Although it seems a contradiction in terms, Marni is bestknown for her work as aghost-voice. Among other roles,Marni has sung for Deborah Kerrin The King and I and An Affairto Remember, Natalie Wood inWest ,Side Story and AudreyHepburn in My Fair Lady. Thisis, however, only one facet ofher work.
Born in Altadena, Marni appeared in several productionswith the Pasadena Playhouse.Since then, she has studied withsuch notables as Dr. Carl Ebert(Stadische Opera in Berlin), sungat the Tanglewood SummerFestival, and performed with theSeattle Opera Association since1972 doing Musetta in LaBoheme, Perichole in Perichole,and Violetta in La Traviata.

I disagree with several pointsin Jim Hugg's letter to the Tech(5/3/74). First, he claims that Mr.Peisner presents "strong personalattacks on performers." Mr.Peisner's comments do not display malice or vindictiveness,which is what a strong personalattack involves. He is simplystating his views of the adequacyof the performers. A good manyof the actors/actresses in the playwere competent at one part oftheir role and not at another-i.e.able to act but not to dance,able to sing but not to act, andso forth. He often praises anindividual for one part of hisperformance while pointing outhis inadequacies in another.Specific examples are JeffEriksen, who is praised for hisacting, and Olivia Hugg, who is

Pathe CartoonDeemed "Offensive"
I must take exception toseveral things which appeared inlast week's Tech, and I stronglyhope that I am not alone in mysentiments. First of all, Mr.Pathe's cartoon was particularlyoffensive, especially to those ofus who have worked hard forCaltech degrees. True to hisname, he must cut a particularlypathetic figure to have been sobadly treated at the hands of theTech "system" as to lash out atthe very value of Caltech as aninstitution of learning and research. I resent the implicationthat my degree from this place isworthless except as a means towipe up that so-very-availablecommodity that I have spentyears shoveling in order to obtainthat degree. Apparently, Mr.Pathe has become so buried thathe has lost the insight andinspiration so characteristic of hisearlier cartoons and has resortedto misdirected deleted expletives.I hope that in the future he willcarry out his criticisms in a moreerudite and purposeful manner.
My second "beef' concernsJim Hugg's reply to Dave Peisner's review. Don't get mewrong; I saw the play, enjoyedit, and commend everybody forthe effort put into it and theresults they obtained. It wasnoted that the majority of thoseinvolved will be around nextyear, and it is for this veryreason that both the critics andthe performers must bedefended-so that people willnot, as Mr. Hugg nearly threatened, avoid involvement in themusical for fear of bad reviews inthe Tech-or anywhere else, forthat matter. I will not pretend toknow anything regarding Mr.Peisner's acquaintance with Ms.Hugg's health at the time of thereview, nor will I defend Peisner's choice of words used inmaking his criticisms. I do,however, agree with a largemajority of his criticisms of Kiss

Peisner RebutsHugg Letter
THE CALTECH FORUM IAn open letter to Jim Hugg:
I was mildly disturbed byyour letter of May 3. Itcontained statements which weresimply not true.
You inferred that no reviewof Caltech productions should bebad. But this defeats the verypurpose of a review. My articlewas a review of Kiss Me Kate. Iwrote my story based entirelyupon what I saw on stage. I didnot consider offstage activities. Idid not consider personal problems.
Why write a review? As partof The California Tech staff, Itry to gather pertinent news forthe CaItech community. Reviewsare pertinent! Just as faculty andstudents constantly review themselves in the academic world, Iand others on the staff reviewcommunity activities.
Criticism is not always good.But one does not drop all hisactivities because someone didnot like him. He is more likelyto try to improve as a result ofthe review. I seriously doubt myone article will have any effecton next year's musical, and I alsodoubt it will affect people's lives,especially considering regular Caltech pressures they endure everyday.
Your letter suggested myreview was entirely negative butit was not. I enjoyed theproduction and my review reflected that opinion. It wascomplimentary to all but a fewpeople who, in my opinion, didnot perform quite as well as theothers. (As long as I am writingthis letter, let me correct anerror I made. The gangsters didnot do their own choreography.Jinkle Seagrave deserves creditfor their dancing in "Brush UpYour Shakespeare".)
You complained of my 'attack' on your wife. But why callit an attack? I enjoyed hersinging but not her dancing. Thisis not an attack because I merely

The editors would like to thank the several people whomade this special Women's Issue possible. To Greg Simaygoes credit for providing the initial suggestion and theimpetus for the project. To Flora Constanten and MaryBeth Ogilvie go a deserving and lasting thanks for takingthe time to edit and confound. And leave us not forget theEditors-in-Chief (that's us) who gave the go-ahead for thehappening.
In this issue, The Tech is presenting the stories of a fewof the fascinating women on campus. The choice of thesepeople was somewhat haphazard. Many people consented toan interview on zero notice. Please note this: some womenwere excluded deliberately because it was felt that theywere already well known on campus.
Take a look. Pages six and seven provide a fascinatinglook at the "inferior" sex.

Editorial
by Dennis MalloneeWhen the ASCIT by-laws were
amended last November, theclause pertaining to The Big Tbusiness manager's salary wasmodified. This was done becauseit was thought that the (thencurrent) graduated advertisingsales commission was too low,and because The Big T had rarelymade any profit.
Although the 5% increase inthe commission rate boosted theincentive to get advertisers, thedeletion of the excess profitsclause eliminated the businessmanager's incentive to savemoney in other important areas,such as in the costs of printing.
Proponents of this measurefeel that, if passed, it willprovide the proper incentive tosave money in all areas of

by Chris HarcourtA great deal has been written
about the production of Hamletwhich just closed at the MarkTaper Forum. Most writing waslargely concerned with the somewhat uneven quality of theproduction. However, it seems tome that one glaring fact in theproduction has been overlooked.
This fact becomes apparent inthe consideration of the majorroles, which we will now do.Stacy Keach as Hamlet wassporadic, but there was a patternto his quality. It was simply thatwhile Hamlet's sanity was mediocre; his insanity was brilliant.This is the dominant patternthroughout the show.
Ophelia acted well throughou tthe show, but she shone in hermad scenes. Perhaps the strongestperformance in the show wasgiven by Polonius, who was inthe terminal stages of senility.This is not strictly insane, but itis no longer sane, either. Claudiuswas remarkably colourless untilhe developed paranoid characteristics in the last act, when hecame to life. Gertrude retainedher sanity, but she never reallycame into the colour of her role.
The overall observation to bemade is that considering theproduction as a whole, insanitywas played in a quality vastlysuperior to the sanity. This seems

Troupe, a group of zany actors,invaded Tech last week topresent San Fran Scandals. Theirsimplistic manner of acting coupled with an ingenious presentation resulted in a show thatentertained all who saw it.
Fifteen members of thetroupe, including six band members and nine actors, began theshow at noon on Friday with amarch around campus. When thedust had settled, they warmed upthe audience with juggling andtap dance acts.
Then the scandal began. Itseems that Frank Burns andStella Barnes, aging vaudevillestars, were being evicted fromtheir home so Harold P. Smellybucks, millionaire patron of thearts, could build a new culturalcenter on the site. Barnes andBurns (Burns and Barnes) couldnot make a comeback with theiract because they had 'misplaced'the star of their act. Theydecided to visit Mr. Smellybucksto protest their eviction anddiscovered that his secretary wastheir missing star, Baby Tap·Toes.

Migraine headaches are oftenbecause of tensions and canlikewise be cured and removedpermanently.
Dr. Leeb is confident thatbio-feedback machines such as heuses will someday be common.He noted that even the AMA hasrecognized the potential moneymarket in the field; the powerfulmedical/drug lobby is trying topass laws against brain-rhythmtreatment without a doctor'sprescription and the aid of aphysician-psychiatrist. If passedthis would mean doctors wouldhave yet another fold to theirpocketbooks.
Incidentally, for those whothink nothing can be better thanthe high they're getting now, Dr.Leeb reported that an informalstudy of his showed that grassactually makes the h~nds growcolder, and said he hasn'ttouched the stuff since helearned the effect of biofeedback therapy.

is, does not distinguish betweenour instinctive fear for safety andmere psychological fear andworry. The body reacts verymuch the same in both instances,but in the latter to little purpose.When life is threatened the brainreceives more than normalamounts of blood, owing to theoutpour of blood from theextremities. This is quite a usefulthing since it acts to reducebleeding in case of physicalinjury. When mentally distressed,however, such blood pumpingwill only aggravate the problemby introducing unreasoning fearand perhaps a strong headache.
In teaching his patients Dr.Leeb makes them relax and learnto be comfortable by blood flowcontrol. In learning this andpracticing often, he said, personscan acquire the ability to automatically switch into this"relaxed-mode." Many personsunconsciously possess this ability.

The Social Committee Reportannounced the latest ASCIT
The format at the Ice Housewas a little different last week.Instead of the usual two lead-inacts, the tim'e was split aboutequally between the Roto RooterGood Time Christmas Band andthe feature act, Randy Boone.Unfortunately, it seemed that thefeature act was not as good asthe lead-in.
Randy Boone has been awayfrom a night club small actsituation for several years now,and his act showed it. Moviesand television are too structuredand controlled to allow one toretain stage presence, and severaltimes Boone seemed lost onstage. He played the guitar andsang well, on songs such as"Lonesome Me", "Whiskey, BeMy Woman", and "TennesseeStud", keeping sort of a countrycowboy motif. Quite a few of hissongs were humorous, includingthe Roy Clark version of "TheGreen, Green Grass of Home",but the effect was lost as hestumbled through some of thesongs and had a generallydisjointed patter.
Roto Rooter was a totallydifferent matter. I have neverseen another group which evenvaguely resembles their style. Theact uses primarily lower brassand saxes of several sorts, butthey demonstrated a proficiencywith guitars, also. One of thethings which makes them uniqueis that they have two sexsymbols instead of the usual oneper band. And one of the sexsymbols wears sort of a low cutblack tank top and black pants,with a red sequined jock strapover it. As I said, the group isunique.
The group's repertoire isvaried, containing Beer BarrelPolka, Flight of the Bumblebee,Pico and Sepulveda, BrahmsHungarian Dance number 5, along review of the Wizard of Oz,Purple Haze, and a superbly poorrendition of Stars and StripesForever, reminiscent of my high

Possibly they couldnot judge the effect of femalefaculty because they rarely meetany.
In conclusion, it appears thatwomen at Caltech are, at leastsubconsciously, underratingthemselves (and possib~y otherwomen as well). There is no basisfor this.

Reasons for wanting to reproduce are love of children (94%M,96%F) and suitability for parenthood (66%M, 66%F).
Reasons for not wanting children differed considerably between the sexes. The main reasonfor men was the populationexplosion (73%M), while themain reasons for women werethat I) it would take too muchtime from their careers (89%F,48%M) and 2) they were unsuited for parenthood (74%F,54%M).
In conclusion, there is atendency for the women to beless certain than men of marrying, and a strong inclination forthem to put their careers beforechildren.
Professional FutureRespondents were asked to
speculate on their futures in 5and 15 years, first ideally(considered ambition), and thenrealistically (expectation). Replieswere ranked on a scale from 1 to5, where 5 indicated a specific

In response to the questionson isolation, 80% of both sexes"never" or "rarely" feel isolatedfrom male fellow students, whileover half the women (54%) feelisolated from other women.(Almost half the men (49%) feelisolated from women also). 79%of the women and 64% of themen feel isolated from the world.
It appears that women areunder somewhat greater socialpressure than men, because ofthe male/female ratio.
Future Personal LifeApproximately 70% of each
sex think they will marry(71%M, 68%F); but slightly morewomen aren't sure (30%F,19%M). Fewer than half say theywill have children (46%M,43%F), while almost a quartersay they won't (23%M, 24%F).

are more women in biology thanin the "harder" options likephysics and math. It is true that40% of the women transferred tobiology (presumably from the"harder" options); 40% of themen also transferred to biology.It is possible that this influx intobiology by both sexes is due tothe many exciting developmentsnow occurring in that field, anddoes not reflect any real difference in difficulty.
It seems there is a myth,believed and perpetuated by bothsexes, that women are academically inferior.
The Social SituationThere were many, many com
ments about the male/femaleratio, indicating that it is a majorsource of social and emotionaldifficulties.
Myths on Campus
Coalition Releases Survey ResultsThe Caltech Women's Coali
tion had basically two reasonsfor doing a survey of women oncampus. First, it was veryapparent that there werecomplaints-from all sections ofthe community, including students, staff, and faculty. Second,the Coalition was approached bythe Personnel Office for information to be used in anAffinnative Action seminar. Itwas decided that the best way todetermine the academic andsocial situation of women atCaltech was through a questionnaire. So three CWC membersCatherine Cesarsky, LeslieHodges, and Anneila Sargent-gottogether, did a lot of reading,met with a group of womenstudents to discuss various questions, and finally wrote thequestionnaire.
Funds for the project camefrom Dr. Lyman Bonner, whoprovided the money for everything from duplicating the questionnaires to keypunching thedata. Dr. Robert Christy kindlyprovided financial aid for computing. Help and advice throughout the project came from Dr.Nancy Beakel, who is nowwriting up the results. Questionnaires were sent to approximately 150 women graduate andundergraduate students, and tothe same number of men,matched by year of study andmajor wherever possible. Returnswere just over 50%.
The Academic SituationThe myth of lower admission
standards for women continues,as 50% of both males andfemales think it's an advantage tobe female in being admitted toCaltech. This has been deniedrepeatedly by the administrationand by the academic records ofwomen who are here, yet itpersists. Most will agree, however, that being female is no helpin passing courses (80%M, 88%F)or in being accepted by one'schoice of research professor(71%M,83%F).
Two-thirds of the women andhalf of the men think it makesno difference to be one of fewof one's sex in a class. Interestingly enough, 16% of the mensaid they would be uncomfortable, compared with only 4% ofthe women.
When it comes to askingquestions, the sex of the lectureris unimportant, but more womenthan men never ask questionsduring a lecture (38% to 27%),or immediately afterwards (47%to 28%). 93% of the· men and95% of the women said they askquestions of the professor orT.A. in private. A distinct lack ofconfidence on the part of thewomen was demonstrated by thelarge numbers whose reasons fornot asking questions were beingtotally lost (62%) or afraid ofappearing stupid (57%) [Maleresponse to these were 36% and39%]. Other reasons were understanding everything (36%M,27%F), or preferring to find theanswer oneself (67%M, 54%F). Itwas suggested frequently in comments that women are inferioracademically; for example, there

Irene GoddardNearly hidden on the third
floor of Baxter is the littleknown library of the populationprogram, which contains what isprobably the most thoroughcollection on campus of booksand reprints relating to women.Much of the credit for this greatcollection goes to the librarian ofthe program, Irene Goddard-awoman of many interests andabilities. .
Born and raised in Europe,she studied physics andmath there, then switched tochemistry for her major at theUniversity of California. Afterworking as a geochemist duringthe International GeophysicalYear, she became interested inastronomy. At that time, she wasalso working at Tech translatingFrench, German, and Russianarticles; and the translation of aRussian book called Principles ofMeteorites had given her a solidbackground in the field. Shesubsequently got a job with Dr.Harrison Brown studying meteorites and also co-authored severalarticles on asteroids. The statistics involved in computing as-

The next project she plansis on the work of 19th centuryphotographers in the West, supported by a grant from theNational Endowment for theArts for the bicentennial collection. Karen also is a photographer; she works to supportthe two of them in betweengrants, but would like to devoteherself full-time to photography.
Karen hasn't had much timeto devote to the Women'sCoalition, but she feels "reallystrongly abou tit."
"It's performing a vital function for the women at Caltech.Even for women like me whohaven't gone much, it hasprovided a lot of support justknowing there are people whofeel the same way you do. It canhelp you carve out your ownrole in a marriage, develop yourown creative thoughts aboutwhat you want "to be as awoman."

If you have any commentsabout the libraries here atCaltech, go to the second floorof Millikan and talk to JohannaE. Tallman, Director of Libraries.Mrs. Tallman came to Tech inAugust, 1973, after 28 years atUCLA, where she was thecoordinator of all their physicalscience libraries.
Mrs. Tallman has an excellentbackground in librarianship; shehas been a Fullbright lecturer inBrazil, speaking on scientificdocumentation. She lectured inthe School of Library Science atUCLA on the literature ofengineering and science (yes,Virginia, there is such a thing)and was the chairman of theScience and Technology divisionof the Special Libraries Association in 1970.
She says that the faculty hereis very much involved in theselection of materials for thelibrary, and so it very stronglyreflects their interests. Mrs. Tallman also has several ideas forspecial uses of the library. Shewould be interested in giving aseminar on utilization of materials (please get in touch with heron ext. 2416 if you areinterested).
Mrs. Tallman believes that aprofessional person should beevaluated on the basis of theirknowledge and experience,regardless of their sex. Sheprefers an emphasis on women asscientists or librarians or whatever, not on women as women.
Mrs. Tallman is a confidentprofessional woman, who doe~not seem to feel the need to bean activist, but is supportive ofothers who do.
"I have loved Caltech-al1 thehard times, all the good timesand all this nonsense about howhard it is to be a woman hereshouldn't be tolerated! I'm aTecher first and last and that'sfar more important."
Anita Crafts Lighty will bethe first woman to graduate fromCal tech in three years afterentering as a freshman. As one ofAmerica's six Winston S. Churchill Foundation Scholars, shewill study membrane molecularbiology at Cambridge Universitynext fall under Dr. D. J. Ellar.
Torpedo ProteinCurrently, Anita is investi
gating the acetylcholine receptorprotein of Torpedo californicusunder Dr. M. A. Raftery. Herresearch will continue until latesummer, when she'll travel inEurope before settling down inBritain.
Before entering Tech in Fall1971, she attended the Interna tional Science School atSydney University as a U.S.President's Australian ScienceScholar, topping that experiencewith a world tour. (Each yearthe National Science Foundationand National Merit ScholarshipCorporation selects ten studentsfor the honor.)
One summer later, her research with Dr. Max Delbruckand Dr. Tomatso Ootaki led tothe paper "Complementation Between Mutants of PhycomycesDeficient with Respect to Cartogenesis", published in Molecularand General Genetics 121, January 1973.
Illuminated ManuscriptsResearch in cell biology has
not been Anita's only passion,however. She enjoys collectingand studying medieval illuminated manuscripts and orientalart, skill gimmick car rallyeing,naval miniature war-gaming, sailing, and modern dance and ballet(as audiences of Kate discovered). In fact, she will exhibither illuminated manuscripts inthe hall cases of Baxter duringJune.
Anita Crafts Lighty
Theatre, Parents Without Partners, Sierra Club, plus suchactivities as piano, painting,writing, biking, back-packing, andduplicate bridge, she lists "David,Lisa, John."
As an administrator and member of the Women's Coalition,she has many opportunities toobserve and interact with otherwomen at Tech. I asked her whyshe felt the coalition was needed.
"Women here really feel invisible," she commented. There isalmost no communication amongthe different groups on campus."
Finally, I asked her how shewould like to see the Coalitionchange. "I would like to see itbecome a more vital force for allwomen on campus; I'd like tosee more women getting together," she replied. "I want thewomen's center to become aplace where women can go forinformation or to talk. I'd like-tosee more efforts focused on staffwomen. We should press forcompensation and promotion reviews, more faculty appointments, recognition of secretarieswho do administrative tasks, andprograms aimed at giving secretaries more routes out of secretarial jobs."
Rosemary Morris
Rosemary Morris, coordinatorof the Caltech Women's Coali·tion, has been an administrativeassistant in the Division ofChemistry and Chemical Engi.neering since 1972. She came toCaltech with experience in avariety of business and manage·ment positions involving mar·keUng, personnel, public rela·tions, and supervision of officeoperations.
"You should mentIOn mychildren," she commented."They're very important to me."I noted that in her currentresume, after listing membershipor participation in such organi.zations as N. O. W., Conejo Little
Joyce PennLast fall, Dr. Joyce Penn
became the third female professor on the faculty at Caltech.Her field is American literature,especially narrative prose; she iscurrently working on a contemporary author, Isaac BashevisSinger. This research is progressing well, and she expects tohave a book on Singer completedin a year or so. After that, she iscontemplating a study of American popular magazines from thebeginning of the century, perhapsfocusing on how changes in' thefiction reflect changes in thesociety.
Her comments about Caltech,and about the humanities department in particular, were verypositive. "People have been almost excruciatingly nice," shelaughed. "I've met no discrimination. In fact, some peoplehave really been bending overbackwards to show they aren'tprejudiced." She especially appreciates the academic freedomshe has, to explore any directionthat interests her, and to developcourses around these interests.This quarter, she is teaching acourse on American minorityliterature (possibly a first forCaltech); and she and Dr. LaBelleare planning a course for nextyear on women and literature.
She feels very strongly aboutthe Caltech Women's Coalition,wishing it were "much moreaggressive and active! I'd like tosee the women's center becomemore than just a room withchairs in it. There's a lot ofimportant information we wouldcollect then make available at thecenter."
"We need more members,more funds; and it's beginning tolook like we need a ftill set ofofficers just to distribute thework load some. But most of allwe need a set of very specificgoals to work for."

PROFILES
During her three years at theHealth Center, Doreen Kroegerhas been working to make theCenter a warm, friendly place, aplace people won't hesitate to goto if they have problems or needto talk to someone. Doreen has aB.S. in nursing education, apublic health certificate, and aschool nurse creden tial; shewould like to do some teachingat Tech along the line ofnutrition or first aid, or justhealth in general, with theemphasis on prevention.
Doreen has some interestingcomments to make about being aworking wife and mother. Shestayed at home until her boyswere about ten, then started towork again, and the changes bothin her and in her family havebeen quite impressive. "I feel I'mbringing a lot more to the familynow," she says. "I think I'm abetter mother and wife, and myfamily agrees."
Doreen feels that one of themost important tasks of theCaltech Women's Coalition is tocombat the isolation of womenon campus, to cross departmentand social boundaries in gettingwomen together. She made astrong move towards this goalherself, when she combined thetwo diet-watchers groups (staffand students) into one group(people). The group, which meetsat noon on Wednesdays, hasworked out realiy well, providingan unusual opportunity for staffto meet students, and vice versa,while successfully losing weight!

"Matriarchal Societies in Literature" was the topic of Annette Smith's Ph.D. thesis and itindicates one of the' majorinterests of her life. Born andraised in France, she was searching for ideas about cultureswhich differed significantly fromthe intensely patriarchal, authoritative society she knew inFrance.
"I have a myth," she saysquietly, "of a social order wherewoman's values prevail, ratherthan man's. It is completelydemocratic, uncompetitive,peaceful, artistic ..."
She has great hopes for"Women Present ..." (a day ofseminars about women plus anart show by women artists). "Isee it as a collective assertationby Caltech women of theircommon interests. I hope it willbe a day of not just learning, bu tof feeling for all women oncampus."

Replies on acceptances havebeen lagging generally this year,but it is possible to postulatereasons for this. The currentnational financial situation ismost of the problem; money istight and many prospects' plansare uncertain. Also, there wereno interviews conducted this yearbecause of the gasshortage-meaning that a lot ofPR work was never done. It alladds up to 180 firm positivereplies as of this Monday (a weekpast the Candidate's Reply Date,May 1), so the department is"going on the waiting list"(which won't drastically changethe number of women-there arerelatively few on the ranked list).

This isyourkey to unprecedented calculatingcapaci~ Only Hewlett-Packard offers it
It lets you "speak" to your calculator with total consistency, becauseit lets you load data into a 4-Register Stack. This means: (1) you alwaysenter and process your data the same way, no matter what your problem;(2) you don't have to re-enter data; (3) you can see all intermediate dataanytime.
Our HP-45 is one of two pre-programmed scientific pocket-sizedcomputer calculators with this key. That's one reason it's the most powerfUl pre-programmed pocket-sized scientific computer calculator. Hereare three of many others:
1. It's pre-programmed to handle 44 arithmetic, trigonometric andlogarithmic functions and data manipulation operations beyond thebasic four (+, -, x, +).
2. It lets you store nine constants in its nine Addressable MemoryRegisters, and it gives you a "Last X" Register for error correction ormultiple operations on the same number.
3. It displays up to 10 significant digits in either fixed-decimal orscientific notation and automatically positions the decimal point throughout its 200-decade range.
Our Hp·35 is the other. It handles 22 functions, has one AddressableMemory Register and also displays up to 10 digits in either fixed-decimalor scientific notation. It's the second most powerful pre-programmedpocket-sized scientific computer calculator.
Both of these exceptional instruments are on display now. If you'relooking for unprecedented calculating capacity for your money, by allmeans see and test them.

Hugg should feel perfectly justified in reviewing Peisner's review,just as I feel justified inreviewing them both. (I thinkcarrying this out another stepwould be going a bit too far,though.) But Jim should notimply that reviews should saysomething nice or say nothing atall. I'm sure he knows the pitfallsof trying to guess what you'vedone wrong when no one willtell you.

Me Kate, and would like toremind both sides that thefunction of the critic withrespect to any performance-inentertainment or in scientificresearch-is the production ofimprovement in the performer.Those who hope to avoid badreviews in a school newspapermay as well give up all hope ofpublishing a research paper or ofdeveloping and defending a thesis. Such notions are more or lesstaboo (sic) at Caltech, and theyshould apply to acting, singing,and playing musical instrumentsas well-to say nothing of all thebackstage work. Actors, writers,etc. who "never read reviews"seldom amount to much; feedback is essential to the perfectionof a faulty performance. Mr.

I was deceived by a Techeditorial assuring me that "thegirls would be just like us!". Anyupperclassmen who believed thatwould hightail it to Tijuana,shrieking all the way. But I was anaive frosh, and felt reassured.
Now there is nothingnothing-more humiliating thanasking some girl how to do ascience problem, especially inPhI or Ph2. Fortunately, I haddeveloped a method by whichthey would remain unaware oftheir superiority:
Me: "Say, Susie, did youfinally psyche out that problem?" (Say with a confident air)
She: "Yes, it was reasonablytrivial. "
Me: ("Trivial"? Oh, LordI)"Ah-well you realize, of course,that there is more than one wayto solve it ... let's see yours."

Mr. Hugg also states that Mr.Peisner was alone in his opinions.I saw the play, and I have verynearly the same judgements asMr. Peisner. In addition, variouspeople with whom I discussedthe performance generally hadthe same views. It is likely thatmost of the statements in thearticle are apt. Mr. Hugg impliesthat professional standards wereused to evaluate a play performed by novices. I do notbelieve this is true. Mr. Peisnercompares the play to pastperformances at Caltech. In myown evaluations, I compared theperformers with each other-thatis, the evaluation was carried outwithin the framework of the playitself.
Any performer with even amodicum of sense for what he isdoing should be able to tell if hisperformance is good or bad.Newspaper reviews are totallyirrelevant to this. Also, if theaudience is worth performing for,it is capable of recognizing agood performance. Thus, theonly way an actor or actresscould genuinely feel "kicked inthe teeth" is if he or she wasexpecting undeserved praise.

Perhaps Dr. Smith was annoyed at having his parkingprivilege reevaluated. Or maybeDr. Brown was angry that he hadbeen denied use of the People'sWall.
It has become increasinglyapparent that someone is tryingto put the screws on us, and Mr.Mallonee is not strong enough tostand up to them. Well, Mr.Mallonee, maybe you are beingpressured from above, but theOCRC can also use force to getour way, and we are notconstrained by the limits ofgentlemanly behavior.
I might point out that thereare many people who are sympathetic to our cause who get alltheir information about theOCRC from the articles that Mr.O'Crick writes for The Tech.These people have been deniedthat information in recent weeks.

It recently came to myattention that an article writtenby Mr. O'Crick about the OCRChas been sitting around yournews office, unpublished, for thepast three weeks. When myrepresentative complained to theeditor about this situation, Mr.Mallonee tersely replied that thearticle was not "topical" enough,that there were worthier articlesthat had to be printed in placeof it, and that it was made up,anyway. Vet an examination ofthe past two issues of The Techwill show that this is simply notso.
That rambling piece of tripefrom Gale Sayers, and the plugfor Randy Mink's travel bookwere hardly newsworthy, norwere they topical, nor were theyreal. The aCRC, on the otherhand, relates very directly to lifeat Caltech. Some of our attackshave apparently been too direct,and thus the seeds of censorshipare sprouting.

Lyman IrritatesUsed-Car DealerDear Caltech Newspaper,
It takes a lot to rile me, buthow some wise guys at such aprestigious school like Caltechcan indiscriminately make fun ofhonest private enterprise I don'tknow. I am referring to the poortaste stunt carried off on Caltechproperty this week involving theridicule of used car dealers bysome hot shot name of Lymanwho put up the used car lot andconnived with students to makea mockery of me and all used cardealers everywhere.
Fun is fun, but in times likethese almost anything can ruinsomebody attempting to livehonestly. And people like thisLyman character just makethings worse.
All I want to say is' that ifthis Lyman ever tries to get thebest deal this side of the RioGrande he better look elsewherebecause he won't get mine.

Tennis LooksTo Next Season
by Bob KieckheferThe tennis season mercifully
drew to a close last weekendwhen Tech's netmen took seventh place in the SCIAC Cham-
. pionships. The team managed topost only a 1-14 record in 1974and were 0-12 in the conference.
One of Tech's better conference dual matches was the lastone, held on May 2 againstWhittier. Though the Poets won,7-2, most of the matches wereclose, with two of Tech's lossescoming in sets that went threegames. Dave Dummit (secondsingles) and Mo Nakatsui-NathanLewis (third doubles) postedvictories in this match.
Despite the poor showing thisyear, the outlook for 1975 issomewhat bright. Only Ram Rao(fifth singles) will graduate nextmonth, and juniors Dummit andNakatsui should form a strongnucleus for next year's team.
