Dear California Tech:This is an embarrass­

ment. Here we are, a lead­ing technical institute,known for our astronomydepartment, crawling withbright young minds. Yet itseems nobody understandsthe principles of the mostbasic of all astornomicalinstruments. There is ahorizontal sundial installedon a pedestal in the court-

yard between Crellin,Gates, and Parsons-Gates.If properly installed itwould be equally ornamen­tal, and it would tell timeto within 15 minutes (itcould even be adjustedtwice a year to account fordaylight savings time). It is,however, presently installed180 degrees from the cor­rect position. The south­pointing (!) gnomon is be­ing asked to cast a'shadowtoward the east in themorning and toward thewest in the afternoon. Itshould not require a rocketscientist to figure that out.

Paul AsimowGrad Student in Geologyx6474paul@expet.gps

In the last issue ofThe Tech, thecover story re­ported that "a wit­ness saw the sus­pect Romero hav­ing words with [F.Javier] Mora ataround 12:15 p.m.on the day of themurder, near acampus lunchtruck. Romero re­portedly pushedMora, who ignoredhim and pro­ceeded to getlunch." This reportis false.

Avery House is probablymodeled, at least in part, onCornell's Telluride IIouse, inwhich guests are invited to spenddays, weeks, or months in the(self-governing) House's spa­cious and elegantly appointedrooms. But, in the case ofCornell, these invited figures areof intellectual note, not hoped­for donors; they are possessors ofworthwhile and challenging phi­losophies whom the House ex­pects, on occasion, to disagreewith.

The business of Cal tech, toparaphrase Coolidge, is business.These visitors come not to en­gage in discussion, not to seeCaltech, but rather to have theInstitute tell them just howhappy it is to receive their emi­nencies, yes sir.

"Avery House will embodythe spirit of entrepreneurship,"says the flyer. Strange that thenumber of successful business­men Cal tech has produced havecome from such an un"entrepre­neurial house system. Strange,too, that the plan for Averyevokes in the mind riot some­thing invigorating, like an idea,nor even something gossamerand intangible, like a spirit, butsomething, as a true literary en­trepreneur once wrote, "weary,stale, flat and unprofitable."

By Zack Berger

So it has come to this, then?The administrative, Parsons­Gates folks maintained a strenu­ous silence for months on end,steadfastly refusing even tospeculate on the nature thehouse would take. Frosh pick­~ng into Avery during rotation?No idea, they said-we'll seewhat happens. Would the newresidence take on the traditional,self-governing form of a house?No comment. The time, theykept on saying, is not yet ripe.Trained jugglers and sword-swal­lowers performing for thefaculty's enjoyment? Maybe,maybe not; it's all up in the air,they repeated.And now, in the above honestparagraph from (one presumes)the Public Relationeers, we learnthe true, long-planned nature ofthis house, this Avery (better,Avarice) House. It will be atemple dedicated to acorrup­tion: a perversion of CaItech'soriginal mission as specified inthe Catalog ("the training ofcre­ative scientists and engineers")into another aim--a farm forfinanciers, a breeding ground

4 May 5, 1995 The California Tech

Race Go son a Saturday morning in late

,May. Kellogg's team was calledKellogg's Eighth Light RegimentOn Foot, or KELROF for short.They did indeed achieve theirgoal, going on to reach 247miles. This was the birth ofa newtradition.

The following year, Kellogg'steam was back, this time settingthe track on fire by covering 262miles in the day. This record isstill standing 17 years later. Moreteams showed up to the 2ndKELROF as well. The race wouldcontinue to thrive for another 3or 4 years while some membersof the original team were aroundto foster its growth. Participantswho had ,graduated would flyback to Pasadenajust to competein KELROF. The numbet ofteams entered in the eventsoared, reaching 69 participantsand even the last place team run­ning 194 miles. Unfortunately,the mid 80's saw a bit of a declinein participation and enthusiasmin the event, though every Me­morial Day weekend, severalhearty souls made their pilgrim­age to the track to test theirmettle. Last year, participationwas down to 3 teams, a 10-per­son, a 8-person and a 2-person.The winning team reached only188 miles and the 2-man (Chrisand I) retired after 100 miles.

Kumar Raman, Chris and Iare in charge of the KELROFproceedings this year, and we areattempting to bring back someof the Steve Kellogg spirit andpassion for the race from the olddays. Stay tuned to the Tech formore announcements. Rightnow, all you need to know isKELROF is Saturday, May 27that 9 a.m. Until then, eat nails!

by Tom Dmukauskas

May brings with it that timeof the year that everybody looksforward to-KELROF. For thosewho have been living in the com­puter lab for the past severalyears, KELROF is a 24 hour re­lay race on the track here atCaltech. Teams from 2 to 10people tackle this formidabletask by running 1 mile at a time.Who would ever come up withsuch a masochistic ritual? I havetried to answer that question bypiecing together informationfrom the KELROF archives (abox of papers in Chris Cary'sroom).

Turning the clock back to1977, we find Cal tech track ath­lete and physics major SteveKellogg reading through the lat­est issue of Runner's, World,when one article in particularcatches his eye. It contains therules for the Runner's World 24­hour relay race, accompanied bya whole slew of records for suchan event, by state, by number ofteam members and so on. Thisis sounding just strange enoughto be cool. He decides to try toget a 10 person team togetherwith the goal of covering 240miles in the 24 hour period. Itturns out that he would not haveto look very far, as 7 of his trackteammates detided to join him.The remaining two spots weresnatched by a grad student anda JPL staff member. Kelloggmust have been a master at in­spiring others, because another10-person team from the Caltechcommunity and countless volun­teer timers and trainer's assis­tants from his affiliate Pagehouse would show up at 9 a.m.

Since itwill house over 100 undergrads,and have it's own dining facili­ties, it would be natural for it tobecome an eighth house. If youend up in Avery, you're prettymuch going to be spending mostofyour time there, and eat therewith the other people in Avery.Isn't this enough to constituteanother house? Avery should beup and ready by the fall of '96.This will be the year when thisyear's sophomores. will be se­niors. The immediate questionseems to be will the new incom­ing frosh of that year live inAvery? If they do, who will pickthem? Mull over it, and tellpeople like Kim West or DavidWales what you think. They'dappreciate it.$ Thanks to everybody whoshowed up for the prefrosh party.The party was DJ-ed by Wart(alum), Alex Lin, and AnthonyMoliarno. Alex apparently man­aged to get $400 worth of light­ing for $120. As Wart put it, "wepretty much took all that thestore had left."

I t would be nice if we hadother events besides parties. Thebarbecue organized by JimPierce and the frosh night outapparently turned out great. Itseems like it's always the samepeople who show up for partiesanyway. As Tom Maccaronepointed out, there are peoplewho find parties a bit intimidat­ing, and it would be more "fair"if ASCIT sponsored a variety ofevents so that everybody couldget their ASCIT-dues worth andmore. Think up somethingfunky, and tell your nearest BODmember. Or let your finger dothe typing and mail to ascit@cco.

$ ASCIT FORMAL: If you'reone of the people going on the26th, I need money from you.Write a check out to ASCIT, putyour name and your date's name(if you're going as a couple) onthe line at the bottom left-handcorner of the check, slip it un­derneath the door of Blackerroom 20 or Greg's room andwow, you're one of the peoplegoing to the formal. It's as easyas one-two-three.$ CLUBS: Just because youwere allocated money from AS­CIT does not mean I'll automati­cally send you the check everyterm. You'll have to ask me on aterm-by-term basis. Also, all theclubs thatnever handed in a bud­get money request and haven'tcontacted me, your deadline isby the next BOD meeting nextWednesday. After that, I'll haveto abandon you. The secondarybudget allocation for clubs willbe announced in next week'sTech. I hope. Some notableclubs that have yet to contact meat all: Men's Glee Club, TheCaltech Hong Kong Students As­sociation.

Some clubs that have con­tacted me but have been flakes:CCSA, Racquetball Club, well,you know ~ho you are. You canfind me in Blacker 20 or if yourather not fmd me, email me atkannas@ugcs.$ MORE CLUBS: Trends onhow the club money was decidedthis year:

1) How flashy you are. Ifyouhad BIG events where a lot ofpeople showed up, we were gen­erally generous. Case in Ex­ample: IEEE with it's EE SocialHour.

2) Longevity. We upped themoney for groups like the JamRoom and the Student Shopwhere investment in the equip­ment is beneficial for the wholecommunity. Would you be ableto survive without theJ am RoomPA stuff? Hmmm?

3) Number of ASCIT mem­bers. We actually did a break­down of the club money per AS­CIT member for each club andtried to even things out.

The Tyler Prize was estab­lished in 1973 by John Tyler,founder and longtime chief ex­ecutive officer of the FarmersInsurance Group, and his wifeAlice. Both lifelong lovers of theoutdoors and the natural world,the Tylers hoped that by creat­ing an internationally significanthonor to recognize achievementin the fields of environmentalstudy and environmental protec­tion, they could help focus worldattention on environmentalproblems and help motivate ef­fective action toward solutions.

Alice Tyler organized andfinancially supported the prizeafter her husband died in 1973.In that year, an executive com­mittee was appointed to selectprize winners. The first TylerPrizes were awarded, in 1974, toArie Jan Haagen-Smit (theCal tech 'scientist who first de­scribed the mechanism of pho­tochemical smog); ecologist G.Evelyn Hutchinson; and UnitedNations EnvironmentalProgramme founding directorMaurice Strong.

From 1981 through 1993,the University of Southern Cali­fornia administered the prize incooperation with Alice Tyler.After Mrs. Tyler died in 1993, anendowment was established atUSC to found the Tyler Prize inperpetuity.

Last year's Tyler Prize wasawarded to two botanists associ­ated with tropical forest researchand protection, Arturo Gomez­Pompa of the University of Cali­fornia, Riverside, and PeterRaven of the Missouri BotanicalGarden.

Andy Cameron has ledCaltech's charge into the Christ­mas in April program. Althoughas 615 Howard's house co-cap­tain he was a blur of activity andorganization on the actual work­ing days, his commitment to theprogram has been year-long.Andy is a member of the 1995Board of Directors, and as Chairof the Volunteer Committee heworked hard recruiting volun­teers and organizing them intoteams for each of the houses.

Andy wasn't the only onefrom Caltech helping with theprogram. Beyond the obviouscontributions of the students (7undergrads and 2 grads) thatshowed up on Saturday, AthenaCastro at the Caltech Yorganizedthe volunteers and Dick Barker,superintendent of the PhysicalPlant shops, helped with materi­als.

leagues established that lead ispresent in the environment inhuge quantities-at levels up toa thousand times greater than inancient times.

Patterson obtained naturalbackground lead levels for ear­lier times by testing snow samplesthat he retrieved from theicecaps of Greenland and Ant­arctica. He developed noveltechniques in order to conductthese extremely precise analyses.

In recent years, medical re­search has established medicallysignificant consequences ofleadpoisoning at lower and lowerdosages. Effects of environmen­tal lead include lowered intelli­gence in exposed children.

Patterson traced a chain oflead contamination from the gaspump and other environmentalsources directly to the humanblood stream. His research gaverise to a political effort that re­sulted in a phased end to the saleof leaded gasoline. Other gov­ernment action has cleaned upsuch sources of environmentallead as paints, water pipes, foodcontainers, and smelters.

Environmental scientistsMitsunobu Tatsumoto and ToddK. Hinkley of the U.S. Geologi­cal Survey nominated Pattersonfor the Tyler Prize. "The connec­tion between the scientific andthe humanistic sides of[Patterson's] work are strongerthan may have ever been the casein [nonmedical] scientific re­search," they wrote.

"Patterson has never slantedstatements of his results to ac­commodate or placate specialinterests, either within the scien­tific community or outside ...The lesson has been given toother scientist~ that, if have

All told, over 300 volunteersturned out to help with renova­tions on the seven housesadopted in Pasadena by Christ­mas in April this year.

Imagine a technologically advanced world inwhich nothing works; and imagine a man with nodreams, except oflove. Then imagine that in orderfor something not to work, or for someone to fall inlove, you have to fill out a formJ-26B. That mightgive you some picture of the movie Brazil, directedby Terry Gilliam, formerly of the Monty Pythontroupe. The movie is a vicious satire on governmen­tal inefficiency and bureaucracy, and especially onthe "troubles" between England and the territoryof Northern Ireland, depicting Sam Lowry fightingan endlessly frustrating world filled with terrorists,plastic surgeons, heating engineers, interrogators,and of course, his mother.

Brazil begins on a Tuesday, somewhere in the20th century, at 8:49 p.m. In this movie you willfind "heating engineers" that are alternately terror­ists (played by Robert De Niro) or mindless thugs,and you will find Sam Lowry (Jonathan Pryce), fromthe Records Department, whose mother knows sim­ply everybody, and isn't afraid to show it. In theRecords Department Sam has absolutely no chanceof being noticed by anybody, and that's the way helikes it, until Archibald Buttle: shoe repair opera­tive, is mistaken for Archibald Tuttle: heating engi­neer (his good friends call him Harry). Buttle is ab­ducted by the minions of the Ministry of Informa­tion (M.O.!. for short, which you might recognizeas "me" in French). The M.O.I. is a sprawling bu­reaucracy which is responsible for everything, andthus can be held accountable for nothing. JillLeighton (Katherine Helmond), the woman ofSam's dreams, is witness to this mishap, which marksher to receive an "invitation to assist operatives ofthe Ministry of Information".

Terry Gilliam is notorious for going over b"d­get on everything, and sticking in every little detailthat he thinks of as filming goes along, and Brazil isno exception. The architecture and settings aredownright awe inspiring, both in their magnitudeand hideous irony. That's really what this movie isall about: irony after irony after irony, all in fantas­tic detail. Pay attention to the government propa­ganda posters throughout the film; some of themare hilarious, like "Power now. Problems later." atthe nuclear power plant where you will find a dozenor so workers in radiation suits playing volleyball.This movie is one long trip into a surreal,dream­like world, that may not make much sense the firsttime through, but I would say that it is worth seeingmore than once, since even on my eighth (or is itninth?) viewing I caught new details, like the factthat everyone in the movie, except for Sam, wearsgloves at some point.

You begin to worider as the movie goes on, andgets stranger and stranger, whether it is Sam who isinsane, or if it's everyone else. Throughout themovie Sam is falling asleep, and into a dreamworldthat more and more closely resembles the real worldas time goes on, until finally you cannot tell themapart. There are so many places that this moviecould end, but doesn't, kind of like some visualBeethoven symphony gone mad, lifting you up tohigher heights and then dropping you to lower lowswith each passing scene, which, by the way, neverseem to be more than about 2 minutes long. Thebest part is, depending on what copy you happento see, you can get a couple of different endings.This kind of bothers me. I'm left wondering whatTerry Gilliam actually intended. All in all, Brazil isone of my favorite movies, even though the endingis a little too drawn out and stressful. Oh, and themusic is wonderfuL ...

And,ofcourse, there are the imagina­tive names: Moles, and Scurves.e From this point forward, we,the denizens of the Hovse ofAvery, shall be known as "Oosiks"(pronounced "oo-sicks", singu­lar "Oosik").

We displacedsophomores of the other sevenfine centers, er houses, havebeen living just north of theMOSH for more than sevenmonths what with the hOl.lsingcrunch and all. Why- are theyonly now beginning construc­tion? It might have been nice tohave a roof over our heads be­fore the torrential rains ofJanu­ary washed our precious few be­longings away. What fool is re­sponsible for this planning?

And while we're on the sub­ject of planning ... what's withthis whole "Center" bullpoopie?Its a G-ddamn house. A housewe tell 'ya. A HOUSEl Not acenter. Not a convention hall.Not a museum. It is a place tosleep. It is a place to socialize. Itis a place to eat (God willing, thefood will be better than the dungdished out in the other sevencenters, er houses). And, ifprop­erly conceived, it is also a placeto sit by a fire and warm ourchilled bones. Or maybe roast afew cats.

Ifwe a perceived as anythingother than a house, we will bedistanced from the Caltech com­munity. We will be outcasts.Now, don't get us wrong. Thishas its advantages. We will nolonger be considered membersof the 'Caltech Community' andso will not be bound by theHonor Code. This will give usthe fantastic opportunity tocheat our butts off.

Today's Target: We love the In­side World so much ...Ricketts House:Last Saturday, Wei-Hwa Huangwas scheduled to appear on theSaturday afternoon chat show"The Rachel Hunter Hour." Hisappearance wasn't to be of aninterview nature but rather toinvolve his death. Yes Wei-HwaHuang volunteered to appear on"The Rachel Hunter Hour" to bekilled by a host of angry andTech-hating Scurves. However,when the time came, Rachelfound herself alone in thesKURV radio room. What wentwrong?

First of all, it was all but onehundred percent certain thatWei-Hwa would make his much­anticipated appearance. Sec­ondly many had said they wouldstop by to participate in the kill­ing since Rachel is too kind­hearted to kill anything muchlarger thaI) a squirrel (but ohwhat a bloody squirrel death sheeloquently described on hershow while waiting for Wei­Hwa). Apparently, while theshow was being broadcast live,Wei-Hwa was in Cherry kitchenbattling valiantly in chess. Hemet his death, but that wasn'tgood enough to satisty even themost apathetic of sKURV radiolisteners. Rachel interviewedWei-Hwa for the remainder ofher show and was invited to killhim live on his show which wouldbe airing on Monday.

Although it was improbablethat Rachel would kill Wei-Hwa,the Monday show never hap­pened. Wei-Hwa's show neveraired. Why? sKURV radio isdead. sKURV radio was sabo­taged. Coincidence?

Ah, splingtime! Love is in bloom,and flowers are in the air. The weather'swarming up, and before you know itsummer will be here. And you knowwhat that means. Soon it'll be fall. Fol­lowed by winter. And what do we do inthewinter? 'Illat's light! Wewishitwerespling. And here it is! My how timeflies. What was our point again? Ohyeah!

Summer is quickly encroachingupon us, and with it comes the bane ofall self:"'respecting humans, swimsuitseason. Technically speaking, a hand­ful of people actually look forward toshowing offtheirwonderflll bodies, butwe usually don't care because we knowthatwe're smarter or nicer or better ath­letes than them anyway. Mostofm, how­ever, are forced to ponder just how atiny scrap offablic will cover everythingthat legally cannot be revealed in pub­lic, and yet still look enticing/sexy/ at­least'-not-repulsive. Despite what thefashion industry would like you to be­lieve, the answer does not lie in a newcut, drape, color or pattern. Nor is theanswer a great tan nor bleached blondhaiI~ although that might temporalilydivert an observer's eyes.

There's only one way to walk withpIide onto a public beach wealing onlya bathing suit, and maybe some thongs.And no, that method doesn't require areally big towel. Yes, we think you'vealready guessed where we're headed.You're going to have to bite the bullet.But don't swallow! Because it's timeonce again for the annual S&M WeightLoss Extravaganza! Want to know howto eat whatever you want and still loseweight? We can tell you how. Need helpmotivating yourself? We can provide it.Want to give us all your money so thatyou can't afford food? We can do thattoo (See Weight Loss Plan #18, "Self­Induced Poverty").

lfyou're like us, and not like thosedisgustingly non-overweight peoplethat we all love to hate, and maybe stonein the public square for fun, then readon!

We've spent the last few weeks in­vestigating every diet plan we could layour hands on. And the research was

more than just in ,pllectually grueling.We both had JO~ J1d regain ten totwenty pound ~"ery diet we tested.After all, we WOUllt . er recommendto you, our Ie 1 r;" .rship, any kindof diet plan thal we ourselves hadn'ttlied. TIlatwould be irresponsible. Alsoour lawyers told us not to. Our lawyersalso told us to mention, in an offhandkind of way, that none of the followingdiets are necessalilyguaranteed to workone hundred percent of the time, andcould, under the rarest ofcircumstance,cause seizures or blindness. But notdeath! So on with the show!

Diet Plan for Men: Let's face facts.Men and women are diflerent, andwe're notjust talking about breasts andhairy faces! Men and women are dif~

ferenton the inside too. And we're notjust talking about livers and adrenalglands! Women, there's no need foryou to continue reading this paragraph,it'sjust filled with distasteflu macho-typeweight-loss grunting.Justgo ahead andsave yourself some gIief and skip ondown to the next paragI<lph. See yousoon! Okay! Men, do you need to loseweight? Well,just skip lunch. You canstill eat dinner. Heck, you can probablystill eat lunch most of the time. Justmake sure to miss it every now and then,and those pounds will practically fly offof you! Howevel~ there is some lisk in­volved in this diet. Ifyou do not followthe following insu'uctions to the lettel~

it may I'esult in gI<lve personal injury.Do nol, under any circumstances, revealthe true nature ofyour weight loss planwithin earshot of any women. Eventhough they probably know that all youhave to do is skip a meal or two, theybecome infilliated whenever they're re­minded of that fact. Our suggestion isto lie through your teeth, perhaps some­thing like this: "How did I lose all thatweight? Well, I swim four times a weekand only eat-salads for dinnel: Isn't di­eting horrible?" Good luck men! Oh,and don't forget to read the rest ofthiscolumn,just for appeal'ance's sake.

The "Sports,Sports, Sports"Method: Do you like sports? If not,you're going to learn to like 'em! Be­cause in this diet, you play sports 'til yer

sick! Too tirerl ,..... eat. Too tired to sleep.Almost too ell ,read our column.What kind (.·t~? Glad you asked.How abO! 10- basketball?

That wime ball can reallysting). For you chlOlinaholics there'sSpeed Synchronized Swimming. It's notjust dancing in the pool as fast as youcan; it's synchronized, for your protec­tion. Finally, there's Marc's favoritesport, the Grounds keeping Ol)~npics.

How fast can you mow Marc's lawn?Weed his back yard? Prune his roses?Only one way to find out! Contact Marcfor contest information.The "Interview with a Columnist" Diet:

Marc: So, Sharon, I hear you'vebeen doing a little u'aveling lately.

Sharon: I have indeed! I recentlydrove through a few of our greatcounu'y's southwestern states, viewingsuch national landmarks as the GrandCanyon, Bryce andZion National Parks,and the Luxor hotel in Las Vegas.

M: Oh my! Itsound~ tlllilling. ButI heal' the excitement didn't stop afteryou returned.

S: How righ tyou are! After a vaca­tion has ended, all you have left are thememOlies. And the souvenirs. And thephotos. And, in some cases, videos.What was I talking about again?

M: The"photos you needed toduplicate for YOLII' companion.

S: Exactly! I w<:nt to Fox Photo,that place in the Plaza Pasadena.

M: And why did you choose them?Could it have been the sale?

S: You are correct sir! Fox wasadvertising a sale on photo replints. SoI ordered about a hundred, at the dis­counted price.

M: And did anything of interestoccur when you paid for said replint~?

S: I'll say! TIley uied to chargeme the Oliginal plice! Naturally, Iwouldhear nothing of it. After an excessivedelay, they finally cOiTected their errOl:But get tllis: when I received my credit

card bill, wlnt did I SI'I' but the Oliginal(undiscou ') pI' All this after Ihad to go l 'Ib ty times to cor-rect prob' 1S " nt b they'd done!

M: osc sca ns! Ifonlyyouhad some recourse in which to warnyour fellow consumers, some forum inwhich your voice could be heard.

S: So U'ue! Alas, my story is fatedto go unheard.

M: \\Thew! All the interviewingquestions have lell: me exhausted! Imust have burned up a thousand calo­ries alone on my note-taking!

S: You're tired?! Think of howdebilitating it is to be the interviewee!

M: I think we can call this diet anunqualified success.

The Localized Diet: Do you haveonly certain parts ofyour body that youneed to concenu'ate on? A highly lo­calized diet might be the way to go.Marc recently noticed that his thumbwas getting a little flabby. His intensiveroutine involved watching many hoursof television every day, but not lingel~

ing on anyone channel for more thanfifteen seconds. After three days histhumb was back in tip-top shape! Onanother occa~ion,Marc noticed that hisjaws seemed a little weak. 11le solution:chewing exercises, utilizing the mosteffective meallS ofjaw-muscle resistanceavailable: DOlitos. A bag a day for eightdays, and Marc'sjaw was sU'ong enoughto eat squid! These days, Marc st.'1ys ona maintenance diet of tele\1sion andchips, and so far there has been no hintofa relapse.

The Binge and Barney Plan: Areyou tired oflow calOlie, low fat, low tastediets? Wouldn't it be gI'eat if somehowyou could eat a~ much ofanything youwanted, and still lose weight? Well nowyou can! lee cream, burgers, beer, avo­cados and even pint~ of pure lard areno longer ofl:"'limits to people like youand us. After you've completed a meal(normal or roman-style) ,just sit dO\\11in fi'ont of any handy television andwatch an episode of "Barney", the mostintellectually sickening children's showto ever star a simpering milquetoast ina purple dinosaur suit. We've found thatthe average time it takes for "Barney" toinduce vomiting in adults is a speedy

13.2 second~, after which you won't beable to eat again for two days! This wasour most effective diet, although severalafoul' fellow researchers required somecounseling afterwards. Warning! Donot look directly into the screen, as youmay either be chiven mad or short outyour television. A~ they say in England,"Gimme a bucket!" This diet plan ha~

also been known as the "Binge andPower Rangers Plan", "Binge andSimpson Tlialliial" and the "Binge alldContract \\1th Amelica PlatJcHln".

The Loooove Diet, Exciting andNew: Ah, love. Nothing is a bettermotivator to lose weight. First you haveto look good to attract someone. Thenyou have to stay looking good for thosefirst few dates. And then you really haveto look good, because let's face it, nomatter how baggy or well-cut or verti­cally sUiped your clothes are, they won'tdo you a bit of good if they're heapedon the f1oO!' ofyour bedroom. By thisstage ofthe romance (allen reh~ITed toas "the sickening Elhz"), you won't needto eat, because love iL~e1fwill sust.'1in youindefinitely. And then it happens. Heleaves the toilet seat up. She leaves thecap ofr the toothpaste. Trouble in para­dise. Most relationships come to an end,and rarely are hath parties happy aboutit. But this cloud has a silver lining:you're too miserable to eat! Even thesight of fc)od creates a pit in your stom­ach. TIut melon reminds you of her.That hot dog reminds you of him.

ewsand radial distance from themoon. They published the resultsfrom their 1991 project in theJuly,1993 edition of Science, so go lookit up!Pluto and Charon's StrangeOrbital Dance

On the edge of our solar sys­tem, Pluto and Charon, the twosmallest planets in our solar sys­tem, rotate around each otherevery 6.2 days. Images taken frombefore the repair of the HubbleTelescope have revealed that thisorbit may be elliptical. This haspuzzled planetary scientists whostudy Pluto because the gravita­tional forces between the two bod­ies should have changed the or­bit to a perfectly circular one.

The reason this should be sois that thetwo planets are so closeto each other (19,200 miles, ap­proximately the diameter of ourEarth) that they are "tidallylocked". This means that the ro­tation period of each body is thesame as the orbit period for bothbodies, causing the same face ofeach planet to be seen from theother. Our own moon is tidallylocked to the Earth (we only seeone hemisphere for the wholemonth), but not vice-versa.

The most likely theory (thesimplest, read: Occam's Razor) isthat sometime in the very recentpast an object slammed intoCharon, knocking its circular or­bit into an elliptical one. The timeframe for such an event to haveproduced the degree of"ellipseness" (called eccentricityby astronomers) is about ten mil­lion years ago. . lis would nothave given Pluto a chance to ironout its companion's orbit backinto a circle yet. David]. Tholenof the University ofHawaii specu­lates that the darker regions onPluto may stem from such an im­pact, seeing as how Charon isquite a bit darker than Pluto.

This makes a mission to thetwo outermost planets extremelyexciting, especially after witness­ing impacts like Shoemaker-Levy9. Vote ''Yes!'' on Pluto Express!

For astronauts of the future,building in microgravity environ­ments will be difficult with onlytwo hands that nature provided uswith. That is why a extra set ofhands is being developed atJohnson Space Center in Hous­ton, Texas.

The device in developmentnow is a small robot that looks likea cubical version of R2-D2 fromStar Wars. It has two arms withthree fingered "hands" and a foot.The eyes are "pan and tilt" (visu­alize two cylinders with a crossmember connecting them) sen­sors that can see in stereo.

The arms are being testedcurrently in the "Vomit Comet",a KC-135 airplane that has beenconverted to a dive-bomber tosimulate microgravity environ­ments. It should be in operationby 1998, ready to help astronautswith building the InternationalSpace Station, estimated to takenearly 900 hours of EVA-ExtraVehicular Activity) time.Probing the Lunar Atmosphere

Our moon has an extremelytenuous "atmosphere," gasesgiven off by the surface that can­not escape the moon's weak grav­ity. As it turns out, a gas found inabundance in the lunar "atmo­sphere" is sodium. Luckily for us,sodium atoms are very easy todetect because they scatter sun­light well. The sodium atoms arenot the most numerous in the lu­nar atmosphere, rather it is themost visible. In this way, it acts asa tracer for other gases present.

Measurements made atMcDonald Observatory in Texasreveal a gas envelope that extendsout to 6 lunar radii, almost 21 ,600miles across! Professor MichaelMendillo and grad student BrianFlynn mapped the distribution ofthe sodium atoms with latitude
