Brunswig, Myers, Lamb to Lead ASCIT

-Kim Gleason

Fred Brunswig, surprise dark-horse winner in the exciting ASCIT Presidentrace, explains to audience at Election Rally about the size of some object ofprodigious importance to him, probably the one that got away. Wicked smileon his face is in anticipation of being hit in the ear with a sticky glob of oobleck.

Today marks the first birth·day of the Arnold O. BeckmanAuditorium. One year ago to·night the magnificent prodigywas dedicated amid praisingspeeches and curious looks.It is well for us to take a min­utes and review the triumphsand mistakes of that year inour minds - and then moveforward.

clUb's activities will involve onlya minimum expenditure, "per­haps $10," according to DaveCartwright, one of the active or­ganizers.

Faculty advisors for the clubare professor Dino Morelli in en­gineering design and assistantprofessor of aeronautics PeterLissaman. Lissaman has de­signed the lowspeed glider, "LeMinimum," which will be the hubof the gliding activities. Thedouble safety factors of lowflight speeds and powerplant re­liability (there'll be none) togeth­er with very low costs shouldprove attractive to many people.

For those of you whoare interested, she is now at theQuail in North Hollywood, andwas featured for a year at thePink Pussycat. She and the oth­er dancer can be contactedthrough the Walter K r askagency, if you're that interested.

Sue Martin, currently in therace for president of the Caltechstudent bod, estimated the horni­ness index of this year's audienceas at about the same level aslast year's. "They're a great au­dience," she purred. "A lot ofpeople say they get out of line,but they're all right; they're justhaVing a good time." Sue wishedall the frosh good luck on theirtake-home tests Tuesday, and islooking forward to next year's ap­pearance. "They'll be tired ofme by that· time, though," shespeculated. This reporter, as hewatched her pull on her things,dOUbted it.

This destruction rally seems tohave changed its function overthe years. Th€ name "electionrally" used to be applicable-thatis, it used to be an honest-to-good­ness election rally. Candidateswould get up and give speechesto the peers entrusted with theirelection to ASCIT offices, but thisdidn't attract very much atten­tion. So· the candidates began totell dirty jokes, and then trieddirty skits. The gross skits arethere, but no one gives a gooddamn. The students com.e to seethe dancers.

To confirm. this, your rovingreporter stood outside the doorof Culbertson Hall last Mondaynight and asked a dozen randomtrolls whether the so-called elec­tion rally made any difference intheir choice of candidates forASCIT office. Both printable andunprintable replies were withoutexception in the negative.

Elections for ASCrT officeswere held Tuesday, with winnerspicked for all posts but two. Gor­don Myers defeated Ed Robert­son for Vice-president, and FredLamb beat Dave Close to becomethe new Secretary. Also, BillBroste is the new IHC Chairman,with Lenny Fisher the loser.

A runoff occurred yesterday totry to reduce the number of candi­dates for the two offices still con­tested; Steve Card and Doug Ea­ton were still in the race forSocial Chairman, Stu Hopkinshaving been eliminated, and allfour frosh were still trying tobecome Representative-at-large:Greg Brewer, Jon Haviland,Ralph Kimbrell, and Sam Logan.Ecod!

To no one's surprise, the foI­low i n g unopposed candidateswere elected: Fred Brunswig,President; Eric Young, Treasurer;John .Walter, Athletic Manager;Jerry Yudelson, Activities Chair­man; Martin Smith, Board ofControl Secretary; and the omin­ous Cerebrus Berrygreenfeldhen­drickson, Editor of the CaliforniaTech.

The candidates presented theirplatforms and campaign state­ments at the traditional Election.Lally, Monday evening in Cul­bertson Hall. Hundreds of hornyTechmen jammed the auditor­ium's facilities to shower praiseon their favorites and watch theshow.

This reporter could discoverbut one strange type in attend­ance. She didn't want to giveher name at first, but she wasproud of being the only girlthere. Judy Williams explainedher incongruous presence with ashrug of her shoulders; "I metBob Lentz at a coffeehouse lastnight. I came to Caltech thismorning. I didn't know it wasan all-boy school, and I've neverseen a show like this before, sowhat the heck!"

The Patrol had hoped to seea flash off the satellite's shinymicrometeoroid-detection panels,as this flash would have beenbright enough to cast a shadow.However, there has been no re­port from any team of such aflash.For Once Useful

The Patrol also saw the dum­my Apollo capsule which wasthrown up with Pegasus. It wasdimmer than Pegasus, and cameby about two minutes earlier.This dual launching representsthe first time that the Saturnbooster has been used to launcha useful satellite. Previous laun­ches have orbited several tonsof sand and water. Perhaps NA­SA was considering assemblinga concrete space station.

The Air Defense Command'sSPADATS satellite tracking sys­tem reported the Pegasus as theninth launching of this year, andthe 1085th object to be orbitedsince Sputnik 1. The U. S. holdsthe record for number of detct­able objects orbited in a singlelaunch. In 1961 a rocket whichlaunched a triple satellite acci­dentally exploded some time af­ter it had ejected its payload.The latest count shows over twohundred fragments orbiting.Russian Efforts

The Soviet Union has beencontributing its share, too. Overthe past several years, they havelaunched many a probe headedfor the moon or a planet, onlyto have it blow itself into manysmall pieces. Early this year aSoviet probe added about eightypieces to the SPADATS list.

For anyone who wants to lookfor it, Pegasus will be in theevening sky around finals week.

Final steps toward initialingoptions in selected humanitiesfields at Caltech were taken Mon­day afternoon at a meeting of thefaculty. The body also startedaction on possible changing ofhumanities reqUirements for theMS degree.

The Faculty Board recom­mended to the entire faculty(who approved the proposal)that "the Institute establish cur­ricula in selected fields in theHumanities leading to a Bach­elor's degree." The degree wouldstill be a BS, and the frosh andsoph reqUirements would be thesame as for other options, thatis, all frosh courses and Ma 2,Ph 2, and H 2.Switching

In addition, 60 units of science,math, or engineering courses be­yond the sophomore year wouldbe required in these humanitiesoptions. Arrangements would bemade (as is now established po­licy) so that a student couldswitch into or out of these op-·tions without penalty until theend of his sophomore year.

The proposal must still be ap­proved by the Board of Trustees,

Editorials

Out, Out, Damned Spot!As the saying goes, "the old order must pass" and thus

this is the last issue under the control of the present EditorsTo paraphrase the editorial in our first issue, the last threeterms have been interesting.

It seems many "years" ago that the discussions concern­ing calculators in the Houses, or a snackbar occurred. The bigfuss about student tickets to the Kennedy lecture has been longforgotten (thank goodness) .

In our opinion the biggest single campaign of significanceof the Tech is the wrangle over the Beckman use fee. We areglad to see Y using the facilities of Beckman for the goodof all the students, even though it took a chance at a great fin­ancial loss. The Y still does not know whether it must pay theuse fee and thus lose hundreds of dollars. The decision mustcome from the Faculty Committee whether to allow students toeffectively use the facilities of the Institute. Just in passing,many people complained that the Y movie last Sunday was cutinto pieces, because Beckman does not have a two-projectorsystem. Why?

When the Glee Club, probably the Institute's most effec­tive public relations boon, decides to hold its concelrt in Cul­bertson instead of Beckman in order to avoid paying the usefee, something is wrong. When Institute and Student publica­tions' photographers are not allowed to take flash pictures inBeckman, something is wrong.

If the responsibility is just in the administration, then theyshould correct this wrong; if the responsibility is faculty's, thenthey shoud take action; if the responsibility is the Board ofTrustees', then they should make the correction immediately.

It has been told to us that these groups, especially thelatter two can do as they damn well please. It does not takelong around here to discover that the undergraduates are atthe bottom of the heap. We even use some of Techmen's rarehumility to ask that reason be followed in the Beckman affairfor the good of the Institute.

BRUNSWIG

The article which dismayedme was that of Mr. Brunswig,apparently ASCIT President-to­be. Either there is serious mis­information in the high places ofour student government, or Mr.Brunswig is a master of the un­apt illustration. Perhaps both."Quote."

I quote from paragraph five ofMr. Brunswig's rather uninspir­ing platform: "All this goes tosay that we are aware of enoughgood causes that no one is goingto fly to Hawaii for any debatetournaments." In his first para·graph, he promises his supportfor such popular and widely­sought sports as squash andskin-diving. First of all, I wouldlike to inform Mr. Brunswig thatthe last instance of anyone fly·ing off to Hawaii for any debatetournaments was before his col­lege days, almost a full collegegeneration ago. More import­ant, it was also a director offorensics ago. Since our new di­rector, Mr. Booth, joined the Cal­tech faculty three years ago, thedebate squad has grown fromtwo extravagant (and influential,BOD-wise) seniors who flew toHawaii the year before Mr.Booth arrived, to a large and ac­tive squad; we have acquiredforensic prestige to make a largedebate tournament, involvingsome twenty-nine schools fromas far away as Chicago, a suc­cess. Ironically, this tournamentwas reported in the same paperthat published Mr. Brunswig's

If there wasmoney to be had in it, some com­pany could make a million help­ing us to fight America's pim­ples like a man.

I can onlyconclude that the disease is ma­lignant and the sufferer far gone.So much of the book is notshacking to us. The eye nolonger sees this monstrous meta­morpho:5is-this pillage of man'saberrant enterprise, the excretaof an erupting organism notblessed with the instinctive fas­tidiousnes of the cat-whichseems to be clogging the poresof nature.

The play has on the whole toofew ups and too many downs.Once the plot begins moving, it isbearable; on the other hand, thefirst scene, between Francescaand her sister, seemed totally ir­relevant and is so long that I feltthat sehne sense of boredom Ihad when I first encountered"Waiting for Godot." Beckett in­tended this feeling; I don't thinkMandel did.

If I had to describe both theplay and the production in oneword, that word would be "pre­tentious."

Book Review

God's Own Junkyard, by PeterBlake. Holt, Pinehart & Win­ston, 1964.

BY TOM GREENFIELDThis book, a photographic ex­

pose of the rape of the Americanlandscape, is one which I canget very passionate about. It isthe book to shock a nation raisedon National Geographic, AnselAdams, and the Readers' Digestout of its blind complacency.This is the book to send the DonQuixotes of today off to burndown the billboards-or will thisbe another futile voice in thewilderness? Blake's thesis, soformidably illustrated by some150 awesome photographs, isthat "public policy, private pro­fit, and the general indifferenceof most citizens enables the de­secration of God's country tocontinue." Alan Pryce-Jones ofthe New York Herald Tribunehas described traveling in Amer­ica as a "daily pilgrimage fromone inflammation of the retinato the next."

A talk on "The Historical Bas­is of the New Testament Writ·ings" will be presented by theC a I t e c h Christian Fellowshipnext Tuesday evening, March 2,in Dabney Lounge.

The Christian religion claimshistorical revelation in the per­son of Jesus Christ, Son of God,who died for man's sins and rosefrom the dead. Thus the follow­ing questions are frequentlyasked: "What are the qualifica­tions of the supposed eye-witness­e s a s historical reporters?""How do we know that we havetheir original unaltered words?""What do non-Biblical recordssay about Christ?" "Even givenall the records, so what?"

These questions will be exam­ined by Dr. Robert Thomas, pro­fessor of New Testament at theTalbot Theological Seminary atTuesday's lecture. Thomas holdsa BA from Georgia Tech in Me­cb.anical Engineering and a ThDafter seven years of study fromDallas Theological seminary.

and that body will probably do soat its meting next Monday. If so,the change would be effectivestarting next fall, so that presentsophomores could still enter theoptions. The specific curriculaare still to be submitted by thehumanities division for facultyapproval, and it appears that atpresent options in history, econ­omics, and English will be of­fered.

The Master's program changewould allow each Division to setthe humanities requirements foritself, instead of being held to ageneral Institute requirement of27 units. The proposal would be­come effective as soon as the Fa­culty Bylaws could be amended,probably in a month or two.

Seven faculty members fromMIT, inclUding Dr.J. A. Strat­ton, MIT's president, will be oncampus today .through Saturdayfor this year's Caltech-MIT C.on­ference.

On the agenQa for the three­day meeting are discussions oncurricula, ··financing, government,and student and faculty problemsand relations at the two schools.Also scheduled are tours of JPL,Booth, and other points of inter­est.

The Caltech-MIT Conferencesare bi-annual and began aboutten years ago. The last one wastwo years ago and was ):leld atMIT. According to Dr. DuBridge,Caltech and MIT are similar inalmost all aspects except size,ahd the two schools find it veryhelpful to get together every twoyears to exchange ideas and com­pare notes.

ASCIT, by the way, is not theonly tricky, careless, and incom- .petent student body governmentaround (no, really!). Take thefollowing example from theGeorgia 'Tech Technique:

"The Student Council has longbeen noted for its independenceof action and opinion. However,we feel that they have over­reached themselves in this quar­ter's calendar by doing awaywith February 9 in favor of an­other February 2. Ask yourfriendly neighborhood represent­ative what's so good about Feb­ruary 2. If you find out, let usknow.

"In addition, they have movedValentine's Day up to February7 at Tech. This means (I guess)that you can celebrate it here oncampus with your boyfriend andthen a week later go to Emory orScott and celebrate it with a girl.Our Student Council plans forthe diversity of the students bythis perceptive innovation."

For those of you who still de­spair the tuition rise from $1575to $1800 for next year, and whowant to transfer to FriendlyState U. to avoid the high costof getting knowledge, make surethat's the only place you apply.Harvard, Stanford, Chicago anda good number of northeasternschools have beat Tech to the$1700-1800 tuition plateau byseveral years, and many otherprivate schools are not far behind.Oxy and USC are both raisingtuition to $1500 next year, androom and board will be around$1000. It's really hard to see howthe Institute can charge so "lit­tle" (relatively) and still havethe highest average faculty sa­laries in the country.

And those of you who wouldlike to sell the whole of Tech forscrap or surplus may be in forsome troubles too.

Ruddock frosh Les Fettig gotthings rolling once again with adecisive 21-4, 21-11 whipping ofPete Orsburn. Although playingon one leg because of a badlypulled muscle, Les more thanmade up for the disadvantage bycontinually smashing an unre­turnable serve into the short cor­ners of the court.

Surfer Jim Crabtree saved theLloydians from a shut-out byhandily beating Bo Barbosa, 21­15, 21-4, as both wheezed onthrough the smut.

The Caltech varsity golf teambegan its season on a losing butrather hopeful note last Mondayat the Annandale Country Club.Oxy spoiled their debut 34-20 ina match that lasted until afterdark.

Jim Beall, a sophomore, shotan 81 on the par-70 course to be­come the medalist for the hostTech team. This distinction isreserved for the low shooter onthe team. Out of a total of sixpossible points, Jim won fiveduring the 18-hole match playcontest, while playing first man,no less.

Showmanship PointsThree other members of the

team contributed points, all jun­iors. Bill Colglazier, John Vitz,and Tom Resney added six, two,and one point respectively forthe varsity. Tech's other sixpoints were accumulated in so­called team points that makegolf one of the most complicatedgames from the scoring aspect.

The course was fairly tough,with narrow fairways and num­erous traps and hills. Other­wise, however, it was fairly typi­cal of most courses. The Techgolfers will have many more op­portunities to play at Annandale,since it is their home course.

The varsity, coached by HalCassiel, was beaten by a peren­nially good Oxy team, while thefrosh had their match cancelledbecause of Washington's Birth­day. The Brookside course,where the match was scheduled,does not allow the golfers toplay on any type of holiday, sothe contest will have to beplayed next Monday.

other coup by taking third place,just behind UCLA's first team.Dan McCammon, John Hsu, andGrem Chase battled their wayinto the finals and tied with theUCLA team for second; but, af­ter losing to Valley State (thefirst place team), Caltech slippedinto third place. It was still avery remarkable victory, sinceCaltech has never before enteredan epee team in a large meet.

Due to the small size of theCaltech team, no one entered theEpee Open (an event for individ­uals) and only Carl Paul fought inthe Sabre Open, where he gothacked to pieces. The Sabreteam, consisting of Carl Paul,John Hsu, and Clem Chase, faredsomewhat better, but still lost.

The fenCing team has been try­ing to encourage more people toparticipate so that Caltech willhave a larger and more diversepool of fencers. There is goodreason to expect great successin the future, under M. Calvert'sdirection.

The Webmen swam to defeatat the hands of Pierce Junior Col­lege and a strong Santa MonicaCity College team last Thursdayin the Santa Monica mUnicipalpool. The scores were Caltech35, Santa Monica 56, and Caltech37, Pierce 54. Pierce might havebeen beaten with a full team ef­fect.

Larry Anderson won both the50 and 100 free against each op­ponent. Rich Nielson turned inhis best time (2:31) to take firstagainst Santa Monica. Pat Millerwon the breast from Pierce, post­ing a good time of 2:41.5. RodBergman took first in the divingwhile Ted Jenkins tied for firstin the 200 free, both againstPierce.

Needing only one victory inthe doubles matches, it seemedreasonably certain that Techwould win the match. This vic­tory came quickly in the thirddoubles match, where Haightand Robinson teamed togetherfor a perfect 6-0, 6-0 sweep. Thiswin proved to be a very big one,as the first doubles team of Ka­waI and Brown and the secondteam of Groth and Davidheisereach lost to more polished Oxyteams.

Redlands DefeatsTech Track Teams

Hot weather and lots of smogwere ignored by most of the par­ticipants in last Saturday's trackmeet between Caltech and Red­lands. The visiting Bulldogs,far out of Caltech's class intrack, defeated the Beavers inthe varsity division, 104-40, and98-46 in the frosh.

T e c h' s varsity, amazinglyenough, won five field events toamass the majority of the points.Led by Doug Gage, the varsitymade a respectable showing con­sidering the caliber of the op­position.

Perhaps the highlight of themeet from Caltech's point ofview was the high jump. Twosophomores and two juniors

shut out Redlands in this eventby taking the first four places.Gage won at 6' 2-3/4", only fiveinches over his head; Tom Wil­liams did two inches better thanever before by clearing 5' 11-3/4";Walt Innes and Ron Petersoneach cleared 5' 10-3/4", but Inneswas awarded third place on thebasis of few misses while poorPeterson attained the distinctionof becoming the best non-placinghigh jumper in some time.Like last year

This sweep was not totallysurprising, since Gage and Wil­liams each placed in last year'sconference finals for the varsitythe same day Innes and Peter­son turned the trick for thefrosh.

Tech accumulated first placesin the long jump and triple jumpfrom Gage, in the javelin fromCharles Sawicki, and in the dis­cus from Paul Wilson. PeteWyatt contributed a second inthe 330-yd intermediate hurdles.

CALIFORNIA TECH

Two of the outstand perform­ances by Caltech produced onlythird and fourth place finishes.Innes cleared 12' 6" in the polevault and Pete Cross ran a veryfast mile in 4:31.5.

Gasp!Several of Redlands' athletes

had good days by Tech stand­ards. Johnson tossed the shot55' 10-1/4" coming within a footof clearing the shot put area.Wyper ran the half-mile in 1:54.9without being pushed; his timeat the 660 mark was 1:23, goodenough to win in most Inter­house meets.

Larsen won the two distanceevents in the fast times of 4:17.3for the mile and 9:49.6 for thetwo-mile. In the later event hebeat teammates Kennedy andGoyette, who placed first andthird in the conference finalslast year.

The frosh meet was onlyslightly closer in score, but theraces were very much closer; infact, Tech actually won two run­ning events. However, thefreshmen are weak in severalfield events.

BY G. B.The penultimate w res t lin g

match of the season took placeon the new blue wrestling mat inthe good old Scott Brown gym­nasium Tuesday, 23 February1965, pitting the pretzel-bendersof Tech against the grapplers ofL. A. City C.ollege.

LACC showed up with fivewrestlers for eight classes (123,130, 137, 147, 157, 167, 177, heavy­weight), thus forfeiting threematches (according to my light­ning fast, calibrated by MW su­per-computer) .

Hayamizu, at 130, started offby being pinned by Gray exactlyhalf-way through the second peri­od after staving off disaster dur­ing almost the entire first period.Fujimura won by forfeit but dida fine job in an exhibition matchwith Gray. At 147, Faulconer dida fine job of decisioning a some­what inexperienced, but incredi­bly strong and durable, Bowser.

Frosh SwishersWin, Then Lose

Caltech's frosh basketball teamfinished the season with a blazeof glory - during three firsthalves, that is. In a game at LaVerne Saturday, the Beaverswere able to hang on for a 59-50win, but the contests against Red­lands last Tuesday and Whittiera week later were not quite asfortuitous.

A strong all-around effort withTerry Bruns and Jim Stanleyscoring 17, and Carl Fink 10,earned the frosh their sixth winof the season against La Verne.The game was close all the wasthrough, but Caltech's unflinch­ing balance and height superior­ity proved to be the difference.

Redlands and Whittier bothwere quite surprised when thescore at halftime read only 32-27and 26-24 respectively in theirfavtor. Unfortunately, each timethe Beavers were unable to staywithin striking distance as thegreat shooting of the first andthe pressing defense of the sec­ond were too much for them.

The final count was 74-60, infavor of Redlands in the first con­test; Bruns led the Caltech scor­ers with 17, w h i I e Stanleychipped in 14, and Fink and JohnFrazzini each swished 12. Whit­tier ran up an 85-60 score againstthe frosh. There, Stanley washigh with 20; Frazzini, Bruns,and Max Elbaum followed with10 each.

The feature match of the eve­ning was one John Stevens ver­sus Richardson of LACC at 157.Stevens, a somewhat inexperi­enced frosh, was at a decided dis­advantage as Richardson proceed­ed with a rapid take-down.Fourth!

Richardson was a somewhat vi­cious, though entirely legal,wrestler and seemed to punishStevens a great deal in the firstperiod and managed to be award­ed two near faUs. The amazingaspect of this was Stevens' abil­ity to "bridge," i.e. to keep atleast one shoulder off the mat.Although I did not exactly timeit, he semed to be bridging forat least half the first period andmost of the second until he wasfinally pinned at 2:33 of the sec­ond period. This staying powerdoes not come easily and is onesymptom of an exceptional per­formance.

Woodhead at 167 again livedup to reputation by pinningChess of LACC when he blinkedhis eyes after 1:23 of the firstperiod.

And if you are one of thosewho "really cares" about suchfoolishness, and everything elseat Tech, maybe you really belongat Xavier University where theStudent Council recently voted18-1 to approve a new ApathyClub. The new club pledges it­self to "vegetate, thus makingany worthwhile project or en­deavor on campus as much afailure as posible." The club willnot be terribly active, however,as one of its primary rules callsfor the dismissal of anyone at­tending the monthly meeting.The club's motto is "All for meand me for none." In showin~ASCIT-like consistency, the Xavi­er Student Council had stronglyapproved only a week before amotion supporting deeper studentinterest in activities.

While on the subject of incom­petence, I'd like to welcome anew member into the bankruptpapers club to take the Tech'splace (at long last). An editorialin the January 29 Antioch Col­lege Record explained that theRecord was severely limiting itssize, features, and news coveragebecause it had overspent its bud­get by $1000 during first semesterand anticipated a similar fate inthe second semester. Have fun,guys, and good luck.

platform.Thus, my argument is that the

forensic program is perhaps al·most as worthy of support as isa squash .... and skin-diving pro­gram.. I would even dare to sug­gest that it is more worthy.

In any case, it is incumbentupon Mr. Brunswig and all oth­er ASCIT officers-to-be to consid­er present programs on theirpresent merits, without regardto ancient history. I wouldhardly expect Mr. Brunswig tobe able to answer for all the mis­takes of all his predecessors.

Editors:Your editorial entitled "Milli­

kan Mess" exhibits little but ajaundiced eye and a provincialmind. In a somewhat insidiousmanner the idea appears to havecirculated that if Milikan is com­pleted as planned· it will be re­pUlsive because of a clash withexisting buildings ("grand oldSpanish tile and vaulted ceil­ings") and not because of intrin­sic ugliness, as you put it. Allthe way through the editorialwe see such contrasts as "mo­dernistic sore thumb" in juxta­position to "modest three storyMediteranean buildings." Theeffect is to completely distortreality and prejudice the reader.

I view the campus as one ofthe most inharmonious blends ofinelegant styles, superposed andamalgamated to produce one ofthe triumphantly horrible hybridsI have had the joy seeing. Itseems as if each succeeding gen­eration of B&G-it is fitting thatthey should contrive and controlthis remarkbale developrnent­outdoes the last in gradiloquenceand ostentation. The chief qual­ity of our architects is their pro­digious facility at icing the cake.Beckman has paved the way forgreater things, and now we areto find a place in the sun. Yousay, "space is so limited therethat . . . the edifice had to bemade tall." Not had to: must,for this is the way we must pur­sue that manifest destiny. WithMillikan, We will rise to newhights (sic), to win once againthe distinction of the annualPasadena Beautiful Award. Letus deserve to be great.
