CagersGotCrunched

by G.J.V. KiddieThe Caltech basketball squad

had a tough week, falling toClaremont-Mudd 116-59 andL.A. Baptist 74-52.

In the first confrontation theTechers came out cold as ice ontheir nome court and quickly fellbehind an aggressiveClaremont-Mudd team. Theinspired play of guards BartCroes and Kevin Miller kept theBeavers close for awhile, but aparoxysm of point~ by the Stagsleft Tech down by 24 at thehalf. An abominable 14% fromthe field wils all the Beaverscould manage in this openingperiod.

The second half proved to beeven more traumatic for thebeleaguered cagers as they weredominated in all aspects of thegame. Their miscreant foescontinued their full-cour! pressand running offensive attack,fmally crushing the Beavers by57 points. A lugubrious BartCroes, when interviewed after thetrouncing, commented that, "weplayed hard but couldn't getanything to fall in the hoop. Ourdefense was particularly poortonight,' too, which enabled themto shoot 64% from the field."

The Techers could not manageto bounce back against L.A.Baptist, a team they nearlydefeated in an earlierconfrontation, but continued at alow ebb. Their shootingpercentage was again dreadfuland they were outmuscled on theboards. Greg Blaisdell and PatMcMurter kept the team withinstriking distance the first halfthrough clutch baskets and soliddefense, but the Beavers wentinto the 10ckElr room 14 pointsdown at its close.

An aggressive Joe Zazadinskiled a Beaver comeback early inthe second half with 10 points,but it was short-lived. In the endthe Techers were soundly beatenby 22 points.

The squad's next game isagainst Pomona-Pitzer at theopponent's gym on Saturday,January 27, at 8:00 pm.

If the turnout at last term'sCareer Counseling Seminars isany indicator, a fairly largenumber of Tech students,especially seniors, are not sureabout their post-graduation plans.Because of the success of theseseminars, the Caltech Y and theGnome Club have decided tosponsor another three-eveningget-togethers this term.

The Gnome Club came upwith the idea of having CareerCounseling Seminars. They havedone an excellent job ofproviding guests that have beenable to relate what. their careersare really like.

HockeyHolding On

The Caltech Hockey Club hashad some trouble gettingun tracked following theChristmas break, skating to twowins and two losses sincereturning. Both defeats came atthe hands of last year'schampions, Pierce College, ateam the club easily defeatedbefore Christmas. The first losscame in a close 3-2 decision athome and the second was a 5-2loss on the road. The road defeatwas a closer game than the scoreindicated with CIT missing manygood opportunities. If excusescan be made several key playerswere absent at the Pierce gamesincluding three defensemen atthe away game. To compoundthe problem Pierce brought theirpom-pom girls to the game, astrategy that successfullydistracted some of the team'syoung, gullible members, as wellas the old, knowledgeable ones.

On the bright side, Tech's twowins were up to standard, an8-1 thrashing of Irvine and anexciting last minute win over avery strong team fromOccidental. The Irvine game waspaced by' John Christianson's hattrick and a strong defensiveeffort by the whole team. TheOccidental game was a tightlycontested effort in which neitherteam could score through twotough periods of play. GeorgeYates came through with thefirst goal on a blistering shot atthe outset of the third period.Oxy came back to tie a fewminutes later and it looked asthough the game might wind upa draw until Norm Bobroffdrilled home the winner withtwo m.inutes left. JohnChristianson added the insurancemarker into an empty net a fewseconds later.

The greatest disappointmentin the victory over Oxy was thelack of Caltech fans, who missedan excellent game. While Oxyhad well over 100 spectators, wehad only a handful. We play Oxyin a rematch this Sunday, Jan.28, at 8:45' at the Pasadena IceCapades Chalet; come out andsee an exciting game.

I went to see Superman withmore than' a little wariness. Afterall, this was the result of the'Hype of the Century', a colossal,stupendous extravaganza that wasattempting to be morespectacular than anything ever.An acting budget that wouldhave paid for D-Day (the' realthing, not the movie) combinedwith special effects designed torot the mind. All this and TheGodfather, 2 (both Mario Puzoand Marlon Brando beinginvolved). I braced myself for theworst.

Actually, with a few minorexceptions, Superman is a verygood movie. It is overlypretentious in spots, mainly intheir attempts to rewrite theplanet Krypton into somethingmore 'cosmic' than all previousversions. The results of this areto completely lose track of thewell-established location ofKrypton in the cosmos, changethe causes of its destruction fromthe merely implausible to thehighly dubious, and completelyruin their scale of time. Krypton(in the Superman comics andstories, a planet circling a largered star, about 30 light-yearsfrom Earth) is mysteriouslyplaced several galaxies away,making little Kal-EI's(Superman's Kryptonian name)journey to Earth very bizarre,and the arrival of Kryptonitevanishingly unlikely.

Tech EdDavid Younge &

John Deane,

Over the course of the pastfew months, many rivalriesbetween the seven houses havebecome heated and destructive.Retaliation groups have onlycompounded the problem, notalleviated it. I have always foundit difficult, if not impossible, tocondone these malicious RFs atany time, by any house. J~dgingfrom the conversations I've hadwith other students, many peoplein each hou,~e feel the same wayI do. If these actions are allowedto continue, the relationshipsbetween the hous~s can only getworse, and this will lead tohaving seven houses that aretotally fraternal in nature. withno interhouse interactions. Idon't consider this a very viablesolution.

The way to do somethingabout this is to start at thetop-the mc. As mc ChairmanI would do my best to get theseven presidents to work togetherconstructively, and to try toprevent the occurrence ofmeetings which are nothing morethan forums for levying fines,

Also, as ASCII Secretary forthe past year, I have an intimateknowledge of the workings ofthe BOD, and I would be aproductive member there as well.

I don't pretend to be amiracle worker, and I don't haveall the answers. However, ifsomeone is willing to stand upand speak his mind, he soonfinds that a lot of people agreewith what he has to say. I amvery interested in seeing whatsort of improvements we canmake in the coming year.

At present, the undergraduateacademic program at Caltech isin a critical phase. Studentperception of teaching quality isextremely low, and thecurriculum has remainedinflexible and unresponsive tothe new needs of a changingstudent body. The Director forAcademic Affairs shoudl play aparticularly signif"LCant role inshaping educational policy forthe undergraduates.' He mustaccurately represent studentopinion on academic matterswhen action is being considered(or not considered) by theadministration, faculty andtrustees. Additionally, as TQFR

'editor, he is responsible for apublication that continues to bethe most important mechanismfor teaching quality feedback.

I feel that I am qualified forthis position for several reasons. Iwas a member of the 1976-1977TQFR staff, and I was theassociate editor of last year'sreport. In addition, I have servedon the Educational PoliciesCommittee this past year, andwith your support, I hope tocontinue.

I would like to use thisopportunity to tell you why Idecided to run for the office ofthe Director-at-Large.

Before I made this decision Italked with different people,including one of the currentDirectors-at-Large, because Iwanted to make· sure that I knewwhat kind of duties theDirector-at-Large has; and I cansay that if you give me your voteof confidence I will attempt tohandle these responsibilities well.I have the enthusiasm which isneeded in order. to do this jobproperly

During the time that I havespent at Caltech I tried to meetas many undergraduates aspossible, and therefore I thinkthat I will be able to fairlyrepresent all of you on the BOD.I will be eager to listen '0 yourideas and suggestions and try tobring them to the attention of-the BOD.

Mark FischerThe ASCIT Treasurer has a lot

of important responsibilities. He­must accurately and efficientlykeep track of where ASCIT'sfunds are coming from and goingto. This year the ASCIT budgetwill be some $20,000. That's$20,000 of your money. StudentBody dues amount to $24 peryear for each member. This is alot of money, and it can be usedto .provide many good services tothe students; the ASCIT movie,sponsorship of parties, clubs,etc., that is if it is managedproperly.

The school needs a qualifiedperson to handle its finances. Ifeel that I have the experienceand qualifications to do the jobwell. I run a small business ofmy own, and I also do the booksfor my family's business. I havetaken courses which includedaccounting and bookkeeping, andlast year I was acting treasurerfor the Ski Club. I am alsoJewish and I love money, whichgives me a natural advantage inthe first place.

Seriously, though, I wouldlike to see ASCIT's moneyhandled properly this comingyear. If you would too, thenplease vote for me, Mark Fischer,for ASCIT Treasurer. Thank you.

"A Director-at-Large is aglorified errand boy who tendsto get stuck with the jobs no oneelse wants to do," or so has saida famous Caltech politician withtwo years experience on theBOD. But why hold an office ifit has no purpose? It wouldn't beworth the time anyone wouldput into it. Therefore, if youelect me as Director-at-Large, Iwill make something of the job.There are lots of things to doand to improve around here thatI'm sure I could deal withcompetently. I'm particularlyinterested in trying to changesome of the attitudes about Techthat almost every undergrad has.

I would do my best to fulfillthe office of Director-at-Largeand try to represent peoplefairly.

If you vote· for me, I'll try toprove that even wise old Caltechpoliticians can be wrong.

SecretaryKaren Hellgren

I'm Karen Hellgren and I'mrunning fOf> ASCIT Secretary. Ihave been IHC Secretary for thelast year, so I feel I am qualifiedfor the office. IHC secretary isan appointive position, and Ihad no vote. Although I enjoyedmy year with the Committee, Iwould like to have a voice in thethings I'm recording. As a BODmember, I will have a voice inASCIT policy, and since myqualifications run to takingminutes, I'm asking you to votefor me for ASCIT Secretary onMonday.

-Karen Hellgren

In my alter ego (David Kudev)I was recently elected sophomoredass treasurer, and since Iwanted to see my name spelledcorrectly on a ballot, I decidedto run for ASCIT Treasurer. I amqualified since I can balancebooks and I am frugal (but notstingy). Seriously, I am interestedin the office and I think I wouldbe the best choice (just ask mymother).

Marlon Brando is very good asJor-EI, although a bit pompous,due to the way Puzo and a castof thousands ended up writingthe role. Margot Kidder is a greatLois Lane. Jackie Cooper doesn'tlook like Perry White, but he hasthe feel of the role. ValeriePerrine is nice decoration in abadly-written role.

Gene Hackman' was a veryfavorable surprise. I had a, greatdeal of trouble picturingHackman in the role of agenuinely evil man. In fact, hisbyplay with his assistant Otis(Ned Beatty) was a little bit toomuch broad comedy for mytaste, but otherwise Hackman dida very fine job. You couldbelieve that he would causethousands, perhaps millions ofdeaths just· to . gain his ownpersonal objectives. His finalscene, except for the presence ofBeatty, gave him a few briefseconds of pure malice as LexLuthor. 8eatty was a nuisance.

Since John Williams writes themusic for. everything ofsignificance these days, he wrotethe score for this one, too. Themusic was very good, but notquite as original as it sdundedwhen he did the score for StarWars. His semi-classicalbombarding of the mind is good,but somehow not as impressiveas some of his earlier work. Themain theme is very good,however, almost up to hisprevious works, apd would
