I was talking to Dean Eatonearly this week, and it seems asthough the men in our adminis­tration have finally come to thepoint where they are going tolisten to all the complaints thatour more vociferous seniorshave been pouring down thebacks of their several necks.

In the first place, Dean 'Eatontells me, Caltech is adopting anew policy of acquiring as new

ins t r u c torsmen who are

\ not only good-S scientists and-f ,... engineers but

c-: also have some-:3 teaching abili­

\ ty. Present fac­r---/ ulty members

who are primarily research menwill in many cases be taken offtheir teaching duties where thestudents have considered theirteaching abilities inadequate.

Secondly, grass will be plant­ed in many of the spots on cam­pus which are now bear dirt.As a long-range policy, the ad­ministration will stop shoehorn­ing new buildings into the cam­pus, and concentrate on beauti­fying what we have.

Finally, Techmen, and espec­ially upperclassmen, will beginto get a wider choice of sub­jects in their curriculum, par­ticularly in the humanities.

Sounds unbelievable, doesn'tit? I'd begun to think they'dgiven up these ideas forever.

Course CritiquesBiology 1 is a one-term course required of most sophomore

scientists, and as such comes under a great deal of criticismfrom those who didn't want to take the course but were forcedto in order to meet their option requirements.

There is nothing unusual about a course being criticized.But there is something different about the way the men incharge of Biology 1 receive this criticism. They do not onlywelcome it; they solicit it! During the last week of the coursea questionnaire Is passed out, and each student has a chanceto evaluate the course. The evaluation covers course contentand presentation, instructors, labs, and tests. The results ofthe questimmaire are tabulated, published, and actually usedas a guide to future presentation.

In freshman calculus a different means of getting the stu­dents' opinions is used, when, as you recall, the professor whois in charge of the course visits each section while the sectioninstructor is absent, and asks for a critical evaluation of the

course and the instructor.\Ve would Eke to see some kind of post facto course evalua­

tion become part of every course offered on our campus, .:---rocourse here is perfectly good, while many are, if we may listento the testimony of OUl~ senior ClclSS, unbelievably bad. Everyinstructor can therefore benefit from the criticisms of the stu­dents in some way, perhaps in lectui'e presentation, or in choiceof textbook, or in preparation of tests and exams.

Sometimes evaluation should he in tbe form of a writtenquestionnaire; sometimes it should be verbal; sometimes itshould come during a course, sometimes at the end. But itshould definitely be a part of every course in our curriculum,

Entered as second-class matter Nov. 22 ] 947, at the Post Officein Pasadena, California, under the Act of March 3, 1879.

(Ed. ;\cte: This report, henceforth a weekly feature, willtake up the major prohl,'m,s hefore the ASCIT Board of Di-

.. rectors, omitting tile routine items of business. A completerecord of BOD meetings can be found in the minutes postedon student house bulletin boards. In addition, we will mentionthe important topics on the agenda for the following boardmeeting so students may let tlleir opinions he known to boardmembers, Eyen better, anyone is welcome to the meetings,which are held Monday nights at 7:20 ,in the BOD room inlower J:<"'leming.)

The new non-athletic school jackets came up for discussionin several respects. The board recommended that the jacketsales be handled by the Beavers as part of t11eir campus service.Beaver members have since accepted this responsibility. Thesales price was anotller point of dispute since California salestax laws require a tax on any profit. However a 811.7;3 price,slightly aboye the $11.36 cost, was settled on.

Although these are non-athletic jacko!s, somo board memobers felt that frosh and .IV lettermen should be ahle to weartheir letters on the jackets in oreler to give more encouragementto frosh athletes, who now may ,veal' letters only on bluesweaters. In the discussion it was pointed out that lettersmight be out of character on a non-athletic jacket. No decisionwill be made until student body opinion develops.

The first issue of Farrago, Caltech's first humor magazine,raised the question whether the ASCIT could afford the ex­pense of such a magazine each term. Although Farrago waswell received, this success will have to be weighed againstits expense. The Farrago editors presented a preliminary fi·nancial statement, estimating that the first issue will costthe ASCoIT $375, $300 of which will come from the CaliforniaTech budget. Since the editors promised reduced costs andhigher ad rates next issue, the board granted them permissionto apply for national ads. The final decision on publishinganother Farrago next term will be made after further studyand a complete financial accounting. Student body opinion onthe matter is most welcome.

Morse announced that the Lost Weekend will be May 20,21, and 22, with the Saturday events at Huntington Beach andthe Pav-O-Ion dance hall on the pier. ~

Instead of the usual informal election, the Instituter chair­man will be appointed by the BOD this year. Men interested intaking over this service organization are invited to appear be­fore the board April 4.

Next week the board will decide on Farrago and layoutmore Lost Weekend plans. Delegates to the Model United Na­tions (see news article) will be selected, and an Instituterchairman picked.

MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEERSNEEDED FOR BERKELEY AND LIVERMORE LABORATORIES

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RADIATION LABORATORY

Positions available for qualified mechanical engineers: The Radiation Laboratoryat Berkeley and Livermore employs over 100 mechanical engineers engaged in thedesign of a wide range of equipment for use in fundamental and applied scientificinvestigation.

This work includes nuclear and thermonuclear test devices and instrumenta­tion, high energy particle accelerators, ultra high speed cameras. large scale highvaCuum equipment, devices for remote control in high radiation fields, equip­ment for remote handling and processing of radicactive materials, and acce'ssoryequipment for nuclear reactors.

Organization IS on a project basis with close contact between engineers andscientists and the extensive laboratory shops. Emphasis is not on designing forproduction manufacture. The work calls for an understanding of principles andingenuity rather than the application of standard practices. The projects ofthe labor8tory include practically all aspects of nuclear engineering.

Beaver picture tobe taken Monday

Members of the Beavers, Cal­tech organization composed ofstudents active in extracurricu­lar activities, will have picturestaken Monday, April 4, at noonin front of Throop Hall.

by Frank KofskyFor the past few years now,

the Lighthouse Cafe, under theauspices of Howard Rumsey(not the one who got an A-plusin Math 16), has sponsored theannual Intercollegiate Jazz Fes­tival. This year is to be no ex­ception, for starting on Monday,April 4, the Cafe will be takenover by small combos from Occi­dental, UCLA, USC, LACC, andEI Camino JC, and a full weekof cool collegiate music willensue. The activity will come toa close on Sunday, April 10,when the winning school willplay alternate sets with theLighthouse All-Stars. From pastyear's experience, the music \villbe smooth and professional, andwell worth the short jaunt to 30Pier Avenue in Hermosa Beach,home of the All-Stars.

More Bruebeck?Well, Brubeck has done ,it

again. Just a couple of monthsafter the release of "Brubeck atStoryville," Columbia has issueda new Brubeck masterpiece, en­titled, seemingly In the Caltechidiom, "Brubeck Time." Thetitle is based on the feature storyon Brubeck which appeared inTime Magazine last November,and the cover of the album isthe same as the cover of themagazine, Le., a picture of Bru­beck amidst a surrealist quartet.The muc,ic inside is Brubeck athis best, which tells the story inmy mind. Incidentally, if youprefer your Brubeck in person,he, plus Miss Ella Fitzgerald,plus Barney Kessel and otherswill be appearing at the ShrineAuditorium this Saturday night.For more information, listen toGene Norman on KLAC (570)any night after eight p.m.

Disc jock dept.Speaking of radio, a young

man named Jack Wagner spinsdiscs (actually he plays recordsbut I'm being idiomatic) from12:30 to 2:30 p.m. daily on KHJ(al-ound 100 on the dial) on bothAM and FM. The selections arenot all modern sound, but mostof them are very good listeningnotwithstanding. Occasionally hesalutes some particular instru­ment, as he did last week whenhe played selections by HerbGeller, Paul Desmond, LennyNeihaus and the Davey PellOctet to pay tribute to the altosax.

given annually "to recognize andencourage outstanding contribu­tions to the science of analytic21chemistry, pure or applied, car­ried out in the United States orCanada."

A member of the Caltech fac­ulty for 35 years, ProfessorSwift is regarded by fellowscientists as one of the greatestliving analytical chemists andthe world's leading authority onthe use of physico-chemical prin­ciples for chemical analysis.

During World War II Profes­sor Swift worked on prablemsrelated to the identification ofchemical warfare agents andtheir detection in the field. Healso helped develop a compre­hensive system of chi!mical an­alysis for use by Army chemicallaboratories in the field. Morerecently he has pioneered in thedevelopment of coulmetric an­alysis-the use of an electriccurrent to detect and measureamounts of chemical elements­and is recognized as the fore­most authority in this field.
