The Red Cross is attemptingto supply 100 per cent of theblood needed by local hospitals,so that no blood need bepurchased from paid donors whomay conceal health problems inorder to receive the money.Blood from such paid donors hasbeen proven to have a ten percent higher risk of hepatitis thanblood from volunteers, accordingto R. Allan Munnecke, Chairmanof the Red Cross Blood Programfor Pasadena Chapter, AmericanRed Cross.

"The only we can be sure ofgetting good helathy blood fromvolunteer donors when we needit is to volunteer to donateourselves to keep the suppliesadequate," the chairman de­clared. "Otherwise we may findourselves depending on bloodfrom commercial banks ... blooddonated by people wanting a fewdollars, some of them addictswho use the money for drugswhich they inject with dirtyneedles, increasing the chances ofhepatitis virus in their blood­stream.

Andthere is enough excitement to lethim (almost) forget about themhere. Any little pains or hungersfor love or happiness are drown­ed in the bustle of the Houselife.

The House life can seem sogood and fun that it seems morereal than real life.

Letters to the EditorsWhat Evil Lurks in the Houses

Along with the traditions andthe tales and the fun, there isalso a hidden evil in the Houselife. It is a very deep evil-deepand well-hidden-and everyoneshould be warned of it. Especial­ly new students, who can escapeit, should be warned. I was neverwarned; and I hope that I amnot writing this too late. Withthis evil, it is hard to tell when"too late" is..

This evil consists in taking theHouse life and traditions moreseriously than they are meant tobe taken. It appears in manyforms; in drawing a sharp borderbetween Caltech and the outsideworld, or between one Houseand another; in restricting one'sconversations to House life andstudies; or in feigning cynicismand weariness in order to appear"grown-up". So many Techerssuffer from it that to do so is to

.be normal; in fact, it is a kind ofideal. Emotions-both violent andgen tl e- are suppressed. Phil­osophical and religious questionsare ignored: "seen through." It isbest never to seem too trulyexcited about anything, andespecially never to seem joyful.The ideal Techer would seem tobe a joyless cynic, utterlycompetent, with loyalties only tohis House, his school, and his

.work.I know that I have sought

parts of that ideal, and Iremember something of what led.me to seek them. When I speakin the third person, it is becauseI do not believe that I amunique.

That evil comes, in part, fromthe Houses' being not altogetherbland. They are not dorms, andthat is good-necessary here,because of ~he academic pressure.

and too many of us have trainedourselves to feel almost nothingat all, all the time. Whensomeone commits suicide wemay feign sorrow (or we maynot) by trying to speak respect­fully of him. We may think,"How awful," and go to suicideseminars; but we really do notknow what to think or feel. Weare uninfluenced or we are takenaback.

Aside from the joylessness andunhappiness that this evil causes,there is something else. Scientistsare the upholders of a traditionthat values reason. The worldnow seems to be despairing ofrational thought. Superstitionand witchcraft are being revived(there is a book of spells in thebookstore). This does certainlysound pretentious; but, if theworld is not to become com­pletely barbaric, the ones whorespect clear thinking will haveto be concerned about the worldand about human beings. Tryingto be "ideal Techers" does nottrain us for that.

A good indication of thisspiritual freezing is Techers'reactions to death. I will tell ofmy own experience. A friend ofmine died when I was afreshman. I did not grieve. Infact, I did not feel anything,except some surprise. I wassurprised that anyone could die.Death, like the Pasadena Police,belonged on the outside, and didnot come on campus. It was an"important" thing, meant to betreated frivolously. And yet, ithad come on campus and wasasking us to take it seriously. Iwas taken aback.

Levis for big guys.

The Musica da Camera ofPragur was very en thusiasticallyreceived by a near-capacity audi­ence at the Ambassador Audi­torium last Thursday night. Thechamber ensemble demonstrateda fine balance and individualvirtuosity in six pieces from theBaroque era. The group iscomposed of the preeminentmembers of the violin, viola,cello, flute and oboe sections ofthe Prague Symphony, and theprofessor of harpsichord at thePrague Conservatory. The group'sskillful and sophisticated expres­sion had a mature richness ofsound, while the combination ofstrings and woodwinds enabledthe achievement of gaiety in theprogram.

The program opened withSuite in C Major by JeanBaptiste Lully. This is actually anoverture and five dances strungtogether. Although the flute andoboe were sprightly, the Over­ture, Menuet, and Rondeau weretoo much formula-Baroque withno real detailing of theme. Thelast three dances, however, fea­tured an intricate weaving ofmelodies with a beautifully ef­fective, and performed, counter­point between the wind instru­ments. This is apparently one ofonly two surviving chambercompositions of Lully's.

Sonata No. 1 in B-flat Majorby Georg Friedrich Handel, thenext on the program, opens witha very broad adagio which was'impressively supported by thequartet composed of the oboe,violin, violoncello and harpsi­chord.

Talent attracts talent; RickWakeman and Tim Renton haveprovided keyboards and leadguitar on Al Stewart's lateralbums. But he is also anoutstanding musician; not onlydoes he dazzle with the accousticguitar, but he holds his own onkeyboards and lead guitar insongs such as "Roads to Mos­cow".

His topics range from thehistorical to the autobiographicalyet, whether he is singing aboutthe onset of World War II ("LastDay of June, 1934") or personalarrogance ("The Dark and theRolling Sea"), he does so froman intensely h~man point ofview.

of the researchers in the field. Soif you question the controls, datareductio11 or maybe the sanityof psi researchers, you will findCharles Tart refreshing.

"Astral Projection of Con­sciousness" is an experience ofbeing outside of the body. It's anexperience of being physical­body-less, which is as real forthose who do it as it is for youright now.

If you're curious, there's abook in the library about oneman's experiences~Journeys outof the Body by Robert Monroe.

Most people dismiss astralprojection as light psychosis, butwhat do you say when a womanleaves her body, in a lab,experiences being in an adjacentroom, reads a set of randomnumbers, and brings them backwith her?

If 'a phenomenon seemsimpossible and "unscientific",maybe it does not reflect incom­petence or biasing on the side ofthe researchers, but rather thelimitations of our knowledge.Sometimes the richness of ourhuman experience does not seemto be explicaWe in terms ofneurobiology, chemistry, orphysics as we know it.

Not since the rise of BobDylan has such a promisingpoet-musician been seen in themusic world. Like Dylan, AlStewart began as a folksinger,but quickly evolved his owndistinctive style. He is a masterat synthesizing brilliantly con­structed melodies with poetry ofsurpassing subtlety and richness,producing songs which are betterdescribed as works.

In his own refined Britishway, AI Stewart is what Dylanwould be if he could sing. Whilehis images are as striking asDylan's, he is somehow morerestrained, and, in a way, morecultured.

There will be a Caltech Ypresentation on "Astral Projec­tion: The Out of Body Experi­ence," by Dr. Charles Tart,professor of psychology at theUniversity of California at Davis.on Thursday October 28, at 8p.m. in Winnett Lounge.

Astral projection may seemforeign to a place like Caltech Itsounds like something more inthe field of mysticism thanscience. Anyone who wouldresearch it would seem more likea "medium" than a scientist.And that isn't true at all. Thereare anumber of very goodscientists working in the field of'para-normal phenomena. Andone of the best is Charles Tart.

Charles Tart, after completinghis Doctorate in Psychology atthe University of Northern Caro­lina, has spent the last ten yearsas one of America's principalinvestigators in parapsychologyand transpersonal psychology.He's responsible for several booksin these fields: from Transper­sanal Psychologies to AlteredStates of Consciousness andStudies in Psi. He is a researcherwith a lot of integrity. I noticedthat one of the easiest ways toavoid the whole issue ofpara-normal phenomena is toinvalidate the scientific integrity
