Tile ·ASCIT Tref/sllry ••• Feeling that the matter to be discussed is of vital concern to the

men it represents, the board of directors of the A.S.C~l.T. has de­cided to present to the entire student body this report of a problem requiring the !erious consideration of everyone in the corporation.

Our problem is a financial one, a question of dealing with the increasing difficulty of making present income meet the cost of the many services which are normally financed by student dues.

Nineteen years ago, the board of directors of the student body set fifteen dollars as the yearly figure for dues. That was during an era of comparatively low prices. Since that time, the Dollar has lost nearly half of its value, yet the contribution at the Techmen to his student activities has remained exactly the same. In 1935, a figure of this sort was calculated as a reasonable one with which to work in pla.nning the numerous activities of the A.S.B. Today your board is, in effect, trying to make eight or nine dollars do the same work. This task is a difficult one, indeed.

At present, an approximate breakdown of ASCIT expenses per man is as follows:

Athletic Department .................... . ... $ 5.50 Big <IT" ..... "........ ..... .. ..................... 4.00 California Tech 1.50

Social affairs .. " Athletic and other awards .... . Misc. (Assemblies, etc.) .... .... .

1.50 2.50 2.50

Total .. .......... ... .. ........................ . . ... $17.50

The difference between the total shown and the individual's contribution is at present being made up by a grant from the Insti­tute derived from Bookstore prOfits, the remainder of which go into a scholarship program. This year, the initial grant amounted to $1700, with a later adclition of $850, but, in view of the pressing need for scholarship funds, the Institute has proposed an alterna· tive scheme, a dividend of $2.00 per undergraduate student, which amounts to a substantial reduction for the ABeIT, botl] because of the decrease in Institute support and an antiCipated drop in enroll· ment for next year.

Our dues are among the lowest in the Southern California Con· ference. Only Occidental matches our low figure of fifteen dollars, and they receive a very large income from their cafeteria and book­store. Furtherfore, only Tech gives as large a list of returns on the money, notably, free dances.

Now, however, we appear to have reached the saturation point, and considerable restriction of ASCIT functions may be necessa.ry. The crisis has been' brought to a head by the sudden withering of sources of advertising revenue for the Big '''I''', an exigency prob· ably the result of the present business recession. The Institute has generously agreed to make additional bookstore prOfits available to cover the deficit, but this can only be regarded as stopgap aid for the immedia-te situation, and not a measure to be construed as a precedent.

At least t.wo altcrnuthe solutions appear as possible. First, a general cutback in ASCIT activity could be effected. This would entail reducing the size and quality of the Big "T", reducing the number of free social functions, eliminating -the use of expensive professional talent for assemblies, and holding a tight rein on awards.

Secondly, a.n attempt could be made to increase income, either from increased dividends from bookstore prOfits, from an increase in dues, or both.

Considering the rapidly increasing demand for scholarship funds, the bookstore angle looks questionable, inasmuch as a sizable portion of scholarship money comes from this source. However, ",n increase of a single dollar per man would materially brighten the pictur for the student body as a whole, while it would not put a serious dent in the student aid fund.

This $1.00 increase in itself, nevertheless, could not solve the entire problem. The remaining alternative, an advance in ASCIT dus would then $eem to be in order. A boost of one dollar per term coupled with a three dollar annual bookstore dividend would see us over the top for a long time to come. With a larger Institute grant, a dues raise might not be necessary at all; without any addi­tional Institute help, the individual may find continued ASC.IT activity more expensive by a bit more than a dollar.

These are the problems and the alternatives. Any dues revision will require a two-thirds vote in a special ASeIT election. Assuming that such a step becomes necessary to keep the corporation active in the interests and for the welfare of the men who comprise it, it behooves each member to think seriously on this issue, to discuss it with others similarly concerned, to weigh the possibilities care­fully, and to form an intelligent opinion which he may bring to bear when and if a decision has to be made.

The Board solicits opinion of ASCIT men on this problem.

In Which We Beak The Scripture falls into our

hands now and again, and we naturally eye their gossip col· umn, "Trivia" (a masterpiece of understatement) with an eye to discovering what yon vultures for culture consider to be of in­terest. Up till this week we had gleaned little of interest besides a few bits from the Golden Trashery, but now they have re­leased upon the literary world the succinct observation that, "Life is just a wet noodle." It aJso shed some light on the pur­pose of said "Trivia," which we noted and compared to our aims in our favorite column. Their col· umn is "Meant to be a review of the little 'funsy' (the quotes are theirs) things that happen every· where on campus, and, therefore, it belongs to each and everyone of you."

We found that we, too, report the campuses funsies (though perhaps with a little less whim· sy J. but we can hardly approve of this reckless openhandMness with the title to the column. Though we are always ready to libel one who isn't keeping up his blackmail payments, or per­secute one who can't, by reason of our anonymity, answer (or chastise) us, we jealously retain our journalistic autocracy and invite the masses to keep their cotton·pickin' hands off Our col­umn.

Feeling somewhat relieved aft­er our outburst of choler, we will wander on to the weekend's mighty excursions wherein we saw the strange metamorphosis of snakes to wolves and back. Loon'ow!

The Luau, otherwise named Lay-out, came off with are· sounding squish. Somewhat ill· planned (mostly with regard to weather arrangements), the Poi· PigPassion Pa.rty is still grudg­ingly admitted to have been a success, with hula·skirt bouquets to Sereno, Kam, and F. Astaire King, whose hula with Ruthie showed great hidden talent (King assures us ... ). Bowen extends putAic thanks to his fans for his part in the "entertainment"-he netted 87c.

Al Cohen was the happiest (lost) soul at the Lu. He had a really fine time, but probably wishes in retrospect that he could remember just what went on.

must regret relate the sad tales of lost morals, uniost chastity, etc., that accompanied the af· fair-much as is our sorrow at the task.

Early afternoon df:bauch was accredited to Dallas Peck and the dissolute Sue, whom, it is said, most of Fleming has given up to Peck's loving care. They arrived early, poked tentative heads out into the leaden air, and quickly adjourned back to the back seat of the vehicle, where they were observed madpassionizing while ,the blase couple in the fro n t seat sat across from each other and discussed philosophy.

The weekly Quail·hunters tro· phy goes to Walquist, Hibbard, and Six for changing the diapers on three teen-agel's from an Arca· dia girls secondary school. They were refrigerated for their trou­ble, it seems. While on the sub· ject, Shepard, still suffering the pangs of the unrequited, feasted on the charmse of a South-Pas P·T, having hence risen one lev­el above the Great White Wall. Warren Waters, also with hi g h school materiel of some long­standing, let us know that the heater in his car is working ' ex­cellently-even the walls have ears, and they heard more that wasn't fit. to print. More Loowow!!

Carl Otte has rejected Glori .. (with some bitter words?) and was seen with a very torrid fe­male with which he babbled sweet love in French and we left, cursing and frustrated.

Schuyler's betrothed must fin· ally have learned the terrible truth about Tech and Fleming In particular, for she was seen ener­getically trying to push old B.S. off a cliff-charming couple! She also refuses to live in upper Al­ley One next year after they are married-unreasonable girl!

Not without pride, we lovingly present Sta,n Barnes as uaving whirred his way through the Luau with a minor wheel from S. Having dropped wheel Doro­thy by the wayside, the mighty ellipsoid has taken up to mesh· ing with a smaller wheel, reduc­ing his gear ratio, you might say.

An EditD';fI/

Till Cflltlell Metllod . • • In the last issue of las I 1(' I ' m , we printed a c ri tica l essay on the

"Caltech Method" by Ber na rd Shore. In th is essny, a number of sugges tions were made for il'11proving the Ca ltet.: 11 cu rriculum. How­ever, we feel that the Ca ilccl1 l'deLllod has been s Ll ccessful; we will attempt to show in what way.

In an attempt La di scuss th i ~ problem, we a re immediately re­duced to another problem: Wh~ll is t he purpose of a college 01' u ni­versity? I n particu lar, what is t he purpose of such an insti tu t ion in regard to the under·gradua te studen ts "!

Cle~ll'ly , the Pl'il1W I';\' puqlOsc of a n y ins titutio n o r h igher learll . ing is to prepare its students fot' t he ir chosen occu pa tion and fo r the contact which they m ust make with the "ou tsi de world." To do these th ings, the instit ution mll st train the stuc1ents in the field of their choice, t he su bj9ct on wh ich they plan t.o base theil' life 's work. q'his training mu st be Of Ruch a nntu re that the student will be prepared to excel in h is fi e lu. 1l is \'ealized that there a.re many s tudents who will neve r rise a hove the mediocre sLage, but this s hou ld not be the fa ul t o f the ir tra in ing, Th is training mus t be of such a na ture that a ny st udent w ilh talent can find in it a ll that he needs to become a n ex pen in h is fi e ld. The pl'erequi· si tes for success must be g i ven to eu.ch studen t.

In the actual teach ing of any Ruhjcct. the !nstilu tion has to keep two th ings in mine\. F' il's t , t he prepa ra tion mu st be thorough, the s ubject must be co vered fu lly :lnd comp letely. Secondly, the student must be taught how to apply the know ledge he has learned.

L et liS look now a t how comple tely Ca ltech <l ch ieves these two ajms . In the first respect, Ca ltech doe::; a n excellent job. A studen t graduating from Caltech has had complete trai ning in his fie ld. The intensive tra ining at the Inst itute cloes however emphasize theory to the c1e trirnent of pruct ice. T h is is a fiw ll of' the curricu­lum that has been poin ted out quiLe often. Un fol' t un a te ly however, in our opin ion, it is nlmosL i mpo~ ::; il) l e to add many more courses devoted to the appli cJLion of know ledge. T he on ly way that th is could be done would be to drop other courses given a t the Insti· tute, Or to increase the course to one of fi ve yea r length.

Theore tica l training m ust be mainta ined ai a high level, hence no saving ca n be effected there. The possibili ty of a.dding a nother year to the course would appeal to no one. Hence the only thing left w ould be to s light other courses.

Students often c lail1l t11C1l loo much t ime s pent on the humani· ties for the benefit deri ved, b UL we do not feel that this view is justified. Other COUl'ses get the ir share of compbin ts also; for example, the math majors i:U'e requi reci to take a term of biology and the biology majors are required to take two ye<l l's of mathe· ma tics. Both groups feel t hat t.hey ha ve been imposed upon . But is the time spent in these COU l'ses actually was ted ·? We think not.

Th e preparat ion neces~al'Y to insure success in any profes· s iona l field passes beyond the stage of teaching the subject a lone. A very good expl anat ion of th is fact is made by Norbert Wiene r in his book '·Cybernetics". In the in t roduction to this book he shows that important work in one fie ld is often delayed by the unavai lability of methods wh ich have a lready become classical in anothe r field . In th is day of s pecia l ization of knowledge, it is im­possible fol' anyone man to become an expert in more tha n one fi eld. In fact, in m'ost fields it is imposs ible for any man to becom~ an expert in any more than a s ing le branch of his field. Hence, to make adva ncements in the most rapid manner possible, it is necessa ry that the ex perts in the val'ious fi elds be able to get together and help each other with their problems.

For example, ma ny people wou ld th in k that the field of biology ha,s nothing in com mon with higher mathematics or electronics. Actua lly howeve r, there is a grea t need fo r mathematica lly trained biologists. rr you don't believe this, ta ke a look at the book on mathematical biophysics which is in t he bookstore now. Some of the mathematica l methods used in thiR book. require much more than the two year course the biologists a re required to take.

It wasn' t too long ago that our own biology department.aced the problem of bui lding a stable audio osci llato r. This turned out to be a d iffic u lt task , s ince there was a lmsot no one among the iJiologis ts who had a ny knowledge of e lectl'Onc equipmen t. The oscil lator they decided to build was one of the mos t d ifficult they could have tried. if any of the biologists had had a good e lemen· ta ry tra ining in vacuum tube ci rcui ts, or had even been able to discuss their prol)\em wi th someone who had, their job would have been greatly s implifi ed.

Have you ever hea rd of Boolean Algebra'! It is the algebra of classes (or sets), and its genera lization is lattice theory. The theory is mainly of in te res t to ma thmaticia ns, yet a s imple form of it has applications in the fie ld of e lec trica l e ngineering. Boolean Algebra in a space cons is ti ng of only a si ng le e lement makes relay ci rcuit design a precise mathematical process.

The list of such examples could be CD. rried out a lmost indefi­nite ly. But the point is obvious. Successful men must be able to converse intell igen tly with men of othe r fIeld s. They must be able to understand the ir language, to t. ransl ate their problems into the fie ld in wh ich they a re proficient, a.nd likewise to translate them back. It is not necessary to become an expert in a ll fields, iQ. fact it is a lmos t imposs ible, yet to become rea lly outstanding in his fie ld , a man must have at leas t a working knowledge of the te rminology of othe r fields. In fac t , the more outside knowledge he has, th~ more like ly he is become outstanding.

sun 1II00'C illl llo.·ta n t to the successful sc ientist or engineer Is the ab il ily t.o present his ideiJs forcefully and effect ively to others. He must be able to express himself in telligently. He mus t be well read. The man they ca n' t let out of h is li tt le hole for fear of the impression he wou ld make on othe rs w ill certainly 'never go fa r.

The man who deports himself easily and makes a good impression on those around him will find that success almost seeks him.

In the above respects, we feel tha t Cal tech has been dOing a commendable job. The amount of material in fields outside of any given option is sufficient to give an elementary knowledge of these fields. Not much more could be given; the curriculum is quite crowded as it is. The amount of humanities studied at the Ins titute is s ufficient to ·give must s tudents the ability to converse easily with others and to form and present their ideas in an under­standable manner.

Much of t he above is , of course, pe rsonal opinion, and, as such, is open to question. We however do have outside information which throws a g reat deal of light on the merits of the Caltech Method.

The Steelma n report gives Cal tech the highest position among a ll major colleges and univers ities in the country in producing students who later attai n Ph.D.'s in science. In this report, Cal tech is listed as · firs t, with 130 Ph.D.'s per thousa nd students (this is merely a compa rat ive figure-the Ph.D.'s are in a ten year period While the students lis ted are on a one year basis). The scond ranking school is Haverford with 103 per thousand. The only other technical school listed in the firs t forty-four places is M.LT. which ranks tenth with 58 Ph.D.'s per thousand.

This means that Caltech produces s tudents who wish to go on to do g radua te work. But it means more than tha n. It means that Cal tech produces students who are Co.'lpable of doing graduate work.

A st udy has Just been conlpleted by Mr. Newton's office on the relative participation of college students in extra·curricular activities. A comparison was made between Caltech students and the students at a la rge state university located near a big city.

For the purpose of this comparison, a major activit)" was de­fined as an activ ity which affects the student body as a whole. Minol' activities are conceived as affecting sma ller sections of the student body- a class or a specia l in te rest group. Honor societies a re defined here as purely scholas tic groups; in this category there a re none of the campus honorary societies in which student activi· bes count IOl' points . Fraternities, so rotiHes ana soci~l clubs are not considered as activities.

The survey was compiled on the basis of the four year record of last yea r's graduating class as lis ted in the college annuals.

participate more eagerly. The results ca n be partia lly explained on the basis of there being more jobs to be done per student at Cal. tech . Yet this is no real objection, The men who come to Caltech ha ve more of an opportunity sure ly , bu t this is all to their good. Interviewers are a lways glad to see men with high grades w ho have also been active. And look a t Item D·5 above. Tha.t 0% cannot be expla ined away completely by that argument. Of course the la rge r school uses a much sma ller percentage of its s tuden ts in athletics, but it s till seems that now and then an engineering or science student would make a good a thlete.

The major conclusion that can be made from the above in­formation is that Caltech students have a much greater oppor­tunity. We feel tha t they use thei r opportuni ties well , both to in· crease their knowledge and to extend the range of their activities.

We invite comment.

Netters In Key Victory over Poets Stone, Nob'es Win Upset First Doubles Match, As Beavers Win 6-3

Cal tech netmen downed Whittier la.st Friday by the score of 6 to 3 on the Poets' home courts. In a match characterized by m any hard-fought sets, our bpys came through when the chips were down to win everyone of the five extra-set contests.

In ·the fea ture singles match, Tech's Sid Stone upset Claire Krueger, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. Stone displayed fine tennis in outmaneuvering his tall opponent with consistently deep cross·court drives and -------------. timely passing s hots when h1s

Frosh Tennis Win Easily 9-0

The frosh tennis team won an easy victm-y from a rather spir­itless Whittier team last Friday at Tournament Park. Rodger Baier, Tech's number one frosh player, secured. a well earned vic­tory over his opponent. All the other Tech men won easily giv­ing them a perfect score of 9·0. The Frosh team got off to a s low start, suffering an 8-1 defeat to Redlands in the first conference match. Since then the team has improved and is showing lots of spirit. Ed Welch, holding down the number two spot, is playing very well and will soon be push­ing Baier for the top posit ion. The team will travel to Pomona next week for the third and what promises to be one of the tough· est conference macthes of the season.

opponent rushed the net. After Stone piled up a 3-0 lead in the final set the outcome was no longer in doubt, as he maintained the pressure to run out the set.

Ed Alexander settled down aft· er a shaky s tart to outsteady Dave Krueger in the second sin­gles contest. Alexander appeared to strengthen as the match pro­gressed and forced his tiring ad­versary into increasingly num~ erous errors. Sizzling volleys and decisive overhead smashes were displayed .to abundance as Jack Martin downed Whittier's Clar­ence Hamilton by scores of 9-7, 7·5 in the fourth singles encount­er. To round out Tech's singles victories, Jack Poindexter used his steady back court play to ad· vantage in defeating his Whit­tier opponent by the close count of 6-3, 2-6, 6·4.

Larry Nobles teamed with Stone to upset the Poet top dou· bles duo of Claire and D a v e Krueger, 3-6, 8·6, 64. Nobles' ago gressive play combined with Stone's well.placed shots gained the victory after being behind in each of the last two sets. This match, the longest of the day,

In answer to those who claIm tha t the pact IS the wrong way to approach the Russian prob­lem, Dean McHenry said that in­creased efforts to negotiate With the Russians should be made, but this regional agreement makes it pOSSIble for the U.

The speaker expressed the be­lief that the North Atlantic Pact would help rather than hinder European recovery by providing a feeling of gl'eater security; and in dealing WIth the question of the effect of the Pact on the U. N., Dr. McHenry said that the Pact is certainly a by·pass of the U. N. organization but that present conditions make this move ne· cessary to insure peace in the world.
