Wave research lab teaches students about waves Mow are waves made? Where do they come from? Mow do they get to be so big in some parts of the world and not others? These were just some of the questions being asked at the Open Mouse of the OSU Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory, on July 20. Located on 53rd and Jefferson, the wave research laboratory was a secret to many people. It had been built since the beginning of the 1990 school year but was being tested until the big open house in the summer. The facility housed over four different wave machines, each with a different function, but all with the same goal - to make waves. On the right hand side of the building was a long vertical wall. Over the wall was an abundance of water that rolled down the corridor making a wave that eventually broke at the sand, often splashing spectators. In the center of the building was a round area that was roped off. In the middle of the circle was a machine that showed the wave-making process, complete with sand and rocks, representing the shore. Many areas were complete with other kinds of wave machines, each unique. The OSU Hinsdale Wave Research Laboratory gave students a taste of something that was a little hard to grasp in a text book - on hands experience in a world of mystery and intrigue. 22 Wave Research Open House
