However, with theappoin tment of Sinsheimer tothe chancellorsJup at UCSC, andSinsheimer's subsequent early de­parture, the committee's time­table had to be drasticallypushed forward. As a result,according to Dr. Horowit7, it wasno longer possible to consider anon-Institute person for theposition, since· any such personwould require tim~ to researchthe campus and the job. How­ever, having previously talked tothe Institu te personnel underconsideration, the committee alsoknew that none of them wouldreally be able to assume the Chairon such short notice.

shift towards electrical engmeer­ing and applied physics, and theresultant student to faculty ratio,are also among the concerns ofthe committee. According to Dr.Davidson, most of the facultybelieve that the recruitment ofnew faculty should be basedprimarily on the intellectualpronLise in various areas, not on(the shifting) undergraduate in­terests. "Therefore, any sub­stantial increase in the size of theundergraduate student body byfreshman admissions will result ingrea ter overcrowding of thepopular options."

One suggested way to conter­act this overcrowding of certainoptions is to admit first-yearstudents into specific options.The present committee believes,as did the 1972 Optimal SizeCommittee, that such a plan isunfeasible. The committee doessuggest, however, that Caltechundertake a vigorous recruitment

Thestory of th0 "Rose Bowl RF ,"that masterwork of pranksterismunsllrpa<sed (some would say) inTech rustory, was retold lastWednesday by one of the leadersof the plot. Dr. Lyndon Hardy,'62, of TRW, was brought tocampus by the Y for a well­attended noon discussion duringwhich he provided inspiration tofuture tricksters by recountingthe details of the scheme in avery amusing fashion.

By Henry Fuhrmann"The size of the undergrad­

uate student body should eitherremain constant or quite possiblydecrease somewhat." This is theconclusion that the Faculty'sOptimal Size Committee seemsto be approaching, according toits chairman, Dr. Norman David­son. In a preliminary reportpresented to Faculty ChairmanR. E. Vogt, Davidson describedhis view of the committee'spresen t findings.

The Committee has decided tolimit its studies to theadvisability of relatively smallchanges-e,g. minus 10% or up to1000 or 1300~ in the numbe r ofundergraduate students. In gen­eral, the belief is that the overallexellence of Caltech is related toits smallness, which is conduciveto close interactions between thevarious factions of the com­munity.

During the course of its fourmeetings, the committee hasaddressed the major issues thatalways seem to arise indiscussions of Caltech's size.Among these issues are thelaxing of the already strainedfacili ties (housing, athletic,health) and insufficient funds(for scholarships). Clearly, suchproblems will be aggravated bystudent body increases, feels Dr.Davidson.

On the other hand, a largerstudent body will result inincreased general budget fund"funds available for undergraduateeducation and improved facilities.

Changes in the graduate pro­gram in Social Science andvarious changes in the degreerequirements for Engineering Sci­ence were also approved at theFaculty Board meeting on Mon­day.

The requirement for theChemistry degree now reads:"Undergraduates are required topass Ch 14, Ch 21, Ch 41, andCh 90 and a minimum of fourquarters of laboratory workchosen from Ch 15, Ch 26, Ch46, and Bi 111. Undergraduatesin this option must also takechemistry courses below the 100level for a letter grade with theexcention of Ch 1, Ch 2, Ch 3,and Ch 90 ...."

In arldition, the freshmanreqUirement in Chemistry waschanged from three terms ofeither Ch 1 or Ch 2, to threeterms of Ch 1 or two terms ofCh 2 (nine units each term), orthree terms of Ch 41.

The requirement for a minorfor a PhD in Social Sciences waseliminated because of the factthat Caltech now has some SocialScience grads. According toDivision Chairman Robert Hut­tenback, when there were nostudents approaching the grantingof the degree, the HSS Division"failed to pay any attention tothe minor' reqlliremen t or rec­ommend its removal from thecatalog." However, since theminor requirement has beeneliminated in nearly all otherfielns, he requested that theminor requirement be removed,In view of the fact that theSocial Science Department nowhas several candidates approach­ing the completion of their workwithout a minor, the change wasapproved,

In their letter of May 13 theystated that the food shortageswere due to a widely variablebusiness. The shortages happenregularly. They happen becausethe managers do not buy enoughfood. By this time they shouldknow how much food to buy. Ican see no reason why themanagers can not get an adequate,supply of food.

Before my first letter to theTech the managers said that theloss of costumers was the reasonthey wanted to raise prices. Afterthe letter they came up with anew reason: inflation. Which arewe supposed to believe? I findinflation hard to believe at atime when food prices are goingdown.

In the IHC's discussion of theThroop Site plans long ago theproblem of "unofficial" walk·ways was raised, and I seem torecall hearing that any de factopaths would be acknowledgedwith flagstones or such.

Time passed, the paths woredeep, and B&G put up blockadesand replanted. The paths aroundthe blockades are now deep. Thethought of flagstones might bemy memory going, but it's stillan idea.

might consider CIT as theboonies even though he/sheregarded many of our H&SSpeople as individually good. Iillustrated my point by relatingthat on several occasions I havereceived letters which were rout­ed through Cal Poly Pomona orSan Luis Objspo. I might teasing­ly suggest that such blasphemiesso boggled the minds nf Techwritl'rs and/or editors that th~y

render"'d my commp.nts intosomething psychologically morecompatible with their worldview.

Finally, the article on theChairman search contains anincorrect claim that does adiss~rvice' to our present Chair­man, Bob Huttenback. The Techwrites " ... two years ap"o, whenthey were lonkin!! for a chairmanat the end of Dr. RobertHuttenback's first term, they hadno luck finding anyone from theoutside world." Absolutely false.Two vears ago Bob Huttenbackreceived virtually unanimous sup­port from the divisional facultyfor a second term. The quotedstatement is true onlY if it refersto seven years ago befor~ Hutten­back's first term. At the time H& SS was an undistingui~hed

pugnacious in print than theyactually were when spoken. Intwo case~ however, misquotationswere sufficientlv serious that therecord should be corrected.

First, the article notes thatCMU was interested in our entiregroup but imolies that Noll,Ferejohn and Fiorina were onlyinterested in stealing CharliePlott. Much as we love CharliePlott, we bear a similar affectionfor all our colleagues. What I saidin fact was that Charlie Plott wasthe only other person formallycontacted by CMU. Approachesto other members of the groupwere to await Noll's acceptanceof the Chairmanship of the CMUprogram, a contingen cy whichdid not materialize.

Second, the article on the'search for a Humanities andSocial Science Chairman containsa statement attributed to me, astatement to the effect that theDivision would have a hard timeinducing a nationally prominent

. scholar to take the chairmanshipbecause the social science pro­gram doesn't have the respectthat it should. Given that thearticle on the CMU episodequoted me several times to justthe opposite effect, somethinghas to give.

Bylaws Changes

THE ASCIT FRIDAY NIGHT MOVIE

The Summer ()f 'lf2

The Excomm has recommended, and the BOD hasapproved, amendments to the ASCIT Bylaws in five areas.These amendments will come up to a vote on Tuesday,May 31. We recommend a Yes vote on all of theamendments described below. The full text of the bylawschanges anpears on Page Seven.

I) The first change will make thl~ Teaching QualityFeedback Report an official ASCIT publication. TheDirector for Academic Affairs will be responsible for "theproduction, publication, and distribution" of the TQFR,which includes finding an editor if he does not wish to doit himself. The amendment will also make the editor asalaried position, to put it in line with the otherpublications. This is described in the fifth amendmentchange (below).

2) This change simply gives the Excomm the power tocreate or amend Resolutions to the bvlaws subject to BODapproval. This basically would make the present policyofficial.

3) This would require that ballots in all plections be castsecretlv.

4) This would provide for a hike in ASCIT duesamounting to a four dollar increase over four years. Thedues have remained constant since 1962, and inflation hasfinally caught up with the ASCIT budget. According to thecalculations of the Excomm, the prooosed increase willleave ASCIT $2000 in debt next Year, and $1000 in debtthe following year (both debts will be absorbed bv 1 \'<':1T'ssavings account). ASCIT will break even the next ye 1" andcome out $1000 ahead the following year. The dues willincrease one dollar per year for four years, avoiding theneeessitv of calling elections each vear to provide thenecessary dues hike.

5) This amendment will make clear the Excomm'sinteroretation of the bylaws concernin~ salaries of theeditors of ASCIT publications. All editors will be paidthrough ASCIT (rather than through the indivirlualpublication) anrl tHe Tech editors' salaries will be rai~ed

from $600 to $900 (split hetween the team), In addition,they will be naid each term rather than at the end of theirterm of office. All other editors will be paid "uponsatisfactory completion of the work." A system of bonusesfor work completed on time will also be incorporated.Specifically, the Big T editor will receivc $300, with a$100 bonus if the Big T is distributed no latcr than tendays after registration first term, and the little t and TQFReditors will receive $150 with a $100 bonus for on timedelivery (registration day of first term). For nublicationswhich are completed on time, the erlitors' salaries (plusbonuses) will staY thl~ same as their nresent salarieEo

went absolutely silent ... youknow, there isn't supposed to bea long silence on television." Thetwo (unaltered) stunts werecancelled. The only live picture ofthe occurrence was taken acrossthe field by a graduate studentwho had no foreknowledge ofthe RF.

Dr. Hardy said the first pub­lished explanation of the trick'appeared in the Times who saidthat apparently a large numberof Techers had got into theWashington card stunt sectionand convinced 2232 people to dothe feat. "Wish we'd thought ofthat," he said wryly.

Total printing cost for theoperation-Dr. Hardy showedthe lunch-hour crowd the billfrom the print shop-was $23.14,and campus-wide contributionsafter the fact covered it.

What is the difference be­tween an RF and a prank? Dr.Hardy couldn't say for sure, butthought it might have somethingto do with the makin8 of a hoaxin the former case. One thing heemphasized, though, was that thebest RF has little potential to doreal harm, and that the victimsshould be able to laugh witheveryone else.

gram" ("I'm from Dorsey ... itwas a perfect cover"), inter­viewed the Yell Leader at thehotel, thus discovering how thecard stunts were done and howthe card stunt stunt might beaccomplished. Back in the daysbefore computers were common,designing a card show was a verylaborious effort, beginning withlaying out the artwork onquadrille paper, which then hadto be "sorted and merged" ontoindividual instruction cards.

Some Techers "staked out theplace." When the room with thecard stunt materials was leftunoccupied, one student nickpdthe lock to get 'in--"This is apretty goorl lock ... this is aterrific lock'" On this occasion,the first of several break-and­enterings in the next few days,the plotters borrowed a sampleinstruction card from the middleof a pile, and took it to a printshop which could give them24-hour service on. 2300 copies.Unfortunatelv, the color of theresultant forgeries was slightlyoff-because the original wasfaded a little. Said the printers:"This is what you want. Wedon'l use bad stock here."

Back at Lloyd, a chemist triedto somehow fade or color thephony forms, but finally it wasdecided to go· with what wasavailable. The next task was thepreparation of 2232 instructioncards with the correct displaycard colors stamped in for all bu tthree of the stunts, numbers tenthrough twelve. These three wereto be altered slightly ....

Number ten was to be apicture of a Husky. "What's aHusky, anyway?" Dr. Hardyasked, "but a beaver withpointed ears?" On number elev­en, a "spell-out" of the teamname, some instructions werechanged to cause the spellou t togo backwards. And, on numbertwelve, it was decided to createthe famous black on white letters("there weren't too many colorTVs around") that spelled the"CALTECH" that was broadcastcoast to coast. The cards werespread out in Lloyd's: dinirrgroom, and on New Year's Eve,with a party going on in thelounge, about 30,000 colors andnumbers were stamped on thebogus cards. "The afternoonwears on ... the evening wearson ...." By late that evening,when the Washington Yell Leadershould be getting back from aDisneyland trip, it was time fordesperate moves: lots of peoplewent around stamping everyblank spot there was left withany color handy. "That's whysome of the stunts were prpttymotley."

Finally, the time came tomake th~ switch. Several L1oyd­ies returned to Long Beach andonce more nicked into the hotelroom of the yell leader. Lots ofadrenalin was flOWing then, re­called Dr. Hardy. "Picking alock--it's pretty hard to find anexcuse if you're caught: 'I lostmy contact in the keyhole?"

A long series of lucky breakspaid off, at last, during thehalf-time of the game. Afterwaiting a day and a half for thatmoment--not sure if their activi­ties had been noticed-theschemers saw, 011 the Page HouseTV a "Heaver- Busky?" appearin ' slot ten, and watched thebackwards spell-out happen asplanned.

No, but the fellow at the sailingticket control said I could pass\\lith the InterRail card. Just sellme a passage ticket. But I can'tsell you a passage ticket unlessvou have a sailing ticket. My

English-EnglishLondon is one of these cities

which should have been fencedoff as an historical reservationlong ago. Virtually every alley­way, doorway and brick wallcon tains a bust or plaque ofSome historical personage whowas involved in some fashionwith the spot. One of the morememorable is two blocks awayfrom the London Euston RailStation and reads "The House ofCharles Dickens stood near thissight." London is also the city ofEnglish-English. There, are noexits, only ways out. There is anunderground, neither a subwaynor a metro. Nor do the movietheaters have an admission price.They have inner and outercircles, regular and royal boxesand balconies all wrapped up in asufficiently baffling melange.Troll out the theatre map, figh tthrough the line and discoverthey're all booked up until aweek later.

Former Tech Editor-in-ChiejSandv McCorquodale is windingup d year of travel and study inFrance. His accounts of the pastyear's adventures appear hereregularly.

The McQ Saga is nearing itsend, as Sandy makes his way toScotland, the homeland of theMcCorauodales. The c01mtrv, hefinds, is composed of equal partssheep, rock, and bog (apparentlyall one needs to keep a Scotsmanhappy).

By Sandy McCrocodileAside from a channel crossing

from Oostende to Dover beingexpensive ($19), it is also boring.The boat cruises down thecontinental coast to Calais beforeturning out for the actual passageand winds up burning six hours,all the more frustrating when onesees the hovercraft (90 minutesfrom Calais to Dover) zippingpast full of tourists waving andsnapping photos. Nobody on theboat speaks English, of course.They're all German tourists. It'seasy to pick out the Dutchconversation from the German,however, as the Dutch sound likeGermans with herring caught intheir throats.

Then for the first ride onBritish Rail to London. Differentfrom what one might expect,though if one believes the Britishbuilt the railroads of the world,it is easy to feel why so mq,nycountries demanded their inde­pendence. At least it was a relieffrom the British immigrationofficials. Why are you enteringthe country? To shout obsceneIRA slogans, bomb pubs, rapewomen and terrorize children.How long will you be in thecountry? Until U.S. bookstoressell out of Uris's Trinity. Howmuch money do you have'? Threeforged Swiss passports and agenuine Hell's Angels Californialeather jacket. Do you have aticket back? Only a ticket toride. May I see it please?

Dr. Horowitz has been withCaltech for most of 41 years. Hefirst came here as a grad studentin 1936, and received his PhD in1939. During the early forties heworked at Stanford with Dr.George Beadle, doing research forwhich Beadle would later receivethe 1958 Nobel Prize. Hereturned here with Beadle in1946, and has stayed here eversince.

It was an early interest inbiochemical engineering that firstled him to study with Beadle therelationship between genes andenzymes in mutations. This laterdeveloped into an interest in theprocess Df evolution, and ulti-

mately in the origin of life itself.Therefore in the early 60's heworked at lPL on an advisorycommittee to NASA when theywere beginning their interplane­tary programs. He con tinu~d towork with NASA on the Mariner6 and 7 flybys of Mars. In hislatest l\IASA job, he has headedthe Bioscience Section at JPL,which designed the gas chromato­graph .and mass spectrometeranalysers for Viking I and II, anddeveloped one of the threelife-detection experiments alsosent to Mars.

Then afterputting away steak and fritesimmaculately seasoned by thewarm sun on the sidewalk table,between quaffs of frosty-muggedAlsatian beer and while watchingkaleidoscopic silks and pastelsswirl past, one finds oneselfadrift on the intangible exquisitemagic Paris is, and only ascientific cad would need adictionary to know the meaningof elan. But I've run on a bit,since nrose is to Paris ashexalJons are to henz"ne: onemust exnerience it to know it.Just zip on over to the registrarand ask for some of that greenpapyrus ....

EI Boracho NadandoSome of you Hans fans out

there have been asking whateverbecame of our alcoholic anti-heroand now you shall have yourpeace. After the Saturday morn·ing exams (instructi<j.1S read inEnglish by an Indian with anincredibly abstruse accent) and aday of bopping around Paris, Ihad a rendezvous with Hans(where clse?) beneath the Eiffeltower; date, time, and placehaving been selected many weeksprior in the best CIA fashion.He'd gone to Barcelona when I'dleft Strasbourg and arrived therein the midst of a painters strike.The pain tcrs in the train station,tha t is, and they were busynicking brushfuls of paint fro thescaffoldings on to the people onthe platform. The platformpeople were throwing back what­ever could be lifted and a cavalryunit of the Guardia Militariacantered onto the platform iustas he stepped off the train.Weavilw his way through theensuing melf':e (I made a lot ofsaving throws ... ) and utteringphrases appropriate for suchoccasions, he finally reached thecomparative calm of the streetswith a paint-bespattered bag andsome gifts from thp cavalryhorses stuck under one shoe. Athome, however, his parents hadgone to Switzerland, leaving anote to the effect that the housekey was at the bottom of theswimming pool. Thus in thatstate of lessened consciousnessinduced by two straight days ofriding trains, el boracho volandobecame el boracho nadando,replete (he says his exhaustionwas such) with shirt, pants,boots, and coat.

The Inner HebridesThe nex t day, I made the

ferry crossing to the Isle of Skye,in the Inner Hebrides, andthereby passed into the land ofmy ancient ancestors. The Hebri­des themselves are composed ofroughly equal parts of bog, rock,and sheep. The resourceful He­brideans dry the bog, use it tobuild houses on the rock, andlive off of the sheep's wool. Theweather is a staple diet of wind,rain, and hail, none of whichaffect the sheep's placid gr~zing.

The tnpic of returning toone's motherland has been a bitoverworkerl in thpse post-Rootsdays, but I'll tell you the biggestthrill for me. If I say McCorquo­dale in the states or virtuallyanywhere else in the world forthat matter, people give pleasantuncomprehending smiles, misspellit, mispronounce it, and offertheir consolations. At least whenI say McCorquodale in theHebrides everybody recognizesthe name, knows how to snell itand pronounce it, and knowssomebody else with the same lastname. Indeed, I hopped a ferryon the other side of Skye andmade it out to the OuterHebrides where there is an islandfull of McCorquodales. That'srigh t, thousands of us living on aNorth Atlantic isle. And youthought one was more thansufficien t for the world as weknow it ....

Of course, the only thingsthat can endure living out therewith them are the sheep, therock, and the bog. I missed theopportunity to test my ownendurance as I had a pressingappointment with some of thoseETS beasties.

Ah, to be sure, Imaintained my detachment bychanting the Woodward-Hoffmanrules of arbitral symmetry while.strolling down the Boulevard St.Germain in the heart of theLatin Quarter, but I lost it allwhen I turned into the BoulevardSt. Michel and was whisked alongby the crowds of sensuous andstylishly arrayed French women.And thus for several days I lostmyself on the streets of Paris,breakfasting on cafe and crois­sands before walking the lengthand breadth of many manyarrondisements, the seeking eyecontinuously rewarded in sightsof culture or sensuosi ty.

CURRICULUMCHANGES

Continued from Page Onedegree requirement for 54 unitsof elective courses and elimina­tion of the elective course list,substitute a set of specificrequirements for MS in Com­puter Science and require facultyapproval for MS programs in theother two groups, eliminatespecific requirements for math­ematics courses for the MS andPhD degrees for BioinformationSystems and Computer Science(substituting requirements forapproval of courses by thefaculty groups concerned), anddelete the statement that foreignlanguages may be taken as asubject minor (since the Humani­ties and Social Sciences Divisionhas not allowed this since 1973).

Continued from Page Oneof of Junior transfers in selectivefields from the California Com­munity College system. In thisway, modest increases in under­populated options would bepossible.

The present committee alsoagrees with the 1972 committee'sfindings concerning diversity:that is, an increase in the numberof undergraduate students willnot contribute significantly toincreased diversity among therri.As long as the present admissioncri teria (which are basically de­termined by the requirements ofthe Caltech curriculum) are used,any additional students admittedwill be more or less like thepresent students.

So far the committee hasencountered, in Davidson'swords, "a persistent tone ofdissatifaction with the quality ofundergradua te student life and... education." Davidson feelsthat inquiries into matters suchas student body size tend toattract a non-repesentative sam­ple of negative responses. Thecommittee has not obtained arepresentative sample (whateverit might be). None the less, suchstrong negative evaluations arevery likely real.

Many of these negative evalua­tions are not new: large classes,the "anti-intellectual" atmos­phere, stain due to rigorouscurriculum. "I have heard themduring most of my thirty-yearcareer at Caltech," said Prof.Davidson. One most logicallyconclude that the complaints,however valid, are not primarilydue to the recent increase in the

.. number of undergraduate stu­dents. Still, any defects fromwhich these compaints arise willbe aggravated by an increase instudent body size.

I t must be emphasized herethat the report is only pre­liminary and represent Prof.Davidson's views of the OptimalSize Committee's findings. Theother members of the committeehad not yet (at present) read thereport.

In any case, Profs. Davidsonand Vogt wish to encourage allinterested faculty and students todirect opinions to the committee.Feedback to the committee isextremely valuable.

The present committee mem­bers are: J. Bercaw; R. Dean; D.Kevles; F. Humphrey; R. Gomez;D. Morrisroe; W. Schaefer; F.Shair; L. Silver; J. Strauss; D.Wood, L. Bonner; T. McDonnell;E. Rea; and B. Wells.

By Tommy TrolljanDue to an interesting rule

allowing one member from eachteam to compette in eachDistrict event, many members ofthe track team got to see districtraces, instead of just th~ 440relay team, which had a tim~ inConference Finals good enoughto qualify it for District.

District III contains rougWy19 schools from the southernCalifornia area, including Occi­dental, the new district champ,Pomona.Pitzer, UCSD, and PointLoma, district runner-up. Thisyear, Coach Leroy Neal ofCaltech was the manager of themeet at Redlands.

The 440 relay team tooksome bad handoffs and fared illwith a 44.8. Rob Bourretdespite many injuries this season:came through with a fine 4: 10.81500 meters. This meet wasparticularly interesting for al­though it was also at Redlands, itwas at night--the different timeand conditions sometimes hurts,sometimes helps a runner. Muchlater in the night, Brett VanSteenwyk, hanging on at theback of the pack behind JohnArmstrong's burning pace (he rana 4:27 mile and a 13:52 3-mileon his way to a 14: 19 5000meters) came up with a 15:475000 meters. Armstrong, ofPomona·Pitzer, also ran a 3:451500 m the next day.

For the district events onSaturday, Caltech put NormMurray in the 200m and GregBlaisdell in the high jump. Normwas unplaced in the 200m
