Number 34 Astronomers Triple Bounce Radar Pulse Off Moon K (Continued from Page 1) i signal down on the dish the radar beam is focused on a target overhead. For tlie triple bounce experiment, the Arecibo radar beam, at its peak power of 2.5 watts and a frequency of 430 megahertz, was first bounced off the surface of the moon back to the earths surface, where it bounced back to the moon for a final bounce back to the antenna. Since the moons reflectivity is well known, Professor Pettengill could account for the effect of the two lunar bounces on the radar echo. The remaining effects could be attributed to the reflection from earth. China Sextuples Radioactive Debris in the Atmosphere Chinas nuclear detonations have sextupled the stratospheric levels of undesirable strontium 90 and cesium 137, the American Chemical Society claims. The highest level of ratdioactivity in ground air ever recorded at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville appeared after Chinas January 7, 1972 explosion of a uranium 235 device in the troposphere. The air in Fayetteville has been monitored for radioactivity since the early 1960s. Three atmospheric nuclear explosions have been conducted since last November. Fissionable material in the latest device appears to be plutonium 239. This contrasts with Chinas former exclusive use of fissionable uranium. The mass yield distribution of fission products from nuclear testing may be used to determine the material used in the nuclear device and the nature of the test environment, he said. On November 18, 1971 China detonated her twelfth nuclear device and a mass yield spectrum of the fission products was measured in a rain which fell on November 28. The resulting mass yield distribution indicated that this device may have been a high altitude test resulting in a small trophspheric injection. After an unusually short period of only . 90 days, China detonated her 13th device on Jan. 7, 1972. The mass yield data indicated a small degree of debris fractionation with U235 being used as the fissile material. It has recently been found that radioactive hot particles produced by Chinas 13th nuclear weapons test were injected primarily into the troposphere and circled the earth at least two times before becoming completely scavenged. The first arrival of debris from China resulted in the highest concentration of hot particles ever seen since early 19G0s in the ground level at Fayetteville. In contrast, Chinas 14tli (March 18) nuclear test injected the bulk of itse debris into the stratosphere and resulted in a rather heavy delayed fallout. Fallout was observed in rain and air at Fayette-vill- e only five days later and is still being observed. The mass yield spectrum obtained in a rain on March 4 appeared to fit the mass yield distribution for lu239 better than U235. The activities present in freshly injected hot particles should be unaltered by older debris. Therefore, radiochemical analysis of a giant hot particle (34 microm diameter) at Fayetteville was performed to confirm the type of fissionable material used. The data appeared to fit the Pu239 mass yield distributoin curve even lietter than the data for rain samples. " The Utah Symphony Registration Dates Plays 2,000th Concert Set at Utah Tech The Utah Symphony reaches a significant milestone its 2000th concert Friday, December 8, at 8:00 p.m. in the Salt Lake Tabernacle. The program for this historic occasion will include a work from the 18th century alongside an all time favorite of the turn of the century and a masterpiece of our time. Featured work will be Ernest Blochs Sacred Service, which will receive its first Utah performance at the Friday concert. Assisting Maurice Abravanel and the orchestra will be the Utah Chorale, baritone soloist Don Watts and Babbi Abner Bergman. Highlighting the first half of the program will be a performance of Richard Strauss magnificent tone poem, Death and Transfiguration, which Maestro Abravanel considers - Strauss most mellow and spiritual work; The opening number will be Johann Sebastian Bachs Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 While many composers have made elaborate 'musical settings of the Roman Catholic Mass and other litiurgical works, Blocks piece is believed to be the first such work on the Jewish religious service. The first performance took place in a Roman Catholic church in Italy. It has been presenetd 168 times in this country since its 1933 writing. It is the sacred work of the Maestro Abravanel century, he adds that it has and claims, had more performances across the country than any other similar work written in this century. The composition at the request of the members of the Utah Chorale, will be sung in the original Hebrew. Rabbi Bergman will deliever the message that is integrated with the music, while Mr. Watts, members of the San Diego Opera Company and a former Utahn, will sing certain sections. Mr. Bloch while giving a series of lectures at the McCune School of Music in Salt Lake in 1949, played the Sacred Service for Maestro Abravanel, but the Maestro waited until now to include the contemporary work in the season even though he received numerous requests from the Utah Chorale and the University of Utah Music Department. The 2,000th concert is a long way from the orchestras beginning May 8, 1940. That season the group of 51 musicians presented five concerts. Now, the Utah Symphony with its 85 members, gives 170 concerts a season, has made international tour to Europe and South America. covers the Intermountain area through annual tours, and has made over 75 recordings. Weve come a long way, Mr. Abravanel said. He molded the New student registration for full time day and extended day programs at Utah Technical College at Salt Lake is Monday, Dec. 18, in the colleges main campus Administration building, 4600 So. Redwood Road. First quarter courses with openings for new students are accountin, architectural drafting clerk typist, commercial art, drafting and design technology, electricity, electronics, general education, machine shop, market nurse aid, printing and steno I. Some possible openings are seen in auto body repair and paint, auto mechanics, barbering, cosmetology and heavy duty mechanics. Continuing student registration will be held two weeks earlier. Monday through Thursday, Dec. Registration for extended day programs in drafting and design, electricity and electronics, will be held on these days, but from 1:30 to 8 p.m. An open registration period An open registration period for all classes will be held Dec. 2 Utah and Dec. on starts Techs winter quarter Monday, Jan. 2, 1973. College registrar Ralph O. Boren reminds prospective students that classes are offered on a first come first served basis, and that many of the courses are taken quickly. Also, a $5 late registration fee will be charged students who register or pay tuition and fees after Dec. 29. Tuition and fees at Utah Tech are $100 a quarter for 12 credit hours or more in fulltime day programs. Winter quarter classwork for night and day students starts on Monday, Jan. 2, 1973. 4-- 7. 19-2- 27-2- 9. A th-e- EASED GRHPEVIIKE v f Salt Lake City Police Chief J. Earl Jones made recommen- dation to the Salt Lake Commission for the approval of three federal grants to be approved. The grants to the federal government are through the Law Enforcement Planning Agency. The three proposed programs which cast $332,814, include the narcotics investigation unit, implemented by the police special investigations division, civilian involvement with crime prevention through the civilian components section and educational incentive plan for a third year through personnel and training. The assistant regional commissioner of the U. S. Bureau of Customs said that the new Salt Lake City facility at the International airport as one of the tops anywhere. The directors of the facility said that many are larger but none better equipped. The new facility was dedi-caethis week and the cost of the new facility was around td $126,000.
