by Bill BeranekThe conference on Technological

Change and the Human Environ­ment was presented to the Caltechcommunity with quiet, rationalvoices. Facts about air pollution,heat pollution, water pollution,energy probler.1s, and present sys­tems for regulation were carefullylisted. Urban life was examined. Ofa more philosophic nature, Dr.Mesthene of Harvard discussed theeffect on the goals of man of thechange in content of human exper­ience due to technology.

This predictable, but thorough,description of our present environ­ment provided the background forthe important question of what isthe best environment for man. Thatthe real human biological andpsychological needs are unknownwas the view of Professor ReneDubos of Rockefeller University. Inthe relaxed style of his books,rambling from insight to insight, Dr.Dubos argued for a reorganizationof scIence and technology for goalscomparible with human life.

Man is adaptable, but we do notknow to what limits. Over thecenturies, he has learned to livewith and in some sense to enjoycrowded urban life. However, hewill not be able to adapt to thenoise and chemical pollution. In Dr.Dubos opinion, the attitude ofsocieties today should be more likethe self-sufficient Benedictine mona­steries of early medieval time. Thenative environment was changed tobenefit the monks but not destroy­ed.

The opposite viewpoint waseloquently expressed by Dr.Constantino Doxiadis of Athens,Greece in the most entertaining and

Many students (especially inrequired courses outside theirmajor) just learn the materialspecifically for the purpose ofgetting a grade and then forget it assoon as they learn it. How manytimes have we all heard "Boy, am Iglad I got that course OUT OF THEWAY!" This is what I considerextremely anti-inteI1ectual andcreates an attitude of antagonismtoward education rather than enjoy­ment of it.

We all realize that learning canbe one of the greatest pleasures inlife. It's bad enough that our highschools almost destroy this intel­lectual curiosity. Let's not kill it offfor good.

Of the tendirectors, (average age 66) 8 are onthe board of directors or one ormore corporations directly benefit­ting from continuing expansiqn ofLos Angeles and the cars in it. Theyinclude two of Caltech's ownTrustees, Frederick G. Larkin Jr.(board of directors of Getty Oil,Tidewater Oil, and Southern Califor­nia Edison) and Arnold O.

The Case Against

Grading at Caltech

by Elliot TarabourThe time has come for some

serious discussion on the possibilityof eliminating grades entirely fromthe academic environment here atCaltech. There appears to be quite astrong case for such action.

What purpose do grades serve? Itis apparent that they exist todifferentiate between the perform­ance of students. Now for amoment let us look at how thisconcept works on the minds ofstudents. It is obviously a cause forgreat anxiety for the student. Herealizes that if his performance is tobe measured against other studentsthen he is in competition withthem. Therefore, much of his timewhich he could spend pursuingvaried academic and intellectual

Adtnission 50<e

by Nick SmithOnly a few days remain before

the general elections, and so I feelcompelled to relate my column toone of the issues involved. It is notmy intention to endorse or con­demn specific candidates, since it isthe somewhat unfortunate fact thatpeople will elect the kind ofofficials who are as bad as themajority deserve. Instead, I willdiscuss an issue with some merit.

Proposition 18, on the CaliforniaNovember ballot, is an am­mendment to the state constitution.It would allow the use of up to25% of state gasoline taxes for usesother than road-building and main­tenance, including work on masstransit and pollution abatement. Itwould allow the voters of eachcounty to decide whither thecounty share of such funds wouldalso be used. for those hopefullyworthy causes.

The battle lines have beenshaping up quite nicely over the lastfew months, and with quite inter­esting results. The Auto Club ofSouthern California has publiclyopposed the measure, on thegrounds that less roads could bebuilt if it passed, that money shouldbe used for mass transit if themeasure were passed. It has longbeen the stand of the ACSC that

Freshmen will use eleventh andtwelfth grade GPA's. College soph­omores with Pass-Fail freshmanyears (meaning us) will have theirSAT scores doubled and no GPAused (although this is still somewhattentative). Juniors will use soph­omore year GPA.

Questions should be directed tothe Admissions Office. You nowhave the word.

Millikan Award DinnerAccording to some official

source, the source of which Icannot remember, the MillikanAward is given when deemedappropriate to an outstanding in­dividual "who has made greatcontributions to the national wel­fare through use or encouragementof scientific, engineering, or otherscholarly pursuits." The second suchaward will be presented to formerCaltech president Lee A. DuBridge,recently retired science advisor toPresident Nixon.

A dinner in honor of the eventwill be held November 24 at theCentury Plaza Hotel. (Incidentally,the first Millikan Award went toJohn W. Gardner, Secretary of HEWunder President Johnson, educator,author, etc.).

ation now sponsor the SouthernCalifornia Arms Control andForeign Policy Seminar under a$285,000 grant from the FordFoundation. The founders includeDrs. Brown, Elliot, and Gell-Mannfrom Caltech. '" We have yet tohear from Washington regarding therecent redecoration of Throop. '"

Physics CurriculumDissatisfaction with the currentContinued on Page Seven

It was learned yesterday that Caltech has received $650,000 from Mr.Clarence l. Johnson and his wife Althea to establish a chair for appliedaeronautics.

Mr. Johnson, currently Senior Vice-President of Lockheed AircraftCorp., was formerly in charge of Lockheed's "skunkworks:' where many ofAmerica's exotic military aircraft have been produced. He received his B.S.and M.S. from the University of Michigan, and was named a DistinguishedAlumni of that school. In addition, he has received honorary doctoratesfrom UCLA, USC, and his alma mater.

Such generosity from people not directly associated with Caltech is trulyamazing, for it shows that in spite of student unrest (or at least thepublicity about it). there are still people who have faith in our educationsystem and who are willing to do something about it.

With the event hardly over, theadministration's thoughts have turn­ed to what new and unusual couldbe done with Parents' Day. Thetrend seems to be away fromformalized speech-giving by deansand other such people in Beckman,a practice branded "stuffy" even bysome of the participants.

Snowed ParentsNext Parents' Day might well

involve short research seminarssimilar to those given during NewStudent Orientation this year, ifsuggestions currently floatingaround come to pass. Several peoplehave mentioned serving a buffetlunch for students, parents, andfaculty, instead of giving the parentsa rather atypical "student" lunch inthe Athenaeum.

The idea of holding Parents' Dayon a Friday, so that parents couldattend classes with their students,quickly ran afoul of the real worldwork week. However, the notion ofmaking Parents' Day morerepresentative of both the lives andconcerns of freshmen gains moment­um.

holes (Right, Left, Conservative,Democratic, etc.). Although heregards the war to be basicallymoral (the United States defendinga small country against agression, atthat country's invitation) he never­theless considers the war to be bothill advised for military and politicalreasons (he cited MacArthur's war­ning against involvement in Asianland wars) and illegal because itbegan with so-called "executivecommitments" which were madewithout the consent of Congress. Inhis speech Rousselot stated thatduring his earlier term in Congress(1960-1962) he voted against theappropriation bills for the firstmajor buildup of U.S. forces inVietnam.

Against this background Rous­selot nevertheless expressed supportfor the Cambodian incursion, whichhe described as being tacticallyexpedient and necessary for theprotection of American lives. Onthe other hand, he found immediatewithdrawal (which it seems wouldalso protect American lives) unsatis­factory because the Vietnamese areat this time unable to defendthems€lves without American iad.

During the afternoon Drop-InSeminar, Professor John Bentonrather gently accused the Congress­man of moving toward the center inan effort to attract votes. While it isentirely possible that Dr. Benton iscorrect it should be noted thatmany of the fundamental beliefs ofthe Right are shared, curiouslyenough, by the New Left.

Rousselot is opposed to the drafton the basis that it is inconsistentwith the idea of individual freedom.Furthermore, he advocates therelease of persons now held in jailfor refusing induction. He considerssuch people to be basically respon­sible citizens who are doing theirbest to get an unjust law changed.

He favors the development of theSST, but not without propercontrol of atmospheric and auditorypollution, nor at public expense. Inaddition, Rousselot urged that thefederal government divest itself ofits business operations, which thecongress(l1an described as beingresponsible for deficits of forty tofifty billion dollars per year (detail­ed figures available from his office).

Other reforms supported byRousselot include increasing con­gress' control over the military andthe CIA, modifying the senioritysystem to allow competent youngermen to serve as committee chair­men, and eliminating farm subsidieswhich keep food prices artificiallyhigh by paying farmers to producenothing.

Rousselot was defensive on thesubject of crime control. He sup­ported the concept of no-knockentry, but insisted that it can onlybe used if a judge (who must issue awarrant specifically allowing no­knock entry) feels that evidencemight be destroyed by forewarnedoccupants of a room or building.

One problem that has occupied agood deal of Rousselot's time is taxreform. He feels that even thoughthe steeply graduated income taxscale puts an unfair burden on thosein higher income braCkets, the great

by Malcolm HandteTo the amazement, and in some

cases chagrin, of liberal students andfaculty members who heard himspeak on the 19th, CongressmanJohn Rousselot turned out to besomething other than what they hadthought was the typical John BirchSociety member. Attired in a darkgreen business suit (sorry, no whitehood) he was not once heard toutter the phrase "dirty-commie­hippy-jew-faggot." On issue afterissue his opinions were at leastreasonable and in some caseslaudable.

On the other hand, Rousselotdid, somewhat predictably, accusethe Russians of wanting to bury us(which was ironic considering thatthe Chinese now accuse the Rus­sians of deviating from the Marxist­Leninist doctrine of world domin­ation and of seeking to "coexistwith decadent Western imperial­ism"). He also identified commun­ists in general as being at leastpartially responsible for violentconfrontation within this country,stating flatly that the Black Pan­thers receive financial support fromcommunist organizations.

Befitting a complex situation,Rousselot's views on the VietnamWar are difficult to place within anyone of the usual political pigeon-

There are severaldifficulties with the IS(C) defer­ment, since it can be given to youonly if you have been ordered forinduction, and you can be given aIS(C) deferment only once, for atmost one year. You have littlecontrol over when you will be givenan order to report for induction sothat you must be careful to stay inschool continuously. If you aregiven an induction order when youare not in school, you can not begiven a IS(C). Also, since you canhave a lS(C) only once, you maywish to save the deferment for lateruse.

opinion that ASCIT has an obli­gation to inform students of theirfreedoms and responsibilitiesapropos college. He suggested to theBoard that they provide $200, to bematched with $200 from theadministration, in order to purchase800 copies of a booklet entitledFreedoms and Responsibilities ofStudents in College. Published bythe American Civil Liberties Union,this booklet contains informationregarding a student's legal rights andreviews past court cases.

the ethodion got into some ratherstrange places, such as the StrategicArms Limitation Talks, where adumpy looking character in auniform marked KG&B walked overto a wall, muttering "The frammishas to be replaced," and proceededto beat on the wall with a rakehandle until he had broken awaythe plaster and the little wire thingsimbedded in it, replaced them, andrepaired the wall with a soft, lumpyplaster which left white marks onthe clothes of everyone whotouched it.

Later that day, one of theRussian diplomats announced atdinner, "It is time for the PageHouse White Wolf and TroikaPeoples' Cooperative to strikeagain!" So he laid a caviar knifebeside his coffee cup, built a rampof funny-looking red books up tothe table level, .marched up theramp and poured vodka in thegeneral direction of his cup, holdingthe bottle over his head. And asLeonid seemed to be paying moreattention to the arms of Tempes­trina Blastov (Party magazine'sComrade of the Month) than to thearmament of the United States, arecess for the talks seemed a goodidea.

After they have properly treatedtheir fellow cosmonauts with thesame thing they got, we can imaginevisits to Moscow: "Yuri, have youever wondered before how theykeep the Kremlin warm in thewinter?" "Great Lenin, Gregor!Steam tunnels!" Perplexity in com­missars' offices: "Do we have acosmonaut named Sergei Krakov?""No." "Well, he just ordered 127sets of lockpicks from the People'sSecurity Suppliers." Occasionaltechnical misunderstandings: "Whatdo you mean, this stuff wasn'tmade by Deutsches Eisen-Indus­trie?" and some disruption ofcosmonau t training programs:"Aleksandr, you are to rest beforethe centrifuge test!"

by David MillerLet's imagine, just to make

things interesting, that an alumnushas given the Institute a few millionto build the Arthur DeutschlandLaboratory of Biochemical En­gineering, and that the trustees, inorder to save on the price of land,have decided to build it on top ofthe chemistry and biology complexon the northwest corner of thecampus. And let's imagine that in afew months, when nobody thinksit's funny any more to talk about"Deutschland uber Alles, Kerckhoff,and. Church," somebody discovers away to produce large quantities ofethodion from cultures of Octo­pluvium ethodens. Ethodion?? Let'ssay it's odorless, colorless, tasteless,and that unactivated ethodion hasno known effect on the humanbody. But rising from the lungs ofanyone who has been given etho­dion is activated ethodion - etho­dion complexed with a collection ofhormones, neurohumors, and suchother chemicals as affect one'semotional and psychological state.In a closed room with an ethodion­breather, you will start acting likehim.

In Coffee?So shall we imagine the con­

sequences of putting ethodion intothe coffee of the physical plantdepartment workers? Rememberingof course that Dr. Haagen-Smit hasa gadget which will remove andpurify organic chemicals from theatmosphere, so it's not actuallynecessary to have an ethodion­breather near you.

Would it really come as a greatsurprise if someday the Tech carriedthe story of how our 360/75 hadbeen fixed by a customer engineer sothat its disk files would work onvinyl as well as magnetic oxide andoccasionally returned the lyrics ofthe Monkees' greatest hits instead ofsomething useful? Or a card readerthat only took canasta hands?

Proposition 18 presents thevoters of the state of Californiawith a very serious decision. Whichis to be more important, ease oftravel or ease of breathing? Thechoice is not all that easy, especiallyfor anyone whose livelihood de­pends upon travel or trucking. Infairness to those often called theHighway Lobby, they are indeedfighting for their way of life, anmust be forgiven for fighting likecornered wolves, for cornered theyare. Should Proposition 18 pass, thestrength of the Lobby will bediminished, and they will losemoney.

Continued from Page Twomanufacturers. The problem withthis is, the cost would be merelypassed on to the consumers.

Basically, almost everyone hasfinally admitted that air pollutionhas to be abated. The money,though, has to come from some­where. If (and again I say "if')mass transit is to be a reality inCalifornia, the money for that, too,must come from somewhere. Theidea behind Proposition 18 is thatthe cost should be distributedproportionately according to theamount of gasoline used by anindividual or company. In the caseof pollution, this does seem fair,since photochemical smog is formedlargely from automobile exhaustgases.

One basic issue remains con­cerning Proposition 18, and that is,could the money be better used tobuild and maintain roads andhighways? There is some disagree­ment over this, since it could forma trend thoughout the state. If theproposed highway system projectedthrough 1985 is to be completed,the full amount of the gasoline

This album is not bad despite itslack of spark which I feel isnecessary for a good soul album. Itis a bit too "production oriented,"but the musicians do have talent.Most cuts are fairly mediocre soulsongs with the only outstanding cutbeing "Sweet Apple Jam," whichreminds one very much of HerbieHancock's "Fat Albert Rotunda."

The symphony is more melodic,in general, than his later symphon­ies, particularly in the middle twomovements. But Mahler never letsthe themes get in the way ofproper, and in these cases, veryunique, development. I've yet tofigure out how he gets away withthe themes he uses in the thirdmovement, the Funeral March. Yethe does, and impressively, especiallythe canonical development of thefirst theme.

Bruno Walter is probably thebest interpreter of Mahler. There­fore, disregarding a couple of slightmistakes and one Mahler freak'scomment that certain sections wereplayed too slowly, Walte;'s isprobably the best performance ofthe symphony. However, this album

"The Titan" is not really anappropriate programmatic title forthis symphony, especially in themodern sense of "titan." It wouldfit better with Mahler's Second orEighth Symphony. However, if by"titan" we infer the characteristicsof the mythological characters, wehave come much closer to describ­ing the symphony. For the work ismuch more a combination of

If you like "Bolero" you willprobably like this version, regardlessof the fact that it is somewhataffected by Eugene Ormandy. Ifyou don't like "Bolero," the recordis already half lost. The other half ismade up of Massenet's "Le Cid"and some dances by Falla. They aresort of a classical flip-side.

The album has butsevern cuts, most of which followthe general style of the title song, asort of rhythm and jazz number.The group has expanded somewhat,adding more instruments and versa­tility.

Eclectic in theextreme, this collection maintainsthe illusion of unity through themutual un-whiteness of the Black,Afro-American, Chinese-American,and Indian authors, and by thecommon core of imaginative powerand counter-cultural insight.

Flawed only by the dis­appointingly sophomoric playLegacy by Charles Patterson, theanthology ranges with occasionallyasymmetric brilliance through themileaux of Satire, Fantasy, Theater,Poetry, Realism, and (O! joy!)Miscellany. Frank Chin is Fitzgerald,Updike, and soy sauce; VictorHernandez Cruz, holographic in­fancy. Ronald L.

For years Caltech has survivedwithout a reasonable Institute seal.Our present seal is no better thanthe other two with which it has co­existed or (supposedly) has super­seded. For example, why don't theclass rings use the present seal? Whywasn't the "official" seal used on theprogram for the C. C, LauritsenMemorial Lecture? Why?

For years Caltech has survivedwithout a reasonable Institute seal.It would really be nice to have aseal. We probably won't get one fora long time; designing a new sealcosts money, lots of money, but wecan keep on hoping for one.

complexity of tax laws and thenumerous loop- holes and exemp­tions frequently work against the"little man." His solution is toeliminate both by instituting asimple system based on equal ornearly equal rates for all incomelevels. Eventually he hopes to worktoward complete elimination ofincome taxes.

Rousselot tends strongly towardsisolationism in the area of foreignrelations. In fact, when he wasasked about giving Mainland China aseat in the U.N. he said, "Fine, givethem ours."

The point of this rather lengthyexploration of Rousselot's politicalphilosophy is to show that Birchers,or at least this particular one, arenot (as it seems is popularlysupposed) trying to help rich peopleget richer by robbing the poor. Infact they are working to establish asystem of laws which they honestlybelieve will treat all citizens equallyand fairly while reserving to eachthegreatest freedom of action whichis consistent with the protection ofthe rights of others.

The Lunar material was examin­ed in many ways. One method ofidentifying minerals was to photo­graph thin sections of rock intransmitted, reflected, and cross­polarized light and to identify eachmineral by the optical properties itdisplay.ed. Another useful instru­ment in analysis was the electronmicroprobe which gave a quantita­tive analysis of the elements presentin a point on a specimen only onemicron across.
