Hinricks Award to Honor Outstanding Graduating Senior

To be awarded to the senior who, in the judgment of the un­dergraduate deans, has made the greatest contribution to the welfa re of the student body, the Frederick W. Hinrichs award has been added to the list of honors given at commencement.

The award, established in memory of Frederick W. Hin­richs who served for more than twenty years as Dean and Pro­fessor at the Tnstitute, will be awarded for the first. time this year. It will be presented at commencement without prior notifi.cation, and will consist of $100 in cash, a certificate, and a suitable memento.

At the discretion of the deans, more than one award or none may be made in any year. The award is given to the senior "who, throughout his undergrad. uate years at the Institute has made the greatest contribution to the welfare of the student body and whose qualities of character, leadership, and res· ponsibility have been outstand· ing."

STUDENTS DEVELOP "FOURTH HOUR PLAN" Tn the columns below Tom Stix presents a program recently evolved by a g roup of students,

which they feel would s pur student participation in non-academic activities at the Institute. "The Fourth Hour Plan" is an admitted nt tempt to force s ucll partiCipation on present non­

participants by making it compulsory. Men and organ izations already active would be effected only in that a more convenient time for s uch extra activ ities would be provided.

Many drawbacks to the plan can be presented. It is the feeling of the men sponsoring it, how­ever, that these can be overcome. The major objection which will be no doubt raised concerns the element of compulsion.

Active Planning is a Hea1thy S ign "Rega rdless of whether the plan as outlined here, is accepted or not, I cannot help but feel that

it is a s tep in the right direction. It shows that a la l'ge gl'oup of studen ts are ac tively thinking about the problems of the Institute and its students, s triving for continual improvement. If nothing el se, I hope the presentation of the plan through the Tech will encourage discussion a long these lines and that this consideration will result in a solution to one of the most preSSing pl'Oblems of the schooL

In pursuing its already achieved goal of nati ona l academic leadership, it is only natural that Caltech should also assume vigorous leadership in the equally vital fie ld of personal development.

The Caltech Attitude Should !\'Ih'l'oJ' t he Caltech Goal This is the substance of my valedictory wish to the Institute: A continued and ever-expand­

ing preeminence based on open-mindedness an d a tradition of willingness to adjust to changing needs. In short, the application of the scientific method, and, more important, the scientific atti­tude to every phase of Institute development. Th e Cal tech goal cannot be more adequately stated than it has been in the lives of the three men most responsible for its existence: Millikan, Hale and Noyes.- I.I. F. H,

What follows below is a plan for Ins titute-sponsored extra­curricular activities. T h r e e e leven o'clock hours a week are to be set aside f-or this program. These activities are to be as numerous and varied as' possi­ble, including everything from sculpture to fty-ca sting. Partici­pation will be required of all undergraduate students, but hours and activities will remain flexible so as t.o allow for the maximum amount of . student initiative and freedom.

Background: Caltech has a reputation for being a factory fot~t.ecllnological students - a workshop where bright shiny scientists and engineers are turn­ed out like so many Chevrolets. The fact that Caltech has teams in every inter-collegiate sport, that orga nized social func t ions are held every Friday and Satur­day night, that we have on carl).' pus a paper, a yearbook, a glee club, an orchestra, drama club and band, that we have a deba.te team of high national sta nding­these are invariably overlooked or omitted when the school is discussed among outsiders_

\Vho is guilty of spreading the half-truths and exaggerations among the populace? The stu­dents are. In our conversations abroad, we don't emphasize that libera l arts courses comprise a quarter of our program, but we say we worked until two a.m. on a lab report. And that was

an easy one. would be for the g reat better-EV.idently there's a lot of ment of the school.

On student initiative happy engineer, with a varie ty alone do we have a paper, a yearbook, a drama club, a glee club. These act ivities are a hea lthy stabilizing influence. If they can be expanded to include all of the student body, and es· pecially the off-campus men, it

Honor Violation Suspends Two

A trial was h cld rooently by the Board of Control ill which two men were involved.

In the lWOCCSS of extended questioning by the Board, both men confessed to having violat.l-"d the Honor System.

The Plan: The ach ievement of these goals is simple. Let there remain free fro m academic courses three hours a week. Eleven to twelve is obviously the best h our . These sha ll be fi lled with what we sha ll call Fourth Hour Activities. (Being the fourth school hour of the day.) No units will be given, but attendance must be enforced as it is fOr P. E. Students will reg­ister for these Fourth Hour Activities at the beginning of each term.

No Frosh Award Sa~ Tau Betes

Last year the Tau Beta Pi or­ganization ina u g u rat e d an award to the Outsta.nding Fresh­man of the year_ This custom was initiated to give a s ui table honor to very exceptional men_

Award Basis

The Ca lteeh chapter of Tau Beta Pi chooses the man to re­ceive th is award on the basis of o u tstanding scholarship coupled with character and participa tion in campus activities.

No \Vinner

This year the Tau Betes ha.ve decided not to announce a win­ner; not because there are no outstanding scholars 01' no sing­ularly active frosh, but because these two t raits could not be found in anyone man_ Those fl'osh who have been most active have apparently been so to the detriment of their grade point average, while the frosh who a re ou tstanding in scholarship have been doing only a very small amount of extra-curricular ac­tivity.

RC80111tion The decision not to give an

award this year w as made at a meeting last Monday night. The resolution passed at this time said in effect: "In order to keep th is award one which actually lives up to its name, we will give no award unless there ac­tua lly is some student combin­ing all three tra its-scholarship, character, and act i v i t Y on campus.

Tests, Guidance Offered h~ V.A.

Are you disconented? Do you feel misplaced? Do you feel that perhaps Tech isn't the place for you? Then take the Veterans Administration Guidance Tests and find out your capabilities and aptitudes.

Free To Vets

These tests are given free of charge by the veterans adminis­tration in an effor t to help the veteran decide what he is best fitted for., Non veterans may take the tests and receive coun­selling at a cost of $25.

Tests

There is an interview follow­ed by four types of tests which take from three to six hours, First the interest tests; then the aptitude tests indicating the var­ious fields in which you have ability (these may prove sur­prising); t he performance tests which will give the counselor an idea of how much you know and can do; and finally the person­a li ty tests which you may choose to take.

ready availed themselves of this cou nseling and found it very helpful and inte res ting. There is no red tape; an appointment will be m ade promptly.

paper, the yearbook, the glee­club, the orchestra, band, debat­ing, radio and chemistry clubs, the drama club---all of which we have now-in addition to these we call offer an art-roam-water­colors, oils, ink sketching, sculp­ture and modeling, casting in plaster of parts and bronze; a woodwork shop. a machine shop, a welding shop; sports such as archery, fly-casting; spe­cial courses such as music appre. ciation, industria.! design; a model airplane club, a photogra­phy club which might even pro­duce movies. Above aU the fields must remain flexible. Let the criterion be only that the work is productive, creative, or enjoy­able. Let activities be approved by a joint student-faculty board to meet the demand.

If fifty men think the Insti­tute needs a lawn in front of Throop, Or an amphitheater be­hind astrophysics, let them sign on to put their time into build­ing these. The hours do not have to be kept rigidly for the individual. If he would rather work three hours in the shop on a free afternoon, let him do it. Providing only that three hours a week are put in.

As things are now, there will be many who wi ll devote far more than the minimum time to this work. But a minimum must be set and hours put aside, to show that the Institute policy is to encourage these things, that the school believes they are of Significant value in an education, and merit a cerlain portion of time in everyone's life. There are many who would enter into such activities as we now have except that a) they have not yet learned to organize their time b) they feel schoolwork is more im­portant c) they live off-campus and can't come back in the eve­ning when most activities meet. The Fourth Hour Plan solves these problems virtua.lly by defi­nition.

In introducing this program the unit load will not have to be lessened. Schedules will need. some rea1"l'allb~ment, _but we now have two eleven o'clock periods open for assemblies. One of these could be taken for Fourth Hour activities with an automatic excuse on any day an

a.ssembly is scheduled. As to cutting into study time

-there is no man on campus that couldn't remove one hour from the middle of his day to do something he enjoyed, and still get his assignment done. These activities are just the things everyone "wants to do, but can't find the time." The Fourth Hour Plan offers the time, the place, the facilities.

The actual cost of the plan would be small. Most of the ac­tivities proposed need only a room to work in. The ·most am­bitious is the machine-shop, but this is an item that Tech has always needed, and should have had years ago.

One final point. This plan in no way does away with stu­dent initiative. If students de­sire to work on their own­fine, excellent. But in certain cases, ( such as art work or machine shop, trained per­sonnel are necessary for guid­~nce and instruction where the need arises, bring in quali­fied men or women from the outside - men of high profes· siona.l calibre who can mold thirty voices into a harmonious singing group, who can paint and sculp themselves, or who know where to place the pipes for a lawn sprinkler system.

SUlllmary: Here is presented a plan for Cal tech students to develop wider interests, latent abilities, hobbies, a chance to learn to work with their hands. It is an opportunity to make Calte<!h unique among techno­logical schools - it will be a feature attraction to bring new and better men to the school, and to turn out more complete graduates.
