Caltech Backs GeneAn expanding group of Calteeh

stUdents, faculty members, andemployees has joined in the ef­fort of many university commu­nities to help Senator EugeneMcCarthy gain the DemocraticprEsidential nomination.

About thirty Caltech peoplehave already been involved inthe door-to·door can vas sin gwhich characterized the accom­plishments of the Senator inNew Hampshire and in Wiscon­sin. This number has become in­volved early because the Califor­nia Democratic Council, an or­ganization with widespread back­ing which endorsed McCarthy'scandidacy long ago, has had itsmachinery in operation for sev­eral weeks. The Minnestoan's na­tional staff', meanwhile, arrivedin California only a week ago.Faculty aid McCarthy

Consider the question of socialopportunities. The range of cho­ice that a student can make isnarrow at Caltech. However, hav­ing attended both Berkeley andUCLA, I would observe that theserious students choose a socialcareer quite similar to those ofTechers. There were the trollsand there were those who foundtime from their studies for acti­vities such as you have engagedin. Do not think that ten roadsfrom which to choose gives youmore variety than two or three,when you can take only one.Would the average Techer chooseone so different if he were at an­other school?

The second of your two arti­cles: The Caltech Myth, disturbsme. I have been trying in myown mind over the last f'ewmonths to come to grips' with theproblems you raise, both as amember of the faculty Aims andGoals Committee and, in thewider sense, as a responsiblemember of the faculty. My pre­sent thinking is distant from theline you are following. I do notmean that it is at odds with yourthinking or that our views areinconsistant. Rather, there seemsto be a disturbing void betweenour points of view. Since I havethrough valued personal contactwith you, come to respect andtrust you as an outstanding hum­an individual, I am troubled bythis void between us.

You conclude, on the basis ofwhat seems to me a superficialcomparison, that a stu den tshould choose Berkeley or Stan­ford over Caltech. By superficialI mean two things, first that youlimit your comparison to suchgross similarities as the courselistings in the physics curriculumor such gross dissimilitudes asthe range of' social opportunities;

IVleditationAfter a statement by the guru

that a 11 problems diminishthrough Transcendental Medita·'tion, he was asked by severalmembers of the small groupwhether any problem would be'solvable this way. When theMaharishi answered in the af­firmative, he was then asked ifhe thought that the poor couldovercome th€ir problems in thismanner, he replied that the poorwere poor because the y wereeither lazy or stupid. From thispoint on, the discussion centeredon the political implications of'the Maharishi's philosophy, in­stead of the psychological andphilosophical aspe'cts which thegroup had investigated at theheginning. The argument rangedfrom Black power, the violent as­pects of which he decried, tothe caste system in India, aquestion which the Maharishiskillfully dodged.

Along with the Maharishicame the director of the StudentInternational Meditation Society(SIMS), and a number of theguru's disciples from UCLA.These young men and womeneagerly testified how Transcend­ental Meditation had changedtheir lives and raised theirgrades. The Maharishi's agenttold us that the guru held a bach­elors degree in Physics from anIndian university, but what fewscientific statements made bythe Maharishi belied this' fact.For example, in the public talkthe Maharishi claimed that earth­quakes were due to emotionaltensions in the atmosphere. TheMaharishi was interested in talk­ing to scientists and science' stu­dents, but the only thing heseemed to have gotten out of' hisvisit here was some free' public­ity, and the right to college-dropthe name of Caltech.

Last Thursday, May 16, any­one walking past Dabney Gar­dens in the e a l' 1y afternoonwould have ben able to see asmall group of Tedhers, includ­nig S'ome faculty, sitting aroundin a circle arguing with an oddly­clad Indian, who was idly toyingwith several fresh roses. Thisgroup was a private session withthe notorious' Maharishi MaheshYogi, which the latter was hav­ing filmed for a documentary byFour Star Productions to be en­titled "Maharishi". As the ses­sion proceeded, passers-by amb­led into the Gardens to watchlisten, and sometimes to partic~ipate.

The original group invited bythe Caltech YMCA, who sponsor­ed the guru's visit to campus, in­cluded Dr. John Weir, Prof. LeonSilver, Wes Hershey, Guy Smith,this writer, Chris Dede, BarryLieberman, Helene Silverblatt,and Ben Barker After the filmedsession, the Maharishi spoke onthe Olive Walk to a throng ofthree hundred persons, mostlyfrom Caltech. He started off bothsessions with a brief discussion­Transcendental Meditation, howit works (in general, not speci­fics of the technique), and howit helps the individual to greaterhappiness. It was claimed thatmeditation was more restful thandeep sleep, and that it increasedan individual's reserve of energy.The Maharishi described themeditative state as one of' "lessand less feeling, less and lessthinking" where' one completelyrelaxed from the strain of beingon the go all the time.

Just imagine thepride each undergraduate fee'ls,as he looks at the bookstore hehelped build, magnified six orseven time's. Secondly, the in­crease in textbook prices willcause the students to value theirtexts (and consequently their·education) even more. Finallythe increased profits' can go intothe Institute Endowment Fundsand redLlce the cost of educationfor undergraduates. The supportof responsible student leaders(such as lVIr.

lVIr. Cooper and Mr. Stein havepointed out that the bookstoreprice policy has enabled the In­stitute to give the students abookstore at no cost to the In­stitute Endowment Funds. Thisis wonderful because of the greatconvenience of the bookstore.The eaitors, contradicting theirown reasoning, are in favor ofgiving a 10% discount on book­store purchases as soon as' thepresent loan is paid. I must pointout that the Institute will be ableto give us even more buildingsif the present price policy is con­tinued. I go even further. Byadding a mere 10% surcharge onstudent textbook purchases, theInstitute will be able to increasethe Institute Endowment Fundswhich partially go to support theundergraduate population.Erection

will be a Monterey InternationalPop Festival this year, a numberof smaller festivals are beingheld in various parts of the coun­try. Such a festival was held lastweekend in orthern California.The Folk-Rock Festival beganon a hot Saturday afternoon withmany of the top groups in thecountry. As was evidenced bythe groups who performed, tileblend of acid-blues is becomingvery popular.

One of the lesser known groupswas the Chrome Syrcus whoplayed in a style that can becharacterized as "STP" music.In addition to the usual rockequipment, they feature goo dflute work and a organist withan evident jazz background.

The highlight of the day wasthe four final groups. Beginningwith the Steve Miller Band, theaudience was treated to some ex­tremely good hard blues with ex­cellent guitar work. Their selec­tions included "Stepping Stone"and "Fanny Mae" and was' notat all like the experimental musicas played in their album. Theiralbum music involves studio elec­tronic effects and strange voiceand instrumental mixtures rath­er than the straight-forwardblues ot' their show. Their per­formance was really fantastic.

' ..'0 the Editor of theCalifornia Tech:

In the publication of 'Drugsand the Caltech Student', the In­stHute devoted its time and ef­fort from all levels to a proble'mwhich its leadership must havefelt was important. However, itseems to me that this is a fine·example of the Institute's pre­occupation with the lesser prob-'lems of our time and its apathytowards the great ones.

Probably far more biologicaldamage is done to us by the pol­luted environment we live inthan by the drugs we mistakenlyconsume. The wrong representedby our legal deprivation of mil­lions of our citizens ot' equalitythru an inadequate social welfareand educational system, and out­right racial and ethnic discrim­ination, is far greater than thatof the students flouting the lawand ethics of our society by seek­ing thrills and escape via drugs.CQ,CQ

In terms of technology, Cal­tech is certainly well equippedto address the problems of pol­lution. The future stability of oursociety seems to demand that we

The lighting effects of technicaldirector Bart Gordon, however,were excellent. Mr. Gordon welldisplayed the ability to producedifferent moods and settings sole­ly through the use of lighting ef­fects. Especially excellent werethe sequences in the interior ofthe Castle, during the fire in thevillage, and during the closingscene of the musical. Indeed, thesimulation of a sunrise couldalso be considered a highlight oftl:1e musical.Marat/Sade

Thus, although with somefaults, Producers Bill Drake andVince Johns, as well as all themembers of the cast and produc­tion staff, have the right to feelproud of the job they did. Andwe have only one question."What is going to be next year'sshow?"

-Alan SteinDavid LewinJim Cooper

~Many times the audience wincedinwardly as members of the or­chestra were half-a-note off key.The good acoustics of BeckmanAuditorium in this case provedto be a distinct disadvantage.

The leading roles in the castall were more than adequatelyfilled. Though lacking somewhatin singing volume, Chris Reed asCaptain Diaz was very convinc­ing in his portrayal of the elder­ly l'lsherman and gave the char­acter a depth which some of theother characters lacked. GlennPrestwich as David, the survey­or, and Shari Friedland of PCCas Teresa, a village girl, were ex­cellent in their duets. Island, low­income world traveler played byTerry Bruns, was somewhat shal­lower in character than others,hut Bruns sang his role well. Asimilar statement could be madefor Maria, played by Karen Gil-,lett.Pixies are really moles?

Jeff Moller as a ghost-like pot­ter who inhabited the' Castle,was very good. His mannerismsespecially suited that of thepixie-like character he portrayed.Little Fiamma Barragato, a jun­ior high school student, as Lisa,a small village girl, added con­siderably to the musical.

The supporting cast were alsoof good quality. Special mentionshould be made of the singingtalents of Dan Nemzer, who por­trayed John, the foreman of theworkmen; and of the great danc­ing talents of the choreographer,Dick Neu. In a brief "cameo" ap­pearance Dr. Jurg Waser, Pro­fessor of Chemistry, portrayed apriest. He performed as well ashe does at any of his chemistrylectures. (On Friday night therole was given to Dr. H. F. Bohn­enblust, Professor of Mathema­tics. )

The technical end of the pro­duction also deserves some men­tion. The costumes designed byJanet Wray were colorful andappropriate. The set design byMike Kahn was also very good.

by Jim Cooper"He who enters the Cas tie

shall see a strange day and shalldiscover the wrath of the ages."

Those who attended the 3rd an­nual ASCIT Musical, The Castle,certainly saw a strange day; Le.,Caltech students writing, direct­ing, produCing, and performingin a musical. Fortunately, how­ever, the word "wrath" in theabove quote turned out to actual­ly be "wealth," for those whoentered Beckman Auditoriumlast Friday and Saturday nightsto view The Castle received anevening of good entertainment.

The plot of The Castle dealswith the need of societies - inthis case that of a small, Spanishfishing village - to have somekind of historical or cultural her­itage. Further, the musical statesthat a society must be willing todefend its heritage in order tosurvive. Two recurrent sub-plotsinvolve a love story (of course)between a you n g surveyor,David, and a village girl, Teresa;and also the story behind theCastle of Pelayo itself.Rogers & Hammerstein

The book by Dan Nemzer isexcellent, as are Mike Garet'smusic and lyrics. The storymoves from one scene to thenext at a good pace, and songssuch as "My Own Little' World"and "Wher·e Does the Sun Go atNight?" have a tremendous pop­ular potential.

Choreographer Dick N e u ' swork is also to be highly regard­ed. The dance numbers in themusical are undoubtedly thehighlights of the show, especial­ly the interpretative dances of"Pageant: The Legend of KingRoderic" and "Pelayo." Theselatter numbers are of profession­al quality.Aristotle strikes back

The major flaw of the perform­ance rested in the orchestra pit.Although laboring valiantly un­der the baton of Jim Downum,the orchestra simply could notfunction too well as a group.

Next year the Institute and the student body will have toadjust to the loss of many of well loved and influential personnel.Drs. Henry Borsook, R. B. Corey, A. L. Klein, Alfred Stern, R. E.Untereiner, and Fritz Zwicky are to become professors Emeritus.Dr. R. B. King is retiring and L. W. Jones will become Dean ofAdmissions, Emeritus. Leaving the Institute are Drs. Alan J.Ardell, A. J. Boucot, Morris Brown, Din-Yu Hsieh, Donald E.Knuth, Russell M. Pitzer, Bob G. Sanders, and Bob Woodbury, aswell as Mr. Caleb W. McCormick and Dr. John Weir.

Leaving the noble ranks of the Campus Cops is Officer"Fig" Newton. No longer will students be able to caress hisfurrowed brow with water balloons nor enjoy the use of his hot­rod cart.

Burt Housman, the executive secretary of the Y will not bewith us next year. The impact of Burt and the Y on campusneeds no elaboration.

The editors of the Tech thank these people for their serviceover the past years, and regret their loss. We wish them allgood luck in their future endeavors.

you, the very social conscious­ness that you rightly claim isessential to the humanistic man.We at Caltech believe that activeresearch is essential to the teach­ing of men like you precisely be­cause it is the emotional drivethat motivates the research thatin the final analysis countersyour change of social apathy.

There is, moreover, much ofmy time that I do spend in teach­ing and working with students.When I sit down of an eveningto plan my next class, I strugglewith the question of what to say.In my area, in particular, I thinkmuch of the material is of littleintrinsic value; once my theoryis complete it will bypass somuch. But my theory is not yetcomplete, and a lot of the mater­ial I distain is thought by col­league's on this faculty to be im­portant. 'What balance in teach­ing the old or ge'Sturing passion­ately about the new should Ikeep? I think you would be sur­prised at the number of anguish­ed hours spent by members ofthis faculty in seeking, each inhis own way, this balance. Andwhen there is always that selfdoubt, the very self doubt thatwhispers "challenge" into one'sear, do not be too surprised thatwe too often tend to lecture onthe same old stale material.

It is then that we so deeplywelcome those students, andthere are so many at Calte'ch,who come to meet us half way;those who pick up an idea whenwe know how ineptly we haveput it; those who go right onwith a project when a faculty

'- ....1

Indispensable"Areif I were a young high schoolsenior, vitally and long interest­ed in say astronomy, if I foundmy greatest rewards in serious,solitary study, if I did not par­ticularly feel at home on a super·'campus, I would find Caltech anattractive place. Can you saythere should be no place for sucha person, a person whose chancesare much higher than that of theaverage to make a significantcontribution to the view of' man­kind toward the stars, and thusto the view of mankind ultimate­ly toward himself?

Another issue that you raise isthat of the social consciousnessof the Calte'ch faculty memberand the Caltech student alike.As you say, we are face-to-facewith a number of serious socialproblems. But I do not see yourimplication that we should alldrop whatever we are doing toconcentrate only on these crisisart~as. Con:::ider, for example, theproblem of the' management ofurban waste. You are well awareof air pollution problem:::, whatabout the pollution of' our beach­es due to sewer outfalls? That isnot an urgent problem now be­cause of the steady, long-termwork of Caltech scientists-workdeeply founded in social con­sciousness. Air pollution itself isunderstood because Caltech sci­entists care. A Caltech scientistput an illustrious career on theline to oppose atomic testing,winning not only the Nob e 1peacE' prize but, far more im­portant to him, moving a stepcloser to a test ban treaty-atreaty, incidently, to which oherCaltech scientists contributed. Iam myself constantly challengedand e'Xhilerated by the signif­icant social contributions of mycolleagues. It is disturbing to seeall this passed off by one of ourundergraduates as apathy. Canyou say that following the exam­ple of our administration leadsto social apathy when our presi­dent is actively serving as leaderof the Greater Los Angeles Ur­ban Coalition?

May I tell you, Joe, how theproblems you are discussing lookto me? I must put this in a per­sonal, way for that is how theylook to me-as personal, distrub-'ing problems. When I ask myselfhow can I best serve you stu·dents, I find that the deep con­victions concerning the highersocial value'S of my work, andthe actualizing of those convic­tions in my research, are an im­portant indispensible part. If Icould put these convictions andthis research aside to spend moretime with my students and onmy teaching, I would not have,and thus could not project to

that students be given more sayin these matters has certainlybeen sincere on the part of bothfaculty and administration. How"ever, the differences implied bythe great difference in size andthe equally great difference inthe homogeneity of the studentbodies of Caltech and these' otherschools should also not be over­looked. I do not imply that these'differences are all on one side orthe other; differences do not haveto be, indeed seldom are, all forthe good or for the bad. Oursmallness implies far lower dis­ciplinary barriers, much morefluid arrangement of curricula,more visibility of what other stu­dents are doing, etc., than atthese big schools. You may havetalked to other campus leadersand formed the opinion that thebig campus was rife with inter­disciplinary bull sessions. Myown experience was that seriousmath students talked to seriousmath student:::, serious physicsstudents talked to serious physicsstudents, and interdisciplinarybull-se'Ssion students talked tointerdi:3ciplinary bull-se:::sion stu­dents, and campus politico-stu­dents talked to campus politico­students. (You might be interest­ed to know that I've found a fevvinterdisciplinary bull-session stu­dents and a few campus politico­,students at Caltech, though veryfew.) The small size and homo­geneity of our student body hasobvious disadvantages but ad­vantages as well. I have foundthat I can get down to meatymaterial and get a much moreunanimous response here thanIvas my experience at these otherschools. When half of your classIS not seriously interested in thematerial of the course', who areat school for the social life, spec­tator sports and a "degree," theserious students pay a price nomatter how you approach yourteaching. I doubt very much ifPh 1 and 2 are the same at CalDr Standford for this reasonalone.

The point I am trying to makeis not that there is reason tochoose Caltech over Calor Stan­ford, but rather than such a cho­ice is a many faceted thing.rhere are first-rate students thatshould come to Caltech; there arefirst-rate students, probably themajority when you consider thatwe are primarily a scienceschool, who should not. That is\vhy our Admissions Committeegives such serious and respon­sible attention to those' who ap­ply. Nor can we say that eachindividual that comes here, orgoes elsewhere, has made theiright decision. But I think that

The design and color of the uni­form will be different; many of'the players will be challenged byplaying positions that they didnot play last season; the defenseand especially the offense willconsist of different formationswith many exciting plays.

The coaching staff is very opti­mistic about next year. We antic­ipate every football player of lastseason to return to the squad.The loosing of experienced foot­ball players always has a nege­tive eff2ct on building a success­ful football team. We are alsoencouraged by hearing that someCaltech students who did notplay on last seasons squad areintersted in joining the team thisFall. We invite any sincerely in­terested undergraduate to be­come a member of the team.

faults, Evans stayed back, playedsteady, and placed all of his ballsin the court. The strategy work­ed; Duesdieker, vexed at the longrallies which were occuring,played still more forcefully, be­yond his capabilities, and drop­ped the first set, 7-5.

In the second set, Evans con­tinued his consistent mode ofplaying, adding a bit more powerto his game. Duesdieker, who hadtaken it upon himself to playmore defensively also, found thatwas strictly Evans' game. In theend, Evans' patience conqueredDuesdieker's drives.

In addition to helping him cap­ture the Scott Tennis Trophy,Evans' patience and determina­tion have led him to several vic­tories in league play.

the SCIAC All-League SecondTeam as a shortstop. Lonnie ledthe Beavers in RBI's, home runs,batting average, and in total hits.In other aspects of the baseballteam, Frazzinni won three gamesthis year and led the Beaverswith a 3.32 conference ERA.Firestone led the Beavers infielding making only 15 errorsat his first base position. TheBeavers are losing four seniors:Firestone, Frazzini, Fettig, andChapyak. Only one freshman didwell this year, Eisemann, whois considered to be the best de'­fensive second baseman at Cal­tech in ten years. Therefore,Coach Priesler is looking forwardto next year's incoming class.

Dave Schramm, at the OlympicWrestling trials took 7th placein the fre'estyle and 6th place inFreco-Roman. Unfortunately hisplacing will not qualify him torepresent the United States inMexico.

By thisvictory, they guaranteed them­selves a tie for the overall foot­ball title and a clinch of thetrophy as Fleming had to comeout ahead of Page in football inorder to win the trophy. In theFleming game, Brown was out­standing for Page as he threwtouchdown passes to Morgan andAult. The Page defense hassled:B'leming's quarterback Temple­ton and he could only get onetouchdown scored-a pass toBurton.

In overall football standings,Page is leading with a 5-0 record.Fleming is second with a 4-1 rec­ord while Lloyd is in third with2-1, Ricketts is fourth with 2-2while Ruddock is fifth at 2-3.Dabney and Blacker are tied forlast with 0-4 records.
