tWar on Brains' Hit by Smith
Humanities Chairman Is Speaker As Tau Beta Pi Initiates Twenty "There is a new barbarism in American life: essentially it is
a war on brains, on reflection, on ideas," Dr. Hallett Smith, Chair' man of the Division of Humanities, told a large audience at the Tau Beta Pi Initiation Banquet, held last Friday at Dante's Cafe.

Two _________________ ~~ _______ _ THE CALIFORNIA TECH __________ --Thursday, December 7,1950 .
Uncle Som Wonts Y(Jut For the past week bull sessions at Caltech have all bee~ con·
centrating on one subject~the draft. "How soon am I gomg. to go?" is the NO.1 question in every Techman's mind at .the moment.
Dianetics and the Draft? We ca n Lake any of three different a ttitudes about the problem.
The first is that it is one's patriotic duty to serve his country in time of war no matter what value he is at home; so he goes in when he is' drafted, even though under present regulations his induction may be postponed or deferred.
This attitude is not too prevalent at Caltech, although several students have taken ii-interestingly enough, those who have an avid interes t in d ianetics.
\Ve All Go Sometime • The second pOint of view, very prominent at Caltech, is that
we all must go some time, so it is betler to enlist in a mo.r~ favorable service than the army just before inductien time and thus go to school or otherwise stay out of action for a little while.
Althoug h this attitude may not be "partiotic," as int~rpreted by many outsider s, when one considers tha t the chances are better than one in Len that he will not return alive, it is only too understandable.
Chicken The third attitude is tha t as scientists and engineers we should
be exempt from serving on the front because we are more valuable at home. There is obvious evidence that such a case is true to a certain extent, but if we tried to explain it to the public we w0l;lld . be immediately accused of being just plain "chicken."
Yom' Number Anyway, since all of us, veterans included, are seriously wor
ried about going to certain death (the prevailing attitude, and not "going off to fight ," as it should be) the follO\\'ing sure statemen t can be made: No one knows what is gOing to happen after the end of the school year.
The best thing to do right now is to check up with your draft board to see how far fl'Om the fatal number yours lies. If you live out of thIs area and are r egistered at home, your chances are probably better, s ince Southern California is using up its available l-A's at an a larming rate.
Caltech Will Suffer If the proposed law that the lower half of the freshman class,
the lower third of the sophomore class, and the lower fourth of the junior class is inducted before graduation, Cal tech will be one of the greatest sufferers, ~ince students who would be exempt at other schools would be taken from Cal tech, and as a result, the enrollment here might decline tremendously for just that one r eason.
The Dark Picture This paints a pretty dark picture of the situation, but it is the
sad truth, as student house members who have seen their fellow members go can testify. Therefore let us close with the optomistic lines from the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta , The Mikado--"Long life to you ... t ill then."

Comments One of the rewards of having
as many visitors 'on campus as were here last Saturday is the remarks and comments that always come from such people.
This one, instead of bei ng funny, provides an insight into what people think about and would like to know about Ca ltech. Quite a number of the visitors found occasion to ask about student life.
Student Life Part of the regular program
last Saturday was a ten minute ta lk, illustrated with s lides, on student life given by Dick Libbey.
Many of us 'had expected that Dick would have to close up shop early. I t just did not seem lhat these people would be coming all the way over here just to be told about student life.

Dvorak Symphony removed a great deal of the traditional mushiness. The highlight of the evening was the Third Symphony of J ohannes Brahms, which was given a clean and brilliant performance.

The next, and last concer t pai r before the first of the year will be next Thursday evening and friday af ternoon, \vhen the popular tenor of the Metropolitan Opera, Ferruccio Tagliavini will be fea tured as soloist. The program is listed below.

p.m. in Dabney Lounge, the third in a series of chamber concerts sponsored by the Caltech Musicale, will feature an all Brahms program. The performers will include three fine artists, Sara Com pinsky, pian· ist; George Meikrug, cellist, a nd Kalman Bloch, clarinetist.

of the best a ttended features of the whole program. Many student visitors and some of their teachers expressed the desire to hear more about student life a t Caltech.
It is heartening to know that prospective students have an interest in what they will be doing, other than study, if they come here. Next year perhaps one of the longer afternoon lectures can be devoted to this. That is provided we have a student body next year.
Fooled You Before Students Day there
was a feeling here and there that there would not be enough co· opera tion between students and faculty to make the day successful. No public opinion poll was taken in this case but we can well remember how wrong Dr. Gallup was in 1948. There was only one case in which one kind man thought that we were being "very" presumptous in assuming somet hing or other. Sterling

He said that he had recommended words be painted on the pavement approaching. this cross walk announcing a "school crossing," \ and that an effort would then be made to enforce caution at this point. If this did not correct the situation, then sorpething else would be done.
As yet no painting has been done. The walk rema ins a critical and constant hazard to our students, as you can ascertain if you spend a half hour any week
THE SQUARES' t'lRt'U] The following' letter was origi'o
nally addressed to the Caltech Faculty and has been forwarded to the Tech by Dean Franklin Thomas, who also supplied the accompanying explanatory note.
The accompanying letter is from Dave Carlisle, Negro graduate of West Point who had two years at Caltech then in 1945 was appointed to the military academy.
While he was a cadet, Major General Taylor, commandant, wrote to me that Carlisle ranked in the upper 5 percent of his class and was making the best all-around record' ever made by a Negro at the academy.

Dear Folks, This is just a note to say
"hello" and to serve as something of a Christmas greeting,
Life here in Korea is far from pleasant. Still, we all have the satisfaction of knowing that our miss ion is one of vital importance. The job that OUr forces ha ve done here is nothing short of marvelous.
I am a platoon leader in t'he 77th Engineers, a 25th Division unit that is probably the most decorated company in Korea, bar none. We are now driving north toward the Manchurian border.

Every good wish always. (sgd) Dave Carlisle

THA~NK' YOU'S Dear Sir,
We should1like to take this op· portunity to thank the members of the staff of the Tech for the very fine piece of work they did in preparing last week's issue as a special edition for Students Day. The fun coverage given to each department and its ex· hibits was an exceptional job of reporting.
On behalf of the faculty and
the ASCIT we wish to extend our thanks to all those who contribute to the success of Stu· dents Day. The fact that some 150 persons were involved pro· hibits the men tion of each name but we would like to single out three whose cont ribu t ions a re especially apprecia ted: Miss Betty Pond of the Deans' office, for her innumerable hours at tthe typewriter; Kent Stratton for his tremendous job of organizing the guide service, and Don Tautz for his very effective work in 'Organizing the exhibitors.
Our heartfelt thanks to a ll. \Vilbur R. Val'ney, Cal"l Hildabrand,

Moon Madness .. . In the rockets' red glare and
the din of wailing fire sirens and home-made atom bombs, Techmen staged another of their frequent celebrations last Monday night. The occasion-the last total lunar eclipse until January of 1953.
Nine thirty was the jump·off time as men gathered from all dorms for the spontaneous party bet wee n the undergraduate buildings on Ames Street. At 9:35 p.m. the fire sirens atop Wood and Munroe dormitories heralded the opening of general chaos. Shortly thereafter bombs made from materials supplied by various labs around the school began to wreak the ctlstomary havoc.

-The TeRoa* Pl'oble .. : Given a plastic for which there Is no known solvent;
how would you tu.rn h Into a coating?
Some time ago Du Pont research discovered a new plastic-~ 'Teflon" tetrafluoroethylene resin. It had temperature resistance beyond the range of any previous plastic, excellentelectrical characteristics, and the highest degree of chemical inertness, among commercial plastics.
But tough-guy "Teflon" was almost too tough. It wouldn't melt and flow like other plastics. Hence, it could be molded only in simple shapes. There was no existing technique by which it could be made into thin coatings. Unless this difficuity could be overcome, the very properties that made "Teflon" so promising narrowed its usefulness.
IIYeflonll Won't Dlslolve .
In the past, problems like this have been handled by dissolving plastics in a suitable solvent and using them as the base for enamels and similar coatings. But ·"Teflon" will not dissolve in any solvent yet known. It even stands up to nitric acid.
At this point Du Pont physical chemists suggested dispersions= minute particles suspended in a liquid-as the answ'}r. After much study, scientists of the Polychemicals D epartment learned how to suspend "Teflon" particles about 1/125,000 of an inch in diameter. Aided by the fundamental studies of Chemical Department scientists, they devised today's commercial scale process.
Meanwhile Du Pont's Fabrics and Finishes Department was keeping pace with the development. Their contributions to formulating the new products did much to establish "Teflon" polytetrafiuoroethylene coatings and wire enamels in many special uses.
In electric motors, for instance, these enamels are used on wire so the motor can be operated at higher temperatures and will deliver more power per unit of weight. Suchmotors are more compact and sometimes cost less.
Other uses include non-sticking coatings that cut costs when applied to bakery rolls, rubber molds, heat_ling machinery and similar equipment. Corrosion·resistant "TeBon" coatings for special uses are currently being investigated.
Product of Teamwork
~'Teflon" finishes are a tYPj cal fruit of the close teamwork of Du Pont teclmicalmenofdiversebackgroimds. Organic and physical chemists played a maior role. Physicists participated by developing fundamental information on the nature of the dispersion. Chemical and mechanical engineers designed the manufacturing apparatus.Workingtogether,theymadepossible this new and important addition to the Du Pont family of "Better .
