The order for this act of ritual surgery came from a person at the very top, who, according to rumor, didn't wish to shock any of the more sensitive trustees who were to meet the following Monday. The shaft had been standing on top of Throop since mid-December when it was raised as part of the unfortunate Christmas caper that cost several members of the erection committee their GPA's. By last Sunday the shaft had weathered to a pleasing reddish- brown, but it still retained its original rigidity. This aided in removing the shaft which was lowered vertically to the main dome. Then, the shaft was tipped so as to place it horizontally. As this was being done the shaft ejaculated a small amount of water that had collected in the uppermost section of cane. The shaft was lowered to the roof and then down the west side of Thtoop. It was followed by a B&G ladder and the plywood sheet on which the tree was originally attached. The other miscellaneous refuse was either thrown off the side of the building or placed in storage. As the shaft was being carried away one tree troll was heard to remark, "Well, if worse comes to worse, and we don't use the shaft next year, we can always transplant it onto the statue of Apollo."

And this clarity ofneed is not presented in thememorandum that accompanied theproposed change. Instead a series ofvague and contradictory statementsare put forth, thus demonstratingnot only the inadequacy of thememorandum, but also the complexnature of the questions involved andthe need for deliberating action. Weare gratified that the BOC spenttwo terms considering these ques­tions; however, we are upset at theshort time afforded the studentbody as a whole to decide on thematter; we feel that more time isessential. We think that the BOCitself, interspersed amongst the restof the memo, stated the case bestfor the defeat of these proposedBy-law changes.

"We do not feel that ourcommunity of scholars requires adetailed statement of what consti­tutes acceptable or unacceptablebehavior. It recognizes that preciseboundaries between these categoriesdepend heavily upon the circum­stances of the behavior."

"For the Board of Control, orfor any other body, to proclaim byfiat what is right or wrong in such acase is unwarranted, and can greatlyweaken the personal appeal of theHonor System as a whole."

POSTERS

Sirs:In that the present Honor

System has served us admirablysince its inception, any modifi­cations must be subject to theclosest scrutiny before allowingtheir inclusion. So as not to vitiatethe effectiveness nor impugn theintegrity of its governing body,great care must be taken to excludesuperfluous or extraneous regulatoryactivity from the BOC's auspices.The bedrock of the Honor Systemis the credibility of the BOC whichis inextricably linked to its single­minded devotion to the principlesset forth in the Honor Code.

If the Honor Code is indeed thegreat institution that we proclaim itto be, we should be vitallyconcerned with any action whichmight decrease its credibility orviability, for indeed the HonorSystem embodies within it thoseprinciples essential to any greatinstitution of learning.

Concerning ourselves now withthe proposal at hand (Le. theproposed By-laws change), ourattention should be directed first tothe justification for this or anysimilar change. The important ques­tion that needs to be answere"d iswhether the present system andprocedures with their correspondingguidelines are inadequate to dealwith prospective situations. This

mining of the Honor System canbegin with the implementation ofrestrictive policies which foreverafter establish what is ethicalconduct.

Finally, I wish to raise thequestion of the propriety of secretballoting on BOC issues. The valueof secret ballots on judicial decis­ions is not questioned; on policydecisions, however, it is certainlynot in the best interests of thestudents to be ignorant of thepositions of their representatives.

Sirs:All of us were, I believe, at least

concerned by the recent proposal ofthe BOC. However, the true scope ismuch greater than one might thinkat a first glance.

The motivation for such aresolution is fairly clear: Whetherconsciously or not, the move waslargely political. A paranoia aboutcampus disorders possesses mostAmericans today, particularly thoseconnected with higher education. Asecondary effect of this is themisinterpretation of the numbersinvolved in these disturbances. Onlya very few incidents have involved amajority of the student body, andnever has a student majoritycondoned destructive or harmfulbehavior. Nonetheless, it is advan­tageous to have a firm policyconcerning campus disorders toshow to alumni, trustees, andbenefactors.

The discrepancy in the HonorSystem, the proposal cites, is that itis dependent upon the moral codesof the majority for its successfulimplementation. In the area ofcampus disorders, it continues,moral values are more flexible, andhence the efficacy of the HonorSystem is lost or weakened. How­ever, considering the definition of"disruptive behavior" found in theFinal Report, it should be clear thatthe Honor System should more thansuffice to regulate it, so long as theacademic goals of the students andfaculty remain unchanged. Thischange is apparently what theproposed amendment anticipates.Still, these goals are fundamental tothe purpose of Caltech, and theabandon of them would be accom­panied by re-evaluation on a muchhigher level than campus disorders.

The BOC proposal also carriesimplications of far greater signifi­cance. A fundamental precept ofthe Honor System is that there isno book of rules to be followed tothe letter. This encourages membersof the Caltech community tobehave responsibly, based on ethicalvalues rather than a set of fixedrules. Tllu.§ the dangerous under-

described "the manner in whichAnglo American land laws and landusage were utilized by whitemajorities to despoil resident aliensof their property and livelihood."

At great danger to life and limb(can you call a blade of bamboo a"limb?"), the infinite shaft has beenremoved from the upmost dome ofthe building usually covered by thiscolumn...The general opinion ofthe mental capacity of B&G hasbeen reaffirmed: The Physical PlantPersonality of the Year is FredKrog, despite the obviously betterqualifications of Mary Jo Benedettiand the notable Linda Wilson.

We are told that a quantity offiring pin mechanisms from handgrenades were found in Firestonelaboratories some time before theChristmas break. The pins, with thetrigger pins attached, are highlyexplosive even without the explosivecontained in the grenade. The pinsapparently had been stored orhidden for several months.

Sounds simple, doesn't it? Lookvery closely at the wording. Nomention is made of legalityor destructiveness or violence. Asstated, the clause covers anythingfrom a peaceful picket line to abombing with equal facility. Such acatch-all, sort of a collegiate MannAct, is all well and good if one hastremendous faith in the infallibilityof the BOC. I do not, for I feel thatno one in a position of powershould be trusted with the power tomake his own opinions legallybinding without process of law. Oneformer BOC member said that thereis nothing wrong with the amend­ment as long as one assumes thateveryone is being reasonable. Thismay very well be true, but in thecase of a student disturbance (orriot, to be" somewhat more blunt)someone definitely was not reason­able.

You Don't SucceedIn the case of an honor system

violation under the amendment, theBOC would have the authority totry the honor system case AND torecommend considering cases dis­tinct from the honor system. Inother words, if the BOC decidesyou may have committed an honorsystem violation, they try you onthat. If you are found innocent ofhonor system violations, they canstill try you on other charges.

Under most circumstances, theamendment is a perfectly reasonable

Nick SmithMy column this week was to be

on trials, and in a way it still is. OnMonday of this week, the Chairmanof the Board of Control sent out afive-page letter to the student body.In this letter he very carefullyexplained the feelings of the BOCconcerning student disturbances.With this I have no quarrel. Hiddenon page 2 of this document,however, is notice of an impendingASCIT By-laws election, one thatthe ASCIT board itself did not fullyknow about, scheduled for Friday,January 22. It is with this revision,and the interpretation given it byMr. Guibas, that I must disagree.

The By-laws amendment, asworded, seems innocent enough,deleting the meaningless and harm­ful clause which states that the BOChas jurisdiction over common decen­cy, replacing it with a statementthat unacceptable behavior during acampus disruption is a BOC matter.The rules of the Inquisition itselfcouldn't have been more innocentlyworded.

If A FirstDisruptive behavior is defined as:"Any purposeful activity or

incident which infringes upon astudent's right to learn, upon thefreedom of 'the faculty to learn andto teach or the freedom of thecommunity to seek ideas andknowledge, or inhibits operation ofthe Institute in support of theseendeavors..."

Would You Believe?

The greatest question aboutfuture draft calls arises from theapparent decision of the Nixonadministration to escalate the warby renewing the bombing of NorthViet Nam. The administration hasbeen more frequently discussingbombing of the North in whatappears to be an attempt to preparethe country for such bombing. The"protective reaction" bombing ofthe North on November 21 seemsto have been a test of studentreactions to such a policy. The lackof student reaction probably con­vinced the administration that re­newed bombing will not result instudent reactions like that followingthe Cambodia invasion. On January4th Nixon said he would resumebombing if the North Viet Nameseprevented the success of his "Viet­namization." Thus, such bombingappears to be part of the strategyaccompanying Vietnamization.

Uncertain ImpactThe impact of such escalation on

draftees is uncertain. Nixon mayhope to use bombing and Vietnamtroops rather than American combattroops to avoid the need for largedraft calls. Nevertheless, thesemethods will probably not achievean American political victory inViet Nam to which Nixon isbecoming increasingly committed.With such a committment to victoryit seems likely that draft calls willgo up rather than down.

calls will be lower this year, theJanuary draft call was 17,000, thehighest since April, 1970 and almosttwice as many men as were called inOctober, November and Decembertogether. Because of the high draftcalls, California draft boards havecalled everyone available in theextended priority selection pool andare already drafting men born in1951.

Other FactorsAlthough the January draft calls

may only be high to make up forthe low preelection draft calls, otherfactors indicate that draft calls maycontinue to be high throughout1971. The armed forces are havingdifficulty keeping enough men dueto much lower enlistment andreenlistment rates and the high rateof desertions. Over 81,000 mendeserted from the Army and MarineCorps during 1970. Thus, thegovernment must draft more men tomaintain present forces. The armedforces' difficulty in keeping men isa reflection of the low G.I. morale,a problem which appears to begrowing worse for the armed forces.Thirty thousand G.I.s booed andshouted "Peace Now" at the highestarmy brass during the Bob HopeChristmas tours, and one fourth of

by Mark PetersonYour position with the draft may

have been markedly changed by theend of the first year's lottery oryour entry into the 1971 lotterypool. Earlier articles in this seriesexplained the importance of the1971 lottery to men born before1951. Those men who had lotterynumbers of 196 or higher and whogave up their deferments or wereotherwise classified 1A on January1, 1971 have been placed in thesecondary priority induction pooland are virtually free of the draft.Those men with lottery numbers of195 or less and who were 1A onJanuary 1, 1971 have been placedin the extended priority selectionpool. Those men can never be savedfrom the draft by their lotterynumbers, even if their numbers arenot reached in future years. Men inthe extended priority selection poolmust reach 26 years of age or get apermanent deferment to be safe.

Men born in 1951 or men whowill lose their 2S or other defer­ments wi!l be placed in the 1971lottery pool. If you will be in the1971 pool you may be drafted ifyou are 1A and your lotterynumber is reached. Although selec­tive service has implied that draft

At the same time, the Indians arenot perfect, being very quick to goto war themselves.

Little Big Man is one of thosemovies that everyone shOUld see,but probably won't. Arthur Pennhas worked to create a true epicfilm, and this reviewer thinks he hassucceeded. The plot, filming, andacting are all excellent, and thesethree things should be enough toguarantee success. However, in thewords of Chief Dan George, "Some­times the magic works, and some·times it doesn't." I hope it worksthis time, and makes Little Big Mana hit.

the only white survivor of Custer'sLast Stand, not necessarily in thatorder.

In addition to Dustin Hoffman,the outstanding performances aregiven by Amy Eccles (as his Indianwife), Faye Dunaway (as his moralupbringing), Martin Balsam (as hispractical educator), and Chief DanGeorge (as his adopted grandfatherand spiritual guidance).

Little Big Man tries to show theIndians as people, nothing more,nothing less. The film is both veryfunny and very moving, with bellylaughter and tears. The film some­what exaggerates the psychosis ofCuster, but does show him up forthe glory-seeking murderer he was.

The film, Little Big Man, is thenewest Dustin Hoffman effort, andwas produced by Arthur Penn, thesame man who produced Alice'sRestaurant and Bonnie and Qyde.This combination of talent is onethat has produced one of the bestcinematic efforts of the year.

This epic film is told in the wayof all epics, as one massiveflashback. In this case, it is therememberances of a 121 -year oldman, as told to a historian. Thestory is that of one Jack Crabb,born of settlers and raised byIndians. In later life, he was agunslinger, a con man, an Indianscout, a drunk, a polygamist, anIndian warrior, a muleskinner, and

Tara! Tara! Tara! is the firstgreat historical war movie to comeout since The Longest Day. Pro­duced by a combine of Americanand Japanese film makers, this filmpresents the chain of events thatculminated in the attack on PearlHarbor.

The first part of the film is givenover to actions that preceded theattack. It was a period when menseemed to take second plilce to theinevitable force of events and theactors seem to know it. The' actingis passable, but no charactersemerge, only stereotypes. There isthe fanatic Japanese pilot whodeliberately crashes his plane intoan American aircraft hangar, andthe American officer who fails toreport the sinking of a Japanese subjust outside Pearl Harbor because heis sure it must be some mistake.

The Japanese portions are par­ticularly marred by some of thepoorest use of subtitles that I haveever seen. It is difficult to avoideyestrain when trying to pick outwhite subtitles against a whitebackground, and the lines thatappear are so inane and stilted thatthe viewer is left wondering what isreally being said.

But all is saved by the magni­ficent battle scenes. The entireattack on Pearl Harbor is repeatedin such unbelievable detail that theviewer momentarily wonders if thisis the real thing. Ships sink, planesexplode, and men are shot in anincredible panorama that leavesmany memorable vignettes. Theyrange from the poor HawaiianAirschool biplane that is suddenlysurrounded· by a Japanese torpedobomber squadron to a propellerskipping across a runway by itself.

Anyone who has even thesmallest interest in the events thatled up to our greatest militarydisaster should see Tora! Tora!Tora! It is not simply entertain­ment; it is living history.

Husbands Care LessMany motion pictures being

produced today are about lost souls.Husbands is. a movie about threelost souls, which somehow or otherlost itself. John Cassavetes' bi­syllabic sequel to Faces takes twoand one half hours to say somethingwe already have been told andmight already believe - you justcan't run away from yourself.

Starring Cassavetes and con­summate thespians Ben Gazzara andPeter Falk, this one-eyed matrimon­ial mistake centers around theactivities of three grown up butfairly young men who have justexperienced the death of the fourthin a strangely defined four memberclub. At the beginning of the filmthe three are proposed to be theclosest of friends helping oneanother in time of need. They leavethe funeral and vow not to gohome. The movie is the story oftheir seventy-two hour sleeplessspree.

Critics have chosen to set asidethe ten minute scene of Peter Falkdry-wretching after a wake asoffensive; it really wasn't-it waspointless-and you never actuallysaw him vomiting so you laugh,involuntarily. What is offensive isthe 25 minute scene in the bar atthe wake with all the characterstrying to destroy each other whilesupposedly mourning the departureof their beloved, if uncharacterizedfriend.

The trio finally takes off forLondon (we kind of figured by nowthey were wealthy enough to do so)where they try to pick up women,and succeed. The triumvirate, as allin history, splits into two parts andone stays (Gazzara) and the twoothers go home.

Husbands isn't about spouses. Itwas, ostensibly, supposedly to beabout people. At the end of thefilm, Peter Falk says to JohnCassavetes, "What is he going to dowithout us?"

Who cares.

development of the third movementand the final variations, all provethe quintet a brilliant work.

To be done well, these worksneed top artists, and the MarlboroFestival can supply them. RudolfSerkin, Jaime Laredo and MadelineFoley do the honors for the trio,and they do indeed honor it.Serkin's brisk, clear style gives thepiece Mozartian life, which isfurther enhanced by Laredo's violin,Foley handles the cello backgroundand counterpoint excellently, es­pecially in the larghetto. Actually, itis not right to single them out forindividual praise as they united toplayas one instrument.

An equally talented group did anequally good job on the quintet;notably, Harold Wright, clarinet,Alexander Schneider, violin andLeslie Parnas, cello. Although theyare not as integrated as possible, thefinal product was excellent. Theintense rhythmic patterns, thelarghetto and the variations wouldhave to be chosen as their strongestareas of performance.

This record is definitely worthhaving, either for an introduction toMozart or for a Mozart freak. And,if this record is any indication ofthe others from Marlboro, the setwould be definitely worth theinvestment.

K.502 and Oarinet Quintet, K.581,performed by members of theMarlboro Music Festival - ColumbiaMS7447

The Marlboro Music Festival,formed under Pablo Casals and nowdirected by Rudolf Serkin, has woninternational acclaim from bothaudience and artist for its presen­tation of chamber music and therelaxed environment it offers theperformer. This record is one ofseveral recorded at the 1970Marlboro Festival, and, as could beexpected, it is an excellend pro­duction. Even the cover is welldone.

The trio and the quintet are bothexcellent works by Mozart. Both arefrom Mozart's maturity, as easilyseen in their sheer brilliance andartistry. In the trio, Mozart hasmoved away from the Haydnesqueuse of the violin and cello asharmonic aides for the pianotowards the more concerto-like triowith the strings playing against thepiano.

Mozart's sophistication is equallyas evident in the quintet throughoutall four movements. The allegrowith its thematic interplays, thelarghetto, probably the best musicever written for clarinet, the unique

In fact, he asked that we acceptthe same non-sequiturs that makeup the Auto Club catechism. Mr.Smith would have received a similarresponse from any of the Auto ClubDirectors he might have indicted. Itwas the whole Board, not just Mr.Beckman, whose decision helped killProposition 18.

And who are these Directors?Like Mr. Beckman, they are themen with multiple directorships thatcontrol American business. How arethey elected?

His position, therefore,is comparable to favoring inte­gration while seeking to preserve thepurity of his own neighborhood.Perhaps Mr. Beckman never learnedthat economics concerns the allo­cation of scarce resources, for whichalternative commodities must com­pete.

Mr. Beckman called Proposition18 "a dangerous and inequitable taxbill." Unfortunately, he failed tosupport this indictment with anyevidence about the bill itself. Wouldhe classify this oversight as evidence"omitted intentionally," or was it"deliberately withheld?"

Mr. Beckman righteously assuredus that he is "in favor of a sound
