In an article on the master plan in the Oct. 2 issue of theTECH it was stated that 2.37 million dollars was spent in thebusiness year ending 1962 on land. This was the TOTAL valueof Caltech land holdings as of that date; the amount spent duringthe 1961·62 year was $30,000.

Rotation Discussed(Continued from page 1)

Lloyd, thought that rotationdidn't do enough to make theeffort worthwhile. Bruce Carterpresident of Blacker, went alongwith this attitUde, and addedhe didn't think that the froshgot much choice.

John Andelin, past Master ofStudent Houses, saLd that anypreference shown by numberinghouses would lead to the pro­blems of the old system. TomLatham suggested a systemwhere a frosh could changeHouses after about half a year.AndeIin said that this systemactually existed up to last yearand that it caused hardship forall concerned. Art Johnson"president of Blacker, thoughtthat rotation caused a great dealof artificiality.

The audience seconded manyof the ideas presented by thepanel, and there were, in fact,people that agreed with all ofthem. When the panel finallyconcluded it was found thatthere was very little agreementon anything, except that rota­tion did generate a great dealof House interest for at leastone week. The twenty peoplethat showed up for the firstmeeting of the Dinner Forumat least had their areas of dis­agreement cleared up by thediscussion.

dition, the recent victories ofthe '63 Tech team have beencommemorated by flaming holo­causts which recalled the de­nizens of the PPD and PFDfrom the deep abyss of unem­ployment. As a member of theteam, I can assure you that suchwarm congratulations are verygratifying.

However even a very fine tra­dition can be tainted by misuse.Public safety, campus and com­munity opinion, and commons~nse all speak out againststretching a good thing too far.It is my opinion, therefore, thatfurther celebrations of this typethis year are out of order-thisby NO means implies that vic­tories are out of order! (Note,however, that the heart of eventhe sternest ASCIT Presidentcan be melted by a victory overarch-rival Oxy). The Board ofDirectors and I would appreciatethe cooperation of each studentto preserve our hallowed tradi­tion.

Several years ago a major de­emphasis of the football programwas initiated at Caltech. For­tune sank and Tech tumbledout of the collegiate "Top Ten,"although it still remained na­tionally-ranked (612th out of620 in the 1963 pre-season pro­spectus) . In the years of thebig freeze, the initial victory ofeach season was celebrated bya roaring bonfire on the cornerof California and Arden-enoughheat was generated to thaw eventhe most unspirited heart.

ASCIT Bites Back

Within the next two years,the nature of the Air ForceR.O.T.C, program will changethroughout the country. MajorWilliam Knight, Commander ofCaltech's RD.T.C. Detachment65, is confident that Congresswill approve funds for the pro­posed O.E.P. (Officer EducationProgram) wh1ch the Air Forceis now testing in ten pilotschools. However, even if thefunds are not approved by Con­gress, the materials for the newprogram will go into use nextfall.

The O.E.P. will reduce thepresent four year RO.,T.C. pro­gram to a two year programtaken only during the junior andsenior years. Thus those in theRO,.T.C. will not spend so muchtime in RO.T.C. courses, leavingmore time for courses of thestudent's own choice. further_more, since students will notenroll until their junior year,the number of those who dropout of RO.T.C. will decrease.Finally, the O.E.P. will providea schoTarsh~p program thatwould provide a maximum of$1300 a year. Naturally thosestudents presently enrolled inR.O.T.C. will have top priorityfor enrollment in the O.E.P.when it comes into being.

This year, however, the De­tachment will continue with thepresent four year program, AS 1through AS 4. In addition to theclassroom activities, extracur­ricular activities sueh as theDrill Team and the Rifle Teamwill be continued. This Novem­ber, the Detachment will tourMarch Air Force Base and at­tend a dining in while on base.

Changes DueIn AFROTC

Mr. Jan Ranters, representingthe Netherlands Student's Coun·cil and the Netherland's govern­ment, made a four day study ofcampus life. Their project is toinvestigate the American collegesystem, so they may help insti­tute a like university in theNetherlands.

They explained that a Euro­pean university is purely aca­demic with no provision for stu­dent housing. Also there is nospecific time to graduate. A stu­dent just works to his examina­tions for his degree. The Nether­lands government is planninga new technical institute andwishes to prOVide living facil­ities for the students. There issome opposition with this amongthe Dutch students. They feelthat if they live "on campus"the university will make rulesin contrast to the complete free­dom they have now.

Cris and Jan, as they becameknown here, have visited M..LT.,Cornell, Boston U., R.P.L, North­western, and Berkeley amongothers. They said that they likedthe American system. The ideaof a fixed curriculum helps the"weaker" student. They com­mented that they especially ikedthe Caltech housing system ofallowing maximum freedom andstudent government. Comingduring initiation, they comment­ed that the initiation they wereused to was much stiffer thanthe one they observed here. Crisand Jan feel that the campussystem encourages intellectualand social contact., From herethey will travel to EI Paso,Texas, and Florida University.

The 1964 Big T includes manyfeatures of special interest. Oneof these is a full color panoramaof the grad houses which willfill the inside cover pages. Also,sections are planned picturingBooth Center and BeckmanAuditorium. An informal photo­graphic essay of the campus isalso planned by Ed Bloombergand will appear in a special sec­tion early in the book. Anotherof these features is planned byphotographer Ray Weiss, whois handling the "OutstandingCampus Personalities" pages,and will include many of thefaculty members who enjoy aparticular interest from the un­dergraduate student body.

Most important of these plan­ned features is the expandedHouses section designed to showthe increased importance of thestudent houses upon student life.The photography for this sec­tion will depend primarily uponindividual house collections, butwill be supplemented with shotsby the Big T staff..

The Activities and Sports sec­tions will benefit from the de­layed date of the April 14 finaldeadline. Other deadlines aresimilarly delayed. More recordsof this year's sports season willbe included, thus eliminating anirritating omission. The ActivityHour programs are again high­lighted within the Activitiessection.

With this emphasis upon ourmany emerging personalities,the new Big T is growing.

Girls have set a new recordat Caltech this year, 17 of themhave enrolled in graduate school.The unmarried girls outnumberthe married ones by one, andthe girls are enrolled in manyareas throughout the Institute.Many of these areas are not nor­mally thought of a somethingthat a young women would gointo.

Biology drew the most votesfrom the women with five ofthem signing up for advanceddegrees. Chemistry was nextwith four girls, followed byaeronautics and physics withthree a piece. Mathematics andastronomy each have a womantoo.

The girls are ambitious; outof seventeen 12 are trying forthe Ph.D., two want to be Aero­nautical Engineers, and threeothers are working for theirM.S. Degrees.

One thing remains unknown,though: why would any girl cometo a school with 1300 men?

THIS AND THAT

One of the more amusing be­havior patterns of our societyis its way of staunchly barringthings it calls taboo at the frontdoor, and bringing them in thewindow at the back. For theenterprising businessman whowants to peddle some deliciousvice, the trick is simply pack­aging. You don't call your viceby its real name, you surroundit with respectable associations,perhaps imply that it's for ma­ture adults only, or real he-men,or whatever. A famous exampleis the campaign which intro­duced Amerkan women tosmoking; a typical ad wouldshow a well-dressed lady sayingto her handsome, smoking es­cort, "blow some my way.," Morerecently, Playboy is taking theintellectual and status approach;add a little Hemingway and J.Paul Getty, and presto, thegirlie magazine is a part of mid­dle-class life. The movies havebeen on this highroad to richesfor some time. The social-criti­cism bit has awakened a greatdeal of profitable interest in cer­tain kinds of human behavior;but still more clever are thegood - clean - fun dirty movies,which even Good Housekeepingcan accept. These little ticklers- Dwight McDonald calls them"sexless sex comedies" and men-

There is a persistent complaint on campus that controlover the Student Houses, though more Iiberal than at mostSchools, is still more strict than it should be at Tech.

Every time a new ruling is made, or a penalty imposed forviolation of an existing one, the controversy becomes muchworse, especially in the stricken House, and the bitterness thatis churned up accomplishes nothing but bad feelings on thepart of everyone concerned. In every dispute, it seems, boththe Master's office and the complaining party have an inex­haustible source of excellent and irrefutable arguments to sup­port their positions.

Fortunately there is available what seems to be a reason­able solution to the problem, or one that should at the leastconsiderably improve the present situation. Dr. Huttenbackhas offered to give the IHC original jurisdiction over the Housesin matters of rules, enforcement, and penalties similar to theUCC's jurisdiction within the Houses. This is not a new idea,as these same prowers were exercised well and effectively byIHC's of old, until abuses of the privilege and a succession ofweak IHC's led to the gradual loss of this jurisdiction.

Under this plan the Master will be a check on the IHC, butHuttenback has said that he would probably not step in exceptin cases of gross neglect of duty, and that IHC imposed pen­alties would be acceptable to him.

The proposition is certainly worth a try-it can't makethe situation worse and it could even solve a large portion ofthe problem. A strong, effective IHC should have little trou­ble exercising jurisdiction, and the advantages of having rulesand penalties student-imposed and of having each House rep­resented are obvious. The California Tech strongly endorsesthis idea and encourages the IHC to accept this offer as soonas possible.

Ken went on to bigger and more complicated communi­cations in the special services group. On a subsequent as­signment he was responsible for the transmission designof many intercity and interstate services. His decisionswere far-reaching and affected many customers.

Ken Parker, like many young engineers, is impatientto make things happen for his company and himself. Thereare few places where such restlessness is more welcomedor rewarded than in the fast-growing telephone business.

"What kind of bad news?"skeptically inquired one of theinnocents.

When Ken Parker (B.S.E.E., 1961) joined Pacific North­west Bell he became part of a special services engineeringgroup in the Seattle office. Here was an opportunity forhim to learn about the unique services of telephony.

With learning comes responsibility, and Ken was givenhis share right from the start. He was accountable for thetransmission design of all loudspeaker services. Often, hewas teamed with a marketing salesman, who would call onhim to recommend the right system while with a customer.

The Frosh Diners Club kickedoff its new year with a talk byDr. McCann on the new inter­disciplinary fields opening upat Caltech. This was followedwith a tour of the newcomput­ing center. About 25 frosh show­ed up for this meeting, which isthe first in a series featuringvarious campus guests.

Dr. McC.ann said that becausetoday's knowledge is expandingat such a rate, that as a resultthere have been increased meld­ing and intertwining of thevarious fields. He added thatnow a competent engineer mustbe knowledgeable in more fieldsthan ever before, and that hemust get down to the basics inthose fields he does study. Thevaious examples he pointed outaround Caltech of these inter­disciplinary fields included: plas­ma physics, applied mathemat­ics, and biologica.r systems..

Dr. McCann then led the groupthrough the computing centerwhere he showed how the com­puter helped in this interdiscip­linary work.

In the coming weeks the Mon­day night Y Frosh Diners Clubwill have Dr. Sharp on "Tomor­row's Geology," followed with atalk the next week by Dr. Owenon "Biology These Days."

Speaking of football, the Uni­versity of Chicago is about torevive varsity football for thefirst time since 1939" The newteam's new coach has even comeup with several ideas for inter­collegiate competition, such asthe establishment of a leaguewith Caltech and M.LT. (espe­cially interesting when even theGlee ClUb can't get to Chicago).

Caltech's own George Beadle,

James Lawson, a leader in thenon-violent movement for civilrights in the South, will be oncampus as the guest of theYMCA on Wednesday, October23. Lawson gained national at­tention two years ago when hewas dismissed from graduateschool at Vanderbilt Universityin Nashville, Tenn., for leadingsit-ins in that city.

Lawson will speak at theYMCA Dinner Forum on October23 on "The Non-Violent Ap­proach to Civil Rights." Notonly will he explain the philo­sophy of non-violence, but willreport from first-hand experi­ence the most recent develop­ments in,. the South. Lawson isat present Special Projects Di­rector for the Southern ChristianLeadership Conference, the or.ganization which Martin LutherKing heads, and is an advisorto the Student Nonviolent Coor­dinating Committee, the organ­ization which began the sit-insand spread non-violent demon­strations throughout the South.Lawson's primary work withboth groups is to recruit andtrain non-violent leaders in allparts of the South. In additionhe is minister of a Methodistchurch in Memphis, Tenn. Thoseinterested in meeting Lawsonprior to the dinner forum maydo so at a coffee hour in the YLounge at 4 p.m. on October 23.

Lawson's appearance at Cal­tech will be the first of two pro­grams to be presented by theYMCA under the theme "TWOFaces of the Negro Revolt.," Thesecond event will be on Tues­day, October 29 (not Wednesday,October 30, as previously an­nounced), when John Shabazz,leader of the Black Muslims inLos Angeles,. wiU speak at Win­nett Lounge at 7:15 p.m.

Caltech's varsity water poloteam found the going ratherrough in its first week of com.petition, The poloists journeyedto Orange Coast College andCerritos Junior College and en­countered well-conditioned andhard-swimming teams. Tech suc­cumbed to Orange Coast by a14-3 score and dropped the Cer­ritos contest 13·5. Returning tothe home pool last Saturday,the team managed to beat a de­termined alumni group by a 7-6score in a game in which all ofthe varsity squad members sawconstderable action. Tom Crock­er and Dave Seib led the teamscoring for the three games withthree goal's apiece.

Caltech lost to a previouslyunscored upon UCLA team lastSaturday. By a 2-1 margin theUCLA team managed to preserveits winning streak,althoughthey were finally scored upon.,

The first half of the game end­ed in a draw. The only goal inthe first half was scored byUCLA on a penalty kick insidethe goal area.

The second half started as thefirst with evenly matched teams.During this time Caltech got itsgoal as UCLA did on a penaltyshot, As the second half pro·ceeded, the Caltech team beganto have difficulty in controllingthe center and the defense be­gan to strain, although it keptthe opposition in check. How- .ever, UCLA managed to scoreone more goal during this timeon an aocidental wicket off aUCLA player into the Caltechgoal.

The remainder of the gamesaw Caltech taking possession ofthe middle of the field and press­ing the UCLA defense - how­ever, the game ended beforeanother goal could be pushedthrough.

This is a new, different, andneatsy-keen column designed toinform the ignorant about thatill-directed physical violenceknown as football. In the nextfew weeks this column will ex­plain in a painfully clear man­ner the secrets and evil deepdark sneaky clever diabolicaltricks used by your very ownfootball team to bewilder, con­found, amaze, and screw theother team out of winning., Forthe first lesson, we will considerthe object of the game, the ball.

Football is played with anoblong inflated rubber ball.Some people think the originalball was an inflated pig's blad­der; this is why the ball is some.times called a pigskin by theuninitiated. This, however, isnot the case. The original ballwas an inflated foot, belongingto one Amos Alonzo Pigg; itseems Amos was injured in afactory accident, and his footwas preserved in pickle juice byan alert factory nurse; he keptit on his mantelpiece. One dayAmos' ten year old son knockedit off the mantei; the jar broke;an immediate chemical reactionpuffed the foot up to twice nor­mal size. ';J.'he lad was delighted;he seized this new toy andrushed off to find his playmates,who promptly named the goodiea football (what else?) and pro­ceeded to kick it around theneighborhood. When little Amosgot home, his father kicked himaround the neighborhood withhis wooden leg.

UCR Gridders WiltUnder Tech Onslaught

BY J. K. EVANS.A solid defense and a bruising

offense, highlighted by two longbreakaway runs, enabled theCaltech Beavers to send UC atRiverside down to a 14-0 defeatin what must be termed an up­set Friday night at the RoseBowl. CIT's defense, while stillfar from flawless, managed tofind sufficient intestinal fortitudewhen it was necessary to fendoff three UCR drives in the lastquarter; Tech's offense again de­monstrated its ability to grindout yardage three and fouryards at a time. But it was Pe­terson's 62-yard dash setting upEvans' ll-yard TD a few minuteslater and Evans' 90-yard gallopto set up Liebermann's scorewhich made the difference.,Tech's ground game chewed out328 yards to UCR's 114, butUCR did most of the aerialwork, hitting 11 of 31 for 102yards while Tech completedonly one of 6 for 27 yards.Defense Sparkles

Credit for the win must go inthe most part to CIT's defensiveunits, which held UCR to only33 yards on the ground in thefirst half and kept constant pres­sure on the passer, often throw­ing him for extensive losses.Palmer, De Klyen, and Vinson­haler in the first half and Taynaiand Dahlen in the second spenta lot of time in UCR's back­field. Thomsen, Christie, Hall,and Scott stuck to UCR's receiv­ers as if they were sewed tothem, often making spectacularleaps in attempts to break uppasses and often succeeding.Defensive play was in generala lot sharper - there were nooccasions of swivel-hipped half­backs picking their way throughhordes of tacklers - and behind­the-line pursuit knocked off anybreakaway before it could getstarted.

The defense is far from per.fect, but it's coming along; theoffense can grind it out; now allTech needs is to sharpen up itspassing game so it doesn't geta reputation as a one-way team.Of course a lot of practice onfundamentals always helps anyteam, and this team can alwaysuse help. It has done faidy well
