The accelerator and th target room into which its potent beam is aimed are housed in one building of th Laboratory, research areas in the other.

Symbolic of the University's new Emperor accelerator is this welded iron sculpture in the lobby of the Laboratory. The massive steel pressure tank that houses the Emperor is 81 feet long, weighs 130 tons, is 18 feet across at its widest point. The accelerator itself is described as "the most precise, powerful, and versatile instrument yet developed for the study of nuclear structure." Initial use of the new equipment currently is being reported by UR scientists. Most of the Emperor's operations are directed through a complex control con­ sole situated in the laboratory building. The laboratory facility also houses a computer, research labs, offices, drafting room, machine shop, and service areas.

Director of the Laboratory is Harry E. Gove, professor of physics and former head of the nuclear physics branch of 12 Atomic Energy of Canada at Chalk River. His 50-man staff includes faculty members and graduate students in phys­ ics and chemistry, plus supporting tech­ nical and administrative personnel.

Enter the Emperor

Beams of charged particles produced by the Em­ peror are conveyed through an elaborate transport system to one of several areas in the target room of the accelerator building. The entire target area is shielded by a four-foot-thick concrete roofing as well as by a giant, pyramid-like mound of earth that ranges in thickness from six feet at the top to 50 feet at the base.

25 Author, Author! About ten years ago Statistics: A New Approach, a forbid­ ding-looking 635-page volume written by two University of Chicago professors, began to appear in college book­ stores and other scholarly outlets. To the surprise of its authors-one of whom was President W. Allen Wallis, then head of Chicago's statistics department-and to the delight of its publishers, it went into four printings in its first eight months. In 1962, a paperback version of the first quarter of the book appeared under the title The Nature of Statistics; its aim, in the authors' words, "to show How to Live With Statistics Without Actually Figuring." Foreign publishers started to express an interest, and translations have now appeared in German, Swedish, Portuguese (in a two-vol­ ume edition published simultaneously in Lisbon and Rio de Janeiro), and, a few months ago, Danish. With the original Statistics currently in its fifteenth printing, the book is reportedly the widest-selling college text in its field.
