defence of ICBM silo sites. Six, he recommends negotiationsconcerning ABMs and antisatellite systems.
Speaking on the day afterthe election, Brown was notopenly critical of PresidentReagan. "I assume," he said,"that the President wants to talkwith the Russians."
He pointed out, however,that Reagan's nuclear policieshave been "very different" fromthose of Nixon, Ford andCarter. Reagan, unlike hispredecessors, has believed thatthe V .S. needed a nuclearbuildup before talks couldbegin, and he "sees the SovietVnion as the source of all theVnited States' problems."
When asked whether thePresident's policies have madethe V.S. mainland more secure,Brown judged that the key factor was the likelihood of a fullscale nuclear exchange. Hepointed out that despite themassive arms buildup of the lastfour years, few new weaponshave yet been put in place.
"Therefore, if we're securenow, we were secure then," heconcluded. "I would not saythat we'rejarther [from nuclearwar], but I never thought wewere very close."
In his talk, Brown statedthat military research could beeither "stabilising" or"destabilising." In his opinion,SDI would be a destabilisingproject. Brown implied that ifnuclear weapons did not exist,the V.S. could have returned toits isolationist pre-war policies.America would still be a superpower with great influence inthe world, he judged.
The California Seminar onInternational Security andForeign Policy was founded byBrown, as Caltech President,along with the Rand Corporation. Opinions and findings ofthe Seminar have had a directimpact on nationalpolicymakers.

First, he would notsubstitute the option of defensefor deterrence. Second, hewould "go on modernizing U.S.offensive forces." Third, hewould "reaffirm" the treatylimiting anti-ballistic missilesystems (ABMs) and would tryto hold the Soviet Union to itsobservation.

Harold Brown spoke on theStrategic Defense Initiative(SDI) in BeckmanAuditorium,Wednesday. Thetalk inaugurated the 15th yearof the California Seminar on International Security andForeign Policy.
o Brown, who was Secretary~ of Defense from 1977 until~ 1981, has recently completed a
.-& study of the new defense proI posals. Wednesday's talk was
his first public statement of theresults.
He concludes that a ballisticmissile defense is "not technically feasible." For that reason it isimportant to consider the repercussions of SDI. It would divertmilitary attention from the U.S.nuclear deterrent, and would interfere with the management ofan adversary relation with theU.S.S.R. -
According to Brown, theV.S. should not abandon thestrategy of "mutual assured
Prop. 26 School Building destruction" which hasBonds dominated nuclear thinking for
30 years. "Every president hasbeen uncomfortable with thatstrategy," he said, but "none hasseen an alternative."
Prop. 27 Hazardous Wastes In a short press conferenceBonds before the lecture Brown outlin
ed his proposals. Asking "Whatwould I do?" he proceeded togive six answers to his rhetoricalquestion.
Prop. 25 Clean Water BondApproved 73070
Bonds issued to provide forwater pollution control, waterconservation and reclamationprojects.

There is really a lot to tellabout Japan. Let me just tellyou about one day.
It was still early in the morning, and I had skippedbreakfast in the youth hostel sothat I could catch the firstsouthbound limited express outof Sapporo. That night, I hadslept in a room with no lessthan 20 other people, but lodging only cost $10 and that included breakfast and dinner, soI- didn't mind. (I was surprisedthat they put up with my snoring. In America, I think Imight have had a pillow shoveddown my throat.) By 9 o'clockI was heading down the eastcoast of Hokkaido, and I wasalmost to my destination. Asthe train slowed we passedthrough a couple of tunnels,and then from nowhere appeared fifty or so fishing boatshuddled together in a manmade harbor.

Mr. Kitsuda, a Caltech alumni,has offered two students theopportunity to work in his factory in Japan for a summer,and I was lucky enough to beone of them.
The factory produces metalparts which are stamped out bytransfer presses. For example,fire extinguisher bottles areproduced at a rate of one every12 seconds there. Part of thetime, I machined the dies usedin the transfer presses using aN/C milling machine and anEDM wire cutter. I found thisto be rather challenging work.The other job was operating arobot welding machine. Aboutevery two hours the robotwould break down and fixing itcould be quite interesting. Forthe most part, though, this jobwas like assembly-line work.(Part of the time I also taughtEnglish.)
Next summer, KitsudaEngineering Co. will probablygive two other Caltech studentsa chance to work in Japan. Ifyou are thinking about applying for this job, I would like tomake it clear that you will beworking in a factory perhaps10 hours a day, five or six daysa week without air conditioning in 100070 humidity.

To the Editor:As a concerned student, I
was very interested to hearwhat Miss Solberg had to sayin her letter detailing recentASCIT activities.
One cause of inactivity, asshe cited, was the fact thatASCIT was broke from payingbills. She indicates that studentbody irresponsibility (ratherthan BOD irresponsibility)caused a $5000 loss on theWATS phone line. The loss occurred through unpaid billsand use of false accountnumbers. As managers of theWATS line, the BOD shouldnot have a 2-month or morebilling delay (which leads tounpaid bills over the summer),and the WATS line billing codeshould automatically screennon-existent ID numbers. Afterstraightening up the mess simply by footing the bill, ratherthan cleaning up billing delaysor fixing the ID loopholes,Miss Solberg contends that "we

Of course, the big thingthat's on everyone's minds nowinvolves people and issues farbeyond the Columbia campusand New York City; it's thecurrent presidential election.The Mondale and Reagan campaign stands are almost permanent fixtures on College Walk.Come debate time, we allgather around the TV towatch, critique and talkpolitics.
While we've been watching,some of the faculty have beenintegrally involved. SeveralColumbia Law School professors took active roles inpreparing Mondale for his firstdebate. University PresidentSovern, one of Mondale'sformer professors, playedReagan earlier this month inpre-debate sparring sessions.
The 1984 election prospectsand its long-term implicationsare currently looking prettydepressing to many of us, asthe polls indicate that the majority of Americans hold muchmore conservative views thando the majority of Columbiastudents. By my own roughestimate, sixty to seventy percent of the undergraduates herefavor the Mondale-Ferraroticket.

appears to be a remainingstronghold of liberalism andstudent activism as our national liberal-conservative pendulum continues in itsrightward swing.
I say "appears" since mycredibility is limited by sixweeks of experience here and adefinite liberal bias. Nevertheless, there are some thingsabout a place that can becomeevident in a short time.
Though by no meansunanimous, the liberal sentiment does exist in a definitemajority among students,faculty, and administration; itapplies to campus, nationaland world issues.
Recent concern in campuspolitics has centered on Columbia's South African investmentsand relations among minoritygroups. Local issues like thesegenerate dialogue and editorialsin the student newspaper, aswell as organized discussionsand demonstrations. The SouthAfrican issue has been aroundlong enough that a single-issueorganization exists to battle theTrustees on it.
Whether liberal or conservative, most of the Columbiastudents I've met so far havestruck me as being at least conscious of social issues and ashaving thought through theirstronger opinions enough thatthey can legitimately back themup with confidence.

I really appreciated thechance to experience that totally different world from ours. Ialso thought it would be a niceidea to return the favor and invite two workers from the factory to work at Caltech for 3months. If they didn't comeduring the first term, it wouldseem reasonable that therewould be room for them inCaltech housing. If you are ina position where you could offer someone a job for about 3months, I know some peoplewho would really like to seeAmerica. What I had in mindwas a job in one of Caltech'smachine shops or labs. Not being able to speak the languageis really not a big problem.

He said"Euse" (Hey, how is it going). Isaid "Euse" back (It is goingjust fine). The old man asked"Doko" (Where are you headedfor?). I pointed up into themountains, and he saidsomething in Japanese which Icouldn't understand. I kind ofknew what he was saying.(Translated it soundedsomething like: "Hey, what'swrong with you?

students here doesn't necessarily lead to significantly largerclass sizes, since the studentshave such diverse academic interest and, for many topics,honors or intensive sequencesare offered. Faculty do seem tobe more distant from theundergraduates than was thecase at Caltech. Professors areusually available only duringtheir specified office hours,typically two to four hours perweek.
Another big difference between Columbia and Caltech isthat there is no honor systemhere. The size of the Universityand the laissez-faire attitude ofthe administration makes sucha system unworkable here.Consequently, all tests are proctored and access to many services and facilities on campusrequires special priviledges.
Of course the flip of thisbigness is that there is moreavailable here than at smallerschools. There exists thecritical number of peoplenecessary for many studentorganizations to form and existstably from year to year, including two daily studentnewspapers and a full-timeradio station. There are morecourses available which not only cover a wide range of topicsbut also often treat the sametopics from different perspectives. The University also offers tremendous resources; Columbia's libraries comprise thesixth largest academic librarysystem in the country.
So with the bigness of theUniversity come advantagesand disadvantages. It is for theindividual to decide at whatsize the ideal balance is struck.

Registration and billing arecomplicated and time consuming procedures here comparedto the veritable in and out flashat Caltech. Instead of there being a . single omniscientemployee at the Registrar,there are yards and yards ofcounters serving the differentschools and catering to specifictypes of problems. TheBursar's office is worse: thelong line leads to an understaffed counter where they invariably tell you that you doindeed owe them another hundred dollars.
To serve the manyundergraduates at ColumbiaCollege, the Dean's office has asystem whereby each day threeto five of the full-time deanswill have hours. You have toarrive half an hour early tosign up, but after you'vewaited, they are quite receptiveand helpful.

which reached its clearest ex·pression in the writings of thedogmatic Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, taught that occupationof the center, especially bypawns, was a principal goal ofcorrect opening play. Around1910, chafing under the restrictions imposed by this narrowviewpoint, a group of youngmasters headed by Breyer,Reti, and Nimzovich began toargue that control of the centerwas really the issue. Theydeveloped heretical openingsystems in which the opponentwas invited to set up a broadpawn center, in the hope that itcould later be undermined bypressure from the flanks. Tar·takower jokingly called thesenew ideas "hypermodern"; therebels liked the term and thename stuck.
The variation in the presentgame, the Four Pawns Attackin the King's Indian Defense, isa good example of a Hypermodern opening. Experiencehas shown that Black can ob·tain adequate counterplayagainst the White center; if,

Jazz Review
by John FourkasSteps AheadMODERN TIMESElektra Musician Records
As 1984 draws all tooquickly to a close, I find myselfready to cast a tentative votefor The Best Jazz Album of theYear. The preliminary awardgoes to Steps Ahead for theirlatest album, Modern Times.
For those of you who (forsome strange reason) are unacquainted- with Steps Ahead, Iwill give a short history of theband and their music. StepsAhead (nee Steps) was born in1979 at Seventh Avenue South,a New York City jazz nightclub. The band quicklygathered a large following inNew York and Japan (wheretheir popularity was greatenough to warra'1t cuttingthree albums for Nippon Columbia). In 1983, the bandmade their international debutwith the album Steps Ahead,featuring Michael Brecker(tenor sax), Peter Erskine(drums), Mike Moinieri (vibesand marimba), Eddie Gomez(bass), and one new member,Eliane Elias (piano). Thealbum, which features amodern approach to traditionaljazz using traditional instruments, met with critical acclaim and popular approval.The new musical style wasquite refreshing. The semiimprovisational songs,highlighted by daring basswork and innovatIve sax solos,were a welcome relief from thehundred-mile-an-hour trumpetsolos, raucous saxophone, anduninspired guitar work whichwe have come to expect frommodern jazz.
While Steps Ahead was awelcome fresh breeze, ModernTimes is a consummate masterpiece which blows the listeneraway. Warren Bernhardt hasreplace Eliane Elias onkeyboards and, as the album title might suggest, has broughtan electronic sound with him.While such an addition hastraditionally weakened themusical structure of many jazzbands, opening the door to unproductive, ruinous innovations (take Miles Davis, for example), the music of Steps

His new book FlimFlam: The Truth AboutUnicorns, Parapsychology andOther Delusions, covers thefield, from biorhythms toUFOs.

Going back to the fundamental equation, he thendefined vectors and vectoranalysis. All waterpolo vectorsmust cross and thus create apick, then backstroke back totheir initial positions, in orderthat they might go again. Hedefined the zero-vector to be acomplacent or non-driver.Then he ran into a contradiction. The result of a naturaloperation on a vector is akickout, but our man-up offense results only in a lost opportunity. Thus, applying thefundamental equation, vectorsare shit, which is a contradiction to the stated definitionabove ... well, you get the idea.
Before he let us go, Dodddefined a new binary systemfor us, one in which everythingis thought of in terms of X'sand O's, vectoring in a pool.With everything tied up in that,which we'll call the Fundamen·tal Theorem of Waterpolo, hesent us out to take our midtermexam. We all failed miserably,losing 11-6, and thus, byteam meeting, we all decided todrop on November 11.
To celebrate our decision, amassive party took place thatnight in which Mr. Waterpolodegenerated into an alcoholicstupor, a samurai drinker fromVCSD forced all to drink onPresidential order, and
'Graveman showed an incredible ability to roll quarters offhis nose. The next day, thoseof us able to get up at 5:30 amtold Dodd of our decision todrop. Along the way, we said afond farewell to our seniors, intheir last week of water·polo - ever(?)

2' sport. Take last Saturday for~C!l example. We thought we were~ going to play a tournament,s the SCIAC Westerns, against£! Oxy and Whittier. We werei wrong. In reality, Dodd usedI the tournament as an excuse to
teach us all something called"Polo Math" or perhaps"Abstract Insanity." He calledit AMa mikasa.
We were summoned intothe chalk room, no, lecture hallat 11 :30 am for our first and,hopefully, last class of theyear. Dodd opened with a proposition. "Assume we've got alarge concrete bowl 25 yardslong, 6 lanes wide, and 7V2-15feet deep. Let's call it a pool.Put two goals, 1 funny-lookingyellow ball, and 14 players init. We'll call that a waterpologame. Now, take this game andadd two referees, two coaches,and two benches of reserves.Now what have you got. Right,a mess." (Around this time, Iwas thinking that this was pretty simple. Just a lot of addition.) Then he broke into complex number theory. "Let's addsome fans to the 'big picture'.Well, we'll make them imaginary, since they don't exist.Now we're ready to go."(Ready to go where, to thejohn?)
He moved on to define an'opportunity' as a free shot atthe goal. "In a game, we get Xnumber of 'opportunities'. Suppose, , you blow one.Then we've only got (X - 1) opportunities. And that's shit."He proceeded to write the fundamental equation (X - 1) =SHIT on the board for us.

We started practicing without palsDoing lunges and parries to know howThe blades met and produced a screechThen one guy moved and made a reach
Everyone there was all warmed upHoping to win and be the top.

What Is Tougher Than DevelopingThe Technology Of Tomorrow?
Testing TomorrowsTechnology Today.
Megatest is a leader in the ATE industry because we are a leader in developing computer technology. Semiconductor companies cannot developand design the integrated circuitry of the futurewithout tools to test the devices. These test toolsmust be very powerful super-mini computers withfirmware and software that push the limits of existing technology. In the last nine years we have invested in hiring some of the best engineers in theworld to help us push these limits. The resultshave been tremendous: sales doubling almostevery two years, sales offices around the worldand the US, growth from a two-man operation in1975 to over 450 peopJe in 1984.
But we have not forgotten the key to our success: talented people. Megatest believes excellence will grow at. a company that values trustand friendship as an operating philosophy. Wepromote this philosophy by keeping company decisions in the open not in the board room, by keeping engineering teams small, and rewarding resultsover form. We firmly believe office politics andstatus symbols are counterproductive to our goals.

Spikers Scoreby Busy Sue
Last Saturday we playedthe Cal State San BernardinoCoyotes. They bark likecoyotes, but they're bigger.Things didn't start out toowell - a lot of people (includingthe coach) didn't show up. Andlast time we played them, theywiped the floor with us. Butthose of us that did bother toshow did well. We even managed to rally at the end of the second game. We didn't win, butwe didn't embarrass ourselveseither.
On Monday we played theWhittier Poets. They won onegame because we played badlyand we won one game because gthey played badly. In the third ~and final game of the match, 1ieveryone played out of their ':minds. We had a real battle. ~
Finally, they won 18-16. ~
Our last game is on Satur- I
day, and it will probably beaway. So, why not go to theAlumni basketball game instead? 2:00 pm at thegym - maybe I'll see you there.
