election procedure, ASCITBOD will also be presenting thestudent body with some changesto the requirements for BOC Chairand BOC Secretary (see relatedi:U LII.;U:'J. These changes are merelychanges on paper that are alreadyin accordance with present prac­tice-traditionally, thepositions ofBOC Chair and BOC Secretaryhave been filled by those who hadpreviouslyseIVed on the BOC, butthe BOD felt it was necessary tocodify the requirement in the by­laws. Basically, the BOD felt thatsomeone supervising the execu­tion of the Honor System shouldhave & real working knowledge ofthe BOC.

The last change, which includesthe Dean ofStudents and Directorof Residence life in the BOGscollaboration policy, is similar, inthat the BOC has had to consultwiththe Dean andthe DRL inpastcases. To avoid confusion or mis­understanding, it seems best tostate the BOGs right to these col­laborations explicitly.

These bylaw changes will bevoted upon by the entire studentbody in less than twoweeks. Pleaseread the related articles in the Techfor a better grasp of the proposedbylaw changes.

After careful deliberation andhours ofdebate and argument, theASCIT Board of Directors hasabandoned the original multi­election, cross-off-basedsystemfora Single-election preferential­ranking procedure.

In the new system, the voter isallowed to rank any or all of thecandidates on theballot,pluswrite­ins. To interpret election results,the election committee will set uppiles ofballots, one pile per candi­date, which will include all thoseballots that ranked that candidatefirst. The smallest pile is then dis­tributed among the other pilesaccording to the next highestranking on the ballots. This pro­cess is continued until there is aclear majority.

In effect, the voter has voted insubsequent elections by rankingthe candidates on the ballots-noother elections are necessary. Thissystem eliminates the day-to-dayfluctuations in voter turnout andbackground noise associated withmultiple runoffs. In a nutshell, thissystem maintains some ofthe goodpoints of the last system while dis­carding some of its less desirableaspects. The voter can still vote"NO" and can still express a pref­erence, but election by pluralityand the circle and cross-offsystemare eliminated, hopefully mini­mizing strategic voting.

on campus. This sign made a hos­tile and derogatory sexual refer­ence to a female Caltech profes­sor. Although the professor wasunaware that the sign had beenposted (she tells me that she tendsnot to notice expressions of im­maturity), it was nevertheless ex­tremely disturbing to many stu­dents in the class.

For a number ofreasons, I urgethe one or two students on campuswho did this to please refrain fromdoing so in the future. If it wasintended to be funny, it was not.Anonymous insults rarely are.Secondly, Caltech is legally andmorally bound to provide a non­hostile work place for all students,staff, and faculty. Thirdly, it is ashame to have such things like thisinterfere with the ability of stu­dents to concentrate on theirstudies. Caltech is already hardenough.

A major reason why I decided toaccept the position ofDean ofStu­dents last August was the high re­gard in which I held Caltech stu­dents. Over the past year, my re­spect and admiration for the stu­dents I servehas growneven more.I am constantly amazed by thecourage and integrity they exhibitin a challenging and sometimesgrueling environment. I was alsoreminded on Ditch Day of theunbelievable amount of creativityand ingenuitythatCaltechstudentspossess.

I was thus saddened and disap­pointed a few weeks ago when astudent brought to me a sign thathad been posted in a lecture room

[Editor's note: Forparl ofa DitchDaystack, severalundergradswereasked to constructa parachute, at­tach it to a rat, and drop the ratfrom the top of Millikan Librarywithout killing the rat. The ratsur­vived the drop without i~ry.]

I was appalled and disgusted atlearning that the students atCaltechwere using animals in sucha cruel manner aswas shown in thefront page article and photo in the5/14193 edition of the PasadenaStar News. I don't believe thatanyone at a respected institutionsuch as Caltech should be encour­aging this kind of behavior, espe­cially as part of a long-standingtradition. Dropping live animalsfrom a nine-storybuilding for "fun"is a far cry from using laboratoryanimals to prevent or cure disease.The fact that the animals used inthe Ditch Day prank were un­harmed is beside the point. Thereis no excuse for cruelty. If this isthe manner in which Caltech stu­dents are being prepared as lead­ers, I fear for our future.

SECTION 7 deals with the varioussituations in which a tie can occur.This bylaw is comprehensive-asevidenced by its length-but itpromises to avoid the uncertaintypresent in the old system when atie occurred. The old Section 7 hasbeen moved to Section 9.

SECTION 8 is a combination oftheold sections 8 and 9. The Elec­tion Committee has been given anadditional day to count the votesbecauseofthe increasedworkloaddue to the Ranked-Preferentialsystem and in order to avoid rush­ing, which led to the IHe Chairmistake last term. The deadline forprotests has been extended to givemore time for individuals to pre­pare protests. In addition, a validand final clause has been added inordertoavoidchangesto the resultsweeks after the electionhas ended.

SECTION 9 is the old Section 7,with repetitive wording removedandreplaced. There arenochangesin the substance of this section.

SECTION 10 is unchanged fromthe old bylaws.

SECTION 11 is unchanged fromthe old bylaws.

SECTION 12 has had some word­ing shortened, but it remains es­sentially unaltered.

ARTICLE VI-ExecutiveCommittee

This change results from themove in Article VIII of the oldSection 7, which is now Section 9.ARTICLE Xll-Committees

The Manual has been introducedto provide suggestions and guide­lines for the Election Committee.Experience gained by previousCommittees would be recorded inthis Manual, and a large portion ofthe document would be dedicatedto dealing with finding and pre­venting clerical errors.

ARTICLE VIII-Elections &Procedures

sECTION 1 covers nominationprocedures. It remains essentiallyunaltered from the old bylaws; theonly changes are punctuation-re­lated.

SECTION 2 sets the day of theinitial election. The clause de­scribing a final runoff election hasbeen removed as it no longer ap­plies to the proposed system.

sECTION 3 covers ballots boxes,absentee voting, and error. Thetimes of the election have beenmoved one hour back (from 11:00to 10:00) to give the ElectionCommittee more time to countand to allow people to vote earlierin the morning. Guidelines on theballot boxes have been slightlymodified to allowthem tobeplacedout earlier than 10:00 A.M., as longas they are placed in all sevenhouses at the same time. A defini­tion of error has been added, anduse of it is made in later sections.

sECTION 4 gives voter qualifica­tions. The one voter, one ballotclause has been added, and thevotinginfonnation fonnerlyin thissection has been removed.

SECTION 5 covers the guidelinesthat voters should observe whenmarking their ballots. The sectionis totally new and is specific to theRanked-Preferential system. Seethe sample ballot to see how thissection will be implemented.

SECTION 6 gives the proceduresto be followed by the ElectionCommittee in detennining thewinner. See the ElectionChairman's statement for an ex­planationofthecountprocess. Likesection 5, section 6 has been writ­ten specifically for the Ranked­Preferential system.

Because of the special nature ofthe offices ofBoard Chainnan andSecretary, previous experience inBoard of Control pr()cedures andmethodology is very important. AChairman or Secretary unfamiliarwith the workings of the Board ofControl will be significantly lesscapable of carrying out the dutiesofthe office. In recent memory, allChairmen and Secretaries havepreviously served on the Board ofControl, but again, it seems best torequire this in a bylaw.

Dean Kiewiet expressed some concern over whether media shouldbe invited to Ditch Dayand wanted some sort ofinput from the BOD.Apparently a radio station announced Ditch Day the day before thereal date. In addition to the radio station spoof, things to consider areliabilities and the negative andoffensive nature oftheportrayalofTechstudents by the media. General consensus: no media should invited.

Dean Kiewiet is also looking into the legal feasibility of using theASCITvan as an airport shuttle on the days immediately fonowing theend of the term.

Sign-ups for the SURF Advisory Committee will go up soon. Theonly requirement for being on the committee is previous SURFexperience.

Election procedures: In case of absolute deadlock between twocandidates, the BOD feels that a duel to the death on the Olive Walkwould solicit a pretty good voter turnout.

In some exceptional cases, theBoard of Control is not the bestgoverning body to handle thingsexpediently or efficiently. Ex­amples of such cases may includethose involving sexualharassment,extreme violence, students onleaves of absence, or infractionsinvolving both graduates and un­dergraduates. In such instances,the Board may deem it necessaryto enlist the help of other offices,such as the GRB, the Dean, or theDRL, and it seems best to explic­itly state this in a bylaw.

Urinebut because they manage to coverawide range ofmusic, unlike manybands whose covers dwell strictlyin the domain of metal or pop.Instead of attempting to find andcover songs that are near dones oftheirown style, Blewchoosessongsranging from hard core to obscurefolk and post-modern. For a bandwith so many aliases, they have avery defined sound.

Stale Urine also played at BDR,although their show was cut shortby time constraints. They decidednot to play the ever-popular "TheThird Rail", insteadplayingseveralnewtracks. Stale Urine isnotnearlyas polished as Blew, but that'sprobably intentional. The StaleUrine lineup is Mike Benedetti onaccordion, Chris DuPuisonrhythmguitar, Jon Lange on lead vocalsand accordion, Mike Radford onwastebasket, Kurt Revis on elec­tric guitar/drill, and Adam Villanion large chunks of metal.

One ofthe band's most interest­ingsongswas"MusicinTwoParts,"by Adam Villani. John Cagewouldhave liked this minimalist piece,playedwithvarious carparts. All ofthe songswritten bythe bandwereenjoyable, although the coversweresometimes strange.Thecoverofthe Go-Go's "HeadOverHeels",for instance, was about as impres­sive as the original song. "ThingsFall Apart" had great lyrics, and allof the songs were impressive con­sidering that the "instruments"usedprobablyhave a total range ofabout two octaves.

Due to time constraints, Annechose not to review the MilkhouseVandals or The Ninth. The editorswould like to mention that TheNinth played a tremendous set. Asfor the Vandals, any band withXeno in it can't be bad. Hey, theman's got atmosphere.

Triathlon Results

Last Saturday, Blacker Housewas infiltratedwith four localbandsat BDR. One of the more recentlyformed groups was Blew, a.k.a.Bleu, or Blue, formed last Octoberby Rob Cresswell and Josh Dyer.The members of Blew think oftheir music as beingalong the linesof folk rock, although they havestartedto develop aharder, sharpersound. Their Caltech debut was atDabney's Drop Day Party secondterm, and they had previouslyplayed at the E-Bar. Blew is com­prised ofFred Caldwell on drumsand guitar, Andrea Cavalluzzo onvocals, Rob Cresswell on guitarand drums, Josh Dyer on guitarand backing vocals, and HeidiHoferon bass, with manager DaveLiney and engineering assistancefrom Trylren. They are currentlysketching outa polisheddemo andworking towards playing at othercolleges.

Blew's recent, hardersounds areespecially impressive. Three high­lights are"I Blame Myself," "Blew,"and "Bruise." "I Blame Myself'has strong melodic vocals by An­drea Cavalluzzo, and an intricatebassline written by Fred CaldwellandplayedbyHeidi Hofer. "Blew"is theirhypnoticchoice for a themesong, with its tribal style and solidstage performance. "Bruise,"written byJosh Dyer, is a new songwhich shows all ofthe strengths ofthe band's trend towards faster,more defined beats.

Blew has recently landed a gigplaying in front of Winnett (be­tween the Yand the bookstore) onFriday, May 28. Expect to heartheir own Huid tunes, with a fewcovers thrown in. Blew's coversare always well received, not onlybecause they are performed well,
