Some people, though valuingphysical activity so little that theyseldom exercise, have suffered littlefor it, even rising to positions ofgreat honor and responsibility. Fora student of this character, enforcedphysical activity is just so muchtime in prison, of no conceivablebellefit if only by virtue of hisantagonism. That, admittedly, is hisown fault - for not liking what heis expected to like. Yet the purposeof the course is enjoyment.

The question is not whether toencourage such people to changetheir attitudes-which the require­ment does not do-but whetherthey are to be allowed to graduate

Freedom of ChoiceFinally, any great benefits of

P.E. should be apparent to thestudent involved. That much trustof student judgment is extended inchoice of course of study, withinextremely broad limits, and inbehavior towards other members of'this community under the HonorSystem. Moreover, in virtually allaspects of health, safety, and socialand emotional adjustment, barringP.E., the faculty has left perfectfreedom, for good reason. It islargely such freedom which makesCaltech a community of scholarsrather than a collection of infantsand glorified baby sitters.

Why, then, did I not urge passageof the measure? The answer is>imple. Proposition 18 was, in myopinion, a poor piece of legislation;its bad features outweighed thegood. 1 wonder if Nick Smithstudied Proposition 18 in depth.The measure was not an opinionpoll for or against maSS transit,althOugh aPparently many peoplethought it was and voted YES. Itwas really a dangerous and inequit­able tax bill.

I am in favor of a sound masstransit system, and so is the AutoClub, despite Nick Smith's state­ment to the contrary. The AutoClub played no part in the defeat ofthe 1968 Rapid Transit Bondproposal that was overwhelminglyturned down by the voters. Actual­Iy, the Club has actively supportedlegislation in Sacramento providingfunds for the Southern CaliforniaRapid Transit District and for airpollution research.

Why did the Auto Club opposeProposition 18'1 The Club's direct­ors, each exercising his independent,experienced judgement, decided thatpassage of the measure would notbe in the best interests of the Clubor its membership. If Nick Smithhad taken the trouble to telephonethe Auto Club, he could havelearned that, at the directors'insistence, a post card poll was----POSTERS

IASCIT MOVIES OF THE WEEK:

Dracula has Risenfrom the Grave

Gentlemen:Nick Smith has pleaded for

comments on his article concerningProposition 18 (The CaliforniaTech, October 29), wherein healleges that opposition to thismeasure by the Auto Club ofSouthern California stems from thefact that Auto Club directors arealso directors of' corporations that"benefit from continuing expansionof Los Angeles." I am named as oneof such discredited persons becauseI am a director of Security PacificNational Bank and Southern Calif­ornia Edison Company. It is apleasure to comply with his request.

At the outset, let me suggest thatthe article might well serve as case­study material for H 40, the newcourse in Practical Politics, for itillustrates two frequently encount­ered characteristics of politicalwriting: first, the technique ofevading reasoned analysis of an issueby throwing a cloud of suspicionover one's opponent and, second,the propensity of political writiersto mention only those facts thatappear to support their Viewpoints.Unfavorable evidence may be omit­ted unintentionally, of course, be­cause of failure to obtain adequateinformation, or it may be delib­erately withheld.

With respect to my multipledirectorships, the writer doesn'tindicate just how either the bank orthe Edison Company would benefitby a NO vote on Proposition 18. Itseems to me that both might gain asmuch, if not more, from a YESthan a NO vote. No doubt I'mpolitically naive.

But why stop at these twodirectorships? There are more. Sure­ly the writer must know rhat myprincipal business affiliation is witha company that derives a substantialpart of its income from the sale ofair pollution instrumentation. I am

by millikan trollThe dust of Early Decision has

started to settle in the AdmissionsOffice. With that almost out of theway, Dr. Miller reports that appli­cations to Tech have been keepingpace with last year. However, thisyear's crop of applicants willprobably put increased demands onscholarship funds.

Dr. Miller explained that theInstitute could get caught betweenthe pressures of increased demandson scholarship funds, and decreasedcontributions to them. The problemwill probably not be critical nextyear, he indicated, but could getquite serious the year after ifpresent trends continue.

Sophs Down; Juniors UpOn the average, Miller continued,

sophomores usually have theirscholarships lowered compared towhen they were freshmen (some dogo up, however). This results fromthe expectation that sophomoreswill earn more during the summer.

Conversely, more juniors findtheir scholarships increased thandecreased. (Is it possible that juniorsare worth less?)

California residents are remindedthat today is the last possible dayto mail your California StateScholarship application. If you donot apply for a California StateScholarship and are a Californiaresident, your chances of receiving ascholarship from the Institute arereduced.

The army publishes a long list ofphysical and psychological condi­tions which will cause a draftee tobe unsuitable. A draft counselor willhave access to this list and can helpyou determine if you have one ofthose conditions. In general, a draftcounselor's help will be invaluablein preparing and presenting yourclaim to the IY deferment. Even ifyou do not now have the basis forthe deferment, you are likely towithin another year or two whenyour body has deteriorated a littlemore.

If you believe that you have oneor more conditions which shouldget you a IY, you should get aletter from every doctor who hastreated you for such conditions.Letters should be addressed to "Towhom it may concern" and shouldbe sent to you rather than directlyto the draft board. Each lettershould be carefully reviewed beforeit is sent to the draft board. Somedoctors have a knack of writingunfavorable letters. A doctor's lettershould state the condition on whichyou are claiming unsuitability andgive the basis for the diagnosis, thesymptoms which were found, testswhich' were conducted, etc. Also,the letter should discuss the effectthat the condition would have onyour ability to serve as a soldier andthe effect of military life on thecondition.

Sometimes banking can be a problem. But wehave a lot of good things that can make your banking

easier, help eliminate the problems and frustrations thatsometimes can occur. Take checking accounts. We have

four of them, so you have a choice. Tenplan®, for instance,lets you write checks for only 15¢ apiece.Another good thing is the way we handle your checking ac­

count when you leave school for summer vacation. You can havea zero balance and you won't have a penny's maintenance charge.

And you won't have to open a new account come fall.Bank of America has more branches than any bank in California,

too - so there's one in your home town. And you'll be able to transferthe balance in your school branch to your home branch and back again,

without a murmur.Stop in and see us. We'll be glad to talk over all the ways we can help with

your banking while you're in college.

DEAR DOCTOR HIPpocrates, byDr. Eugene Schoenfeld, EvergreenBooks, $.95.

This book includes an assortmentof letters he has received andanswered in his medical columnover the past couple of years. Hiscolumn is printed largely in under­ground publications, since heanswers letters Dear Abby or Dr.Brothers wouldn't touch with a tenfoot pole. I mean, people don't talkabout sex and drugs in newspapercolumns, do they? That sort ofthing isn't nice. Anyway, if you areinterested in learning about variousmedical problems related to sex ordrugs, buy the book. If you enjoyreading odd letters and responses,buy the book. Just buy the book, ifyou can find a bookstore with thenerve to sell it this close to SanMarino.

He included a short autobiographywhich sort of explains him, exceptfor the Greyhound bus. My onlyobjection to the book is the price,much too high for a paperback.Pick up a copy somewhere and readit, but don't pay the absurd price ifyou can avoid it.

The thematic lead of the movieis the deaf-mute Michael, played byJohn Mills. Deformed since birthand the butt of cruel jokes, Michaelstruggles simply to live. He ispowerless to better himself andcannot show his emotions. AlthoughMichael is not a lead, Mills'performance is nothing less thanbrilliant.

Sarah Miles, as Rosy, is aconsummate actress. Portraying atthe same time youthful fears andthe undisciplined passion Miss Milesmakes Rosy believable withoutcausing the audience to either pityor hate her. We are presented with astatement about the continuity oflife, achieved through reproductionrather than melodrama.

Robert Mitchum is one of theweaker players. He loses the battleof empathy to the Irish accentwhich he tries to maintain through­out the movie. Trevor Howard isquite convincing as the parish priestwho must continually temper thebehavior of the townspeople whentheir superstitions and weaknessesovercome them.

Maurice Jarre's score is inapprop­riate, as it was for Lean's last film

ScrumptiousSTEAKS

by Ira MoskatelRyan's Daughter is a human film

about very human beings. DirectorDavid Lean and award-winningscreenwriter Robert Bolt have re­created the world of a youngwoman searching for a love shecannot define and maturing trau­matically in the process.

Set in Northern Ireland duringthe Irish uprisings at the turn of thecentury. The daughter of the localpublican, Rosy Ryan (Sarah Miles)is a spoiled teenager unsatisfied withwhatever she has. She falls in lovewith the widowed local school­master (Robert Mitchum) and mar­ries him. Life with the educated butprosaic pedagogue is anything butexciting.

In the tradition of recent movies,the wedding night is depictedexplicitly and the camera zooms inon the frightened girl in bed as herhusband makes love to her almostmechanically. The romance is gone.

TWO DINNERS for the PRICE OF ONE!

by Paul LevinWhile Ginastera's Don Rodrigo is

not a new opera, its performance inLos Angeles by the New York CityOpera Company was something newfor L.A. opera-goers. While this isonly one of the nine operas to beperfomed during the current three­week engagement, it is certainly oneof the more unique pieces to begiven.

Although it is a contemporarywork,Don Rodrigo uses a classicallibr~tto set in the eighth century. Infact, the whole opera so closelyresembles those of the last centurythat it is often possible to forgetthat one is listening to a modernwork. However, a few scenes mightsorely try the patience of a Bostoncensorship board even today.

The sets and costumes aremagnificent. While preserving themedieval flavor (of the twelfth orthirteenth century) the designersremoved much of the ornament­ation to make the result morepleasing to today's audiences. Forexample, a gothic cathedral wasreduced to nothing but a few rowsof slender columns supporting

~ statues of praying saints. Therewasn't even a cross.

Had the cast not containedextremely strong singers, the perfor­mance would have been tenuous,but everyone was able to hold hispart. Acting, too was superb. DonRodrigo is an atonal work. Insteadof relying on traditional Westernharmony its music harks back tothe music of the early Copticchurch. It's wierd.

Orchestration for the work issomewhat unusual, too. During onescene change the audience founditself surrounded by the brasssection; during the previous scenesome of them had left the orchestr~

Dear Sir,As an ice cream lover, Caltech

mathematics major, and free-lancegenius I feel obligated to point outan error in your advertising. Thisevening at Baskin-Robbins Pasadena,I notices a poster claiming thatBaskin-Robbins offers3Ix31x31=29,791 different bananasplits. I was informed by theattendant that a banana split ismade with three scoops of icecream and some topping andbananas.

The figure of 29,791 is incorrect.How many splits are possible

with three distinct flavors? (Here letV = vanilla, C = chocolate, S =strawberry). We have 31 choices forthe first flavor, 30 for the secondflavor if it is to be distinct from thefirst, and similarly 29 choices forthe third flavor, a total of31x30x29=26,970 distinct splits.However, we have assigned six timesas many splits as are distinct, since,for example, the combination VCSwould also appear as VSC, CSV,CVS, SVC, and SCV. Therefore thecorrect number of splits with 3distinct flavors is 26,970/6 = 4,495splits.

How many splits are possiblewith only two distinct flavors (eg.WC, or CCS)? We have 31possibilities for the double scoop,and 30 possibilities for the singlescoop. Therefore the number ofdistinct splits with two distinctflavors is 31x30 = 930 splits.

group of songs which completelycharacterize an era in AmericanmusIc. From the slow ballad "LastKiss" (which tugged at everyone'sheartstrings) to the exciting finaleof "Rock Around the Clock," theaudience sat spellbound. No inci­dents broke out after the perform­ance reached this frenzied pitch. Anadditional word of praise should bethrown in for the Powerglides whodid an excellent backup job for theSchmucks.

Following the SCHMUCKS theFLEMING HOUSE JUG BANDprovided a pleasant respite from thefeverish performance before. Theirsimple .slow ballads warmed thehearts of those who listened. Thelyrical imagery was truly superb.For example during their bignumber ("Big John") the image of"a giant sequoia" hit everyoneright in the face. It was musicalpoetry in it's finest form.

Then came the traditional flem­ing House Play. This year entitled"Hot Noogies, Clarabelle." Behindthe fascade of humor was a truemorality play. The message that ithad for all was that one should justbe oneself and not attempt toproject images since images cannever last. It ended as tragically asit began with poor Flakey lying inthe gutter and the evil Clarabelletormenting him until he could standit no longer and finally cried outfor an end to his torture byscreaming, "Hot Noogies, Clar­abelle," and there it ends giving theaudience much to think about andconsider while touring the rest ofInterhouse.

The mood of a country is oftenreflected in its music. We beingstudents at an urban institution aremany times not exposed andoccasionally not even aware of thefeeling of a great portion of thecountry. These three albums providean excellent view of that part of thecountry in addition to some realfine music. That portion of thecountry to which I am referring isrural America. Simple people, con­tent with there lives and with theirreligion.

US. Apple Corps is the mostnoticably religious record of thegroup. I was never, being a heathenby nature, really turned on toreligious music. I found however themusic itself ignoring the lyrics,rather good. Their rendition of"Swing Low Sweet Chariot" is themost impressive I have ever heardand reminds me very much of Slyand the Family Stone, a groupwhich I like immensely.

Ozrp provides a blend of thereligious and daily lives of thesepeople in an outstanding piece ofwork. They sound a lot like theBand but with a unique sound thatI can't quite describe. Perhaps it isthe fact that they have not yetmade it big and have not yet been

he began a dialogue depicting hiswork and his experiences_ Atevening, he spoke of his enjoymentin helping his people, in seeing theirspirit, in relating to his culture fromthe Spanish conquistadors and theAmerican Indian civilizations. Re­peatedly, he emphasized that theChicano movement was real, that heand his people were committed to astruggle for a proper share ofAmerican prosperity and civil rights.

At night, Corky stated that hewas talking on three levels: one, tocensure oppression from individualsand institutions; two, to ask thereturn of Chicano Uncle Toms;three, to express his love for thefamily of Chicanos. He deprecatedpeople who questioned the speedyentry of Chicanos into the Ameri­can mainstream by saying, "take itslow." Concentrating on the UncleToms of his people, Corky notedthat they were people without anidentity, that because they hadrejected their heritage they werewithout a future-"unless you knowwhere you're from, you don't knowwhere you're going." "Come back,"he stated, "because all good origin­ates from the family." Then, withgreat feeling, Corky applauded thelove of Chicano for Chicano amonghis people, demonstrated specificallywhen Cesar Chavez pledged supportfor Corky in his current courtroombattle by proclaiming, "It is myduty, Corky."

Throughout his speeches, CorkyGonzales gave me the impressionthat he was primarily at Caltech toreach Chicanos than the Caltechcommunity; to inspire and affirmthe faith of Chicanos than toenlighten the ignorant minds ofthose in ivory towers. Nevertheless,his potency of feeling was obvious,and thus, enlightening in anotherway. I saw a man who would beunaffected by arguments to "stoporganizing" and to "become Ameri­can and acquire American (WASP­ish) values;" r saw a strong mandetermined that his people receivetheir due.

criticisms; here is a man who'professes simple human outragewhen he observes America's treat­ment of his people; here is a mandeep with pride that he is aChicano.

This past Monday, there werethree opportunities for the Caltechcommunity to acquaint themselveswith Corky when he gave an OliveWalk Talk, a seminar in Winnett,and finally, an after dinner speechat the Athenaeum. Throughoutthese events, Corky made it clearthat he was here at Caltech not toentertain but to devulge the truth.At noon, he spoke of the scientists'obligation to reform society, toquestion traditional goals, and torealize the entrenchment of societaldouble standards.

General Electric is marketing a14-horsepower rechargeable electrictractor capable of speeds up to 7miles an hour.

We think it's a remarkableinnovation. But an electric car it's not.

As a garden tractor for homeuse, Elec-TrakTcan take advantage ofcharacteristics that would be distinctdisadvantages in an electric car.

The availability of fuel is noproblem for Elec-Trak. It's designedfor limited use near electrifiedstructures, making overnightrecharging possible.

The heavy weight of thebattery, which would slow down acar, means greater applied tractionfor flee- Trak.

Because Elec-Trak must travel,lt slow speeds to do its jobs, thereare no aerodynamic energy losses totake into consideration.

Still, one might expect Elec-Trakto be the forerunner of a pollution­free automobile. Perhaps it is. Butthere are many crucial problems leftto be solved.

The most important one, ofcourse, is the development of asubstantially better electric battery.Any car built today would be severelylimited in range and performance,and probably prohibitively expensive.

General Electric is makingprogress on new batteries, but there'sa long way yet to. go.

We've experimented with zinc­air batteries. Sodium-sulfur batteries.Silver-zinc batteries. Lithium­halogen batteries. And others. Thereare problems with all of them.Problems of IHe-span, cost,practicality.

Despite the problems, GeneralElectric scientists and engineers areworking for the breakthrough thatwill make electric cars possible.

Maybe the breakthrough iscloser than we think. But we'll

by Alex SeitaThe plangency of flamenco music

will reverberate throughout Rud­dock House tonight when PeterEvans begins his performance ofconcert guitar. On loan from DougWeston's Troubadour, Peter Evanshas received laudatory reviews fromthe Daily Variety and the Holly·wood Reporter. This virtuoso gui·tarist whose repertoire covers tra·ditional to classical pieces inflamenco music "possesses animpeccable, uncompromising style,"Daily Variety, and is "one of thefinest flamenco guitarists around,Hollywood Reporter.

A student of flamenco guitar inSpain, Peter Evans usually conveyshis experience throughout his ren­ditions of fiery, demanding pieces.He demonstrates his skill by hisin terpreta tions of Granadians,Panaderos, Scherzo Mexicano,Venezuelan Waltz No.3, Malaguena,together with captivating Castiliantunes.

Sponsored by the ASCIT Acti­vities Committee, Dr. David Smith,and the Faculty Committee onPrograms, Peter Evans was selectedto perform for the student body byhis reputation and after Qe~ng

reviewed in a program at PCCbefore 500 people. Our studentreviewers were Tom S1. John (FI) ­"really quite arousing," and RickKrueger (Pa) - "the cops and Iloved it."

Peter Evans will perform tonightfrom 8 to 9 p.m. in the RuddockHouse Dining' Room and will beopen to the Caltech Community.The use of Ruddock House for thesite is part of the ActivitiesCommittee's hope to evoke greatercampus participation in ASCITevents. Refreshments will be served.

Dr. van Lawick's work and otherresearch focusing on man's origin,animal behavior, and the conserv­ation of our environment, shouldcontact the L.S.B. Leakey Found­ation, 11 00 Glendon Ave., suite1407, Los Angeles, California90024.

your research. How are they now?""Dr. van Lawick:Things were

primitive compared to most researchstations in the field. They are stillpretty primitive, but we havethached aluminum huts. This isbecause the chimps just pull yourtent apart.

TECH:You now have researchstudents with you. Do they aidgreatly in getting information?

Dr. van Lawick:Oh, yes. We nowhave between six and ten students,and naturally we get between sixand ten times information as oneperson. There is such a wealth ofinformation to be collected.

TECH:With these added people itmust be more expensive. Is theremuch of a problem getting moneyfor the research?

Dr. van Lawick:Yes, there's quitea problem which is why I'm here.The money I get from this lecturetour, if necessary, will get two ofmy students through Cambridge. It'svery difficult to get grants forAmerican students to attend Britishuniversities. They want to go toCambridge because there is a verygood department of Ethology, thestudy of animal behavior, which isjust being born in the states forsome reason.

TE"CH:How long do you hopefor your study to continue?

Dr. van Lawick: I would like itto continue for another 30 or 40years at least. We need to find outwhat underlies the strange socialstructures of the chimp community,why some males go around togetherwhile others don't, why relation­ships develop between some malesand females, and other questions.We can only know these when weknow the exact relationship be­tween the different individuals.

TECH:One last question, whenare you-going back to Africa?

Dr. ~an Lawick:Christmas, myhusband's back there. We'll spendChristmas with the chimps.

Tech Talks To Jane~otltimJf'd from Page One

Dr. van Lawick:l would say thatthis is extremely probable. Unlessman and chimp evolved alongextremely similar parallel lines, thissuggests that before the branch-offthe common ancestor of man andchimp used the same sort ofnon-verbal communications.

TECH:Do you have any troublewith poachers who steal the chimpsfor export?

Dr. van Lawick:Not where weare, but in most places in thechimp's range they are in greatdanger. For one thing, the way theycatch the baby chimp is to shootthe mother. As you can imagine thisleads to a very high death rate. Iestimate that for every one chimpthat reaches its destination aminimum of six others have died.

TECH:Then you are in favor oflimiting the export and sale of wildanimals?" Dr. van Lawick:I'm very stronglyin favor of this. The only answer tothe problem is to set up largerbreeding colonies to supply animals.

TECH:Some people are againstzoos because they take an animalout of its natural habitat and thischanges the behavior of the animalsdrastically. What do you think ofefforts such as Africa U.S.A. thattry to recreate the anmial's habitat?

Dr. van Lawick:1 believe theseare the answer for the future. I'vejust been to the one near SanDiego. They have 2,000 acres of themost superb rugged country-ratherlike Africa. Their smallest enclavesare to be 500 acres. It's reallybeautiful, and for an animal to bekept there T can ~ee nothing wrong.

Some zuu~, ur \;ourse, areterrible; others are not so bad. Ifonly people would use a littleimagination in displaying whatshould rank as their top exhibits­their apes. It would be much betterfor everybody. I've designed allsorts of "little gadgets to give thechimps something to do, but veryfew zoos will use them.

TECH: Do the chimps becomebored in captivity?

Dr. van Lawick:They becomevery, very bored; they literallybecome neurotic. It's just likeputting a person in prison for life,but it doesn't have to be that way.I know of groups of chimps andmonkeys that can be and are keptalert and happy in captivity, ifpeople use enough imaginationabout it.

college for that matter) he isprobably big enough to cross thestreet all by himself and do othergrown-up things, and that the timemight be better spent on otherthings.

However, the truth of the matteris that the average Techer will notexercise unless forced to do so. It isclearly the responsibility of theInstitute to see that he does so.

But why stop there? How manystudents here get a full eight hoursof sleep a night (or every two nights...)? "hy not have a three unitssleep course, meeting twice a weekfor instruction, with one one-hourpractice section. Of course, itwouldn't count towards the human­ities requirements, but think of allthe good it would do!

And what about meals? Why, doyou realize some Techers actually,skip breakfast. (It's a sad fact.)Perhaps if there were another threeunits course ...

Afterall, if the Institute doesn'tspend the time and money to makecertain that each student, for hisfirst two years here at least, gets thenecessary exercise, nourishment, andrest-one might ask what else theInstitute is for.

by Bob Kieckhefer"At the end of the season we are

the best team in the league." Thesewere coach Lawlor Reck's last drywords before the jubilant waterpolo team threw him into theOccidental pool on November 21.In the hard-fought, high-foulinggame before an Occidentai home­coming crowd, the Techers playedone of their finest games this yearto build up a 5-1 lead by themiddle of the fourth quarter. Oxydesperately applied a goalie press tothe Techers, most of whom hadthree or four fouls, with the hopeof evening the score. Their planworked, as they netted two quickgoals. However, goalie Ken Hanson'sblock of a penalty shot turned thetide as Tech scored two goals onthe empty Oxy cage, pushing thescore to 7-3 at the final gun. LarryWatkins scored four goals in hisfinal game as a Techer, with BobHall scoring two and Tim Hight,one.

The previous Wednesday thewater polo team defeated formerlyunbeaten Redlands, 7-6. A Redlandspenalty shot score with a minuteremair.ing in the game tied the scoreat 6-6 and placed intense pressureon both teams. Under tight pressingfrom Redlands, Tech moved the balldown the pool. Watkins tried a lobshot which bounced off the far goalpost. Following a much-practicedplay, Steve Sheffield was there, buthis lob shot also missed. Then, withless then 30 seconds left, Larrydrilled the ball past the exhaustedgoalie. Bob Hall ended the game bystealing the ball from his Redlandsopponent, who was trying to movethe ball in for a shot.

The week before, Tech hadbeaten UCSD and Pomona, givingthe team a four-game winning streakand third place in SCIAC.

In their post-season meeting, theteam elected Steve Sheffield to benext year's captain. SCIAC op­ponents named Ken Hanson as theall-league first team goalie and Larry
