An Editorial

(Jrlt/uHf, Housing The hou sin g fo r graduate students at the Insti tute is a dis·

grace. There is nothing for graduates comparable to the Student Houses for under-gradua tes. .

Mos t otT-campus rooms are expens ive and not too satis factory as places to s tudy. The old dorm is almost ready to burn down. The Atheneaum balcony is inconvenient if the s tudent would care to keep his belongings in something other than a small locker.

Neither do graduate studen ts ha ve much socia.l life. These men, who form a very large portion of the students at Tech, have nothing at all except the Inter-Nations Club to satisfy their social needs.

Las t week, we r eceived news of a home up in Altadena which is standing vacant. The house stands on five acres of ground and has fifteen bedrooms in the house itself. There are more bedrooms in what was once the servant's quarters. In aJI, there is room for about th irty·five stuclents to live.

This home is idea l for entertainment purposes, s ince it has a swimming pool, a formal garden, and main rooms which would make an excellen t place to hold a dance.

Last Saturday, Rube Mett ler and myself were shown through this house. We came to the conclusion tha t it would make ideal living quarters for graduate s tudents. It would offer fine hous ing to about thi rty·five studen ts and also give the g rads an oppor· tunity to set up some kind o[ social progra m.

T he re is a poss ibiJity of this home being given to the Institute. This depends mainly on whether or not the Insti tu te could use the house and whether or not the Institute would be willing to take over the responsibility for it.

Th upkeep of the property would not be cheap, but the ex· penses could be alleviated somewhat by a well planned social pro· gram. The graduate students would be willing to pay a reasonable s um to enjoy pa rties 01' dances in such bea.uti[ul surroundings.

The arrangements for graduate students living there would be much like those for members of a fraternity house. Room and board would probably no t be cheap, but under proper management should not be too much more than the under·gradua tes living in the Student Houses are paying.

Any graduate studen t who desires more information about this house mav' see either Rube Mettler in Ricketts or myself in room 73 Ricketts . We will be glad to tell you all we know about the place, and to take you r name in case you might like to live there. A reserva tion Ji s t h<lS already been started in the hopes that s tu· dellls ca n s tar t Jiving there soon.

I t is time the Institu te took some in terest in the living condi· tions of the unmarried graduate students.

Oxy Exchange Assembly Hailed as Huge Success

The Oxy exch3!nge assembly last Friday proved to be a very successful maneuver and pro· vided a new vein of entertain­ment. The Tiger show with John Ingle as M.C. managed to pack Cu lbertson Ha ll with an enthus· iastic audience who evidently en· joyed it very much. Pat ' Bean and Bill DIvis gave us some fine songs both solo and duet includ­ing a med ly from "Rosemarie". Marc May and Margaret Lynn presented some routines from a modern dance program, and the finale featured a group in a dane· ing interpretation of "The Pea· nu t Vender." Altogether it was a swell program, and a fine .cast.

Oxy P leased The Oxy s tudents were vel' y

pleased with our satire on "A Night at Tech" given at their Thursday <tssembly. Our illus tri·

Millikans to he Fireside Hosts

One of the best Y firesides of the year is promised this coming Sunday at the home of Dr. and Mrs. Robert A. Millikan. Judg· ing by the many fine gatherings Techmen have had at the Milli· kans in P<lst years, this s hould be a very enjoyable evening for a ll those at tending.

Dr. and Mrs. Peter Kyl'0pou­los entertained an even dozen Techmen at their home in South Pasadena last Sunday evening and in the opinion of ma.ny Fire­s ide "Regulars," it was one of the most successful get logethers of the year.

Following the exchange of hai r·razing gliding experiences between Drury and Dr. Kyropou­los, and a discllss ion on odd·ball automobiles , Mrs. I<yropoulos served hot spiced tea, the recipe [or which many of the boys quickly committed to memory.

Alumni Lecture Series Features Arthur Whistler

By Dick King

It's into the fa r turn [or the Alumni·Beaver lectures. Next week's seminar marks the ninth pole in the series o[ thirteen. A s light amount of confus ion this week means that the next ta lk, on Design Engineering, will be a week e.arly, with a s huffling of the schedule res ulting. But ear· ly or not, the subject will be given a high quality trea tment by another of the high caliber s peakers obtained by the alumni, Mr. Arthur M. Whistler, Assist· ant Chief Process Engineer for }<'Iuor Corporation.

Mr. Whistler is another [or· mer Techman, g raduating with a B.S. in Physics and Engineer· ing in 1922. He spent the first [our years o[ his working career at Standard Oil of California, and then went to work for C. F . Braun in Alhambra, as a process engineer. In 1941 he took the pOSition of Chief Engineer, and became adviser for special pl'Ob· lems in 1944. He started his present job just last year.

"T" (or Throop Mr. "VhistIE~r entered Tech in

1919 before it was Tech, that is when it was Throop Institute. At that time the only buildings were Throop Hall, a part of Gates, and the old Dormitory. When Dr. Millikan took over, he explained that the school needed a new and bigger name [or the expanding enterprise. However, the s tudents were not in favor of this idea, chiefly because of their pride in the large "'1''' for Throop on the mountain behind Pasa­dena.. However, Dr. Millika n ex· plained that the main building could be called Throop H all, and the "T" could stand for Tech. The student body agreed with this idea.

As usual the lecture will be in Dabney Hall o[ the Humanities Lounge, at 4:30 p.m.

Survey Results at Placement Office

Results o[ a recent s urvey of 173 well·known business and in­dustrial concerns in the United States has been made available to the Placement Service. This survey was conducted by Frank S. Endicott, Director of P lace­ment, Northwestern University. The repo.~t particularly outlines a comparison of the employment last year and the expected em· ployment this year of inexperi· enced college men in the field of engineering. Those who are in· terested in securing a job -upon completion of their college work this year will be interested in the survey from the standpoint of probable job opportunities.

Decrease Those companies who are em­

ploying engineers employed 3194 inexperienced men last year and expect to employ 2889 this year, showing a slight decrease. From the report it appears that ap· prOXimately the same number of college visits will be made by the companiees this year as last. 82 companies indicated that they will visit the same number of colleges this year, 40 indicated that they will visit more schools this coming year, and 40 indicat· ed that they will visit fewer schools this year.

Earnings The report on average starting

salaries are interest ing. In en­gineering the a verage starting sa lary of the companies I'eport­ing was $261.00 covering a r ange from $200 to $335. This was based on the returns from 113 companies. The average earn­ingfi for the first year of employ· ment was 3285 dollars with a range of 2700 to 4100.

Judging The report a lso considers the

means that were used by differ· ent companies in judging the qualities of prospective employ­ees during interviews. Typical questions that are asked during interviews are outUned.

Tech Debate Tourne~ Closes; Banquet and Dance Featured --------- -----------. Wits , words, a nd logic held sway at Dabney Ha ll las t Friday and

Saturda,y, as 192 debaters from 23 West Coast schools had their day at the Second Annual Caltech Invitational Debate Tournamen t. DuBridge Talks

on Federal Aid By Ull'ich l\lertcn

"F ederal Aid to Education" was not only the subject of Cal­tech's debate tournament I a s t week, but also the topic of a talk gi ven by Dr. L. A. DuB ridge a t the debater's banquet in the Athenaeum last Friday. After breaking the whole problem down into four s ubdivisions, Dr. DuBridge skipped over the most familia l' phase of the subject , fed­era l aid to public schools, an d went immediately into a discus· sion of the other three; a id to universities , ·federal scholarships, and payment for research proj­ects.

First POint Discussing the first of these

three, he pointed out that fed­eral a id tu universities was need· cd last, if at all, by state s upport· ed colleges, but that only these would benefit from such a pro· gram, s ince the freedom of the private universities is too pre· cious to be sold for financial a id.

Praise Dr. DuB ridge praised the idea

o[ scholal'ships to remove the economic banier in the way of many qualified students, but pointed out that the proposed federal scholarships are no great help to the universities (student fees pay for only 28 percent of a s tudent's education at Cal tech), and that they do not defray the student's living expenses, nor do they make up for lost wages, and these last two factors in the eco­nomic barrier must not be over­looked.

Research Aid Federal payment for research

projects is no pot o[ gold, said the insti tute's president, but they do help univers ities do some specified research which they would like to attempt any· way. The main thing he empha· sized in this connection was that such aid is payment for service rendered, not aid to education.

Sees No Help In short, Dr. DuB ridge looked

forward to no real help from the federal government to schools like Tech.

Streamers Decorate At Fleming Dance

The Ma rdi Gras Formal Dance given by Fleming House las t Fri­day night was distinguished by its cordial atmosphere. The mu· s ic of George Martin was spirit· ed a nd original, and their atti­tude quickly prevacled the bal· loon- and streamer·bedecked lounge.

Novelty Numbers Besides the lively novelty num­

bers provided by the band, en· terta inment ca me from the tal· ented fingers of Al Eschner and J "",k (Bob) Scantlin. Their uke· le le interpretations of "Shanty in Old Shantytown" and "H e a r t aches" were enthus ias tically reo ceived. An extraordinary talent for mass whistling was shown by the Fleming men and their dates during these selections.

Explosions For the last hour or so the roo

man tic atmosphere was occasion· oIly interrupted by a sudden ex· plosive sound. This phenomenon was produced by accidental defla· tion of a Schmoo·shaped balloon, a flock of which were released from the ceiling as watches reached the witching hour.

Popenoe Gives Second Lecture

~ er , and also a post-debate dance held [i'l'iday evening at Throop Club.

Another full house greeted Dr. Paul Popenoe las t Monday night to hea r the second Y sex lecture of the year. As an introduction to his s ubject, "The Psychology of Sex", Dr. Popenoe s ummarized the evolution of sex from simple cell division to modern monog­amy. He s ugges ted that s uch "new'! ideas in sex relations as "fr ee love", are chiefly throw· backs to early stages, rather than advances in evolutionary devel· opment.

Criteria

. Here are five basic criteria, as glven by Dr. Popenoe, upon which to base an answer to the question, "Can we be happily married? " 1) Does the biological mating impulse exist? 2) Is our economic rela.tions hip satisfac· tory ? 3) Do, we feel real tender· ness and a tfection toward one an· other? 4) Is there a non·sexual companions h ip between us? and 5) Is there a mutua l interest in a home a nd children? According to the s peaker, if the five an· swe rs a re a ll "Yes", then get mar ried, noth ing ca n s top you. Otherwise, don't.

Different Dr. Popenoe emphasized that

the psychologies of the two sex· es are completely different, and gave the following example:

A man will pay two dolla,rs for a one dollar item he really wants; a woman will pay one dollar for a two dollar item s he really doesn't want.

Development A diScussion of the develop·

m ent of the individual 's love life s howed how a child may get stalled at an early stage of de· velopment such as self love or mother fixation. The effect of the latter was pOinted out by the case of the girl who told her mother, HI can't marry Jim, he doesn't believe there's a HelL"

"Oh, go ahead," said her moth· er, "the two of us can show him there is."

Questions The session closed with a num­

ber of revealing questions, but some guy in the front row s tumped the expert with, " Is the male seahorse the aggressor?"

Stern's Sixth Book Published in Paris

Dr. Alfred Stern, of the Hu· ma.nities Depar tment, announced this week that he has received from his publishers the first cop· ies of his latest book, HPhiioso­phle dn Rh'c et des Pleul-s" (Phi· losophy of Laughter and Tears). This is Dr. Stern's s ixth book, and is published in Paris by the PI'esses Universit.:u1es de France.

Dr. Stern, who was recently elected to Pi Epsilon Theta, han· ora ry fraternity of the School of Philosophy at USC, has previ· ously written fi ve other books on philosophy-in French, German, and Spanish, as well as a great number of articles in these lan­guages and in English.

Beavers Seek Revenge Over Chapman Five

On Satu rday night the Beavers will be looking for revenge when they face the Chapman five. It was this club which knocked the Beavers out of the consolation finals during the Redlands tour· nament last December.

Beavers Nipped Welch's Tally In Closing Seconds Gives Pomona 42-40 Victory

Ollr hardwood men really lost a heartbreaker to Pomona last Tuesday evening on the PCC COUl'\. Afte r the Frosh held off a Sage hen ra lly in the last few minutes to pull out 36-35, the Varsity just couldn't hang on. With one minute to go Pomona tied the score at 40 apiece, and then Wels h dropped in the ,=============.$clincher wi lh only 15 seconds to

\Ve have finally come into our own as regards snow in the local mountains. With t he storm of the last few weeks on top of the good base that was deposited over the Chris tmas holidays we ha ve enough snow to las t some time up at Snow Valley. For some time all of the slopes were quite icy. but with the la te storm conditions should be bet ter now.

Chapman has a well rounded, aggressive ball club and have al­ways been the downfall of the usually favored Engineers. They feature a fast break and plenty of set s hot skill, the factor which hur t Tech so much in their last meeting.

Bow en High Man

Starting for the Beavers will be captain and high scorer Paul Saltman. The "Goon" has bee n averaging about fifteen points per game this season and is a real threat. At forwards will be Ted Bowen and Tex Bass. Both these boys have been a major fac tor in controlling the b a c k ­boards and getting tip·ins. At guards Bill Cox and Al Sereno will fill out the Engineer five.

The I n terhouse tennis season got under way Tuesday after a week's postponement because of, if you'll pardon the expression, snow. Fleming tangled with Ricketts and Dabney took on Throop in the opening matches.

Hot Compctition

Last Satu rday night on the new PCC hardwood OccidentaJ proved La have 'a little too much on the ball for the Beaver lads, and the Eagle Rocks certainly had eagle eyes as they ran up a 63 to 41 score.

The magnitude of the drive displayed by the locals can be readily seen by the 23 fouls com­

Ted Bowen played his out· standing game thus far this sea­son to hand in the best perform­ance on the fioor. He took high point honors with 14 counters and played a sterling defensive game. His defense in the last half was really noteworthy as he picked up his fourth personal foul just afte r the second half ended.

Defensive P Jay The game started with defen­

sive play only, the score 5 to 3 Skiing was very fine at Snow

The game is a t Chapman at 8:30. Also Ed Preisler and his Frosh will be in the opener; tip­off 7:00.

Although the season got a slow start, it can't keep up that p~e for long. As last year's tennis was ins trumental in changing the delicate Dabney-Fleming point balance in the trophy race, this year's competition should be much hotter, weather permitting.

The game was not nearly as one-sided as the score might in· dicate. Midway in the second half they were only in front by three pOin ts, 36 to 33. Shortly after that the toll was 43 to 35 in favor of Oxy, at which pOint the Orange and White dis inte· grated completely until the end of the game. Right now we have to s ingle out Gene Haas of the Tigers as the boy who had the most to do with our defeat. This fast forward was top man for the evening with 18 points as he dom inateti the offensive play as well as playing a fine defensive game. He certainly had his eye as he pushed one after another through the hoop.
