If "Jug R." had sent you his col­umn as an anonymous letter, I findit hard to imagine that you wouldhave printed it, partly because itwas anonymous, partly because itsaid nothing at great length, andpartly because of its obscenity andtastelessness. As editors-in-chief ofthe Tech you will do a favor to yourstaff if you demand good writingfrom your authors.

Firm exercise of your editorialresponsibility to publish goodwriting will be appreciated by yourreaders. And it will give you a bet­ter base from which to resist cen­sorship when free expression real­ly does need to be protected.

happened. An ill-considered letterprovoked a measured and effectiveresponse. I feel sure that Caltech'sdonors and trustees are sophis­ticated enough to know that youthis a natural time to make mistakes,and that one of the functions of aneducational institution is to providean environment in which students(and others) can learn from theirmistakes.

Ron Goodman had the courageto sign his name to his letter,tasteless as it was, and as a conse­quence I believe that his lettershould have been answered (as itwas) but not suppressed. But I cansee no reason why you as editorsdid not apply a large red pencil tothe puerile drivel in "The InsideWorld" which appears in the issueof 17 October under the heading ofDabney and is signed "Jug Rap­papappanoppolopolis."

The quality of writing in "TheInside World" rarely rises to thelevel of a well-edited high schoolgossip column, but it is usually in­nocuous filler. Last week's column,however, appears to be a pro­vocative r.f. played on Dabney bysomeone from a rival house. If thecolumn really was an inside job,self-respecting Darbs should iden­tify the pseudonymous author andwash his mouth out with soap.

In my experience, DabneyHouse has sheltered some verygood writers. "Jug R." is not oneof them. Three and four-year oldscan get quite excited by words like"dog poop" and junior high kids areintrigued by the possibilities theyfind in initials like IBM. TheDabney columnist has become ex­cited in the same way by the word"fuck." He-for the author is sure­ly an adolescent male-should becharged with debasing the Englishlanguage. Fuck is a strong word ofgood lineage; while there are timeswhen it is just the right word fora given message, those who respecteffective writing should not allowsuch a word to be trivialized by anauthor who knows he is just takingup space. Too much space. "JugR." should be restricted to writing

I see nothing wrong with par­ticipating or not participating in thisnew-wave/rock scheme. Althoughsome Page personnel participatedfor their own personal reasons,most of Page didn't. Hopefully forthese reasons.

Let's say for a minute Page didlike Oingo-Boingo.(?) If we gotOingo-Boingo to play, it woulddraw a crowd of delinquents, whoprobably aren't going to collegeanyway, so why do we want themto know about Tech? So they canthrash our campus three times thisyear instead of the normal two (In­terhouse, 7-house)? Perhaps theidea may get publicity (however ill­fated), but a lot of Page personnelthought it not worth all-nightgrunge. Sorry, Slo-dik.

LanguageProblemsTo the Editors:

Your editorial of 17 Octoberaddresses the problem of printinglanguage and thoughts which someof your readers (including trusteesand donors) might find offensive.You conclude that in the future youmay practice some form of censor­ship, not out of editorial convic­tion, but because of your "healthyfear of the BOC."

I hope you will reconsider bothsides of that decision. I would liketo see you exercise more controlover what is printed in the Tech onthe simple ground that it is your jobas editors to produce a newspaperof high quality. At the same timeI trust that you will continue touphold constitutionally protectedfree speech, which should be pro­tected in the face of fear, healthyor unhealthy.

Earlier this month Ron Good­man criticized the South houserenovation in a letter which wastasteless, self-centered and lackingin common sense. In short, his let­ter was a mistake on his part.

The proper response to such aletter is for other members of theCaltech community to point out itserrors and to demonstrate that theauthor's position is atypical, indeedeccentric. Which is precisely what

I'm disturbed by Slo-dik's [sic]representation of Page [sic] at­titudes. Page is extremely campusoriented. Maybe in Adam's argu­ment with his friend, he shouldhave mentioned in contrast that alarge portion of the campus, in­cluding Page, doesn't show up forinterhouse sports because that por­tion is busy boosting campus spiritat intercollegiate athletic events.Once his friend has been shownthat the pride of Caltech can existin athletic and social events, notjust in acting like organizedgroupies (after all, those are theworst kind), we can get specific.

To the Editors:Slovik's attempted "proof' of

Page House's unspiritedness isunreal. In the name of campus uni­ty he insulted Page in order todisrupt a possible unity. Only theempty-headed hypocrisy of a buf­foon like Slovik could producesuch a lie.

Page House's spirit has neverbefore been doubted, because ofour strong support of inter­collegiate sports (Page is thegreatest source of intercollegiateathletes) and because of our leader­ship in ASCIT (over half of the of­ficers are from Page) and the BOC(a third from Page). It has general­ly been Page House's philosophy toparticipate in these campus-wideactivities which the administrationsupports, not in activities (such asname-band parties or traffic jams)of which the school or communityexpressly disapproves.

We have found that inter­collegiate sports and intra-campusgovernment are the most effectivechannels to generate a positive at­mosphere of community support,involvement and loyalty. Slovikdoes not value these activities, butthe snotty ignorance of [an expres­sion truly not suitable for print]need not deceive one.

are? Why do they only use officialWhite House statements as basesfor their articles?"

One possible reason for thiswas stated by Larry Speakes, whosaid, "You don't report it our way,you don't get the information," ac­cording to Bayer. The STRIVEguest said that reporters may beafraid to print the truth or lack theenthusiasm to go out and find it.

Bayer was alarmed at this stateof the American press. "If youaren't able to fight the Administra­tion on Nicaragua, (because youlack the information necessary) it'stime to forget about Nicaragua andworry about the U.S.," Bayer said."If you lack a free press, the nextcouple of steps lead to fascism."

According to Bayer, the move­ment which ousted Somosa in 1981is supported by about 95 % ofNicaraguans; the remainder are infavor of the Reagan Administra­tion/CIA-backed contras. The San­dinistas are widely believed to bethe most influential of sevenpolitical parties in the country. Thecontras are composed mainly ofmembers of Somosa's defunct Na­tional Guard; the Guard had areputation for randomly harassing,brutalizing, imprisoning, andmurdering citizens.

The movement which oustedthe Somosa regime in 1981 is stillconsidered by Bayer to be a revolu­tion because the vast changes in thenation's structure continue to beenacted. The elected president ofthe country's reportedly left-winggovernment is Daniel Ortega. TheReagan Administration is current­ly trying to get more funding forthe contras.

David Bayer received his B.S.from Bowdin College, his M.S.from Cornell University, and hisED.D. from the University of SanFrancisco. He spent two years inPeru as a member of the PeaceCorps and returned there for sevenyears as an educator. In July, 1986,he took two tours of Nicaragua;one with the Office of theAmericas, and another with theCalifornia legislature.

"They looked at land reformmovements all over the world anddecided that the small-enterprisesystem would be best for develop­ing their economy." The land own­ed by the government is tended byworkers who are used to seeing asteady paycheck from the Somosasand would not be able to deal wellwith needing to fend forthemselves, according to Bayer.

The speaker presentednumerous photographs taken insideNicaragua. Some picturedAmericans living there protestingU.S. involvement in the country;one of their banners read, simply,"Nicaragua wants peace." Otherphotos were of billboards thatdisplayed messages such as, "Theland is for those who work for it,""Guarantee law, health, and educa­tion," and,"We're free! Now what?"

The last of the above billboardsreflected the general sentiment thatNicaraguans consider themselvesfree. One man on the street toldBayer, "We may be a little hungrynow, but it's better than beingunder Somosa." Bayer explainedthat Somosa held a reign of terrorunder which people feared for theirlives and well-being.

The press is no longer com­pletely free of intervention inNicaragua. La Prensa, describedby Bayer as the propaganda arm ofthe contras, ceased publicationafter it continually breached truth.The paper printed "panic" articlessuch as, "There Are No Beans inNicaragua!" Bayer cited parallels inU.S. history when certain publica­tions were stopped for reasonsrelated to ongoing war.

Bayer called into question manytimes the credibility of theAmerican press on the situation inof Nicaragua. "Why does the presspresent only part of the issue? (Forinstance,) why don't the reporterstell who the targets of the contras

The Schmidt telescope is thenloaded with a 14-inch-square glassphotographic plate, clamped in aholder designed to warp it to aspherical surface, to eliminatedistortion. Each plate is coated withone of three highly sensitivephotographic emulsions which are"tuned" to react to red, blue, ornear-infrared light. To increase thesensitivity of the plates, aphotographic technician has flush­ed the plates with nitrogen andhydrogen gases, removing oxygenand water molecules from theemulsion, which reduce the reac­tivity of the plates to light. Thisprocess increases the sensitivity ofthe plates five-fold.

Once leaded, a plate is then ex­posed for about 60 minutes, as theSchmidt precisely tracks the sky byhoming in on a bright guide star inthe field. After exposure, the plateis immediately developed and ex­amined for quality and to discoversuch short-lived phenomena assupernovae, comets, and asteroids.

It was just such a first-look pro­cedure that resulted in thediscovery in August of a new com­et, dubbed Comet Wilson after itsdiscoverer, Caltech graduate stu­dent Christine Wilson. That com­et, as large as Halley's Comet, willbe visible with the naked eye in thesouthern hemisphere next April.

Each of the 894 fields to bephotographed in the survey­covering from the north celestialpole to the equator-will be imag­ed using all three kinds of plates;thus, astronomers with the full setof plates will have a catalog of theheavens at all three wavlengths.Because of the trails of overflyingairplanes, plate defects, or otherobservational problems,astronomers expect they will haveto expose two plates for everyonethat is finally accepted for thesurvey.

Thus, over the next five years,well over 5,000 photographicplates may be channeled throughthe telescope and into the nearbydarkroom. From these will comethe select 2,682 that will constitutean incomparable wealth of dataabout the cosmos.

Unfortunately we Americansrarely think about our liberty.

President Reagan caused anuproar when he used the phrase"evil empire" to describe the SovietUnion. Those who objected neverbothered asking whether the Sovietgovernment is in fact evil. Do weso easily forget shot down civilianplanes, massacres, oppressed Jews,Daniloffs, Afghanistans?

To admit that there is actuallyevil in the world implies moralresponsibility to correct them. Butit is hard to take responsibility,even when we have the freedom todo so. In short, it seems Americansrarely think about liberty thoughmany people in the world areobsessed with it. And whileAmericans live with liberty, manyothers die for it.

that the OWC is merely a feministactivist group. When queried, LeCoat countered that the OWC ismerely concerned with issues thataffect women. "There is a feelingof isolation among many of thewomen." The OWC is for womento support other women.

Undergrads are encouraged tofind out about the OWC-and notjust women. Even men need to beaware of "women's problems"because they usually involve socie­ty as a whole, not just women. Theproblem, Le Coat admits, is thatundergrads who would like to beinvolved with the OWC¥e also in­volved in many other aCtivities."They lack the time to attend."

One of these problems is cur­rently unavoidable simply becauseof the situation that exists. Thesmall representation of women inthe field of science naturally bringsattention to them. This leads to, asLe Coat puts it, "subtle forms ofdiscrimination." And along thisline, one day Le Coat would liketo see a world in which "neithermen nor women are aware of the.sex of their colleagues" becauseprofessionally it would not matter.With the current seven to one ratioamong undergrads, Caltech stillhas a long way to go.

Organization for Women atCaltech. But according to NanetteLe Coat, men can be involved withthe OWC as well as women, andthe OWC is looking for members,especially undergrads.

Nanette Le Coat is, accordingto membership director JanetJenks, one of the forces behind theOWe. Le Coat believes one pur­pose of the OWC is to providewomen "a group to share their con­cerns."

These concerns can range fromcareer pressures to sexual harass­ment. The group has been suc­cessful in providing a liaison ormediator between two partieswhere confrontation could prove tobe embarrassing or hostile. Thishas led Caltech to employ a HumanRelations Advisor.

The group is now working on"a place on campus for women tomeet" and where issues and infor­mation concerning women could beposted. As of yet they are stillworking with the administration.

OWC has also considered a"big sister program" to bringgraduate students together withundergrads. According to Le Coat,graduate students and women withcareers at Caltech have experiencein "The Real World" to share withundergraduate women.

The OWC also hopes to raisemoney for Haven House, a centerfor battered women. In November,they will sponsor their annual wine

AlltoOpenowe:"Last year we only went on onetrip - the combined tour with themen," sophomore Ann Lewis, vicepresident of the Women's GleeClub, said. "We went up theCalifornia coast, hit the wine coun­try and Monterey . We stayed in amotel in Santa Barbara and withfamilies at the two other places,singing in two churches and aretirement home. The people werereally receptive - they wereespecially impressed that Caltechcould produce such a wonderful,'arty' experience."

Although the Men's andWomen's Glee Clubs generally dopieces separately, they occasionallywork on major 4 or 8 part piecestogether.

"I think it works very well con­sidering the situation," Caldwellsaid. "This year we'll be doing 5fairly lengthy pieces together sowe'll be working together more.With the Vivaldi (one major piece),we'll be having joint rehearsals onWednesdays."

While the Glee Clubs haveabout 30 members each, theChamber Singers, a more exclusivegroup which requires that one audi­tion to become a member, has on­ly about 20 people.

"Glee Club and ChamberSingers are totally differentgroups," Caldwell said. "ChamberSingers is smaller and does a com­pletely different kind of literature.Chamber Singers is actually twogroups, too; there's a small groupwithin Chamber Singers who do aRenaissance dinner in the springand sing at the Athenaeum."

Nevertheless, in all their facets,the choirs obey the Caltechphilosophy towardextracurriculars.

"Caltech is unique," Mark Ber­man concluded. "It's the only placewhere you don't need to be a greatsinger to sing, a great tennis playerto play tennis. You can doanything."

get to work with so many people,"Don Caldwell, director of theMen's Glee Club and ChamberSingers, said. "Here, especially, it'sneat, because you get people fromall walks of the campus. You real­ly get a feel for the internationali­ty of Caltech: India, China,England, Canada, Greece. Oneyear we had people introducethemselves adjacently fromEngland and Argentina."

Students also enjoy workingwith the directors, although theycan be demanding.

"Monica's been here since thebeginning of Women's Glee Club;in fact, she joined Caltech verysoon after women were first admit­ted to the school," sophomore LisaLePome said about Monica Hub­bard, the Women's Glee Clubdirector. "She doesn't alwaysunderstand how much work thereis here; she doesn't seem to haveenough sympathy when you haveto stay up all night and miss GleeClub rehearsal. But she's very en­thusiastic and excited."

While time constraits posesome problem, most members findthat the time spent is worthwhile.

"I've only quit once," juniorPhyllis Pugh, librarian of theWomen's Glee Club, said. "Well,I guess I really didn't quit. I wasjust fed up and didn't have enoughtime, so I stopped going to rehear­sals. But I like music and GleeClub is the only music I can doanymore. I can't play the trumpetas well as I'd like."

In addition to working togetheron campus, the Glee Clubs taketrips to various parts of the coun­try and the world.

by Amanda Heaton"What, sing? I can't sing! I don't

have know how to sing! I don'thave time to sing!"

But, despite this reaction, over70 people participate in Men's GleeClub, Women's Glee Club, orChamber Singers. The Glee Clubsoffer a singing opportunity for peo­ple with little or no experil:nce.

"I felt like I should get involv­ed in something;' freshman ColinHowell said. "I like to sing, eventhough I've n~ver had any formalsinging. This is one of these oncein a lifetime opportunities whereyou don't have to be LucianoPavarotti to sing. So I thought, whynot?"

"Why did I joinT' sophomoreCarole Chang asked. "I wanted tolearn how to sing. I'd never sungbefore and here you don't need toknow how, to start."

In addition to allowing peopleto learn how to sing, the GleeClubs give humanities credit whileallowing people to avoid work.

"It provides a break fromstupid, tedious things like classesand studying," junior Mark Ber­man, vice president of the Men'sGlee Club, said.

The Glee Clubs also providesocial opportunities.

"At first it was a little difficultbecause you didn't know anybody,"Berman said. "But after a couple ofweeks of singing the same musicyou feel a sense of camaraderieand, well, patriotism toward theGlee Club."

The directors also feel thiscamaraderie.

"Choral music is kind of aspecial involvement because you

Blacker: Dabney last Friday was forced to see a sequel to their ownshow: "Inning From Hell II: The Black Side." Dabney expressed theirrespectful vassalage by handing us the football on a platter that Satur­day. That weekend also saw the finale of Summer's UnderworkedRegressive Flicks, and the inception of the Order. The Penile Emis­sion Team (PET) ambushed non-Upper P vehicles until one droppedoff the edge during the tussle. And Security thought that they wouldkeep us from getting wet ...

We of the House, and Church of Blacker, the two being one andinseparable, were blessed Monday night by a video-inspired vision ofMike "X" Rigler. The disciples, led by the Cardinals, Steve "Gumby"G6mez, Nathan "Stupid" Inada, Bengt "Thor" Magnusson, and Irene"Wench" Chen, ensured the obedience on the part of our new adepts;the rest of us ensured their wetness as they ran the gauntlet of the LoungeRun. Brad "Sprout" Scott made the rest of us green with Kaylor. TheMaster was still not appeased, and abducted his first two victims, Joe"Kurth" Reynolds and Fred "Honeydew" Mallon. He hungers for newinitiates, frosh. Meanwhile, the Pope is looking for a successor, andthe new Purity tests are out. Christina "31" Garden just might be thefirst Popette, having already surpassed Dave "Zoo Juice" Cole.

Last weekend at Lower ArroyoPark, the Caltech Beaver harriersaccomplished a team goal on theirown home turf. By sweeping yetanother quadrangular meet, theyhave assured themselves of a win­ning season. In so doing, each andevery member of the team made acontribution, running competitive­ly and intelligently on Caltech's hotand hilly home course.

Coach Jim O'Brien explainedthat he had assigned many of theathletes specific jobs they had to doin order for Caltech to win. Theteam focused its attention on CalState San Bernardino, a team whichhad demolished the 1984 and 1985CIT Cross Country teams. Lastyear, for instance, CSSB finishedfour runners before Caltech hadone cross the line up in San Ber­nardino. This was a soundthrashing and they brought essen­tially the same team to Pasadenawith the addition of one athlete whowas already running faster timesthan the other four. Caltechdefinitely had their work cut out forthem and it's a credit to the teamthat they arrived at the Lower Ar­royo Park with hard hats on and

over the summer. Coach O'Brienbelieves firmly that this additionaltraining and dedication has been thesecret to this team's success.

The race itself was highlydramatic and exciting. For the first1Vz miles Caltech's top four (Gehr­ing, Lee, Jensen andAthanasopoulos) packed togetheras a single unit while several CSSBrunners were stringing out ahead ofthem. Then it was time to start reel­ing them in, each athlete keying ona specific opponent. At the halfwaymark (2V2 miles), as the runnerspassed by the starting line, CSSBwas still in position to win the raceby three points. O'Brien was get­ting frantic, barking instructions toeach of the runners as they racedby, all the while calculating theoutcome of the race.

Being the finely tuned, highlytrained and tremendouslycoachable team that they are, it wasat this point that CIT dropped thehammer on CSSB.

John Gehring edged ahead ofCSSB's number one runner whileChuck Lee (30:27) also cracked in­to their top three. Meanwhile,Mike Jensen and AlexAthanasopoulos were straining toget ahead of CSSB's number fourman, which they finally did,finishing in 31 :00 and 31 :22respectively. John Beck and JeffWillis were cleaning the clock ofCal State's fifth man, completingthe 5.1 mile race in 32:16 and

32:23. Darin Acosta closed fast toround out the top seven with a timeof 32:57. Final score: Caltech 26,CSSB 30!

Other TeamsYou are probably wondering

about the other teams involved inthis meet. Well, we are going totell you anyway.

Pepperdine U. and MastersCollege were the other par­ticipants, but with the exception ofMasters' number one runner, it wasno contest. Phil Duncan of Mastersblazed this course as though heowned it. He now does own thecourse record after completing it in28:19. Additionally, John Gehringrecorded the fastest time ever onthe course by a Caltech runner ashe obliterated the old record by 24seconds, finishing in 29:37. Finalscore: Caltech 20, Masters 43 andCaltech 16, Pepperdine 47.

Several other Caltech runnersraced exceptionally well, runningas a second pack and finishing verystrongly. Ron Rogge (33:06), An­drew Stevens (33:09), Ted Sande(33:54) and Rob Grothe (33:41) allplaced ahead of Masters and Pep­perdine's number two runners.

The Women's TeamCaltech's women weren't near­

ly as successful as the men, butthey certainly raced their hearts outand took another victory overMasters College by default while

turning in some of their best per­formances of the year.

Over the hilly 3.1 mile course,Vicki Lane returned to racing aftera foot injury, to finish ninth in24:25, as Margi Pollack closed infast for eleventh place in a personalbest time of 24: 38. JaritaHolbrook, who was busy tying hershoe when the race began, playedcatch-up all the way to finish in25: 12. Closing out the scoringwere Christina Garden and BibiJentoft-Nilsen, who completed therace in 25:41 and 26:08 respective­ly. Christina has shown great pro­mise while steadily moving upthrough the ranks despite a latestart in training and a nagging ankleinjury, according to CoachO'Brien. Bibi has been a verysteady performer for us throughoutthe season and is only now begin­ning to scratch the surface of herpotential.

Closing out the top seven wereCarmen Shepard (26:45) and DeeMorrison (29:34). Dee turned inher best performance of the season.

Caltech was defeated 15 to 40by a very strong CSSB team, and22 to 30 by Pepperdine. The hometeam has been combating a seriesof minor injuries all season and, asof yet, hasn't had the opportunityto fire on all cylinders.

The FutureThis weekend, Caltech tangles

with Pomona-Pitzer (for the thirdtime this season) and Claremont­Mudd-Scripps at Pomona. Thiswill close out the dual meet season,as both men's and women's teamsbegin preparations for the SCIACFinals at La Mirada Park on the

first of November, and the NCAADivision III Western Regionals inSan Diego on 15 November. Staytuned for more Orange Crushresults.

Caltech's John Ghering set a newcourse record last weekend in theBeavers' race against PepperdineUniversity. The Beavers are in ac­tion again tomorrow at Pomona.

All-DayPolo

by R. MikasaThe Beavers played polo literal­

ly from dawn to dusk this weekend.At first they thought Big Clintwanted them there at 6:00 AM

China time, but at 6:00 AM Califor­nia time, they found their waythrough the darkness to the pool.No one got lost this week because,fortunately, all five games were atthe Caltech pool.

PCC, their first challenge, wasalso their closest game. Little didthe Beavers know that the firstgame of the tournament was theirchance to knock off the tournamentchampions. The Beavers trailedmost of the game, although theyhad a chance to tie it up in the thirdquarter with no goalie in the goal.However, "The Golden Choke"demonstrated excessive strength byhitting the side of the cage as hardas he could, and Tech fell 16-13.

Then the Beavers turned on fortwo victories against Chapman andRedlands, followed by the tradi­tional, celebrated victory naps.(The Beavers had been playingsince before dawn, after all.) SaidCoach Dodd, "Vince, you're aSENIOR."

The Chapman game was in­teresting because, by the end of thegame, Chapman' had only foureligible field players in the water.All the rest had been kicked out.The motto of this story is, "Don'tplay dirty polo against the Beaverswhen they're paying the referee."

Although everyone was veryexcited about the Riverside game,everyone was also very tired. Whatcan you say? The Beavers finishedthe day with a 2-2 record and thirdplace out of five teams, achievingthier most extravagant goals ofmediocrity.

The Beavers opened conferenceplay Wednesday with a disap­pointing loss to Occidental. What?You mean all those games they'veplayed don't count for squat? That'sright. The next four weeks arewhat make or break Beaver polo.

The Beavers start a tough roadtrip Saturday against Pomona­Pitzer. The current record is now8-10, conference record 0-1.
