Editorial Letters Editorial

Last year's furor over the amount of drug usage by Caltechstudents has had one good consequence, for the recently an­nounced Institute policy on drug usage is both enlightened andeffective. This policy, stated in the booklet Drugs and the Cal­tech Student, is perhaps the most reasonable and enl ightenedpolicy set forth by any major university in this country. The In­stitute recognizes the impossibility of acting "in loco parentis",of policing the students rather than treating them as responsibleadults. The policy was passed by the Board of Trustees, and wethink this will help to revive student confidence that this bodydoes look after the latter's interests, after all.

Though enlightened, the new policy clearly defines the In­stitute's concerns in the matter of drug use among students.What an individual student does on his own is no concern of theschool's, as long as illegal acts qre performed off-campus. Theprime concern of the rules are to prevent misuse of Instituteproperty, and to prevent unnecessary hardships to innocent stu­dents. Perhaps the most enlightened part of the policy, and alsoone of the most crucial parts, is that a student convicted in adrug case will not necessarily be expelled from the Institute foran offense which does not entail a violation of the Institute rules.This is a courageous stand, and both the committee and theBoard are to be commended for an excellent job.

onLewis CallsDiscountDear Eds:

Everyone at Caltech has spentmoney -- a lot of money at theCaltech bookstore. Watching allthat money pass over the counteris a part of lif'e at Tech. TheCaltech bookstore sells books andsupplies to students at exactlythe same prices charged byVromans and other local estab­lishments. Often a cheaper edi­tion can be bought off campus.

This year the bookstore ex­pects to make $24,000 profit. Ithas been making about thismuch profit annually. Of, thismoney most goes to pay for thebookstore building. The buildingwill be paid off next year andthe Institute will have gottena free building off' of your money.$3,500 of the profit will go toASCIT. Last year ASCIT formeda committee to ask for a 10%discount for students. The book­store gave the research project$2000 and the committee wasdissolved.

Last year the bookstore sold$178,000 in books and periodicalsto students and faculty. Thefaculty already gets a 10% dis­count. Thus for under $18,000,probably well under $15,000 thebookstore could give students a10%. This is well under the$24,000 profit which the book­store currently makes. Indeed itleaves enough to payoff' theloan.

Furthermore the bookstore re­frains at this time from sellingsuch high profit items as cigar­etteS (perhaps at 35c a pack)candy, or posters because theyclaim that these do not go withthe image of a "dignified tech­nical bookstore." It serves noone's best interest when thebookstore refrains from sellingpopular items, items whose salewould go a long way to payingfor a discount, simply for thesake of dignity.

The Institute does the studentsno favor putting the bookstoreon campus. It makes a sizeableprofit on the students. It goesto little trouble to secure thebest bargains for students or torespond to stud€nt needs orwishes. The bookstore says it

CIA Accusedby FerdntanEditors:

T. J. O'Neil's letter to the Tech(25 April) reveals a startling mis­conception of the string of recentassassinations in the U.S.: Mal­colm X, President Kennedy, Dr.King, Bobby Hutton, etc. Werethese deaths really the fault ofsolitary extremists?

Consider one of the assassi­nations about which most isknown: that of JFR. Thanks tothe patient efforts of Mark Lane,Harold Weisberg and manyothe'rs, we now know that theofficial story, that Lee HarveyOswald, acting alone and for hisown fanatical reasons killed JFK,is false. Furthermore, we knowthat the evidence readily availa­ble to the Warren Commissionwould readily have convincedthem of this, if they had beensearching for the assassin, ratherthan seeking only to reassurethe public about the officialstory. Why should the govern­ment hide the facts about a"lone assassin"? Well, we knowalso, due to the labor of MarkLane, Harold Weisberg, DistrictAttorney Garrison of New Or­leans and others, that CIA menor eX-CIA men, trained by theCIA in violence, committed thethe assassination. The full ex­tent of CIA involvement is notclear, but the fact of such in­volvement is.

Bobby Hutton, on the otherhand, was murdered by the po­lice while surrendering to them.A murder by an agency of thegovernment.

It is also a matter of recordthat Malcolm X, reversing hisformer idea that the Muslimswere out to get him, pointed outshortly before his death that theMuslims COULD NOT HAVEBEEN responsible for the har­rassments he was receiving. Dueto his former high position inthe Muslim religion, he knewhow the Muslims operated andwhat they could and could notdo. Unfortunately, in the caseof Malcolm X, the conspiratorswere more successful in hidingtheir trails.Government involved

With the government involve­ment in the murders of JFK andHutton, with the suspicious cir­cumstances in the murder of' Mal­colm X, and with the disclosuresof the methods of operation ofthe hidden agencies of govern­ment, is not the hypothesis ofindividual fanatics restrained bya benevolent government grow­ing rather thin? Is it not moreprobable that various' agenciesof the government are now utili·zing or encouraging others toutilize a FINAL solution forthose left-wing leaders they can·not otherwise cope with? Evenif Dr. King were murdered by alone fanatic - and all one has isthe government's word that thegovernment is innocent - is notthe encouragement given to po­tential aS'sassins by the more andmore blatant fascism of' the gov­ernment and by the spectacle ofthe government murdering itsleft-wing opponents perhaps thekey factor?

Mr. Lewis also seems to overlook that the bookstore doessupport the student body indirectly. He does mention the factthat the bookstore gave $3,500 to ASCIT, but he fails to makeit clear that this is a yearly contribution. His claim that the stu­dent committee on the bookstore was dissolved after the book­store gave $2,000 to the research project is also false, since itwas the work over the past year of that committee, as well as thework of the Faculty Undergraduate Relations Committee, uponwhich the Faculty Board based its decision to recommend theforming of an official Bookstore Committee.

Again, we grant Mr. Lewis the right to express his own opin­ions, but we cannot stand silent and see them go unchallanged.

About the Discount

About the Bookstore

Bookstore Does Contribute

A Reasonable Request

Next, Mr. Lewis demands "a student voice in the purchas­ing policy of the bookstore." Here, we fail to see exactly whatwhat Mr. Lewis wants that he does not already have. At present,students are able to order virtually any book or periodical throughthe bookstore. Perhaps Mr. Lewis is concerned with having thebookstore sell candy and cigarettes. Although with the numberof candy and cigarette machines on campus we are not at allsure that they would be the "high profit" items Mr. Lewis claims,this certainly would not be an unreasonable request. As a mat­ter of fact it's so reasonable that at last Monday's Facluty Boardmeeting a resolution was passed urging President DuB ridge toform a Bookstore Committee composed of students and faculty.There is little reason to believe that Dr. DuBridge will not formsuch a committee. Thus, in the near future, students will indeedhave some voice in the items they would like to see sold at thebookstore.

Finally, Mr. Lewis demands an immediate 10% discount onbooks and periodicals sold to students. He states that the Insti­tute "will have gotten a free building off of your money." Hisstatement is not exactly correct.

When it was discovered that funds were lacking to completethe bookstore, a loan was arranged. This loan was not drawnfrom some outside source, but it came from the Institute Endow­ment Funds. These funds are what represent your money. Al­though it may seem dubious at the times when term bills comealong, what you pay for tuition actually represents only a smallpart of the actual cost of your education. The balance comeslargely from interest on the Institute Endowment Funds. Thus,the loan the bookstore is repaying is actually being paid to thefunds that support a good deal of your education.

Mr. Lewis' statement that the loan would be paid off at theend of this year even after a 10% discount was deducted fromthe earnings is false. According to Mr. Kermit Jacobsen, Direc­tor of Procurement and Auxiliary Services, the bookstore wouldbe unable to payoff the remainder of the loan should a discountbe granted. Once the loan is totally paid off, we would certain­ly be in favor of granting a 10% discount. This is undoubtedlyone of the things which the Bookstore Committee would investi­gate.

The Bookstore Manager

Mr. Lewis first demands "student approval of the new book­store manager." What Mr. Lewis fails to realize is the fact thatthe administration is perfectly will ing to cooperate with the stu­dents in the hiring of a new manager. The administration hasrequested ASCIT to select several students who would meet withprospective managers informally. The opinions of the studentsas well as those of faculty members will be taken into considera­tion when the final selection is made.

It was with no little trepidation that we made the decisionto print Mr. Steve Lewis' letter concerning bookstore. Our doubtsarose out of our concern for the rights of the student body ingeneral, for it was felt that Mr. Lewis' inflammatory statementsmight indeed hinder the progress of a student-faculty committeewhich has been investigating the bookstore question since thebeginning of the cshool year. Our decision to print the letter wasbased on our belief that the Tech should serve as a forum for anystudent's opinion, whether or not the editors happened to agreewith that student. (Witness also Mr. Ferdman's letter in thissame issue.) We, however, do not have to leave such a letterunanswered. Let us examine Mr. Lewis' "demands."

tern of Caltech needs change. Butit appears we cannot havechange with a ruling body thattakes the position that the pres­ent setup is ordained by God, andany criticism of it is blasphemy.Thus, reform of the system muststart at the top, as I have pro­posed.

by Tom CarrollAfter clarification of multiple

rumors, the California Tech hasreached the conclusion that thereare fewer bigots in the housinglist than was previously presum­ed (see March 7 California Tech).Not one example of racial dis­crimination has been uncoveredand all leads have proven fruit­less.

In actuality, the controversycentered around a misunder"standing between the Office ofGraduate and Off-Campus Hous­ing and a receptionist who work­ed for the volunteer Housing In­formation Service of Altadena atthe beginning of the year. Itseems that the female Negrotelephone operator who was pur­portedly discriminated against bylandlords advertising in the hous­ing list was merely seeking amore' suitable apartment thanthose offered. She was unhappywith the appliances in the kit­chens of the places she had tried,and the Housing Office calledHIS to obtain more listings. Anensuing misunderstanding dur­ing a phone call precipitated thecontroversy.

The Tcch also checked some'of the landlords presently ad­vertising through the HousingOffice and found no unwilling­ness to accommodate Negro ten­ants. It seems that the landlordshad honest intentions when theysigned the non-discriminatoryclause on the Housing Office'sapplication. Although the Techpublicly apologizes for any harmdone in the investigation, it alsois overjoyed that in this case itwas proven wrong.

Caltech is not a scene ofstudent violence and disorder.Great throngs of angry studentsneither imprison administratorsnor fill Throop Hall. The compar­ative tranquility of the Caltechcampus does not, however, meanthat Caltech has somehow avoid-'ed the urgency for re-examina­tion which has touched so manyother colleges and universities.

I began this series of articlesto encourage public discussion ofissues vital to Caltech, Le. wh~rewill this Institute of Technologygo from here? This is necessarynow, because in spite of the op­portunity for a redefinition ofthe Institute represented by the"Science for Mankind" slogan,the faculty committee on Goalsand Aims and the upcomingturnover in Administrative per­sonne'l, the entire Caltech cmu­munitiy has yet to address it­self to the form such a redefi­nition should take. Is "Sciencefor Mankind" nothing more thanfund-raising packaging of thetraditional Caltech approach ordoes this slogan represent a fun­damental and concerted attemptto direct the Institute's resourcesalong socially valuable guide­lines? Are we going to first rigid­ly define the Institute along tra­ditional lines, reorganize the In­stitute's Administration and thentry to attract a new president?I believe that we cannot answerthes·e questions until we' take ahard look at Caltech and decidewhat is fact and what is myth.The Caltech education

Stranded Tecker after spending har­rowing night on Catalina.

A Tecker's date looks on in despair as last boat pulls away from Catalinadock, leaving her and her date stranded for the rest of the evening on Catalina.How she and her date survived this harrowing experience is told in the accom­panying story.

MisFortune (???)

Alas and alack! We cannot endthe article as happily as wewould like, for a grave misfor­tune befell a certain Tecker overLost Weekend. This Tecker, whohappens to live in Ricketts, hadthe great misfortune('?'?'?) to bestranded overnight on Catalinawith his date. We can imaginethe great anguish he must havefelt in his heart when he and hisdate returned to the dock andfound it empty. But we mustsalute his great courage, for withlittle more than his date in hishand, he and his date managedto survive the great wildernessthat is Catalina at night. Morethan this, he even managed theheroic feat of returning to themainland via the Catalina FlyingService. His return to Tech wasundoubtedly the most heroicfeat of any Tecker over the week­end. 0 valiant one in RickettsHouse, the Tech salutes you.
