Here Comes Kelly's Heroes

By Michael Kurilla Sad to say dear reader,

!ilematech will not be' showing lY films this week. It will iturn next week, however, with i night of Orson Welles, [eluding one of the most ~ous American films, Citizen 'tine. !This week ASCIT is presenting ~lly's Heroes. This film brings 1gether some of the regulars of )m and television. In the cast ~ people like Clint Eastwood, ~nald Sutherland, Telly Savalas, ~rroll O'Connor, and Don ackles. From the csat, it sounds ke a comedy, but from the plot o one is sure. There's a war Ding on and these guys, learn lat the Germans have stored ~ld in a town. These 'guys ~cide to steal the gold from ihihd the lines and the fun just ~gins. f Sutherland plays a hippie tank liver, O'Connor is a general, and tickles is a' black marketeer. ibviously, the action is omplicated. The comedy is' ~batable. Roger Greenspun of ~e New York Times says, Detailed and impressive in its

b bursts." If you're partial 'big heist' films and, also ial to off-the-wall comedies,

this is, iust the film for you.

"The Middle East from Within," a lec"~;n by Dr. Abraham Kaplan, professor of philosophy at Haifa Uni{e~'sity, Israel, who is currently Mellon Visiting Professor of Philosophy at Caltech, will be given Thursday, March 2, at 8 pm in Ramo Auditorium on the Caltech campus. The program, sponsored by the Caltech Y, is free and open'to the pUblic.

Thomas, Minnesota, where he majored in chemistry. He earned his PhD at UCLA in philosophy in 1942. Kaplan taught in American universities for 26 years before accepting his present position in Haifa in 1972.

A longtime advocate of Zionism, Kaplan teaches social, political, and religious philosophy, and in the past ten years has been a leader in humanistic psychology educational programs. .

Kaplan will teach at Caltech until March, when he will become resident scholar at the Annenberg Center for American Studies at USC for the spring term. Before returning to Haifa in September, Kaplan will be one of the invited speakers at the World Congress on Gerontology. at its August mec'dng in ,Y,,~.:,;.

By Joel Rubinstein Two observant techers

recently helped apprehend a thief peddling stolen calculators. Alan Loh and Larry Seiler became suspicious of a man trying to sell two calculators on campus. They contacted the Security office, which in turn called the Pasadena Police. When the police came, the thief confessed having taken six calculators from the Pasadena office of the U.S>Forest Service, where he used to work. It was only through the presence of mind of these students that this thief was apprehended.

Lee Chapman, Manager of the Security Office, wants to make students more aware of the presence of Security. He suggests that students always call Security when - they are suspicious of a crime (XI70l). Security will be more effective in controlling crime if it has student cooperation. This includes obvious things like locking valuable property, an4 being watchful for suspicious persons, Locking things is a gpod idea. in any case. Bicycle thefts run about one to three per month, and many calculators get ripped off. Car thefts average about four per year. Very simple precautions can greatly reduce the risks of theft. Mr. Chapman recommends locking your car.

Parking Parking on the Olive Walk has

been a hot issue lately. Security has been the target of some criticism for what appears to some to be unilateral actions in putting up barriers blocking Olive Walk traffic. However, Lee Chapman sees his office as merely reflecting the wishes of faculty as well as students, He said that many students have complained about the Olive Walk

Hockey' Wins Again

By Grant T. Yew The reputation of the Caltech

hockey team is beginning to spread. Inquiries from aspiring high school players have been flooding in, predOminantly from the Boston and Chicago areas. These young athletes are seeking a chance at the team tryouts and hoping for that most coveted of all earthly awards, a Caltech sports scholarship.

As the word of the Beavers' accomplishments spreads like wildfire across the nation, here in L.A. the team is increasingly intimidating its rivals. Last Sunday Occidental sent only two players to meet the Caltech skaters. Once seeing the Tech

The New York based National Shakespeare Company's production of Othello will' be presented in Caltech's Beckman Auditorium, for one performance only, on Saturday, February 25, at 8 pm.

Othello,Tlze# Moor of Venice, is one of the four great tragedies written in what literary historians call Shakespeare's period of despair. The story centers around lago's plot to destroy the Moor's love for his Caucasian wife, Desdemona. Iago is passed over for promotion, and succeeds in turning friend against friend, and husband against wife, in seeking his bitter revenge. For ticket information, call 793-7043.

The Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, under the baton of guest conductor Erich Leinsdorf,

will give concerts this Friday and Saturday at 8:30 pm and Sunday at 2: 30 pm in the Pavilion of the Music Center. The program will include: Percussion Concerto by

,Colgrass, various excerpts from the operas of Wagner, and the S i belius Violin Concerto featuring soloist Igor Oistrakh: (Info, call 972-7211).

The Albn Berg Quartet returns to UCLA's Schoenberg Hall with a new member, violinist Gerard Schulz, joining violinist Guenther Pichler, violinist Hatto Beyerle and cellist Valentin Erben on Sunday, February 26 at 4 pm.

parking, both last year, and also after the beautification and new grass. Some students say that for groceries and other deliveries they like the convenience of parking near their rooms, but Mr. Chapman has noticed that the privilege was abused more often than not. He cites examples of cars parked one evening and remaining until mid-morning the next day, It is this kind of abuse of parking privileges which led to the current policy plans, which are slated to go into effect in the spring. These have been reported in the Tech. Briefly, except for the beginning and end of every term, the planters will return to prevent Olive Walk traffic at any time. Entrance to the" area around Winnett will be restricted to non-business hours, and tlle 30-minute parkiJ.}g rule will be enforced. Mr. Chapman said that he didn't want to be mean, but those who violate, the rules will get their cars ticketed. He points out that an ASCIT committee wanted to ban campus 'traffic entirely, so the current plan is if anything too lenient.

Mr. Chapman is interested in maintaining good relations with the students. ,Security will let you into a building after hours, if you- have a reason for getting in. However, it is the policy to confiscate master keys when students are caugllt using them to get into places they do not belong. ,There is no need for, master keys because Security will always let you in if you have a good reason, If you do have a master. then at le;J~t he careful to whom you lend it. It would be a mistake to lend it to someone 110t bound by the honor system, i.e., non-techers. In any case, the one you lend it to can always be let into buildings by Security, so there is no point in taking unnecessary risks and lending masters.

Some "employment opportunities exist for students in Security. Security may hire some students as assistants to security officers to work evenings or nights. If you are interested, call ext. 1701 or visit Security at 367 S. Holliston.

s In past years, the _Masters Off~ce had sponsored frequent

exchanges (dances" of course) with Scripts College(an all-female Claremont. College). These exchanges were discontinued a few years ago (I'm not sure exactly when), under the pretext that since' Caltech is coed, they are no longer neccessary. Before you all jump on me for tearing down Tech women, let me say that my only complaint about them is their number.

These exchanges were, by most accounts, a big success. They were popular with both Techers and Sc rip tsies.

The exchange program should be restarted. They were an excellent idea then and they still are. They did, (;nd wou.ld do wonders for Caltech social life (not almost dead).

The exchanges u.sed to be run by the Masters Office. They recieved Inoney Jor theln from many sources. They are no longer getting any money for this. The sources that used to fund these dances should start funding them again. Supposedly, these sources included the student houses and the alumni association. They should start funding them again. Failing that, the institute should start funding it. It wouldn't even cost much money. $10,000, less than one B & G workers salary, would b~ enough to Jundbiweekly dances for the whole year. Anywy, it is time that the institute took an interest in their undergraduates, and this would bh a good (and inexpensive) way for them to show some interest.

In the event Cllltech is too cheap to jimd this vital program, the houses should start something like this on their own. True, they could not afford quite such a big program. But, monthly exchange dances should be well within all the house budgets,and would do wonders Jor their social programs.

Pierce College to Take on Pucksters

Continued from Page One team, the two refused to go on the ice and forfeited the game.

Despite these signs of dominance, not everybody respects the Caltech image of athletic excellence. The most notable skeptic, Pierce J .c., is coming to Pasadena (the Ice Capades Chalet) Sunday, Feb. 26 at 10:45 pm to challenge Caltech's five-game winning streak. Caltech, the underdog in this contest, has already lost three games this season to Pierce and a bloody glare of revenge is in many a Techer's eye. The team's high priest and spiritual leader has read the omens and reports conflicting signs. He has interpreted this as indicating that it will be a hard fought contest and that even the gods are unwilling to pick a favorite. The high priest has also indicated that an overwhelming show of Caltech fans may sway the powerful god of scoring, "Puck-up". His favor will ceJtainly be needed, so bring a friend.

Getting around town shouldn't cost a fortune. We have an answer for you. It's called the RTD Student Pass. For only $12 a month, you can ride anywhere in Los Angeles County, not just to school and back. Use it weekdays and weekends, day and night. Use it for recreation and sightseeing. If you're a full-time student taking 8 semester hours or equivalent, you qualify for the Pass to make RTD your supersize economy car. Student Pass applications are available at most campus business offices or student unions. Once you get your annual student pass, you purchase a stamp each month for $12. Monthly stamps go on sale the 25th of each month and are available until the 10th of the month for which they are valid. Stamps for student passes are easily purchased at most colleges, all Boys Markets, Automobile Club of Southern California, May Co. travel desks, and RTD ticket offices. You don't have to go far to find a cheaper way to get around.
