On Friday, December 3, 1976,a former Caltech security officer,Marcus Cook, was arrested andbooked on suspicion of grandtheft by the Pasadena PoliceDepartment. Some of the pro­perty stolen recently from theSteele Lab was recovered as aresult of the arrest. The thefttook place on Thanksgiving (No­vember 25) at a time when Cookwas on duty patrolling theCal tech Campus, and involvedcameras and lenses from a lab onthe first floor of the SteeleBuilding.

Due to circumstances beyondour control we are completelyout of Athletics letters. Moreletters have been ordered andshould arrive early next term. Anotice will be placed in the Techwhen they arrive. In the mean­time the ASCIT Athletics Man­ager cannot distribute them.

Dr. Jesse W. M. DuMond,internationally known for hiswork on the precise measure­ments of nature's yardsticks-­such as the speed of light-andfor his studies of the propertiesof the atom's nucleus, diedSaturday (Dec. 4) at the age of84 in a Pasadena hospital.

A professor of physics, emeri­tus, Dr. DuMond began his longassociation with Caltech when heenrolled' here as a freshman 64years ago. He retired in 1963from the Institute.

For years he received fromscientists throughout the worldthe latest calculations and valuesof the physical constants. Theyincluded the speed of light, thepull of gravity, and the quantityof charge on an electron.

From this :nformation and hisown calculations, he refined themeasurements and supplied sci­entists and engineers with themost precise values of theseconstants, upon which the math­ematical framework of scienceand engineering is built.

The physicist studied thenuclei of atoms with uniqueinstruments he conceived, de­signed, and built. The probingwas done with x-rays and gammarays. One of the instruments, amulti-crystal spectrograph, is inthe Smithsonian Institution inWashington, D.C.

In the Caltech archives is aletter written in 1932 by AlbertEinstein to George Ellery Hale,founder of Mt. Wilson andPalomar observatories, praising ayoung Caltech physicist, JesseDuMonn.

Brown's face with the legend:"Harold Brown for Secretary ofDefense." Although the posterwas in response to rumors thathad circulated about Dr. Brown'sascendency to the post, theyapparently had no idea that theposter would appear on campusthe same day as news of Dr.Brown's chances for the P.ostbroke on local news stations.

A photograph of the posterbeing hung on the wall betweenFirestone and Guggenhiem takenby Tech photographer DaveWheeler was sent to The NewYork Times after the editorsrequested a copy of it. Thephotograph may be slated forgeneral distribution by Associa­ted Press.

Dr. Brown was predicted tohold some high position in theCarter staff after it was disco­vered that he had acted asadvisor to Jimmy Carter onforiegn policy during the elec­tion. Dr. Brown is a leadingexpert in the fields of armamentand internation81 defense policy.He had also served underJohnson as Secretary of the AirForce. .

Brown visited Carter inAtlanta, Georgia, late Tuesday ofthis week during the time thatCarter was reportedly studyinghis choices for the variouscabinet positions during his up­coming term.

When questioned, Dr. Brownsaid that he was going to Atlantato visit President-elect Carter anddiscuss various issues.

Those are the facts that areknown to date about the periodimmediatly before his death.Bob's landlady had been tutnrinp­a student from USC, and sheclaimed that he had stoppedgoing to his tutoring classes atabout the same time that Bobdisappeared. The Pasadena policehave since determined_ that thisstudent was completely unin­volved with .any of the aspects ofBob's death and no longerconsider him a part of the case.

Although no direct evidenceof the reasons for Bob's deathhave been found, I believe thatthe evidence points away fromsuicide. The absense of a note,the trip across the country andthe recollections of the peoplewho saw Bob before his deathprovide no psychological-and Iuse that word loosely-evidence tosupport a theory of suicide.Given the choice between ver­dicts of Homocide, Suicide,Accidental Death and Unde­termined a lay iury decided thatthe cause of death was undeter­mined.

A private autopsy conductedby a friend of Bob's father, hisfather is a doctor, concludedthat the injuries Bob recievedwere greater than could becaused from a fall from thebridge he was under, and poin tedto Bob being hit by a vehiclebefore he fell.

Although this is really not theplace for sneculations ahout hisdeath, I would like to use thisspace to put forth my ownexplanation of his death. Thegreatest prnblem for any explana­tinn is the enigma behind his

Tragedy has struck the Cal­tech campus, and it is a tragedymade more painful by the senseof mystery surrounding its ar­rival.

Robert Harrison is dead.Robert was a senior in

Astronomy and a Rudd. For thepeople of my, the junior class, heis probably best remembered forthe speech he gave on under­graduate research possibilitiesduring freshman camp.

Apparently shy and uncom­municative, Bob was actuallyknown as a very personable guy,talkative and with a lively senseof wit. Yet he was so intenslywrapped up in his work that fewpeople knew him and hardlyanybody knew him well.

Bob was extremely good athis work. He was compared toDr. Leighton, a person whocould understand the physics andalso work with his hands. Fromall accounts he was the mostpromising Astronomy student oncampus The events surroundingBob's death have been investi­gated by the Chicago police, thePasadena police, the deans andthe California Tech and can besketched in their chronologicalorder like this:

Monday Nov. 1st. Bob boughta tank full of gas for his car.When the car was checked later agreat deal of that gas was used.On the front seat of the car wasfound a map of the greater LosAngeles area.

Tuesday Nov. 2nd. Bob with­drew $250 dollars from his bankaccount. With that money he left$40 dollars for his landlady-helived off campus-and bought aone way train ticket to Chicago.He apparentlY notified nobodyabout his whereabouts or hisplans.

resistance are met by large gangsof "showerers". Certain upper­classmen on each floor or suitetake special care to see that nofreshman is missed, and will stayup all night or even wait weeksfor the opportunity to showeranyone who "gets by".

Ignoring the question ofphysical danger-it is not unusualfor people to be hurt in hazingsof this sort-it is the question ofthe psychological attack inherentin freshman showering thatshould be discussed.

One of the worst aspects ofthis ritual is the choice of timing.It occurs the night before thefirst freshman physics test, on anight when many freshmen areinsecure or worried about theirfutures. The night before what is(for many) the first real hurdlein their college careers, they mayspend hours being chased downhallways, staying locked in theirrooms, hiding in out-of-the-wayplaces, being thrown into coldwater or changing their wetclothes. At a time when fresh­men want to be respected as realmembers of the college com­munity they are forced toparticipate in a childish game inwhich they must try to escapethe gangs of pursuing upperclass­men. The interruption of theirstudy, the stripping of personaldignity in the attack, and theresulting sense of helplessness, alladd up to a concerted attack onthe freshman's sense of self­esteem.

There are two questions worthasking about this tradition: whyit is continued, and why thecomplaints about it aren't moresevere. One of the primaryreasons why it is continued isthat most people on both sides

one of its annual traditions, thatof "freshman shower night." Thiscurrent' MIT version of thelong-standing college tradition ofhazing freshmen involves thetorced showering in cold waterof each member of the incomingfreshman class. Individual fresh­men are cornered by smallgroups of upperclassmen andcarried into the showers. Indivi­duals or groups who offer real

Although it isseveral years old, the machineworks quite well, or did untilsomebody walked off with thebobbin holder. I have no ideawhy they took the bobbinholder, as it is completely uselesswithout a sewing machine to gowith it. However, the sewingmachine is also worthless withouta bobbin holder to go with it.Will the person who took thebobbin holder please return it sothat Techers can once again usethe sewing machine.

For the first time in over twoyears, Techers this term will haveaccess to health facili ties oncampus during all of the firstweek of finals, including thisSaturday and Sunday.

In response to indicationsfrom several sources that there isinterest in having the healthcen ter open on weekends, Dr.Lyman Bonner decided to usesome previously unallocatedfunds to open the health centerthis weekend on an experimentalbasis.

Use of the health center thisweekend could play a criticalrole in the move to have thehealth center: if there is a greatdeal of use, then there will bejustification for further investi­gation of the possibility ofkeeping it open; if there is verylittle use, then it is quite possiblethat a decision could be madethat the effort required to pursuethe possibility further is toogreat, and the idea shelved.

Apyone who is sick thisweekend should, therefore, go tothe health center, especially ifthe disease is contagious.

Bitchingexpose next year's freshman classto a trial like this? Moreimportantly, what kind of asocial system is it that putspressure on individuals to sur­render their personal integrity inorder to gain peer acceptance?Should this system be permittedto perpetuate itself, year afteryear?

If the participants in theseand othe r hazings would weighthe psychological costs and thechances of personal injury againstthe spurious "fun" of chasingfreshmen around the dormitory,perhaps they would realize that acollege campus is no place(indeed there is no place) forsuch "games".

MITwho attempts to defend hispersonal integrity is quite likelyto find himself a social outcast.Individuals who value socialinteraction must either accept anaffront to their sense of personaldignity or be faced with the lossof most social contacts. For newFreshmen, who have few friends,acceptance as an individual isoften a profoundly felt need(particularly after most high­school careers), and this is justthe sort of pressure to whichthey are most likely to respond.

This is another, more impor­tant reason why this tradition iscon tinued: for it would not havelasted so long, nor have affectedso many people who didn't wantto "play," had it been a simple"game" for fun. Many individualswho give up and "go along" asfreshmen, undercut their sense ofself-esteem in the process, andthen find it necessary to makesure everyone else "gives in" inthe same way a year later. Theseare the people that "keeprecords" to make sure that noone is missed, and will stay upuntil after two in the morning toshower the freshmen who workat night. It is no coincidence thatgenerally the sophomores (thoseclosest to their own showering)are the most active in thefreshmen hazings. It is thesepeople that make freshman show­er night a serioUS, even vicious,occasion, rather than a purely"fun" event.

Upperclassmen who partici­pated in last night's showeringshould ask themselves if theyreally spent last night just for"fun," or if they had a deeperinterest in seeing the freshmenoverpowered and soaked.

Since part of thegame is to "resist," the peopledoing the showering have dif­Ilculty detecting real resistance(not that they actively try to doso).

7he following is a report by theBureau of Intelligence and Re­search based on energy data from"World Energy Supplies,1950-74," United Nations, NewYork, 1976.

The postwar period has seenrapid growth in the use ofenergy It has also witnessedmajor shifts in the pattern ofenergy consumption by regionsand by fuel source. In particular,the changing patterns of oilconsumption and production il­lustra te the increasing depen­dence of some areas on petrole­um imports.

During the period 1950through 1974, energy consump­tion for the world as a whole~rew at an average annual rate of

·2 percent. Not surprisingly,already developed areas showedsmaller relative annual increases:

- North America, 3.7 percent;-West Europe, 4.5 percent;-Far East, 8.1 percent;--Communist countries, in-

cluding People's Republic ofChina, 7 percent;

--Rest of the world, 7 per­cent.

These differential growth rateshave resulted in a change in the"shares" of world consumption

for the various areas. The sharesfor North America and WestEurope have declined, whilethose for the Far East, theCommunist countries, and therest of the world have increased.

During the period, worldpopulation grew at an averageannual rate of 1.9 percent; thusper capita energy consumptionfor the world as a whole grew ata rate of 3.2 percent per year.By way of comparison grossproduct for the world in con­stant dollars has been estimatedto have grown at an annualaverage rate of 4.9 percent, or ona per capita basis by 3 percent.

World energy consumption"shares" by source of fuel havealso changed substantially. Forthe world as a whole, the shareof coal has steadily declinedwhile that of oil and that ofnatural gas have increased. Hydroand nuclear electricity togetherhave a very small but graduallyincreasing share.

The only major area to enterthe period with oil holding alarge share of the energy marketwas North America; since thennatural gas has gained at theexpense of coal while oil hasroughly held its own.

West Europe shows the mostdramatic shifts. Coal was pre­dominant at the start of theperiod, but oil rapidly crowded itout and, in the late 1960's,natural gas began a rapid growthin its share.

In the Communist countries,coal has maintained a larger shareof total energy consumption thanin other major areas.

Oil consumption has increaseddramatically its share of theexpanding energy market. Forthe world as a whole, it grew by7.2 percent a year during the1950-74 period. By area thegrowth was:

-North America, 4 percent;-Latin America, 6.7 percent;--West Europe, 11.2 percent;-Africa, 6.6 percent;-Middle East, 11 percent;-Far East and Oceania, 13.5

percent;--Communist countries, 10.9

percent.These growth rates, hig.~er

than those 1'01 total energyconsumption, especially in WestEurope, reflect the shift fromcoal to oil. This shift was causedby the lower relative price of oiland to some extent by antipol­lution controls.

Pa~e Five

The geographic distribution ofoil production has developedquite differently from that of oilconsumption. The most notewor­thy differences have occurred inWest Europe and the Far East,with high consumption but lowproduction, and in Africa andthe Middle East, with lowconsumption but high produc­tion.

These differences caused oiltrade to grow rapidly, and setthe stage for the "oil crisis." Asthe Western countries becameincreasingly dependen t on a fewproducing countries for a majorportion of their energy supplies,these producing countries wereable to band together into theOPEC (Organization of Pe­troleum Exporting Countries)cartel to extract monopoly rents(profits) for their oil. And as theMiddle East's share of productionbecame predominant, the Araboil producers believed they wereable to wield the "oil weapon"successfully, at least in the sensethat it caused Japan and much ofWest Europe to alter their MiddleEast policies.

Looking to the future, carefulexamination of this record leads

Turn Off The Lip.hls. ..Continued from Page Fiveto certain conclusions:

First, existing plans suggestthat nuclear energy should growrapidly. However, it starts from avery small base and cannotprovice a major share of theworld's energy for many years.Other nonrossil energy sourcesare in this same category.

Second, the growing demandfor energy means that newsupplies or alternative forms ofenergy must be found at anincreasing rate if economic stag·nation is to be avoided. Whileworld coal production increasedby a total of 66.7 percent (anannual rate of 2.1 percent)during the 1950-74 period, coal'sshare of total energy consumption fell from 61. 5 percentto 31.8 percent.

Third, oil will continue to beof major importance for quite along time and the Middle East'ssignificance as the principalsource of its supply is likely toincrease in the mid-range future.

Finally in the long run, allfossil fuel will be exhal!sted, butpresent resources are sufficient tocarry us over until nonfossilsources can be rleveloped.

PEPPER

by RockGreg Blaisdell drilled in a

16-foot jump shot as the finalbuzzer sounded to give theCaltech varsity its first win thisyear over a talented and stub­born alumni team, 56--55. Thethrilling conclusion was a fittingending to what had been easilythe best performance this yearby the Tech cagers. The alumniput up an excellent fight andshowed a lot of poise and talent.While they were playing only fortheir own personal pride, thealumni played every momentquite seriously and mana.ged togive the varsity much more of agame than they might have askedfor.

John Pender scored 12 firsthalf points to stake the varsity toa 32--26 half-time lead. Techextended the lead to 44-34 andseemed in complete controlbefore lightning struck. TheAlums scored 12 straight pointswhile holding Tech scoreless for5 minutes. The spurt was cappedby a steal by David Blackmorewho then drove fuJI court for alay-up that put the ex-Beaversahead 46 44. The alumni nevertrailed again in the game untilthe last split second.

Tech's chances were dimmedwhen its leading scorer, JohnPender. fouled out with almost12 minutes left after tallying I')points. Clutch defense kept theBeavers close, however, and twolate baskets by Bart Croes keptthem alive. TrJiling by a pointwith only 35 seconds left, BoLee was forced to take a foul ina desperate attempt to get theball back. Unfortunately, thefoul was Bo's fifth and so Tech'ssecond leading scorer (with 10points) was also forced to exitthe con test.

Fortunately, the stra tegy paidoff as the free throw was missed.Tech immediately called timeout. Then, showing great faithand ignoring the percentages,
