For thi s event, which would deter- mine the holder of the perpet ual trophy for the co ming year, some thirty men of Dabney journeyed to Brown ing Hall. The trophy, forgotten by Don Royce in a mo· ment of so berne ss , will be pre- sented to Browning in the fu- ture. In addition other games were engage d in. DanCing and refre s h- ment s served to balance out the evening'S entertainment. Most Dabney men present agreed that thi s was the best exchange with Scripps in . many years. Last Monday evening, some two hundred Te ch men and three women gathered in 201 Bridge to h ear Dr . Paul Popenoe deliver the first of this year's "Y" sex lectures entitled, "The Biology of Sex." Dr. Popenoe, director of the America n Insti- tut e of Family Relations , began his ta lk with a de scription of the human r eprod ucti ve organs. Thi s talk s erved as a starting pOin t for the s ub seque nt discus - sions. This description was fol- lowed by an explanation of the manner in which the sexua l or- gans perform th eir functions. Variety of Points During the course of the eve- ning, the speaker made a wide variety of pOints designed to break down common beli efs which are without scientific proof. He emphasized, for ex- amp le, that the human ma le does not reach a sexua l climacter ic as does t he female, and that turnal em mission s, though not essential, a re normal. The so- called "safe" period in the men- s tration cycle was discussed at conside rable length, and Dr. Popenoe touch ed on t he causes of sterility, the r esults of ab nor- mal fertilization, and many other pertinent pOints. The lecture closed with a ques- tion and answer period. All the questions got quick answers from Dr. Popenoe, and a lot of con fu sed ideas were cleared up before the disc ussion e nded promptly at 9:00. Dr. Popenoe will be back next Monday to deliver his second le cture, "The Psychology of Sex." Peter To Speak Profe ss or Kyropoulos will a d- dre ss the st udent body at 11:00 a. m. Monday in 201 Bridge on recent developments in the field of internal combustion engin es. In view of the genera l interest of thi s s ubject and the wide background of exper ience of the speake r, this should prove to be one of the most interesting of th e cms lectures. Dramatic Techmen Asked To Next Tu esday evening in 208 Da bney, try ·outs for the AS CIT Melodrama will be held. The p lay is to be given in Cul bertson Ha ll on the 3rd and 4th of March.

Discussion On Teaching, Research To Be Offered

By Dick King

Occidental Tomorrow

Students Present Morning Assemhlg

Barring the possibility of a snowbound Pasadena, the Alum­ni-Beaver sponsored placement lectures resume their weekly pace after a bet ween term letup. The s ubject for next Wednes­day's seminar, "Teaching and Ac­ademic Research," is one in which all students who adhere to the name scientist s hould be interested. As usual, the com­mittee has acquired a top-notch speaker in Dr. Joseph Manildi of VCLA.

0 Tech Sends Entertainment Crew To Titillate Eagle Rock Campus

Lecture Attracts Techman Throng

Distinguished Dr. Manildi has had a distin­

guished background, as is us­ually the case with the s peakers. He is a Cal tech man a ll the way through to the Ph.D., plus one year at Harvard Graduate School of Business Administration. Aft­er spending four years with G. M. Giannini and Company, he became an assistant professor at VCLA.

Same Time, Same Place The time and place, like Tru·

man, have yet to change. It's st ill Dabney lounge at 4:30 on Wednesday. Informality will be the keynote as usual, and the discussion should break up in time for car owners to dra.in their radiators before dInner.

Included in the program for the rest of the term will be such subjects as Production and Man­ufacturing and Design Engineer­ing. Also, to include all phases of placement activities, topics such as Non-Technical require­ments for success, Looking for a J ob, and the ever important un­dergrad s ubject of Summer Jobs will be undertaken.

Throop Club Holds Bowling And Dance

Last Saturday night forty eager Throop men and dates con­verged on Pasadena Bowling Courts for two hours of bowling, then traveled to Throop Club for danCing, hot cider and cookies.

All present had a pleasant eve­ning, and hopes are high for more such fine times in the fu­ture.

Next scheduled social event for the Throopers is a snow par­ty, overnight variety, on Jan­uary 22·23. The Cal tech Ski Hut is the locale, and adequate chap­eronage is promised by our own Dr. John Scnutz. Start pleading with your girl (and her mother) and sign up quickly. Stags will be welcomed, pitied, and com­forted.

Dabne~ Loses To Browning House In ~ilk Crew Race

Last Friday evening a t Scripps was held the annual Dabney­Browning Milk Crew Race.

The trophy, forgotten by Don Royce in a mo· ment of soberness, will be pre­sented to Browning in the fu­ture.

In addition other games were engaged in. DanCing and refresh­ments served to balance out the evening'S entertainment. Most Dabney men present agreed that this was the best exchange with Scripps in. many years.

Last Monday evening, some two hundred Tech men and three women gathered in 201 Bridge to hear Dr. Paul Popenoe deliver the first of this year's "Y" sex lectures entitled, "The Biology of Sex." Dr. Popenoe, director of the American Insti­tute of Family Relations, began his ta lk with a description of the human reproductive organs. This talk served as a starting pOint for the subsequent discus­sions. This description was fol­lowed by an explanation of the manner in which the sexual or­gans perform their functions.

Variety of Points During the course of the eve­

ning, the speaker made a wide variety of pOints designed to break down common beliefs which are without scientific proof. He emphasized, for ex­ample, that the human male does not reach a sexual climacteric as does the female, and that noc~ turnal em missions, though not essential, a re normal. The so­called "safe" period in the men­stration cycle was discussed a t considerable length, and Dr. Popenoe touched on the causes of s terili ty, the results of abnor­mal fertilization, and many other pertinent pOints.

The lecture closed with a ques­tion and answer period. All the questions got quick answers from Dr. Popenoe, and a lot of confu sed ideas were cleared up before the discussion ended promptly a t 9:00.

Dr. Popenoe will be back next Monday to deliver his second lecture, "The Psychology of Sex."

Peter K~ropoulos To Speak ~onda~

Professor Kyropoulos will ad­dress the student body at 11:00 a. m. Monday in 201 Bridge on recent developments in the field of internal combustion engines. In view of the general interest of this subject and the w ide background of experience of the speaker, this should prove to be one of the most interesting of the cms lectures.

Plans Revealed For Filling Positions In Naval· Laboratories

Plans for the annual recruit­ment for positions in Naval lab­oratories were announced by Dr. D. S. Clark, Director of Place­ment, today. These plans are desig ned to give s tudents as much inform ation as possible concern ing the scientific work being carried on by the Nava l laboratories. To this end, a gen­eral assembly is schedulcd for 4:30 1).01. on January 20, in 206 Dabney. Speakers w ill be pres­ent from the Naval laboratory to discuss both the professional and personal aspects of Govern­ment employment. Graduate stu­dents and seniors are es pecially invited to attend a.lthough all students are welcome.

Work Shown This year, for the first time, a

limi ted number of interested stu­dents will have an opportunity to aCtually see some of the work that is being carried on. Arrange­ments are being made for a fi eld trip and demonstration at the U. S. Navy Electronics Labora­tory in San Diego, and the Mor­ris Dam Range or the V. S. Naval Ordnance Test Station. Demon­strations will be held at the V. S. Nvay Electronics Laboratory on January 22, 1949, and at the Mol'· ris Dam Range which is located In the San Gabriel Canyon north of Azusa, on Saturday, J anuary 29, 1949.

science, we hear of mounting crises in administration a.nd re­search. It all star ted with the recent depressed temperatures. An official, first iden tified only as Protector of the IP (a subver· sive political clique?) , had great fear that the highly decorative flowers in the campus quad might suffe r from the f rost , snow, hail, and ice. This offiCial, now known to be a Mr. Schmer­tenstein, hastened to the Depa rt­men t of Biology to learn w hat could be done to save the val· ua b le flora. The p la n t physiolo­gists went in to a great huddle, and infor med the relieved Pro· tecLor that no known physical nor chemical agents could affect the treasured plants. On the heels of this, however , word came from certain renegade gen· eticists that work was being rushed on the development of a Drosophila mutant that exists solely on the quad fl owers. We sincerely hope that the inter· neci ne struggle can be settled amicably; so that this highly pro· ductive institution can once more get about the bus iness of education.

No one ca n say that the bask etba ll squad didn 't pu ll one of the la rgest reversals in years by dumping t he Bulldogs las t Saturday night.

statement that Roy Dennis made after the Rais in Bowl gam e with Colorado A and M (which I laughed at at t he time bu t am now whistling a different tune); Roy said "I don 't look at a man's legs any more; I look to see if he 's got a fighting h ear t." That , will probably be Coach Shy's theme song pretty soon.

Although th e va rsity copped a win , the Frosh had ~ rough go of it the af te rnoon before the dou bleheader. Don't get the wrong idea from the score. Our boys a re n't that bad.

.. CORRUGATED ALUMINUM SHEATH

.. EXTRUDED POLYETHYLENE JACKET

PROBLEM: How to put a new type of covering on telephone cable

Make a new type of cable sheath no one has ever made before-make it to rigid specifica­tions-make it fast! That was the challenge put up to Western Electric's manufacturing engineers.

The new type of cable ,heath -developed through cooperative research at Bell Tele­phone Labo~atories and Western Electric Company-is a valuable alternative to the traditional lead covering for telephone cable. It is called Alpeth. "AI" stands for an inner shield of aluminum; "peth" for the outer coating of the plastic, polyethylene.

To produce this neW cable sheath, Western Electric engineers developed the Alpeth pro­duction line-a combination of new machines and new manufacturing techniques-which turns out finished cable in a fast-moving, straie-ht-line operation.

From the deserl.dry 1250 F "hot room" where thoroughly dried cable cores are stored, the core moves into this machine. An aluminum strip II fed from a lupply ree l und ern eath. After be ing corrugate d to pro~

vide fl e xibility and strength, the aluminum strip is wrapped around the core and flooded with a sticky protective compound.

The alumlnum·clad cable then panes into this machine and cornu out .econds later with an e xtruded coating of fl exible, impe rviou., gleaming black polyethyle ne. Finally, afte r a 100~foot bath In a cooling trough , the finished cable Is wound on reell and readied for shipment to 8ell Telephone companies.

Engineering problems are many and varied at Weslern Electric, where manufacturing tele­phone and radio apparatus for Ihe Bell System is the primary j ob. Etlgineers of many kim/s­electrica/, mechanical, induslrial, chemical, metallurgical-are cottstatttly working 10 devise and improve machines and processes for production of highest quality communications equipment.
