Southwestern Rejoicesshould know us by our correctname!

When our student councilvisited your Olive Walk to seeour old relic in its new location,a passing professorial typegrumpily asked us where it camefrom We identified our school,and the mean prof said "Oh, themilitary school!" We told him weweren't military, and he groused,"any school with a cannon onthe front lawn must be mili­tary!" It was great to remindhim that we have no cannon onour front lawn but that youdo!

Militant we're not. Southwest­ern Academy is us - a cooedprep school with residence forboys but no militarism - exceptthat which you added to ourname.

Bergman night is November18, featuring his personal favor­ite, Illicit Interlude, and TheSeventh Seal. The special showfor this term consists of WoodyAllen's What's Up, Tiger Lilly?and Sturgis' Unfaithfully Yours,both on December 2.

All shows start at 8 p.m. inBaxter Hall. Attend a Cinema­tech flick - it's inexpensive andprovides an excellent diversionfrom standard movie fare.

The Caltech Y overseesCinema tech and absorbs anydebts incurred or profits made(mostly the latter, lately). Cine­matech runs its own operationotherwise, with a staff of aboutten. "We take care of refresh­ments, projection, clean-up andprocurement of movies ourselves.And we always have room forinterested people," said McGee.

The organization picks bothfilms it especially wants to bringto Pasadena and films that willmake good profits. Cinematechhas been doing quite well thisyear, drawing large audiences(hence large box receipts) for itsfirst two showings. It alwaysappreciates any requests or ideaspatrons may have.

Future shows will include aShakespeare night on October 21

Pasadena institution "for aboutseven or eight years," accordingto director Hal McGee, is againoffering the best in art andforeign films to Techers thisyear.

"Pasadena very rarely getsreally good art or foreign films atany of its commercial theaters.Cinematech fills this need forPasadenans while offering Caltechstudents an opportunity to seeexcellent films," commentedMcGee. He reports the audiencesare usually around 75% non­Caltech persons, "which bothersus, because we blanket thecampus with announcements.We're nearby, inexpensive, andpublicized but we hardly get anyCaltech response," he said.

Tech Talks To John BinkleyShoemakerLecture

Continued from Page Onepounds of photographic equip­ment down the rivers, obtaining200 pictures while mapping thearea, which had been the lastunmapped area in the UnitedStates.

In approximately 85% of theplaces Powell's photographerstook pictures, no changes hadoccurred in the past century,except for vegetative changes.(Box elder trees seemed to growin front of every camera site.)Boulders along river banks werein the same locations, sandstoneoutcroppings had not erodednoticeably and skylines remainedthe same.

Catastrophies!At the other locations (ap­

proximately 10 to 15 percent ofthose visited), however, majorchanges had occurred. One' of thechanges was well document - inthe early 1960's a few Caltechgraduate students witnessed ahalf-hour flash flood wash awaya river bank on which they werecamping. The changes at mostother sites also appeared to bethe result of catastrophic flashfloods which triggered landslidesand swept away river banks.

Dr. Shoemaker thus concludesthat the changes in the physical

geology of the region result fromoccasional catastrophes, such asflash floods, rather than fromfairly continuous, gradual ero­sion. These catastrophic processesmay also account for erosionalchanges allover the earth. Thecatastrophes in the ColoradoRiver region probably occurabout every 1000 years at anygiven location, based on the factthat 10 to 15 percent of Powell'ssites have changed in the lastcentury.

After presenting his still pho­tographs next to those taken byPowell's photographers, Dr. Shoe­maker narrated a movie of histrip from Green River, Wyoming,to Lake Mead, Arizona. Damsnow form reservoirs in a fewplaces along the river, but mostof the natural beauty of the riverremains.

"Not Dangerous"The river is far from tame,

also - one section of the filmshows the Caltech professor ofgeology bouncing down a rapids,with his rubber raft 50 feetbehind him and its other passen­ger 100 feet downstream He wasnot alone, though, as most of therafts were flipped by the whitewater at least once during thetrip.

The Watson Lecture Serieswill continue on October 30 withDr. George Beadle speaking on"Corn: The Mystery of Maize."

by Phil NechesThe candidate for state, local,

or congressional office usuallyreceives the short end of themedia's proverbial stick. Whilesuch representatives often domore for their constituents,and represent greater differ­ences in ideology, the thunderof presidential politics usuallyrelegates candidates for lesseroffices to obscurity.

In part to combat this ten­dency, and in part to help votersin the Caltech community makeinformed decisions on these keyoffices, The California Techherewith begins a series ofinterviews with candidates forstate, local, and congressionaloffices. In the coming weeks, wehope to spotlight the races forcongressman for the 20th dis­trict, and state assemblyman.

Our first interviewee, JohnBinkley, seeks to become con­gressman from the 20th district,which includes Pasadena andGlendale. First, we asked Binkleyabout his opponent in the race,Carlos Moorhead [Rep.}, who is

currently a state assemblyman."There's just about nowhere I'

agree with him: the BirchSociety completely backs him. .. the NAACP found him oneof the nine worst state legislatorson Civil Rights."

We then asked Binkley abouthis qualifications and campaignstrategy.

"This is a changing district."The 20th was once about 90%Republican. With the influx ofyoung people, blacks, and Chi­canos into the Pasadena area, thevoter registration figures haveshifted to about 55-45, still infavor of the Republicans.

"A representative could beunresponsive, arrogant ... Thatkind of representative is nolonger going to be tolerated. Iintend to be responsive andaccessible ... to maintain openoffice hours in the district ... tohave a skilled administrativeassistant in the district full timeto help constituents with localproblems, also to channel com­plaints to Washington.

YMCA And The Little Brave ProgramOwen of the Central CommunityBranch in Altadena who haspresented it at four nationalconferences, and has written itup in three national publications.Larry receives inquiries weeklyconcerning. the program fromYMCAs around the country. Thisevidences both the popularityand the need for such a programas this.

The success of the program isillustrated convincingly by themothers of fatherless boys. Theyreport that when someone caresabout their boys, spends timewith them, and is concernedenough to include the boy in hisown life, positive changes beginto occur in their boys' lives. Onemother reported, "David has twosisters and no brothers. He haspractically no personal contactwith males outside of the YLittle Brave Program. He has avery difficult time relating topeople either individually or ingroups. I think the exposure toan older male and to the otherboys in the tribe has alreadyhelped him to feel more at easearound people. He's not nearlyso much loner any more." Boysalso become "more responsible",more interested in school, moreunderstanding, and more self­confident, according to theirmothers, and this is what theprogram is all about.

As . another mother said," ... in this day and age when itseems that no one is willing togive something for nothing, it'srefreshing to see high school andcollege young men giving unself­isWy of themselves to helpothers."

Representatives of the pro­gram are currently enlisting inter­ested male students on the localhigh school and college cam­puses. If you are interested inserving the community in acrucial way, or belong to a clubthat would like to make acontribution to our community,please see one of these represent­atives or call Larry Owen, orRick Sizer at the PasadenaYMCA, phone 798-1516, or793-3131 extension 40. ThiscouId be the start of a worth·while relationship for you.

Big Braves

The fatherless boys of mostcommunities are left out ofmany activities due to theirfamily situation. The PasadenaYMCA recognized this fact a fewyears ago and began an ever­expanding program which isdesigned to help fatherless boysregain some of their lost oppor­tunities; It is called the LittleBrave Program and consists ofvolunteer high school, college,and graduate students beingassigned to a fatherless boy, aged6-8, and becoming a companionand model for him, helping himto adjust to social situations byproviding 4im with new andvaried social interactions.

The program has been ex­tremely successful, and has beentaken up by about 50 YMCAsacross the U.S. Every year thereis a greater demand for sponsorsas fatherless boys are eager tojoin the program. This eagernessis no doubt due in part to thevarious activities which are in­cluded in the. program, such asan annual Thanksgiving dinner, asnow trip, trips to sportingevents and special attractions inthe area, as well as bimonthlyclub meetings which includegames, skill projects, tutoring,etc.

Sponsors of the boys receivecomplimentary YMCA member­ships, including full use of thedowntown Y facilities as well asa three acre estate in Altadenawhich includes a pool. Transpor­tation for Little Brave activitiescan be provided by the Y, andother organizational types ofservices are handled by Y-coordi­nators so the sponsor spendsmost of his time in the programwith his Little Brave.

The program was begununder the direction of Larry

Editors:The queer behavior of the two

The disruption of our eveningmeal was disturbing enough. Butthe resulting mess in our diningroom and courtyard was com­pletely uncalled for.

Fol1owmg this charade theBOD received Rick Krueger'sreport on Academic Reforms forCIT, completed over the summer,put off some random businessconcerning Cjnematech, decidedto continue the TGIF's in theLounge (remember last Friday?),and finding no other issues toconfuse, adjourned for the even­ing.

PIZZA TO GODISCOUNTS ON LARGE ORDERS

"The Food Riot", a socialgathering peculiar to certain· tech­nical schools in the United States,derives from the more conventional'bon-voyage' or 'going away' party.

This function is intended toprovide a gentle farewell for mem­bers of student housing kitchenstaffs. It thus combines joyfulcommemoration with a uniqueopportunity for improving the localcuisine.

If invited as a guest you mightwant to take, as an appropriate'hostess gift', cases of soft fruit,eggs, or other foodstuffs suitable forthrowing. Although informal attireis the general rule, formal place­settings and fingerbowls should beprovided.

After the guests have been ledinto the banquet hall, seated andserved, a short invocation may bedelivered. This is followed by theritual 'inversion of vessels'. Eachmember of the company present, inthe order of his social rank, upsetshis plate and allows the contents tospread evenly over the table top.

This having been accomplished,affairs procede at the individualdiscretions of the participants. ,It isconsidered a point of form, how­ever, to aim more at the walls andceilings than at the floor, since theloose foodstuffs may impair footing.If soup is served, it should bethrown bv the ladle-full. Castingsoup by the tureen, although amark of social grace, requires muchpractice to perfect. Beginners shouldcontent themselves with hurlingsmall portions of the entree and anoccasional side-dish. If you desire adish at the far end of the table, youshould ask that it be passed. If youreach for it, you may disrupt theaim of your table-mates. Papernapkins, if wadded and saturatedwith iced tea, become ideal projec­tiles. Heavily buttered dinner rollsare also very good. Let yourimagination run wild.

A complete treatment of theproper approaches to beverageswould require several pages. Whilethere are several schools of thoughton this subject, most experts agreethat iced tea, coffee, milk andchocolate should be cast by theglass-ful. Iced water, being more

scored a major upset last Wednes­day by beating PCC, 6-5. Thefollowing Saturday the odds­makers prevailed, however, as CalState L.A. swamped them, 6-1.These results bring the team'swon-lost record to 3-5.

PCC was so confident ofvictory over the Techers thattheir second team started thegame. Russ Desiderio and How­ard Bubb each scored twice forTech in the first quarter, puttingthe Lancers behind 4-1. PCC'sfirst team played the secondquarter, but could only narrowTech's lead to 4-2.

Too Bad, NickTech's defense did a good job

of defending the deep-end goal inthe third quarter, but PCCmanaged to tie the score at 5-5by the end of the period. Bothteams made many mistakes inthis quarter, with a missedpenalty shot hurting PCC themost.

Virgil Shields did a tremen­dous job in the goal, holdingPCC scoreless in the last quarter.Desiderio scored on a penaltyshot early in the quarter to giveTech a 6-5 lead. PCC's repeatedattacks failed to score, givingTech the hard-earned upset vic­tory.

She was in the computerroom, and when he asked herwhat was wrong, she took thethree cigarettes out of her mouthand blew an impenetrable cloudat the central processing unit,which typed out on the consoletypewriter, "CHOKE! WHEEZE!GASP!" as she answered, "Wefigured that if we put theoperating system in backwardsand the compiler in sideways, itwould work faster."

"Sideways? I thought anycomputer program was sort of along string of instructions, sohow could you put it in side­ways?"

"You're right, it isn't easy.Now watch this." Another pro­gram was fed in, and a tape was

Last spring theold man had vanished mysteri­ously one day, and had beenfound semiconscious at NewportBeach the next morning alongwith a group of Easter Islanderswho did not speak a word ofEnglish, and could not explainwhat they were doing so farfrom their home. A day or twolater transmission on all channelsof Intelsat's Pacific satellite wasinterrupted by a message whichran, "Garble Tom, I'm sorry Icouldn't keep my promise, buthe found those Easter Islanders Iate on my way north, and hestarted a sermon which wassupposed to convert them andsave their souls. I'm afraid itwasn't very long before I literallycouldn't stomach anymore. I'mleaving now, in fact I'm alreadyon my way. If any of you funnylittle people ever get as far asAchernar, I'll be sure to drop byfor dinner. Good-by. Mglafwh­thnulgu." This message was nottransmitted from any station onearth, and just at the time themessage was received, the satd­lite's orbit andrientation weredisturbed, as if it had beenbumped by some large object. Itwas decided that this was causedby a freak meteor impact, sincethere was nothing else it couldbe, and Garble Tom told report­ers that he had no idea how hisname was included in an other­wise incomprehensible message.So much interest was focused onPresident Nixon's trips to Chinaand Russia at this time that theWest Coast reporters never gotaround to checking what GarbleTom had said in New York,when he returned from Antarc­tica, about the creature withthe unique name' of Mglafwhthnulgu.

by David MillerThere are days, thought Gar­

ble Tom Headweak, when it is adefinite mistake to get out ofbed. Unfortunately, there is noearly warning system. This morn­ing, for instance, he had beengoing to his office at nobleMatador College when he saw ayoung man who did not lookmuch like a Matador Collegestudent prowling around the buil­dings. So he went up to theyoung man and said, "Can I helpyou? Are you looking for some­one?"

And the young man replied,"Nah. I'm casin' the place.Gonna hijack it to Algeria."

"I'm afraid you're 'a littleconfused. This is MatadorCollege, and we don't have anyairplanes here. Besides, such anact ... "

"Doesn't matter. Gonna hi­jack the whole place."

"But a college can't fly!""That's the brilliance of the

scheme. The FBI will neversuspect until it is too late."

"Brilliance!?"The young man made a

gesture reminiscent bf JohnnyCarson quieting his audience."Please, no higher praise is neces­sary."

Garble Tom thought veryfast. "All right, go ahead if youmust, but I sure wish youwouldn't. You see, we do a lotof biological research here, andwe have a lot of delicate plantsand animals that couldn't ,standflying at high altitudes in unpres­surized laboratories. If you hijackus to Algeria, it will be a terribleloss to our campaign for religi­ously pure science."

"Oh. Gee. I didn't know. Butwhat'll I do? I gotta hijacksomebody." .

"Well, over on the other sideof town is a place called CowTech, and at Cow tech is a placecalled Dabless House. DarwinMillstone says tJ-~;r -:logan is,"You can eat anything you .......at Dabless's restaurant," and hesays they fly pretty high overthere, so why don't you tryhijacking them?"

The Beavers' cross countryteam lost a close dual-meetcCJmpetition to Claremont-Muddlast Friday on the Stags' homecourse. The final score was24-31.

Greg Griffin finished secondagain this week over the courseat Mt. San Antonio JuniorCollege. First place went toWayne Akeyama in a time of21: 27. Griffin finished 40 sec­onds later in 22: 07.

Griffin again ran a very strongrace over an extremely· toughcourse. Each meet he continuesto show improvement, and thiswas his best race of the season.

Scott Matthews finished 4thin 23:05, followed in 6th placeby Al Kleinsasser, 23:35; RalphHayward, 9th, 22:30; and TomHerman, 10th, 27:52. ErikHorsely, suffering the effects of acold, finished 11th in 29:08.

Overall, it was a fine showingby the Caltech Harriers. ThisFriday, the team will hostWhittier on its own course forthe first home meet of the year.

Except for Kleinsasser, thiswas the first experience for theteam over the rugged WalnutValley Course reputed to be themost difficult in the area. Theexperience should be valuable tothe Techers as the conferencechampionships will be held at thesame location in early November.The team's season mark nowstands at 1 win and 4 defeats.

Come Home, AlumniCoach Gutman predicts that

this Saturday's homecominggame against the Cal LutheranFrosh will be a tough one. Lastyear the Cal Lutheran varsitywon the NAIA championship,and it is rumored that thishelped them recruit many goodfrosh.

Added attractions at thisweekend's game include theCaltech song girls, the marchingband, and many drunk alumni.And, if the team comes throughas it did at last year's home­coming, there will be a wienerroast at some intersection inPasadena.

Homecoming Saturday

by Bob KieckheferFriday the thirteenth was an

unlucky day for Caltech's foot­ball team, as they lost to the LaVerne jayvees, 18-3. JohnRogers' 25-yard field goal in thefirst quarter was Tech's onlyscore.

The Beavers were hurt mostby fumbles, often triggered bybreakdowns in their offensiveline. One drive was stopped onthe La Verne four when afumbled handoff was recoveredby La Verne. By the final gunCaltech had fumbled three timesand La Verne five, but Tech'scame in much more criticalsituations.

No BonfireTech's defense held well

against La Verne's rushing game,allowing 115 yards in 33 at­tempts, except for one break­down which resulted in a 52yard touchdown run. The Beaversecondary had a hard timecontaining the passing game,however, as La Verne completed9 of 22 for 187 yards.

Bob Bales quarterbacked theteam last week, completing 5 of19 passes for 64 yards. JackStemple and Greg Hoit were hisprime targets, gaining 34 and 33

tibers can carry vastly largerquantities of information."

"A single, small optical fibercan typically carry an amount ofinformation equivalent to twomillion telephone conversationssimultaneously," Dr. Yariv said."The fiber diameter is smallenough so that thousands ofthem can be accommodated­inside a pipe less than one inchin diameter."

The reason. optical fibers cancarry so much more informationthan metal wires is that informa­tion capacity increases with thefrequency of the carrier waveand the frequencies of opticalwaves are much larger (by afactor of about ten thousands)than that of electrical currentsnow in use.

"Glass fibers not only aremuch more efficient, they alsocost much less than copper oraluminum wiring and are farlighter in weight," Dr. Yarivadded.

This new mode of communi­cation is now waiting for thedevelopment and invention ofnew "integrated optical circuits"which will serve as the transmit­ters whereby information islaunched onto the fibers, andreceivers where it is recovered.These components must be mini­ature so they can interface withthe miniscule fibers, yet becapable of performing the basicoptical functions of light genera­tion, guiding, modulation anddetection.

"Not really. I knew Boris wasgodounov to give me a lot oftrouble, but I figured he wasbadenov that I could beat himand I was right."

"There are other sorts ofchess besides the standard inter­national type you play."

"Yes, there are several sets ofrules played in certain countrieson the 8-by-8 board, and thenthere is a game played in Polandon a IO-by-IO board."

''I've also heard of somethingcalled 'fairy chess', where youmake up your own board andpieces. Do you ever play fairychess?" Almost immediatelyGarble Tom realized that he hadsaid something wrong. The feel­ing grew on him as he watchedBaby. Flasher turning first red,and then purple. And then hethought of the physical trainingchess champions go through towithstand the tensions of play.He thought of the way BabyFlasher had worked out with thepunching bag at that resort inthe Catskills, and Garble Tomdecided to run. It was a goodthing he did.

"Well, this is a TV show, Mr.Flasher, so we have to have lightsand cameras."

"Oh. Yeah." Garble Tom hadan obscure feeling that BabyFlasher was trying to be funny.

"We could say your victoryrepresents a triumph for free­dom, couldn't we?"

"Yeah. Of course, I knewBoris intended it to be symbolicthe way he would stop where thefloor was laid out in alternatingblack and white squares and thenstep forward two squares, andthen just go along one square ata time.

His criticismlay in the nature of the plans,rather. "We must provide apositive incentive to work, not anegative incentive to work as wehave now."

We asked Binkley how hisbipartisanship might fare shouldhe be elected to Congress.

"I'll vote the issues . . . differwith the party, or the admini­stration. Many Congressmen dothis, believe it or not."

"People feel when you don'tvote the straight party line youjeopardize your power" by notgetting good committee assign­ments, etc. "This need notalways be true. Binkley citedseveral powerful congressmenwho often oppose the party.

What are your chances?"We're probably running very

close right now. The 20% to 30%undecided vote will throw it oneway or another. ... We havebeen finding 60% to 70% un­decided in Republican precincts."

"The momentum of my cam­paign is fantastic ... For thefirst time in the history of thedistrict, it's a close race."

He also stressed his differences.with McGovern on amnesty: "Ibelieve in two years of nationalservice, as for e.O.'s."

What effect will McGovern'scandidacy have on Binkley'srace?

"I am running as a Democrat,but with bipartisan support. I amrunning independent of anyother candidates."

Binkley admitted that closelyidentifying his campaign withMcGovern's might hurt him atthe polls, but maintained thatpolitical considerations were notthe only reasons for not tying hiscampaign to McGovern's. "Idon't agree down the line withMcGovern, or with Nixon forthat matter."

"I respect Nixon for hisaccomplishments with China andstrategic arms limitations." How­ever, Binkley finds Nixon lesssatisfactory on domestic issues."I don't agree with him onbusing or the economy." Binkleylabeled Nixon's domestic pro­grams "divisive."
