineers Finish SixthAfter Tin.eatehing Lead

Faced with red hot but erraticcompetition, Yale's sailors took theErwin H. Schell trophy back to NewHaven Sunday night. The trophy,signifying the New England FallChampionship, was awarded to theYalemen for their victory over thetwelve competing Eastern seaboardteams. The regatta, the closing oneof the New England Sailing Asso-ciation's season, was held in theCharles Basin Saturday and Sun-day.

Surprising was the noticeablelack of consistency in 'the regatta.No performer constantly came infirst or last, but Coulson of Yale, inhis last New England regatta, washigh point man for the affair.

A tricky, shifting wind added tothie uncertainty, as the order of theteams changed almost constantly.Saturday night, after three races,

for his effort in the fame and wide-eyed comment which resulted fromhundreds 6f magazines and news-paper articles about the radical"dwelling machine." None of thecomment, however, proved to beany help in makling the house areality, so for the moment he for-got this and began work in the fieldof transportation. In 1933 he cameup with a three wheeled vehicle,which automobile manufacturersclassed as a crazy inventor's toy.Nevertheless, it was as roomy as astation wagon, rode comfortably at120 miles an hour, and averaged

better than twenty-two miles to thegallon.

From 1935 to 1938, he worked asa research engineer for PhelpsDodge, later was technical consult-ant for Fortune magazine, and after1941, he went to work for the Boardof Economic Warfare.

He saw a chance directly after theclose of the war to revive the Dy-maxion house, as it was called, andget it into production on airplaneassembly lines already in existence.A corporation was organized, stockwas sold, and Beech Aircraft pro-duced one of the unorthodox-look-ing dwellings in 1946. The newmodel was circular, contained anelevator in the mast, and had room

Brown and Yale were in the 1-Dpositions, while Tech was fourth.Halfway through Sunday's quota ofeight races, the Engineers rose towithin three points of the leader,Yale, while Brown had slipped fardown on the list.

After the final gun, however, Yalestill held the lead, with only a 20-point margin between them andsixth-place Tech, with Brown, fingsPoint, Harvard and Coast Guardbunched in between.
