Berkeley Professor,Tech Alumnus writeson Indo China Activism

Dear Sir:I am writing to you as a Caltech

grad (BS 1959, PhD 1964) and alsoas a teacher of Electrical Engi­neering. My message is that here atBerkeley, at least, even the Elec­trical Engineers have had it with theIndochina war. Has the Presidentviolated the Constitution by de­claring war without consent ofCongress? Are we killing people forno reason? Is democracy in danger?

I don't know how people arethinking at Tech nowadays. Maybethese questions sound strange,weird, or even seditious to you.They sounded that way to me,before our government proceeded towithdraw from Vietnam byattacking in Cambodia. But thesequestions have closed our university,and this time - for the first time ­even we engineers feel things havegone too far. This morning EEstudents leafletted the rush hour onthe Bay Bridge. Today our closeddepartment is working on somethingbesides our circuit problems.

I am not a rock-throwing radical,and I don't believe in illegal action.In a democracy we hopefully donot need it. But if we want to keep

Sincerely yours,Gustav AlbrechtChemistry Department

Albrecht Cites TimingWithdrawal as PrimaryIndo-china Issue

Dear Sir:As I see it, the difference

between Nixon and the students iswhen, not whether, to get out ofVietnam. The students, and manyothers, want to get out now. ThePresident wants to do it slowly,over a period of years, ostensibly toprevent what he calls a "bloodbath" of "two million" Vietnamese,at the hands of their fellow­countrymen.

I think that the President is notonly wrong, but very hypocritical.

After our own civil war,. yankeesdid not kill millions of southerners,nor even thousands. After worldwars I and II we did not slaughtereither Germans or Japanese. In therecent Nigerian war the Biafrandeaths decreased after the war.

A blood-bath already exists inVietnam -and now also in Cam­bodia. We know that this exists, tothe extent of 41,000 U.S. soldiers,and perhaps ten times this manyVietnamese. This is certain, withlittle hope that it will decrease.

Whether a similar slaughter willcontinue when we withdraw is mostdoubtful, indeed, unlikely. After all,the Viet Cong are south Vietnamesethemselves, and the north Viet­namese are their allies. Why shouldthey kill their own people? Thecorrupt officials, such as Thieu andKy will depart swiftly with the U.S.troops to havens where they willlive in luxury on their Swiss bankaccounts.

Another point. We were told inWorld War II that the killing ofsome 200,000 Japanese at Hiro­shima and Nagasaki was justifiedbecause "it saved American lives."President Nixon now suggests thatAmerican lives be lost to saveVietnamese lives. If we withdrawNOW, there is no doubt thatAmerican lives would be saved.

And, I submit, Vietnamese livesas well.

Letters,

Schachter Resigns Academic Affairs PostThe United States is presently

involved in one of the most seriouscrises since its birth. PresidentNixon has expanded the war inSoutheast Asia and the actions ofseveral governors have brought thewar to the campuses of ourcountry.

For the past several years, manystudents at our colleges and univer­sities have been protesting ourinvolvement in the war in SoutheastAsia. This protest led to LyndonJohnson's decision not to run forthe Presidency again. But gettingone man out of office has donelittle good, since Johnson's succes­sor, Richard Nixon, is as bad, if notworse, than he was.

The time has come for Americaas a whole to renounce the illegalcommitment of American troops tothe undeclared war in Viet Nam andCambodia. This can be done onlyby electing those candidates forCongress this fall who are runningon peace platforms, since it is fairlyobvious from his actions that Nixonwill only listen to those people whohave power. I therefore urge allmembers of the Caltech communityto take time off for the rest of theterm and devote it to working forone of these candidates.

PlannerHaving been a planner of, and a

participant in, the activities of thepast several days, I have becomevery aware of the apathy of thestudent body and its electedofficials and their refusal to take aserious stand on the issues at hand.Because of this and the fact that Iwill be working on political cam­paigns during the rest of the yearand will therefore not be able toperform all of my duties as ASCIIDirector for Academic Affairs tothe best of my ability, I am nowhanding in my resignation from thisoffice to be effective as soon as anew office holder is elected, but nolater than June 1, 1970. I am alsoresigning from position as studentrepresentative on the Faculty Aca­demic Policies and Curriculum Com­mittees and as student observer tothe Facuity Board and as studentcoordinator of the Foreign StudyProject.

(a move I tried to foster), but adoctored copy would have. If theBOD knows more about the eco­nomics of running a coffeehousethan the Managers do, then I knowmore about the Air Force thanHarold Brown.

But still, even if the BOD isincompetent, as long as they don'tdo anything, it's all right, isn't it?Wrong. The Coffeehouse's im­provement program has been severe­ly damaged, and chances of accomp­lishing anything until the falldoomed, by the rumors goingaround that the Coffeehouse isgoing to be moved soon. Everyeffort of the Managers to get someassistance was greeted with a "Butyou're moving. Why should youwant to improve the place you'releaving?" And Managers' denialsdon't hold as much weight as BODdiscussions. The Managers are under­standably somewhat upset aboutthis development, as well as theimplication that the BOD knowsmore about running a Coffeehousethan the Managers do, and theBOD's unwillingness to show thereport even to all of its ownmembers. In short, the BOD hasscrewed it.

And Pank the HankOf course, A Coffeehouse in

Winnett is totally unfeasible evenshould the money magically appearovernight. In the last 2~ yearsWinnett Center's Lounge has beenused for 463 scheduled events, anindication that co-habitation with aCoffeehouse would be rather dif­ftcult, and a fact which to the bestof my knowledge none of the BODsavants has e":xr taken the troubleto discover. This says nothing aboutthe difficulties of relocating thetelevision, the gameroom, the Big T,the Darkroom, and Louise Hood.No communication.

Still, with all the troubles in theworld today, why do I care aboutsuch a thing as meddlesome ama­teurism on the part of a studentgovernment? Good point; I replythat I believe how one operates hereis indicative of how one will operatein the real world, and I care abouthow people operate in the realworld. Get in the habit now oftelling toads that we're not beingtaken in.

A Time for Praise

ASCIT - You Blew Itby Etaoin Schroedlu

The ASCIT BOD has blownanother one. Or, to be precise, somemembers of the BOD have blown it;it's not certain that everyone isculpable..

As some of you may be aware, ifyou can stomach reading the inaneMinutes of recent BOD meetings,the Coffeehouse-in-Winnett idea isstill festering around. Apparentlysomebody has a ftxation on thesubject, presumably either our es­timable President or Vice-President,or perhaps both.

Quite a while ago the currentCoffeehouse Managers, upon re­quest, spent most of a weekendpreparing a 4400-word report forthe BOD concerning putting acoffeehouse in Winnett Center. Thisreport was designed to covereconomic questions only, such ascost of installing a stove and ventsand redecoration and so on; it wasnot designed to answer the morephilosophical questions concerningthe desirability of this idea, as itclearly stated. Somehow the BODmade the unwarranted assumptionthat the Managers liked the idea.What was actually stated was that,for between $50,000 and $100,000a Coffeehouse in Winnett would beeconomically feasible. Even asidefrom the semi-infinite number ofmore useful things that could bedone with such an amount ofmoney, one is led to wonder whereit is supposed to be coming from,the profits from, the profits fromnext year's little t?

Hank the PankWell, ASCII's most recent act

was to send the report to com­mittee, so nothing is going to bedone with it, right? Well, I'm notsure, but I think I discern somehanky-panky on the horizon. Thereport was received quite a whileback now, under pressure, but as oflast Friday no effort had been madeto have the report distributed to allthe BOD members. Apparently onlythe select few are going to get tosee what the original report saidbefore it is 'revised' by the powersthat be. The excuse? It was 'hastilyprepared.' Bullshit. The originalwon't see the light of day, unlessthe downtrodden members of theBOD rise up against their overlords

There is a time for criticism and a time for praise.In these critical times we see a phenomenon very praiseworthy on

this campus. The activities of Friday and Monday exemplify the conductcomensurate with the caliber of the men and women of the Caltechcommunity. The organizers of the rally Monday, no matter how sparselyattended it may have been, are to be commended for their encouragementof reasonable conversations with the trustees.

It may be corny or out of date, but these reporters reactions are thatwe have been gifted with a pretty "cool" trustees. Those of them whspokewith the students were quiet but outspokenly honest. We realize that someof the more conservative trustees appear to have avoided confrontation butit seems even that course of action was proper, eliminating an unnecessarilyand likely unresolvable verbal conflict. We don't see this as copping out.What conversation took place was constructive; furnishing other solutionsto the problem of communication.

for a few Caltech students inbusiness and Government, mailingcampaigns to Washington, planninga Community Convocation, pushingfor the McGovern Amendment toEnd the War, discussing in small­group meetings with the Trusteeshow Caltech can most legitimatelyinfluence national affairs, and othersthat I have omitted or don't knowabout. I am very excited about thepossibilities for constructive action.I am further excited that so manyCaltech students are becoming in­volved in and committed to suchactions.

Please do not assume that theInstitute is becoming a politicallobby or that ASCIT or the YMCAis trying to intimidate students intoflicking the rest of the term. We areworking as individuals - and indi­viduals, I hope aware of the rightsof those around us.

I would like to get away fromtalking in terms of "we-theys."Induced differences are not helpful.I think all of us have expressibleopinions on Domestic and ForeignAffairs. All of us have causes we arewilling to work for, to some degreeor another. If these call for full-timeattention through the next month,see the Deans and your Professors.Special arrangements might be pos­sible. I'd be glad to talk with youabout actions that I personally feelare effective and legitimate. Espe­cially in times as emotional as these,it is vital that we feel comfortabletalking and listening to each other.

that "Cambodia doesn't exist."Reliable sources confirm that thePresident was dismayed to seehimself on the replay, when he hadactually been calmly and soberlydescribing his talks with the Thaigovernment, apparently explainingto late-evening newswatchers that,"You know how it is, a couple ofguys get together and decide, Let'sbe U.N. Ambassadors, but first, weneed a name, what's a totallyridiculous name? I've got it, we'llcall ourselves Cam-bodia...Don'tchabelieve me, mister? Yeah, I'mtalkin' to you, in the second row,with that ridiculous purple tie."And it continued through theexplanation of how he discoveredthat Cambodia doesn't exist -- "Ifirst started to wonder when Inoticed that the Ambassadors forCambodia, Lesotho, and Guyanawere all the same man. It turns outthey don't exist either, and hetrades off, day by day," to a flightof fancy apparently recorded by theJester himself, since it seems tohave been inspired partly byPlayboy's interview with Don

At this point in the narrative it isreasonably obvious that the Jesterpurposefully neglected to mentionon the robot's speech tape that itselectronic innards also contained atransmitter of some power whichwas capable of operating on a broadrange of frequencies in the tele­vision band. It might indeed havedaunted the pilot had he knownthat this obnoxious automatoncarried half an hour of variedbroadcast fare cunningly chosen todiscomfit the leaders of six nations.

What To Do When You Get There

Miller Mak~ It Righter

Robot Hijacks Jumbo Jet

by Robert FisherTwo weeks ago when 100 of us

were marching to the Post Office tomail our letters to the President wepolitely notified City Hall of ourroute and intentions. Said the manon the phone: "What are you goingto do when you get there, haha, eatpizza?" Yesterday, we called up theMayor of Pasadena and formallyasked him, not to eat pizza with us,but to put us on the agenda todiscuss ways in which Caltech andthe Community can work togetherin exploring (in an unbiased way)implications of policy in SoutheastAsia. He turned us down. In hiswords, (paraphrased), you leave usalone and we'll leave you alone.

I can appreciate MayorBenedict's desire to be left aloneand his hesitancy to interact withstudents he neither knows norunderstands. I hope, however, thathe will leave open the possibility ofour getting to know and understandeach other.

I feel the same about differentgroups here on campus. My sympa­thies are not great for those whowould unilaterally shut down aschool and not permit anyone toattend classes. I do believe thatsome of us have found issues moreimmedia1e, nationally and personal­ly, than schoolwork. These includepolitical canvassing for various can­didates, building programs for finan­cing and implementing voter re­gistration, setting up "Internships"

mother student to have it. They aregetting tired of having their morningnewspapers full of stories aboutungrateful whelps who aren't satis­fied with living in this, the best ofall possible countries. Why don't allof those students go over and livewith the commies, for God's sake, ifthey don't like it here.

The worst thing is, all of thesedemonstrations over Cambodia aresuch a waste. If Nixon hadn't senttroops into Cambodia for a coupleof months, he would have had anexcuse for continuing the war for afew more years. So far, enoughsupplies belonging to the NYA havebeen destroyed so that even theSouth Vietnamese army couldhandle any fighting for a goodwhile. The move will probably allowthe United States to pull out manymonths sooner than would other­wise have been scheduled. Some­times peace demonstrators are notvery logical. Many cannot under­stand how a small aggressive movecan mean greater chances for peace,and for these I feel sorry, for wemust always pity the dullard. Think,people, and maybe you won't killanybody else this week.

-Nick Smith

I've heard brought up lately is,would you have been just as upsetif students had killed unarmedpolice or guards? To take it farther,would you have felt the same wayif they had been friends killed,instead of just strangers? Are youconcerned because human beingsdied, or because it might acciden­tally happen to you someday soon?Ask yourself that, and don't foolyourself with a lot of self-righteousgarbage about how much you abhorviolence and bloodshed.

Kill Them AllThe really frightening thing is

that some Americans actually seemto think that there was nothingwrong with the actions of Ohio'sgovernor and National Guardsmen.The president of Bob Jones Uni­versity, (for the unenlightened, itwas named after an evangelist of thesame name) supposedly a conserva­tive true American, actually saidthat the students killed at KentState got what they deserved, andthat he thought that troops withmortars should go and clean outBerkeley. (End of quote)

Yes, God-fearing Christian Ameri­cans, and they want peace on thecampuses if they have to kill every

Most colleges are open again,after closing to either mourn orhide. It was a little late, however,for those murdered or wounded lastweek on campuses across thecountry. Yes, murdered, and notjust by those who actually firedtheir M-l's, but also by those whoordered a combat unit for riotcontrol duty. They were murderedby those who started burningbuildings to oppose violence, and bythose who cheered while Isla Vistaburned. They were murdered byGovernors Reagan and Rhodes, whoinsisted on fighting fire withgunfire. And worst of all, they weremurdered by you and I, who didn'ttry hard enough to oppose violence,and didn't try hard enough tochange things in any other way. Weread about student riots in othercountries, and said "What a shame!But that would never happen in acivilized country like this one!"Face it, people, this has never beena civilized country, and it may notsurvive long enough to become one.We shed our crocodile tears at deadCzechs and Magyars, and closed ourears to approaching sounds ofgunfire in our own land.

the Armenians. I thank you."The Italians were ready for the

wayward jet, since it doesn't takevery long to fly from Ireland toItaly, but they were surprised whenit came in more than an hour late.This was due to the robot, whichtold the pilot when to be at Rome,and no sooner. So, he took acircuitous route, and considered thepossible consequences of doing anImmelmann in a 727, but a steepbank brought screams from Marilyn,who had elected to stay on for thefull trip, and a recorded messagefrom the robot that "My circuitsare getting nervous. You better stopthe funny stuff."

To tell the truth, the robot itselfwasn't very funny in Italy. Therewere some shots of Americanstelling Italian jokes ("Why does ittake a hundred Italians to paint ahouse?") and part of "The Secret ofSanta Vittoria," but afternoon isnot prime TV time in Italy, either,and nobody seemed to care much,except perhaps Raffaele Minichiello,who get a special broadcast greeting.

Greece was much better. It wasevening, and the robot was broad­casting both video and audio. Fromthe opening shot of Premier Papa­dopoulos sitting in his office in hisgreen hood and cape, to theMinister of Defense in his red-and-purple tights, it was plain that thecurrent rulers of Greece were totallyfreaked out on Marvel Comics.Tanks on maneuvers went Grrrrrr­aaaaauuuuuuurrrr-mmmmmm!!!!!and pistols shot bullets which wentFtak! and colonels said things like,"They don't call me the mostdangerous man in the world fornothing." and received replies like,"You mean they pay you?" Maybein the morning somebody wouldworry about whether Premier Papa­dopoulos really identified himselfwith the cataclysmic Dr. Doom.

Dear Sirs:I would like to ask, is it fair to

those students on campus who ingeneral prefer quiet to noise andwho don't like to hear perpetualrock music all afternoon andevening long every day, and,excepting Friday and Saturdaynights, is it not even against theprinciple of the honor system, thatsome students in various housesplay records and occasionally elec­tric guitars in the afternoons andevenings so loudly that the soundcan be heard clearly enough even ina room across the olive walk fromthe source of sound, with itswindows closed? And should thestudent who does not like themusic, or conglomeration of dif­ferent music, coming into his roomhave to spend his time in theafternoons and evenings sitting in acubicle at Millikan Library or sealedoff in some class building, whetheror not he is studying then, or haveto move off campus or pursue asimilar course of action to evade thesound? My opinion is, no it isn'tfair and no a student should nothave to leave his room and house toescape this undesirable sound.

Ananda Shankar Ananda Shankar.Warner 6398.

"I have had a dream to tryto combine Western andIndian music into a new form;a music which has no parti­cular name but is melodiousand touching; and whichcombines the most modernelectronic devices with the oldtraditional instrument, thesitar."

An interesting and enjoyablealbum, combining tabla and sitarwith guitars and a Moog synthesizer.This may sound difficult, but it isdone surprisingly well. I wasskeptical when I noticed the songs"Jumping Jack Flash" and "LightMy Fire" included in the album,but even these are well done. Andthe one classical sitar piece, "Sagar(The Ocean)," demonstratesAnanda's skill on the instrument.He is a nephew of both RaviShankar and Aliakbar Khan, andstudied classical sitar for six yearsunder the head of the Music Collegeat Banaras Hindu University, Prof.Lalmani Misra. The record is astrange combination of Raga andRock; and even more strangely, thiscombination seems to work. Worthlooking into.

I can't, in all conscience, recom­mend this album to purists who donot believe that we should tamperwith standards, but it is my sacredduty to tell you to listen to thealbums and make up your mind. Atleast you will know of them, andwill be a better person.

THE CALIFORNIA TECH

not to say that the album is poor ­for it most assuredly is not, but justthat it is more a collection of tracksthan an album. The second album,Unhaljbricking shows the group onthree levels, doing original material,doing contemporary folk, and doingsome ballads. In the first categorythey are merely good, with theexception of "Who Knows Wherethe Time Goes" (yes, Judy Collinsdid it), which was written by thegroup's lead singer, Sandy Denny. Itis hard to listen to Judy Collinsafter this one beC'~~~e as if it werenot enough that Miss Denny cansing more emphatically than MissCollins, the group is much betterthan Judy Collins' accompaniment.Fairport Convention has two excel­lent guitarists and a truly out­standing rhythm section. On thecontemporary folk, primarily Dylanand Joni Mitchell, the groupdisplays an understanding and empa­thy rarely seen in copies of songs.The depth of these songs isoutstanding, and truly amazingwhen you consider that the materialthey choose is generally the moreobscure pieces. However good thesepieces are, the old ballad, "ASailor's Life" is the peak of thealbum. The interplay between vocalsand rhythm, guitars and violins andeven between the guitar is as tightas you can find, yet there is still afeeling of freedom in the song. Inaddition to this being the best songon the album, it is important inanother way - it is the directionthat the group takes on their latestalbum, Liege and Lief. They godeeper into their roots andcompletely restructure old ballads,tearing them apart and then goingover each word and finding theright combination of notes to reallygive it meaning. On this album too,the violin is finally added as a thirdlead sound,· complementing thevocals and guitar. Perhaps more sothan any of the others, DaveSwarbrick on violin is a virtuoso,for it is his playing that ultimatelymakes this album as fine as it is. Areal high point of the album is"Matty Groves," done in theinimitable ~tyle of the group.

Fairpoint ConventionEvery once in awhile, I decide to

really chance buying an album,solely on some periphera~ informa­tion. More often than not hopeexceeds realization. However, oc­casionally, a real find is discoveredand it becomes my duty to pass onand share this find. I will nowdischarge my obligations aboutFairport Convention, a group ofhighly talented young British musi­cians. I would have liked thisprinted last week, when they wereappearing at the Troubador, butperhaps this will stimulate recordsales.

It has been said that the Englishare peculiarly eclectic, and this isnowhere more evident than in thefield of pop music. Fairport Con­vention have not merely copiedmany styles, but like the Byrds,have absorbed the whole system.That is they can adapt the mood ofthe music uniquely to a song,regardless of tradition without risk­ing the product sounding eithersterile or contrived. In essence, theyare a folk oriented group. Theymost often return to the main­stream of old english ballads. UnlikePentangle, they are capable ofrocking as well as, if not better thanany other group. The musicianshave borrowed certain conventionsfrom jazz, but the style in whichthey play is basically a folk style.The writing is basically folk andcountry, as are the harmonies, butthe finished result is always freefrom any attempt at categorization.In their three albums, all on A&M,they display these talents andabilities to such a degree that evenif you don't intend to own thealbums, you should at least givethem a listen.

The first album, simply entitled,Fairport Convention is the mosttentative offering of the three. Theygive promise and on some cutsdeliver, but as a whole, the album isone of trial and search. They arelooking for their style, and try someothers brilliantly, but there is nosense of unity on the album. This is

Continued from Page Onefountain were small and accordingto professors the boycott wasunsuccessful. Attendance at someclasses increased. Some of thestudents appeared to have attendedclasses to spite the boycott.

At noon the numbers increasedby a factor of two or three, stillleaving the Millikan-Throop areafairly sparcely populated. Somestudents appeared with signs stating"Support Nixon," and at least one~Udent was heard to vocallyrenounce the action of the activists.

The planned noon rally was,however, the major action called forby the organizers who wanted to"impre$-.the Trustees with thetremendous degree of concernwhich they [the students] felt."Several of the Trustees openlysupported the suggestion that con­cerned students be allowed tosuspend individual academic respon­sibilities for the remainder of theterm and make up the missed worklater in the year.

A policy statement released byDean Huttenback supporting thesuggestion was released Mondaymorning. A Monday afternoonmeeting .of the Academic Policies

I Committee formally approved aplan of action for implementing thesuggestion, pending approval byindividual professors.

Monday evening many of theTrustees ate dinner with students inthe student houses.

varsity team 51-3 in Santa Barbara.Goodspeed and Hammond with 74and 76, respectively, played well,but the Tech team couldn't matchthe UCSB scores, which included70, 71, 73, and 75 (par was 72).The golfers then dropped a 29-25decision to the Cal State LA JV's.Goodspeed again paced the teamwith 75. In an away three-waymatch the Techers were able tobring only four experienced playersto Cal State Dominguez Hills' homecourse. Consequently, they lost toCSDH 42-12, but squeaked by theValley State JV's 28-26. In thatmatch Woodson had 75, Goodspeed76, and Simmons 78. The linkstersavenged this loss in another three­way match, however, defeatingCSDH 34-2 and Cal Lutheran 29-7.Goodspeed fired a 75 to lead theteam.

Dismal ReturnThe golfers made their return to

league play a dismal one, losing toWhittier 43-11. AlI the Caltechscores were high, with Goodspeed's83 the best the team could manage.The linksters made a surprisinglystrong showing against the USCvarsity and LaVerne in anotherthree-way match. They defeated LaVerne 28-8 and lost to USC, whichas won 48 straight matches and wasrated first in the nation last year,26-10. Simmons was low man forCaltech with 81.

On May 1 Caltech finishedfourth in the conference tourna­ment at Hacienda Country Club,beating Claremont-Mudd and Po­mona. The team total (36 holes,four men) was 678. Goodspeed,with 82-77--159, was third indivi­dually in the tournament. Threedays later the linksters lost toPomona 34-20, despite Goodspeed's76.

by Jim SimmonsLed by the consistent playing of

number one man Roger Goodspeed,the Caltech golf team has fashioneda 3-5 league record and a 7-10record overall. The team hasimproved considerably over lastyear, when the respective recordswere 1-9 and 5-9 and when thenon-league schedule was easier.Besides Goodspeed, a sophomore,who averages 78 for eighteen holes,the team obtains balanced scoringfrom junior Bob Hammond, sopho­more Alan Woodson, senior NeilHolmes, sophomore Jim Simmons,and senior Jim Taylor.

The last two matches of secondterm were bitter defeats for thelinksters. They lost an away matchto defending league champion Clare­mont-Mudd 30-24 and dropped ahome match to Redlands (whomthey had defeated earlier 33-21)28-26. In the former match, theCaltech medalists (low scorers) wereSimmons and Woodson with 80and in the latter match Holmes ledthe team with a 79.

The team opened third term on astrong note, defeating Occidental34-20. Woodson was medalist with78. Then the golfers lost to Pomonain an away match 32-22. TheSagehens were tough on their homecourse, as evidenced by the factthat Simmons and Goodspeed bothshot 74's and were defeated bytheir opponents, who had 70 and72. The team bounced back,however, to pick up its third leaguevictory against Whittier, 31-23, in ahome match. Taylor was medalistwith 78.

With the track season over, thereal die-hards found themselvesabandoned (as derelicts, I suppose).Thus, only two Techers tried theSouthern Pacific A.A.U. 25 kilo­meter championship.

The course had to be hastilychanged Saturday morning, afterA.A.U. officials and runners foundCal State College at Fullerton to beclosed down indeed. The track,where the race was to start, waslocked at all gates, and no custodiancould be found, while the runners,locked out of the rest rooms andshowers, looked for the nearestopen gas station.

The race got off, just about ontime, after someone dug up a cappistol, with only minor confusionabout the course (How does thatfinish go again, John?) or the actuallength (I think it's short, but I'mnot sure by how much). Everyonehad a good time (I suppose one hasto go in for that sort of thing); theover forty set and the joggers wereout in force, and the cool, cloudy,although humid weather made iteasy on everyone. Anyway, it was agood tune-up for the Palos VerdesMarathon on May 24.

Much to his surprise, Ron Kentdiscovered it in the electric power industry!

Ron got his BSEE from the University of Colorado

in 1966. In campus interviews he thought he might

go into aerospace. Or electronics. Or maybe oil.

He admits he had never before given a thought to

the electric power industry. Yet he chose Southern

California Edison. Why? Because, as Ron says,he became convinced the challenges were greater,

with few restrictions. And he hasn't been disap­

pointed.

Ron is involved with human relations through

his SCE-sponsored work with organizations that

promote community, social, economic, educa­

tional and cultural activities, including work withminority and underprivileged groups.

He also works with environmental problems,

through engineering skills that will help with air

and water pollution, conservation. community

planning.

Plus, he has the exciting chance-of-a-lifetime to

be in on the ground floor of the next great tech­nological explosion. As Ron puts it, too many

engineers don't realize that the heart of electrical

engineering really lies with electric utilities of the

size and scope of Edison.

Today the electric utility industry is undergoing

tremendous changes. For example: How do youdouble, in the next 8 years, the generating capacity

it has taken 75 years to build? How do you minia­

turize a substation? How do you put a 66,OOO-volt

transmission line underground?

As a result of Ron's decision to come to SCE,

his family enjoys a life that reflects his earningpower at Edison. He's happy with his personal and

professional growth and development. And he'sworking on his MSEE at USC at Edison's expense.

How about you? Electrical, Mechanical andCivil Engineers are needed. Just write: L. W.

individuals. Costia Bergman pre·sented the case of "Campaign GM"for the Trustees' consideration.

Noting the potel)tial for bothindividual and mass education,Leonidas Guibas proposed that theTrustees assist with a program of"Caltech Ambassadors" to industryand government. Dr. PeterGoldreich then discussed the possi·bility of rearranging the academiccalendar to allow those interested ininvolving themselves in politicalactivities a chance to do so.

The discussion which followedranged over just about all of theissues presented,' and then some.Literature relating to the activitieslast Friday was distributed to theTrustees. Paul Wegener, co-ehainnanof the CEAC, presented a list ofproposed actions and policies reolated to the improvement of theenviromnent which the board couldimplement.

After the meeting, several Trus·tees experssed emotions rangingfrom respect to admiration for themanner in which Caltech studentsand faculty expressed both theirconcern and opinions on both theprevious Friday, and at the rally theday of the Trustees' meeting.Several Trustees expressed the feel·ing that students, faculty, andadministrators basically agree on aspectrum of issues, and that themeeting did a great deal to dispelmuch of the trepidation with whichstudents and faculty and theTrustees may have viewed oneanother.

Lost Lost WeekendA last few words probably

should be said as eulogy for thisyear's Lost Week-End. Quite franklyattendance was pitiful, althoughmost of the people who went saidthey enjoyed themselves. Whetherthis constitutes a dud, I don'tknow. In addition to having triedsomething new this year, there weremany conflicting events that week­end, both campus and house, andthere was a lack of advertising

to Calendar reVlSlons for theupcoming academic year. Here toothere was a valuable exchange ofintellectual ideas and personal con­victions.

And so Friday ended witheveryone feeling a little less con­fused and frustratedand a littlemore optimistic. This success canonly be traced to the fact thatthose who personally had verydefinite political positions put themaside in order to keep this projectas objective and opemninded aspossible.

I can only say that Friday was auseful and valuable experience;however it was not an end in itself.I therefore wish to urge all readersto go out and work for the causethat you feel is right. I am ...
