Paper on "Water Supply Proble ms in the San ta Barbara Area" Takes First Place in Close Race With Stanford

J ohn Heath, Jr., gave Ca ltech good reason to be proud of its ASCE Student Chapter, as ,he captured top honors in the Student Paper Contest held as one of the features of the Regional Confer­ence of the California Sections of the ASCE, held in San Diego last Friday and Saturday, March 25 and 26.

This is the second year in a row in which the Techmen have brought back this priz,e, winning again in c lose competition with the

The Humanities Division is presenting a series of lecture· demonstrations of musical analy­sis. The series will begin Mon­day, April 4th, and the remain­ing lectures will be given on s uc­ceeding Monday afternoons. All will begin a.t 4:15, and will be held in Dabney Lounge.

The lecturer will be Mr. Wit­·bur Chenoweth, who has achieved an outstanding reputa­tion as teacher and lecturer. The series wiIJ begin with the theory or "logic" of musical form s, and then selected master­pieces of symphonic and sonata literature will be fully analyzed. Mr. Chenoweth will work at the keyboard, with some supplemen­tation I)y phonograph records.

Second Series The Humanities Divis ion is of­

fering this series to explore the extent ~nd intens~ty of student interest in this ,type of music study. A similar series was held last spring, but it is felt that n clearer indication of student in· terest is needed t han could be ga ined through the ea.rlier lec­tures. While there is no ideal hour for holding extra·curricular lectures of this type, a study of the schedule of Institute classes and labs indicates that Monday at 4:15 suffers from fewer con· flict s than any other daytime hour. It is anticipated that this relatively free haUl" will produce a lal'ge attendance, since many students have expressed a desire to hear lectures on music analy· s is presen t by a thoroughly com­petent individual.

Rowdies Choose House Officers

\\Tith close eleotions and run­ofTs the rule rather than the ex· ception, Ricketts men elected their new officers at the close of second term. Every office was hotly contested in an election which reflected strong interest in hbuse activities.

When the last ripple on the Physics Pond died away, the fol· lowing list became .official: Presi­dent, Bill Bradley; Vice-Presi­dent, Norm Schroeder; Secre· tary, Dave Durham; Treasurer, Jack Dyer, and Athletic Man· agel', Win Soule.

As the new term commences and the new officers take charge, everyone, regardless of his pre­vious preferences, agrees that the house has an able executive committee to guide it during the coming year.

for honors was a stiffer one this year than it was last year, and the delegation of ten men from the Student Chapter watched very pr'Oudly as John won the contest at the evening meeting of the entire Conference delega­tion, and was presentd the first prize by Dean Franklin Thomas, National President of the Ameri­can Society of Civil Engineers.

Who Dealt ,i This Mess

By Carl Fox

The National Intercollegiate Bridge Tournament results have been received . The top Cal tech team is the only one for which specifiC resu lts are available. Vic­to r van Lint a nd Al Cohen rate honorable mention in the West­ern Division with five "pa rs" out of a possible nine.

During the third term, with the exception of this week, this column will be devoted to dis­cussion of hands which were played in the Intercollegiate Tournament. These hands, it s hould be remembered, a re not dealt hands. They were set up to illustrate specific pOints of bid­ding and play which the Tourna· ment Committee considers im­pOJ'tant, Thus they particularly illustrate the principles of sound bridge.

The hands ar e set up in such a manner that there is a ';par" for each. That is, there is a eel" tain place in wh ich the hand s hould be played and a certain resu lt tha t s hould be achieved. I n the discussions the "pal'" list­ed by the committee will be giv­en. In addition there wi ll be a discussion of the recommended bidding and play.

But this week we deal with an opening bid which is often use­ful on a cel'tuin type hane!. It can be used to advantage on sev­eral of t he tournament hands. How many time,,; have you had t:he opening bid and held ::;ome· thing of this nature'!

The hand is not a good One No Trump. Neither is One Spade attractive. But the hand con· tains a good three honor count and should not be passed. Both the above bids f.orce partner to the two level for a reply and nei ther lea ves a good rebid.

A convenient method of han· dling such a hand is to open One Club. This bid is made, not be· cause of the Club holding, but in spite of it. lts merits are sev­era l. Partner may now reply in any suit or in No Trump and r eo main at the one level. Depend­ing on his action, there are sev­eral a ttractive rebids.

There is only one artificiality that needs to be in t roduced in to pa rtnership bidding to perm it th use of this bid. Partner must refra in from supporting opening One Club bids unless he holds fou r o r more Clu bs.

1 n case you are worried that pal'tner wi ll be disappointed in your Club holding, cons ider how pleased he will be with your high card holding. But, if he is a die­hal'd who views any bid of a three card su it with extreme hoI" 1'01', refer to it as a n optica l illu­sion. The deuce of Spades was

Despite charges of profession­alism, our hea viest h ilte r is still Ed h imsel f, with two homers and a two-bagger for four t imes at bat in the La Verne game. Merle Kam leads t.he regular team with a n average of .429, and Norman has pulled himself out of his initial slump with six hits for his last six limes at bat, to average .064 to date.

No serious injuries have oc­curred to date, a.!though Walt Pfeitrer and Jack Whi te have been laid up by accidents 'over the holidays. For a short time third baseman Morrison is out because of a skiing tumble and Bam Spaulding's a.rm may keep him ou t of the game for a few weeks yet.

this afternoon 's meet with Po­mona should be a walkaway for the Beavers , but, as usual, it ca n't be relied upon.

Hasn't he learned by now?!

Some very edifying statistics about alumnae were published in the Schmlpture not long ago, which on analysis yield some startling conclusions. First it is noted that 20% of the 1500 alum­nae of the white walls are un­married and of these occupations were listed for only 28. Surely my astute readers can deduce that 272 graduated Schmipps­women are without any " isible means of support. We also find

up well, taking second behind a very powerful Oxy squad.

This afternoon at 3:30 the var­sity and Frosh teams meet Po­mona in what promises to be a close dual meet, with Tech strength in the field events and the Sagehens given the nod in the races. The meet could go either way, but on the basis of previous competition, coupled with the Beaver's week of vaca­tion, we must call it for Pomona.
