"A Woman is a dish for th'egods•••"

The. reporting of the comingsand 'goings of Techmen, as re­corded by the everfaithful Beakin his wanderings about campuswith a notebook and an eaves­dropping ear, has become a tra­dition in this newspaper whichfrom time to time needs to bejustified. As one dear departededitor once put it, "We print theonly college newspaper with ahigh school gossip column." Tocompare this column with a highschool gossip column is certain­ly an insult to high school gos­sip columns. But really, "Cam­pus Brewins" simply tries totell what has been brewed oncampus r,ecently, and serves as ageneral recorder of hard luckstories, tales of cruel heartedwomen, and miscellaneous ob­servations.

Mammoth storyA few of the Rowdies enjoyed

Thanksgiving at Mammoth.Quoting Bob Gelber: The women'were terrible. Dick Jali pulledthe big booboo of the trip as his"Mammoth jinx" worked for thesecond year in a row. At thebeginning of the trip Rats A.Johnson told the troops not toforget anything. Jali laughedaloud at the childish advice, butupon unpacking at the trip's endhe discovered . . . Beak's note:Don't go to Mammoth unless youbring your skis.

The frosh Phoenix group atthe northeast house had, beengetting along grandly during thefirst term. Ironically, however,along with Thanksgiving came acouple of "Dear John" lettersfrom the PhoeB.ix contingentof faithful women. Curiouslyenough, Van Kirk and Mitchellnow have "I hate women" signson their doors.

A surprise incidental item: C.T. Elliott did homework overThanksgiving.

Last year Lukewas the main exponent of taking14-year·old women out, but weguess being a football player haschanged his outlook. At Mam­moth the "kid" was actuallyseen with a 15-year-old. Well,we all have to grow up some­time.

LITTLE MAN ON CAMPUS by Dick Bibler

~~~7Ir~

To our visitorsFrankly, high school students, Caltech is showing off to

you, and we hope you like it.We hope you're impressed when men like Dr. Beadle, next

president of the American Association for the Advancement ofScience, chats with you on biology, when Dr. Feynman, prize­winning theoretical physicist, entertains with stories aboutmolecules, or when numerous other lecturers display the won­ders of science. We've lined up our top talent, and dusted offthe scientific showpieces with the most chromium, flashinglights and gadgetry.

Enjoy the show, and soak up all the glamor of these greatmen, but as you do so, realize that love for science and respectfor Caltech lies deeper than a fascination for moving gears. Wehope those who come here considering a career in science willgaze through the stage lights and make·up to see the real chal­lenge of science or engineering at Caltech. Sure, Tech is filledwith pretty spectacular research, but the undergraduate is moreconcerned with absorbing the fundamentals of his profession,as well as with the process of maturing through all-importantcollege years into. a respected member of society. To us hereat Tech, the experience is a mighty challenge and an excitingexperience.

Although Students' Day at Tech can't reveal all this to avisiting high school senior, it's our friendly way of invitingthe qualified student to consider our school for the next stepin education.

Athanaeum parking"When it rains, it pours." At least so it seems concerning

the parking situation at Tech. Our campus has been swampedwith cars for some time, but this seems to be the year of thedeluge.

Last year, before the construction of the new Church bio­chemistry laboratory, most of the faculty members, Instituteemployees, Athenaeum members, graduate stNdents, seniorsand juniors who wanted assigned parking spaces, had themBut when the beginning of construction wiped out a wholeparking lot, some people found they had to walk farther eachday than they had had to before, and juniors this year havefound that there' are not enough assigned places left for them.

Some of those who had no places assigned and who wantedto park closer to the houses than Tournament Park began topark in the Athenaeum lot. Irate Athenaeum members whothen found that they had no place to park in their own lotstarted a wave of protest that culminated in the announcementin the houses on November 10 that the Athenaeum parkingrules henceforth would be rigidly enforced and students park­ilng there could expect to receive tickets.

Although long~term parking' in the Athenaeum lot has al­ways been taboo, the fact that in the past students' cars parkedth,ere for only an hour or so have been overlooked has ledmany to believe this their privilege. However, the central lotis set aside for Athenaeum members and their guests for park·ing not to exceed three hours, and the lot at the corner ofHill and California is for permanently assigned parking forAthenaeum residents. (The reserved spaces near Blacker arefor seniors). Since the Athenaeum is a semi·private organiza­tion and the lots are theirs, they have every right to enforce thisrule to the letter, regardless of the hardships it may work on

"We'd like to take you upstairs aud shQW you the real gracious­ness of Caltech life, but it's sort of a rule around here to wait 'tillyou're admitted."

••Freedom on trial .Every summer someone goes into a smoke-filled room

somewhere and comes out with the national collegiate debatetopic for the following school year. This year's question, asformally stated, is: "Resolved: that the United States shouldextend diplomatic recognition to tl1.e Communist governmentof China."

All .over America, college debaters began work on thisquestion at the beginning of the school year. Most of themhad to prepare ·briefs on both sides of' the issue, since' collegetournaments are usually so arranged that each individual mustdebate each side at least once in the course of the tournament.

The calm progress of college forensics came to a screechinghalt last month, when debaters learned of the following de­velopments:

At West Point and Annapolis, debaters were forbidden todebate the question; military men should not speak on foreignpolicy.

In the Midwest, a youth wrote his Congressman for sourcematerial. He got no material at all-except for a sizzling letterwhich expressed the hope that no red-blooded American boywould think of debating the affirmative side of the question.

Another congressman in the East wrote home for a listfar the FBI files of those who had been debating affirmative,and of those authorities whose quotations were being used tosupport the affirmative.

No time for complacencyIn general, the debate program has proceeded undsturbed.It is our hope that the American public is very disturbed.The point of view represented by the West Point admin-

istration and by the two congressmen is intolerable. It is ignor·ant, prejudiced, and undemocratic. It is completely contrary tothe philosophy behind the Bill of Rights, which is an appendixto our Constitution which some ancestors of ours felt was essen­tial to safeguard personal liberties.

It is ignorant and prejudiced because it overlooks the factthat the great majority of affirmative arguments are based ona cold hard-headed practical evaluation of the American posi­tion in the cold war.

The point of view is undemocratic in a painfully obviousway. It proposes to prohibit any kind of controversial ques­tion. It aspires to prevent American citizens from advocatingany other foreign policy than the present administration doc­trines.

Certainly there are limits which must be placed on theright to say what you please. But by no stretch of the imagina­tion can advocacy of recognition of Red China be interpreted asfalling outside any fair limits. As debaters view the issue,there is no clear and present danger to the government of theUnitd States which emanantes from a free discussion of thequestion. The proponents of recognition do not intend toweaken the U.S., but to strengthen it. The fact that only aminority seem to agree cannot be used as grounds for stiflingfree discussion of the question.

Let the people speakIf the gentlemen behind the decisions at West Point and

.Annapolis and the two congressmen could have their way,Winston Churchill and the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairsin Great Britain would be listed as enemies of the Americanpeople--for Britain is one of a dozen non-Communist countrieswhich has recognized Red China. If these gentlemen had theirway, every college graduate who ever debated the "wrong" sideof a controversial topic would have his security clearancedenied.

We are afraid of people like the two congressmen. Wewould like to retain the privilege of writing strongly-wordededitorials on controversial subjects.

Maybe every name on our editorial staff will be markeddown somewhere in some vigilante's files. Gentlemen, we donot advocate violent overthrow of the Republican administra­tion, much less of the American government. We do not evenadvocate turning over all our military and technological secretsto the Russians.

We know that our forefathers intended to preserve for usthe right to speak ou rminds on controversial issues, as long aslaw and order are secure.

We side with them.

Albert the alligator, with aflashing red nose and bright eyes,a Pogo comic strip in front ofDabney, and a handful of ear­nest undergraduates have ac­quired that pre-Christmas "Asil­omar" look. The campaign hasstarted to recruit Tech men fora week's vacation near Monte­rey-the Y Asilomar ConferenceDecember 26 to January 1.

The word from this publicitycrew is that Asilomar is no ordi­nary vacation, but a stimulating,refreshing change from the Cal­tech campus. Since most of theAsilomar alumni-the earnestundergrads-can only be heardto exclaim in superlatives whenasked to describe their experi­ence, a few facts should be men·tioned.

"Where Are You?" is the pierc­ing question chosen as confer­ence theme. The morning plat­form lectures, by Alexander Mil­ler of the Stanford faculty, willstab at an answer to this pro­found enigma.

SeminarsSeminar topics include "Co-ex­

istence or War?" "The Meaningof Love and Marriage," "CivilLiberties," and "ContemporaryReligious Thought." These willbe conducted by men well quali­fied in their subject, such as Dr.Floyd Ross, recent visitor to theCaltech campus.

More scholarship money thanever before, $86,600, was givenout to asist 156 Caltech under­grads this year, a recent reportof the scholarship committee re­veals.

Broken down by classes, thefigures show grants of decreas­ing size to the higher classes, al­though the number of recipientswas fairly uniform. Upperclass­men were generally able to findbetter employment during theschool year and over vacation.Seniors often borrow for thelast year.

These are the statistics:Class recipients amount

Scholarship grants are givenon the basis of financial need.except for the honorary regionaischolarships. This year Caltechcooperated with a number oflending West Coast colleges inintroducing a standard scholar·ship application form, to reducethe "buying" of top high schooltalent, and to insure a more ac­curate estimate of need. Thiscoordinated scholarship programwas successful, and soon will beextended throughout the coun­try.

Special annual donations fromcorporations like Union Carbideand Carbon, Alfred Sloan Foun­dation, and Douglas Aircraft ac­counted for over half the sum.These grants are on a year-to­year basis, and may vary fromyear to year with corporationprofits.

The balance of the amountcomes as income from investedfunds built up over the yearsfrom donations from alumni andfriends.

IT'S A FACT! College smokers prefer Luckies to all other

brands-and by a wide margin-according to the latest,

greatest coast-to-coast college survey. The No. 1 reason:

Luckies taste better. They taste better, first of all, because

Lucky Strike means fine tobacco. Then, that tobacco is

toasted to taste better. "It's Toasted" -the famous Lucky

Strike process-tones up Luckies' light, good-tasting tobacco

to make it taste even better. Now for the Droodle above,

Constant speedFuture developments in the

turbine power plant may makeit practical for passenger cars.However, the turbine is essen­tially a constant-speed device,not well adapted to city traffic.

Will future American cars bepowered by conventional enginesor by gas turbines? Prof. PeterKyropoulos will answer thisquestion in his lecture "Pin­wheels or Pistons," to be givenon Students' Day, December 4,at 1:30 p.m.

Dr. Kropoulos is not only aprofessor of mechanical engi­neering but also a consultant toGeneral Motors. In this capacityhe shares the credit for design­ing the Firebird, GM's experi­mental turbine-powered car. Heis also chief observer for theMobilgas economy run.

the turbine power plant, andcompare it with the ordinarypiston engine. He will show thatpresent turbine engines, becauseof their high fuel consumptionand low efficiency at low speeds,are not suitable for passengercar use.

Among the more spectacularpresentations which will greetthe high-school students Satur­day afternoon is a demonstra­tion lecture on liquid air.

The lecture, which will begiven three. times during theafternoon in 201 Bridge, is to bepresented by lVIr. Earl Jacobs,who is taking graduate coursesat the California Institute whileserving as instructor in physicsat Los Angeles State College.

For the lecture, a quantity ofliquid oxygen and liquid nitro­gen, requisitioned from the phy­sics department, will be used tocool different objects of tempera­tures in the neighborhood of 200degrees below zero Centigrade.The unusual properties of theseobjects at such low temperatureswill then be demonstrated.

The visiting students can seevarious fruits and vegetablesfrozen in a few seconds to suchlow temperatures that they shat­ter at the least impact. Themagnetic properties of liquidoxygen are atso to be exhibited,and it will be shown how the re­siliency of some metals such aslead is greatly increased at lowtemperatures.

He will explain the physicalprinciples which make it possi­ble to get information by "X-rayDiffraction"; that is, by shootingan X-ray beam at a crystal andobtaining a photograph of thebeam as it emerges. By the po­sition of "photographic dots"where something in the crystal-an atom-has caused a part ofthe beam to change its path, itis possible to learn the arrange­ment of the "dot-causing" atoms.

In the lecture room, there willbe scale models of some of thecrystals whose structures havebeen determined by this tech­nique. Using the models andsamples of the X-ray pictures(diffraction patterns) obtainedfrom them, he will show howone gets from a photograph, withmany little spots which seem tomean nothing, to a pattern whichtells a great deal about the sub­stance.

X-ray Diffraction, one of thenewer tools used in the searchto find the structure of matter,will be discussed Saturday fora Students' Day audience by Dr.Gunnar Bergman, assistant pro­fessor of chemistry and mechan­ical engineering.

Professor Bergman, who reoceived his basic education inSweden, and who has been atTech since receiving his docto­rate here in 1951, has focusedhis research on the problem ofdetermining the structure ofcrystals. Once the spatial ar·rangement of the atoms in com­plicated molecules is known, itis possible for chemists to usethat information to derive theo­ries regarding the reasons forthe observed properties of mat­ter. This work, carried on byDr. Bergman and his group ofgraduate students, is one impor­tant phase of the basic researchprogram under way in the chem­istry laboratories.

Conley runs back interception 100 yds;Beavers score four times in last period

In the last game of the season on November 20 the Caltech foot­ball team suffered a 44-32 defeat at the hands of LaVerne College.It was a wild and woolly contest as LaVerne piled up six touch­downs before Tech could get a point on the scoreboard and thenthe Beavers came back with a closing rush which netted them 26points in the final quarter, but still left them shy of victory.

The Leopards contained Tech almost entirely within the fiftyyard line in the first half and left the field on the long end of a 31-0score. In the second half they started where they left off, scoring

one touchdown, and were knock­ing on the door again when PhilConley intercepted a pass on thegoal line and ran 100 yards, out­racing the LaVerne secondary,to score. But the Leopards tookthe ensuing kickoff and drove aUthe way back to raise the scoreto 44-6.

The Beavers took the kick0ffon their own 44 and scored ineight plays with John Lukeshgoing the final seven. Lukeshalso turned in a 24 yard jauntduring the drive. Tech attempt­ed an onside kickoff and madeit good, taking the ball on theirown 48. Conley passed to EdNelson for 31 yards and TedLang gained eight down to the13. After a penalty set the ballback on the 27, Lang hit Nelsonwith a pass that was good ferthe TD.

Sunday, November 21, the Cal­tech sailing team defeated Oxy3-0. Three team races were sailedwith three boats per team in theinner harbor of the Los AngelesYacht Club.

In the first race Fritz Trap­nell from Tech crossed the start­ing line first, just to windwardof the flrst Oxy boat and wasable to work into the lead posi­tion which he held for the restof the race. Ron Wann and JanA I' P s successfully defendedagainst the other two Oxy boatsto give Tech first, third, andfourth.

In the second race \Vann gotoff to a beautiful start and heldthe number one spot for Techover the entire course. Arpsand Trapnell got into a dogfightwith all three Oxy boats rightafter the starting gun, and thenleft them behind to give Tech1, 2, 3, at the finish.

The third race was marked byits lack of wind but team cap­tain Arps and Ron Wann ghost­ed across the starting line in theone, two positions and held themacros the finish line. Trapnellwho had been some twenty-fiveyards from the starting line atthe five minute warning gun,took eight minutes to get to theline (believe us, there was nowind!) and consequently heldthe anchor spot throughout therace to give Tech one, two, andsix, still a winning combination,and a 3-0 overall score.

The sailing team will meet Po­mona this weekend, and partici­pate in the intercollegiate cham·pionships over Christmas vaca­tion.

in the second half. Whittier,however, is the team to watch.The Poets have three men re­turning from their starting line­up of last year and they have'Ill of last year's frosh teamwhich won 23 out of 25 games.

Whittier Friday, maybeSanta Barbara is an unknown

quantity at the present, but theyare sure to give Tech a goodfight. If Tech gets past theGauchos, they will meet Whit­tier Friday (assuming that Whit­tier beats Westmont.)

The results of the "R" tourneymay well be indicative of howthe conference race will turn outthis year as all the schools ofthe conference are represented.However, last year Tech lost toboth Pasadena Nazarene and Po­mona and went on to win theleague championship.

Here's how the teams stack upfor today's games: Caltech vs.Santa Barbara, 2 p.m.; Whittiervs. Westmont, 4 p.m.; PasadenaCollege vs. Pomona-Claremont, 7p.m.; Redlands vs. Occidental,8:45 p.m.• Caltech will be represented by

an eighteen man team, includingsix lettermen. A quick rundownon the individual players fol­lows:

On the Saturday be f a I' eThanksgiving vacation the Cal­tech soccer team was held to am score by a determined teamfrom Pomona. Caltech shouldhave won this game easily, butPomona's tremendous spirit, can·trasted with the apathy of theCaltech players made the scoresay something else.

Caltech drew first blood whenSteve Mak crossed the ball infront of the goal and Sedat Ser·dengecti ,pounded it in. The teamcould not connect for any moreand the slim 1-0 lead stood untilhalftime. In the second half thef'om-ona forwards got warmed upand consistantly ran throughthe Caltech defense. Arne KalmstoPPed many possible goals, butOne piddling shot rolled througha. bunch of players and into thegoal.

This Friday at 3:00 Caltechwill meet USc. on our own field.This is the first time in severalyears that USC has fielded ateam, but they should be hardto beat.

The JV soccer team lost tothe UCLA JV's by 7-0. UCLAimporved greatly since the firstgame of the season when theyplayed a 0-0 game with Caltechand Charlie Miller's boys did notbave the speed to match theUCLA forwards.

To Montgomery, air power isthe decisive force today. Armiesand navies, now subordinate,must be more mobile, and allneed to be able to use atomicweapons. Even in local wa·J:"S,atomic weapons must be usedwhen circumstances demand it.

All this means that the mili­tary is closely connected withscience. Because of our thermo­nuclear weapons, we h a v estrength, and we should not beafraid to threaten atomic retalia­tion if attacked.

about it."But in additio.n to this JOVial

friendliness, the man who ledthe British forces to victory overRommel showed Caltech some­thing more-a persuasive per­sonality and a profound, out­spoken military mind.

The hope of the free world ina cold war lies in peace-"peacethrough strength, and §trengththrough unity ... No nation canstand alone, for isolationism isdeadly dangerous today," hestated.

When Molotov turned downMarshall aid to communist satel­lites in July 1947,. :Montgomeryrealized that Russia effectivelysaid she didn't want Europe t~recover and to oppose her. Atthis momentous time the worldconflict took shape.

He compared the world ",itua­tion to a pond with a stonethrown in the midle. \Ve notice'waves splashing up on the fring­es-Korea, Formosa-hut thereal problem is in the center ofthe pond, Germany.

Although six or seven yearsago, Germany and Europe wouldhave been overrun by a commu­nist attack, today an invasionwould be more firmly met. "Itwould be a bit of a party, ofcourse," he commented in his

and his ten of spades. Quiver­ing slightly, he tried to finessethe board's jack of diamonds. Itlost, which goes without saying,and West followed up with hisace of diamonds. Thus far thecontarct was down one.

Trilling then led a club, andLewis's ace was trumped inEast. East returned a spadeand declarer had only to loseone more heart trick, makingthe rest, down only three.

There is something drastical­ly wrong about this hand. Everyhand is an opener, or might beopened. There are fourteen dis­tribution points in the fourhands, which must be prettyclose to the world's record.There is a singleton or a void inevery suit-yet every suit issplit seven cards in one team,six cards in the other team.

Dummy'S only trick was hissingleton trump. Declarer wonin his hand only four trumpsamI his ten of spades. West gotfour "sloughs" on spades! Andonly twice in the thirteen leadswas there an "honest" trick­four cards of the same suit.Trumps were played on eightleads.

Such madness transcends thelaws of probability. Some non­Euclidean mathematic is calledfor to explain such a travesty.Disease! Unclean!

the hand and decided to "cash"his king of clubs. Bailey trumped,of course. Lewis was calmeddown and play continued withan eight of spades lead. Theboard dropped a dub on thespade-but Trilling played a dia­mond, and declarer's ten won.Ranting hoarsely, Bailey de­manded that the trick be playedover "to mal\:e it look good forthe Tech." Bailey was restrained.

Lewis had now won twotricks-the dummy's lone trump,

some form of athletics. Half oflast year's seniors had played onvarsity teams and one-third hadearned varsity letters.

Women at TechA tradition has been broken.

For the first time in Caltech his­tory, a woman graduate studentwas admitted in September, 1953.The second woman graduate stu­dent was admitted in Septemberof 1954. It must be pointed out,however, that no great flood of"co-eds" is anticipated, since un­dergraduate admission remainsrestricted to men.

By JeW)' Fried"In sharp contrast to many re­

cent years in which major na­tional and international eventshave shaken college campuses,the past year appears relativelyuneventful," President L. A. DuoBridge stated in his annual re­port to the Board of Trustees.

While Caltech has recognizedits obligation to national defenseby its continued operation of thetwelve-million dollar a year JetPropulsion Laboratory and theSouthern California CooperativeWind Tunnel, Dr. DuBridgestressed the fact that "our majorinterest and service will alwaysbe the program of education andresearch conducted on campus."

Dr. DuBridge said ~hat duringthe year, the net worth of theInstitute increased to $55,785,435and its endowment capital in­crejl.sed by $1,164,000 to a totalof more than $30,000,000. Thisamount may be substantially in­creased in the future due to thediscovery of oil on Ranchosespe, a property near Fillmore,California, which is part of atrust bequeathed to Caltech bythe late Eudora Hull (Mrs.Keith) Spalding.

Expenditures during the pastyear amounted to about 18 mil­lion dollars, two-thirds of whichwas spent for off-campus opera­tions.
