ASCIT Adopts Hotly Disputed '59·60 Budget After six weeks of considera- tions, the Board of Directors fi- nally adopted an ASCIT budget Monday night showing total ex- penditures of $13,788 for the next fiscal year. Nearly all items took a s,harp cut from the original proposals, usually in the face of heated ob- jections from representatives of the organizations involved. Major questions of the nature and expense of athletic' awards and what to do with over half of the $4000 surplUS were left unre- solved. Athletic Awards Monday's session revived a number of suggestions for econ- omizing by giving fewer awards to lettermen out of the ASCIT funds. Tebben noted that honor keys which "represent more service and work for the school" only cost $6 and sweaters and jackets cost up to $20. Several board members felt a distinction should be made be- tween the $1.06 letter which is the actual award and the jacket and sweater on which the letters are worn. Others felt that at present the prestige is attached to the sweater and jacket and that these items are more in line with awards given at other schools in the conference. Seven different award plans were discussed. most involving retaining only two of the present three awards (sweater. jacket. blanket). Na final decision was reached; the matter was referred to a committee. "Cornucopia" The controversial $600 for mis- cellaneous office expenses stood unaltered because Business Man- ager Bill Hilchey was absent, making a detailed accounting un· available. Mike Milder chal- lenged the need for a profession- al secretary hired at $350. Bauer explained that she types and (Continued on page 2) "The Heart, this year's ASCIT play, will be presented Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Culbertson. Curtain times are 8:30 on Friday and Saturday and 8:00 on Sunday's family night. Last Thursday in a well·at- tended contest, Art McGarr won the prized bit part in the play. According to publicity manager Keith Brown, McGarr's inborn acting ability for pulling faces in absence of lines will make him a smashing success. Set in a British general hos- pital in Asia, "The Hasty Heart" focuses on the interrelationship of people of different races and nationalities. Ken Dinwiddie, the male lead, plays a tight-lipped Scotchman who finally learns it is fun to talk to other people, and Karen (Mrs. Bill) Beach, the only girl in the east, plays an under- standing nurse. Other actors include Bob Poe, Bm Hilchey,' Chris Larsen, Larry Elmore and Stu Goff, all taking roles as representative people from random countries. Tickets are $1.00 for students and $1.50 for others at the book- store or from House representa- tives. Because the play will be theater in the round, only about 250 seats are available. Mike Talcott will direct the produc- tion. Athletic Awards Given Next Week The Annual Spring Awards Banquet will be held in Tourna- ment Park next Wednesday eve· ning. Spring athletic awards, inter- house trophies and honor keys will be presented at the assem- bly. Tickets for the dinner, which will follow the presenta- tions, are available from House representatives. Installment Plan Also Affects Scholarships Two plans for deferring tui- tion payments over periods up to 11 years were announced this week by the business office. All undergraduate scholarship hold- ers will also be affected by the new plans. Beginning with first term, next year, any undergraduate in good standing, inclUding entering frosh, can defer all or part of his tuition payments under ei- ther of two plans. Plan A Under plan A a stUdent may defer the entire $1275 yearly tuition by paying $50 a month from the date of entering the plan until any outstanding bal- ance has been paid., These in- stalments will include 5 per cent interest on the unpaid balance and premiums on an insurance policy which pays off any out- standing balance in the event of the death of the student or of the parent responsible for his sup- port. H less than the full tuition is deferred, the monthly payments can be less than $50, but an upperclassman deferring full tui- tion will pay $50 a month over a shorter time period. Plan B Plan B provides for smaller payments, made each term, dur- ing the undergraduate years with the $50 monthly install- ments beginning six months aft- er graduation and continuing until the balance is paid. The same interest rate and insurance plan is included. Minimum payments under plan B would be: freshman year, $398.44; sophomore, $4045.32; jun- ior, $492.19; senior, $539.07. Plan A would amount to a minimum of $600 per year. Financial need will not be a factor in the determination of eligibility for these plans.

This time clock is tempera­ture dependent, and if the tem­perature causes the plant to getproportionally out of phase withthe "day," it will get sick. Out­side, though, nature resets theclocI\. every day.

Typical of some of the otherresearch being done in the labis a Geodetic Survey project todetermine how soil is formedwith special regard toward silic~and plant formation.

Another more general projectis the study of environment onsucceeding generations, which isdescribed as "hereditary" but not"genetic," because these effectsdie out after a few generations.

that is under study now is aCampbeII's Soup Co. tomato de­velopment stUdy. Have faithwhen better Ketchup is made:CampbeII's will do it.

To underwrite their way,CampbeII's Soup has donated$100,000 to Earhart Labs for theconstruction of a new, complete­ly air-conditioned greenhouse.Construction should begin short­ly, making Caltech's plant phys­iology lab run even more smooth­ly than it now does.

BY TOM TISCH"Just go in the door there

and take off all your Clothes.""No! Not that door, the one

marked 'Gentlemen.'''That's how my visit to Amelia

Earhart Plant Research Lab be­gan this fine Monday afternoon.It was the most fascinating aft­ernoon I <have spent in a longwhile.

Dr. H. J. (for Hendrik Jan)KeteIIapper and I found our­selves inside the tightly quar­antined lab.

"To' study why plants growwhere they do, thus providing ascientific basis for ecology," saidLab Director Ketellapper inbroadly outlining the lab's pur­pose.

"What we do here is to growuniform plants, then SUbjectthe~ to the varying conditions,WhICh we make here in the lab.We can vary the temperature,lighting and to a limited extentthe humidity, in addition to theplant nourishment."

Hack, HackHowever, the plants may be

grown originally, they certainlydidn't seem uniform to me asKeteIIapper and I cut our wayacross a greenhouse with acurved machete, finally to get aIQok at some crab grass. I waslater politely informed that itwasn't.

Along side of the "crab grass,"was a Venus fly-catcher~really

frustrated since there are virtu­aIIy no stray insects in the lab.

Passing by the coffee tree­"we beat the high prices, here,"explained Ketallapper-we wentout into the atrium, where theplants are prepared, examinedand photographed.

"As you can tell, we don't usesoil, in its real sense, here. Wetake crushed, sterilized graveland mix it with a heat expandedmica ore (trade name, Vermicu­lite). This mixture serves onlyto hold moisture and support theplant."

I asked if there was any prob­lem with "infections," recaIIingthat he had mentioned sterilizedgravel.

No Eye IrritationPuffing on a sterilized (I'm not

kidding) cigarette, Ketellappersaid that for the most part, thelab didn't have too much trou­ble, though this is one reasonwhy the visiting is so limited(I had to show my press cardat the door to be the 900 oddthguest in 10 years).

Effect on Scholarships

The Committee on Undergrad­uate Scholarships has revised itspolicies to take into account thedeferred tuition plan. Since theplan is available to all under­grads, the committee will at·tempt to grant scholarships onlyto those students for whom needexists after the tuition has beendeferred.

The committee will base theirindividual student's budget fig­ures on plan A'S $600 minimumtuition payments. C.ombinedwith other expenses, this willamount to $1795 per year, exclud­ing travel. This year's scholar­ships have been based on a $2100plus travel figure.

that wIll be av~IIable next term (See story, p. 1) is going totake some gettJ~g. used to. It will be an uneasy feeling toknow you are building up a five-thousand dollar, ten-year debt.

!he plan is considerably better than nothing. InstallmentbUying of cars and TV sets is part of our Iife and the extensionof the idea to education is a natural and businesslike thing.

However, two criticisms of the plan, as it now stand's, canbe made. First, the plan fails to take into account a student'sgraduate career. One look at the outside world will show thata graduate senior working at HLJghes is in much better shapefor paying off a loan than one who wants to spend his next sixyears working on a PhD.

Second, the effecf the plan is going to have on individuals~holarship holders looks bad. Many one-year scholarshipswIll be cut and few, if any, of the four-year ones will be in­creased. It's probably the best we can do but it would be niceif we could have more. '

Welcome to

On the Interhouse basketball,;cene, surprisingly strong Rick·etts House was perched atop thestandings as of last Tuesday.After barely nudging BlackerHouse, 24-21, the Scurvs cameback to topple favored DabneyHouse by one point, 31-30. Rick­etts, behind the whole game, ex­cept for the last 30 seconds,combined a pressing defensewith a fast·driving offense tograb the win.

Blacker House, after twostraight losses, jumped into thewin column by whipping Throop,26-23, last Monday. The gamewas very tightly played, withthe outcome in doubt until thefinal seconds. Blacker, behindat the start of the last quarter,relied on its superior benchstrength to overcome a tired,undermanned T h roo p Club,;quad.

After being defeated by Rick­etts, Dabney seemed to cure itsproblem of lack of depth, androared back to trim previouslyundefeated Fleming, :n-28. TheDarbs led by a slim marginthroughout the game.

Aside from John Munson, whotanked ten points, and LarryShampine, who played a greatfioor game, the Dabney attackwas extremely well balanced,down to the last sub.

The Dabney victory left thechampionship still a three teamrace, with a three'vvay tie forfirst between Dabney, Flemingand Ricketts a strong possibility.

The Discobolus trophy will reoside in Fleming House next fall.The Klokemen cinched the hard­ware by downing Ricketts in abowling match.

Down by more than 50 pinsmidway through the last anddeciding match, the Flems put ona last frame spurt to win by ascant six pins. The telling fac·tor in the match was the bal·ance of the Fleming squad, astheir highest and lowest scorerswere about 30 pins apart in thelast game.

Emery-Coached Tank TeamNew Conference Champions

BY TOM TISCHCaltech s w i m min g teams

earned their conference cham­pionships this year. The guyswere willing, the coach wasthere to show them how anddrive them, and they all knewwhat they were after. They gotit, too - four varsity conferencerecords and two conferencechampionships.

While a lot of credit is due toCoach Web Emery for his cool­headed yelling and patience,more is due to the swimmerswho worked - and worked.

From the beginning of secondterm, fellows like Gary Tibbetts,Keith Brown, Don Owings, Rog­er Bland and Bob Blanford haveworked constantly, occasionallyon Saturdays., AAU meets pro­vided periodic competition forthe gang in addition to regularconference meets.

You can bet the Conferencechampionship wasn't in the bagfrom the beginning of the sea·son. Brown set a new butterflyrecord to help earn it, Owings anew beraststroke record, andTibbetts chopped 23 seconds offhis 440 in securing the trophy.

Don't forget the guys thatdidn't set the re~ords. Bob Bland·ford (three firsts in Conference'finals) and Doug McLane head·ed this list.

Keep in mind the remainderof the 20 swimmers who con·tributed their time and effort tothe team. Some earned pointsin the finals, some only in meets,but all had a great deal to dowith making the team a goingconcern.

The first part of the seasonalways shows the Caltech teamas a bunch of bleached-out stu­dents. But boy. there is satis·faction in giving the sun·bronzedswimmers of other teams a gooddunking.

Our gang knows the waythrough the water; let's givethem a deserved nod.

to send over the winning run inthe 10th inning of last Wednes·day's game to annex a narrow·1-3 extra-inning thriller.

Loose fielding played the ma­jor role in the Beaver defeat asfive crucial errors wrecked allCaltech chances for victory. Mar·ty Kaplan, losing pitcher, JohnWalsh and John Price togetheryielded only four hits to PasNazagainst Caltech's nine·hit offense.

Merrill, Blakemore, Walsh andHartung smacked consecutivehits in the third inning to givethe losers a short·lived 3-1 ad·vantage.

Karl Pool, having his best dayof the seeason, rapped two sin­gles in four trips to spark theBeaver hitting attack.

Beavers Drop TwinbillOxy, who had previously split

two extra-inning games with thehosts, grabbed 8-6 and 14-0 vel"dicts to sink the Beavers deeperin the loop cellar.

A four-run outburst in theseventh inning gave Oxy a per·manent lead., Price took overmound duty in the bottom ofthe seventh to relieve Kaplan,who absorbed the loss.

Walsh, fattening up his av­erage, clipped four singles to topthe Caltech hitters again. First·sacker Skip Stenbit picked upa single and a doubl~ in fiveat bats to round out the nine·hit Beaver performance.

Oxy hurler Chavez spun anifty two·hitter in silencing theBeaver bats for a decisive shut­out.

Only hits for the losers weresingles by Hartung and Stenbitas Price took the defeat.

Frosh LoseThe Caltech freshmen round­

ed out a winless campaign withan abbreviated 21·3 rout at thehands of the Oxy frosh. Infieldbobbles, plus the usual lack ofpitching, helped to shove a 3·1Beaver advantage the other way.

The Caltech Sailing Club fin·ished this year's conference sail­ing competition by grabbing athird place in a regatta held lastweek end at the Los AngelesYacht Club. The performanceturned in by the Beavers wasgood enough to give them thirdspot in the final conferencestandings. •

violin and horn at the end isparticularly beautiful.

The finale gets the most dra­matic treatment it has ever beengiven. The contrasts of thedramatic opening, the mysteri­ous pizzcato episode, the thun­dering timpani heralding thehorn solo and the solemn trom.bone chorale are all carefullymade, so that the entrance ofthe cherlae theme becomes, asit should, one of the high mo­ments of the music.

And at the end, after the wildacceleration which leads to thedriving, pUlsating presto, whenthe full brasses intone the trom­bone chorale heard in the in­troduction, Klemperer pUlls outall of the stops, and the resultis a final feeling of triumph andexultation.

the themes are presented anddeveloped in classical sonataform, and also are interrelated,constructed as they are out ofcertain basic thematic elements.The dramatic opening, with itsthundering time and its soar·ing strings, is given an extreme­ly intense treatment by Klem­perer, so that the quiet pizzacatosection, which follows, is a com­plete contrast. The main partof the movement is played justa trifle slower than in otherinterpretations, giving to thismusic qualities of majesty andpower, which were previouslyunimagined. Each subordinatepart in this complex structureis given its just hearing, whilethe over-all drive and intensitykeeps pushing it onward, untilit finally relaxes in the peacefulreminiscence of the openingmeasures at the end of the move­ment.

Angel records has recentlybeen issuing a series of super­lative recordings of the greatsymphonic works of Mozart,Beethoven and Brahms, featur­ing Otto Klemperer conductingthe Philharmonic Orchestra. Allthe previous releases have beensuperb, but this new recordingof Brahms' First Symphony isundoubtedly the finest recordingin the series, and can probablybe ranked as one of the great­est recordings of modern times.

Brahms labored for manyyears before he came forth in1876 with his First Symphony.His style, which was basicallyromantic, placed primary em·phasis on the lyric and melodicelements, with a rich and variedharmonic background. ButBrahms was also a neo-classicistand therefore organization andform were extremely importantto him. This symphony is amodel of formal construction;
