In the early 14th century, "many mathematicians thought the harmonic series must converge, as the terms kept getting smaller and smaller; the· rest thought that it must diverge because it keeps ad- ding more and more." Around 1350 AD, a mathematician named Oresme presented the first proof that the harmonic series does in- deed diverge. It was more convinc- ing to mathematicians "than Oresme was when he confronted the Pope about the evils of Catholi- cism." Even back then, mathema- ticians had a wide variety of interests.

Boas, the Leonidas Alaoglu Memorial Lecturer for 1989, in his speech "The Harmon- ic Series: Applications and Un- solved Problems." The lecture on Tuesday was the 7th annual lecture in memory of Alaoglu. This lecture program was established by the family and friends of Leonidas Alaoglu "in recognition of his great talents, his distinguished contributions to mathematics, and his long friend- ship with Caltech. The Institute is privileged to honor his memory with a lecture each year by an out- standing mathematician." Professor Boas easily fits into this category. After graduating from Harvard University in 1933 and receiving his Ph.D. there in 1937, Boas went on to teach at many distinguished institutions across the country, to publish more than 150 research papers, and to greatly enhance mathematical liter- ature with his editorships of Mathe- matical Reviews, Selecta Mathamatica Sovietica, and The American Mathematical Monthly. Ralph Boas has also played signifi- cant roles in the American Mathe- matical Society and the Mathematical Association of America. The lecture on the harmonic series was full of historical anec- dotes, statistics and problems.

Feynman has been established at Caltech by a $1.5 million gift from Caltech alumnus Michael Scott of Sunnyvale, California. Feynman, Nobel Laureate and one of this century's most brilliant theoretical physicists, died last year in February at the age of 69. He had been a member of the Caltech faculty for 38 years. As a Caltech freshman, Michael Scott attending Feynman's famous freshman physics lectures; and, like many Caltech students before and after him, was pro- foundly affected by Feynman's ex- traordinary ability to communicate the meaning of physics to au- diences at all levels. In establishing the Richard P. Feynman Professor- ship in physics, Scott stated his wish "particularly to recognize Feynman's genius as a teacher," as well as to honor his memory as a great scientist, author, and Nobel laureate. To that end, the selection of the recipient will include special consideration of teaching ability. In announcing the Scott gift for the Feynman professorship, Caltech's President Thomas E. Everhart expressed his apprecia- tion for the opportunity it gives the Institute to strengthen its commit- ment to excellence in teaching as well as to excellence in research. "Many of us suspect that our most important impact is the educa- tion we provide to our students," said Dr. Everhart. "Professor Feynman was an exemplar for us all, giving lectures that excited and enthused students, as well as in- structing and challenging them. It is fitting that a former student is the first to provide a chair honoring his total contributions -- but particular- ly to recognize the impact of his teaching." Scott earned his B.S. in physics from the institute in 1965. In 1977 he became the first president of of Apple Computer. Before joining the founders of Apple, Scott work- ed as an electrical engineer at Beckman Instruments, in linear product marketing at. Fairchild Semiconductor, and in manufactur- ing at National Semicoll1puter. During his five years.at Apple he supervised engineering, while establishing a modular real-time, on-line data processing system that coordinated the firm's activities. The company went public in 1980, and Scott semi-retired in 1981. He is currently advising small start-up companies. CRIME BEAT Information card holder stolen from Church Lab, Room 271.

lawlessness were decried as theroots of all evil in the world; peaceand harmony could be achievedthrough abolition of these traits.

Hence, many males werebrought up valuing total non­violence and non-aggressiveness.During the Peace Movementwomen rewarded men who dis:played these qualities. As part ofthe Women's Movement, womenassumed more active, initiatingroles, and many men were sub­jugated by them rather than beingtreated as equals by them.

The New Age male now facesa dilemma. He feels he has donehis d.uty to progressive society bypurgmg Rambo-like qualities fromhimself. By getting rid of all thesetraits, part of him is empty; hisprimitive side remains unexpressedthrough social conditioning.

The dilemma he faces now isthat he must change again. Before,he conformed to society's opinion.but now he finds that society didnot want him to go this far. Hemust now build a moderate amountof aggressiveness and initiative; hemust learn to recognize his violentemotions and express them in non­destructive ways.

, It is, now recognized that manyot the teared qualities of the WildMan are actually necessary andgood. Ideally, men would recog­nIze thiS part of themselves withoutbeing afraid of it or giving it freereign. This recognition of primitive~oundations for manhood is uplift­mg. Thus, it is recognized that aman who is in touch with the WildMan in him can be one of the mostfre~ and emotionally healthy in­diViduals in modern society.

by Josh KurutzThird in a Series

The "Wild Man" is a vitalmotivating part of every male, ac­cording to Robert Blye, an authorwhose ideas were presented at theMen's Discussion Group two Fri­days ago. The aim of that meetingwas to explore inner driving forcesessential to male personalities thatare often denied, overlooked, orregretted .

Blye's work was a folk talecalled, "The Pillow and The Key."It dealt with one man's discoverythat deep inside him, there was aWild Man of primitive urges andneeds. This primal self was cloakedwith "higher" features of the man'scharacter that made him look "civil­ized" though the primitive Man stilltries to express himself.

Once discovered, the Wild Manwas found to be a creature of manyqualities. He was adventurous andenjoyed discovering things. He wasnot constrained by any rules. Hewas very aggressive and capable ofgreat anger, and even violence.The capacity for violence in theWild Man forms most of the rea­son he is feared and overlooked.

. T~~ fear of confronting hispnmltIve self drives a man to cre­ate devices to avoid dealing with it.The lack of contact with this partof himself may lead a man toignore its expressions; for exam­ple, a violent man may declare heis not really that violent.

Failure to recognize this natur­al portion of self may also result indenial of its existence; such a manmay repress all his violent tenden­cies. This type of man is particu­larly susceptible to attacks on hisprimitive qualities.

Many interpret some sexualliberation ideologies as forces thatre~ognize and work to destroy theWild Man, thus depriving men ofwhat is natural to them. The resultof such efforts is often described asthe "soft male" or "New Age Male."

The soft male is one who lacksinitiative, is oversensitive, and isnot at all aggressive. He probablyf~els caged in by his value systemsmce these values discredit thefree-living primitive that lurks wi­thin.

The New Age male was seen tobe a response to the sexual Iibera­tion movement for a number ofreasons. During the height of themovement's activity, male charac­teristics such as aggressiveness and

by Sunday NightsBeaver Basketball finished out

its season with a victory over LaVerne 60-39 and close losses toPomona-Pitzer 54-52 and Whittier58-51. The Beavers finished theseason off displaying improvedskill and poise on the court.

. The Pomona-Pitzer game wasa tightly played match with Caltechleading for most of the game. TheBeavers lost the lead with less thanone minute left in regulation time.They then gained final possessionof the ball with less than tenseconds on the clock, but wereunable to convert a three point at­tempt i!lto a basket. George Papawas pomts leader with 15 pts. andSean Hillyard had 10 pts. Otherscorers were Bill Swanson 8 pts.,Jason Karceski 7 pts., AramKaloustian 5 pts., Larry Ahle 4pts., Brad Scott 3 pts.

The tough loss to Pomona­Pitzer did not dishearten the battl­ing Beavers as they crushed LaVerne in the following game. TheBeavers leapt to an early lead andkept it as they played with skillshoned in a long and hard season.The scoring for the game was fair­ly even with 4 players in doubledigits for Ca1tech: leader SeanHi~lyard 13 points, George Papa 12pomts, Aram Kaloustian 12 points,and Jason Karceski 11 points."Sweet William" Swanson had 8points also.

"Sweet William" Swanson turn­ed i.nto "Big Bad Bill" in the gameagamst Whittier as he led Caltech~cor!ng with 21 points. George~wI~,e the Approximate Driving

Tune Papa had 11 points. Jason"Bermuda Shorts" Karceski andLarry "Commissioner to HisFriends" Ahle each had 6 points.Aram "Next school I go to better~ave a ratio of 7 to 1 girls" Kalous­tIan was the assist leader as he hasbeen throughout the second half ofthe season.

The Beavers will miss the ex­cep!ional talents of graduatingsemors, Brad Scott, Sean Hillyard,Aram Kaloustian, and ScottBradley as the Battling Beaversplaya full varsity schedule startingnext season. The action promisesto be ~ven more exciting so plan oncheenng them on to victory nextfall. See you then.

Our next meet is this Saturdayat Claremont against Claremontand Redlands. Although coach JimO'Brien knows this will be a rudeawakening for the frosh on thetrack team, he believes that we cantry to pile up some points againsttwo of the stronger teams in theconference. "Biola, Westmont, andUCSD did not have their full con­tingent, but even if they did, theyadmitted we would have trashedtheir butts anyway!" said coach.Well, he still needs more people,so don't be bashful, come down andtalk to him anytime.

Both teams are undefeated,with an 11-0 record for the guysand a 10-0 record for the gals. Thisyear is making history for the team!What makes it even funnier is thatLaVerne didn't show up becausethey got juiced at parties the nightbefore!

The menWell, now the stud times. Sean

"Hillman" Hillyard is a god in the400 meters! With no training, hewon the race in 51.6, and anchoredthe mile relay team. Ray Hu ran animpressive 2:02.1 800m, in whichhe came from behind to take thelead, only to lose it at the very end.Randy Ralph is getting back intoshape, with a winning leap of 6'4"in the high jump. "Sweet William"Swanson jumped 6'0", his bestever.

Steve Harkness was awesomein the field events, throwing 40'0"in the shot, 143'5" in the javelin,and 101T' in the discus. ScottKister wasted some butt with a PR10:49 steeplechase, but wasted allhis energy so he only ran a 17:395000m. Chris Campo ran well inthe sleeping race, the 1O,000m,with a 36:39, and also ran a 17:565000m.

Other good performances wereDan Flees with a 4: 16.8 1500; PaulSocolow with a 1:01.3 400ih a19.4 1I0h; Tom Tetzlaff with a24.1 200, and a 11.7 100; Joe"Skate Punk" Fierro with a 56.1400m; James Davila with a 54.8400m, 1:08.3 400ih, and a 25.0200m; Johnny "Psycho" Tsai witha 104'9" discus and 112'5" javelin.

More fine performances wereDan Kollmorgen with a 24.6200m, and a 11.8 100m; GregJames with a 11.7 100m and a19'8" long jump; Jack "Home Boy"Prater with a 24.6 200m, a 19'9"long jump, and a 39'2" triple jump;Ed Mao with a 35'8" shot put anda 103'2" discus; Randy Stevenson

stress, or, in the interrogator'scase, rcact to a position of enor­mous power.

The staging of the play greatlyenhances the overall message be~

ing conveyed. Playbills describe itas being "... staged in a confronta­tional manner." But this does notimply explicit audience interaction.Deliberately small audiences areescorted by ushers from thcCaltech Coffeehouse to a stagingarea in the steam tunnels, where thefabricated theater of sorts is reveal-­ed. Props are provocatively arrang­ed to bring the audience close to theaction, but in a very symbolic man­ncr. The suggestive undergroundlocation of the production, coupl­ed with the judicious use of lightand darkness during scene changes.create a very grim atmosphere forthe players to perform in.

The relatively short length ofthe play-less than an hour­prevents the audience from form­ing its own conclusions until ufter­wards. Works of this sort,however. tend to provoke furtherthought after the fact. In this sense,the play is just long enough to con­vey the right mess~ges.

So what would bring tenpeo­pie away from the Coffeehouse toa location. in the bowels of thesteam tunnels?Granted, the dollaradmissicmpricecould buy an orderof fries, but what is the price ofenlightenment? OncFor the Roadoffers not so much a dollar's worthof entertainment as it does an hour'sworth of perspective.

RE-ELECT BILL THOMSONON MARCH· 7TH

-------(Paid Political Advertisement)-------

by Carl RothThe teOrm "industrial," in the ar­

tistic sense. is used to describe theloss of identity and freedom in theindustrial/post-industrial society,the "bitter message of hopelessgrief." The current production ofOne For the Road, a one-act playby Harold Pinter, fits its billing as"industrial theater" very accurate­ly. Directed by Mack Rhinelander,it depicts the plight of the politicalprisoner in a harsh, yet surrealway.

Not so much a series of eventsas it is snapshots on a single event,the plot revolves around the inter­rogation of a political prisoner,played by Josh Partlow, by thcchief interrogator, played by MackRhinelander. The interrogatoralternately brings in the man's wifeand son, played by Pamela KatzRosten and Craig Volden, respec­tively. Great emphasis is placed Oilthe actual effects of the interroga­tion, and no mention is made ofthealleged political offense. Thisserves to establish a certaintimelessness of the plight ofpolitical prisoners, undoubtedlyone of the intentions of theplaywright. The play rings ofOrwell's 1984, but its minimaJismserves to highlight the humanaspect of interrogation.

This vehicle of conscience ispropelled along effortlessly by thefour players involved. The acting,sometimes subtle and sometimesnot so subtle, points to eachcharacter's idiosyncrasies and per­sonal faults. While the fourcharacters are, in a sense, facelessabstracts, much is to be gained byobserving how people react to

by Bengt Magnusson"Det kunde ha varit varre," it

cound have been worse, says Inge­mar in Saturday's Cinematechmovie, Mitt Live Som Hund or MyLife As A Dog. Ingemar, a youngboy, is the main character in thismasterfully-made Swedish movie.It is set in Sweden during the late50's, soon after the first Sputnikwas launched. Ingemar manages tocontinuously get himself intostrange situations: sad ones, dan­gerous ones, funny ones. He wouldmost certainly be a bur4en for anyparents; especially so for his lonemother, who is seriously ill. He istherefore sent away to live with hisuncle in a rural part of Sweden un­til she recovers. His alreadytroublesome childhood is certain­ly not made easier by his relativesin the city, who see him and his be­loved dog Sickan as an unwelcomeburden they want to get rid of atonce. Ingemar has a veryphilosophical outlook on life; hethinks a lot, and manages to gethimself through difficult momentsthat way. He always says to him­self that it could have been worse,and seems content with that.

All of Ingemar's hardships aredepicted with a lot of humor,although the funny parts are neverallowed to dominate. There is avery sad feeling permeating manyof the scenes, giving you a verystrong emotional response. Sort oflike eating very cold ice cream withveryiyery hot fudge, if you under­stand what I mean. It is one of thefunniest and saddest movies I haveseen.

The late 50's environment isvery well re-created, and the moviegives a good flavor of what Swed­ish society really was like at thetime. Lasse Hallstrom, the direc­tor, is one of Sweden's best direc­tors and has won numerousawa~ds. This movie won him"Guldbuggen" (the Golden Bug),thehjghest award a movie can getin Sweden. It also received anacademy award nomination forbest film. Some of Sweden's bestactors<star in it, most noticeablyThomas v~m Bromsen portrayingIngenmr's uncle. T. vB. is famousin all of Sweden, most noticeablyas a comedian, but also for severalserious parts in other movies. Thefilm is. actually based on a bookwith the same title, which explainswhy the script is so strong. The di­alog is the original Swedish one,with English subtitles. The subti·ties are actually really good. Trustme, I know. I'm Swedish. Themovie is also available on video ina (worse) dubbed version. Be sureto set off some time Saturday nightto see this great movie!

If you were to pas by theCaltech courts late Tuesday after­noon, you might have thought LaVerne had brutalized the singlesline-up. Although six or so Beaverplayers were indeed icing somepart (or parts) oftheir bodies, fromelbows to shoulders, hamstringsand shins, this sight was by nomeans any reason to worry aboutthe marvelous capabilities of Tech'splayers to trample over those whoface them. Chiu, with another dis­play of Winning-Made-Easy, over­whelmed La Verne's top playerwith a quick 6-1, 6-2 wallop. Pang,playing against someone with less­than-perfect court conduct, stuck itto him in three sets, 3-6, 6-2, 6-2.Le also overcame a first set lossand won in three. Garza found nosuch barriers and proceeded to ob­literate his foe, 6-2, 6-4, whileFarnham took complete control androlled to a 6-1, 6-1 trouncing in his .match. Keny, dropping the first setto a purely dinking player, decid­ed it was best to show him how toplay real tennis, and pulverizedhim in three. La Verne brought twoadditional singles players, soFrances Ho and Chris Ho (no re­lation) had fun in slaughtering themas well.. With the second win in a rowalready in hand, the doubles lineupwas changed, allowing for sixmore Caltech teams to gain varsi­ty experience. The number onedoubles team of Mike Freeman andCheng$ong showed great form,high. intensity, and fine team playand forced the La Verne players allover the court. In a seesaw match,however, La Verne managed toavoid the loss, though not withoutextreme physical exertion in thegrueling three-setter. In the secondspot, Ng and F. Ho :'llso forced LaVerne to third set, displaying soundplay and teamwork, but came upjust short in the end. George Liuand freshman Sonny Arcilla,meanwhile, found themselves play­ing in third doubles spot andshowed great energy, though los­ing in twosets.

When all was over and done,however, La Verne just could notescape the superior forces of theCaltech men's tennis team. Theyhad come come with thoughts ofupset and glory; CIT sent themback with the knowledge that un­derdogs don't always win ... andsometimes don't even come close...

(On a lighter note, George,.upon hearing that he would beplaying, singly remarked, "I don'tplay doubles." Coach Mike Jack­son, always doing his best for theteam and his players, lightheartedlyreplied, "You do today.")

And the smiles and winning tra­dition continue...

Tennis Wins, Finally

THE CALTECH WOMEN'S GLEE CLUB

by ThunderChrisSpring is upon us, and tennis

season is in full swing. With daysgetting warmer and sunnier,Caltech's sensational men's tennisteam crushed and embarassed bothopponents this week, with a 7-2 an­nihiliation of Whittier on Saturdayand a 6-3 lambasting of La Varneon Tuesday.

In only their second awaygame, the Beavers journeyed toWhitier, one of the smoggiestplaces that side of downtown LosAngeles. By the looks of the teamshortly before warmup, it seemedthat this was more of a beach partythan a tennis match. With shades,radios, and thermoses (filled withanything from water to extra­strong Gatorade) around, the situ­ation appeared as if the Whittierteam was nothing to worry about.In hindsight, this was all too true,much to the dismay of the hostingteam. But once the matches got un­derway, the powerful Beaverswasted no time in proving who wasindeed superior.

Raleigh Chiu, in Tech's numberone spot, embarassed his opponent,blanking him 6-0, 6-0 with un­relenting strokes of all depths, arcsand spins. Not even a troublingshoulder injury could prevent Chiufrom extinguishing the Whittierplayer's hopes of upset. Dan Pang,CIT's number two, also butcheredhis opponent with ultra-intenseplay, putting him out of his miserywith a three set win. Anh Tuan Leand Hemat Keny also got into thesingles demolition act with three­set conquests of their own. DavidGarza and Lloyd Farnham,although losing to opponents whomust have drank liquid smog alltheir lives and thrive in bad air,played tough and strong, makingsure Caltech would (lot give uppoints easily. Even freshman ChrisHo, playing "transitory varsity,"found no trouble in decimating hisfoe with a quick two-set triumph.

In doubles matches, Le andPang wreaked havoc versus theirdoubles adversaries, tramplingthem in a 6-0, 6-0 conquest. Chiuand Garza mangled Whittier's #2pair in their three sets. In the thirddoubles match, Keny and JimmyNg found their opponents playingmysteriously well and were forcedinto a third set. Down 2-5, theWhittier competitors fought back toa 4-5, with two break points in theimportant tenth game. Yet eventhis challenge was handled by theTech team, as Ng's deep, well­placed serves were just too much,awarding the final set and match toCaltech. With its first team win un­der its belt, the team returned hometo face La Verne.

Is it'? ..welL it looks like, but...well, maybe ...okay, yeah, it's the PageInside World, which has been sort of missing from recent issues of this es­teemed publication, but is now back, by request, so enjoy it while it lasts.

What do you call a bunch <'Jt' guys glomming skanky women and a keg'?A Caltech party, of course. What do you call a bunch of guys glomminga keg') A Page house party. At least someone has their priorities straight.Once qgain, the Page Institute for the Study of Social Drinking (that selectbut highly respected organization which does not partake of alcohol but en­joys watching drunk people dance to Elvis tunes and pour beer on each other)has observed what appears to be a new fundamental force of nature, that ir­resistable attraction which draws unattended kegs of beer into the Page libraryand keeps them there until sucked dry or someone calls Todd up and says,'"Give back the keg, or else'" Another interesting observation: Dwight doesn'tlike alcohol unless you name it after him ("Here, Dwight, have an Iceberg.Have two. Hey. why don't you chase those with a bottle ofthis Dwight Zin­fandel here'? etc., etc."

Speaking of Todd, there was a big election last week, but since every­body (except for maybe Mark Schmidt) knew how that was going to turnout since maybe, oh, about Thanksgiving I don't see why I even botheredto mention it here.

Speaking of beer, it seems that some of you aren't practicing safe beerdrinking procedures, so here is a partial list of beer drinking procedures,in order of risk:

SAFE:Michelob DryPouring Beer on Healthy SkinSpilling Beer on a Man with a CondomThinking About BeerMaking Your Own BeerSpilling Beer on Your Clothes

Page2Somebody told me I shouldn't write this. Somebody might be embarassed.

I don't understand- if somebody has a wench, he should be proud of her.Otherwise, why is he wasting time on her'?

For those of you who haven't been upstairs for a month, I'm referringto Gary Eastvedt and his lovely wife, Ms. Pamela Mai Katz Rosten ReidEastvedt etc., etc. I'm now the Iess-than-happy owner of the only triple inPage House. And not just any triple, I might add- it's the ASCIT triple. Ibunk with nearly 25 % of the ASCIT BOD now. Scary, isn't it'? I quess I can'treally complain, though. Just because she tracks her bare feet all over ournew carpet. .. Just because I'm kept up til all hours of the night by their moaningnot during sex, but during Ma2 pity parties ... Just because I'm forced to enterthe lottery for an off-campus room (anybody need a roommate')) ... Just be­cause I didn't take my single when I had the chance and leave Brett Bochnerto deal with the lovely couple ...

No, I quess the only real reason I have to complain is that I have to ex­plain every single vibrator joke on Married With Children. Geez, you'd thinkif anybody'd know...

And who's Page House's second-newest couple'? C'mon guys. If DaveEmerson knows, none of you have an exeuse- not even the frosh. It makesperfect sense that noting his Christian beliefs and (until now) morality, Al­Ien would choos a woman with a name like Eve. But look what happenedto Adam when he made the same mistake! The two have been observed en­gaging in such questionable activities as under the table handholding and evennecking, leaving thousands asking that burning question ... Have Allen andEve been picking any forbidden fruit lately, or what'?

by Brian Fuller andPaul Socolow

In his first two independentfilms, Terry Gilliam closed the gapbetween reality and fiction. Hisnew film, The Adventures ofBaronMunchausen, continues this tradi­tion, but in a much more elaboratestyle. The story concerns the legen­dary Baron von Munchausen andhis adventures on the moon, in therealm of the god Vulcan, and in­side a giant fish all on the way tosaving a European city from the in­vading Turks. Here with thereview, are the California Tech'stop film critics, S. Kubrick and W.Allen.

S.K.: I'll start by saying I wasoverwhelmed by the majesty andgrandeur of the film. The sets,costumes, and special effects weremore than just impressive, theywere amazing. It's no wonder Gil­liam was almost fired because ofthe amount he spent on the produc­tion, but it was well worth it. Notonly is the movie enjoyable, witha well written and often humorousplot, but it is a feast for the senses.Think of your favorite Bugs Bun­ny cartoon and you get a felling forthe mood of the film.

W .A.: I'll have to agree withyou about the mood. Watching thefilm filled me with a childlike ex­uberance that I haven't felt foryears. I was at once caught up inthe mythical story, yet sitll able tolaugh when it took an absurd turn.Still, there is room for improve­ment. Perhaps Gilliam gave toomuch attention to the effects, andnot enough on the plot, whichlacked a deliberate point, unlike itspredecessor, Brazil...

S.K.: I'll have to stop you there,my friend. Surely, Munchausendoes not dwell on its theme like itspredecessor, but it does have apoint. The negative way the thecalculating, logical, reality-basedcity Commander is portrayed isevidence enough that Gilliam hada point. Just because he wanted tohave fun with the story, instead ofpreaching, dosen't mean the filmwas devoid of meaning.

W.A: You're really reaching tofind meaning, S.K. WHy don't youjust accept the film for what it was:a good time with no strings at­tached, nothing to think about af­terwards. It is a harmless adventurethat this reproter is going to givea thumbs-up to.

S.K.: Well, I definitely agreewith you there, an unequivocalthumbs-up from me, too. Well,that's all for this week,

BLOOM'COUNTY

by Mike Ricci"Where no computer has gone

before..." touts the press release forthe Computer Animation Show.The film opens with a collage ofcomputer generated film clips setto a rousing "electronic" version ofthe Mission Impossible theme. Af­ter the intro, the show consists ofa mixture of computer animatedshorts, collages of clips by com­puter animation companies, somedocumentary dialogue about com­puter animation, and some of theclassic computer animation se­quences.

The show contains a number ofquite spectacular and entertainingshorts. Metafable, by Tom Hutch­inson and Bill Sadler, is an eerie,otherworldly sequence of alien 3-Dcreatures that fly, jump, and swimthrough a Jovian-looking at­mosphere. One of the more hu­morous shorts is a joke futuristiccommercial advertising Botco,tomorrow's fuels, tomorrow'sprices. Finally, Dance ofthe Stum­biers done by Steve Segal on anAmiga 1000 computer demon­strates that millions of dollars ofcomputer equipment are not need­ed to make viable computer ani­mation.

Interspersed throughout theshow are documentary sequencesdescribing new breakthroughs incomputer animation and the tech­niques used to make some of themore outstanding pieces of anima­tion. In Walt Disney's The GreatMouse Detective, computer anima­tion was combined with standardcell animation in an unprecedent­ed experiment. The success andimplications of this new techniqueare discussed in the film. Also, theshow discusses how the computeranimated introduction to StevenSpielberg's TV series Amazing Sto­ries was created and what problemshad to be overcome.

Since computer animation canbe as costly as $3000.00 per se­cond, few peoplecan afford to cre­ate shorts purely for entertainmentvalue. Several computer animationcompanies have shorts in the filmthat consist of collages of computeranimated clips from televisioncommercials. Particularly notableamong these are the Benson andHedges commercials by Abel com­mercials. In these commercials onesees such things as a three dimen­sional stone statue of a gazelle turnits head and bound off of thescreen. The effect of seeing stonemove like flesh is quite impressive.

Finally, a number of "old clas­sics" that have already appeared inother animation festivals are fea­tured. Included are Red's Dream,a short about a unicycle dreamingof being in the circus, and Tony DePeltrie, a short about an over thehill pianist. Also featured is theLuxo Jr., a short about two animat­ed desk lamps that was enormous­ly popular in a previous animationfestival.

Overall, the Computer Anima­tion Show provides a very enter­taining and informative look atcomputer animation. It gives agood variety of clips, from abstractanimation to pointed commercials,from 1 second flashes to fourminute sequences.• Unlike otheranimation festivals, it also providessome documentary on the technol­ogy and technique behind some ofthe animations.

Ifyou are a connoisseur of ani­mation, or interested in learningsomething about how computeranimation is done, or simply look­ing for something to "veg out"while watching, the Computer Ani­mation Show is for you. The showis being screened in Baxter LectureHall on March 5, 7, and 8 (Sun­day, Tuesday, and Wednesday) at7:30 and.lO:OOPM.

The California Tech

by Laurraine TutihasiTancredi, the first full-length

opera by Rossini, was the LosAngeles Music Center Opera'srecent offering at the DorothyChandler Pavilion.

Although Rossini is best knownfor his comic operas, such as TheBarber ofSeville and La Ceneren­tola, Tancredi is a serious work,based on a tragedy by Voltaire.

Tancredi is set in Syracuse inthe eleventh century. As the operaopens, two local kings-Argirioand Orbazzano - are signing a pactending fighting between them inorder to fight the Saracens. Manyyears ago, Tancredi had beenbanished by Orbazzano, becauseTancredi has a claim to his throne.By signing the pact with Orbaz­zano, Argirio had to agree to Tan­credi's traitorous status. Argirioalso agrees to marry his daughterAmenaide to Orbazzano.

However, Amenaide is in lovewith Tancredi. Immediately afterthe fighting between her father andOrbazzano ends, she writes to Tan­credi, asking him to return to saveSyracuse. But there is no mentionof his name on the letter; only thecourier knows to whom the notewas to be delivered, and he isdiscovered and killed by agents ofOrbazzano. Amenaide is accusedof communicating with the leaderof the Saracens and sentenced todeath.

In the meantime, Tancredi hadsecretly returned from exile. Inorder' to protect his identity,Amenaide does not reveal that herletter was intended for him. Tan­credi feels betrayed, but asAmenaide's champion fights andslays Orbazzano. He then goes towar with Argirio against theSaracens and kills their leader. Hesuffers a mortal wound and, as helays dying, finally learns thatAmenaide has always remainedfaithful to him. They are marriedby Argirio just before he dies.

The plot is baroque and is cer­tainly not the strong point of theopera, but the music is good. Thecurrent production is conducted byHenry Lewis, husband of MarilynHorne, who plays the lead trouserrole of Tancredi.

Set designer John Conklin hascreated a simple but very nice set.H uses a stationary piece in front.Various rear pieces are used alongwith a changing series of drops.Good use is also made of lightingto indicate the place and time ofday. Tancredi's arrival on stage israther impressive: he arrives byboat. The only problem with the setwas a drop that got hung up on oneof the stationary pieces, creating ahumorous interruption to theserious mood of the work.

The costumes, designed byMichael Stenett, were gorgeousand sumptuous, especially those forthe women.

The performance was quiteenjoyable. The singing, for themost part, was quite good, particu­larly the finale of Act One, the duetin Act Two performed by Argirio(Chris Merritt) and Amenaide(Christine Weidinger), Amenaide'saria immediately following, andRoggiero's aria (sung by SharonGraham) in Act Three. Unfor­tunately, Marilyn Horne seemed tobe under the weather. Her voicewas weak and actually flat in spots.This was most noticeable in a duetwith Amenaide, which containedsome a cappella sections.

Despite the minor weaknesses,the opera was a success. The com­pany's next production is Verdi'sOtello, with four performancesscheduled between March 25 andApril 2.
