I realize this is asking a lot takingthe time, not only to write a review, butto remember back to first or second termto what we all would most like to forget- but I urge you to try. The success ofthis year's CL.U.E. depends on it.
But this is not all I'm asking of you,no sir! Shortly after Drop Day, you willreceive more requests those for thirdterm. I urge you to fill those out whilethe experiences are fresh in your mind.
So there it is. This CL.U.E. is notthe beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the making of theCL.U.E. But it is a beginning (apologies to Robert Jordan).

Many of you (undergrads) will find3-5 requests for (Courseing for Undergraduate Education) reviews for first and second term classese-mailed to you in the next week or so.You may have noticed that you did notget requests first or second term aboutthese classes and are wondering why theyhave arrived so late. Well, I'll tell you.Here at Caltech, slackers abound. Theformer ASCIT Director ofAcademic Affairs was no exception. Yes, requests forfirst and second term should have goneout long ago, but they haven't. That'swhy they're going out now.
A little bit about the mechanics ofcollecting reviews (please bear with me):this year, in order for the average studentto receive 3-5 requests (instead of 7-9),we have limited the requests to 20% ofeach class (e.g., out of 200 people in

For example, theMechanical Engineering studentscould turn the monolith into theworld's largest Rube Goldbergmachine, capable of raising anegg ten tloors over eight miles oftracking using the potential energy of the EncyclopediaBritannica, only to drop the eggunharmed into Millikan pond.Better still, the building could bereserved for the super.stacks ofthe brightest Seniors in theschool, turning Ditch Day into anationally televised event. Onefriend suggested convertingMillikan library into the world'slargest manifestation of life- sizedHooks and Ladders - should wereplace the die with definite integrals?
My only destructive suggestion is to let the earthquake engineering folk shake Millikanbuilding to failure in one of thegrandest experiments to date ofinstrumented building failure dueto large ground motion. My favorite idea is perhaps even a constructive one: convert the building into undergrad housing andconvert one of the old buildingsnear the Athenaeum into the library. I suspect that a room witha view nine floors to explore, andthose super high ceilings wouldmake the undergrads happy abouthaving given up the lore associated with the houses.
Ifundergrad housing doesn'tgo down well, then theundergrads should at least be allowed to put the contents ofMillikan library on the lawn aspart of the biggest prank everpulled at Caltech. And herein liesthe ultimate irony of my letter:instead of trying to make Millikana home for books, why not try tofind something that is at home inMillikan?

Not any more! Radical ideassuch as moving the contents ofMillikan onto the lawn can spawneven more radical ideas since thefloodgates have now been openedand the torrent unleashed. So letthe ideas tlow...
A digression into possibleuses of the building is definitelyin order here. The word "dysfunctional" became popular in the sixties, around the same time that theMillikan library was conceivedand erected. It would thereforeseem appropriate to ascribe thatword to the library. In fact,Millikan could be converted intoa museum of dysfunctional buildings, with the daily trials andtribulations of Caltech studentsenacting vorticity from aLagrangian perspective servingas the prime exhibit.
The Millikan museum couldeven have one of those revolvingrestaurants on the top that wouldcharge expensive prices for an exhi�aratingview of the San Gabrielmountains at sunset - whenavailable. The revolving aspectserves as an ever present reminderof the previous incarnation of thebuilding (and of the afterlife tocome). Areal money winner anda cultural boon for the campus the veeps would drool over thisidea for sure. Like I said earlier,leave the collection on the lawn;it is peripheral to the issue athand. We are talking big business here, and big business rules!

Since arriving at Caltech, Ihave wondered how this wholemess came into being in the firstplace. It is plain to see that theMillikan library building is amonolithic memorial edificeserving as a library and that it justdoesn't fit the job.
