warned against becoming trollsin either social or academicways.

Getting back to student invol­vement Friday morning wereLen Erickson, Vice~President ofASCIT, who stated the basics ofthe student-run Honor System;and Dr. Floyd Humphrey, whospoke of the relief the HonorSystem gives to the teacher andscientist.

Campers were spared the agon­ies of a ritualistic Friday nighttalent show; instead, a more pol­ished talent show was presented.If Ronald Reagan were to be­come president of Caltech, an ex­cellent suggestion by Pro f.James Bonner would probablycome to reality. Rather than aB.S. in chemistry or physics andgraduate work in biology, the In­stitute would award a B.S. infour years and also a Ph.D.,more than enough for a 10% cut.

Dean L. W. Jones and Prof.R. D. Owen provided informationon the weaknesses and deficien­cies and the strength and powerof the entering Galtech student.Prof. Owen said of the Caltechstudent, "None are sure of suc­cess, but all are capable of suc­cess."

Expressing a fairly generalopinion of the camp is Alan Pet­ersen, '71, who said, "The famil­iarization could have been doneon campus. The real accomplish­ment of the camp was breakingbarriers between the faculty andupperclassmen and the fresh­men."

Perhaps the most concis'e viewof Caltech was given by Ken Tra­bold, '71. "If a student needshelp, it's there, but it must beinitiated by the student."

I wish to protest the assess­ment of $4.58 for missing silverand china and the method inwhich this charge was made.Many Teckers may not have no­ticed that the balance forwardon their bills was $4.58 less thanthat in June. Or perhaps therewas a charge for "House Break­age." This disguised collectionwas not explained; a letter en­titled "Explanation of HouseBreakage Fee" was distributedonly to those who asked for itfrom the Office of Student Ac­counts.

The letter stated that the fair­est method to cover the $2,605.95loss was to bill all 569 studentswho were in the undergraduateHouses at any time during theyear 1966-7. The preliminary in­ventory which led to this deci­sion had some serious discrepan­cies, such as a net loss of forksin the north complex and a netgain in the south complex. Onecannot have confidence in suchan inventory.

The $4.58 charge is unfair andunfounded, there being no auth­ority for such a charge in theTerms and Conditions of Occup­ancy for 1966-7. The Terms statethat a student is "responsiblefor his room and the loss or con­dition of furniture, etc., assign­ed to him." Nowhere are dishesmentioned. "He accepts respon­sibility for condition of room asstated on the (room inventory)card. Room occupants will berequired to reimburse the In­stitute for loss or damages be­yond reasonable wear and tearto rooms, furniture, house orequipment." No reference ismade to the food service.

There is still time for us toassert our rights' by not payingthe $4.58. It is up to Teckers towatch out for themselves; no one

Game Room Abuse

by Burt HousmanThe Galtech YMCA is the stu~

dent organization at Caltech pri­marily committed to affirmingand exploring all opportunitiesfor students to live more fullyhuman lives in both academicand nonacademic spheres.

No other group on campus soactively persists in giving toppriority to the total welfare ofstudents and their concerns. Thefocus of programs falls on non­academic affairs but the studentY has never hesitated to raisesignificant questions about theadequacy of existent educationalopportunities and campus life.Since the essence of the formaleducational enterprise is to be­come equipped so one does notneed to rely on exterior prompt­ing, prodding and props, the Yis delighted to encourage thosewho ask searching questionsabout their own continuing edu­cation.Girls?

What are your concerns? Your­self? Girls? Simply relating toother persons? The lure of theworld of fantasy and illusion?Brutal treatment of some humanbeings by others? Communica­tions barriers? Artistic expres-

One of the most used and best liked facilities on campus isthe Winnett game room, located below the bookstore. Open atall hours to key holders, the game room provides a variety of freerecreational activities as well as vending machines for food,drink, and cigarettes. However, the game room is also one ofthe most abused facilities, and the damage is sometimes repair­able only at high cost.

StainsLast year, the cloths covering the newer pool table and the

billiard table were replaced. Several weeks later, the expensivegreen felt on the pool table was covered with a large brown stainas a result of upturning a carton of chocolate milk. The billiardtable was missing all four of the markers, and was showing ex­treme wear as a result of incredibly careless play. The cloth onthe older table has two large rips, although it has not been re­placed recently.

Warped!Ina like spirit, many pool cues are left leaning against the

wall or across the table cushions, subject to extreme warpage,and the life of the cues' leather tips is miniscule. Table tennispaddles last indifferently, while use of the tables as eating placeshardly improves their playability.

The sandwich vender was broken into several times lastyear, and the Foosball machine, a coin operated amusement,was first circumvented and then broken by "inventive Teckers."

Partial blame can be handed to local teenagers who areallowed in uncaring keyholders, but with almost all usage byundergraduates and grads, this excuse is hardly sufficient. Theoffice of game room chairman has been filled by a quick suc­cession of rapidly unenthusiastic men. Last year, the officechanged hands three times.

RemediesSpecific remedies are available for these ills. First, the

game room fund should be raised to provide more service thancue tip repair. A conscientious (frosh?) game room chairmanis needed who knows what needs to be done. Currently damagedmaterials such as the cue rack, old pingpong paddles, and thepool triangles should be replaced with sound equipment. Bever­age container holders Iike those used in professional bill iard par­lors coud be installed, thus saving damage to the tables. Theonly true remedy, nevertheless, is for every key holder to treatthe game room as a privilege and exercise care and discretionin its use.

Walt Conley exits, and thensomething strange occurs withinthe walls of the Pasadena IceHouse. A pop-rock group sets up,with electric guitars and drums.This is the Lost and Found, agroup of £lve including a talentedgirl singer, a pretty good bassplayer (Dell Ramos, Larry Ra­mos's brother), a mediocre leadguitar, a tenor singer and rhythmguitar player, and a drummerwho could be good when he tried.They played mostly new or orig­inal songs in an older, almostamatuerish style. They weren'tvery well organized when wesaw them, but they had a goodsound, with excellent harmony.

So that's the show: Steve Mar­tin is entertaining and funny, ifyou haven't seen him here be­fore; Walt Conley is worth see­ing; the Lost and Found have agood and different sound, butlittle stage presence.

If you can make it out to theGlendale Ice House instead, Iwould recommend it. Glendalehas a terrific October show, in­cluding, on various weeks, TimMorgall;, The Second Helping,the Goodtime Singers, Heartsand Flowers, Revelation, andBob Lind.

If you go to the Ice House, besure to call for reservations, oryou may not get in.

So it is on the early weekendshows at the Icehouse, but Iwent to the late Tuesday nightshow. There were about a dozenin the audience, four of themwaitresses. We went in as SteveMartin, brilliant banjo banger,mediocre magician, and cornycomedian, came on. Steve putson his own variety show ofcomedy, magic, and tremendousbanjo playing. He has' been tothe Ice House several times be·fore and, unfortunately, has nonew material.

As Martin retreats, Walt Con·ley advances to the front. Hedoes the traditional type river­boat-'cowboy folk songs, andmakes funny expressions at theaudience. He has a very goodvoice, but he doesn't have the

Boom Spreads GloomThe crucial point against the

SST is its sonic boom. There isn'tanything anybody can do aboutit; try eliminating gravity in­stead. The boom spreads out overan area fifty miles wide and fol·lows the SST whenever it is fly·ing at supersonic speed - whichis the idea, remember? A singlecross country flight can disturbmore than 20 million people.Moreover, the estimated 150intra-American SSTs could causemore htan a $ million damage aday. You can't get away from thesonic boom - it's worse indoorsthan it is outside. There won'tbe any more quiet forests, librar­ies, or operating rooms. But it'snot the sound itself that's so bad;it's the suddenness of' it. AndBoeing would like it everywhere,all the time.

Is there an alternative to theSST? Emphatically, yes. Thejumbo jet will be ready sooner,holds two or three times as manypassengers, flies 2,000 miles far­ther, is safer, will have faresonly 50 to 65% those of the SST,and produces no boom. All right,it's slower. You want to dragrace with the Russians? That'sfine with me - just don't usethe planet I live on.

The Boeing·FAA juggernauthas virtually convinced theAmerican people that the SST isthe wave of the future, despitewidespread opposition in Con­gress. Americans are captivatedby speed, and an 1800 mph jetappeals to them. Also there isthe issue of patriotism; if wedon't build an SST, and othernations (read: the Soviet Union)do, the U.S. loses prestige. Ofcourse, if the SST proves to bea flop, then who loses?

Sure you'll get to London threehours earlier. Well and good.But how often will you go toLondon? Are three hours or soout of your whole life worth theSST? And is it really the nextstep in aviation-or is it ourgeneration's answer to the Stan·ley Steamer?

Let's look at a few facts.Money - something of interestto every Tecker. Boeing and GEwill make millions, but the U.S.taxpayer will get stuck with thetab - three or four billion ormore.
