for ASCIT, Rhodes replied thatthere are still many things to bedone, particularly with the relation of' grad students to ASCITand to undergrads, and with theStudent Houses. Rhodes feelshas reached the point Where itthat the ASCIT Research Projectcan be independent of ASCIT finances. But he thinks that theProject should remain an ASCITrun operation. The most important thing is to consolidate andcontinue ASCIT's present programs.

among world scholars.Among the 433 signers of the
statement are Nobel Prize-winner Alfred Kastler; Field Prizewinner Laurent Schwartz; Shoichi Sakata, Nobel Prize in Physics; Shinichiro Tomonaga, NobelPriz'2 in Physics; and Hideki Yukawa, Nobel Prize in Physics.
The statement especially des i g nat e d university-based research in chemical and biologicalwarfare and other techniques ofwarfare against civilian populations as a "grave violation" ofprofessional ethics. The signerssupported those numerous American scholars who have opposedthe war in Vietnam.
The declaration, which was initiated by a number of scholarsincluding Prof. Laurent Schwartzof the University of Paris, is alsoa response to the controversyover military and classified research which has wracked somany American universities inthe past two years. In fiscal 1967the Defense Department allocated $449 million in research contracts to American universities,and in the prior year over 40 universities he'!d contracts for chemical warfare research. In the pastyear, however, such schools asthe University of Pennsylvania,Cornell, New York University,and Minnesota have moved toeliminate such research.A Messiah?

body," Rhodes said. "The concerns of ASCIT are in my mind,and I'm too personally involvednot to let the student body decideif they want me to remain in office.
"Participation in student government is not only an honor but210'0 a job. Students in a groupare more effective in action thanare individuals, so we haveASCIT. The BOD should be responsible to the students, but itmust lead."
When asked about his plans
Over 400 French and Japaneseuniversity scientists appealed totheir American colleagues Mon~
day to refuse to allow their universities to be used for militaryand secret research. Citing the"ethical and professional responsibilities" of the world scientiflccommunity to refuse to willinglypermit their discoveries to beutilized for destructive purposes,the foreign scholars indicatedthat a continuation of militaryfunctions on American campuseswould "lead to the determinationof an ever-growing number ofworld scientists and universitiesto interrupt their relations" withinvolved U. S. universities, endangering traditional scientifice x c han g e s and conferences
tive films, displays, discussions,and debates. The event was coordinated by David Lloyd-Jones,a long-haired editor from theCollege Press Service, whoserved as director for the affair.
The conference marked a radical departure from previous onesin that it neglected to deal withthe fundamentals of journalismin order to probe the role of themass media in shaping worldevents. A release from USSPAdated December 6 1967 summedup the purpose of th meeting inthis warning to prospective delegates: "This conference will notteach you to write headlines ornews leads. If that's what you'reafter, forget it. But it will hopefully teach you some thingswhich will help you produce abetter newspaper by discussingcommunications roles and functions, as well as serving to generate new thinking concerningthe role campus newspapersshould play."
It was apparent that some ofthe delegates either had notheeded this warning or were unwilling to have their thinking"generated" in a new direction,for many were visibly discontented with the progress of theproceedings. This faction satcontentedly through almost twodays of the affair before they annihilated the remainder of theconference in a whirlwind ofprotests and threatened walk-

Amid much speculation as towhether or not he would runagain, A SCI T President JoeRhodes announced his candidacyfor re-election on Tuesday. Although the deadline for applications is February 12, only sixTeckers have decided to be candidates. As of Tuesday, juniorChris Dede (Ri) had applied forthe vice-presidency, sophomoresBill Nichols (Ru) and Mike Stefanko (El) had entered for IHCChairman, and freshmen MikeFelland (El) and Nicholas Smith(Pa) had nominated themselvesto be Representative-at-Large.
The Excomm proposals for thereorganization of the BOD havebeen put off until April, so theoffices remain the same. Othervacancies to be filed in the February 20 elections are secretary,treasurer, activities chairman, social chairman, athletic manager,BOC secretary, and editor of theCalifornia Tech. The applicationand $4 filing fee should be submitted to ASCIT Secretary Gavien Miyata.
This year the usual waitingand last-minute decisions by candidates were compounded bytheir waiting to see if Rhodeswould seek a s'econd term. Hischoice was made after much deliberation, as he tried to add upthings good and bad for ASCITand for himself personally.

Oath ChangeEditor:
Since third term last year, theBoard of Control has been considering the relation of the oathgiven to those appearing beforethe Board to the ideals of theHonor System as well as' the individual requirements of' e a c hcase. Specifically, the Board feelsthat the clause pertaining to secrecy should not be included inthe oath and that Article VII,Section 4j should therefore bechanged to read, "The oath takenby all persons' appearing beforethe Board of Control shall be: 'Ido solemnly swear to tell thetruth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.''' Thus thelast clause, "and to reveal nothing that happens in these meetings," would be deleted.
The Board feels' that, ratherthan an oath of secrecy, the following paragraph should be inserted at the end of Appendix Ain the Honor System booklet inorder to better express the idealsthat the secrecy clause was intended to promote:
"All those appearing be'forethe Board, and the Board itself,are expected to maintain absolute secrecy regarding case meetings of the BOC. The re'ason isprimarily one of protecting thedefendant. Therefore, should thedefendant wish to discuss the issues involved in his case withothers, he may do so at anytime.However, once the defendantinitiates discussion, witnesses inthe case are no longer bound tosecrecy. The Board will s tillmaintain secrecy except as procided in Section 4i above."
The Board of Control unanimously recommends that the Bylaws change adopting the revisedoath be approved by the members of ASCIT.

Editor:Although it is not usual f'or
candidates to announce theircandidacy in the Tech, I feelthat we are not in a normal situation. After a great deal of discussion and deliberation, I haddecided to run for IHC Chairmanabout three days before the lastissue of the Tech. Last week'seditorial covered every reason Ihad for running.
The undergraduate students ofCaltech are living in conditionswhich are crying for improvement. We can improve the foodservice, the health service, theHouses, and every other phase ofstudent life. All that is needed isstudent awareness. And we cangain that awareness the Academic Reform Groups showed that,and the Research Project is alsoshowing signs of' student awareness.
The common ingredient isunity. The IHC can and !'Ihouldbe the basis of that unity. Itmust also now become the basisfor power.
The faculty makes the Institute, but the students sustain it.The students must unite behinda revialized IHe. to attain theirgoals. The IHC must move backto what it once was-the strongest body on campus.

consisted of a man (offscreen)unsnarling an unbelievably messed-Up fishing reel, and occasionally muttering some semi-rational sentence. After several minutes of monotony, this reviewerdecided to use the film experience as an experiment in groupbehavior. At first the audiencelaughed nervously, then, as it became obvious that nothing wasgoing to happen (literally!), theybecame restless. In one respectthe film was fantastic - it wasso static that no one watching itcould get bored. Something hadto happen, but nothing did, andone waited for the action whichnever came, yet had to come.

S.O.S., Dow Chemical,And Caltech to Meet
by Dave LewinWhat's happening with the
cinema today? The Caltech FilmGroup, alias Cinema-Tech, presented last Saturday a programof recent experimental films todemonstrate that not all that'sgood in films must be foreign.The program was preceded by anepisode of a Flash Gordon serial,to wit, "Space Soldier's Trip toMars." This item was appropriately received by the audience,and a light mood, which gradually disappeared as the programwent on, was set.
The first item on the bill wasa short starring the world famous mime Marcel Marceau. Without a word of dialogue, Marcelmanaged to convey first thestory of David and Goliath, thenthat of a butterfly collector. Hisstyle was beautiful, so simple thathis actions were stripped to thebarest possible motions neededto convey his story, and at timeshis body s·eetned a cohesive, undulating fluid.
Next came a program of shortexperimental films on the theme"For Life and Against the War."Some of these films, which hadbeen created for the Angry ArtsWeek protest against the war inVietnam, were exceptionally effective in getting their poi n tacross, though many were justa jumble of symbols, too denseto be meaningfUl. The two mosteffective were "The W 0 r d," aminute-long animation of theword "fuck" ending with an almost subliminal "hooray," and ashort piece wherein a man goesthrough the motions of a quietnight at home, while all aroundhim snipers and guerrillas runthrough his frame cubicle.
Robert Nelson's technical monsterpiece, "The Awful Backlash"was an exercise in planned futility. Comparable only to AndyWarhol's eight-hour film of aman sleeping, "Awf'lll Backlash"
Monday the Dow Chemical Company will be recruiting atCaltech. Last year, Dow was picketed because of its napalmproduction, while counterpickets stood up for Dow. This yearthe newly-formed Caltech chapter of Students for a DemocraticSoicety plans to picket Dow.
We hardly expect to see anything more Monday than thesame peaceful demonstrating which accompanied Dow's visitlast year. Indeed, were anything of the order of the UCLA orCal State at L.A. affairs to take place, we would be astonished.
On the one hand, Caltech, like any other university, shoulduphold the right of free speech for anyone. We must rememberthat in the spring Miss Bettina Aptheker spoke here; certainlyher views did not coincide with those of everyone else on campus.But nevertheless, she was accorded all due courtesy and therewere no repercussions to her visit. This was quite different fromthe fiasco that occured subsequent to her visit to the Universityof Redlands. Certainly the protection of free speech will be thereason given for anyone's right to peaceably recruit, picket, ordemonstrate on the Caltech campus.
But there is another side to the question. For anyone whois emphatic in his belief that the policies of an institution, be itthe United States Government or Dow Chemical, are leading toirreparable harm, and that moreover political persuasion will beof no avail in correcting those policies, civil disobedience maybe the only way to provoke a change. The Nuremberg Trialsjustified this idea in an extreme situation, but in the face ofnuclear holocaust, who can say that any "brush fire" is not anextreme situation?
So we see the two main sides to the question. Our hope isthat we live in a land where the protection of free speech is theway to satisfactory policies.

"What does that have to withit?"
"Well, the Institute figures itcan put all of the chef traineesand other amateurs on the newequipment and still get something edible, while it takes a realpro to handle the old, brokendown equipment in the sou t hdorms' kitchens. Thus, the southdorms get all of the expert foodservice people."

1n the far-off future, Huttenback sees the admission of morehumanities students as a greatbenefit to the school. But thegreatest improvement can comeonly fnlm the efforts and initiative of the students, which is deplorably lacking. Huttenbacksays he can't do anything byhimself, but that he can supportany student projects.
More mixing of the undergraduates with the grad students isone possible measure to improvematters. Another is to havesome unstructured Houses (inother words, dorms) for thosewho prefer that kind of livingand to leave the rest of theHouses as they are now. Also,the Institute could pay a few ofthe favorite T.A.'s room andboard to live in the Houses inaddition to the RA.'s.

of the war in Vietnam, a fiscallyconservative mood prevails inCongress, and cutbacks are expected in nearly all of the Adoministration's requests.
-Higher education presentlyis suffering not only from thelack of sufficient appropriationsin Fiscal 1968, but also from theacross-the-board cutbacks in federal spending ordered by Congress late last year. Higher education construction funds, forexample, were cut by about $150million this year, about one-thirdof the entire year's budget appropriation.
Wilbur Cohen, Undersecretaryfor the Department of Health,Education, and Welfare, described the Administration's budget request as "large but constrained." He said the Administration decided to give priorityto "programs involving peopleand research rather than tobricks and mortar."

As Barrelmaker's sight adjusted to the glare, he could see thatthey indeed had him covered "they" being 17 members of thecampus security force. The captain of the force - a tall, muscular man - advanced.

all the delegates watching aseerningly endless stream of provocative films that generallydumped on Vietnam, the nucleararms race, and racial discrimination. Coupled with these was akeynote discussion on Fridaymorning which rambled on withpaltitudes and pathos but was,in this reporter's opinion, a stimulating undertaking. Friday afternoon's activities were more direct, and consisted of a "numberof concurrent games, displays,and exchanges." Several prominent and controversial authorsand personalities presented filmsor displays of topics of importance such as the growth of thecity, the current trends of educational techniques, and thegoals of the civil rights movement. These were followed bydisc:ussi"ns of the role of thep" eSS in cuvering these issues.

Beavers Down Pac. Christianby Creasy
The Caltech Beavers, out·classed frequently in cage contests this year, have found anopponent which they can outclass. And Tuesday night theydid exactly that as they overpowered Pacific Christian College 103-54 in a non-conferencetilt. The victory brought Tech'srecord to 3-14 for the season; theBeavers are 0-7 in conferenceplay. Pacific Christian is one ofthe few teams that Caltech hasfaced this year which was at adisadvantage in height, weight,and depth (Pacific Christian hadonly six players suited for thegame). The Beavers took advantage of their advantages andcame through wtih their mostproductive game of the season.They didn't fare as well in othergames last week, however, asthey were defeated by Redlandsand Cal Baptist.
Bruns and Stanley were theonly Beavers in the teens with13 and 14 points respectively.

Developing institutions includethe many small Negro collegesand other schools which benefitfrom cooperative relationships including exchange of facilitieswith larger universities. And under proposed legislation, Congress will be requested to authorize support for the sharing ofcollege and university resources,especially those requiring largeinvestments for specialized libraries, computer services, andcurriculum development.

Tech Research Project was born.None dismayed by the fact thatmany people had been workingfor a long time to conquer airpollution without terrible success, these fellows, who supposedly were also full time students, decided they would tacklethe problem with Wally Jet Engine's car, their energy and drivefor attention, and everybodyelse's money. A project as highsounding as this naturally attracted a little more attentionfrom some of the other students'but as usual most of the othe;stUdents, if they thought aboutthe matter at all, thought it wassilly. Some of the professorswondered if these student leaderswere really such dreamers to believe that the school would payfor their games after the moneythey had taken from the otherstudents was used up.
Meanwhile the student leadersheld meetings and consulted witheach other and made sure thateveryone who would pay attention was. They devised plans tospend enormous sums of moneybut when no one would give it tothem and they had already spentmore than they had, they figuredthey could get by with only$10,000 for five months. And sobegan the "War On Smog." Thearming for the war consisted ofbuying new batteries for WallyJ. E.'s car with the money takenfrom all the other students. Oneof the first attacks would comein the form of a race of thespeedy war wagon across thecountry, against an electric carto be built by a rival school onthe other side of the countrywhich would start there anddrive to Tech. Those familiarwith racing might at first thinkthat a race like this would provenothing, since the cars would besubjected to different conditions.Thlis apparently didn:t botherWall y J. E. and the student leaders. Perhaps the studentleaders thought this was unimportant since it would not cutdown on the attention they recieved or the amount of otherstudents' money they co u 1dspend. Perhaps Wally J. E. didn'tthink. Perhaps he thought it wasunimportant because his car wasso slow. It could run at 52 milesper hour for about an hour, thenhad to rest for an hour. WallyJ. E. thought he could make it inabout 100 hours, for an averageof 27 miles per hour. (excitingrace!) This would also give manystudent leaders a chance to get'attention by working the rechargE' stations. Some people didn't. understand how this wouldcombat smog. Most people didn'trealize what a horrendous jokethe whole thing was on the restof the student body whose money was being used up and whowerE' actually liable for all thebills Wally Jet Engine and hispals might run up.
Barry KellerMr. Keller's crude attack needs
little comment on other than substantive grounds; we will refrainfrom the gutless character attackwhich he employs.
In criticizing the ASCIT Re&'earch Project, Mr. Keller usesMr. Wally Rippel as a convenientscapegoat. He seems unawarethat at first the Project had centered its interests on world foodproduction and only later decidedto attack the problem of smog.
Now let us con&ider his mainthesis. Approximately 100 students are involved in the Re

J. E. built an electric car out ofa Volkswagen bus. The community was very impressed with theamazing things those Tech boys'were doing and the people whowere involved in student government were impressed since thecar called outside attention tothem as well. Most of the students weren't too impressed,especially after they heard thecar go.
Up until this time the studentgovernment had taken moneyfrom the student body to covertheir operating expenses, whichdidn't upset anyone very muchbecause it was accepted that aschool would support such an organization. They also too kmoney from the student body,which was not very large, to buyexpensive jackets and sweatersand blankets for athletes whoparticipated in sports which fewpeople cared much about exceptthe athletes themselves. This upset a few more people, but this,too, was something accepted fora school to do.
The Wall y J. E. camealong and decided he neededmore money for his electric car.At the same time the people inthe student government decidedthey needed more attention. Acombined effort would clearly beto the advantage of both. So the

But these people didn'trealize how silly they wouldhave looked in the eyes of theother students, had the other students looked. All this went onvery smoothly and without problem for a long time, since thestudent leaders were fairly harm-'less.
Then one year there was arather obnoxious engineeringstudent named Wally Jet Engine.Wally J. E. first came to attention in his engineering classes byasking ridiculous questions atgreat length to the amusementor sometimes irritation of hisprofessors and fellow students.Once he thought he had inventeda revolutionary new kind ofrocket, which was in reality sooff base that his profes'Sor wasalmost incredulous. But peoplelike this were not really too uncommon at this school, which wewill call "Tech," and nobody tookgreat notice of Wally J. E. inmore than a humorous' way.

then moved on to Vietnam, andwhen Lloyd-Jones sensed thatthe session was getting out ofhand, he adjourned it and immediately a collage of news clipsfrom Vietnam battlefronts wasprojected upon the walls of themeting hall. Childish cries of"point of order" were raised asseveral delegates rushed the podium. Members of Drop City, Colorado (a hippie village), whowere invited to the conference,were accused by the body of disrupting the conference, Jones dispersed the session, but the delegates never recovered.
Just after dinner on Saturdaynight Senator Eugene McCarthyappeared for a press conference.Ray Mungo, an editor of the Liberation News Service (an underground press UPI), led agroup of leftists who protestedMcCarthy's views with a rush onthe platform. At the end of theinterview the radicals brought acoffin filed with McCarthy campaign buttons and an Americanflag before the stage and dumpedits contents on the floor.

One result will be "the breaking down of barriers to accomplishment." We will find that"our relationship to God can berecognized and l:ltilized in unlimited opportunity."

Being even more precise, noASCIT dues were used for theProject. The original $1000 wasgiven to ASCIT by the Institutefor advanced planning. Furthe,l"more, the Project has already reoceived another $1000 from the Institute and $1000 from TrusteeSimon Ramo.

"A scientific understanding ofthe spiritual relationship between God and man" is not onlypossible but "practical in dailyaffairs."
This was the thesis presentedat Winnett Lounge yesterday ina Christian Science lecture byPaul A. Erickson, C.S.B., of' Chicago.
Constructive human accomplishments will become far greater, the lecturer said, when mengain more spiritual insight intowhat "our individual relationshipto God really is."
HE' stated that a deeper "acknowledgment of God" is the ultimate solution to all problems.
"From this basis we're able toclaim all the resources of ourdivine origin. We can begin torecognize our unlimited capacities."
ThE' lecture was sponsored bythe Christian Science Organization, a student group on campuS.It was titled "You and God!"
Mr. Erickson quoted VictorHugo: "Most of us don't get outof ourselves the one one-thousandth part of what is in us."
This is the problem we all face,said the lecturer. Spirituallystated, it means we must learn"how the laws of God governman and the universe. And howthese laws, when properly understood and applied, b r in goutwhat's inside us."
HE' cited this statement by theDiscoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy:"A knowledge of the Science ofbeing develops the latent abilit"ies and possibilities of' man. ItE' X ten d s the atmosphere ofthought, giving mortals access tobroader and higher realms.
