There are histroy classeswith about three people in them,and there are but four graduatesin the HSS graduate program atwhatever fantastic cost each.)

Dr. Mandel further stated thathe felt it was intolerable not tooffer credit for first year lan­guages, and that retroactive cred­it after completion of the secondyear was "minimally acceptable."

He told the committee thatthe "literature group" in theHumanities had been integratingforeign languages in translationpeople into his group over aperiod of years, in the hopes ofsupplying Caltech with an im­pressive program in literature.His remarks contrasted sharplywith those of Dr. Dan Kevles,who stated that the purpose ofthe Humanities Division was toeducate illiterate frosh to readand write.

Dave Drake also spoke on thelanguage program. He had inter­viewed numerous professors (13of them, anyway), and foundthat they thought Caltech shouldoffer languages, and that credit

Cutbacks UnjustifiedDOUJn The Tubes

by Etaoin SchroedluDuring the discussion concern­

ing the recently announced cut­back in Caltech's foreign lan­guages program, figures andcommentary have been bandiedabout concerning student de­mand for particular courses with­in the Humanities and SocialSciences Division. Dr. RobertHuttenback, Chairman of thatDivision and defender (if notperpetrator) of the cutback, hascited as one justification (not theonly one) that studen ts havebeen "voting with their feet" andnot taking language courses, inparticular upper-level languagecourses, in significant numbers. Ithas also been noted that "wecan't do everything; we had tocut back somewhere."

This reporter decided to inves­tigate course enrollments andinstructor teaching loads in theHumanities and Social SciencesDivision as a whole, in order toevaluate the claim that thelanguage course enrollments aresmall, and to consider thepossibility that other areas withinthe Division might have beenmore appropriate areas for cut­back, if indeed a cutback isnecessary. The result is a com­pilation of all course enrollments,and instructor teaching loads,within the HSS Division for theacademic year 1971-1972 andfirst term this year, which isbeing ma de available to theCurriculum Committee, theRegistrar, and others as appro­priate.

Because it is felt that thestudent opinions that have beengleaned by the commi ttee arenot necessarily representative, asurvey will be made of thestudent body to obtain writtenthoughts and ideas on policychanges.

The topics that will be takenup by the committee are as yetundecided, but some possibilitiesare studies of such things as thefirst two years at Caltech,Institute requirements, or theHumanities problems that havebeen dominating meetings. Al­though active student partici­pation in these meetings will notbe as wildly encouraged as it hasbeen, several will probably beopen to the Caltech community.

The problem is that thisknowledge has not been trans­lated in a widespread applicationof such systems, even here atCaltech. Some commercial char­coal filter systems can be appliedto buildings to actually clean upthe air to meet ambient airqualtiy standards (currently vio­lated over 206 days per year foroxidant in the L.A. Basin).

I would like to start a smallsummer project in this areainvolving one or two interestedstudents. At present, severalpeople have promised help in orare actively seeking funds towork in this area. However, Ithink it is important that thestudent(s) involved begin now, sothey can work on seeking thefunding for the project, and, asmuch as possible, direct theproject themselves. Any studentsinterested in working in this areashould contact me at EQL(x2606).

THE GANGTHAT COULDN'TSHOOt STRAIGiT

Thoughts

No UnhappyCustomers?by Steve Edwar~s,

A feeling of confidenCe filledme as I drove into the Robert RLoud Ford service departmentand saw the shiny sign declaring"no unhappy Ford owners."Surely the broken mirror on myMustang could be replaced in thefifteen minutes before lunch.When a man in a nice suit andwide .smile of understandingapproached, my faith surged.

The predicament started a halfhour earlier when an automaticcar wash knocked off themovable part of my outside rearview mirror. The owner washappy to pay for its replacemantand sent me across the street tothe Ford dealer beacuse of itsproximity. Since I had easilyreplaced the entire mirror fortwo and a half dollars onlymonths earlier, I pursued thetask immediately.

Back to Ph 1The service manager inspected

the mirror promptly and told meit could not be repaired. Then hemade out the replacement orderbill for ten dollars. I was curiousthat he did not check to see ifthey had the proper replacementpart or how much it might costbut I had confidence in these"back to basic" people.

After my car sat for about tenminutes, a worker drove the carout back, where I followed. Thecar was shortly blocked in byother cars and moved around toallow other cars to leave. After afew minutes of this I asked whowas working on my car, but noone knew. So I walked to theservice manager, and spoke thewords that would surely strikefear into his heart-"You'remaking one Ford owner veryunhappy." I told him howcheaply and quickly I had.replaced the mirror before, buthe was not phased. He counteredby telling me that I was askingthem to move too fast duringtheir lunch break (even though Ihad brought the car in fifteenminutes before noon). He warnedme that I was getting too excitedand that I would "get an ulcer."

Revolution in its technical, eco­nomic, and social consequences,Mead predicted. "In the past 200years we have improved ourability to manufacture goods andmove people by a factor of100," Mead said. "But during thelast 20 years there has been amillionfold increase in the rate atwhich we process and retrieveinformation. In each of the past13 years the cost of performingan elementary logic problem ­adding two numbers, for example- has been cut in half. Thismeans operations can be per­formed electronically for aboutone ten thousandth of the costof 13 years ago."

The change has resulted fromthe development of integratedcircuit technology, a develop­ment that has made individualtransistors obsolete, Mead said. Itis now possible to put 10,000transistors on a miniature chipthat would have held only onetransistor 10 years ago. Soon,using an electron beam forgenerating the tiny patterns, itwill be possible to put tenmillion transistors on the sametiny chip that now holds 10,000Mead said. Thus an entirecomputer, built at a cost ofabout $25, could consist of asingle chip.

"Smaller, more economicallypriced, highly talented machines,gifted at search out and sortingdata, can be developed to dospecial jobs," Mead added. "Wecan look forward to having smallcomputing devices in our auto­mobiles, our telephones, ourwashing machines, or our type­writers. This is the kind ofmachine needed by the averageman keeping track of his bankaccoun t - or the engineer orscientist working on a typicalproblem," Mead said. "The indi­vidual using these machines'won't have to know anythingabout computing or electronics. .. We'll have a user-oriented

machine, not a machine-orienteduser."

The fast-growing micro-electronics technology will makepossible another kind of develop­ment, Mead explained: the use ofsingle purpose .electronic ma­chines that have nothing to dowith computing - for example, amachine in ovens to regulatecooking times and temperatures.

A glimpse into the future wasoffered by Carver A. Mead,professor of electrical engi­neering, in a Monday nightlecture on February 26 inBeckman Auditorium.'

between humanities and socialsciences. Do you feel that thedivision should one day be split?

Hback: No, I think strife isn'taltogether bad. You're going toget intellectual conflict with anygroup of people. I think thatboth the humanities and thesocial sciences would suffer bybeing split. The conflict betweenthem when they go up againsteach other is intellectually stimu·lating. Disagreement betweenthem doesn't really run along thelines of humanities vs. socialsciences. Not at all. It runs onquite different lines. So I thinkthe union is a very good one.

Let's take something likehistory. Is history a humanity ora social science? I know at placeslike MIT, where they havedivided them, it's been to thediscredit of both- particularlythe humanities group.

Tech: At the Ad Hoc Com·mittee meeting Tuesday, a pointwas brought to the attention ofthose present. When the goals ofthe Institute were set up sixtyyears ago, they included threedesigns: to build a superb scienceprogram, to set up graduatestudies, and to build a Humani­ties division on a par with thescience program How close doyou think the present-day Hu·manities division is to that?

Hback: In some areas we'reclose, in others, no. All of the di­visions, especially the diffuse ones,have their strong spots and theirnot-so-strong spots. I think in thelast few years, we've madeimmeasurable strides. And Ithink it is now an excellent

Well, they Want, we figured,courses which have somebreadth, are not too parochial,are not too professional, and givea world view which looksdifferent from that given thestudents in the physical sciences.So my inclination was, "Alright,we'll not give credit to somecourses (which are very goodcourses and which students willget graduation and institutecredit for) which do not meetthose criteria I mentioned." Sowe took off some really goodsocial science courses, plus somecourses in business economicsand management, plus things likedebate and science writing be·cause we felt they were some·times narrower,. sometimes pro­fessional, and taught particularthings which we didn't feelshould belong in a Humanitiesand Social Sciences requirement.Which didn't mean studentscouldn't take them, or theydidn't get credit for them, orthey weren't good courses. It wasmerely our interpretation ofwhat we felt Humanities andSocial Science requirementmeant.

I don't thinkwe should only do things interms of cost, but in terms ofstudent activity and such. Thedivision should do what it hasthe possibility of doing. And itmay have the possibility of doingit now.

We may be able to do more inart. I think we want to add athird course in art history nextterm. What we will do in thearea of actual, practical art Idon't know. Probably not a greatdeal in the immediate future.However, we are prepared nowto give credit for courses takenat Oxy, to the degree Oxy itselfdoes. If Oxy (or Scripps) givescredit for a course towardgraduation, we will do the samething.

I think there's a whole area ofactivities that we'd like tosupport, even though it may notbe in the area of formal courses.In contradiction to your editor­ial, I believe that credit veryoften kills good things. Especiallycreative things.

You can't do everything. Wenever have. Everyone specializesin something. We do much lessof that than any other division.But if we're stuck with a moneysqueeze, and a limit to what wecan do .... I suppose, in a sense,the reason part of the languageswent (I don't think very muchreally did) was due to budgetarystringency, and the fact that wejust didn't have the necessaryprofessorial appointments avail·able. If we had to choose, I'msure that language would not bewhere we would choose to putour money.

Tech: It seems that the reasonthe language program was cutwas that it was not an en­trenched program

Hback: I'm sure there's sometruth in that. This is a placethat's terribly research-conscious.And here's a program which ispurely a teaching program, andwas only developing into man­hood one or two years ago. It'stoo bad that we had to truncateit. I think anyone thinks it's toobad, and hopefully things will getbetter. But it's true that aroundhere, without the research com­ponent, it's very difficult.

I think I could also say thathaving had the president guaran­tee two years of languages goes avery long way to satisfying theneeds of the undergraduates andgraduates as I see them.

Creative ArtsHback: I might go to the crea­

tive arts next. We now offerthree courses in music, and twocourses in art history. They willget humanities credit (I'm notsure the first course in musicdoes, however. If it doesn't, itsoon may). I might add that Icertainly don't feel very adamantabout first year language.

A California Tech Interview

Huttenlback Gives View on HSSby Dennis Mallonee

Suddenly, as I returned fromthe Ad Hoc Committee meeting(and before the uncanny copymultiplication that occured Tues­day evening, when we went from30 inches of standing copy to aremarkable 250) I received wordthat Dr. Huttenback would liketo be interviewed. Sensing anopportunity for a newsworthyitem, plus the fact that there aremany people who will be inter­ested in what Dr. Huttenback hasto say, plus the fact that itappeared that we might be shorton copy . .. well, here it is.

Tech: Okay, Dr. Huttenback.The tape recorder's on.

Dr. Robert A. Huttenback:All right. Now, let's see, what arethe issues at hand? I'll make anoutline: languages, 108 units ofHumanities, creative art.

Starting with the languages,when I came here, I wasdedicated to the idea of havingsix professorial appointmen ts inlanguages. That was in the daysbefore there were constraints onprofessorial appointments, andthere were not as many con­straints on money.

I think it's undoubtedly truethat, had this been a well­established, productive languageprogra~ it wouldn't be asvulnerable as it is now. It is,however, vulnerable, and what ithas essentially been is a programthat teaches the first two yearsof language to undergraduatesand graduates. The third yearand the language in translationcourses were more a hope for thefuture than anything that hadbeen greatly developed. And also,in those cases, the enrollment,certainly in the third yearlanguages, were very, verymeagre.

Tech: And the language intranslation courses?

Hback: I don't have thefigures for those, but last yearwas the first year we offeredthose courses. As I recall, theyran about five or six.

Record for RobinsonHaywood Robinson ran him­

self into the record books withauthority that has not been seenin the past at Caltech. TheBeaver sprinter had his firstassault on the record book in the100-yard dash last Saturday onthe Redlands track with a 9.7clocking. This mark tied a46-year-old record. The 1927mark had stood the yearsunchallenged until Robinsonstepped on the crushed bricktrack at Redlands University.With a near perfect start he spedto a yard victory.

An hour later, Robinson linedup for the start of the 220-yarddash and again with an excellentstart he won the race with a timeof 22.0, breaking the old markof 22.4. Robinson barely edgedout the Redlands runner with hisnew Caltech marte The Caltechrunner had the best performancesever by a Caltech sprinter. TheHaywood Robinson fashion showwill next be seen in action onMarch 31 in the ClaremontRelays.

In the double dual compe­tition, Caltech defeated La Verne83-57 while losing to Redlands85-59. Tech's season record isnow 2-2. Overall it was not agood day for the Beaver track­sters, however. On a cold andwindy afternoon, with a numberof runners suffering from variousafflictions, there were few signifi­cant marks.

Al Kleinsasser, suffering fromthe effects of the flu, sufferedhis first defeat of the year in themile with a time of 4: 14.5 totake the race, which Kleinsasserhad led for -J4 of a mile. In the

Back to the schedule. Accord­ing to Kevles, the great myth atTech is as follows: "The studentshere are encouraged to cramevery possible math, science, andengineering course possible intohis schedule." Dr. Kevles wouldlike to see students exploresomething other than the sci­ences, and to proceed at his ownrate, allowing five-year, three­year, or whatever-year it took tofinish.

Ex-Tech Editor SpeaksPhil Neches's speech was

concerned primarily with keepingCaltech number one. He said thatthe excitement prevalent oncampus during his frosh yearcoinciding with the steps forwardtaken at the time (co-eds,academic reforms, even the twoNobel laureates). Tech has re­mained fairly static since thattime, while other schools havebeen forging ahead. Neches feltthat new barriers should bebreached (a separate study indi­cates that grad schools will takeTech grads no matter what theirlabel) such as decreasing competi­tion for grades by effectivelyeliminating them, splittinghumanities and social sciences intwo divisions, increasing thenumber of paying jobs open tounderclassmen, encouragingsophomore and junior transfers,encouraging a liberal arts schoolto locate next door, creatingmore projects like JPL and EQL,and slightly increasing the under­graduate population (by 300,which will make an even thou­sand. 43% is Sligllt?).

Although this meeting wasofficially the last open to thepublic, Dr. Knowles (chairman ofthe Committee) has indicatedthat this might be changed in thefuture.

More Interesting TopicsDr. Eric Storm spoke on the

general topics of reform in theCaltech undergrad programs. Heoffered several suggestions to theCommittee and threw out severalquestions for possible discussion.Among these were the possibili­ties of bringing in more Juniortransfer students, and to some­how change freshman admissionspolicies with the object in mindof bringing about a change forthe better in campus social life,and psychological atmosphere,"Even the students who getthrough it are a little strangesometimes."

Also, Dr. Storm offered sug­gestions on the structures pre~­

ently prevailing adademics-wise(such as A-B-C-noncredit, encour­agement of independent research,fewer freshman requirements,credit for creative efforts ...).These were met with wistful eyesby the students persent.

Back to KevlesAfter Dr. Kevles commented

on the purposes of the Humani­ties Division (which seemed to beincidental to his main topic), hewent on to general stuff. Dr.Kevles told the sad story of aHumanities division in a science­oriented school. There is littleleft over after science is fittedinto a student's schedule. There­fore the remainder should bechosen very carefully-preferablythe courses should be "liberal"innature. At the same time, there

Russian accounted for 68, 1I 1,and 92 student-terms, respec­tively, for a total of 271. Thesecourses are presumably notendangered by the cu tback. Onthe other hand, it is far fromclear that the instructors in thesecourses can handle any of thesecond-year load in addition tothe above. Second-year enroll­ments in the three languages forthe four terms totaled 39, 95,and 30 respectively, for a totalof 164. The remaining 75students were in third yearcourses, reading courses, or litera­ture in translation courses (whichtotaled 29).

Burma-ShaveAlso significant is the in­

creased enrollment in languagesover the past couple qf years.The introductory enrollmentswere up by 3 in German and 7in Russian this year (down by 5in French). Intermediate enroll­ments went from 7 to 11 inRussian, 26 to 38 in German,and 8 to 19 in French. Perhaps ifthe program had been grantedsome measure of stability, increas­es would have been noted ineven the third-year programs.

Obviously criteria such as theabove cannot be the only onesused for evaluating programs andmaking tenure decisions. It doesseem, however, that data such asthe above could be used as onefactor in such decisions. Whensome of the above data werepresented at the Ad Hoc meetingon Tuesday, one historain plain­tively requested that such databe made available for divisionsother than his.

Study of the language instruc­tors' teaching loads in moredetail brings up some interestingpoints. During this four-termperiod, there were a total of ninelanguage instructors, includingtwo who were at Caltech for1971-72 only, one who was herefor first term 1972 only, and onewho only taught one class in thisperiod and concerning whom theInstitute Bulletins are vague. Wemight consider then that thelanguages program in this periodhas had seven slots, one of thesewas part-time all four terms, andanother was part-time in three.This gives an average enrollmentper slot (counting part-time) ofabout 73. (This number, I mightadd, is larger than the teachingload for any non-business econo­mist, for all but two historians,and for most other persons inthe Division. In fact, only 14 of56 non-language instructors inthe Division taught as many as73 students in these four terms.)

Than Pizza and Booze.Most of the students in

languages, unsurprisingly, tend tobe found in the early years ofthe language program. In tro­ductory French, German, and

lation courses and a couple ofreading courses, which use thecourse title En. 1 have includedthose courses with languagesbecause they are taught byforeign language instructors.)

Some You Lose,This total student load in the

language program compares veryfavorably with other HSS Divi­sion departments. Only EnglishLiterature courses, with a totalenrollment of over 1300 for thefour terms, outdoes the languagp

program enrollment. The Englishlit enrollment does not includesuch 'En' courses as En 15, En21, En 102, and En 151, which Iplaced elsewhere, but this depart­ment benifits from the generalInstitute requirement that everyCaltech undergrad must take 27units of English. (At a roughcalculation, the Institute Englishrequirement might be expectedto account for some 800 term­courses in English over fourterms, but this still leaves around500 genuinely 'elective' Englishlit courses taken, about the samenumber as in the languageprogram and more than anyother department.)

Two of Caltech's well-established HSS departmentsfared rather poorly by compari­son with English lit and lan­guages. History totaled only 410terms of student-courses, eventhough Tech has had morehistory instructors than languageinstructors during the period, andthere was less uncertainty con­cerning future offerings in his­tory. Non-business economicscontributed only 390 student­terms (business economics classesadded another 242).

There's More to H-backOther enrollments totaled 130

for the fine arts classes (the ArtClasses, En 21, and the Musicclasses), 31 for special tutorialsin HSS 99 or ISP, 394 for thestandard philosophy courses, 176in the standard psychology cours­es, and 380 in other sorts ofsocial science courses and thoseclasses which don't easily fit anyof the above descriptions.
