In 1927 Dr. Pauling joined theCaltech faculty as assistant pro·fessor of chemistry, becomingfull professor in 1931. He hasbeen chairman of the Division ofChemistry and Chemical Engineering and director of the Gatesand Crellin Laboratories since1937. He is in charge of thecourse in chemistry required ofall freshmen at Caltech and hastaught both graduate and undergraduate courses in many phasesof chemistry.
Many papersDr. Pauling is the author of
close to 300 scientific papers inthe fields of chemistry and physics and of a number of textbooks, including "The Nature ofthe Chemical Bond." This work,which outlines his resonancetheory of chemical bonds, hashad an enormous influence onthe development of chemistry.His experimental research includes the determination, by

English film to befeatured Sunday
"The Winslow Boy" starringSir Cedric Hardwicke, BasilRadford and Robert Donat willbe shown Sunday, November 7,as the third in the Caltech YFilm Series.
Directed by Anthony Asquith,it is based on an actual casewhich became a cause ceiebreof the English pUblic. The filmtraces the story of a boy unjustly expelled from schOOl for apetty theft.
Along with "The WinslowBoy" will be shown two shorts:"The Gentleman in Room Six"and "Motor Mania."
Single admissions may hebo"l'lght for this show and cost50c. It will take place at 7:30 p.m.in Culbertson auditorium.
Barbecue and parade to Oxyreplace annual Paiamarino
An institution' is dead. 'With the advent of the new gymcomes the demise of a Caltech tradition: the Pajamarino and itsnight raids on box stockpiles, the bonfire, and the pajama parade.
Several pressure groups-the Pasadena Police and Fire Departments and the National Retailers Association-were instrumental in bringing about the death of this event. The grocersfrowned upon using their money to build our bonfire, and theCity of Pasadena wouldn't issue a fire permit to hold the bonfire.

A bonfirenon box variety-will burn during. the meal. The dinner willbe free to those with StudentHouse meal tickets and will beavailable, at a "nominal fee." fordates and off campus Techmen.
After eating, the CIT studentbody and dates will parade to"Oxy" in mass, escorted by thePasadena City Police.
A combo will provide musicfrom 10:30 to 1:00 for the aftergame dance that will be held inDabney Hall. This dance, spon,sored by ABeIT in conjunctionwith the Caltech Alumni Association, will end the evening'sscheduled activities.

Modern aeronautics has undergone tremendous technologicalchanges in the last decade. Thefeasibility of aircraft flying athypersonic speeds has beenmade possible by a relativelyentirely new set of concepts,many of which have been devel·oped by GALCIT men. Highspeed skin friction, and highspeed effects of turbUlence, viscosity, shock-wave boundary-layer interaction, and stability, toname only a few, have all been&tudied to support hypothesisand test theories.

Five bands will provide the musicfor Tech/s biggest social event of the year. All of the housesare frantically rushing to complete their decorations on time.
Blacker's courtyard is well onits way to becoming the "Landof Oz." The weird frameworkon the Hell alley stairs will sooncarry a roaring \vaterfalI pouring into a stream which willwind through the courtyard andempty into a central pool. Thelounge is in the process of becoming the Palace of Oz, complete with fireball. The wizard'sballoon has been up for testfiights and is rc~a:ly for the bignight.
The Ricketts rocket ship is becoming an impres"ive sight, towering over the roofs of the houses and ready to blast off alongside Millikan's pot. A secondrocket ship is being constructedon the west side of the court·yard and will be open for inspection by Techmen and theirdates. From this ship, visitorswill pass through an air lockinto the lounge, whiCh will bedecorated as an alien planet.

takes mo~'e words than is neet'Ssary to tell more than he knows.
-The President of thernited States (Sept. 1954)
Despite these words of wisdomfrom J\I1'. Eisenhower, his rivalin the last election lives on. Hislatest book, Call to Greatness,I found to be one of the best Ihave read on current politicaltopics. My use of the word politics is perhaps misleading. Mr.Stevenson does not deal withdomestic politics, but rather attempts to analyze the role thatthe U.S. must play in the affairs of the modern world. Thebook is published by Harpersfrom the manuscript of the Godkin lectures that Mr. Stevenson gave at Harvard under thetitle "A Troubled World."
The Reporter and ScienceTwo articles by Theodore H.
White in the Sept. 14th and Sept.23rd issues of the news maga·zine "The Reporter" carry special interest to Techmen. Alarge part of the article (entitled"U.S. Science, Its TroubledQuest") is devoted to GALCITand other Caltech governmentprojects. Also mentioned is thatbig campus mystery "ProjectVista." As most of you know,almost all of the faculty wereat one time or another tied upwith a project known to everyone as ·'Vista." That was all theinformation that anyone notworking on the project ever got.Now the "Reporter" has revealed the function of '·Vista."In the current edition of themagazine, president DuBridgecongratulates the author and thepublisher on the excellence ofthe articles.
Lonely?Anchor editions has come out
with an abridged version of David Riesman's HLonely Crowd."This book is a survey of theAmerican social structure. It
looks at the methods of masscommunication, etc., in the lightof the aims of society. All foronly 95 cents.
The London Times has comeout with a special number ofThe Times Literary Supplemententitled "American Writing Today." It is 100 pages long andcosts $.50-quite an edition. 46essays and 14 new poems arepersented. Incidentally, the onlyplace I have seen it for sale isin the little newstand on thecorner of Lake and Colorado.
VituperationCritical writing now just isn't
what it was in the good old days.For instance-some of these ex·amples from the Victorian critics:
Samuel Butler on Rosetti-"Idislike his face, and his manner,and his work, and I hate hispoetry and his friends."
Swinburne on Emerson-HImerely informed him in Ian·guage of the strictest reserve,that he was a hoary-headed andtoothless baboon, who, first lift·ed into notice on the shoulderof Carlyle, now spits and splutters from a filthier platform ofhis own finding and fouling."
Carlyle on Charles Lamb: "Amore pitiful, ricketty, gasping,staggering, stammering TomfoolI do not know ... Poor England,when such a despicable abortionis named genius!"

letters t(J Edi'(J'sDear Editors,
From time to time in the pastyear I have had occasion to goout with some of the students atY0tir noble institution, particularly engineers. After a longand careful study of their habitsand thoughts, I have tqis to say:
With clouded wits the engineersits
And pushes pens and pencils.While day by day, years slide
awayAmong his ink and stencils.He works and works, and never
shirks(He couldn't do without it).And if he stops, asleep he dropsAnd then he dreams about it.
FrustFated
With head that sinks and framethat shrinks
He does his toilsome dutiesWithout a glance from gay
romanceAnd blind to all her beauties.And when at last his life is pastThere comes no chance to show
it,For engineers are dead for yearsBefore they ever know it.
Yours sincerely,
.A.T. Co.

Caltech's varsity cross countryteam whomped Redlands 25-30last Friday. The meet was runon Redland's 214 mile course, asTech has no suitable place for ahome meet. All Tech conferencemeets will be away this year, as.there seems little hope of thealumni giving us a cross country course.
The race was unusual in thatRedlands took the first twoplaces, but lost the meet. Beaver coach Julian Cole started topanic when he saw those firsttwo Redlands men appear out ofthe woods, but quickly changedhis mind when he saw that thenext five runners were Techmen. Dave C.rowther placed aclose third behind Redlands"Kough and Chaffee, then thewhole Beaver team bunchedwithin less than a minute as DonLewis, Fred Witteborn, BobTambling, and Van Walkley followed Crowther across the finishline. The race was run at avery fast pace, as evidenced bythe 10:59 winning time, and theteam really had to ,vork for thevictory.
The Beaverbabes were beatenby Redlands 17-38 when the Bullpups put four men in front ofthe first Tech finisher, MikeRusch. Closely following Ruschfor the Frosh were Reid Saunders, Tom 1100re, and SteveEmanuel, plus heroes Sugabaraand Zeilenga. 'Winning time forthe 1% mile course was 8:12.
The varsity is enjoying theirunbeaten record \vhile they can,for tomorrow they trek to mighty Oxy. 'Nuff said.

Tech trouncedby 'Hens, 60-6Schmid scores for Engineers,Oxy next on schedule for football.rs
In the greatest massacre since D.C.L.A. waxed Stanford 72-0,the Caltech football team dropped a 60-6 contest to league-leaqingPomona-Claremont last Saturday afternoon at Claremont. To betruthful Tech was never in the game after the first scrimmage playwhen Pomona tailback Bill Schmidt raced 68 yards for the firsttouchdown. The Hens made the score 13-0 soon thereafter whenthey recovered a Tech fumble on the Tech fifteen yard line andcrossed the goal after six plays. It wasn't long before Pomona hadstill another touchdown when they intercepted a Conley pass andran it back to the Beaver 32. In two plays, presto, 20-0.
Only TD on passThe Tech team started its lone scoring march late in the first
quarter. The culmination of the 18-play drive came early in thesecond period when Conley threw an eleven yard pass to endDick Schmid for the TD. The rest of the second period was spentinside Tech's 35, but Pomona was unable to penetrate the goal.
In the second half it was all Pomona as Tech never had theball inside the fifty yard line. The Beavers fumbled several timesto give Pomona the ball in strategic positions and twice the Sagehens scored on fifty yard runs. There seemed to be no spirit or enthusiasm at all on the Tech team as the players acted as if theywanted to go home as soon as possible.
