The first meeting between Dr.Hulbert and students on the ad-visory panel to the office of thePresident was held on October 7in the conference room of theLogan Learning ResourcesCenter. The purpose of themeeting was to share ideas andconcerns between the studentbody and the school administra-tion.School spirit was one of the

first topics to be discussed. Aspirit contest between frater-nities and dorms. with either acash prize or a traveling trophy,

RALLYOn Sunday, Oct. 10, Rose-Hulman Racing Association (RHRA)

sponsored its first road rally. With over 18 cars participating, the ral-ly was deemed a huge success.First place was scooped up by car Number 6. Driver Karl Fox,

assisted by John Calhoun, Mike Church and Ron Haas, all TRIANGLEjuniors, split prize money. Cash prizes of $25, $10, and $5 were award-ed to first through third places, respectively.The rally was different than most rallies in that it is judged on the

basis of distance and the answers to questions. These questions con-cerned landmarks that the rallyist was passing.

McLaughlin Wins AwardP. Kent McLaughlin, Morton

Grove, Ill., a senior inmechanical engineering at Rose-Hulman, has been awarded a $500scholarship through the ShellCompanies Foundation, Inc.,Assists Program in recognitionof his outstanding scholarship inthe relatively new field oftechnology assessment andpolicy studies.Rose-Hulman, which has been

active in technology assessmentat the undergraduate level since1971. has gained significantrecognition for its work in the

field. CTAPS was formed atRose-Hulman in 1973 through agrant from Lilly Endowment,Inc., of Indianapolis. Since thattime the college has done anumber of assessments on sub-jects as diverse as the use of coalin Indiana and its relationship tothe energy crisis to the deliveryof medical care in the state to theyear 2000.The major goals of the

educational component of theCTAPS activities are to: 1) in-troduce students, faculty andstaff to the concepts of

technology assessment. 2)stimulate dialogue betweentechnologists and humanists bydemonstrating the necessity forcooperative efforts in theanalysis and solution of societalproblems; and 3) develop anawareness among un-dergraduates of the in-terdependence of sciencetechnology and human values.

McLaughlin was the secondrecipient of the award. Last yearthe scholarship was presented tosenior Peter Deal of Andrews,Ind.

Now that I have your attention,it is a good time to bring out afew more facts and problemswith the Frosh first quartertraditions. Word has reached mefrom high places that the Froshare actually building a newRosie. and that things may not beas dire as intimated in previousarticles. Also, they have beenlucky enough to find over 2,000railroad ties, so it does appearthat there will actually be a bon-fire again this year. Things aregreat. right?Not really. The fact of the

matter is that ties just are notavailable in the quantities thatare used in a typical Rose bon-fire.

TA CourseOffered

Rose-Hulman's introductorycourse in technology assessmenthas been approved by thecurriculum committee of thefaculty for dual listening as ME414 and HS 490 and as such maybe used as either an upper leveltechnical elective or an upperlevel course in the social studies.The course, which will be

offered 5th hour MTRF duringthe Winter term, will be taughtby Professor A. T. Roper and IryHooper of mechanical engineer-ing and Thad Smith of politicalscience.The TA course presents the

current methodology used toevaluate the effect oftechnological changes on society.including the MITRE seven-stepmethod. Students also par-ticipate in a brief assessment ona topic of their choice.

Also, there is a problem withthe destruction of Rosie eachyear by unscrupulous personsusually unknown. This wantondestruction is really senseless, asit makes it impossible for her toappear at the first game of theseason, which is something thathas been a tradition as long asRosie has been with us.There is a danger that in a few

years there will not be anyHomecoming traditions with usbecause there will not be thematerials or the official sanctionof them. The school officials arebecoming more worried aboutthe increased violence of theFrosh-Soph rivalry in recentyears. and it has actually beenconsidered outlawing some longstanding customs because of thedanger of serious injury. Thereare many Seniors that have vividmemories of a bunch of guysdriving like hell around our bon-fire with Molotov Cocktails in

hand.So what can be done? There are

a lot of things that can be done torevive the Spirit of Homecoming.A suggestion for the replacementof the bonfire is to build a 50-footmodel of the opposing team'smascot to be burn to the groundthe night before the game. Eachyear the Frosh will try to outdothe previous year.Professor Hooper has express-

ed a strong interest in theHomecoming display, somethingthat was abandoned only a fewyears ago. I am sure thatsomebody would be willing tosponsor some sort of competitionto get this going again next year.President Hulbert is also tak-

ing positive action. He is spon-soring a contest for the bestbanner at the pep rally, and anygroup, housing unit, or even in-dividual may enter. So get thoseminds in gear and let's really getfired up for thePrincipia Indians!

How They Stand

Jimmy Carter Pres. Gerald Ford

Energy and EnvironmentEnergy Prices

"No, I would not favor price rising. As a matter of fact, I don't favor thederegulation of the price of old oil. I think we ought to maintain it as it is."Unnecessary electrical power plant construction should be stopped . . . Adver-

tising at consumers' expense to encourage increased consumption of electricityshould be prohibited . . . Rate structures which discourage total consumption andpeak power demand should be established."There is no need to deregulate the price of old oil. The price of all domestic oil

should be kept below that of 0.P.E.C. oil . . .""We need to deregulate the price of gas for a period of five years. During this

time, presently existing contracts will remain in force. At the end of a five yearperiod, the success of the programs should be evaluated and appropriate new ac-tions taken."

"I pursue the goal ofclean air and water, but Imust also pursue the ob-jective of maximum jobsand economic progress."

"We have to free the energy-producing portions of our economy from the kind ofregulation and control that has been imposed on it for a number of years . .

recommend the deregulation of all new natural gas . . . We have to deregulatethe exploration and development of crude oil . . . We have to make some realisticappraisals and adjustments in how we use our coal more effectively and more ef-ficiently . . . We have to spend research and development money on solar energy, ongeothermal energy and some of the other exotic fuels."In January, a year ago, I recommended that deregulation of all new natural gas.

Unfortunately, the Congress has not done that although the Senate did pass anacceptable bill. We have to deregulate the exploration and development of crude oilin this country. We have on the statute books a law that will permit us to deregulatethat industry domestically over a period of over 40 months. It was not the legisla-tion I wanted but it is the best we could get."

Energy Industry StructureQ. : Do you want the largest oil firms broken up?A. : "I haven't taken on the oil companies as scapegoats. When competition in-

adequate to insure free markets and maximum benefit to American consumers ex-ists, I will support divestiture. At present, I support restructions on the right of asingle company to own all phases of production and distribution of oil. However itmay not always be in the consumer's interest to limit a company to one single phaseof production."I support legal prohibitions against ownership of competing types of energy —

oil and coal, for example. However, I cannot promise to oppose any joint respon-sibility for any phase of production of competing energy sources."To insure maximum protection for our consumers during the coming years of in-

crease energy shortages, anti-trust laws must be rigidly enforced. Maximum dis-closure of data on reserve supplies and production must be required."

"Well, in the energy bill that I signed, that Congress passed, there is greatersupervision of the oil companies in the United States. But I don't think you producemore oil or more gas by tearing apart the oil companies in the United States.''Yes, they should be supervised and the legislation does do that and we will carry

the legislation out. But I think dismantling the oil companies at this time wouldhinder rather than help the solution to our energy problems."I strongly urge the Congress to give high priority to my Nuclear Fuel Assurance

Act to provide enriched uranium needed for commercial nuclear power plants hereand abroad. This proposed legislation . . . would provide the basis for transition to aprivate competitive uranium enrichment industry and prevent the heavy drain onthe Federal budget."I urge Congress to approve my . . . proposal to create an Energy Independence

Authority, a new government corporation to assist private sector financing of newenergy facilities . . . This legislation will help assure that capital is available for themassive investment that must be made over the next few years in energy facilities .

Nuclear Power"The private commercial production of enriched nuclear fuel should be ap-

proached with extreme caution."U.S. dependence on nuclear power should be kept to the minimum necessary to

meet our needs. We should apply much stronger safety standards as we regulate itsuse. And we must be honest with our people concerning its problems and dangers."". . . all of us must recognize that the widespread use of nuclear power brings

many risks . . . Beyond these dangers, there is the fearsome prospect that thespread of nuclear reactors will mean the spread of nuclear weapons to manynations."What we must prevent . . . is the sale of small pilot reprocessing plants which

sell for only a few million dollars, have no commercial use at present. and can onlyspread nuclear explosives around the world."

"Greater utilization must be made of nuclear energy in order to achieve energyindependence and maintain a strong economy. It is likewise vital that we continueour world leadership as a reliable supplier of nuclear technology in order to assurethat worldwide growth in nuclear power is achieved with responsible and effectivecontrols."It is essential that the Congress act if we are to take timely advantage of our

nuclear energy potential. I urge enactment of the Nuclear Licensing Act tostreamline the licensing procedures for the construction of new power plants."The Administration has requested the following FY77 funding for energy :

Nuclear power $3,554 millionI includes plant and capital equipment 1

Fossil energy development 467 millionSolar energy 130 millionGeothermal energy 47 millionThe budget includes 575.4 million for the breeder reactor and 378 million for the

development of nuclear fusion.

Alternate Energy Sources-A major immediate need is to derive maximum energy from coal, while preser-

ving environmental quality . . . Power companies and industries must shift to thissource of energy, and we must invest in improved mining efficiency, cleaner com-bustion technology, and a better transportation system for moving coal to its endusers."There is a great pressure to make synthetic fuels out of coal; to take coal and

change it into oil or gas. This is probably counter-productive because it takes a lotof energy just to change the form of coal but we do need research and developmentto make sure that when coal is used that the environment is less adversely affected."I would shift toward coal as quickly as I could, using government inducements if

necessary. I would increase dramatically the amount of research and developmentfunds that go into solar energy."

''Coal must be used increasingly as an alternative to scarce, expensive or in-secure oil and natural gas supplies. We must act to remove unnecessary constraintson coal so that production can grow from the 1975 level of 640 million tons to overone billion tons by 1985 in order to help achieve energy independence."We have to make some realistic appraisals and adjustments in how we use our

coal more effectively and more efficiently . . . We have to spend research anddevelopment money on solar energy, on geothermal energy and some of the otherexotic fuels."

Costs of Environmental Protection"Whenever there is a conflict between development and environmental quality, if

it can be resolved, I will be for the project when it can't, I would go with the en-vironment. I want to make it clear if there is ever a conflict, I will go for beauty,clean air, water and landscape."We should not be diverted from our cause by false claims that the protection of

our ecology and wildlife means an end to growth and decline in jobs. This is not thecase."

"If accomplishing every worthy environmental objective would slow down our ef-fort to regain energy independence and a stronger economy, then of necessity Imust weigh all factors involved."We must improve our understanding of the effects of pollutants and of the

means and costs of reducing pollution. As we develop new energy sources andtechnologies we must assure that they meet environmental standards."Ford's 1977 budget would cut appropriations for the Environment Protection

Agency to $718 million — $53 million less than Congress appropriated for 1976 and$77 million less than he requested in the 1976 budget.

Land Use and GrowthCarter says he would, "support the need for better land use planning. I favor giv-

ing planning assistance to the states if firm assurances are given by the states thatthese plans will be implemented and will protect critical environmental areas."

Concerning federal legislation in the area of land use, Ford said, "I am opposed toit, period. I think the state and local units of government can make better decisionsas to land use . . . than the federal government can."

Rose Upsets Hanover Harriers Drop TwoBy Mark Alspaugh

Some say football is a game ofdefense. Some say a strongoffense is the key to victory. Butall agree that when you put themboth together, the result is asuper ball team. And putting ittogether is exactly what the RoseHulman Engineers did last Satur-day afternoon, and a superb ballteam is what the HanoverPanthers were up against. TheEngineers upset the highlyregarded Panthers 27-7, and gaveHanover a two game losingstreak after 28 consecutive vic-tories.The Rose defense was almost

invincible. Hanover managedonly one touchdown which camewith eight minutes left in thethird quarter. Even then. it wasgiven up only after the defensewas assessed with four penaltiestotaling 30 yards. The Engineersecondary was impressive as itallowed only two pass com-pletions all afternoon. Yet a lot of

credit must be given to the defen-sive line, which found its wayinto the Panther backfield foreight sacks.The offense also wasted little

time in stuffing the ball downHanover's throats. Behind thestrong running of seniors GarySchultz and Kevin Kingery, theEngineer's rolled over almostthree hundred yards. Freshmanquarterback Dan Haas also con-nected on three of four passes toadd to the total.

It was early in the first quarterwhen Rose first struck. Haas andSchultz combined on a 6 yardpass for the first 6-pointer. TimJeanes added the point after.Later in the same quarter,Kingery rambled over left tacklefor the second score and Jeanesmade it 14-0.The second quarter also proved

exciting for Rose fans. GarySaultz broke loose and scrambl-ed 65 yards to pay dirt. Anotherpoint-after made the halftime

score complete at 21-0.It was in the third quarter

when Hanover finally managedto scrape up some points. But theRose offensive machine didn't letup. Jeanes booted a 45-yard fieldgoal with six minutes to go in theframe.Rose dominated the final stan-

za and Jeanes added three-pointer from 30-yards to com-plete the scoring at 27-7.The Engineers boosted their

record to 3-2 and will host OlivetNazarene tomorrow at 2 p.m. atPhil Brown Field.Rose Hulman 14 7 3 3-27Hanover 0 0 7 0-7Rose Hulman - Schultz 6 pass

ATO Hosts Glenn Residentsby Steve Rowe

On Sunday. Oct. 10, membersand Little Sisters of the Rose-Hulman chapter of the Alpha TauOmega fraternity sponsored apicnic with the orphans of theGlenn Home. Under the clear,

sunny skies the children enjoyedfootball, softball, and a good timeon the apparatus of DemingPark. They also were treated to adinner of roasted hot dogs. potatochips. and lemonade. It was avery welcome chance to get

away from the home, and thechildren enjoyed it very much.

The chapter also enjoyed play-ing with the children, and theyalso gained a very strong ap-preciation for their own parents.

- More on Hulbert, Panedent would need at least a 2.900cumulative grade point averageto be a double major. Also, twoconsecutive quarters below the2.900 average would require thestudent to drop one of his majors.The faculty reached this decisionwith no student input. Thestudents expressed a desire forsome form of student input todecisions made at the facultymeetings.

A proposal regarding seniorevaluation of the variouscurriculum was also made by thestudents. Under this proposal,seniors would evaluate andreview the entire curriculum fortheir major, and recommendchanges that they thought wouldbe beneficial. Such a reviewwould spot overlapping and in-effective courses.

The freshman year was alsoexamined during the meeting. Itwas generally conceded that amore common freshman yearwould be desirable: however, aproposal to set aside a certainday of the week as a test day, andhave common examinations, metmixed reaction.

The co-ed question was raisedat the meeting. Dr. Hulbert in-dicated that a white paper tostudy the question in depth wasunder preparation. If the studentbody favored Rose Hulmanbecoming a co-ed school, thenRose would begin to admitwomen students. However, stu-dent opinion so far has indicatedthat the student body is stronglyagainst admitting women. Areferendum on whether or not toadmit women will be held later inthe year.

During the meeting, Dr.Hulbert briefed the students pre-sent on what the administrationhas been doing. The size for thenext freshman class has been setat 340, compared with this year's365-man freshman class. A deci-sion concerning the building of anew dormitory will be reached atthe October 2 2 Board ofManagers meeting. Also, dor-mitory costs are to be reviewedthis year.

Dr. Hulbert announced thatRose Hulman is embarking on aself study for the 1980's. The

study will examine and attemptto optimize Rose Hulman's size.

A combination engineering-MBAdegree will also be studied. Thestudy will review the quarter vs.semester system, and the futureof Graduate studies at Rose. Aproposal to be examined is allow-ing students to spend their junioryear studying in Europe. A list ofpriorities is to be compiled to setthe direction Rose Hulman is totake during the 1980s.

The next meeting of the panelwill be on November 3. Forstudents who have a complaint,they are urged to contact any oneof the following members of theadvisory panel.SGA Pres. ...

Humanities OffersNew ProceduresWhen registration takes place

on Monday, the Division ofHumanities. Social and LifeSciences will be confrontingstudents with some new ideasand new courses. The THORNtakes this opportunity to informits readers of thesedevelopments.The department would like to

call students' attention to a newcourse, History of Science andTechnology (HS 227), which willbe offered for the first time thiswinter. The class will be taughtby Dr. Gale Christianson of In-diana State University. It hasbeen taught at ISU in previousyears, where it has been verypopular. Dr. Christianson looksforward to teaching the coursehere at Rose.The course in Technology

Assessment will be offered as HS49. Dr. Thad Smith will be one ofthe professors teaching thisinter-departmental offering.Students completing the classcan count it as EITHER an upperlevel social sciences OR atechnical elective in fulfillingtheir requirements for gradua-tion. but not both.When interviewed by the

THORN, Dr. Tom Mason, HSLSDivision chairman, spoke highly

of the course. "This is an attemptto integrate the program inHumanities and Social Sciencesmore closely with the engineer-ing program and to encouragestudents to examine therelationship of technology and itsimpacts upon society."These are only two of the many

interesting courses offered bythe department. Students shouldconsult the schedule for a com-plete list of classes available.During registration the HSLS

department will be experimen-ting with a "card-out" registra-tion system. The Institute is try-ing this new method out in onedepartment only to see if it willreduce registration problems andoverloaded classes.

If the system is successful itmay be adopted by the entireschool. Students are encouragedto cooperate with the newsystem, which is designed toreduce crowded classes andschedule changes by limiting thenumber of students who mayregister for a course. The experi-ment is part of the continuing ef-forts of the HSLS Division andthe school to find a better way tocomplete the registrationprocedure.
