Talks TonightMr. Ralph L. Helstein, Presi
dent of the United Packinghouse, Food and Allied Workers,AFL-CIO, will give his majoraddress, "Automation - TheCrisis," at 8:00 .p.m. in DabneyLounge tonight (Thursday, December 5).
Mr. Helstein is a recognizednational authority on the subjectof automation and its impact onthe labor force and the nationaleconomy. He is regularly called.upon to speak at leading academic institutions, at governmental and trade union con·ferences, and on national television documentaries. The UPWA has been a pioneer union intrying to meet the challenge ofautomation, with innovationssuch as Technological Adjustment Pay.

on relief, this being the thirdgeneration to be burdened bythe relief problem, a system degrading both to the individualand to the community.
The labor movement in America today, Helstein continued,cannot be truly called a movement. For in the last few decadesthe Labor union has become institutionalized and has becomeas devotee of the status quo. Inthis step, Labor has deserted itstraditional role.UPWA A Leader
He spoke with pride, however,of the fact that the United Packinghouse Workers have fromtheir very beginning been intimately dedicated to the elimination of discrimination. In allcontracts written by the UPWAthere is a clause which expressly forbids discrimination. Andwhile other unions have haddifficulty in the South, he pointedto the UPWA's success in thatregion.
For this stand, the UPWA hassuffered losses in membership,social acceptance, and has beenbranded by many names, including Communist. But, he said,this policy has developed withinhis union an articulate Negrovoice.Challenge In The South

DuBridge noted the successof the 1958 development program which raised 19.5 milliondollars to construct 18 buildings.He said however, "The plans of1958, carefully as they weredrawn, are inadequate for 1964and future years." Therefore anew program is being begun.The first unit of this programis now complete, the Willis H.Booth Computing Center..

"Discrimination is both divisive and dangerous to the Labormovement and is irreconcilablewith the basic tenets of unionism," said Ralph L. Helstein inhis speech yesterday in DabneyLounge. Mr. Helstein is theYMCA's first guest this year inits Leaders of America series andwas very well received in hisinitial address.,
Before a disappointingly smallcrOWd, Helstein spoke on therole of "Labor in the Race Struggle." He began by stating thathe felt that Labor has not concerned itself SUfficiently withrace problems.A submerged Nation
The race problem in Americatoday, he said, may be likenedto "an underdeveloped nationwithin a nation," one anxiousto throw off its colonial yoke andassert its independence. At thevery same time, he continued,another revolutionary movement, that of automation, iseliminating vast numbers of jobswithout creating, as it promised,new positions to replace the old.Civil rights desires "cannot befulfilled unless jobs are available."Jobs Are Needed

John Rousselot, District Governor of the John Birch Society,spoke to a packed crowd at Dabney Lounge, November 27, onthe aims and principles of theSociety. Opening the meetingwith a dramatic silent momentof prayer for the late PresidentKennedy, Rousselot read a statement by Robert Welch, NationalDirector of the Society, deploring the event and linking it tothe Communist menace.
Rousselot was interrupted numerous times during this statement and during his speech. Thetalk outlined the ideas and principles of the society, which included: waking the Americanpeople to the Communist menace, and generally instilling theprinciples of Americanism inthis nation. He then stated thatthe immediate aims of the society had among them both theopposing of speakers who wereactually in but not identifiedwith various organizations, andthe furnishing of speakers whowere "strong Americanists."

Editorials
WelcomelThis Saturday is Student's Day and it is traditional for
the editors of the Tech to write a short editorial welcoming thevisiting high school students and reminding them that they areat a school that is in the frontiers of research in almost allscientific fields.
This is indeed true. As an incidental fact, Cal tech andMIT receive so much government R&D contract money (second to the University of California) that they have been criticized in Congress. But then Congress has often been criticiizedat Tech.
Today, the visiting high school students will see some ofwhat the government's money has been spent on.
Today, however, is not the end for all of the visiting students. A good many are probably thinking of Cal tech fortheir College education. For those students it would be bestto get more than just "a little glimpse of what a center ofeducation and research looks like./1
Despite the flashing exterior of exhibits and the emphasison research, Cal tech is still primarily an educational institution.It is hard to get a clear idea of the learning and courses herefrom the lectures presented, but they will give you some idea.
But perhaps the most important thing to learn about isstudent life. It is quite easy to get a good idea of what it islike to live at Caltech. The most important part of this islearning about the Student House, that peculiarly Caltech institution that is far more than a dormitory but not quite a fraternity. The Houses playa major part in the lives of Techmen,and are pretty interesting places to visit. Take a few minutes,then grab a Techman and have him show you around.
While you're at it you can ask him about the opportunitiesfor learning and recreation outside of science. The range ofextra-curriculars, sports, and special activities are extra-ordinarily large. It would be best to try and grab a junior or senior,and if you can't get anyone, try your guide.
Welcome, and enjoy your day.

learning to be an exciting experiment if we make no attemptto be actively involved? How dowe expect to find any value atc'altech if we approach our mainactivities passively? To mostCaltech students the academicsegment of Caltech is not exciting. But the remedy lies in student self-motivation and studentinvolvement. At Caltech theweakest link in the bond between teacher and student is theCaltech undergraduate's complacence and lack of initiativeto make his academic life atCaltech exciting.
BY VIC SffiELSONWhat is Asilomar? Asilomar
is a geographic corner of thesand and cypress area of theMonterey PeninSUla. Asilomaris also the name of a YMCAYWCA Conference (described inoutline in last week's Tech), tobe held from December 27 toJanuary 1. As a conference, Asilomar stands for diversity - toraise the questions of meaningin the midst of academic life; todiscuss the "meanings" found inmodern pluralistic society; tocause education to be a personalgrowth of minds; to create asense of world responsibility; toexplore the nature of the various complexities that make upthe "self"; and to delve into themoral responsibilities and concerns of students in presenttimes.
Asilomar offers these thingsin ~eminars, fireside chats, recreation on the beach, and inguided meditation and reflectionin tJhe response periods. Thereis this and more.
Contact the Caltech YMCA,ext. 555, for details and information on registration procedures and financial assistance.

appropriate shorthand, however.Another interesting idea, incorporated into this book, is something called a guitar TAB. Here,instead of writing music, sixlines representing the stringsof the guitar are used with appropriate symbols for strums,frets, etcetera.
This book is the first timeI've ever seen the songs of theseperformers down in print and,for the most part, it is the firsttime I've ever seen any of thesongs. I tried several of themand wasn't able to make themsound very good, even with thehints. I think that with recordings of the songs to listen to,while trying to plunk them out,one could do a pretty good job.In all the book is pretty good,with several good ideas, butsomewhat off beat in selection.Anyone in tJhe market for a booklike this would do well to lookat it, but with a critical eye.

Editors:I would like to comment on
Professor Leighton's letter of lastweek. I have no way of directlyevaluating Professor Leighton'sstatements about Fey n manPhysics since I was not involvedin the course. However, in hislast two paragraphs ProfessorLeighton has lucidly stated thesingle most important failurein the academic sector of Caltech life: "... understanding isneeded on both sides. A teacherhas a morale problem too. Heneeds interest and encouragement from his students to dohis best."
A large majority of Caltechclasses are characterized by monologue. This monologue is symtomatic of the fact that moststudents are not personally involved in the excitement oflearning. The responsibility forthis classroom monologue canbe placed largely upon the students. I can remember a· freshman English class when Professor Langston said he was tiredof talking and would not sayanother word until someone elsemade a comment about whateverwe were studying. We musthave waited five minutes insilence.
Too often the Caltech studentwaits for the course or the teacher to arouse his interest, andmakes no attempt to do thishimself. How can we expect

As an extra special, superdooper treat this week we havea genuine book review, of a folksong book, that is. The title is"Young Folk" in large whitegothic letters and "song book"in little black ones; it has anattractive, mostly yellow andorange cover, and sells for $2.95;it's published by Simon and Shuster, as can be easily ascertainedby looking at the first page; it'sblank except for the little manwho's striding along scratchinghis stomach.Hyper Ethnicism
This book's reason for beingis to bring the songs (a fewselected ones at least) of somehyper-ethnic folk singers - JoanBaez, Bob Dylan, Jack Elliot,the Greenbriar Boys, the NewLost City Ramblers, and PeggySeeger - to the struggling public.
Having seen several of these'performers I wondered just howthey would go about it, and Iwas pleased to see that somereal honest effort had gone intothe preparation. Usually songbooks like this, such as themany, many put out on the Kingston Trio, ignore the fact thatmost amateur folk song singersaccompany themselves on a guitar and show only piano accompanyment, with chords occasionally written in. However, thewriters of "Young Folk SongBook," while not going as far asI'd like to see, have tried to givea good idea of how the pros usetheir instruments.De Capo
For one thing they admit theexistence of the capo, and whena song calls for its use, the actual chords that are beingplayed, along with the way itwould be played with the capoin the designated position, areboth written. Sample directionswould be: 1) Capo on 3rd fret,2) actual chord C, 3) played asan A. All these are given in

lives? Or the urge to feel betteroff than someone? Or simpleprurience? The subject of man'sweaknesses is certainly a legitimate subject, especially whenthey're taken one at time; Deathof a Salesman is an excellentplay. What is the difference?Miller's hero is a man with veryfamiliar, very simple, humanweakness; the character has universality. Albee's play is a catalog of loathsome clinical abnormalities. In Miller's play WillyLoman's weakness is made thecause of a touching personaltragedy; in Albee's the entiretime is taken up by simply letting us know what the troublesare. Who's Afraid is as movingas a textbook. So much for theplot.

I doubt that they arethe reason for the play's success,but for them praise is due. Unfortunately Albee hasn't yetlearned how to string his monologues together into a wholelong three acts.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?Ever since I saw The Zoo Sto
ry a couple of years ago I havebeen of the opinion that EdwardAlbee is the most promisingplaywright now writing in English. Many people have thoughtthe same, and Who's Afraid ofVirginia Woolf has been eagerly acclaimed in New York, bothby the critics and at box office.Now that the road company isat the Biltmore Theater we havea chance to see for ourselveshow Mr. Albee has developed.Perhaps it is just a case of having been led to expect too much,but I came away thinking thatAlbee might be just of our ageafter all, and not for all time.The Plot
Who's Afraid is, in form atleast, an old-fashioned "straight"drama. Four screwed-up people- a middle-aged history professor, his wife (daughter of thecollege president), a young biology professor, and his mousywife - get together in a room,drink a lot, and bare their souls.They have lots of problems, andAlbee sort of brings them out,one after another, sometimeshintingly, sometimes with whatthe ad-writers might call "daringfrankness." This is the kind ofplay where you're expected tocome out arguing about whetherNick is impotent or Honey hasbirth fears or George has anOedipus complex. It might bedescribed as the same kind ofpersonality freak show thatstarted to line Tennessee Williams' pockets about the time hediscovered money.

Well, Albee hasn't been writing long, and the tricks of putting together a coherent playhe'll probably learn. So far hiswit is not profound, but he'llnever lack for entertainmentvalue. What worries me, as Isaid, is his choice of subjectmatter. If he turns his talentsto serious theater subjects andtries to think, he might conceivably approach Bernard Shaw.But at the rate he's going he'sheaded for wealthy oblivion.

The time has come to think of Christmas shopping, for theYuletide will be upon us quicker than you can say Jack Robinson. (Have you ever wondered, incidentally, about the originof this interesting phrase "Quicker than you can say JackRobinson"? Well sir, the original saying was French-"P1U8vite que de dire J cu:ques Robespierre." Jack Robinson is, as everyone knows, an Anglicization of Jacques Robespierre who was,as everyone knows, the famous figure from the French Revolution who, as everyone knows, got murdered in his bath byDanton, Murat, Caligula, and Ai Capone.
(The reason people started saying "Quicker than you cansay Jacques Robespierre"-or Jack Robinson, as he is called inEnglish-speaking countries like England, the U.S., and Cleveland-is quite an interesting little story. It seems that Robespierre's wife, Georges Sand, got word of the plot to murderher husband in his bath. All she had to do to save his life wascall his name and warn him. But, alas, quicker than she couldsay Jacques Robespierre, she received a telegram from her oldfriend Frederic Chopin who was down in Majorca setting lyrics

(Well sir, off to Majorca went Georges, but before she left,she told her little daughter Walter that some bad men werecoming to murder Daddy in his bath. She instructed Walterto shout Robespierre's name the moment the bad men arrived.But Walter, alas, had been sea-bathing that morning on theRiviera, and she had come home with a big bag of salt watertaffy, and when the bad men arrived to murder Robespierre,Walter, alas, was chewing a wad of taffy and could not get hermouth unstuck in time to shout a warning. Robespierre, alas,was murdered quicker than you could say Jacques Robespierre-or Jack Robinson, as he is called in English-speaking countries.
(There is, I am pleased to report, one small note of cheerin this grisly tale. When Georges Sand got to Majorca, she didsucceed in helping Chopin find a rhyme for "Warsaw" as everyone knows who has heard those haunting lyrics:

What? You are astonished? You had not thought of Marlborosas unusual? You had regarded them as familiar, reliable smokeswhose excellence varied not one jot nor tittle from year to year?
True. All true. But all the same, Marlboros are unusual because every time you try one, it's like the first time. The flavornever palls, the filter never gets hackneyed, the soft pack isever a new delight, and so is the Flip Top box- Each Marlborois a fresh and pristine pleasure, and if you want all your friendsto clap their hands and cry, "Yes, Virginia, there is a SantaClaus!" you will see that their stockings are filled with Marlboros on Christmas morn. © 19ij3 Max Shulman

In an enlightening lecture andquestion period Tuesday evening, General Lauris Norstaddelved into the aims of the NorthAtlantic Treaty Organization, inserting his own disarmamentproposal. General Norstad, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and current president of Owens-Corning Fiberglas Corporation, listed theseaims: 1) to live at peace with allpeoples and governments, 2) topromote stability in the NorthAtlantic Area, and 3) to unitefor the preservation of worldpeace. In Norstad's opinion theresponsibility for the commondefense must be a collective one.The success of the organizationis evidenced by the fact that noworld war has erupted since itsconception shortly after the second world war.
Norstad proposed that a solution to the arms problem musthave the following criteria.

The National Merit ScholarshiJp Corporation is a nonprofitcorporation established in 1955through grants from the FordFoundation and the CarnegieCorporation of New York. It conducts the nation's largest independently supported scholarship program.
President DuBridge has beenPresident of Caltech since 1946'before that he served at th~University of Rochester. Dr. DuBridge's appointment was namedwith several others to fill vacancies that resulted from expiredterms.
About 1,500 Merit Scholarshipsare awarded annually in a nationwide competition conductedthrough the high schools. Theawards are financed by the FordFoundation and 175 sponsoringbusiness corporations, foundations, colleges, unions, professional associations, trusts, andindividuals. Caltech students holdthe highest proportion of MeritScholarships of any school inthe United States. Approximately10% of the student body havebeen awarded these scholarships.

Rensselaer has also instituteda unique idea in the frosh physics lecture. Each student is givena switch to indicate whether theinstructor is going too fast ortoo slow, and the switch operateslights on a panel in front of theinstructor. That might not be abad idea for Tech's new 'physicscourses, providing some provision is made for the glare originating from an extra bank oflights.Dial 9 for Oxy
MIT too, is showing originality, in tampering with the phonesystem. Some students havegone so far as to actually makelong distance calls on lines belonging to a local radar installation and some other camp fires.This is truly a shocker, but MITTech readers were assured thatjustice is being done as "two orthree students are expelled eachyear for abuses of the phonesystem."
Turning from phones to bears,a logical connection, we will consider the charges b r 0 ugh tagainst Smoky the bear by TheGuardsman at the City Collegeof San Francisco.

One of the newest fields ofstudy on campus is planetaryscience. Roughly, planetary sci·ence does for other bodiesaround us what straight geologydoes for the earth, but Dr. Sharpadmits that the field is "kindof impinging on planetary astronomy." Despite the failure oftwo Ranger spacecraft (that carried seismographs from Tech)to land on the near side of themoon, the effort to effect such alanding is still under way. Aseismograph would give aboutthe biggest yield of importantinformation of any instrumentthat could be landed; moonquakes and meteoritic impactswould give cIues to the interiorof the moon by the shock wavesthey produce that are picked upby the seismograph.

Yes, Really!
The tunnel is shaped somewhat like an enormous tire inner tube that is slightly flattened at top and bottom. It occupies a space that is 46 feet high,25 feet wide and 100 feet long.

The 750-horsepower motor provides energy to generate windsup to 200 miles an hour forCaltech's venerable 10-foot windtunnel in which, nowadays, arebeing tested models of a widevariety of vehicles in additionto those of airplanes, for whichit originally was built 34 yearsago at a cost of $250,000.
The tunnel has resolved configuration problems for morethan 600 types of aircraft formore than 40 American andforeign companies, and for sixgovernmental agencies. Such keyU.S. World War II aircraft asthe P-36, P-38, P-40, and P-51pursuit planes, the B-17, B·19,B-24, B-25, and B-29 bombers andthe PBY reconnaissance amphibious planes all were aerodynamically groomed in the tunnel.Oh, Really?
The tunnel was designed inthe mid-1920's by Clark B. Millikan and A. L. Klein, then graduate student and research fellow, respectively, in accordancewith basic concepts furnished bythe late Dr. Theodore von Karman, the "father of aerodynamics." It was named the GALCIT tunnel, GALCIT being anacronym for Guggenheim Aeronautical Laboratory CaliforniaInstitute of Technology.

In that putrid rotting bog ofCaltech, these men alone standabove the wallowing mire toprovide the impetus to those affairs that make Caltech what itis. These men stand far abovetheir fellows, and their diligentworks are felt far beyond theconfines of the noble JuniorClass. Their efforts stretch farinto the multitudinous fields ofstudent body activities, athletics,Church, Mother and Home. Andit must be admitted that allthese would fail without theirardent, nay unceasing, support.

Some interesting season statistics: The beavers outgainedtheir opponents on the ground,1410 yds. to 1215; but in the air,it was Beavers 63, opponents1014. The Beavers completed 12of 50 passes, but had another 13intercepted. Opponents werepenalized twice as much, losing415 yds. while CIT lost only 191.And the Beavers were outscoredonly by a factor of two, 189 to86, instead of a factor of five orsix as in the past seasons. That'san average score of 23-11, whereas last year the average scorewas 30-7.Individaal Leaders

Claremont-Mudd's Stags, ledby All-Coast halfback Bob Ellis,trampled the Caltech Beavers39-0 Tuesday afternoon at Tournament Park. The Beavers werepretty much of a mess after thegame, which produced morebusiness for the Health Centerthan any three others. The Beavers weren't docile by anymeans, but the already-lengthyinjury list and the usual sizediscrepancy added up to a solidwalloping.
Tech defense had its brilliantmoments, as a CHM drive washalted on the CIT 12, but theoverall effect was not exactlydevastating as CHM rushed for264 yds. to CIT's 161. Pass befense left a lot to be desired CHlVI passed for 212 yds, completing 7 of 13, while CIT completed 2 of 9 for -4 yds and hadthree intercepted, one going for25 yards and a TD.
The CIT offense could not getrolling and could not sustain adrive. Much of Tech's yardagecame on a 55-yard breakawayby Dinius, who led CIT rushers,with 65 yds. in 6 carries.. Nobodyelse could get any running room.Injuries Costly

Caltech's varsity basketballteam got off to a slow start inthe 1963-64 season by droppingtheir first two contests. Mondayevening at Scott Brown Gymnasium the Beavers were downedby Life Bible College, 63-58, whena last-minute rally fell short,and Tuesday afternoon they lostto Upland College by a score of65-57, again on their home court.
In Monday's game the Techmen, after trailing through mostof the first half, outscored theiropponents in the final minutesof that period and led at halftime by 29-27. During the firstportion of the second half, however, they encountered a scar·ing slump, and were down by asmuch as ten points with as littleas five minutes remaining in thegame. A sudden surge of fastbreaking tactics combined withimproved outside shooting narrowed this gap to four pointswith one minute of playing timeremaining, but the Beaverswere unable to further close themargin.
Hampered in the game againstLife College by the absence ofstarter Dick Burgess, the varsitycagers relied on forward JoeWeis to carry much of the scoring load, and Weis respondedwith some accurate field-goalshooting to tally 24 points. Otherhigh scorers for Caltech wereGary Dahlman with 14 pointsand Dennis McCreary, who madeall of his 12 points on freethrows. Life College featured abalance attack with four of theirstarting five scoring ten or morepoints.
Against Upland College theBeavers led throughout most ofthe first half, but a late surge

Basically a two-seater in present form, Allegro hasrear floor space that could be converted to carrytwo additional passengers. The car could be poweredby either a V-4 made by Ford of Germany or by thedomestic 144- or 170-cubic-inch Sixes.
Allegro is one of a series of Ford-built dream carswhich will be shown at the New York World's Fairto test consumer reaction to styling and mechanical innovations. This will help determine which oftheir forward-looking features are destined for theAmerican Road-as further examples of Ford MotorCompany's leadership in styling and engineering.

Because shells are notpurely calcium carbonate, butalso contain strontium and magnesium and organic materials,the Ca:Mg and Ca:Sr ratios reflect the environment of the organism: the pressure and temperature of the water it livedunder, and the chemical makeupof that water.

SeismoIlOgyTremendous advances in the
past two decades in techniquesfor recording earthquake waveshave recently led to muchknOWledge about the mechanismof fauIting that causes earthquakes. Strain gauges, 100-footquartz rods, provide a means formeasuring the stresses existingunder the earth's surface, andeventually they may be used inpredicting w hen earthquakesmight occur. But an interestingby-product of their use is thatthey can also be used to record,like seismographs, very-iongperiod vibrations (r e son antmodes of the earth with aboutone-hour periods), a feat whichwas never before possible. Datafrom these gauges show thatstronger earthquake waves areemitted in certain directionsaway from a fault than in otherdirections, and thus the directionof faUlting can be determined,as it was for the 1960 Chileanearthquake. The speeds of propagation of faulting have alsobeen uncovered from these data.

In the field of planetary science are also projects tomap the moon geologically, usingphotographs and radioactiVitymeasurements taken here onearth, and to explore Venus using the distribution of temperature across its disk, with newlyimproved techniques. Alreadythe latter study has produced apossible direction for Venus'saxis of rotation, heretofore unknown.
Tektite StudiesTektites, hunks of fused sili

They are found in theSahara, in Australia, in the Philippines, and elsewhere, but nobody knows what caused theirformation or where they're from.Studying the ratio of the oxygen isotopes 018 and 0 16 foundin tektites gives some cluesabout their formation and history. It seems that tektites havea quite constant ratio from oneto another, indicating a commonorigin, and this ratio is at theend of the spectrum of ratiosof other minerals. Attempts tofuse ordinary materials to givethe observed isotope ratio 'havefailed, indicating that tektites
