Six Caltech professors-Robert Bergman, William Corcoran, DavidElliot, Holly Jackson, Edwin Munger, and Rodman Paul-are therecipients of the second annual ASCIT Awards for Excellence inTeaching, it was announcedtoqay.

The ASCIT Board of Directorsbased the choices on datagathered for this year's TeachingQuality Feedback Report tlwcourse-evaluation booklet. In­structors who rated highly in thecategories of clarity, enthusiasm,and interest were considered forthe awards.

Interestingly, four of the sixwinners are from the Division ofthe Humanities and Social Sci­ences. Holly Jackson, assistantprofessor of english, has beenhere only since 1975, yet in thatshort time has impressed studentswith her enthusiasm for hersubject (Shakespeare).

Professor of History DavidElliot was cited for his Intro­duction to Europe class, whichone student explained was "ex­cellent" because of the concen­tration on "trends and reasonsrather tha[l dates." Rodm~ Paul,professor of history, was alsocommended for his teaching afreshman class, American Lifeand Thought.

For his :seminars in politicalgeography, Professor Edwin(Ned) Munger was commendedby the BOD. Munger, a notedexpert on Africa, receive4 entire­ly positive comments in theTQFR.

To make comparison of tui­tionand educational expenseseasier, I have constructed twoindexes, graphed in Figure 2.These indexes are for tuition andgeneral expenses less sponsoredresearch expenses. The baseperiod for both was taken to be1970 through 1976. The graphsshow that increases in tuitionhave followed increases in tuitionfairly closely.

However, looking at the fig­ures in another way, tuition hasbeen increasing at the rate of6.3% per year while educationalexpenses have been rising at only4.1%. This is during a period efincreasing enrollment. At the

.. same time, Figure 3 shows thatthe percent of educational ex­penses accounted for by tuitionrevenue and student notes receiv­able is creeping upward by abouttwo thirds of a percentage pointeach year. This may indicate thatCaltech is suffering from thesame problem as most privateschools: a decline in private gifts.Administrative sources, on theother hand, claim that theprbportion of non-tuition fundshas been relatively constant. Iwas unable to find any infor­.mation that would resolve thiscontradiction.

By Brett StutzIn spite of annual inoreases in

recent years, tuition at Caltechremains rather low. Increaseshave been basically justified byincreasing expenses. However, itappears that tuition is providingan increasing part of educationalcosts.

It costs roughly $15,500 peryear to educate a student atCaltech. The Institute's annualbudget is about sixty milliondollars. About one half of this isfor sponsored research. There is ahazy distinction between this andthe 28% allocated to the divi­sions. From this 28% comeprofessors' salaries and othereducational costs. Plant expensesand administrative costs accountfor the other 22% of the budget.Making the approximation thatplant expense is shared in thesame proportion as the rest ofthe budget gives a figure of 40%for educational expenses. (SeeFigure 1).

Caltech tends to have highplant expense because of thelarge amount of laboratory space.The comparatively great oppor­tunities Caltech students have touse sophisticated equipment anddo research increases the cost ofa Caltech education. Even so,comparison with other topschools shows Caltech to have

With the agreement between Jimmy Carter and Panama'sGeneral Omar Torrijos two weeks ago and the plebescite inPanama this week, the reasons for quick Senate approval ofthe Panama Canal treaty are becoming more apparent thanever.

In his meeting with Torrijos, Carter erased doubtssurrounding two key elements of the treaty. A three­paragraph statement released after their meeting affirmedthat the U.S. has the right to defend the canal after 1999and that U.S. warships have priority in using the canal inemergencies. At the same time, it provided that nothing inthe treaty should be interepreted by the U.S. as a right ofintervention in the internal affairs of Panama. This lastprovision was a much sought after face-saving concessiondesired by the Panamanians.

If the canal treaty is not approved, the issue of. whoruns it could become of no importance anyway. There aremany groups in Panama that would rather bomb the canalthan leave it in U.S. hands. Various reports have shownthat small groups of saboteurs could effectively disable thecanal, and American soldiers are no match for Panama'swhen fighting in their tropical jungles.

The American-held Canal Zone cutting through themiddle of their country is an irritation to mostPanamanians akin to what ours might be if the French stillowned the Mississippi River. It gives America the image of arepressive, imperialistic superpower throughout the world.This is sOInething we can ill afford in this day and age. ThePanamanian people have compromised enough to supportAmerican control through the end of the century by amargin of two-to-one. An equal showing of good grace bythe U.S. Senate would approve the treaty. It is time toamend our mistakes. The treaty should be approved.

It is this problem of face-saving that seems to be at theroot of opposition to the treaty in both counh·ies.Conservative Americans charge giveaway and worry aboutthe U.S. losing stature in the world community if we givein to Panama. At the same time, militant Panamanians,eiting the faef that the canal was obtained by the U.S. in acompletely unethical manner, say that the Canal Zone islegitimate Panamanian territory and demand full andimmediate control of the canal.

An additional worry of many Ame;:icans is that thecanal will not be in safe hands if the Panamanians controlit. They cite the Suez Canal as a prime example. However,this argument ignores two basic facts. First, that since thecanal ethically (if not legally) belongs to Panama, it shouldnot really maLLer how well they can run it. Second, thatthe canal is no longer of prime importance to the U.S. Thejoint Chiefs of Staff have said that the canalis of littlestrategic importance to the U.S. And commercial shippingthrough the canal has dropped to the point of nearinsignificance.

By Nick SmithA couple of years ago, an

announcement was made in thepapers that someone wasplanning to make a fIlm out ofone of the books by SF writerRoger Zelazny. This was goodnews" Then they announcedwhich book would be adapted:l)amnationAlley. That was badnews. Eventually, it wasannounced that the title nnghtbe changed to "Survival Run."That was worse news. Finally, itwas announced that Jan MichaelVincent would be starring in theadaptation, and that was theworst news of all"

Damnation Alley is one ofZelazny's worst books, and itwould be difficult to make into amovie. In fact, it is almostfortunate that the fIlmmakersdidn't really try to use the book:.Zelazny's works are mainly char­acter studies, often weakest inthe area of a plot that can bereadily visualized.

The premiere performance of Ramona, asurrealistic play called by its director "boththeater and a formal visual art experience,"will be held on the steps of Gates LaboratoryFriday and Saturday, October 28-29, Thedrama, presented by the SSB, a fine artsresource center of Los Angeles, is sponsoredby Caltech's Baxter Art Gallery. Theperformance begins at 8 pm and runsapproximately one hour.

I!l Ramona artists-playwrights Guy diCointet and Bob Willnte, also known for theirgraphic art and drawing, presen t theiraudience with the kind of surreal symbols,cryptograms, codes and sublinnnal levels ofactivity that characterize their work on'canvas.

The play's simple plot revolves around asensitive young woman in a new homeoverlooking the Pacific Ocean who is visitedby friends, fanlily members, and a stranger.However, the drama's main thrust is the useof music, props, action, and dialogue to giveviewers "a different way of looking ateveryday symbols that they take for granted."

Baxter Gallely selected tIns work forperformance on the campus partly because ofthe authors' interest in the teclmical side ofCaltech-in numbers and systems as they areused in the Caltech environment and'elsewhere.

Tickets for Ramona are $3.50 ($1 toCaltech students). For furt~r informationcontact SSB at (213) 396-1312 or the BaxterArt Gallery 795-6811, ext. 1371.

actors in the fIlm. Romero usedall the local talent he could findand when he ran out of localtalent, he used anybody off thestreets. Also to his credit, theplanning was so good that itactually came in on budget.

In retrospect it is probablyone of the best experimentalworks of 1968. The use ofatmospheric lighting and hand­held camerawork is delightfullyrefreshing. Not attempting tocreate any suspense, the fIlmgoes against all the rules ofhorror fIlms and begins im­mediately with terror andscreams.

As for Phantom of the Operathere isn't much to say aboutthis classic fIlm. Perhaps a tributeto its greatness is that it wasremade twice, but the originalwas never equaled. The storyconcerns Eric, horribly disfiguredfor life, who takes refuge in thesewers beneath the Opera House.He finally kidnaps the beautifulMary Philbin and tries to turnher into the best opera singer inthe world.

Lon Chaney, "the man of athousand faces," plays Eric. Hismakeup in tlns fIlm is about thebest found in the silent fIlm era.

The Night of the Living Deadopened on 42nd. street in 1968and was expected to have a veryshort run and die an undignifieddeath of a typical Class C flick.To make the situation seem morebleak, the fIlm was made inPittsburgh by a gentleman whoprevious to this fIlm had beenmaking commercials in a studiohe owned himself. With all thisgoing against it, the undergroundcritics jumped on it and pro­claimed it as a serious work offIlm art. They were so adamantabout it that by 1970, the fIlmwas being shown at the MuseUlllof Modern Art with GeorgeRomero, the director, present,smiling ear to ear.

The beauty of the fIlm is inits overcoming everything agailistit. Being fIlmed on a shoestring,it is probably one of thelowest-budget fIlms ever made.There are almost no professional

The film also contains theobligatory amounts of blood andgore for either a George Peppardor Jan Michael Vincent film,although they had to give up sexentirely for their PG rating. Afterall, destroying 99% of theworld's population during theopening 20 minutes is followedby killing off much of the rest ingory ways throughout the rest ofthe film, so something had togive.
