A primary concern in Turk­ey's foreign policy is the Cyprussituation, where she has op­posed Greek demands for inde­pendence from Britain. Al­though Britain has blocked thisissue from discussion in the Uni­ted Nations, it is on the agendaat Corvallis, and Techmen willprepare for a defense of theTurks on Cyprus.

In preparation for these ora­torical battles, the Turkish de­legation will meet occasionallyto study the current problems,Turkish policy, and proceduresin the Morlel UN. At least oneof these meetings will be heldwith Richard Robinson, AFUSrepresentative recently returnedfrom Turkey.

Students interested in parti­cipating should contact delega­tion chairman Tom Bergemanor assistant chairman Dick Kirkthis week, and plan to attendthe Board of Directors' meetingnext Monday at 7:30 p.m. in· theBoard room in lower Fleming.

In response to numerous stu­dent inquiries, the mechanicalengineering department has an­nounced that the Mobilgas Eco­nomy Run will fall this yearduring spring vacation week, onMarch 19-24. Further announce­ments and sign-ups will comelater this term.

From 70 to 100 West Coast col­leges participate, each repres­enting a country of the UnitedNations--or, in some cases, non·members, like East and WestGermany. These 500 students de­bate in groups such as themodel UNESCO, the model Se­curity Council, and the ModelPolitical and Security Commit­tee. The final meetings arethose of the General Assembly.A banquet the last evening con­cludes the program.

In the committee debates, Cal·tech delegates will attempt tofollow Turkish policy. As theleader of the MEATO pact na­tions, Turkey should be in an in­fluental position in the Araband west-Asian blocs. She isespecially interesting as a coun­try recently westernized butnOw carrying on capitalism withdifficulty. As an anti-communistnation bordering on Russia andnear the Near East battle­grounds, Turkey is now in thehottest area of the world.

A delegation of Caltech menwill appear as neophyte Turk­ish diplomats this coming April4-7 at the Model United Nationsat Corvallis, Oregon. The mostlikely young Turks will be se­lected by the ASCIT Board ofDirectors next Monday evening.

Caltech, which representedthe Ukrainian SSR last year atSan Francisco, was assignedTurkey by the host school, Ore­gon State, from a list of re­quests.

Since the conference will lastfour days, delegates will be ab­sent from Tech a little less thana week during the second weekof the third term. Financial as­sistance from the Institute andfrom ASCIT will be availablealthough some funds must b~furnished by participants. Planscall for transportation by railand lodging in OSC fraternityhouses.

The Model United Nationsnow in its sixth year, is held o~the Pacific c.oast each spring.

Dr. Fritz Went, head of Cal·tech's Earhart Plant ResearchLaboratory, will deliver thisweek's Friday Evening Demon­stration Lecture at 7:30 in 201Bridge, on the subject "Air Pol­lution and Smog-a World-WideProblem."

Dr. Went will illustrate histalk with slides showing air pol·lution in other parts of theworld, and offering evidencethat smog, as we know it inthis area, exists also, in somedegree, in almost all large citiesthroughout the world. "For thisreason," said Dr. Went, "thework in research being donehere is doubly important for itis helpful not only here, buteverywhere."

The Earhart Ll1'boratory wasdesigned for studies of the effectof climate on plant growth. Mostcomplete of its kind, the labor­atory offers 46 different condi­tions of temperature, light andhumidity and has special equip­ment for studying the effects ofrain, wind and different gases.

A native of the Netherlands,Professor Went received hisdoctor's degree from the Uni­versity of Utrecht. He spent sev­eral years in Java as botanistat the famous Botanical Gar­dens before coming to Caltechin 1933.

Vice Presidentts messageThe editors of the California Tech last week urged that all of

us be a little more careful to govern our actions by what theytermed "the unwritten honor code." I would like to second thissuggestion, and give you a few statistics from the records of theBoard of Control which are highly revealing.

It is essential that the student body be informed of the func­tions of the Board of Control, yet it is equally essential that indi­viduals involved in violations of the Honor System be protected.As a result, meetings of the Board of Control are held in secret,and students naturally ask if the Board of Control ever meets.

Ninety-two cases in 26 yearsDuring the past 26 years (1930-1955), the Board of Control has

recommended corrective action in the case of 92 individuals, anaverage of three to four per year. Sixty-one of these cases havedealt with cheating on exams; 24 with copying papers, themes, labreports, and homework (plagiarism); and four with theft. Manyhours have been spent per case; recommendations have been wellthought out, and often severe. Plagiarism has been the most seriousproblem in recent years.

These figures clearly indicate that the Board of Control func·tions. We have an operational Honor System. They also showthat some of us have chosen to take advantage of the freedom whichthe Honor System affords. If each and everyone of us wouldmake an effort to be informed and then put personal honor first,no enforcement machinery would be necessary, no violations wouldoccur, and the Board of Control would be out of a job. This isour goal.

I would urge, then, that every member of the student bodybecome more aware, consciously and subconsciously, of the re­sponsibility which is his. The Honor System has worked well inthe past-we can make it work better in the future.

Hell, you couldn't park 100 bi·cycles in there without tearingout those trees. But after alLa parking place is a parkingplace.

Their outlook ontothe raggedy weed.and-iceplantpatches behind B rid g e andArms wil now be unobstructedby pine trees and such non­sense.

I don't mean to criticize theBoard of Trustees, who madethis decision. After all Dr. Du·Bridge is an honorable man'they are all honorable men:Probably their action was in thebest interests of Caltech, too, Iguess. I'm just bemoaning theaccelerating trend toward can.verting our little campus froma kinda nice little campus intoa smear of concrete.

As I remarked a year ago in.B~arrago, C a I t e c h 's plannershave discovered the great truthof scientific campus design: farmore important than estheticconsiderations are the practicalproblems of efficiency, low up.keep, and parking space.

Why should Caltech men ap­preciate the beauty of natureanyway? After all, they've hadCh 1 and Ph 1. They know thatbeauty is a habit pattern, thatthe color of other college cam­puses is not really due to grassand trees, but to the statisticalwave length of the light reflect­ed from complex organic cellconstituents.

Caltech's varsity hoopstersdropped their fourth game ofthe season in a 49-47 thrillerwhich saw the Cal Poly (SD)Broncos pull ahead in the finalminutes Saturday in the Caltechgymnasium.

Coach Carl Shy's Beavers,pref'sing hard in their first homegame of the year, seemed incommand of the game through­out the first half, but the Bron­cos, hitting well from the floor.kept within striking distance,and put on a late surge to tiethe game at halftime, 25-25.

In the second half Cal Polytook almost complete commandof the backboards and movedtwo points ahead early in theperiod. Tech scrambled to getback into the lead and finallypulled into a 39-39 tie on a driv­ing lay-in by forward Dick VanKirk. The Broncos moved aheadagain on long shots by guardsErnest Gee and Tom Peltzer,and when Tech went into apressing defense in an effort toregain possession the Beaversfouled repeatedly to enable CalPoly to maintain their marginby hitting from the free-throwline. The game ended with theBroncos putting on an effectivestall.

Phil Conley and Sonny Nelsontied for high point honors forthe Beavers with 15 pointsapiece, follOWed by RollandMoody with seven. Al Boyd andBob Arais hit nine points eachfor Cal Poly.

Tech's basketball forces are expected to realize their potentialtomorrow night in a tough game with the hated Occidental Tigersin Scott Brown Gymnasium at 8:15 p.m.

Strengthened since Christmas by the addition of two outstand­ing guards, Rolland Moody and Sonny Nelson, the Beavers havefinished an experimental period and are ready to field a solid team.Moody, scholastically ineligible last term, has brought back hisscoring ability and team leadership. Nelson has recovered from theleg injury which plagued him all fall and may prove to be the bestguard in the conference, although only a sophomore.

The second highest scorer inthe conference last year is backat center in the ,person of PhilConley, who averaged 19.6points per game. Conley haslettered twice and was voted tothe All-Conference second teamlast year.

Competition for the forwardslots has been rugged, andHowie Bloomberg, Dan Chilton,Glenn "Hooks" Converse andDick Van Kirk all have a chancefor the nod. Both Bloombergand Chilton are returning letter­men, but they have been pushedhard ,by Converse and Van Kirkboth up from last year's stron~freshman team.

Occidental's forces are led byAll-Conference Ted Tiffany, theleague's leading scorer. Startingat center is Dick Sovde 6'7"from last year's All-Conf~renc~second team and always a pot­ent rebound threat.

Coach Carl Shy's varsity hoopsters showed themselves to be ahustling bunch of players in Saturday night's home opener, butthere was a glaring weakness in the Beavers' game. 'fhe Techplayers just couldn't seem to cope with the taller Cal Poly menunder the boards on rebounds. It seemed as if Tech got only oneshot each time they brought the ball down the court, and then theBroncos would clear the boards and begin an attack of their own.A little bit of rebounding will sure come in handy tomorrow nightagainst the Oxy Tigers, and Westmont has a few big boys whocan handle themselves under the boards also.

by Dick Van KirkThe Sports Corner humbly apologizes to the ever-vigilant Phil

conley, ASCIT prexy, who called our attention to two errors inthe names of players mentioned in last week's column. Accordingto Phil, it should really be Dan Stevenson and Joe Wohlmuth whoare to be considered for all-conference mention. He also tells methat Stan Hubert of Whittier and Pete Carlson of Pomona-Clare­mont are among the better players in the league, his proof-restingin the fact that both were named to second team all-conferenceberths last season.

Crusade Dept.. It seems to me that sportswriters who coverconference games are laboring under some sort of misapprehensionabout how our conference should be referred to when mentionedin print. We seem to enjoy the unique distinction of being the onlyconference to get the initial of every word in our conference titleprinted every time it is mentioned. This seems to me to be a wastenot only of time and space, but also of sportswriters' energy, athing which usually is about as scarce as green teeth on babyroosters. I have never seen the Border Conference referred to asthe BIAC, nor have I seen the Skyline conference written as theMountain States Athletic Conference very often. Therefore I pro­pose (said he) that it should be called the SCC instead of the SCIAC.Just think of all that extra ink!

I watched themin their early practices and at times it did appear as if they weregoing places this year. But in their games they have displayedan almost unanimous lack of hustle and desire to win.

theatreJENNY KISSED ME

Rudy Vallee, a man of 55,.romps through the role of a 70­year-old priest with the enthu­siasm of a youngster to make'-Jenny Kissed Me" an enjoyableshow. Originally produced onBroadway in 1948, "Jenny KissedMe," written by Jean Kerr, is.currently being presented at thePasadena Playhouse.

Whatever else may be said..bout the play, it is funny. Val­lee plays an old pastor, FatherMoynihan, who is as up-to-date35 the Sphinx, as polite as anaborigine and has a personalitythat rumbles along like a Jug­gernaut.

Mrs. Deazy (pronounced Dai­sY), the priest's housekeeper,and Michael, a young educatorwhose greatest diversion seems~ be playing chess, live in therectory with Father Moynihan.

Jenny, Mrs. Deazy's 18-year­old niece, moves into this aus­tere atmosphere with her proud­est possessions-a bowl of gup­pies, a set of the Book of Knowl·edge and a passion for sweetpotato plants. The pastor en·visions his peaceful residencebeing disrupted by what heviews as an "annoying teen­ager." He hastily convinces herthat she shoUld apply makeupand lower her neckline a little·and sets about getting her mar·tied.

His first target is an egotisti·cal bum with an over activelibido. This match fizzles andeventually Jenny marries amore stable individual, but theaudience doesn't particularlycare who the girl marries, or ifthe priest ever gets her out ofthe house. However the playnever pretends to be anythingbut humorous, and that it is.

The program says that BrittLomond (Michael) has played anumber of swashbuckling movieroles. Unfortunately he doesnot wear his sword in this play;indeed he acts as though hefeels naked without it.

Sally Fraser, as Jenny, im­proves as the play proceeds. AsJenny's interests evolve fromguppies to men (as she so aptlyputs it: "There are other thingsin life besides books."), MissF'raser warms to the part. Sheis attractive; by the time Jennysays, "I am not a child, but awoman," everyone but the blindis aware of the fact.

Leonard Shoemaker is effec­tive in his role as the fast boyfriend, as is Maudie Prickett asMrs. Deazy. Some of the minorsupporting characters, fiayinglike Windmills, tend to act alittle too much like actors.

The play is directed by JackLynn and the one set of the playis designated by Marvyn Harbet.

Just for the laughs, the playis worth seeing.

Curtain time is 8:30 each eve­ning. Tickets are priced from$1.20 to $2.40 for the weekendperformances and should bepurchased at least two days inadvance.-R.K.

moviesTHE MAN WITH THE GOL­

DEN ARM (Eleanor Parker,Frank Sinatra, Kim Novak). Itis quite a problem for a moviemaker to bring to the screensocial problems without indulg­ing in the too-easy pastime ofmoralizing. Fortunately, "TheMan 'With the Golden Arm" man­ages to avoid this obvious pit­fall during most of its tenure onthe screen. Occasionally, how­ever, Frankie Machine, the some­what debauched hero of "GoldenArm," sticks in a rather obviousplatitUde, probably as a concil­iatory gesture to the PTA, etc.

As you have doubtless heard,

Frank Sinatra plays the part ofFrankie Machine, an ex-narco­tics addict and card dealer, whohas just been released from asanitarium, ostensibly cured ofthe habit.

During his treatment, as partof his therapy, Machine learnsjazz drumming, and he hashopes of chucking his formerlife in favor of one as a danceband drummer. What seems tobe the biggest obstacles in hispath are a wife, "2osh," (Elea­nor Parker) who makes LadyMacbeth look affectionate, andthe neighborhood dope peddlerwho hates to see a good custo·mer get away.

Zosh is pretending to be crip­pled as the result of an auto ac­cident, to hold onto Machine,who would leave her flat for theun-brassiered Kim Novak wholives downstairs. Eventually,the comhination of circustsan­ces gets poor Frankie takingdope and dealing again, and heblows his one audition with aname band. Incidentally, thepicture serves to introduce oneMilton Rogers, who has alreadybeen mentioned for the Acad·emy Award as the result of hisfine portrayal of the band leader.

With one or two exceptions,"Golden Arm" moves at a breath·less pace that keeps the viewerintent; a very worthwhile pic­ture. F.K. -
