"All I know is that it will bethe hairiest riot of the year,"beamed Don Owings, ASCITRally Commissioner. The pa­jama·clad festivities will beginon the soccer field with thelighting of the bonfire, followedby the introduction of the var­sity team by Coach Bert LaBru­cherie. The Caltech Band, ledby Al Forsythe, and the newsong queens, Leah Holley, Wen­dy Hilmer, Dorothy Lewis, andCarol Benveniste, will be pre­sented by head cheerleader JohnBard.

New CheerleadersAssisting Bard in leading "cool

cheers" will be Jon Kelly, MikeJenkins, Doug Shakel, and FrankGreenman. Expecting a success­ful season, the cheerleaders willpresent several new yells in ad­dition to brushing up the troopson the old yells. Everyone whoattends will wear pajamas for aparade following the rally.

The parade, which will includethe band and song queens, willfollow a line of march downCalifornia to Lake, up Lake toColorado, and down Colorado tothe State Theatre, where allseats are served for a specialshOWing of the present bill­"Island in the Sun" and "SilkStockings." According to Ow­ings, each man must present astudent body card, although itwas felt that anyone shoWing upin pajamas would doubtless beadmitted.

The program has been sched­uled so that all those interestedwill be back at the studenthouses in time to see the finalfreshman preference lists. Theparade will return to Tech, stillpajama-clad, to top off the eve­ning with end-of-rotation partiesin the various houses. It was feltby the Rally Commission thatthe Pajamarino will return againto the tremendous popularity itonce enjoyed.

Sinsheinerioins Caltechfaculty ranks

by Rolf RichterOn July 11, another outstand­

ing scholar was added to Tech'salready famous faculty rosterwith the addition of Dr. RobertL. Sinsheiner as professor of bio­phYsics.

Sinsheiner has already spentsix months at Caltech in 1953as a Senior Research Fellow. Hereceived all his degrees at MIT,the PhD in 1948, after which hewas a faCUlty member at IowaState College.

He has made important andoriginal contributions to ourknowledge of the chemistry ofnUCleic acids - the heredity-de­termining material in plants, ani­mals and viruses. He is an ex­pert . in the development anduse of modern biophysical tech­niques and intensely interestedin the current attempts to es­tablish the proper connectionsbetween molecular structure andgenetic function.

On the more personal side,golfing and hiking occupy hisspare time between work andhis family, which includes threechildren. He enjoys classical mu­sic, the theatre, ballet, modernart, and baseball and footballgames. His main problem is get­ting used to the California eli·mate.

Competition for Fulbright andBuenos Aires Convention schol­arships for graduate s t 'U d yabroad during the 1958-1959 yearwill close on November l.

Eligibility requirements forthese foreign study fellowshipsare United States citizenship, acollege degree or its equivalentby the time that the award willbe used, knowledge of the lan­guage of the country of applica­tion and good health. Preferencewill be given to applicants under35 years of age.

Interhouse cross-country. I II IIIS no onger sport

Jt WaS our understanding that ot the end of lost year theInterhouse Committee made some definite recommendationst<;> the athletic department concerning inerhouse sports. Prin­Ciple among these was the recommendation that interhousecross-country be dropped, either in favor of some more uni­versally popular sport or entirely.

The. interhouse cross-country season begins a week fromtomorrow.

Cross-country is considered by the houses to be (jn ex­tremely poor sport ot best. It was the feel ing of those inter­viewed informally that there were few men, if any at all, whoran cross-country because it was. enjoyable. The interhousecross-country meets are Won each year by freshmen who areabout to go out for intercollegiate running, or by experiencedupperclassmen who ore eligible by some quirk. The greatmajority of men running are doing so because of a feeling ofresponsibility to their house, and nothing more.

How can a sport which requires the specialized skills ofonly three men compare in value to a sport of the caliber of

Completion of new buildingsdelayed until second term

Two new buildings-SpauldingEngineering Lab and YoungHealth Center-Will be in useby second term according toWesley Hertenstein, head of thePhysical Plant Department.

Completion of the buildings,originally planned for the begin·ning of the school year, was de·layed by the Southern Californiabuilding workers' strike.

Included will be three class­rooms, seating a total of 92. Aninnovation in two of these willbe the use of long, permanentlymounted tables instead of desks.Students will sit behind thesetables on swivel chairs.

The student health service willmove from its present crampedquarters to a new location nextto Tournament Park, on 'ArdenStreet. The modern building in·eludes an infirmary with fourdouble roms and two isolationwards, in addition to a kitchen,physiotherapy and X-ray facili­ties, three treatment rooms, apsychiatrist's office and a largelounge. It has 50% more floorspace than the old quarters.

Construction was financed byan anonymous contributor andby Mrs. Archibald B. Young inmemory of her husband.

Plan Other BuildingsAlthough some plans have not

been completed, construction offurther buildings is held up be­cause insufficient funds havebeen donated. The buildingsplanned include:

Three new student houses for270 men and a cafeteria serving200, to be built north of the pres­ent houles. The houses will be"similar in quality" to the pres­ent ones, except that more dou­ble rooms, no individual wash­bowls and simpler ~rchitecturewill keep the costs reasonable.

A Student Union. This may bebuilt as a wing of the Synchro­tron, at its north end. It willalso provide offices for ASCrT.

softball or football, where teams of 9 or 11 are backed up byperhaps twiCe that n\Jmber of reserves? Of what value to theaverage house member is cross-country? How does it fit intothe philosophy of providing participation in competition forall those house members who are unable to join in intercol­legiate sports or who do not feel themselves sufficiently skilledto compete on a varsity team? The answer tothese questionsis clearly th is: interhouse cross country is not a sport of thecaliber required for an interhouse sport; if it cannot be replacedby another sport, it should at least be discontinued.!

The majority of houses felt that were another fiflst termsport really necessary, one such as wrestling could proviqe par­ticipation for at least twenty men from each house. Wrestlingis a sport which requires no special skills; even the lightestman in the student body has a chance to win in his weight class.Wrestling is something which is enjoyed by the av,erage indi­vidual, and it is certainly a wholesome form of competition notavailable on an intercollegiate basis. The atheletic departmenthas stated the sufficient space. is not available; however, it isour opinion that the houses would gladly arrange for their ownpractice space, requiring only that the one mat in the gymbe available for a single day's tournament.

Itis a shame that the In.terhouse Committee has let itselfbe pushed around by the athletic department. There 'is nogood reason for preserving cross-country as an interhouse sport;if it cannot be replaced by something more of a team sport, itshould be discontinued altogether. >

France also turned down aconference offer by the AlgerianNationalists, even though thelatter did not insist on a guar­antee of independence this time.The Nationalists now intend totake their case before the UN.Meanwhile, the U.S., fearing So­viet aid, expressed its desire thatTunisia, which is naturally sym­pathetic with Algeria, be armed.

a erAre high taxes reducing your incentive to work harder and earn more?

IF YOU'RE ONE of the more than 65 millionAmericans who hold down a job, you probablywork about 40 hours a week.

But did you ever stop to consider that taxesare so high today you work for yourself only27 of those 40 hours? The other 13 go to payyour share of the cost of government.

No one expects to live without taxes,obviously. But when they take more than $110billion, or about one dollar out of every threeearned, something's wrong.

You pay these taxes in more ways than youknow, too.

Ifyou lived in California, for instance, made

$7,500 last year, and listed a wife and twochildren as dependents, you were taxed theseways to start with: Federal income $875, SocialSecurity $95, State income $25, Property tax$325, Auto license tax $4{), State and Localsales tax $75 and Telephone tax $10.

This adds up to $1445 and it's only thebeginning.

Did you buy a car? Figure another $175 tax.The tax on the gasoline to run your car was atleast $65. You also paid a 10% tax every timeyou bought a plane or train ticket or spent adollar at the movies.

And you're still not through. Because everv

company that made anything you bought hadto'~ pay taxes on practically everything thatwent into the product.

These thousands of indirect taxes were eventuallypassed on to you as part oj the cost ojyour purchases.

The result? At least one-third of what youearned went to pay some form of taxes.

The real danger is obvious: taxes this highmay be so discouraging that you have lessincentive to work harder, earn more moneyand produce more.

YOUR CO~MENTS ARE INVITED. Write: The Chairmanof the Board, Union Qil Company, Union Oil Building,617 West 7th Street, Los Angeles 17, California.

by Bob BlandfordAny crit~c must be prudent

beca:use in his enthusiasm todamn he is likely to over~ate

his case. For criticism of a socialinstitution to be valid, the criticmust "get inside" the institutionand then be honest, searching,and objective. Also it is good fora critic to recommend practicalalternatives to situations he doesnot like,

In the next two or three arti­cles I want to criticize someroot assumptions of honor sys­tems. I do not believe that thereis anything disastrous in theway we at Caltech regulate ourlives by the honor system. Butthere are several ways I can seethat we could improve with re­spect to achieving our ends.

Perhaps a few people believethat the honor system is nearlyperfect and that argUing with itspostulates is dangerous, but Ido not. In what follows I hopeto borrow from the Indian phil­osopher, Radjakrishman: "Thedifference between mechanicalmorality and true virtue is thedelicate insight into the realitiesof the situation."

First, then, I want to examinethe ends and means of honorsystems and proctoring methods,and then to report how success­fully they attain their ends incolleges throughout the nation.After these preliminaries, I hope

Actually, this epic was titled"X the Unknown," but the audi­ence soon forgets such details inthe excitement over rampaging,raving - mad muck. H a v in gworked giant grasshoppers overten or twelve times, Hollywoodevidently felt the need for a newmenace to the free world. Andpresto, up it oozes from a sinis­ter crack in the earth's surface.With deadly precision, this self­propelled sod searches out radio­active "food," sucks it dry, andreturns to its pit, soon to suckagain. Naturally, it's fiercelyradioactive, so a few people getmelted down in the process. Mostinspirational scene is where apreacher saves a ,small childfrom a last game of mUd-pies.(I'd like to see that preacher'snext couple of kids.)

Anyway, the menace is neu­tralized in the end (a funnyway), and Hollywood is saved tospawn another terror.

by Steve Emanuel

While last weekend's game against Riverside could hardly becalled a test of the playing skill of the varsity football team, it didpoint out a couple of signirlcant items, items which could make abig difference in the fortunes of the team for the season.

First, the backfield as a whole is the equal of any in the league.The speed and agility of Dick Van Kirk, Don Stocking, Art Takido,Forsen, and Ed Krehbiel are enough to give any defense a bad time.With the possible exception of Krehbiel, who due to a knee injury

won't see action for a couple of weeks, no ohe is really outstanding.It's the combination of having any four of the five playing at thesame time that gives the Beavers their best backfield in years.

Second, the line, as is typical of most Caltech lines, does notseem to have the ferocity and meanness that one associates withcollege football teams. They do their job well enough and sincerelywant to win, but the urge to smash the other \fellow for the purepleasure of sinashing is not there. While this may not be a definiteliability, I don't see how it can be much of an asset.

Ricketts vieswith Throop

by Dave SingmasterThe Interhouse softball season

descends upon the houses in afew days with the opening gamenext Monday.

Ricketts and Throop are mostoptimistic of their chances. Ma­roon captain Dave Leeson re­ports, "We're gonna sma s heverybody." The Ricketts teamappears well rounded with ca­pable and experienced men atevery position. Lou Montoya andCarl Morris form a battery sec·ond only to that of Throop Club.

Throop, upon. being informedof Leeson's statement, said, "Wegot a rock, better than last year's(which tied for first with Rick·etts). We'll give Leeson two toone on anything." Throop's hopesappear based on pitcher Bob Em­merling and a strong, experi­enced squad.

Blacker's fielding appears okaybut the big hole at the moundis yet to be filled. Don Sternsays, "We ought to play thepitcher at short; we'd have a tre·mendous defensive team."

THE CALIFORNIA TECH

by Dick Van Kirk

* * *Concerning tomorrow's game

with Redlands, any sort of a pre·diction would be pure guess·work, as the Bulldogs and Cal­tech 'are both as yet unknownquantlties. The Beavers havemet no real opposition and willbe playing without sparkplugEd Krehbiel, while Redlands, de·fending SCC champs, lost theiropening games to Barstow andArizona State at Flagstaff andwere forced to cancel last week'sgame with La Verne due to a nuoutbreak among squad members.If the Bulldogs have recoveredfrom their illnesses, they maybe the ones to halt Caltech's two·game winning streak.

• • •"Experts" Wrong

One final note of thanks tothe football "experts" on thestaff of the Pasadena Independ­ent, local newspaper. Three offour '''experts'' picked Riversideover Caltech in last week's pre·dictions. Evidently the Caltechathletic reputation of spasticityand twitchiness has pervadedthe normally unbiased and alertminds of the local journalisticgiants. Thanks for all your con­fidence in the local team, boys.

Saturday's season opener forthe varsity football squad wasan unfortunate experience forseveral people, notably the Riv­erside players and fans and Cal·tech fullback Ed Krehbiel. Riv­erside lost the distinction of be·ing unbeaten, untied, and un·scored upon, an honor whichthey held after defeating CalBaptist 31-0 the week before, andKrehbiel lost the opportunityto play football for an indefiniteperiod of time, due to a kneeinjury suffered on the fourthplay in which he carried theball. On his four carries he to·taled an impressive 60 yards netgain, and it is a reasonably safeassumption that had the Beaversbeen facing a more formidable.opponent the loss of Krehbielmight have been extremely dis­astrous. Various reports have es­timated the length of his inac­tivity -at two to four weeks, de­spite the legendary magical heal·ing powers connected with the"will to play, desire, etc."

119 Yards Passing

There's an old saying aboutfootball, which goes somethinglike this: "With proper blockingand a few good bounces, any teamcan complete passes." Caltech'squarterbacks certainly provedthe truth in that statement Sat­urday, as they completed six ofthirteen passes for 179 yards,which figures out to about thirtyyards per completion. The Bea­ver receivers and Riverside de·fenders took turns in helpingTech's passers achieve this rec·ord, with Fred Newman, GeneStanley, Tony Leonard, and HalForsen malting various spectacu­lar catches for Caltech. BothCaltech passers eXhibited accu·rate, if slightly weak throwingarms.

Redlands has invited the Cal­tech cheering section to an in­formal after-game mixer on theircampus Friday. Arrangementshave been made by Sheila Mc­Goldrick, Redland3 veep.

Halfback Stocking started thethird quarter scoring by return­ing a punt down the sidelinesafter being cut loose by endGene Stanley's key block. For­sen's kick was no good and thescore was 27-7.

Caltech's next tally came aftera three-play, 49-yard drive. Aftertaking Riverside's quick kickVan Kirk passed to end Stanleywho carried to the 20-yard lineof Riverside b e for e beingdropped. Stocking took a hand·off for ten, and quarterback VanKirk kept the ball on an optionaround left· end for the last ten.Van Kirk's conversion was good.

Sparking Tech's 70-yard drivefor the final score of the gamewas Van Kirk's pass to Newmanwho galloped to the Riverside25-yard line for a 44-yard gain.Van Kirk then gave to Stockingon an option and the ball wasdowned on the Riverside 9.Weathering an off-side penaltyand an incomplete pass, VanKirk kept the pigskin aroundleft end to the 2-yard line. Fromthe fullback position, Takido ranthe ball into the end zone. Stock·ing's kick was good, making thefinal score of the game 41-7.

The dark moment of the gamefor Caltech came five minutesinto the first quarter when All­Conference fullback Ed Krehbielinjured his knee. This occurredas . he was tackled after a 10­yard gain. It was the third timehe had carried the ball, but hisyardage totaled 48, inclUding the2-yard plunge for Tech's firsttouchdown.

Tech's third touchdown cli­maxed a 67·yard drive. Van Kirkpassed to Forsen from the 30;Forsen took the ball across forthe tally. Forsen's kick was goodand the score 21-0.

The Bull Penby Ford Holtzman

This week I shall entertain my gentle reader with the spectacleof an upperclassman trying to defend initiation.

Of course, the upperclassmen would like to think that initiationis actually a blessing for the freshmen. Some think freshmen areintegrated into the houses at the expense of class spirit by havingthe upperclassmen gang up on them. Ah, very subtle, very subtle.Others would have us believe that initiation is good bcause itknocks the cockiness out of the freshmen. But unfortunately itknocks cockiness into the upperclassmen, who already think prettyhighly of themselves for having stayed in this place so long. Initia­tion is for the upperclassmen, not for the freshmen.

The upperclassmen put a lot of effort into rotation, much morethan the freshmen. Most freshmen are too blessedlYt snowedthroughout rotation to be able to worry except in a vague way.

The upperclassmen, on the other hand, are the people who makethings come about. They have to worry about making a goodimpression, not only by dint of their charming personalities, butalso by the ~lever things they think of to do. Upperclassmen haveto plan and arrange parties; freshmen just have to go to them.Upperclassmen have to look after other members of their house;freshmen just have to keep themselves in check. Upperclassmenhave to rate about 125 freshmen, not just four houses. And, mostunfortunate of all, they aren't so snowed that they cannot worry,but they are not so enlightened that they can become fatalists.

By the end of rotation the average upperclassman would liketo stick the entire freshman class down a hole. Without initiationthe upperclassmen would forget the freshmen and go about theirbusiness as they did before. Initiation is the only thing that willkeep them aware of the freshman. It gives the upperclassmen anopportunity to release their tensions. It actually warms themtowards the freshmen and makes them more willing to accept the"intruders." Initiation is a natural and necessary reaction fromrotation. In many respects it is the upperclassmen who are inte­grated into the house, and not the freshmen.

Fortunately at Tech \ initiation is something you can take orleave alone. The upperclassmen certainly do not have to takepart if they do not want to, and an unwilling freshman can playa very minor role if he so desires. There is little hazing, and manyof the stunts have a practical side. So even if initiation is notethically correct, it does little harm.

And besides, it is a lot of fun.

to criticize the philosophies be­hind proctoring and honor sys­tems, and then to offer a dif­ferent outlook. This differentoutlook will imply one morecourse of action for our Boardof Control and analogous organi­zations on other campuses, andI'll try to suggest one or two

things which could be donequickly.

There is a question of pro­priety in having a member ofthe Board of C.ontrol of our hon­or system criticize it, no matterhow gently. However, I feel thatclear, honest, and constructivecriticism usually does good. Be­sides, it is all in the family, soto speak.
