A REPORT TO THE STUDENTSSchool year 1975-76 has

progressed quickly, yet rathersmoothly to this midpoint in theyear. We received another ex-cellent freshman class in the falland, having survived Homecom-ing and bonfire activities as wellas the fall quarter, they are doingtheir utmost to surpass theacademic accomplishments oflast year's freshman class whichwas one of the strongest in therich history of the Institute.Seniors are again wrapped up ininterviews and plant trips at thistime and there is every indica-tion that engineering and sciencegraduates are the most soughtafter (and best paid) graduatesof any in the country this year.There are more and a greater

variety of social events on thecampus this year and morestudents are participating inthese activities than ever before.Students in the dorms eitheralready have or are in theprocess of establishing their ownrespective governmental unitswith funding by the "Inter-Dormitory Council. This willenable each dorm to plan moreactivities within their own hallswith the participation of agreater number of residentstudents. .The intramural program in

basketball and volleyball have arecord number of participantsthis winter and the welcome ad-dition to the fieldhouse complexwill be ready for use very soon.The opportunity for more indoorindividual and group activitieswill be realized with completionof the much awaited newfacilities. The major part of thefraternity rushing season is overwith Greeks reporting another"successful" rush and eachchapter is presently busy infor-ming their respective pledges ofwhat Greek life is allabout. Rose-Huhnan studentswere awarded a record totalfrom all sources of $1,842,000 infinancial aid (up 12% from lastyear) for this school year. Thisfigure represents approximately43% of the total yearly budget formost students of the Institute.We are extremely pleased with

the additions to our staff of Mikeand Lucy Samara as Co-Directors of Residence Life,Mrs. Eileen Stauber, R.N., asDirector of Health Services andSchool nurse, and James Randelas Intra-mural Director andCoach of Cross Country and Golf.Each of these people has workedvery hard in his/her new area ofresponsibility and each has prov-ed already to be a valuable assetto our campus.Rene Hebert and his Saga staff

have made some major changesin the food service program atRose-Hulman which haveresulted in an extremely attrac-tive and tasty selection in the din-ing halls.All things considered, I feel we

are having a good year at Rose-Hulman. This does not mean,however, that there are not stillsome "rough edges" which weare going to have to work on if weare to continue to truly progress.I am very much concerned, and

I think each student should alsobe concerned, with naggingproblems of theft and needlessdestruction of Institute and per-sonal property. Replacing stolenequipment and repairingdamages on the campus eachyear takes a lot of money whichcould be better spent in makingimprovements that would benefit

all students as well as just to keepthe overall cost of educationdown. Theft and propertydestruction are very expensiveforms of behavior and it is you,the student, who is worse off ifyou permit such acts to continue.In order to protect your interestsand ours, we are taking a muchmore active and punitive rolewhen we discover such activitytaking place on the campus,regardless of how "minor" theoffense might appear. Twostudents were recently suspend-ed from school for taking part ina series of thefts of equipmentand numerous other items fromsome of your laboratory areas.The cost of the items taken dur-ing that series of incidents ex-ceeded $1500 and we were for-tunate in this case to haverecovered many of the stolen ar-ticles. Their permanent recordsnow carry a statement of the dis-ciplinary action taken whichmakes it all but impossible forthem to re-enter schoolanywhere until the suspensionperiod has elapsed. There areother cases of theft and destruc-tion which point to the need formore self-discipline and moreawareness and action on the partof those of you who witness suchactivity. Let me give you someidea of just how some of these"minor" thefts, etc. can cost youa lot of money. Since June of lastsummer, the main dining hall has"lost" over 450 forks, and aboutthe same number of knives andspoons. We now must buyreplacement sets at a significantcost, and this cost, in turn, willbe reflected in the board ratesstudents will pay who reside inour dormitories. For other ex-amples, despite the fact that wetry to keep the dormitories ingood condition and safe for theiroccupants, each quarter we mustrepair or replace damaged doorsto many of the rooms, replacestolen fire extinguishers or havea number of them refilled,replace stolen "exit" lightcovers and broken light globes inthe hallways, and repair brokenfurniture and other equpiment inthe dorms and in the mainbuilding.I am sure that most Rose-

Hulman students are not respon-sible for these acts and othercostly ones I have not mentioned.At the same time„ however, I amalso sure that many students areaware of those who are guilty ofsuch behavior. It would seem tome that each student of theInstitute has as much respQn-sibility to try to stop these dis-graces as I or anyone elseassociated with the school. Ofthis I can be sure; anyone who iscaught deliberately destroying,damaging, or otherwise van-dalizing Institute or personalproperty will be dealt withpromptly and strictly.

It is my personal belief thatwhen we grant a diploma fromRose-Hulman to a student inengineering or science, we arenot only attesting to the fact thatthe student has mastered thenecessary technical skills to besuccessful in his field, but also,and just as importantly, we areattesting to a high degree ofprofessional character andmaturity in that person. We are,in short, saying that this studenthas those much needed traits ofcharacter so important in allprofessions — honesty and in-tegrity. Jess R. Lucas,

Rose ExpeditionProbes Hole In Ground

What better way to get awayfrom Rose on a cold, drearySaturday than to literally vanishfrom the face of the earth (tem-porarily anyway)? So thoughttwenty Rose students and guestson a Saturday spent exploringBuckner's Cave (year roundtemperature approximately 54)near Stanford, Indiana.The cave was entered through

a rather large entrance (as far as

caves go) but quickly developedinto a 450' crawl-way. Commentsheard at various times during thecrawl were many and rangedfrom, "I feel like a stinkinggopher," and, "Oh my achingknees. You mean to tell me we'veonly gone 1 50 feet?" to,"Anybody want a drink ofMuscatel?"Basically the cave makes a big

circle and after the group left the

passage In

crawl-way they split into twosmaller groups for easier ex-ploration of the cave. Bothgroups saw such features as theAir Force Room, MonumentRoom, Volcano Room, ThresherSub formation and the T Roombut were unable to make a detail-ed exploration due to lack offtime. The cave has about threemiles of surveyed passages andmany more in unsurveyed areas.

Members of the expedition pause for a group photo "where no man has gone before." -Photo by D. Cotner.

One group led by Bob and DonCopus had a humorous run-in(ambush?) with a very largegroup of Boy Scouts whilepreparing to leave the cave.

Another memorable place inthe cave was the "Corkscrew"which was exactly what thename implies. This crevice was areal bear for all concerned.

SFG Commander Gus Taylorstated, "Caving used to really bepopular at Rose. Wayne's Cave,.'just over the hill' as the sayinggoes from Buckner's, when dis-covered in 1960-61, was initiallyexplored and surveyed in part bya group from the then RosePolytechnical Institute. As aresult, part of this cave is calledthe RPI Discovery. It's great tosee guys at Rose get interestedand active in doing soemthinglike this again."

The FreshmanClass and

Common SenseYou may be one of the freshmen who just last month elected your

class officers. And now you ask what are your class officers going todo? In reply to the question we'll look at what the offices are design-ed for and what past class officers have done.

First, what function was the office created for? To answer thatit's necessary to refer to the Student Government Constitution. Butthe constitution does not establish any function, purpose, or respon-sibility of the class officers ( freshman or upperclassmen). In fact, itdoesn't even state any restrictions on who can and can not run for aclass office. It states each class "shall elect a President, Vice-President, and Secretary-Treasurer." If Tony Hulman wanted torun for President of the freshman class and he submitted a petition,complete with five percent of the freshman (16) endorsing it, hewould be a candidate. And if the freshman wanted Tony to be theirPresident, he could be elected.

But back to the question, you have your class officers and nowwant to know what these officers are supposed to do. The second ef-fort to answer you is to tell you what your predecessors have done.In most cases, nothing. Usually, once the bonfire has burned, thetraditional responsibility of your class is over (other than to keep thesophomores away from Rosie). Your predecessors usually have thensat back and waited until they became juniors and then have theclass dance, which is open to the student body. But after that, thereis no unified effort by the classes.

So where does this leave the freshman class? In a position to do asothers have done. or to change the trend and make a unified effort toaccomplish something that may serve the institute through recrea-tion or general activity. Frankly, the officers can do as they wish,but there's no limit to what a little creativity and planning couldresult in. No one will tell you that it's their responsibility as officers,or that there is a precedent requiring it. Only common sense dic-tates that changes need to be made, and only common sense dictatesthat your officers are in the best position to make these changes.

SGA NewsFaculty Lounge

By Jeff ShanksSome students evidently don't care for the faculty lounge that

suddenly appeared over break. Although I can sympathize with yourview, I certainly hope that the person who ripped the sign off thedoor doesn't brag too loud. That stunt was very childish, and itdoesn't settle a thing.

It turns out that some faculty members have been trying forseveral years to procure a lounge. Their logic is to have a place, cen-trally located, where the faculty can get together to discuss schoolmatters, socialize, or have a cup of coffee and just relax. Some bringtheir lunch and would like to use it as their lunchroom.

It would also give the professors, from the different departments,an opportunity to get together and find out what the other professorsare teaching. A case in point would be when your professor is lec-turing on a topic that he assumes you have already been taught andyou sit there not having the slightest idea what he is talking about.With the lounge, he might meet the professor who he thought taughtthe course and find out what was actually covered. Granted, thesame results could be obtained by going to the other professor's of-fice, but if that is so easy, then why hasn't it been done more often?The lounge could be used by recruiters when they have a few

minutes between interviews. They could get a cup of coffee andrelax away from any students instead of walking up and down thehall.Finally, the lounge would give the faculty a chance to get to know

each other a little better.Moving to the students' side of the spectrum, they lose their sleep-

ing room and lounge, or so it seems on the surface. But, that may notbe so in actuality. I've heard many suggestions regarding what couldbe done utilizing the old library, but I haven't heard what the realproblem is from the students.Some feel that the lounge will make the professors even more dif-

ficult to find between classes. This is a very difficult argument torefute, although I find it just as difficult to prove without a trialperiod.There will be a meeting on Wednesday, January 28 at 12:00 noon to

discuss the issue, and I believe there are many possible solutionsavailable, depending on what your complaints really are. If you, asstudents, have anything to say, then I suggest you attend. If youcan't, feel free to contact me ahead of time.

TECHNOLOGY MAPSTHE MOONBy Jeff Cox, Thom News Editor

Before the 1960's earth men had been drawing and photographingthe moon from 248,000 miles away. Needless to say, there was someerror in their maps and drawings. Then as our aerospace technologyincreased we sent unmanned probes to find landing sites for futuremanned missions. These probes, as they orbited or crash-landed onthe lunar surface, were able to photograph the moon with greatclarity. Lunar maps and charts became more detailed and beganshowing a better representation of the lunar surface, but they werestill lacing in small detail. The immediate problem with lunar ex-ploration was the lack of high-resolution photographs of areas ofhigh scientific interest.Then came Apollo, and with Apollo came a new type of space

camera system—the panoramic camera. With this new camerasystem, the Apollo astronauts could take extremely high resolutionphotographs that covered a strip 13.5 miles wide and 211 miles long,or about the same as a 13.5 mile wide strip from Washington, D.C. toNew York City.I know what you're thinking, and you're right. This isn't the or-

dinary, everyday Polaroid Squareshooter II. This camera, when ful-ly loaded with 1.25 miles or about 6500 feet of 5 inch wide black andwhite film, weighs approximately 336 pounds. How would you like toshoot family portraits with that?The great, great grandson of camera systems is built well, too. It

was built to withstand the tremendous stress and strain of launchand the -270 degrees to +260 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures en-countered in lunar orbit.Unlike many panoramic cameras where just a prism rotates to

scan the picture, the Apollo camera rotates its entire lens systemfully 360 degrees, synchronized with the ground speed of thespacecraft. As the lens turns 54 degrees on either side of vertical, itpaints a 45.25 inch by 4.5 inch mural of the lunar surface on film.These pictures have such high resolution that an object as small as

six feet across can be identified. The pictures are so clear that thelunar rover and the tracks it made on the surface were identified.

All of the lens settings, the speed of lens rotation, and even anemergency shutoff switch if the camera gets too hot areautomatically computer controlled. Take heed, photographers, theautomatic camera cometh.*

Why do we go to all the expense to map, photograph and in-vestigate the lunar surface? It's all part of man's unending hob-

by—to expand our knowledge of the origin and development of our

planet and solar system.

*Many things in our everyday life are direct or indirect spinoffs (by-

products) of our aerospace technology. It could be that completely

automatic camera do not lie too far off in the future.

Rose-Hulman's Engineersdropped their second consecutiveCollege Athletic Conferencebasketball game to Centre in lessthan a week yesterday afternoon,76-65.The home team jumped out to

an early 14-point lead then work-ed its advantage patiently to 18before going into the lockerroomat halftime with a 45-29 bulge.Rose-HuIrnan changed its

defense somewhat for the final 20minutes of firing and the strategyseemed to pay off as theEngineers gradually chippedaway at Centre's margin.

Coach John Mutchner's menpulled to within 12, 10 and thennine with only 3:50 showing onthe clock at 67-58, but could notdraw any closer than that.Rose-Hulman was forced to

foul in the waning minutes inhopes of regaining possession ofthe ball, but unfortunately for thevisiting Engineers, Centre con-sistently converted its free-throwopportunities.Mutchners group was more ac-

curate from the field that itshosts, hitting 54 per cent whileCentre bagged at a 47 per centclip. Rose also had a slimrebound advantage 37-36.

The Engineers outpointed thehome team 31-30 from the field,but the Centre ballclub won thecontest at the charity stripe asthe Colonels connected on 15 of 24opportunities while Rose-Hulman had only eight chancesand made good on just three ofthem.Mutchner's team placed four

men in double figures as DaveSutherland and Roger Edelbrockshared scoring honors with 12each. Steve Van Dyck and JeffJustus chipped in with 11 and 10

markers respectively.

Bringing in a supersonic jet on a 10,000 ft. cement runway is tough

enough. But landing one on a 500 ft. piece of a carrier deck, moving at25 knots, is even tougher. Only a few men are good enough to do it. And

Faculty Staff &Student Lounge??

If you remember last week I brought up the issue of the proposedfaculty and staff lounge, and I asked for feedback from anyone in-terested in presenting the faculty view on the subject. Unfortunatelyno one on the faculty seemed interested in speaking out in favor of alounge for faculty use, however if you will look over Jeff Shanks'SGA News, you will see that he presents an extremely strong case infavor of the faculty retaining t.he lounge.

Unfortunately Jeff's column still leaves a few questions un-answered. First of all he mentions that a lounge would enable in-structors to synchronize their courses to prevent students from be-ing "snowed" by totaly new material. My question here is, just howoften does this happen? In my experience I have noticed much moreoverlap of course material, rather than the opposite.Admittedly, interviewers could possibly use a place to relax, but

away from students? Let's not forget that they are here to do a joband they do take a lunch hour just like everyone else.The fact that students may ultimately wind up sleeping on couches

ill the old library rather than in the original lounge is really not anissue here. Nor is the sneaky, underhanded way in which thetakeover was originally attempted, an issue. What every student inthis school should concern himself with now is the effect that an ex-clusive faculty and staff lounge will have on him, the student.It is the opinion of the Thorn, that to create a faculty and staff

lounge and then restrict its use to students would only serve togenerate an elitist attitude among the faculty and further separatethem from the students. No trial period is necessary to know that ifan instructor is in the lounge, then he certainly isn't going to beavailable to answer questions for the students.

If it is absolutely necessary to force a compromise on this issuethen take the path which seems to satisfy both factions. Make thelounge both available and attractive to students and faculty.Even if you are only remotely interested in the fate of this issue

then you will want to come and express your views on the subject orjust watch. The date is January 28, this coming Wednesday, the thneis 12:00 noon. At this time both sides will present their argumentsand you can be involved.
