be aware of the rather bizarrefaculty decision last year toconsolidate any course offered intwo departments into one course.For example, no longer are thereany such courses as Bi 132b orCh 132b; there is now only onecourse, called Bi/Ch 132b. Thiscreates a problem in that all ofthe registrar's expensive forms,such as transcripts, registrationcards, and grade reports, onlyhave room for a three-character

These didnot run extremely smoothlyowing in part to confusion overrules (caused somewhat by thejudges) but also to the fact thatabout this time, the power forthe public address system mys­teriously vanished. None of thisseemed to faze the contestantsmuch, and the freslimen went onto win these events.

Next was the Mudeo Queenand Princess leapfrogging event.The freshmen were able to putup two eligible candidates, butthe sophomores were forced toenter one bonafide queen andone token princess--none ofwhich mattered, since the fresh­men also took this event, makingBecky Hartsfield the currentMudeo queen, and Lisa Heinz thecurrent Mudeo princess.

About this time, the soph­omores were beginning to feelthat they had lost the entirecontest (which was quite correct,but that was beside the point),however, some traditional Mudeolast-minute point-juggling bothprolonged the contest and anger­ed the freshmen.

BOC Urges Student AdherenceTo Computer Usage Guidelines

As everyone should know, thebasic concept of the HonorSystem is that one must nevertake unfair advantage of anothermember of the Caltech com­munity. This concept demands agreat deal of awareness on thepart of community members:awareness of one's actions andawareness of the consequences ofone's actions. In recent times theBoard of Control has seen that,with regard to the ComputingCenter, many people on campussuffer from the latter sort of lackof awareness. The Honor Systemdoes apply to the ComputingCenter and accordingly the Boardfeels that some consciousnessraising regarding the operationsof the Computing Center wouldbe helpful.

I would like to express mydisapproval of the type ofreporting represented by DavidAngulo's article in the 11-8-74Tech, particularly the last para­graph on the JV polo game.

Why did the presence of afemale player on the Redlandsteam turn the game into a "ruse"or a "humorous diversion"? Whyshould a game be considered ajoke or a trick because a femaleis as capable at competingathletically as her male team­mates? Since the mighty studs ofthe Caltech water polo teamcan't seem to win any games,they might do well to recruit afew capable female players.

Angulo might reply that hewas simply recording the reac­tions of the audience to thegame. Then why did he chooseto make such a point of thereactions to a single foul com-

Dennis Mallonee's criticism ofASCII two weeks ago was rea­sonably accurate. I tried toexplain ASCII to the frosh in aTech article the first week ofschool and failed miserably,frankly because I don't knowwhat it does either.

But this is not cause fordespair. I keep telling myself thatany student corporation that hasan annual budget of over$15,000 can do somethingworthwhile. Thus far, this poten­tial has not been realized.

One Might Ask WhySome philosopher (I don't

know which one) once said thatpeople get the kind of govern­ment they are willing to put upwith. In many cases this is true; Ithink ASCIT is a good exampleof this. If students don't careabout $22/year on their Institutebill then they can't expect it todo much for them. I urge every

Dr. Alton Jensen, senior re­search engineer in the Infor­mation and Computer SciencesDepartment, posted notices lastweek of a quarter-old policyseverely restricting the use of theBurroughs computer for com­puter games.

His policy limits computergaming to four purposes: publicrelations demonstrations, labora­tory work assignments, researchand analysis of man/machineinterface, and design studies fordevelopment of new games.

Jensen did this because gamesact as "a conflict with productivework." Students shunted aside an

The intent of the AdvisoryCommittee was to provide easyand adequate access to anystudent who wishes to pursue hisown intellectual investigationsand to relieve the faculty whowish to use the PDP·lO insupport of classroom or home­work assignments of the burdenof setting up specific accounts.Thus the kinds of computingpermitted cover a broad spec­trum and it is easier to list thefew prohibitions associated withthis account than to specify itsapplications:

Restatement of ComputingCenter Policy on PDP-IO

At the suggestion of the Compu­ting Facilities Advisory Commit­tee, and with the approval of theAdministration, the ComputingCenter is experimenting with anew policy governing student useof the PDP·lO computer duringthe 1974-1975 school year.

In the past few years, eachstudent was offered a "birth­right" account of $50 whichcould be used on the PDP-lO athis own discretion. Additionalincrements of $50 were doledout rather freely upon appli­cation to the Computing Center,but students generalIy seem tohave felt that his $50 (or n times$50) 'limit' severely restrictedtheir use of the computer, Theexperiment in 1974-75 is to doaway with this limit.

As in the past, each studentwishing access to the compu~r

will obtain an account byreporting to the ComputingCenter Business Office, Room158, Jorgensen. This account, aspreviously, has been set up bythe administration to pay theComputing Center for alI student

mental to other users and tosystem integrity, including inci­dents of "crashing" the system.

Many frequent student com­puter users claim that they musthack the system in order to doadvanced programming and tolearn how the software works.This need to hack is notcompletely justifiable; nonethe­less it is understandable. Al­though some students have re­ceived permission to exerciseprivileges on the computer, fewopportunities exist. Althoughthere are manuals and seminarsregarding the system software,nothing can replace actual on-lineexperience. Unfortunately, Com­puting Center officials themselvesseem unclear on the opportuni­ties (i.e. use of privileged ac­counts, access to system pro­grams, etc.) available to students.Three separate officials inter­viewed by 'Board members gavethree separate views of what isand what is not available tostudents in regard to the com­puter. Therefore, the Boardencourages the frequent users toreorganize the computer club andwork to secure increased studentopportunities in advanced pro­gramming.

only a few rules regarding theuse of its facilities. Most of theserules can be found in thepamphlet which was distributedat registration and which isreprinted elsewhere in this paper.This pamphlet provides somesound guidelines to proper usageof computer accounts. (It shouldbe noted that this year's "unlim­ited" 29970 accounts to whichthe pamphlet refers, will have alimit placed on them shouldusage dramatically increase.)

One of the more controversialsubjects related to the use of thecomputers is the subject ofcomputer hacking. To paraphrasethe aforementioned pamphlet,hacking can be defined as theintentional use of an account toexercise privileges to which theuser is not entitled. The Comput­ing Center, of course, opposeshacking; its policy is explained inits pamphlet. The Board feelsthat all users should be certainthat their actions while using thecomputer system do not undulyinterfere with other users or withthe operation of the computer.Hacking is dangerous as itexposes the system software, tothe risk of impairment. It isindeed unfortunate that in recentyears hackers have been respon­sible for many incidents detri-

accounts, as they are called, aregiven primarily to researcherswho bring money to the Institutefrom outside sources. ,ThePDP-lO almost pays for itself, sovery little of the Institutesubsidy goes to it. No "funnymoney" accounts exist on thePDP-lO.

The concept of the realmoney value of computer ac­counts has been difficult formany people to accept. Studentshave often felt that the fiftydollar PDP-lO accounts of pre­vious years were "funny money."This belief was often justifiedwith the remark, "Nobody evergave me fifty dollars before, so itmust not be real." Some studentseven felt the accounts issued byinstructors (in Ch3, Ph3, etc.)were also "funny money." Yetall of these accounts were paidfor and people who used them inunauthorized or improper man­ners were responsible for wastingmany hundreds or thousands ofInstitute dol1ars. Ch3, in particu­lar, was hit by a plague ofunauthorized game players lastyear. Users should remember thatthe person paying for theaccount has the right to deter­mine what the account mayormay not be used for.

The only real flaw in theperformance itself was that attimes some of the charactersturned into caricatures, less be­lievable than they might other­wise have been. Betsy Savage wasparticularly good as Mrs. Alving,as was John Chilton as Oswald.These two, along with JanelleBuff -(Regina), King Stuart(Pastor Manders), and GeorgeKyron (Engstrand) provided agenerally well-received perform­ance.

current dramatic effort, ratesclose attention. Some of HenrikIbsen's themes may seem passeby today's liberal standards, butthere are those who still live inthe nineteenth century.

The plot is tight and intritate,the characters are few, the play'sduration is the space of a singlenight. The only scene is that of asitting room in a Norwegiancountry house, and the off-stageaction is strictly limited.

Ghosts was written in 1881,two years after A Doll's Houseand in some ways is an alternateending and continuation of thatearlier play. That is, instead ofthe wife walking out of themarriage, the wife remains. Atthe time of Ghosts, however, ithas been ten years since CaptainAlving died.

A few years ago, a lot ofsmall record stores were carryinga mysterious record. It had nofancy labelling, and no apparentartist. All it said was, "GreatWhite Wonder." The record was

underground

earrumored to be previously unre­leased material by Bob Dylan,issued without the permission ofColumbia records. That was thestart of modern pop recordbootlegs.

The result of the popularityof 'that first GWW record wasthat a lot of enterprising peoplestarted sneaking tape reconlersinto concerts, convincing lar­cenous sound engineers to makeextra copies of masters, andother miraculous methods ofobtaining music without theknowledge or consent of therecord companies were devisedand used. Several hip entre­preneurs made small fortunes ':bymarketing these bootlegs, sincethe laws on the subject wererather weak. Finally, pressure bythe recording industry caused arash of federal laws that have atleast forced the toning-down ofthe marketing of bootleg records.

There has always been one

major problem with buying boot­leg records of your favorite stars:the recording quality. In somecases it is excellent, but in othersthe sound is terrible at best. Onemajor rock star said "I don'tmind being bootlegged so much,it's rather flattering. I just wishthey'd make ones with decentsound quality." The purpose ofthis column is to separate themusical wheat and chaff.

Crosby, Stills, Nash andYoung is definitely chaff. Thisbootleg seems to be a bootleg ofan earlier bootleg. The originalwas put out by a companylovingly known as "Rubber Dub­ber," while this new edition is byLid Records. It seems to be arecording of a concert given at

the Forum in Inglewood on June26, 1970. The concert itself hada lot of good music, and thesongs included on the album areamong the best ever done by thegroup. Unfortunately, the recor­ding sounds as if it were done ona cheap 1970 cassette machinebeing held under water. Thismanages to outweigh the value oflive versions of good music. Thisnew edition seems to' be aneffort to take advantage of theCSNY concert tour a couple ofmonths ago. Many bootlegs aremade in an effort to give fanssomething new to listen to. Thisone is just a rip-off of thelistener by Lid Records. Don'tbuy it.

Center to enforce constraints oncomputer utilization only to theextent required to assure that allusers have equal access to theresources. In the present case,the need for restrictions will notbe anticipated but will beimposed and enforced if andwhen the need arises.

However, experience at othersimilar installations (Science, VoL184, p. 957, 1974) has shownthat even enthusiastic use of thefew "computer fanatics" amonga student population cannot useup an embarassingly large frac­tion of the main resources of atimeshared computer. CertainfIxed resources, such as diskspace or line-printer output mayhave to be restricted if they areabused. The PDP-lO operatingsystem presently will not assign aregion larger than 56K words toa single user. It is hoped that thislimit will not have to be reviseddownwards.

As we stated in the firstparagraph, this new policy is aone-year experiment. Its futuredepends heavily on this year'sexperience. We believe this newarrangement is a good one andthat it will work satisfactorily.Whether we prove to be right orwrong depends on you.

Thesubtlest nuances of expressionwere carried off as beautifullywith Mr. Farr's experienced useof the delicate flute stops as thespectacular themes on the anti­phonal trumpets.

One of the work's fascinatingfeatures is the use of whatMessiaen calls "CommunicativeLanguage." Here every letter ofthe alphabet is assigned a note,and a sentence (in French) isplayed on the organ. This has arather confused sound; often onevoice speaks the communicativelanguage and others support itwith chords. While at first thisseems interesting very shortly itbecomes old. At this point onecan only appreciate Dr. Gillock'srendering of such sustained ran­dom dissonance. Messiaen aug­mented his musical alphabet witha rising and falling musical se-

Olivier Messiaen's Meditationssur Ie Mystere de la SainteTrinite, perfoImed last Sunday atAll Saints Church, is a creativeand clever means of communi­cation between the composer andthe listener. Messiaen is knownfor avant-garde compositions butthis organ work combined thebest elements of classical andcontemporary style.

The work is structured in ninemeditations, with different sec­tions within each meditation.The detailed libretto proved in­valuable in determining themessage of each section; variousparts convey images· of majesty,compassion, eternity, and solid­ity. The program allowed theaudience to anticipate each moodand enhance it, often with aBiblical passage in explanation.

The 1972 American Tour byEmerson, Lake & Palmer is atleast of good recording quality.It includes concert versions ofsome familiar material, "Picturesat an Exhibition" and "Tarkus",as well as something called"Grand Finale," which seems tobe the closest ELP come to justjamming in a concert. Therecording was made on July 28,1972 at the Long Beach Arena,and is a double album with wellover an hour of ELP music. Thequality of the record is good, butnot great.
