Tau Betes To Hold Banquet

Billion-Volt Atom Smasher To Be Built at Caltech NOTS to you-that is, the~;;;:::c===:::::========;

U.S. Naval Ordinance Test Sta­tion is bringing a film and col­ored slides concerning rocket work at Inyokern and Tech for this week's Friday Assembly.

C. E. Weiniand, member of the Development Staff Rocket and Explosive Department, will give a running commentary of the work of the U.S. NOTS in conjunction with the film. Also he will describe the" rocket de­velopment during the war at Ca l­tech, headed by Dean Watson and Dr. C. C. Lauritsen in OSRD, with the colored slides.

Question IJel'iod

MI'. vVeinland has done re­search at Caltech under OSRD; and, s ince it is likely that there will be time f6r 'a question pe­riod, those interested may sat­isfy their minds about rocket problems and what has been done at Inyokern.

Stern Awarded French Titles

Dr. Alfred Stern, lecturer in French, German, and Philoso­phy at Caltech, has been award­ed the "Academic Palms" and the title of "Officer of the Acad· emy" by the Government of France. The decoration was of­ficially presented to Dr. Stern on March 24 in the Los Angeles of­fice of the French Consul Gen­eral.

'Summer Jobs' placement Topic

"Summer Jobs," a topic of in­creasing current interest to Techmen, will be the subject of next Tuesday's discussion in the Alumni Placement Series.

At 7:15 p.m. in the Ricketts House lounge Mr. James N. Greg· ory, Superintendent at the Los Angeles Division of the Shell Oil Company, Long Beach, Ca lit, will address a group of Caltech students.

Caltcch Graduate

The s ubject under discussion is one of great importance to all undergraduates and many graduate students who wish to obtain some experience during the summer period.

Mr. Gregory will bring some first-hand information with him, since he has been through the same "academic mill," having re­ceived his B.S. from Tech in 1934.

ApI'opoS Queries

Some of the questions s lated for examination are: "What are the employer's 'problems in hir­ing men for the summer? \Vhat procedure may be followed in sea rching for a s ummer job? What can a man just completing his freshman year look for and expect to find?" and, "When should a man start looking for summer employment?"

Libbey Takes Y Presidency

Dick Libbey edged out Leo Baggerly in the Y elections on March 9th for the presidency of the Caltech Y.M.C.A. Dick has been active in the Y since his freshman year, and during the pas t year he has been vice­president of the Y. He made the following statement to Tech re­porters, " I am looking forward to a year of increasing Y activity both in old and new fields, ac­companied by greater participa­tion."

OthCl' Officel"S

The other officers elected were: John Boppart, vice-president; John Flynn, treasurer; Phil Or­ville, secretary; Mike Bader, national representative; and Tom Stockebrand, publicity manager. The new officers were sworn in immedia tely after their election. Libbey received a .two-foot pen­cil from Burton Housman, last year's Y prexy, on which was inscribed a note to the president wishing him luck in his new office.

Million Dollar Synchroton To Begin Operations in One Year

Dr. L A DuB ridge recently announced plans for a new high­potential atom· smasher of the type known as an "e lec tron synchrot ron" to be built on the Ca l tech campus. The machine wi ll be housed in the present optica l shop, which is now being transformed into a high -energy physics laboratory.

John B. J ohnston Thomas W. Layton James McQuiston John J. W. Rogers Edward Stern George TriIiing William Wright

The machine was developed through a joint survey by the Office of Naval Research and the Atomic Energy Commission,

Drama Club Hits the Road

Fiendish laughter and blood­chilling screams will once more resound when the Ca ltech Dra­ma Club revives the old-fashion­ed melodrama on Friday, April 7, at the McKinley Junior High School. This performance is un­der the auspices of the Caltech Service Leag ue and will be held for the benefit of their many acti vities.

Tickets on Sale As with the previous perform­

ances, the action will be enliven­ed with olio acts by well-known campus celebrit ies. Tickets are now on sa le at the book store at the bargain prices of 75 cents for students and $1.20 for a ll others.

Gay Hilarity If you missed the previous

performance, this will be the last opportunity to observe this stirring melodrama, in which evil is once more crushed by the hero. How the heroic Le­ander thwarts the evil machin­ations of the villainous Morti­mer Frothingham and saves the virtuous working girl will pro­vide an evening of joyous enter­tainment.

Student Houses-­The Philosophy Behind the System

First of a Series Recently there has been much

discussion amongst the men in the student houses over prices of living in the houses, high prices of repair services, etc_

Seeking to find answers to many of the problems and spe­cific gripes of men in the houses, the interhouse committee has held and will hold another con­ference with Mr. George Green, Business Manager of Institute, Mr. Glen Green, Manager of the Athenaeum and Student Houses, and Mr. W. Hertenstein, Super: intendent of Buildings and Grounds.

S. H, Philosophy The first 'meeting was s pent in

a discussion led by Mr. George Green explaining operation of the student houses. I twas brought out that the primary function of Caltech is instruc· tion and research, and the Bookstore, H 0 u se s, Federal Housing Project, Athenaeum, Old Dormitory and Health Cen­ter, are auxiliary enterprises which are intended to be oper­ated on a self-supporting basis. They are operated on a non­profit basis.

The maintenance and opera­tion costs of running the student houses should be paid for by the students who live there. In ad­dition, each year a certain por· tion, about eight percent, of the income of the student houses

Bio Club Visits

Arizona Desert By Bruce Stowe

Ten carloads of biology enthus­iasts braved the desert heat for four days while participating in the Biology Club's annual s pring field t rip.

This year's trip took them to the Kofa Mountains and the Or­gan Pipe Cactus National Monu­ment, both in Arizona, while a hardy few ventured further to the Gulf of California in Sonora, Mexico.

Desel't Al'l'ival Setting ou t early on Saturday

morning after finals, the group trekked across the desert on U.S. 60-70 until they were safely out of California. Then, meeting a long the road fol' lunch, Dr. Went treated the group to an in­troduct ion to the fascinating adaptations of desert flora.

The story of the mistletoe which uses a bird's end to its ends, and of the creosote bush which poisons those of its chil­dren which stay near home, was explained as examples we r e found.

Not content with sticking to flowers , members of the group collected rocks, engaged in geo­logical speculations, s pot ted birds and animals, as well as en­joying and photographing the beautiful unsmogged desert scen-ery.

First Night The firs t night's camp was at

the foot of the Kofa Mountains, where a magnificent view of the zodiacal light was obtained after s unset. The stars were unpar­alleled in brilliancy, and the sleepers amongst the saguaro and ocotillo spent a very peace­fu l night.

The National Monument, lo­cated in the desert just north of the Mexican border, proved to be rich in a ll types of desert vegetation.

In addition, the Rangers gave their full time to guiding the group and comparing informa­tion with the various experts available. The extensive collec­tion of birds, snakes, ground squirrels, and other anima l speci­mens gathered from the r egion by tlie Park Service was also ex· amined and was available for de­tailed study by those interested.

Visit to Ajo The final day of the trip found

the group spli t as individual in· terests were followed . A num­ber viewed the open-pit copper mine and refining plant at Ajo, Ariz., and another group went to Mexico to swim and fis h in

Geology Men See the West

By Dal'e MacKenzie

"See the West with Jahns Scen ic Tours." With each car in the 15-car caravan bearing front and rear bumper banners dis­

playing the · above s logan, the geologists were off on their an-nual "regimented vacation"­the Spring Field Trip.

The caravan left the Saturday afler finals and returned to Pasa­dena one week and 910 miles lat­er. It proceeded north to Owen's Lake, southwest to Trona, then north again through the Pana­mint Valley, east over the Pana­mint Range into Death Valley and then south through Death Valley and home.

Jahns at Head

For the second successi ve year, R. H. Jahns was fortunate enough to have been chosen to lead the 65 rock-hounds on this delightful pal't of the Geo logy Deuartment's curriculum. Trav­eling at the head of the proces­sion and wearing a large orange­and-white guide button on his headgear, Dr. Jahns endeavored to point out in detail, to the in­terested members of the party, the places of geologic interest at short intervals-one mile, say­along the route.

B.O, Plenty

How It Opel"ates The general design of this ma­

chine was sugges ted by Dr. H. R. Crane,- now a visiting profes­sor at Ca ltech. The magnet will have fout' quaclrants wit h stra ig ht sect ions between, with a dia meter of about 36 feet. The electrons will reach nearly the s peed of ligh t in travell ing 90,-000 miles around this " race­track" magnet. A pulse trans­former will feed in the electrons a t the 1 !f2 MEV le vel. The high­s peed electrons will be used for bombardment of atomic nuclei, with such h igh energy that mesons shOll ld be produced. This particle seems to serve as a sort of 'n uclear g lue' a nd it is hoped that, as Dr. Oppenheimer pre­dicted in his lecture series, that more lig h t witl be s hed on this problem.

should be added to a r eserve fund to take care of major repairs and alterations.

In case there is any excess of income from the student houses, the money has always gone m to th is reserve fund and never in to anything else.

\"al' S UI'plus By 1947 there was accumulated

111 the reserve fund about $125,-000. 1 n large part this accumu­lation was due to the m inimum amount of repa ir work which could be done durmg the war years w hen the houses were oc· cu pied by the Navy.

Dunng 1947, 1948, and 1949, the reserve was dipped into for repairs to the tune of $56,000. This year it IS expected that an additi onal $15,300 will he ~ pent.

from the reserve fund , $0,500 of which is for the new game room in the wcst trun k room.

Durmg 1947, 1948, ancl lD'19, the student houses were operated at a loss which amounted to about $26,000. This money did not come out of the rese rve fund, but was prOV ided from genera l I nstitute fund s and not from other auxil iary ente I'P/)ses.
