William Richards Professor at Harvard, earned his Ph.D. degreefrom Caltech in 1954. He has beena pioneer in several areas ofchemistry. Two of these have involved the development oftheoretical methods for simulatingbiological macromolecules, andwork in classical trajectory calculations and their use in interpretingmodern experiments in chemicaldynamics. Recently his work hasfocused on studies of molecules important in living systems.
His research has formed thefoundation for several other groupswho are using methods that hedeveloped to predict the behaviorof biological molecules. A potential spinoff would be a new approach to the design of drugs withfewer side effects.
Roddam Narasimha is directorof the National AeronauticalLaboratory of India and professorof aerospace engineering at theCentre for Atmospheric Sciencesof the Indian Institute of Science.He earned his Ph.D. from Caltechin 1961.
Narasirnha is internationallyknown for his turbulence researchand his work in geophysical fluiddynamics and the atmosphericsciences. He is now at Caltech asthe Clark B. Millikan Visiting Professor and in 1982-83, he was atthe Institute as a Sherman FairchildDistinguished Scholar. Anhonorary fellow of the Aeronautical Society of India, he hasreceived many honors for his

of mother my children want me tobe." Barner, on the other hand,stressed the importance she placedon delegating work to her l2-yearold son, who was doing his ownlaundry at the age of 8. She saysthat a parent must decide how important it is to have a "traditional"childhood, and that she thinks herson is really a better person for being more responsible than otherchildren his age. Her son Remo,however, pointed out that he oftenhas trouble relating to other kids.
Other problems that the fourpanelists brought up were guilt andisolation. All agreed that guiltabout leaving their kids is alwayspresent. As Barner says, "I'm nevercomfortable anywhere. If I'm inlab, I think I should be home, andif I'm at home, I think I should beworking in the lab." Interestingly,Pless brought up the point that guiltcan be a positive force.

: discussing the impact that havingchildren had on their professionaland personal lives.
All the participants agreed thathaving children was a profoundlyfulfilling experience, but therewere sharp differences in the waysthat each handled this experience.One of the more interesting differences was between generations;Pless and Sargent spoke of wantingto be ideal mothers, in Sargent'swords, "the kind of mother I wantto be, whether or not it's the kind

Eugene Shoemaker, a geologistwith the U.S. Geological Survey inFlagstaff, was professor of geologyat Caltech from 1969 to 1985, anddivision chairman from 1969 to1972. He earned his BS degreefrom Caltech in 1947, and his MSdegree from the Institute in 1948.
Shoemaker has been a leader inthe development of lunar andplanetary science for more than 25years. He has initiated importantwork on paleomagnetic stratigraphy, planet-crossing asteroids,and continental deep crust drilling.His mapping of Meteor Crater inArizona is generally considered thefinest ever done on such a feature.
He has also been an active participant in the research involved inexploration of the solar system. Heis known as a stimulating, inspirational teacher by his formerstudents. Shoemaker has receivednumerous honors from NASA andprofessional societies for hisachievements.
was stolen by people working onBill Banks' stack. To recover theclue, go to room 5 Ricketts." Boththe note and the clue were to benumbered identically for identification purposes.
During the course of the day,a total of 13 clues were found bypeople doing my stack (one ofwhich was a clue from my ownstack). Notes were left at theoriginal site of each clue. At least50 people (I'm told) showed up atmy room claiming that clues hadbeen stolen from stacks they wereworking on. I have two possibleexplanations:
CD One or more people not involved with my stack may havebeen stealing clues for their ownreasons. There is evidence for thissince I know that at least two clueshad been stolen before Ditch Dayeven began.
@ Incompetent frosh workingon stacks could not find a cluewhere they thought it was supposed to be, and simply assumed it hadbeen stolen by people working onmy stack.
In conclusion, let me say that,yes, I thought my stack was obnoxious. Yes, I would do it again if Ihad it to do over. If my stackdirectly or indirectly caused problems for other stacks, I am sorry.Finally, I believe that my stack waswell within the honor system,although I believe that those people who stole clues, destroyedthem, and did not leave a note oranything, were taking unfair advantage of the seniors who placedthe clues in the first place.

I do, too, because he has everyright to life that I have. I mustrespect his person as he mustrespect mine. Besides, there arelaws against such violent action,and I would be stupid, to say theleast, to contest them. This is anexample of critical thinking as wellas of not experimenting with justany idea. The example also justifiesthe desire to establish peacefulcoexistence between the UnitedStates and the Soviet Union. OJcourse, that there are laws to prohibit our warring between eachother is to be doubted, since, asmentioned two weeks ago, effortsto establish such laws have consistently failed. But whatever thecase may be, thank God for criticalthinking! Without this, we wouldhave extinguished ourselves longago, and we would not even bethinking about establishing worldpeace now.
Stolen CluesTo the Editors:
Because so many people gotupset over the fact that part of myDitch Day stack involved the stealing of clues from other stacks, I amtaking this opportunity to explainthe rules of this part of my stack,and the facts as I know them.
Basically, the people workingon my stack were to go aroundcampus looking for random clues.Whenever a clue was found, it wasto be taken back to my room. Anote was to be left in exactly thesame place as the clue had been,reading: "The clue which was here

which did not look like SwissCheese after I was through with it.And the bubbles which appeared inthe ideas were not insignificantones, either, but were blown byfairly significant stumbling blocks,some of which I listed in my firstletter. Granted, these "stumblingblocks" are really my own opinionsabout humans, but they seemjustified in the light of history. Iwill not repeat the justificationshere, but will rather refer interestedreaders to my first letter, twoweeks ago.
What about experimenting withideas? I hope we shall not believethat much longer. The infamousSDI itself started out as an experiment, if one remembers the speechin which Reagan introduced theconcept. It is, at least outwardly,an experiment for peace; Reagansaid we will share the technologywith the Soviets so that we canerect mutual defenses. We apparently do not believe that, and infact do not want to experiment withit. Then what makes other proposals any more feasible? We mustcritique every proposal, and if wedo actualy find a truly feasible one,then to execute it will be the experiment. However, I must point outthat "debugging" such proposalswill be like "debugging" SDI. Wewill only know whether it works ornot when it will be too late to avertthe final disaster if it does not. Furthermore, I disagree that we arecurrently in the very bottom of thepit and that nuclear war is inevitable, such that any alternativeis better than what we are lookingat right now. Surely any situationis better than mass destruction, andthe status quo is such a situation forthe simple reason that we are notall dead yet. Some proposals, suchas SDI, or the "independent agency" mentioned before by Dr.Taylor, would, in fact, probablyworsen our p\-esent situation, forreasons already published.
I will now illustrate a case ofcritical thinking. Suppose I do notwant to have a roommate anymore. Should I kill him? Now, Ihope everyone agrees that this ispretty severe, and in fact, I hope

On CriticismTo the Editors:
I must agree with Ann Heil inher response last week to my letter the week before, that I was indeed quite critical in my assessmentof Dr. Taylor's proposals and offered very little to try to replacethem. However, I cannot agree thatI should forgo criticizing and concentrate upon thinking up newideas. Heil seems to believe thatthese two processes are independent, whereas I assert that theyshould be part of the same process,that of critically thinking.
I do respect those who make anhonest effort to think creatively tosolve this world problem, but (unfortunately) their ideas did not descend to us from Mount Sinai, andthus must be open to criticism byfellow humans. This is, in fact, thebasis for our own republicanpolitical system: by debate, wehope to find the best solution. Thecorollary of this is that thecalculated opinion of many is better than the opinion of one.Therefore, we cannot subscribe toanyone person's authority withouttesting it ourselves. A classic example of this is the mainstreammedieval scholastics' deference toAristotle's opinions. And we cannot shy away from criticizing ofanother's ideas; hopefully he willbe mature enough to take it, and wewill all be the better for it. Ofcourse, the critic must be responsible enough to state the reasonsbehind his objections, because thiswill add to the insight we need tosolve the problem at hand. Hence,if he is so responsible, the criticwill not destroy a purpose; he willadd to it.
Criticism must also be appliedon a more personal level. Whatdoes a person do when he "thinksabout" an idea? He turns it over inhis mind and tries to punch holesin it. This is why it is difficult tothink how to bring about disarmament. This is also why I have nonew ideas to replace Dr. Taylor's:I have not yet come up with an idea

The panelists stressed the joythat children brought to their lives.Having another source of selfesteem and reward apart from one'sjob was a major benefit. Barnerbrought up how much she enjoysbeing "plugged into" the nextgeneration, that most adultswithout children just aren't awareof what's going on in kids' minds.Having children and a career ispossible, according to all thepanelists.

FRIDAY 23 MAY 19865
The Inside WorldDabney: Well, just about everyone is aware by now that this weekwas "Senior Ditch Week" out at Cal-Tech in Pasadena. But what mostpeople don't know is that the folks at DABNEYCO CORPORATION werehaving some fun, too. Yes, that's right. Employee morale is high onthe list of DABNEYCO's corporate priorities-"a happy worker is a complacent worker!" - so the Department of Human Potential Exploitationhas come up with another first in the field of People Management. Thisweek DABNEYCO CORPORATION held its first annual "Executive VicePresident Vacation Day." The nature of the event is very straightforward. On the pretext of a three-hour lunch with an important connection, every senior executive vice-president takes off to the Bahamaswith his secretary. Left behind are the section managers, supervisors,auditors, technical and business staff, etc., collectively known as"Wimps." The Wimps have the length of one normal business day, eighthours (twenty four hours for salaried Wimps), to figure out a way tobreak into the executive VPs' secret unlisted Swiss bank accounts. Tomake the activity at least somewhat challenging, the filthy, grubby,imperialistic, bourgeois running pig-dogs - Excuse me. To make thetask worthy of the virtually boundless talents of our employees, thevice-presidents leave behind them a trail littered with false clues, paidassasins, dead politicians, and Swedish metaphysical dissidents. TheWimps are then obligated to wander, bitter and confused, throughbombed-out corporate offices, bemoaning their fate and the fate of allmankind. At the end of the working day, the glorious corporatenavigators return, chubby, slightly bronzed, and well-rested. Any Wimpfound actually to have succeded in breaking through an executive's "Wallof Creative Financing" (also known as "Stack"), is immediately thrownin prison.
This past Wednesday witnessed a glorious triumph for DABNEYco's human resources management, as statistics reflect a 47% rise inemployee morale. A particularly well-received aspect of "CorporateVice-President Vacation Day" was the employee mixer, held in the penthouse of the sumptuous Spalding Building on the lower east side. Theescorts were provided by (who else) OXYFEM CORPORATION, whichis the most likely candidate for DABNEYCO'S forthcoming annualexpansion.
We hope that "Executive Vice-President Vacation Day" was as muchfun for you as it was for us at DABNEYCO. Until next year, when thosewacky wimps and veeps are at it again, this is Jug Rappapappanopolopolis saying "Buy-buy!"
A company called DABNEYCO: where tommorow isn't just greasykid stuff.
-Alex PodgilmanPage: Last night was the awesome Cobra flick at the Mann-ChineseTheatre. Sylvester Stallone as well as the awesome 1950 Ford Mercury were there.
We now have discount passes ($3 instead of $6) to go to any movieplaying at a Mann theatre. They are available-yes, you guessed itin Syndicate Alley.
Syndicate Alley had beer bowling Wednesday night. Even thoughthey would not sell him another beer for obvious reasons, Parkinsonhad the highest score with a 135.
Our football team is doing well with a 4-0 record. We won't botherreturning insults, the score against Phlegming will do the talking. Toobad steaks cost more than hamburgers.
Every Friday before the second showing of the AS - - - movie,Syndicate Alley has a YAF sing-along. Anyone wishing to show theirpatriotism may join us. For warmup try:
Oh, my eyes have seen the horrors of the militant extremeI have heard about their tennis shoes and eyes that madly gleamThey are armed and more fanatical than you would ever dreamI'll track down every one.
Syndicate Alley is having its first immitation [sic] invitational. Thisweek features Chicken Ha and Bowers. Judged phrases will be "Vitodick" and "Miserable" respectively.
Syndicate Alley sincerely (very) apologizes to Jordan Woods forour organizational screwup concerning the election ballots. By the way,Jordan, there is no higher authority than THE SYNDICATE.
Don't miss the noon concert featuring The Captain; it's anotherchance to see the band after their explosive performance on Ditch Day.
- Cynthia KatherineRicketts: There was a gargantuan celebration of Andrew's birthdaythis week; the entire campus was out to celebrate. They were so coordinated they skipped classes and invited at least three forms of massmedia to the festivities. Too bad the seniors missed it. Josh Susser'sB-day was this week as well, but Bongo just brought donuts for theoccasion.
The Sophomores of the house managed to pull off anotherbrakedrum ringing. Too bad half the Frosh .failed to hear the call ofball peen hammer against chromed steel. Was Dave LePin really running off with it or was he just running off a sugar high?
Remember that anything can happen in this life-even Union Jacks'appearing on the Up Your Alley door.
-Josh-FroshRuddock: Greetings from the Budd Empire on which the sun neversets. Zonker Harris says to be sure and soak up your share of the raysthis Saturday at the 47th Tanning Invitational.
The Talent event for those without talent; who can't sing or playa musical instrument-AirBand. (Featuring Tina H-bar and many more,this weekend.)
Who leads in Alley Standings? Who won Advanced D&D? Whocares-long live Alley 4!
Win some, lose some ... the Budds split a few games with Page,Lloyd and Dabney. Guess which two we beat.
Seniors are wimps, and stacks are wimpy, but we got a bang outof Taney's and a (ahem) flash out of Rich's. Let's hope Doughboy,Taylor and Taney can act better than they can stack. We expect everyonein CSlO and in the Budd to be there just to see who gets shafted.
Well, being as I'm lame and this is late ... that's it for now.- Betsy the Frosh

dent of Fleming House, Frankdemonstrated his infectuous andpersuasive enthusiasm which isoften the mark of effective leadership. He had to contend with anumber of difficult issues bothwithin the House and in the Interhouse Council. In each of thesedisputes, he showed both a consideration of all point!i of view anda capacity to stand up for hisbeliefs. Whatever the issue, Frankhas displayed an openness and anhonesty which demands respectwhether one agrees or disagreeswith him. To Fleming House, hebrought a campus-wide perspectivewhile still maintaining the internalpride which has for so long beena characteristic of Fleming. Frankis respected for his active role inthe Interhouse Committee, and wasinstrumental in the preparations forthe 1986 Student/FacultyConference.

in common?CD Students trying valiantly to

® "Get over here! You're supposed to be dead!"
@ A love-crazed teenagerstabs herself experimentally with aboffer, provoking chuckles fromonlookers and her dead boyfriend.
Give up? It's rehearsals for thespring production of Romeo andJuliet, written by WilliamShakespeare, directed by ShirleyMarneus, and presented by TACIT(that wily group of Techers, staffmembers and friends).
The plot itself has seen manyvariations. West Side Story borrowed it from Shakespeare, who borrowed it from an earlierplaywright. Capulet and Montague, the two leading families of16th century Verona, have beenfeuding for three generations.Romeo Montague (Don Huntington) pines for the attention ofRosaline (Pamela Walton),daughter of a neutral house; to gether attention, he and his friendscrash a Capulet party Rosaline isattending. Once there, Romeodiscovers Juliet Capulet (HeidiAnderson), and both are smittenwith love. The two meet but don'texchange names, and as the partybreaks up Juliet learns of his identity from her nurse (AstridHoward). Later that night Romeo

stumbles into the Capulet backgarden while evading his teasingfriends, and meets Juliet a secondtime. The two formulate marriageplans, drawing the nurse and a friar(George Williams) into the scheming. None of the parents know ofthis,of course, because no onewould dare marry off the only twochildren of feuding households toeach other. The feud breaks intothe open the next day, when aplayful duel between Mercutio(Tracy Petersen), cousin to thePrince (Greg Tomko-Pavia), andTybalt Capulet (Rich Doughty),results in Mercutio's death. In a fitof rage, Romeo has his revengeand the Prince banishes Romeofrom Verona. Juliet is naturallydistraught at this. Her parents,believing that she weeps for hercousin Tybalt, engage her to theCounty Paris (Mark Maier) despiteher protests. The friar cooks up anew scheme to prevent the secondmarriage of Juliet without revealing the first. To make a long storyshort, the two lovers reconcile theirfeuding houses at the end of theplay. How? Come and see foryourself.
In an interesting departure fromstandard TACIT practice, all perfonnances will be held at 2:30 pm.Staged in Dabney Gardens, theproduction will be open to the airand sun- bring a hat or wearsunscreen if you burn easily. Datesare Saturday through Monday,May 24-26 (includes MemorialDay!), and Saturday, May 31, andSunday, June 1. Tickets are $6general admission, $4 for students,and group rates are available.
on May 19th, Peter Ashcroft andFrank Kragh were presented withthis year's Noland LeadershipAwards. Each ofthem will receivea check for $1,500. The NolandLeadership Awards are madeavailable each year by the AmetekCorporation in honor of its president, Mr. Robert L. Noland, whograduated from Caltech in 1941.
These awards are intended toencourage and reward the development of leadership qualitiesamongst the scientists andengineers who, they hope, will oneday be heads of industry. Ametekwishes to recognize not only thosewho take charge in leading othersbut also those who inspire and encourage others to fulfill theirleadership potential.
Peter Ashcroft, currently asenior in Applied Physics, receivesthe award for the influence he hashad on the quality of undergraduatelife as well as the persuasive encouragement he has given otherstudents to accept and succeed inleadership positions.
As Blacker House president in1984-85, Peter led the members ofthe House to greater participationin campus-wide social and athleticactivities. The effect of this changecontinues to be felt today asBlacker enjoys a higher level ofrecognition in student governmentand intramural sports, and a varietyof other campus activities. In1985-86, Peter took over as coeditor of The California Tech. Inspite of his lack of experience injournalism and newspaper management, Peter showed remarkabletenacity and was able to bring newspirit to The Tech.
Frank Kragh, a senior in Electrical Engineering, earns thisaward for his contributions toundergraduate residential life andstudent affairs, as well as the styleand effectiveness of his leadership.

Write For CookiesThe Caltech Y is sponsoring a letter
writing campaign to let the Provost and otheradministrators know what the undergraduateand graduate students want in the way ofa student center, as a frontal assault onbureaucratic inertia. As an incentive, the Yis offering each letter-writer a coupon for2 free cookies at the Red Door Cafe. Allyou have to do is compose a letter describing what you want in the way of a studentcenter, and send it to the Yat 218 - 5\. TheY will take care of the rest, and make surethat the letters get delivered to the important hands. The deadline for letters is June6, 1986, and the cookie coupons are goodthrough June 13, 1986. Suggested topics forletters include:
What facilities you want in a studentcenter. Think in terms of what you wouldreally like to see and would like to use.
Where you want a student center, andwhether you want a new building or additions to present facilities.
Any other concerns about the studentcenter-whether you want one at all, the advantages or drawbacks of grad/undergradsocializing, or anything else you can thinkof.
Remember, if enough of you don't getoff your posteriors and at least say what youwant, "they" will be able to say "Why botherspending money, the students don't care."
