Four Groups to Perform Saturday

by Peter Beckmanand Phil Massey

"Civilization is a strange thing,"said Dr. Richard Feynman Mondaynight in Beckman Auditorium. Aman who needs no introduction ­and got none - Dr. Feynman justwalked on stage and began talkingto the full (and somewhat awed)hours on (of all things) MayanHieroglyphic Writing.

The Mayans were an Amerindianpeople who reached a reasonablyhigh culture by themselves. Accor­ding to Dr. Feynman, they didn'thave the help of the Chinese,Phoenicians, Jews, or any otherpeople that various scholars hadimprobably wandering about theglobe at that time.

At it was they did pretty well.They invented all sorts of niftythings -- none of any practicalimportane. Their main hobby , inaddition to throwing virgins intowells, was consturcting monumentsto time, from which much of thecurrent understanding of their heiro­glyphics comes.

Although they never got aroundto doing Taylor expansions on thePDP-1O like a certain Dean who willremain anonymous, the Mayans didmanage to do a lot of strange thingswith numbers. They really liked thenumber 2920, but this wasn't atotally random choice. 2920 equals5x584 (the apparent period ofVenus) equals 8x365 (guess what!).Thus Venus freaks (which apparent­ly the Mayans were) had cause tocelebrate every 2920 days, which

II-S Applicants:Beware!

A draft counselor has warnedCaltech that it would be advisablefor those students who have re­cently turned eighteen and haveregistered for the draft to go to theRegistrar's office and ask that a SSSForm 109 be sent to their localboards now.

The new selective service act,presently before Congress in itsvarious forms, may make the dateon which the Form 109 was filedcritical.

The new regulations also state thatif the man refuses induction at thetransfer station he will be tried inthe area of his local board.

The second change in the draftlaw resulted from a recent SupremeCourt decision that a registrantcannot file for conscientious ob·jection after he has been ordered toreport for induction. The court heldthat the man must submit toinduction and then file '1 claim fordischarge with the Army. Thatdecision creates several problems formen who finally decide that theyare opposed to war only when facedwith the prospect of their owninduction.

Draft

by Mark PetersonIt is of the greatest importance

for you to try to deal with yourdraft status before you receive anorder to report for induction. Onceyou receive the order, you will haveonly ten days to a month to try todevelop information about a phys­ical deferment which will keep youout. Unfortunately, ten to thirtydays is usually not enough ttime.Furthermore, although in the pastthere were several ways to get moretime, recent changes make itextremely difficult to postponeyour induction so that you willhave enough time.

First, the selective service systemhas changed their regulations dealingwith transfers of induction in orderto prevent registrants from trans­ferring their trials to areas wherethere are liberal judges and in orderto prevent men from having suf­ficient time to develop informationwhich will get them deferred. Underthe old regulations, registrants couldtransfer their inductions if theyresided away from the area of theirdraft board. Such transfers wereeasy to get and created delays offrom one to two months.

No DelaysThe new regulations permit any

registrant to transfer his inductionto another area. However, he mustshow up and be willing to submit inthe other area at least three daysbefore the date on which he wasto report at the original inductionstation. Thus the new regulationseliminate the postponement and, infact, force a man to report early ifhe wishes to transfer his induction.

THE ASCIT FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE

THIS WEEK, 2 SUSPENSE THRILLERS:

It may seem odd to many toconsider enrollment in the ROTC asa form of draft alternative. How­ever, without considering personalpolitical feelings about militaryservice~per se for a moment, that isprecisely what ROTC amounts to.Who, after all, wishes to spend fouryears or more at an institution likeCaltech only to be drafted andspend two years separated fromprofessional contact in the field ofone's specialization? Certainly notme. Taking a scientific educationand then merely being draftedcheats both the draftee and thenation---neither can use the valuabletools acquired through so muchsweat and work by the student.

How many of us can reasonablyexpect to have a guaranteed tech­nical job upon attainment of anadvanced graduate degree? Or, howmany expect to manage multi­million-dollar Rand D contractswithin our first year in industry oruniversity work? Or again, howmany can boast of being paid over$500 a month to do the sameresearch for the Air Force that hewould have been. doing at Caltech,earning his degree at the same time,as one graduate of last year's ROTCprogram is now doing? Are thatmany of us in the enviable positionof being so skilled in some fieldthat the first four years aftergraduate school are going to makeus or break us absolutely? If youranswer to any of these precedingquestions was personally negative, itwould be useful to consider "draftevading" with ROTC.

The committment is four yearsof active duty. Personally I onlyknow of one instance when aCaltech science of engineering grad­uate was denied permission to deferentry into active duty so he couldattend graduate school. That is theman who is now getting a lieuten­ant's salary to do his graduate work.I got an educational delay, and I'ma biology major. The engineeringgraduates knew they had beenapproved almost immediately afterapplication. .

Active duty is now being servedby science and engineering graduatesfrom Washington, D.C. to Hawaii,with many doing their four years'

goes to Hanoi government, for notpicking better agents, with helpinghands from General James andMorgan Kousser. The U.S. Grantaward goes to Dirty Dave's office(June I is a bit early).

A perusal of a recent Saturday Los Angeles Times letters page provedboth instructive and disheartening. Some representing' the "Establishment"or the "Silent Majority" or whatever Vice President Agnew is calling themtoday, decried such actions as allowing students to honorably make upacademic work missed by involvement in political activity.

Perhaps more dismaying than what any of the letters advocated, whether"Right" or "Left," "Liberal" or "Convervative," (whatever those termsmean) is the tone common to all of them. Everyone feels threatened byeveryone else: we seem to have reached the state of maximum polarization,where everyone suspects everyone else. All of the writers started from theassumption that their particular viewpoint must be right, and allcontrodictory ideas must be wrong.

Whether advocating firing striking professors or expanding protest intothe community, whether asking massive arrest of students or bloodyrevenge on the police, the rhetoricians seem "to have lost all sense ofproportion. The problems involved simply will not yeild to simplisitcsolutions. Every action taken has potentially beneficial and potentiallymalevolent consequences; but in an atmosphere of superheated rhetoric, therationality needed to ascertain the best answers cannot prevail.

If the "Establishment" feels threatened, perhaps it is. If those who seeka differend society feel repressed, perhaps they are. However, theperformance of both groups must be rated 0, for dangerous anddestructive. Those who remain silent, whether out of fear or simpleconfusion, find themselves berated by both sides. "Take a Stand" seemsthe slogan of the times. Yet further polarization is the antithesis of anyrational resolution of differences.

As an illustration of this, consider our current position in SoutheastAsia. That the United States has the military power to impose any form ofgovernment it wishes on any given Southeast Asian country will not bedisputed greatly. But that the United States should do so remains totallyinobvious. A case can be made for immediate withdrawal; similarly, a casecan be made for continuation of American presence. And of course, aspectrum of views exists between the extremes of immediate abandonmentof Southeast Asia, and nuclear attack.

The point is that calling someone who disagrees with you a "whiteneo-fascist pig" or a "Hippie-commie pervert" brings the country no closerto any conclusion to the war. The point seems so simple and obvious, yetit seems totally ignored in most quarters.

The continued success of theAmerican Experiment depends pri­marily on the qualities of heart,mind and spirit of our youngpeople. As college graduates youhave not only the training andidealism, but the opportunity andresponsibility . to build throughfurther study or through yourchosen careers the kind of societywhich will make further generationsproud to identify with your accom­plishments.

I know that you will not fail tobecome part of a positive responseto the needs or America: a responseworthy of her resources and capaci­ties; worthy of the historic courageand the wisdom and will of herpeople. Your studies have given youthe tools to dedicate yourselves in avery special way to helping over­come some of the most difficultproblems we face; and as youbecome further involved in these

efforts, you will continue todiscover more examples of the waysin which the complexities ofmodern life make it imperative forus to work together.

The destiny of our nation is notdivided into yours and ours. Weshare it. There can be no generationgap in America. We must all keepan open mind and forthright spirit,balance the courage or our convic­tions with the courage of ouruncertainties, triumph over bigotryand prejudice and recapture theunity of purpose that has alwaysbeen our strength.

Your fresh ideas and candidapproach can be a strong deterrentto division and a valuable asset inbuilding the alliance of the genera­tions we so urgently need if we areto advance the cause we share. As Icongratulate you on this graduationday, I do so in full confidence thatyou will answer this need both inyour careers and in your daily lives.

by Paul LevinIf you were told that you had

twenty billion dollars with which toland on the moon, how would yougo about it? Today it wouldn't beas difficult a question as it was in1960 since the U.S. has alreadygone to the moon, but it is still amonumental problem. On Tuesdaynight, Dr. George E. Miller, former­ly Associate Administrator for Man­ned Space Flight for NASA, ex­plaind just what went into Apollo,the grandest engineering endeavorever attempted.

All sorts of problems can and didarise as planning progressed. Howmuch danger was there from theVan Allen belts, solar storms, andcosmic rays? Were meteoroids a realconcer? What is the lunar surfacelike? What sort of problems woulddust cause? Different measurementsyielded different results. New tech­niques had to be developed toobtain some of the answers, and themeteoroid problem required thelaunching of three satelites.

What Now?Debate raged as to the exact

manner of reaching the moon.Should one craft go all the way tothe moon and back, or should there

be a rendezvous on the way? Ifthere is a rendezvous, where shouldit take place: in earth orbit, on theway, or in moon orbit? CapeKennedy was originally designed fora rocket twice the size of theSaturn V, but the larger rocketwould have cost more than twentybillion dollars and officials didn'texactly like the idea of fifteenmillion pounds of explosives sittingon a launch pad.

Even the Saturn V has aninteresting history; "Werner vonBraun kept on saying, 'You knowthose four engines (Saturn IV) havea hole in the middle waiting to befIlled,' so we put in a fifth engine."The first Saturn V launch wentperfectly. In the second one almosteverything went wrong. The thirdSaturn V carried Apollo 8 to themoon.

It Doesn't Work!Reliability was one of the biggest

headaches of the whole project.There were some fifteen millionpiece-parts in an Apollo capsule,launch vehicle, and ground controlequipment. Any finite chance ofsuccess would require astronomicalreliabilities, so programs such aszero defects were initiated. Stillerrors cropped up. It was finally

decided to identify the criticalevents for each mission and thenhave experts predict the probabilityof success for each one. Thismethod suggested a 90% chance forsuccess and less than 1% chance ofcatastrophic failure. "Human judg­ment, when properly applied, issometimes better than statistics."

Dr. Miller stated that the futureof space exploration lies in landableand re-usuable launch vehicles. Thiscould result in savings of 90% ormore. In fact, he said, we have goneso far in phasing-out expendablevehicles such as Saturns or Apollocapsules that we've passed the pointof no return.

At the beginning of the talk, Dr.Miller had disclaimed "any abilityto discuss how aerospace systemsengineering can solve the problemsof the world." Someone laterpressed him to learn if anysociological problem would beamenable to an Apollo-like ap­proach. "The unemployment ofscientists. "

could just as easily have been namedCoffee. Whef1 asked on the TonightShow why he called the filmBananas, Allen answered, "We basedit on a quotationrom the Bible:'Thou shalt go out into thewilderness and bring with you abanana.' it comes from the book ofNumbers, you know, right after thebook of Letters."

Except for Woody, his leadinglady (Louise Lasser·"You might sayI got the part by sleeping with thedirector.") and the crew of ABCWide World of Sports, you've neverheard of anyone in the cast, butthat doesn't mean much; many ofthem (including assistant film edi­tors and members of the lightingcrew) had never been in a filmbefore. This in no way detractsfrom the quality of the film as ahilarious classsic. By all means gosee it!

Despite its tone poem form, theSaga-Drom is much more akin tothe purer second movement of thesymphony than the first movement.It is kind of a virtuoso 'forestmurmurs,' combining a forestedmusical portrait with intricate orch­estration and solo parts, including asix-part cadenza. Even with thesesections high lighting the piece, itnever forgets its forest origin endingas quietly as it began.

DoobieBrothers, by Doobie Bro­thers, Warner Brothers WS1919.

Doobie Brothers is not a over­whelming group. They play thestandard style of music found atdances and night clubs. The music isgood but not great. The album'sworth keeping if you happen to getit, but don't go out of your wayfinding it.

The children's classic Pollyannaonce misquoted Abraham Lincoln assaying that, "If you go through lifelooking for the bad in mankind,you will surely find it." A coronaryof this might be that, "If you gothrough life looking for the humorin it, you will surely find it."Woody Allen and his new filmBananas is the living proof of this.

Bananas takes a semi-serious,semi-frivolous look at the crazy,mixed-up world in which we live. Inthe space of ninety minutes itmakes light of Protestants, Catho­lics, and Jews alike.

record is the first movement of thetwo-movement symphony. Heavilyprogrammatic (which, in itself, isnot a fault), the movement attemptsto do what the first movement ofShostakovich's Seventh symphonydoes, in miniature. It is a thematicbattle between the sinister theme ofthe snare drum, with help from therest of the percussion, and amajestic, optimistic theme given tothe rest of the orchestra. Naturally,the snare drum loses.

Musically, the movement isn't asbad as the description mightsuggest, except for certain sections.The themes are well contrasted andwell colored. The moods Nielsenproduces are particularly effective.It is just that the movement isn'tepic enough for the given conflict,yet it is romantic enough to beg forroman tic cri ticism.

Nielsen, like Ives, has un­til recently been pretty muchundiscovered or ignored. Eventhrough the 1960's, many musictexts were published omitting anyreference to Nielsen or his works.Due to this exile, his works soundlike a breath of fresh pipe organwhen heard in 1971, with itsaccompanying avant-garde.

Both this symphony and thetone poem are typical of thissituation. They are both 'modern'works: it would take a lot ofimagination to conceive of thesymphony as anything else butmodern. But there is a large enoughdose of the romantic and classicaltradition in them to make theirpresent resurgence outstanding andrefreshing.

Commissioner Johnson'sMinority Report

"This public notice is anunsuccessfully·disguised effort bythe Federal Communications Com­mission to censor song lyrics thatthe majority disapproves of; it is anattempt by a group of establish·mentarians to determine what youthcan say and hear; it is anunconstitutional action by a Federalagency aimed clearly at controllingthe content of speech.

Under the guise of assuring thatlicensees know what lyrics are beingaired on their stations, the FCCtoday gives a loud and clearmessage: get those "drug lyrics" offthe air (and no telling what othersubject matter the Commissionmajority may find offensive), oryou may have trouble at licenserenewal time. The majority todayapproves a public notice which (I)singles out as "a subject of currentand pressing concern: the use oflanguage tending to promote ofdrugs such as marijuana, LSD,'speed,' etc.," (2) emphasizes theimportance of "someone in aresponsible position ... knowingthe content of the lyrics;" and (3)raises the speeter of loss of licenseunless "pattern of operation" issuch that "responsible" employeeknows the content of song lyricsplayed on broadcasting stations.

The contrived nature of thisoffensive against modern music isdemonstrated by the fact that, asthe majority itself concedes, "thelicensee's responsibility for, andduty to· exercise adequate controlover, the material presented over hisstation," is "a basic principle" ofFCC regulation; it is so basic thattoday's action is completely unnec­essary. Licensees (that is, owners ofstations) simply can'1 listen toeverything broadcast over theirstations; they have to delegateresponsibility for knowledge ofcontent to their employees; and wecan assume under existing reguli·tions that those employees do know

Continued on Page Seven

The FCC's Notice"A number of complaints re­

ceived by the Commission concer­ning the lyrics of records played onbroadcasting stations relate to asubject of current and pressingconcern% the use of languagetending to promote or glorify theuse of illegal drugs such asmarijuana, LSD, "speed,' etc. ThisNotice points up the licensee's long­established responsibilities in thisarea.

Whether a particular record de­picts the dangers of drug abuse, or,to the contrary, promotes suchillegal drug usage is a question forthe judgment of the licensee. Thethrust of this Notice is simply thatthe licensee must make that judg·ment and cannot properly follow apolicy of playing such recordswithout someone in a responsibleposition (Le., a management levelexecutive at the station) knowingthe content of the lyrics. Such apattern of operation is clearly aviolation of the basic principle ofthe licensee's responsibility for. andduty to exercise adequate controlover, the broadcast material presen­ted over his station. It raises seriousquestions as to whether continuedoperation of the station is in thepublic interest, just as in the case ofa failure to exercioe adequatecontrol over foreign-language pro­grams. (See Public Notice concer­ning Foreign Language Programsadopted March 22, 1967, FCC67-368, 9 R.R. 2d 1901.)

In short, we expect broadcastlicensees to ascertain, before broad­cast, the words or lyrics of recordedmusical or spoken selections playedon their stations. Just as in the caseof the foreign-language broadcasts,this may also entail reasonableefforts to ascertain the meaning ofwords or phrases used in the lyrics.While this duty may be delegatedby licensees to responsible em­ployees, the licensee remains fullyresponsible for its fulfillment.

Thus, here as in so many otherareas, it is a question of responsible,good faith action by the publictrustees to whom the frequency hasbeen licensed. No more, but cer­tainly no less, is called for."

Earlier this spring, the FCC madea ruling concerned with drug­oriented lyrics. This followed astatement by the head of MGMrecords that MGM would not releaseany more records with drug lyricsor drug-oriented groups. Thesedecisions have had a drastic effecton radio stations and on music ingeneral. For this reason, I present intheir entirety the FCC ruling andthe dissenting opinion of FCCcommissioner Nicholas Johnson.

Investment consultation is a"personal service The moresuccessful you are, the more you'rein demand. I'm on call 24 hours aday, seven days a week.

"My wife accused me of beingconstitutionally unable to pass by atelephone without picking it up."

Lehman Brothers is "at thecrossroads of American business;"the international and U.S. moneymarkets, commodities, equity, etc.come under their view.

We asked him about the foreigncurrency market, which seemedrelevant in light of the new dollarcrisis which had just hit theheadlines:

"Most operators try to breakeven, try to hedge. You figure thatyou1l make money on one trans­action only to lose it on another.It's not a meaningful profit source."

On things like currency runs, "bythe time the cat's out of the bag it'stoo late [to make a killing]."

In light of his overview of theeconomy, we asked Glanville whatthis portended for Techers seekingjobs:

'You won't have the extremes ofopportunity which were once avail­able: the days of 40 job offers areno more. That period is behind usnow. Still, Caltech graduates will bein demand," although some mayhave to settle for less than theymight h pe.

Why did he accept the invitationto become a trustee?

"There is nothing more they cando for a grad than make him atrustee. . It's a real opportunityto make a contribution to perpetu-­ate Caltech's excellence.

Glanville lived in Fleming Housefor about six months before movingto Arden House, which even thenwas the Master's domicile. He saidof his landlord, The Colonel, "Ienjoyed him tremendously." He wasvery calm: "I never heard him raisehis voice."

"The war with B&G was still onthen: "One senior class ripped out apatch of iceplant over one night,planted grass, and left a plaque(Gift of the Class of ...). "B&Gripped it out the next day."

We pointed out that during thewar years, the California Technearly died of apathy:

"Well, you had the navy (inthose days)--maybe it was the samething."

What else did he do forentertainment?

"I went to Scripps every chanceI got."

Th. object of his attentions, theformer Miss Nancy Ellen Hartbecame Mrs. Jim Glanville when shegraduated. They now have foursons.

In view of his personal associa­tions with Scripps, we askedGlanville what he thought of havinga girls' liberal arts college in closeproximity to Caltech:

"I think it would be a goodidea."

Glanville made money as astudent doing odd jobs:

"The GI Bill boys had nopressure to get jobs, so they wereeasy to get." He worked as a waiterin the student houses and at theAthenaeum.

After getting his MS, Glanvillewent to work in industry. Hisexperiences brought him in closerand closer contact with the busi­ness/investment end of the petro­leum industry. Eventually he moved

and Phil NechesAfter the Trustee's national

meeting and Baxter dedication lastMonday, your intrepid editors arran­ged to have a breakfast/interviewwith Jim Glanville, one of thetrustees. The interested partiesassembled in the Fleming Housedining room the next morning forabout an hour of conversation,which we are please to share withyou, gentle reader.

Born in Cooper, Texas, in 1923,Glanville got his BS from Rice inChemical Engineering in 1944. Hecame to Caltech as a grad student inthe last days of Millikan's ascen­dency, receiving an MS in 1946 andEngineer's Degree in 1948 (both inChemical Engineering).

We started by asking him howhe remembered his student days:

"The similarities are moreobvious and persuasive thanthe differences;" the complaints andthe slang haven't changed. Thestudents are "of a more indepen­dent turn of mind," he said, andseem to worry more about academ­ics.

We asked him how he remem­bered his student days:

The same bars are still onColorado Blvd., although "they'regamier now than then." ... Theyhave added a lot of grass to thecampus, "there used to be nothingbut iceplant." ... There were about600 undergrads and about an equalnumber of grad students.

"They serve liquor in the Athen­aeum now-a positive step." ... Thepresent students are younger-almostall of them were on the GI Bill.

We asked him which faCUltymembers impressed him:

Pauling was one of the stars.....Oppenheimer was there part-time.. .. And of course "Uncle BobbyMillikan." ... Dean Lacey impressedhim a great deal: "I rememberworking (on a problem) all nightcovering reams of paper-he (Lacey)would have a three-line solution."

The Master of Student Houseswas Dr. Goldsworthy, "a math

Continued from Page TwoOur action at Caltech has been different. Students, faculty,

administrators, and trustees proved that people of divergent viewpointscould still both hold a civilized conversation and find some points ofagreement. Why? Because we chose to explicate rather than to evangelize;to talk rather than to yell, we accomplished much in terms of creating anatmosphere conducive to reasoned attack on the problems of the day.

When the world re-Iearns a few simple facts, such as the fallacy ofsimplistic solutions, the uselessness of anger in solving complex problems,and that persons of different opinions from one's own can be just as right(and just as wrong), then improvement can come. But as long as peoplerevile unthinkingly, polemicize irresponsibly, replace debate withname-calling, and bellicosely insist that there is only one "right way"(theirs), the present situation will inevitably continue to worsen.

what is being played. We can alsoassume that licensees are well awareof the Commission's power toprohibit material that falls withinstatutory prohibitions and beyondconstitutional protection. Why,then, this focus on "languagestrongly suggestive of, or tending toglorify, the illegal use of drugs ... ". whatever that means-unless theintention is in fact to censor bythreat what cannot be constitution­ally prohibited?

Moreover, there is a seriousquestion as to whether the majorityis in fact really as concerned aboutdrug abuse as it is in striking outblindly at a form of music which issymbolic of a culture which themajority apparently fears-in partbecause it totally fails to compre­hend it. If the majority were in factconcerned about drug abuse, theysurely would not choose to ignoresong lyrics "strongly suggestive of,and tending to glorify" the use ofalcohol, which is the number onedrug abuse prbblem in the country.

It is common knowledge thatdrunken drivers kill each year nearlyas many Americans as have beenkilled during the entire history ofthe war in Southeast Asia. There aremore alcoholics in San Franciscoalone than there are narcoticsaddicts in the entire country.Kenneth Eaton, Deputy Director ofthe Division of Alcohol Abuse andAlcoholism at the National Instituteof Mental Health, recently declared:"In relative terms, the physicalconsequences of heavy drinking arefar larger and more serious thanthose of heroin use;" he added thatthe likelihood of death in with­drawal from heroin addiction.(TheWashington Post,. Feb. 7, 1971,p.A7, col. 1.) Dr. Robert L.Dupont, Director of the Washing­ton, D.C. Narcotics TreatmentAgency, agrees "absolutely" withEaton:

It's non-controversial. Heroin as adrug is really quite benign comparedto alcohol, which is a poison. Wehave two really serious drug pro­blems in Washington, heroin andalcohol.(Id.)

If the Commission majority werereally interested in doing somethingabout the drug problems in thiscountry, why would they ignoresongs like "Day Drinking':You know we just stopped in forone short snort Hey we are out ona binge Hey we got no troubles justdoing our number Day drinkingagain Day drinking again I'mstarvin' to death We've been drink­ing' since ten Food is fattening Ah,but then, booze is happening Daydrinking again (T.T. Hall, "DayDrinking" (1970, Newkeys Music,Inc.), Song Hits, March 1971, p. 43)or "California Grapevine":. Well I'm

Joy, "California Grape­vine" (1970, Blue Book Music),Song Hits, February 19171, p.43)or countless other similar lyrics?

And why has the Commissionchosen to focus on record lyrics andyet ignore commercials which uselanguage "tending to glorify the useof drugs generally"? In askingCongress for a study of the effectson the nations's youth of nearly$300 million worth of annual drugadvertising on television, SenatorFrank Moss of Utah has said: Thedrug culture finds its fullest flower­ing in the portrait of Americansociety which can be pieced to­gether out of hundreds of thousandsof advertisements and commercials.It is advertising which mounts sographically the message that pillsturn rain to sunshine, gloom to joy,depression to euphoria, solve pro­blems, dispel doubt. Not just pills,cigarette and cigar ads; soft drink,coffee, tea and beer ads-all portraythe key to happiness as things toswallow, inhale, chew, drink andeat.(Year of Challenge, Year ofCrisis, The duPont Columbia Univer­sity Survey of Broadcast Journalism1969-1970, at 88.)

How can anyone possibly justifythe FCC's failure to examine theimpact of commercials such as thefollowing on television: (Music)Announcer: Leave your feding oftension behind and step into a quietworld. You'll feel calmer, morerelaxed with Quiet World. The newmodern calmative. Each tablet con­tains a special calming ingredientplus a tension reliever to let youfeel relaxed. More peaceful. So leaveyour feeling of tension behind withQuiet World. The new moderncalmative. (Shown on "To Tell TheTruch," WCBS-TV, New York, Sept.9, 1968,3:25 p.m.)

This commercial was broadcastover WCBS-TV in New York at3:25 p.m. to an audience made upprimarily of mothers and children.Why do the majority choose toignore these gray flannel pushers?(It cannot be argued that theillegality of the drugs is the reasonbehind the majority's action, sincethe majority says nothing at allabout lyrics extolling other illegalactivities, such as cohabitation.)

The answer to these questions issimple: the exclusive concern withsong lyrics is in reality an effort toharass the youth culture, a crudeattempt to suppress the anti-estab­lishment music of the countercul­ture and the "movement. '"

It is a thinly veiled politicalmove. This Administration has, forreasons best known to the Presi­dent, chosen to divert the Americanpeople's attention to "the drugmenace," and away from problemslike: the growing Southeast Asianwar, racial prejudice, inflation,unemployment, hunger, poverty,education, growing urban blight,and so forth. When the broadcasterssupport this effort they are taking apolitical stance. Especially is this sowhen they, simultaneously, keep offthe air contrary political views.(See,Fairness Doctrine Ruling, 25 FCC2d 242,249 (1970); N. Johnson,"Public Channels and Private Cen­sors," The Nation (March 23, 1970)p. 329; N. Johnson, '"The WastelandRevisted," Playboy (Dec. 1970) p.229; N. Johnson, How to Talk Backto Your Television Set 71 (1970).When we encourage this trend, weare taking equally political action.

The majority's interest in thewhole song lyrics issue was substan­tially increased by the DefenseDepartment's Drug Briefing, whichwas originally prepared for abriefing of a radio and recordexecutives under the Presiden'sauspices at the White House. It isnot surprising that the NixonAdministration and the DefenseDepartment, two primary targets ofthe youth culture, should try tostrike back. The fact is that manyof the song lyrics singled out asobjectionable by the Defense Depar­tment have nothing whatsoever todo with drug use, but relate insteadto social commentary. Thus, theDefense Department spokesmensingled out a song by the Doorswhich says, "War is out-peace is thenew thing;" and another whichsays: Itemize the things you covetAs you squander through your lifeBigger cars, bigger houses, Terminsurance for your wife ... (Trans­cript of White House Radio Pro·ducers Briefing, Aug. 31, 1970,presented in the same form to theFCC, Dec. 9, 1970, p. 4 and lyricsof appendix, p. I)

Is anything that attacks thevalues of corporate American or themilitary- industrial-complex an in­citement to drugs?

Beyond the hypocrisy of thisblind attach on one aspect of youthculture, this action is objectionablebecause it ignores the SupremeCourt's rulings that the FirstAmendment protects speech whichhas any socially redeeming impor­tance.

The courts have frequently in­validated licensing schemes which

give the licensing agency suchunbridled discretion, or which areso broad, that a licensee is deterredfrom engaging in activity protectedby the First Amendment. Thus, inWeiman v. Updegraf, 344 U.S. 183,195 (1952), a case involving loyaltyoaths demanded of prospectiveteachers, the Supreme Court con­demned the provision, saying: "Ithas an unmistakable tendency tochill that free play of spirit whichall teachers ought especially tocultivate and practice; it makes forcaution and timidity in theirassociations by potential teachers."

The Commission's action todaywill have a similarly chilling effecton the free spirit of our songwriters,because of the caution and timidityin their associations by potential

teachers. "The Commission's action today

will have a similarly chilling effecton the free spirit of our songwriters,because of the caution and timiditywhich today's action will produceamong licensees. It will have asimilar effect on the record indus­try, because of the relationshipbetween the radio play of a recordand its economic success. (Andwhere, after all, do we get authorityto regulate that industry by puttingpressure on the move to require theprinting of lyrics on dust jackets?)As Mr. Justice Black has written:

(A) statute broad enough tosupport infringement of speech ...necessarily leaves all persons toguess just what the law really meansto cover, and fear of a wrong guessinevitably leads people to forego thevery rights the Constitution soughtto protect above all others.

Barenblatt v. United States, 360U.S. 109, 137 (1959) (dissentingopinion). This danger, inherent inthe overbroad and necessarily vagueaction which the Commission takestoday, is compounded when itinvolves the natural sensitivity ofthose whose very existence dependson the licensing power of thecensoring agency.

We are more dependent upon thecreative people in our society thanwe have ever fully comprehended.'"Legalize Freedom" says the latestbumper sticker. Full human flower­ing requires the opportunity toknow, and express creativity, one'smost honest- as-possible self.Governments are instituted amongmen-according to our Declaration ofIndependence-to promote 'life, li­berty, and the pursuit of happi­ness." We seem to have driftedquite away from that goal. Not onlydo we need creative freedom to

They are out aheadof our caravan, finding the moun­tain passes and the rivers. They pickup the new vibrations a decade ormore before the rest of us, and tryto tell us what's about to happen tous as a people-in the form ofpainting, theater, novels, and inmusic. In order to function at all,they have to function free. Whenwe start the process of Kafkaesqueinstitutional interference with thatfreedom-whether by Big Business ofBig Government-we are encouraging,rather than preventing, the declineand fall of the American Empire: itsview of the future, and thefulfillment of its people.

Simply by announcing its con­cern with the content of song lyricsas they relate to drugs, theCommission is effectively censoringprotected speech. The breadth ofthe regulation is aggravated by thevagueness of the standard used­"tending to glorify." What does thatmean? It could include "Up, Upand Away" sung by the MormonTabernacle Choir. Some so-called"drug lyrics' are clearly discour­aging the use of drugs. Others, whileless clear, can most reasonably beread to be opposing drug usage.Many informed people even arguethat the programs and public servicespots designed to discourage drugusage are often as likely to have theopposite effect. How is the poorlicensee to know which lyrics are"tending to glorify"? Will he riskhis license over such an in terpre­tation?

In Burstyn v. Wilson, 343 U.S.495 (1952), a statute which autho­rized denial of a license if thelicensor concluded that the fIlmreviewed was "sacrilegious" washeld by the Supreme Court to be anunconstitutionally overbroad dele­gation of discretion.

Several of the songs are quitesoothing and tend to relax one intoa total torpor. This is accomplishedby the brass creation of soft mellowtone, the precussion forging of arestful rhythm, the guitars givingthe light carefree atmosphere. Thefinishing touch is added by softrefreshing voices.

'Happy Song' is very similar toone of the Rascals most famoussongs, but I just can not rememberwhich one. In conclusion I can justsay it's a ggggreat album, even if thelast side skipped like crazy.

by Philip MasseyAs some of the more observent

of you may have noticed by now,there are things other than peoplein the new Baxter pond.

The primary inhabients of thepond are Japanese Koi Karp. Thereare 105 (count 'em) of the friendlylittle fellows, and they cost about$50 each.

According to Art Brown ofPhysical Plant, the person respon­sible for turnign the plain old waterpond into a natural pond filled withlittle fishes and assorted flora, thefish are currently spawning. Thiscauses the water to be stirred upand accounts for the very poorvisability.

There are quite a few plants inthe pond as well. In addition to thewater hyacinth there are a numberof expensive tropical water lillies.

CALCULATOR ROOMIS NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!

At its May 15 meeting theASCIT BOD decided not to try toreactivate the Calculator Roomunder Blacker which has been usedfor other activities this year. Thelock has been changed, and theoutstanding keys to what was theCalculator Room lock are, essential­Iy, "keys to nowhere."

Collectively, the CalculatorRoom keys represent a substantialinvestment which could be recover­ed for ASCIT by selling the keysback to Physical Plant. Please returnCalculator Room keys to LouiseHood in Winnett.

one major slip-up. It seems that allof the Top-40 radio stations beganplaying a song by Brewer andShipley entitled 'One Toke OverThe Line." Several weeks later,those stations realized that a 'toke"was an inhalation of marijuanasmoke and that the song was abouta person "Sitting' downtown in arailway station,/One toke over theline." In other words, just slightlystoned on grass or somethingsimilar.

As soon as the lyrics becamewidely known, one of the localradio stations smoothly stated thatthe song was all right, since it wasobviously anti-drug. The obviousnessescapes me at the moment.

In addition, Commissioner J ohn­son's comment about songs extol­ling other illegal activities is interes­ting in the light of subsequent songlyrics. For example, there is'Timothy," a particularly obnoxi­ous song about murder and can­nibalism in a mine shaft. 'BrownSugar," by the Stones, also hassome interesting verses. "I WantYour Body," by Tin House istotally out of the question.

In any case, the ruling exists, andstations not following it may be introuble when their licenses come upfor rene I was under the impres­sion that music is considered to bea reflection of the society thatcreates it. If that is the case, theFCC's action si comparable totrying to destroy an object bypainting over its reflection.

playing of certain song lyrics couldthreaten license renewals.

Justice Brennan summarized theSupreme Court's concern with

. actions which have a "chillingeffect" on the exercising of rightsprotected by the First Amendment:To give these freedoms the neces­sary "breathing space to survive,"... (we) have molded both substan­tive rights and procedural remediesin the face of varied conflictinginterests to conform to our over­riding duty to insulate all indivi­duals from the chilling effect" uponexercise of First Amendment free­doms generated by vagueness, over­breadth and unbridled discretion tolimit their exercise.

Walker v. City of Birmingham,388 U.S. 307, 344-45 (I 967)(dissenting opinion) (emphasisadded). This is a classic case ofFederal agency action which isbound to have a "chilling effect" onthe exercise of First Amendmentrights.

I hope the recording and broad­casting industrie s will have thecourage and commitment to res­pond to this brazen attach uponthem with all the enthusiasm it callsfor. Given the power of thisCommission, I am afraid they maynot.

For all these reasons, I dissent."Since the ruling was made, radio

man does accept induction and thenfiles for a C.O. discharge, hisrequest will take up to six monthsto be considered, during which timehe is a member of and supportingthe work of the Army.

Still No DelayThe ruling also eliminates the

second way registrants were able topostpone their induction. Whereaspreviously filing a C.O. claimpostponed a registrant's inductionfrom one to two months, now filingsuch claim will create no post­ponement if the induction order hasalready been mailed.

If you do receive an inductionorder you may still have enoughtime to get a postponement for amedical re-examination, if you actquickly. Get a letter from a doctorindicating that you have a medicalcondition which may serve as thebasis for a physical deferment. Ifyou can get the doctor's letter to aU.S. Senator or Congressman atleast ten days before the date ofyour induction you will not bedrafted on that date, but rather youwill be given a complete medicalre-examination. It is important toget all available medical informationassembled so that you can bring itto the re-examination, since infor­mation obtained later may be oflittle use.

lf It's a HardshipPerhaps the only other basis for

obtaining a postponement or cancel­ation of your induction order is ifyou have the basis for a hardshipclaim. Because there are so fewopportunities open after you havereceived an induction order, youshould try to deal with the draftbefore you receive such an order.

Not content with this, theMayans counted in fivsies and sixiesof moons which worked into agrand and glorious 11960 day cyclewhich was 405 lunar months and 69lunar eclipses. This really thrilledeveryone. (I guess you gotta dosomething when you don't gotT.V.)

Needless to say, the Mayancivilization collapsed to pieces alongwith those scholars who tried todecipher this mess several hundredyears later. All of which goes toprove that even trying to listen tothis "confuses the hell out of you."

With a chance likethis, though, there .will always bepersons who will choose suchalternatives as drinking a gallon ofaxle grease before their physicals orcarrying a purse into the Armypsychiatrist's office. It seems to methat two years of undergraduateschool getting paid a stipend eachmonth, several years of graduateschool, and four years as an officerat some Air Force or civilianlaboratory is a far more satisfying,and personally more honorable,alternative.

Dear Sirs:Two days ago as I write this

letter I checked out for Xeroxingvol. 35 of the Cold Spring HarborSymp. Quant. BioI. (I970). On thespecial request of the librarian, Ireturned the volume within twentyminutes after I checked it out.However, due to the fact that thelibrarian did not cross out my namefrom the sign-out sheets, andbecause users of the volume did notfind the volume on the shelves, Ihave received two phone calls andhave been approached by threepersons who more or less demandedthat I produce the volume. One ofthese persons advised me of apossible slight degree of bodilydestruction if I didn't find it forhim.

Volume 35 is not to be found onthe shelves; the biology librariankeeps it in her desk. If anyonewants it, he should ask her for it,not me.
