The live music begins at 4:30with a duo performing Jewish folksongs. They will sing both Yiddishand Hebrew tunes in their set.Scheduled next, are a group of Indian performers who will play various music accompanied by a sitarand a a tabla. If you are interestedin hearing what sitars and tablassound like before tonight, youmight want to listen to some oldBeatles songs written by GeorgeHarrison since he incorporatedthese instruments in many of hissongs.

Safety Firstby Lynn Hildemann
According to Hall Daley inCaltech's Public Relations Office,the Pasadena Police Departmenthas identified CaliforniaBoulevard, between rougWy Catalina and Hill as a stretch of roadwith a much higher than averageaccident rate.
To reduce speeding, the PoliceDepartment plans to set up their automated photoradar device alongthat stretch of road to photographspeeders. Initially, plans are toonly mail warnings to violators, butlater on, tickets will be issued.
In addition, a second automated monitoring device will be usedto catch cars thai run red lights.This device will not be used to is~
sue tickets, but violators willreceive warning notices.
The police department hopesthat these measures will act as a deterrent to those who habituallyspeed along California Boulevard,and thereby reduce the accidentrate in the area.
* * * *Users of automated tellers in
the Pasadena area should exercisegood judgement and caution inwithdrawing money. Automatedtellers have become popular "hangout" areas for would-be robbersduring off hours. According toMerry Keith in Caltech's SecurityOffice, police reports received byher office show that tellers near thecorner of Lake and Colorado havebeen the target for two robberiesrecently. One occurred about 10:30at night, and the other at about 6:30in the morning.

THE CALIFORNIA TECH
One can recall a time in history,in the 1940's, at a place a bit likeCaltech. Los Alamos, I believe,was the name. Scientists, busily,intensely, frantically working, learning. Discovering a whole new andamazing and majestic field. Applying concepts they had only dreamed about. Walking through Einstein's high and silent mountains.Working in the name of science,working without thinking about theresults of their labors. Consequences?What C'Onsfl(}Uences? Allwe see is brick.
Last week, the Tech incorrectlygave a photo by-line to TeresaGriffie, when indeed the photo wastaken by Alex Athanasopoulos. Thephoto is the one on the top right,page 9.
Yet the very characteristic ofCaltech that enables such accomplishments at the same timeisolates us from the world of "nonscience". That great wall, althoughimpressively and powerfully built,although creating a very productiveatmosphere, inhibits us from peering over it into the world beyond.
And so, other aspects oflife aremissed in the concentration ofscience. Where is art, andliterature? And what about thegreat philosophers and thinkers-thinkers of ideas other thantechnology. And there is still moreto life: lying on a sun-warmedbeach, riding a bicycle down asteep hill, eating bizarre foods, getting to know people and culturesand beliefs and ideas.
That great wall keeps much ofthis out, yet the issues that are addressed within inevitably have farreaching and long-lasting effects onnot just the scientific communityand the advancement oftechnology, but society-at-Iarge.
Behind the wall, science iseverything. Consequences do notexist. The real world we see on thenews and in the papers is far away.Concepts of world problems-poverty, war, pollution--allbecome reduced to technologicalterms, and have little meaningotherwise, as they lie beyond thesafe, secure wall.
2. Thou shalt deny the value ofany social or political cause whichdoes not achieve its goal. Freelyexchanged ideas are useless, freethought results in nothing, and freespeech is only worthwhile if it'sabout science and over pizza.
3. Thou shalt shun those whostrive for social justice and not forfame. If thou can't remember theirnames, then what good are theirideas?
4. Thou shalt extol the virtuesof Steve Wozniak, a man who haslost millions putting on rock concerts so that people will know hisname.
5. Thou shalt compare Apples(computers) to oranges and any efforts toward social change.
6. Thou shalt not respect effortsfor social change because J. R.Freeman discovered from the backalleys twenty years ago that theseefforts have since "mattered all butnaught," (1. R. 1:24) and this obviously still holds true.
Follow these tenets and thoushalt shave the enlightenment of J .R. Freeman. Thou shalt come toknow the shell of his "Faith" andwill be welcome to hide therein.

friends, one of whom is now amultimillionaire.
It seems that Freeman thinksthat science and technology are theonly aspects of life of any importance. This narrow-minded viewexcludes the reality that these fieldsare just part of the gargantuan array of important and difficultchallenges taken on by human beings. Science has its place in therest of society, and without thenon-scientific majority of civilization, science is an empty pursuit.
-Josh Kurutz
To the Editors:Oh ye of little "Faith" (Tech
5/13) rejoice! Unto us has come asaviour to free us from our ownconsciences. Slaves of science befree, be self-righteous, and be J. R.Freeman. In the back alleys ofBerkeley is born a truth which no manor woman can deny. Merely obeythe tenets of Freeman's "Faith" andthou shalt be free:
1. Thou shalt condemn all thosewho work for social change, because they are all "bent on modifying civilization to suit themselves."(1.R. 1:7)
FRIDAY 20 MAY 1988
By Chandra TuckerHere at Caltech, we are sur
rounded on all sides by a fortification of science and technology. Allthat we do here is in some way affected by or based on this greatwall of science.
In some ways this technologicalconfinement is wonderful. Tech isa close, intense community ofthought. Imagine thousands ofbrilliant minds all concentrated inone place, all concentrating onscience--without many of thedistractions of society at large. Aresearcher can just concentrate onpure research, forgetting all else inhis search for knowledge anddiscovery.
It is here that, as Einstein said,a man "escapes from his noisy,cramped surroundings into thesilence of the high mountainswhere the eye ranges freelythrough the still pure air and fondly traces out the restful contoursapparently built for eternity."
This is Tech: an institution having close to 20 Nobel Laureates,considered to have some of the topdepartments in the nation, perhapseven the world. In mathematicalterms, Tech equals science. Itwould take ages to go through allthe technological advancementsthat have sprung from Caltechfaculty, or mention all the Techgraduates who have gone on toscientific fame.

tion. Issuesof civil rights, women'sequality, and ecological destruction, to name a few, were thrustupon an American public thatpreferred to remain blind to socialinjustices. Because of the efforts ofnameless people, racial and sexdiscrimination is illegal, corporations that degrade or pollute the environment are taken to court andheld responsible for their actions,and women can legally obtain abortions. (Regardless of people'sstrongly polar opinions on thispractice, its legalization is regarded as a milestone in the fight forwomen's rights).
I doubt that the concerns expressed by Freeman and his pizzaeaters could possibly compare inimportance to the issues tackled bythe students whose freedom ofspeech was suppressed with teargas.
Freeman claimed that thosehanding him handbills were, "benton modifying civilization to suitthemselves." Most of them, I contend, were far more interested inbettering conditions for their fellowcitizens, as can be seen from theexamples presented above. Isuspect these people had much lessselfish interests than Freeman's

To the Editors:I strongly disagree with Jay
Freeman, who claimed in his letter last week that little came fromthe efforts of the activists of the1960's. Their contributions hadenormous impact on the events ofthe day and the quality of life in thiscountry. Freeman's faith thatminimizes the lasting effects ofthese events is dangerous al}dshould be discarded rather thankept.
The names of the people whoshouted, "Make love, not war!"may not be remembered, but theiroutcry constituted the drive to endthe Vietnam war. Freeman thinksthat Steve Wozniak made significant contributions to his fellow manby starting his computer company.When put in a less introvertedperspective, however, ending thewar had far more historicalsignificance than advancingmicrocomputer technology a couple of years.
Freeman failed to recognizethat activists of the '60's areremembered in the laws of this na-

These particularpieces provide a special challenge,in that they are performed completely unaccompanied. For thesame reason, however, Yo-Yo Mawas able to provide a performanceentirely his own. The suites arealso technically challenging. In addition to the high technical expertise required, suites 5 and 6 alsohold additional challenges. In suite5, the highest string on the cellomust be tuned down from the standard A to a G. This tuning, knownas scordatura, was' common inBach's time for at least the violin,and gave the player the advantageof certain chords which wouldotherwise be difficult or impractical. In suite 6, an extra E stringwas added above the A string,which not only makes the suitetechnically harder, but presentscertain interpretative problems aswell. However, on the modem cello, which does not easily accommodate an added string, theperformer must compensate withhigh positioning on the A string.
Yo-Yo Ma was born in Paris,and began studying the cello at agefour. Later, he continued hisstudies at Juillard, and graduatedfrom Harvard University. He hasplayed in a string quartet withGidon Kremer, Kim Kashkashianand Daniel Phillips. The four haveplease see YO-YO MA, page 4
FRIDAY 20 MAY 19883
by Eugene LitIn his performance of Bach's six
suites at the Ambassador Auditorium last weekend, Y0-Y0 Maonce again proved his standing asone of the world's foremost cellists.Mr. Ma performed suites Nos. 1,5 and 3 on Saturday, and performed the remaining suites on thefollowing evening. Although hisinterpretation of the suites was veryorthodox, Yo-Yo Ma's distinctiveintensity and concentration madethis performance unique nevertheless. It was a privilege and a delightto listen to his flawless performance. Although I only attendedthe Saturday performance, I amconfident that the Sunday concertwas of equal caliber.
Unfortunately, the acoustics ofthe Ambassador Auditorium, wereperhaps not as flawless. Althoughthey were fine from my seat,another member of the audiencereported that the seats near the backof the hall were plagued with extraneous sounds from the outside,as well as poor sound projection.Outside of this, there were additional problems with the electricalsystem, including a variance in theauditorium lighting during Mr.Ma's performance, and also an annoying high-pitched drone duringthe first half of the performance.During the second half, however,these problems were eliminated.
The six suites were apparentlywritten by Bach for Christian Bernhard Linigke. As the name implies,each suite is composed of a num-

and 1965 and the work waspremiered at the Aldebugh Festivalon June 19, 1965. Ms. Ollick andMr. Chu are scheduled to play theVariations in its entirety.
Also on tonight's program isMozart's Quintet in E-jlat Major,K452. A group comprised of 4 undergraduates and Delores Bing willperform the second and thirdmovements of this historicallywell-received composition.
The quintet, which was originally written for woodwinds andpiano, will be played by strings andpiano this evening. Mozart wrotethis quintet in March of 1784 andduring that month Mozart also performed 20 concerts and composedtwo piano concertos! Quite a bit ofwork even for a musical genius.This quintet was very well receivedat its premiere in 1784. Mozartlater wrote a letter to his father stating, "I composed two grand concertos and then a quintet, whichreceived enthusiastic applause. Imyself consider it to be the bestwork that I have ever written... "
In addition to the works by Britten and Mozart, the other piecesthat are scheduled for performanceare Trio in A minor, Op 114 byBrahms, Trio in G minor, Op 63by von Weber, and Trio(1926) byPoulenc. The trios, while lackingmore interesting names and background stories like the first twopieces, promise to be musically interesting and varied according toDawn Sumner, a member of thevon Weber trio.
Music, especially chambermusic, was never meant to be aselfish art form. Although the performers have the main role byplaying the music, the audience isequally important because musicmust be shared if it is to be performed correctly. The audience isnot just a group of people that arelistening to a performance but agroup of people that are actually involved in the performance.
Become involved in Caltech'schamber music program by attending tonight's concert at DabneyHall at 8:00. It's an easy and inexpensive way to listen to and participate in some great music.

The most interesting piecescheduled for tonight is the Gemini Variations by Benjamin Britten.What makes the composition unusual is that the performers, TraceyOllick and Christopher Chu will alternate between playing piano andtheir other instrument- flute forTracey and violin for Chris duringthe course of the variations.
The 14 different variations thatcomprise the Gemini Variationswere written by Britten for ZolHmand Gabor Jeney, two twelve yearold twins that were the sons of oneof Budapest's most distinguishedflute players. As Britten wrote,"... they approached me and charmingly, if not forcefully, asked meto write them a work. Though Iclaimed that I was too busy, myrefusal was brushed aside..."

In Australia, Mick uses hisknowledge of the Outback and a bitof street smarts to provide evenmore entertainment. Since Ricoand his boys are tracking Mick andSue, Mick sets some traps forthem. The best one (in my opinion)is the one that uses Sue's bra as thebait.
What made the original moviea success was its ability to makefun of life. Mick was perfect to dothis: he was someone with a different perspective. Fortunately thisis preserved in the sequel. But whatmakes this movie triumph over theoriginal Crocodile Dundee is thatit goes beyond the Austrailiannovelty of the first movie by addinga genuine story.
Ifyou do go and see this movie,be sure to stay for the credits.You'll get a laugh out of the namesof characters like Mohawk Punk,and Toilet Citizen. The music byPeter Best is also worth the wait.
Crocodile Dundee II opens today at a theater near you. Don'tworry about missing it, fm sure itllbe around for most of the summer.

Crocodile Dundee IIWhile shopping with reporter Sue Charlton, Dundee continues to discover how funny life in New York City can be.
4THE CALIFORNIA TECH
by Stephen LewGoing to the movies today isn't
the same as it used to be. It seemsas if every summer, Hollywoodproducers decide that everythingwas so great last summer that theyshould do it all over again (Rocky,Friday the 13th, et al).
Before I went to see CrocodileDundee II, I was skeptical. Couldthe sequel of a movie could be better than the original? After seeingCrocodile II, I think so.

Tom's most famous complaint- "Mom always liked you best"was not in evidence and perhapshas been retired forever (thebrothers' mother passed away earlier this year). But the ability of theSmothers Brothers to play endlessvariations on their sibling ribaldrykeeps their show fresh andexciting.

by Gavin ClaypoolIt really happens. Your horse

Tom and Dick Smothersbrought their stage show to acrowded Beckman Auditorium lastFriday, riding on the wave of theirrecent triumphant return to network television. Backed by theMike Preddy Trio, their songsinterrupted-by-comedy routines,often familiar to their fans andviewers, were warmly received.
In his nod to the concert locale,Dick mentioned that the brothershad grown up in Altadena, not farfrom Caltech. Rhetorically, heasked Tom to think about "howmuch advancement in science andtechnology has happened here [atCaltech]." Tom responded(hypothetically), "About 137,000metric tons."
In an excellent piece of musicaltransposition and one-upmanship,Tom and Mike Preddy performed

by Larry ChengAs the sun sat low on the
horizon, we pulled up to the majestically sihouetted Athenaum. Mycompanion looked simply beautifulin a peacock-and-Iace dress elegantly reminiscent of a Southernbelle's. I, of couse, sported a perfectly matched tie and cumberbundwith a traditionally tailed tuxedo.As I escorted my lady from the automobile, I could not help but notice that the campus around me hadnever looked so dreamlike orromantic.
Once inside the Athenaum wewere greeted by the many perfect1y dressed ladies and gentlemenwho would share this special evening with us. We occasioned uponsome white Zinfandel, had photographs taken, then left, glasses inhand, for a romantic stroll downthe Olive Walk.. ..
We returned in time for thetruly delicious prime rib dinner,with onion soup and all the accoutrements, served in the Athenaurn's grandest style. Theatmosphere was elegantly formalyet romantic, like a Rennaisancepainting, the dim lights and highwooden walls of the room givingme the impression of being in anold French chateau. Conversationduring the meal was pleasant andentertaining, and the Chardonaiswas execellent. After the sumptousmeal, we were treated to the finemusical talents of the band Scandal, who delved into current hitsand older favorites as well. Wedanced until we dropped- and ofcourse, the slow dances were thebest.
My lady and I took a few moreromantic strolls through campus,and I shared with her my favoritehiding place, where we rested andshared each other's company by thelight of the stars. Soon, we madeour exit in order to escape to thebeach and share some sips of ourprivate champagne against thesound of the night surf. All in all,an excellent Formal, 1988.

We snuffed 4 oftheir 6 extra point attempts, and they didn'tstop any of our 0 attempts, despite da Peach's (names have been randomlydefaced to exploit the guilty) handoffs to Daniels, and some amazing fakesby our blocking line.

It was one ofthose days. Three and a half hours of grueling chem lab later,I was looking forward to a relaxing afternoon in my room. As I recline in myskybed boudoir, the image of my TA asking for last term's lab note book slowlyfades to soft oozing pizza...Suddenly, my room explodes into a phantasy phrenzyof scintillating neon. Oh no! Did I say oozing? ...
A knock on the door. "Hi Anna!" AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!Soft blue light emanates from the fissures in the door. Do I make a break
for it? Or hyperspace out? Strange music pervades the background. I knewwhat I had to do. "Twin Sister!!!!!!!" The blue glow ebbs, drowned beneaththe pounding of feet. Ack! ROOM PICK! I had to make a break for it. I stealthilyscampered across the house, ducking into cabinets and empty trash bins, evadingthe wandering eyes of a dozen googly frosh. Oh no! A Brad! He's seen me.AAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH! Leep-Iaser! Leep-Iaser! Inactive.
Whew! That was close. Better get away. I whistled through Cannes, sloshedthrough Pub, trudged through the Swamp, ducking frantically into a room fullof nerd machines. On one glowing terminal, I saw my life being played outby Dr. Death. His fingertips dancing magically on the keyboard, a sly smirketched into his thin visage.
"Dave! Dave! What can I do?" I shouted spaztically as a thousand technicolor James's converged on glowing "A".
"Get a clue, you stupid frosh. Drop a glom-bomb."The screams of a James and a Brad fizzling into a slimy pool of molten
glom lightened my heart. The worst was over.Yet somehow I knew, the game would never end.A knock on the door. "Hi Tanya!" . , .

Lloyd: Well, the results from Lloyd roompick are in:In the once kick-ass alley of Inferno, the combination of President Dave
and VCC Gil has scared away everyone but the luckless combination of EricKassan and Scott Harris who were locked in because of their position as laston-campus pick. Have fun with all those frosh, Gil.
The alley of Tropically has maintained its stature as geekbox central, despitethe departure ofthree critical seniors, by gaining Curt (the Nazi) Hagenlocheras VCC and by luring Dave (Aphid) Townsend away from Inferno and picking up frosh prospect Mike (Kazor) Rozak.
With Craig (Digby) Sosin as VCC, Valhalla could not help but be a popular alley. Top frosh pick Steve (Yuppie Geek) McLaughlin and his roommateNate (Nathan) Hieter moved there so they "could be close enough to showerthe President, but far enough to avoid his music." The unusual combo of Matt(Killer) Maloney and Raif Majeed cited similar reasons for their pick into thealley. In a surprise move both Bassem (Headbanger) Mora and Tom (Zoomie)Bewley moved way, way off campus, giving service to the house as the reason.
The women of Lloyd couldn't get far enough away from Headquarters nowthat Jack L. Prater is VCC. The paranoia even extended to the normally fearless Juniors of the alley as they packed their bags for the nearest off-campusalley they could find (namely, Corona). Sean Johnston and roommate DimitriKirill threw caution to the wind and decided to brave the reign of Prater, asdid the pair of Brendon (Mantis) Lasell and Ben (Moose) Funk, who are possibly the only people in Lloyd capable of keeping the Prater boy in check.
Kaos became the alley for sports information with Larry (The Commissioner) AhIe as VCC, attracting the Hillman, Rob (Redbird) Grothe, John(the Belcher) Haba, and Doug E. Frosh. In a surprise move, the oriental shedevils Janet (anti-Earl) Lai and Anita (Beelzebub) Lee, moved to the alley to"continue their war on the Negro race".
With the incompetent duo of Karen (VCC) Oegema and Alecia (one arminversion) Chen rooming together, Virgin Islands promises to be the funniestalley in Lloyd. The arrival of Tara (sit down!) Kirby and Carol (Big Bird)Mullenax will only add to the mirth and ridicule. John (the ideal) Gass andMyron (Keeper of the gateway of Kazor) Ahn moved to the alley so, as myinformant's tell me, they can continue their bizarre genetic experiments.
Finally, the alley of the Cave of Fingal. With me (Mr. Cartilage) as VCCand the Storm as my roommate, Fingal's promises to be the happening alley.This initial placement has caused an influx of the best frosh in Lloyd: Ian (funny hair) Dutton, Chris (flaming liberal) Myers, Stephanie (Rag Doll) Shors,Yip, Jeff Hagen, and Doug Peterson. When questioned about his having tworooms, Doug mumbled something about bonus roommate action.

People looking at the Ath Friday night saw the strange sight of Brian dancing with a hot babe in a slick black dress. They danced in the moonlight, thenthe mysterious lady vanished! Well, what has Brian been up to? Everyone whowent to the Formal was treated to prime rib, a souffle and a taste of Gaby'sdaring new dress. When Gaby made her entrance, a chorus of "ooooh"'s wereheard. It's perfectly true!
Everyone enjoy Ditch Day? Ditch Day was extra yummy delicious. Amongthe heroic actions I heard about: Charles Cook single handedly dropped fiveyears of classes; Drew, Eric and company wore heavy leather armor in 100degree heat to tear into a car (they were saved from exhaustion by Dave Lee'sbribe); Josh and his intrepid company sailed the seas in the good ship Daihatsu; and the one I appreciate the most, George, Gaylon and pals killed WesleyCrusher. (Yea! Yea!)
Last weekend was BDR. It was a fantastic fun-fIlled party with lots of musicand good food. (Translation: I haven't the slightest idea what went on. Sorry.)
Also discovered this weekend--- Masculinity can be measured by body hairsper square inch. This was found to apply especially well to Jerry and Cookie,but Samer flatly contradicted the hypothesis.
Room picks are over. In a fiendish plot uncovered by our courageous leader Tom late Thursday, it was found that Charles Budney had been killing offprefrosh to make room in the house for his favorite frosh, Kitt. Kitt, unawareof this great favor bought a house (5 bedroom) with money she made last summer, and peopled it with Tom, Cookie, and herself. She calls it Target House.Other tidbits about room picks. My fall room pick may look like the smallestroom in Cherry, but it has a transdimensional gate under the sink (Don't tellCorbet). I used it, when Corbet wasn't looking, to go to Maryland a lot thislast week. So to all you who got rooms three times as large as mine, hal
Welcome Doug Evans! Did you know that Sam Weaver gets a percentageof the dues of everyone he convinces to be a scurve? It's perfectly true. Andwelcome Chandra! My rotation roommate has finally come to her senses.
This summer Drew is going to be teaching physics to high school students.Imagine being a SSSSP high schooler and going to class at nine in the morningand seeing this hairy thing (you know how Drew looks in the morning; allhair, no brain.) trying to teach young impressionable boys and GIRLS (Thecute ones are too young for even you, Drew, and a lot smarter). I think theywill all get a sudden yen for biology.
