The Senator also stated thatwe have to negotiate with the Na­tional Liberation Front if wewant to end the war. Accordingto him, the Viet Nam war wasoriginally an internal conflictuntil we interfered. It was ~civil war involving almost noNorth Vietnamese, until we en­tered the conflict.Users hurt only themselves

Hewas amazed at the vindictive­ness of a society towards theusers, who at worst are onlyhurting themselves. He also ex­pressed the viewpoint that 18year olds should have the rightto vote, believing that it is un"realistic not to allow them to.

Senator Beilenson felt that thepresent draft laws were in needof revision. A national set ofuniform standards is needed, asis a better definition of a con­scientious' objector. He felt thatthere probably was a need forsome form of draft but was infavor of providing alternativeservices for the draftee to enter;Le. the peace corp or some simi­lar sort of effort.

Sen. Beilenson has authoredmany successful measures to im­prove human and consumerrights. He is best known asauthor of the controversial newabortion law. Recently, he intro­duced a reform to this law toallow abortions in the case ofdeformity of the fetus.

In the opinion of HEW, thecost-benefit analysis has the bestchance of all the groups to getfunded. Mr. Griswold said, "Whatwe have been looking for for along time is qualified people . . .for cost-benefit studies which isthe only way we can justifymore potent controls." This studyembodies the interdisciplinaryapproach which is one of the Pro­ject's main aims.

As Mr. Griswold expressed it,"If done properly, it will requirethe expertise of all disciplinesat Caltech ... (and) close workand cooperation." The cost-bene'­fit analysis' can begin immediate­ly since the idea is relativelyunexplored, while the otherstudies require a lot more back­ground reading due to thevolume of work that has beendone already on them.out it the Coffeehouse will either

fold or require ASCIT subsidies.This date is not yet, but it willcome. Attenion will have to begiven to the situation."The .great collapse

The unfortunate' day did comeApril 17 when, after another dropin business, Henry sent a letter tothe BOD announcing that he hadclosed the Coffeehouse', exceptfor a special hootenanny on Ap­ril 19. He asked that salaries be'ceased and said he would stayon until relieved of his post. Netresources, including food, wereabout $150, plus the sound sys­tem; the Coffeehouse could notmeet its obligations within a fewweeks; and any expenses like re­stocking soda would cause bank­ruptcy.

A unanimous BOD vote set upthe Revitalization Committee,which, besides Chairman Garet,consists of Rhodes, "the currentmanager, someone from the busi"ness office, and one person fromeach house and two from off­campus, to be named by thechairman."

It appears, though, that theblame lies not with the BOD orCoffeehouse officers, but withT e c k E'r s. Caltech can have acoffeehouse only as long as stu­dents go to it; with the' presentset-up, sales must be doubled tobreak even. Henry and Rhodesagreed that a Caltech coffee­house should stand by itself with­out ASCIT subsidy.

CaliforniaTech

by J. Weber and B. FlakeLast Friday night thirty-six

amplifiers, piled on the BeckmanAuditorium stage, gave sufficientwarning that the volume wouldbe at pain-level. This barrage ofequipment belongs to The UnitedStates of America, the "electronicrock band." Their title may havea familiar ring, but their musicilluminates previously unexplor­ed combinations of sound, blend­ing vocal and instrumental har­mony, blues, jazz, and acid-rock.

The band consists of JosephByrd, organ, piano, harpsichord,electronic music, vocals (man ofmany talents); Dorothy Mosko­witz, vocals; Craig Woodson,drums; and two new members: abass and electric guitarist.

The USA tuned up, turned upthe amplifiers, and then therewas sound. Unlike many SanFrancisco groups' such as BlueCheer, who use volume just forvolume's sake, USA uses its pow­er effective'ly and with quality.

The first song was "You Can'tEver Come Down," acid"rock,with fine lycics and some fasci­nating electronics produced byDurrett's electronic synthesizer.It built to a climax, than droppedoff into gentle folk, a ballad, andthen the audience fell for miles,but slowly, slowly.

Joe talked a little, and theywere ready for one of the bestsongs of the night, "Garden ofEarthly Delights." It has widlysurrealistic lyrics and an exoticrhythm. Dorothy's voice is aliveand evil and very loud - witha metallic sound achieved byuse of a ring modulator (doubleside band with variable carrier

J..'\.tchstoneEditors:

Needless to say, Joe Rhodes'discussion of Caltech's inadequa­cies in last week's Tech restedon a number of unsupported as­sumptions which I feel shouldbe examined. I'd like to see if, infact, CIT does fail to provide stu­dents with the opportunity togee a good education.

Since a student who goes tocollege in his late teens and earlytwenties may still use approacheslearned in school many yearslater, it is important that he beas flexible as possible. The mostimportant things a school canprovide, therefore, are the abili­ty to reason analytically and tosolve difficult problems, and aSUfficiently large and broadbody of basic information in hisfield so that he has enoughknowledge to successfully directhis own investigations. "Sustain­ing a student's desire to learn"is also of importance. I feel thatCaltech does a fine job (thoughit could be improved) in stimu­lating reasoning ability and com­municating the large body of in­formation. I also feel that thosestudents who genuinely desireto learn, who are genuinely com­mitte'd to science, do not leaveCaltech "largely emptied."

Rhodes contends that the stu­dent fails to learn to reason atTech, but nowhere in his articleis this supported. If anything,this is the pre'cise intention ofsuch peculiarly Caltech institu­tions as Feynman Physics andHonors Research. Certainly thecurriculum ought to be strength­ened whenever possible to helpthe student to reason more pre­cisely; however, the massivechange'S of the sort which 'Rhodesmay advocate (in the academicarea) seem unjustified.

The second area of a goodeducation is maintaining en­thusiasm. Here Rhodes' claim isthat freshmen who com e toTech "excited, enthusiastic andeager leave ... largely emptied,"and accuses them of "committingintellectual suicide'." Like mostgeneralizations, this one is in­accurate. I talked with fiveseniors in Ruddock House, andnone of them was willing to ad­mit to being "largely emptied."The problem of how studentslose enthusiasm, though it doesexist, doesn't exist to such anextent that a student who comes'here is "committing intellectualsuicide." But it is a problemthat is worth examining.

The student who comes toTech faces many problems andpressures which he wouldn't at

Readers Criticalof Rhodes' Myth

Editors:Judging from last week's Tech,

Joe Rhodes is embarking on acrusade to convince the studentbody that a Caltech education isnot a good thing. Some peoplehave believed this for a longtime, and I for one have alwayswanted to see a lucid presenta­tion of the arguments whichbrought them to this view. Un­fortunately, Rhodes is going tohave to unmuddle his thinkinga bit before his article will con­stitute a responsible call foraction.

As you will recall, the articlelisted a large number of "as­sumptions" under which theInstitute purportedly operates.Some of these were indeedquestionable beliefs Which Cal­tech would do well to reexamine.However, many were either cor­rect assumptions or misconcep­tions under which I do not be­lieve the Institute labors. It isnevertheless the ASCIT presi­dent's stated position that thes'eare all guiding tenets of Caltech,and that "all of these views arecomplete myths, lacking anyfoundation in fact" (emphasismine). Intemperate words, Mr.Rhodes, and I am sure we allawait your elucidation.

This was all, however, by wayof introduction. The main pointof last week's performance wasthat, first, a Caltech educationdoes nothing but stuff facts downyour throat; and, second, Caltechturns off the enthusiasm manystudents carry with them fromhigh school.

The first point significantlyoverstates the case. Caltech en­deavors to provide the basic factsand the tools required to workwith more advance material.Obviously this l' e qui l' e s athorough exposure to a largeamount of material. If the infor­mation-flow seems excessive attimes, it is precisely because ofthe "massive information in­crease" Rhodes cites; the alter­native is an increasing gap be­tween what a Caltech graduateshould know and what he doesknow. Nevertheless, the empha­sis remains' on analytic think­ing.

The second argument is speci­ous. Rhodes criticizes the' factthat "Freshmen learn that sci­ence, once loved as a sparklingorb, light and exciting, becomesthe daily routine drudgery ofphysics labs and math assign-'ments." Well, there is a hell ofa lot of unexciting troll workassociated with even the most

other individuals. They makepossible most of the value ofone's work or money merely byseeking to gain, by productionand trade, values of their own.But these individuals have noreason to demand back part ofthe value you received, in theform of money or conscriptlabor; they profited from thetrade just as you did.

There is another problem toconsider, of course. It is possiblefor forceful action to destroyvalues, so a government to pre­vent the initiation of force isitself a value of great impor­tance. But a government is notsociety or the community; it isan institution within societywhich is valuable only because,and only if, it prevents the ini­tiation of force. Since it is valua­ble, people would pay for itsservices, just as they pay forinsurance. A government couldjustly withdraw its servicesfrom those who refused to payfor them, but it could not justlytake away other values they hadearned. When it does, it is in­verting its purpose, by initiatingforce itself. A government withunlimited power to tax is atotalitarian one, and invites re­distributors of wealth and spec­ial-interest groups to try to se­cure a special position. Similarly,in case of aggression from out­side, if the government is ofvalue to the citizens, they will

Spencer's PanPan of the Draft

Coffeehouse MustReasonable

Harkness Pansof Tucker'sEditors:

George Tucker's letter (March28) contains several examples ofthe errors, common in modernpolitical discussion, which canresult from using terms withoutever carefully examining theirmeanings. I would like to con­sider two of them.

He says, "Human lives arenot even qualitatively equivalentto money," in criticizing CraigSpencer's comparison of con­scription and taxation. Butmoney represents the valuesachieved by human effort, andthese values are required to sup­port life and make it enjoyable.If a man is denied part of theproduct of his effort, his enjoy-'ment of life' is reduced and hissusceptibility to the literal dang­ers to life, such as disease (be­cause he cannot afford a gooddoctor) or traffic accidents (be­cause he cannot afford car re­pairs), is increased. Thus ex­propriating money from a manis taking part of his life assurely as enslaVing him for aperiod, and taking all his sav­ings and income would not differsignificantly from shooting him.

Second, "society gives themoney its value and can claimsome of it in return," and later:"It seems reasonable that thecommunity should be able torequire an individual to makethe choice between giving it apart of his life or losing some ofthe advantages of the communi­tv (primaraily economic)."There is no single conscious, act­ing entity "society" or "the com­munity." There are a large num­ber of individual men, and theeconomic benefits one receivesfrom the existence of a free,peaceful society are the gains onereceive in engaging in trade with

With the folding of the Caltech Coffeehouse, once againthe cry has been raised by some of student apathy. Seemingly,the administrators and backers of the Coffeehouse feel that thefailure was due simply to a lack of interest on the part of Teck­ers, and that the failure is to be blamed on the entire studentbody.

We certainly cannot deny that many Teckers do not choseto become involved in activities not directly related to academics.However, we feel that the real blame for the Coffeehouse's fail­ure rests not on this apathy; but upon the ASCIT administratorsfor fail ing to fulfill the simple want of the student body whichhad prompted the demand for the Coffeehouse in the first place.

What the student body wanted - and still wants - was aplace to go at odd hours which was convenient to the campus andoffered reasonable food at reasonable prices. Over the pastweek, we have questioned many Teckers as to why they did notpatronize the Coffeehouse. The response was overwhelminglythat the food at the Coffeehouse was crummy and that the pricescharged for it were outrageous. This lack of qual ity was whatwe bel ieve to have been the major reason for the Coffeehouse'sfailure.

Where their stomachs are concerned, Teckers are NOT apa­thetic. The fact that virtually every night one can find groupsof Teckers having late meals or snacks at Bob's or Roma Gardensindicates that they are willing to inconvenience themselves tothe extent of going five or more blocks from campus in searchof reasonable food.

Thus, if the Coffeehouse is to EVER succeed, it must offer agreat improvement in the quality of food over what it has beenin the past. Further, the more convenient it is to the StudentHouses, the better it could compete with the aforementionedrestaurants, for compete it must.

The failure of the Coffeehouse should have made clear thefact that Teckers will not support an activity merely because it isbeing run and sponsored by fellow students. Perhaps this wouldbe considered by some to be a lack of school spirit. We, how­ever, consider it to be a perfectly justifiable value judgment onthe part of Teckers as to the qual ity of goods received.

there is a strong urge to give upduring the undergraduate years.It is this sort of student who los­es enthusism significantly. Thereason is that he has acquired hisenthusiasm without really under­standing what sort of a profes­sion he wants to go into. Hewould probably lose his enthusi­asm at a State University, assoon as he found out that there isa great deal of difficult work in­VOlVed in science.

For the sort of student thatCaltech is intended, for theemotionally strong young manwho is sure he's interested inscience, Caltech offers uniqueadvantages; for, if this studentmakes an effort, he can learnthe basics, gain the reasoningability, and retain the enthusi­asm necessary to be a fine re­search scientist or professor.

Even the student who findshe is not committed to sciencecan major in a non-scienceoption. Here again, if he workshard, he may still be enthusias­tic when he graduates. In anyevent, the administration is' cur­rently planning to expand theHumanities Division. It would,therefore, be true to say thatRhode's criticism on that partof the issue has already been ob­served and the problem is al­ready being attacked.

Rhodes' last point is that theability for scholarly self-directionis not developed here. The oppor­tunity for honors work has beenoverlooked in his analysis'.

In general, then, that problemarea outlined by Mr. Rhodes isnot significant and can be dealtwith by small changes in thepresent educational system.

The performance culminated ina final, fantastic epic, "The Elec­tric God," which had some roughparts, but overall, was excellent.It started with Dorothy singingHare Krishna to a raga beat,then went into a funky hard rocksong, mocking America and itselectric gods.

One final point: Many peo­ple appear to think that be­cause a government is directedby majority vote, it represents"the will of the people" and cando anything it chooses with anyof them or their money, since ithas their own sanction. But thepeople have many differentwills, and some will disagreewith the m a j 0 r i t y, even ifa majority manages to agree onsomething. An injustice does notbecome just, by virtue of beingcommitted by a majority againsta minority.

There is doubt­less room for improvement inthis field, but it is a positiveservice of a Caltech education toreveal to students that they arenot going to be a vestpocketEinstein (or the anti-smogsaviour of the' world) without alot of hard work.

I can no longer countenancethis irresponsible trend amongcertain undergraduates at Cal­tech, notably Mr. Joseph Rhodes,of which this action of theCoffeehouse Committe'e is justthe most recent example.

The ASCITBoard, who had been informed ofthe financial situation of theCoffeehouse as early as firstterm, acted in a way which hasbecome a trademark of PresidentJoe Rhodes: after the time forreasonable action had passed forthis year, a Committee was form­ed to study the possibilities ofreopening the Coffeehouse thisyear. This Committee is chairedby ASCIT Activities ChairmanMike Garet, who is underRhodes' thumb, and who appar­ently knows nothing about thetrue situation of the Coffeehouseand, judging by his assistancerendered in the past, cares less.

Mr. Rhodes, in a typically high­handed act, called a meeting ofthis' committee without bother­ing to tell Garet about it, lastweek. At this, and a subsequentmeeting, the Committee whichwas formed of several Teckersand several non-'Teckers, somewith legitimate concern aboutthe Coffeehouse and some' withnothing but a lot of criticism,virtually none of whom had anyknowledge whatsoever of theworkings of the Coffeehouse,made the rather puzzling decis­ion to open the Coffeehouse nextweek, between the hours of noon

by Coach GutmanThe challenge is here and the

Caltech football team is deter­mined to meet that challengehead on. In the past few weeksthere have been strong and en­couraging indications that theCaltech community is sincerelyinterested in teaming up with thefootball squad in making it acommon effort. This support willbe of great importance in help­ing Caltech football arrive at alevel more closely related to itspotential. This potential, as manyof us see it, is competitive withthe football teams we competeagainst.

The preseason spirit of thefootball team is at an all timehigh. Every returning footballathlete is either participating ina spring sport or is' engaged inthe athletic weight training pro­gram. During the summer monthsthe football players will improvetheir physical effectiveness byfollowing a conditioning programdesigned to meet the needs offootball action. With this typeof preseason conditioning, theCaltech football player will bephysically prepared and ready tomeet the challenge.
