Budget panel eyes reform of Eldora and Toledo juvenile facilities
Eldora houses 240 youths though 200 capacity is set, while Toledo holds 109 above its 90 limit. The budget bill adds 150000 for staff and directs reviews to determine proper placements, with a plan for a new unit to assess all juveniles and possible capital improvements.

Proton Collisions Facilitate High-Energy Physics Setup
Hydrogen atoms are ionized and injected into a LINAC to accelerate them. Ions enter boosters that remove electrons to yield protons, which are further accelerated. In a main ring thousands of 50-foot magnets steer two proton streams traveling near light speed. Collision halls focus the beams for head-on collisions.
Building blocks of matter and SSC scale shown
The article describes the SSC planned as two 53 mile superconducting magnet rings guiding protons at near light speed to collide at 40 TeV. New subatomic particles would be detected to probe matter’s ultimate structure. Nicholson notes nature’s simplicity beneath complexity with the Table of Elements.

Foreign funding eyed for 4.4 billion Super Collider
Energy Secretary John Herrington told a House subcommittee that 40 to 50 percent of the Superconducting Super Collider funding could come from international sources. He cited talks with Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, France, Italy and Canada and warned of a brain drain if the United States does not pursue the project. Critics fear the 1989 Reagan proposal of 363 million dollars for construction diverts funds from other research.

Illinois bets on SSC site to reshape Midwest science corridor
Illinois committed hundreds of millions for site studies infrastructure and land, courting the SSC as a crown jewel of the Illinois Research and Development Corridor. Fermilab would feed the Tevatron beams, reducing costs, while Iowa could win bids. The project would span seven years with a 6000 construction workforce and 2000 scientists plus 3000 more staff.

Fermilab tour offers public access amid Super Collider plans
The Fermilab facility in Batavia Illinois invites the public to self guided tours daily from 830 am to 5 pm starting at Wilson Hall. Reserved guided tours run at 930 am and 1 pm for groups of 10 to 40 with no charge. Weekend physics classes for high school students are available with details via 312 840 3000.
