in their efforts, but they mustremember that idealism does notplay such a large role in most peo­ple's minds as would be needed toensure world peace, starting evenwith something as small (in com­parison) as the elimination ofnuclear weapons. Of course, theremay yet be hope for peace, but thehope will not be borne by thosewho have such a narrow perspec­tive on history.

more spoiled brat kids in the lasttwo centuries than probably everexisted before, since the belief ininnate goodness implies "naturaleducation," such as outlined inRousseau's Emile, where a studentis taught basically by being let onhis own to experience everything.Now, Rousseau was a vacillatory,self-contradictory sentimentalist,and his philosophy is generallycriticized-all except his belief inthe innate goodness of man, whichis held by either stubborn in­dividuals or those who would liketo be labelled "Enlightened"because the name soundsfashionable.

History indicates that the innategoodness of man is an innate ab­surdity. The American marketsystem is oiled by the selfish in­terests of its participants, as plann­ed (foretold?) by Adam Smith, thepatron saint of capitalism. Warsgenerally start between states onpolitical or economic, rather thanideological grounds (the VietnamWar was an example of an ideo­logically-motivated war, and it wasdefused by a subsequent rejectionof ideology that was the result ofthe war's lack of promise ofpolitical or economic gain). Andthe experiments of the utopiansocialists in the nineteenth century,which concerned fashioning anideal society to cultivate man'sgoodness, failed.

The twentieth century is notunique in its attempts to abandonwar. War was outlawed for a briefperiod of time between the WorldWars in the Kellogg-Briand Pact.This obviously did not work: noticethe wording, "between the WorldWars." Earlier, war was outlawedon holy days in medieval Europe,but petty wars still ravaged Europe;even religion could not stopviolence in the Age of Faith. Oneshould not make the mistake ofthinking contemporary man anymore reasonable than before.

Taylor's four criteria to ensurepeace through disarmament werequite reasonable, even common­sense. But the achievement of thesecriteria will be, to say the least, ex­tremely difficult. Peace is definite­ly a worthwhile goal, but a hardone. Those who strive are laudable

which would significantly reduceits reliability, and an agency total­ly severed from international af­fairs would only be a new politicalentity which would only serve toantagonize other entities.

It is obvious that someideological shift should take placeto make the hope of internationalpeace realistic. But, as hintedabove, there is a wide gulf betweenwhat should and what is and willprobably be. It is true ¢.at "civilian­based non-violent defense" work­ed in India's play for independence,but it can hardly be said that itworked very well in Czecho­slovakia, since it is still behind theIron Curtain. More recently, it suc­ceeded only temporarily in Poland.The success of non-violent defenselies in the laxity of the oppressor,and thus its ability to concededefeat. Great Britain went relative­ly easy on India (not to say theywere not oppressors), and when itsaw the economic disadvantage oftrying to keep its colony, it gave up(same with the United States). TheSoviet Union, on the other hand,seems to be unable to concededefeat even in the face of suchdisadvantage, an observation fur­ther supported by the related exam­ple of its continuing efforts to sub­due Afghanistan in the face ofviolent opposition.

Furthermore, what start aspeaceful demonstrations have beenknown to erupt in mob violence.But again, on whose side is poweron in confrontations betweendemonstrators and oppressors?Might may not make right, but isvery good at suppressing it. Now,perhaps the odds could be evenedby adding some "might" to thedemonstrators. Where would this"might" come from? It would notappear out of thin air; someonemust make it. Arms races, unlikelife forms, do spontaneouslygenerate, because it only takes oneego to set the wheels in motion.

It is obvious that Taylor'sarguments hinge upon some beliefin the innate goodness of man,which is an Enlightenment­Romantic Age philosophy whichhas caused more unhappiness thanthe belief in the innate badness ofman, and in fact has engendered

firepower, and bargaining). But isit really necessary as a defensivetool? And, if SDI is purely defen­sive in nature, why don't we shareit with everyone? Why should suchresearch be classified? The answeris that SDI technology is adestabilizing offensive technologythat also has a defensive use. Theparticle beam weapons and x-raylasers most commonly cited as ex­amples of SDI are weapons, notshields, as our President wouldhave us believe. The new targetingand detection technologies that willbe developed under SDI have theirdarker side. If SDI weapons cantrack, identify, and down a missilein flight, how much easier wouldit be to down an airplane, blast atruck, obliterate a house, or evenkill a slow-moving person? Shieldshave always been used as weaponsby warriors. I would be worriedabout SDI if I were Soviet.

To the Editor:Dr. Ted Taylor, the subject of

the article "World Without Nukes,"in the May 2 California Tech, ob­viously shares with many others anadmirable hope for mankind, thatof ridding man's world of war ingeneral, a hope focused primarilyon the elimination of nuclearweapons. Peace is a truly desirablegoal- an obvious point for all sanepeople. I regret I was not able tohear him speak, but the contents ofthe article seem to indicate that,while Dr. Taylor knows his nuclearphysics quite well, he has a verylimited view of history and itslessons.

For instance, his proposal toverify compliance with disarma­ment treaties has already proven in­effective. U.S. space surveillanceis already monitoring activities inthe Soviet Union, and some havejoked that with this system, theAmericans can tell which soldiersshave every morning. But when thesatellites detect somethingsuspicious in the Soviet Union, theSoviets have been known to reply,"That's none of your business." Itis obvious that "Nothing whatevershould be a secret," but unfor­tunately, these things are. As forsetting up a private agency todisseminate surveillance data to thepublic, the obvious question wouldbe, "Who would staff it?" An in­ternational organization would besubject to international intrigue,

Sushi SecondedTo the Editors:

Upon reading Nick Smith'sreview of Sachi Sushi [2 May1986J, we cried "Cowabunga!"and, piling into the Behemoth, setoff to partake of the heavenly rawfish ourselves. Sachi Sushi morethan lived up to our expectations:the sushi, from hamachi to anago,was fresh and scrumptious, the at­mosphere (apart from the awful70's muzak) was delightful, and thesushi chef himself is one muy cooldude.

With sushi heaven so close by,what are you guys waiting for? Theplace was far from full when wewent, but next time we want to seeit overrun with Techers!

To the Editors:Prof. Gell-Mann demonstrated

poor taste in his picky criticism ofJosh Kurutz's article. Josh's articlewas far more accurate and infor­mative than most newspaper ar­ticles. IfGell-Mann wishes to haveevery word properly nuanced,there is no choice but to write apress release himself.

-Paul Smith

To the Editors:Nuclear weapons do not have to

be large in size. The weaponsthemselves, or pieces of them, maybe easily transported and effective­ly hidden. It is, therefore,unreasonable to believe that boththe U.S. and the Soviet Union havenot planted weapons on eachother's soil. The Strategic DefenseInitiative (SDI) is an interestingconcept, but so is mine. What dowe do if the weapons are already"delivered"? Both nations have hadthe capability, know-how, and timeto do such a thing, so neither na­tion can afford to believe that theother hasn't had the inclination todo it.

SDI is an effective bargainingtool, conscience salve, moneydrain, and psychological support(unless you happen to believe thatall the undelivered weapons are justfor flexibility in targeting, added

With the increase in the numberof woman ethologists in the pastfew decades, this view has beencontradicted. Many aspects ofanimal behavior that previouslyhad been ignored or misinterpretedpresented a much more active roleof the females in competing forresources and mates in recentstudies.

Ms. Kevles went on to describemany cases of female behaviorwhich seem to upset the dogma ofthe traditional female role. One ofthe more interesting examples wasthe female moorhen, which fightswith rivals for a mate. She choosesthe smaller, fatter males, as theyare best adapted to sitting on thenest for long stretches of timewithout getting up to forage.Female weaverbirds, in contrast,select a mate for his ability to builda suitable nest.

The idea of motherhood beinga primary concern of the femaleanimal is frequently destroyed byinstances of mothers jettisoningbabies while being pursued bypredators (among kangaroos), andallowing males taking control of agroup to kill his rival's offspring(among langurs). Complex socialstructure among females is evidentin the hierarchy within a troop ofvervets or in the "midwife" roles inherds of elephant or groups ofdolphins.

by Mimi ZuckerBettyann Kevles, science writer

for The Los Angeles Times andeditor at the University of Califor­nia Press, spoke about her latestwork, Females ofthe Species: Sexand Survival in the AnimalKingdom Tuesday evening.

Ms. Kevles started her talk witha brief historical background ofconventional ideas about femalebehavioral roles. In ancient times,the Egyptians observed that theworker bees of a hive fed and caredfor a larger individual, and liken­ed this bee to their pharaoh. Later,Romans dubbed it the "emperor"bee. During the Middle Ages, thehive was compared to a monasteryof busy "monks". Not until thereign of Queen Elizabeth was itdiscovered that the workers wereactually waiting on a female, whichwe now call the "queen" bee. Thisstory illustrates the coloring ofman's perception of naturalphenomena by the observer'scultural background, moral convic­tions, or sex.

Even Darwin, who is tradi­tionally lauded for the carefulobservation that led to his insightfultheories of natural selection, hassuggested that females were (in thespeaker's words) "coy, fearful ofsex, and only willing to give inwhen there was no alternative".

Interestingly, one of the few ofDarwin's ideas that was long re­jected by the scientific communitywas the concept of female choiceof mates. Much after the Victorianera, Solly Zuckerman describedthe role of the female gorilla as"passive"; any selection was a

Xi was on the side of the road,right next to the stack of flamingoart, which was drawing closer witheach passing microsecond. Xi wasjust standing there laughinghysterically. He seemed prettypleased with himself.

I frantically looked around themain cabin of the bicycle forsomething to throw overboard tolighten the load. I found the UnitedStates Steel Luggage brandsuitcases - they were an obviousplace to start. I went for the largest,grabbed it and started to lift it; itwas considerably heavier than I hadanticipated, and I fell over onto it.I stood up and dragged it over tobike's door. I shoved it out. It fellto the ground with a loud thud. Idragged the remaining ones over tothe door, and dropped them out aswell.

I ran back up to the cockpit ofthe bicycle and pulled back on thestick. The bike still wouldn't fly.

4THE CALIFORNIA TECH FRIDAY 9 MAY 1986

The I nside ",,"arid . Food!Dabney: The house bowling trip, I am sad to report, was a dismalfailure. I almost refused to relate the full details in this space, sodistasteful was this unfortunate event.

Upon arrival at the bowling alley where our social team had madereservations several days in advance, we were denied the opportunityto bowl. The attendants were so abusive to us, in fact, that several ofthe more vociferous members of our group, who had been drinkingfairly heavily for several hours, started to argue loudly with the rudebowling alley employees. It got so loud that the assistant manager soonentered the argument- a very unwise decision on his part, as it soonbecame a full-scale brawl.

It wasn't long until the whole entourage was embroiled in the con­flagration. The deserving alley attendants were howling with agonydue to broken bones (some of which were visually disgusting compound[or open] fractures). Our vice president had the assistant manager ina choke hold when the police arrived.

The overreaction on the part of the police was quite expected. Theyshowed up in full riot gear and shot tear gas into the bloody battle.Our battle support group supplied house members with AirHats™ from3M to render the rather childish effort on the part of the riot squadimpotent. Hence, they were forced to open fire.

Needless to say, you'll be seeing fewer Darbs around for the nextfew weeks. Those that weren't killed or seriously wounded are nowrotting in a jail in Tijuana, where we expect they'll remain for sometime.

Room pick next Thursday. Be prepared to choose several.-"J"

Fleming: It's time for next year's room pick, and boy, things are get­ting exciting watching the frosh pick. Ijust hope that they finish soon,so the Juniors can get on with it. Remember, we need 22 open roomsfor next year, so if you're thinking of moving off, check into it.

Interhouse tennis goes on, and the Big Red Machine finally startedto warm up. Let's see, we beat the Spuds and they beat page, so I guessthat, well, you can figure it out. The Spuds also got smashed inDiscobolus soccer. This weekend it's broom ball vs. the Moles, so bethere. This Saturday it's Sports Day, this time for sure. Ha Ha Ha.And Ditch Day is tomorrow. Sure.

The Scoreboard disappeared early this week without a trace, so wellassume it's stolen and build a new one. I pity the fool that stole it, ifwe ever find out. So what's going to get screwed up next week? That'swhat I wonder. .

The miracle of the week? New Formula beat Classic. It's a pity thatmy once-in-a-lifetime viewing of a miracle had to be wasted on that.Oh well.

Until next week ...-Al Fansome

Lloyd: Bassoon Day, our newest national holiday, came and wentlast week. If you were good this past year, the Bassoon Day Potatono doubt brought everything on your list. Hope everyone got new reeds.If you ask me, though, Bassoon Day is getting way to commercializ­ed. Only 350 shopping days until Bassoon Day 1987!

Anyone notice that in Interhouse Tennis we're 4-0? We play Flem­ing today and Blacker Monday. Show up and cheer, and let's win thisthing.

The 3-man basketball tournament starts soon, so sign up. So farthe field includes Those Nutty Guys, the Gumbys, Six Feet, and Sherri,Sherri.

Last week's social event, ice skating with Blacker, went well, asexpected. Tren's numerous pratfalls didn't make anyone think he wasa bad skater; they just demonstrated his tremendous durability.

Making a list and checking it twice,-Spudkank

Page: Because many parts of last week's Page House Inside Worldwere edited, we are now posting the complete column in SyndicateAlley in Page House.

Syndicate Alley welcomes its newest social member: Sawah. Rumorhas it that Rambo will initiate her. This weekend Billy, a.k.a. HouseSunshine, found out why Parkinson always orders Hawaiian Pizzas.Although Vito does not often play wargames, he was Missing in Ac­tion two nights in a row after escorting C**A home. Ever since,he has been addicted to drinking carrot juice.

ED: If at the time of this printing the Fleming scoreboard has notfound its way back home,Syndicate Alley offers its services (pricenegotiable) to assist in a prompt and safe return of said item.

When the warmup band, Foreplay, did not show up for the party(four played later, however), Captain Sex jumped right into what theydo best. The party was a great success and, from what we remember,everyone had a great time.

Just in case you have forgotten, Cobra Spaghetti Night is still May23rd, Scott. ,

Syndicate Alley raffle tickets are still available. Remember: theymake excellent Mother's Day presents.

Roompicks resulted in the formation of a new alley: The Farce.Syndicate Alley has moved upstairs as well as expanding off-campuswith the formation of Syndicate Alley: Mich Division. Next year therewill be twenty-seven frosh women, with whom Beck is hoping to fIllthe twenty-seven openings in Page. Ever since Larry found out he wasgoing to room with Bineet he's had a nose-on.

- Cynthia KatherineRicketts: This week on parade:

This week's sheduled events include five BC dinners, 5 BC lunches(3 here, 2 in Lloyd), one barbecue at 290 on Saturday, and one picnicwith alums on Sunday. Sunday is Mother's Day, so give the gift thatkeeps on giving-a BC dinner.

This week's unscheduled events were a big hit. The frosh, other­wise known as The Great Humanitarians, felt that the soph's were notgetting enough culture. Their solution was to make L.D. alley into along knee-deep aquarium. Although no fish actually made it into theaquarium, the toll was 300 dead goldfish even before they were putin Heidi's bathtub. When the aquarium's useful life was over, thefloodgates were lifted, and the water rushed down the stairs, just missingDave's room and ending up on the Ath Lawn.

The sophomores, a.k.a. The Great Reformers, helped to preventa devastating disease from running rampant through Ricketts Hovse.After finding Greg Jensen's hamsters in a fevered franzy late Wednes­day night, and fearing that the disease was already spreading amongthe frosh, the sophomores had to work fast. They quickly determinedthat the frosh were already lost, and so isolated them within the con­fines of Snatch. Unfortunately, the barriers were broken down withina few hours by the hyper frosh. Rumor has it that our own Presidentbroke quarantine and entered the area, possibly infecting himself.

-SaxyRuddock: Dear Uncle Jose,

It's third term, and the natives are getting restless here in yourbelov­ed Ruddock House. The decadent vice-president, Wayne "Epilepsy"Lukens, has begun his long-anticipated moves toward a coup d'etat inmany subtle ways. Constitutional changes are in the works which ap­pear to rearrange the balance of power, while in reality put the realcontrol of Ruddock in the hands of him and his "science adviser," Dr.Sonny C. Lee, a.k.a. the "Butcher of Ohio." Alley challenges have beensubverted to suit his needs in a transparent way-6 against 3 in ad­vanced D&D, 5 against 1 in one-legged basketball. Mysterious defeatsin Discobolus soccer and Interhouse tennis to Fleming had everyonewondering where it would all end. Luckily, Lukens was discreditedwhen the eclair joke was told with him as the (ahem) butt, in front ofthe dinner guest, Jenijoy LaBelle. She ate it up.

Lots of other action here too. Sarge failed to recall the number ofA. U.'s in a parsec. Everyone was disappointed, especially the seniors,who decided a quick dip might refresh his memory. It didn't. Amy andSam have started practicing their Tom Petty and Sun City imitations,for Air Band- watch out.

Tomorrow is ... Sports Day! Free food, fun, and flicking. Sam'sthrowing a party afterward; everyone should come as they were inprevious lives- I hear Nancy was a St. Pauli Girl. Where is it? If youhave to ask, well ... People not too thrashed can wake up Sunday toan authentic oriental brunch, courtesy your friendly social team.

By the way, uncle, you should come by for dinner-we've had twoguests this week alone! I hear next week James Brown is dining withus. Yow! Living in Armenia ...

That's all for now. 111 write again soon. Love and kisses to AuntLola.

Your loving nephew,- Buford Frink

The Lawfrom page 3The copilot was punching figuresinto his watch, estimating rapidlythe weight we had saved by gettingrid of the luggage. He was unfor­tunately starting with the currenttheoretical limits placed on colorforce coupling factors and workinghis way up from there, so I figuredit would take him a while. Since thewall of flamingos was nearly uponus, I decided to try to take actionmyself. I looked around for moreto throw overboard, but foundnothing.

Suddenly, I remembered thecast iron full-body protective suitI was wearing. The nuclear ac­celerator backpack which provid­ed power to the suit must haveweighed four tons alone. I carefullypowered it down, taking care notto start a meltdown, and detachedit from my suit. I threw the \reac­tor out the cockpit door. It wasn'tlong until the suit was overboardas well.

I sat down again at the controlpanel. The copilot was still mak­ing calculations, which I had com­plicated by bringing nuclear fissioninto the picture, causing him tomutter something about these an­noying atheists. But the wall wasinches away - there was no time todo anything but pull back on thestick and hope for the best.

FRIDAY 9 MAY 1986 5Freshman, he played both footballand baseball, but dropped all sportshis Sophomore year. He resumedhis football activities his Junioryear and continued them throughhis Senior year. He is currently amember of the SCUBA club atCaltech and played for thePasadena Rugby team last year.

Very few students from Caltechhave tried to run for public office.The only person who came to themind of Schuyler was that of Vic­tor Veysey, who earned his BS in1936. According to Schuyler, thisalumnus went on to hold manytitles, including StateAssemblyman, State Con­gressman, State Secretary of In­dustrial Relations, U.S. Con­gressman, and Assistant Secretaryof the Army.

The 43rd district includesTopanga, Calabassas Park,Woodland Hills, Encino, Tarzana,Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Belair,Beverly Hills, Westwood, andparts of West Hollywood,Hollywood Hills, PacificPalisades, Santa Monica, andBrentwood.

Schuylerfrom page 1hire people with Congressional ex­perience because the contacts theyhad made are looked upon asvaluable resources.

Further motivation for can­didacy arises from Schuyler'sdesire to tackle the Californiapolitical infrastructure, known asthe "Burman-Waxman machine."These two Congressmen, Burmanand Waxman, "view politics as amoney-making institution," accor­ding to Schuyler. This "organiza­tion" "buys" elections-determinestheir outcome by pouring moneyinto a favorable candidate's cam­paign fund. Schuyler cited the elec­tion of Tony Bealonson, the Con­gressman from the 43rd District, asan example of exertion of themachine's will.

Caltech's Beckman Internshiphad Schuyler as its recipient twoyears ago. This internship is set upfor the study of politics. "I becamevery aware of state politics at thattime." Schuyler said.

Running a campaign of thismagnitude while being a student atCaltech has presented a few con­flicts for Schuyler. He estimatesthat he works 30 to 50 hours aweek on his campaign and he iscurrently taking 24 units ofcoursework under the double op­tion of Electrical Engineering andSocial Science. "I manage to getmy work done," he affirmed. Hefurther justified the expenditure ofso much time by asserting, "I haveto make sure [the LyndonLarouche candidate] doesn't win."

Schuyler did not admit to hav­ing any student governmentbackground at Caltech. He was in­volved with some clubs,however.Even so, he did encountersome problems. He said, "Justbecause I wanted to get involved Iexperienced a sort of alienationfrom Caltech around mySophomore year." He was involv­ed with the World Affairs Forum,and found it too liberal and bias­ed. At that point, he decided toform YAF a conservative counter­part to WAF. Schuyler also claimsto have worked with the CaliforniaSeminar on International Securityand Foreign Policy, whose seniorgroup includes Marvin Goldbergerand Dr. Arnold Beckman, andwhose junior section is headed byBob Oliver. For the last threeyears, he has tried to start a frater­nity on campus, but has not metwith much success. The presentgroup only has seven members.

In Game 1, starter Brett Bushcombined with Brian Colder tohold the hard-hitting Baptists toeight runs in a 12-8 Caltech vic­tory. Paving the way to the winwere left field Min Su Yun (2-4,2R, 2SB), pitcher Bush (3-4, 3RBI,1SB), and catcher Jim Hamrick(4-4, 2B's, 2RBI).

In singles, Tammy breezedthrough the first round with a 6-3,6-1 win. Carol Choy unfortunate­ly drew the Number 3 seed as afirst round opponent, but took herto three sets before losing 6-3, 2-6,6-4 in a hard-fought although un­successful upset bid.

Caltech's third and fourthsingles players, Carol Mullenax(6-2,6-4) and Joy Watanabe (6-1,6-4) both lost in very close firstround matches, while players 5 and6, Junko Munakata and PamFeldman, also succumbed to firstround foes. Being the only Techerto survive the super-competitiveopening round, Tammy Choy fac­ed one of the tournament's topseeds in round two. Having playeda singles match and a gruelingthree-set doubles match that day,Tammy was outlasted by herfresher opponent 6-2, 6-1.

In doubles action, the dynamicChoy duo outclassed a very goodRedlands team 3-6,6-4,6-3 to earna spot in the second round. In thatsecond, however, they faced the
