By JOYCE HOPKINS Education Writer Over 200 physicists are gathering at North Texas State University to look at an apparatus once confined to the research laboratory. The Third Conference on Application of Small Accelerators — coordinated by NTSU’s School for Community Service and sponsored by the US. Atomic Energy Commission, National Bureau of struck, emits a particular way, depending on the properties of the element being struck. It is through this that both pollution detection and mineral prospecting by air is possible. As a plane flies several hundred feet over the same 100,000 square miles surveyed at a time, Rhodes said, the dust particles in the air are scooped up for analysis, using a nuclear physics technique. From these, the Columbia scientists can detect the composition of the earth below the plane and, therefore, the minerals underground. _And in eee detection, his contes t car. contribuut alain man a said. “can Gatel platation.

U.S. Astronaut Bruce McCandless II, who was on board the Apollo 14 Skylab Mission, will speak and show films from NASA space projects at 8:30 p.m. Monday in the NTSU Main Auditorium. The talk, which will be on a largely non technical basis and aimed at the general public, will be illustrated by films not available Dr. Jerome Duggan of the NTSU Physics Department and Dr. I. L. Morgan of Columbia Scientific Industries, are conference chairmen. Dr. E. T. 8. Walton, a Nobel prize winner in physics, who is called the father of the small ac celerator for nuclear research, will give a run down on the early history of accelerators during the opening session Monday.
