Metrically Speaking ...

LEE F. BROWNE lectures during Metric Systems Forum. Photo by Rich Feldman

by Karl KuhlmannThe real world has come to Caltech.Most Techers know about the wallets and watches stolen during

rota tion week. The burglaries and thefts have started again. Justbefore Thanksgiving there was a mysterious fire in Willard (Dabneypresident) Brown's room; the next day his room was ritled. Sometime later, a former member of Dabney House had a large sum ofmoney, a camera, and other possessions taken from the room of afriend. Various other items, including calculators, have since beenremoved from other Dabney House rooms. A few days ago, a room

in Fleming was lifted away.Several suggestions have been

offered about what may be doneto bring the problem to an end.Doors should be locked when aroom is going to be empty for anex tended period. Be suspicious,ask him for his identification.And if something is definitelywrong, get in touch with campussecurity (50 on the campusphones in an emergency).

Above all, be careful. LeeChapman, the manager of thesecurity office, has emphasizedthat building should be relockedafter they're entered. The prob-lem will probably vanish eventu-ally, but it will take positiveaction on the part of everyone.

helping students to think metric,Homework in the class involvesinventing classroom demonstra-tions, as well as ordinary English-Metric conversion problems.

The next two weeks of thecourse will feature Caltech's veryown Prof. Richard Dean. Forthose of you who can't wait tolearn the difference between acentisecond and a hectogram, thenext meeting will be on Mondayevening at 5:30 in lSI Sloane.

For those who appreciateClassical music there are twomajor chamber music events foryou to think about. The Cole-man Chamber Music series con-tinues on January 6 with theBeaux Arts Trio. The trio,composed of Menaham Pressler(piano), Isadore Cohen (violin),and Bernard Greenhouse (cello)will perform works of Beethoven,Ravel, and Schubert. This con-cert will be at 3:30 p.m. insteadof the regular 8 p.m. SeeBeckman Ticket Office for tick-ets.

has probably been lost.This unfortunate situation

may be prevented by offeringteachers "SUbject-matter"courses, such as the MetricSystems Forum. The subjectitself is taught to the teachers,with relatively little considerationgiven to methods of teaching itin elementary classrooms. Theydo not learn the details ofdemonstrations; hopefully with agood general knowledge of thesubject they can design their ownpresentations. The opportunityfor creativity on the teachers'part is thus restored, and im-mediate answers to students'questiofls are likely to be avail-able.

For the last five weeks Mr.Browne has been presentingvarious aspects of the SystemeInternationale, from its originand foundations to the art of

Metric Systems Forum Unleashedby Rich Feldman

In a series of weekly lecturesat Caltech, teachers from thePasadena Unified School Districtare re-Iearning the basics of theS.l., or metric system.

Instructor Lee F. Browneemphasizes that the Forum is nota "methods" course. In methodscourses teachers learn specificdemonstrations to present totheir classes. This restricts theircreativity, and all too often leadsthem to proceed without under-standing the basic principles theyare demonstrating. If a brightstudent, e.g. a future Techer,asks "why does it work thatway?" a teacher may fumble forthe next half hour without givinga straight answer. With a littlemore presence of mind, he mayconfess ignorance and look upthe answer for the next day, bywhich time the students' interest

Why do they notpromptly approve or disapprovethe nomination of Ford, a manwho has been known personallyto members of both Houses forwell over two decades. Couldpolitics be in action? What areyour thoughts on these points?

I don't really know whetherNixon should be impeached ornot. However, since he is theelected President of this country,and by law can't run for

. reelection, I'll back him till histerm expires or he is impeached.If, and when his impeachment isratified by the Senate in a legalmanner, I'll withdraw that sup-port and back the Congress. Inthe meantime, you men write allyour Senators and Congressmanrequesting impeachment - if thatis your opinion of what shouldbe done. But will you ask oneother question? Ask each suchrepresentative in the House whyimpeachment hasn't been startedlong ago? Is that a reasonablerequest?

Looking back over my life-time of presidents, and holdingopinions about them, I find thefollowing:1. I thought Hoover would be agood one. Almost immediatelyhe was condemned probablybecause he didn't know how toreact fast to, and was swampedby, the great depression. Inrecent years, historians seem tomoderate those criticisms.2. Roosevelt: Was liked by most.I was attracted to him. I'malmost convinced today that hewas the worst in my times of all.Many of today's problems seemto have surfaced during histerms. Yet I must admit he didmany good things.3. Truman: I thought had to bethe worst of all at the time ofhis election. At this stage of mylife, I think he could be the bestof all in my times.

Parent Comments onNixon EditorialsThis refers to your variousanti-Nixon articles in the Novem-ber 2, 1973 issue of TheCalifornia Tech. I don't know ifa parent's views are accepted inthe school paper, but on thechance they might be, here goes:

Once a philosopher said:"There is so much good in theworst of us and so much bad inthe best of us ...". I submit athought for each of you who areso strongly anti-Nixon. Beforeyou die, each of you will beaccused many times, both justlyand unjustly, about things youdid in life. You question thisstatement? Wait and see!

I could agree for a minimumstart that the Nixon actions inrecent times' represent whatappears to me to be: (I) theheight of poor judgment inselection of people; (2) a lack ofunderstanding of the vital need

• for checks and balances withinthe Executive Branch of govern-ment; and (3) a rash of plainstupid decisions. Going on fromhere, I don't feel as sure ofmyself as some of your writersdo!

But tell me, my friends, if heis impeachable for a valid reason:Why hasn't the predominateother (Democratic) party, whichcontrols the House (which is theonly unit which can legally bringimpeachment charges), broughtthem? Why hasn't the Senatewho can legally impeach him,and is also Democratically con-trolled, waited for, or requestedHouse investigation of this situ-ation? Is anyone so naive as tothink it hasn't been thoroughlydiscussed in the House andSenate by both Democraticgroups collectively and individu-ally? I don't know the answer tothese questions! Could it be aslawyers - most of them - theyknow a man in this coun try -even this man Nixon, just likeyou and I, must be presumedinnocent until proved guilty?Could it be they, of the

Tramps and ThievesThe on-campus burglary rate

has continued to increase, withseveral more rooms broken intolast week. Three of these oc-curred during one house meal,when almost all of the membersof the house were eating. Thisindicates that the burglar wasclose enough to Tech to knowwhen the meal was going to takeplace. In an incident in anotherhouse, several hundred dollars incash and a camera were stolenfrom an unlocked room. Thesame night, a south campusmaster was stolen from a room.In the past all burglaries havebeen from unlocked rooms, butin light of this, it is no longerclear that simply locking doors issufficient to secure rooms.

The only way we have anychance of stopping these thefts isby being suspicious of strangers

by E. Squirrel MolePhysical Plant has imple-

mented a crash program toconserve electrical energy,spurred on by the fact that theInsitute's electric bill has becomeunreasonably large in the pastyear or so. Five two-man teamsfrom Physical Plant have beengoing through the buildings oncampus with the building coor-dinators and eliminating all ex-traneous lighting. Decorativelighting has been eliminatedcompletely, and some parts ofthe campus are dark at night.

With lighting somewhat undercontrol, work has begun onchanging ventilation fan speeds.It has been discovered that thepower used by fans varies withthe square of the speed at whichthey are running, so that signifi-cant reductions in speed result ineven more significan t reductionsin cost of operation. The hoursof heating and ventilation havebeen curtailed in many buildings,and there is a move afoot toclose Millikan Library at mid-night to save power. Since asmany lights are operated duringthe day as at night, the obviousanswer (taking into account theway Techers work) is to notopen Millikan until 10:00 in themorning.

Largest User in PasadenaAll the work seems to be

paying off. A long term averagereduction of power of abou t 10%has been noted. Since Caltechhas been the first large user ofpower in the Pasadena area tomake significant savings, theInstitute is now instructing otherfirms in energy conservation. PhilRector, director of PhysicalPlant, is on the energy task forceof the Pasadena Chamber ofCommerce.

Dr.Greenstein explained, "Theremust be millions of 10 to20-mile-in-diameter balls of mat-ter like Kahoutek orbiting thesun everyone hundred thousandto a millions years. These nucleiare surrounded by a fog ofparticles and gases. The cometsare only heated for a year or. sowhile they are near the sun,when they develop a tail, andspend virtually all the rest oftheir lives on the au ter fringes ofthe solar system.

"Almost certlinly comets con-tain water, but all we see is thehydroxyl radical, OH, which isprobably a remnant of a watermolecule. Apparently the sun-light breaks the comet's stablemolecules into radicals, ions, andeventually individual atoms. Theatoms evaporate from the cometas it leaves the vicinity of thesun." Greenstein hopes to seewater and hydrogen moleculesfor the first time in a comet, aswell as other metals and com-pounds not seen before. Heemphasized, "A great deal de-pends on whether Kahoutek is adusty comet. If so, the light fromit will mainly be reflectedsunlight and will block out ourmolecules. "

Comet Not So BrightIn recent developments, spe-

ctrographs .taken just last weekon the 200-inch telescope by Dr.Martin Schmidt indicate that thecomet is surrounded by gas, withvery little dust. However, headded that as a direct result ofthis, the comet will be less brightthan was originally supposed.

Beckmantrue that the conductors of theseselections are famous, the musicthey conducted on this recordwas not particularly exciting. Themost exciting works were theCoriolan Overture by Beethovenand a protion of Stravinsky'sPetrouchka. Heavy music is moredifficult to play and morebeautiful, but a record such asthis that does not containexciting works such as "The Rideof the Valkyries" becomes a trifleboring.

"The Great Instrumentalists"is the title of the third side andis truly deserving of that name.Among the selections areBeethoven's Sonata No. 8 withDaniel Barenboim at the key-board and Bach's Double Con-certo played by Itzhak Perlmanand Pinchas Zukerman.

The highlight of "The GreatSingers" on the fourth side is aperformance of Bizet's Habaneraby Maria Callas.

It should be noted that thistwo record set is not one ofthose 'fifty melodies on tworecords' deals. The performancesare complete and represen t thefinest Angel has produced in thepast twenty years. The recordsare the kind that any collector offine classical music will treasurefor years to come.

Twenty years ago, almost tothis day, Angel Records was bornand to help celebrate thisanniversary year, they produceda commemorative record setcontaining some of their bestrecordings of the past twentyyears.

The saga of Angel began whenan imaginative Scotsman, repre-senting E.M.I. Limited came toNew York in 1952 to find anAmerican distributor for theEuropean record company. Hefound Dario Soria and the twoof them decided that what thecompany really needed was anAmerican subsidiary.

Thus, the Angel label ap-peared. During the early years,they relied heavily on the artistsbooked by E.M.I. such asElisabeth Schwarzkopf, Herbertvon Karajan, Maria Callas, OttoKlemperer,. Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, and many others.

Angel has continued their

Nepotism Strikes AgainAt appropriate times, stained-

glass windows and naked angels(remember, this is an Xmasshow) appeared inside the arches.Three tableaus, featuring statue-like students painted white (likeour poor usher-almost-turned-Joseph), depicted, during appro-priate passages in the narrative,the angel Gabriel coming toMary, shepherds (and sheep dog)watching their flocks by night,and the manger scene in Bethle-hem.

Another spectacular piece ofequipment, if not scenery, was a"portable" pipe organ installedalong one wall of the auditorium.It provided marvelous accompani-ment for the singers, fromopening to finale.

to the show, and quite a tributeto Choral Music Director OlafFrodsham's ability to producescenes and sounds so moving thatscarcely a dry eye could befound in the auditorium. Whileexpertly singing Sing We Noelthe Glee Clubs lit candles andmarched down from the stage,encircling the audience in a ringof music and light.

The actors' performances areall a bit melodramatic, at timesbecoming reminiscent of TheUntouchables. The wealthy right-wing masterminds of the assassi-nation plot are made just aboutas cold-blodded as possible, whileOswald is portrayed as inno-cently as possible.

aisle in the balcony beforeBeckman Auditorium opened,"explained the dazed usher,"when the staff usher asked meto go downstairs. After allpossible escape routes had beenblocked, I was told, 'Congratu-lations. You're going to be in theshow tonight.'

"The nex t thing I knew, I wassitting half-naked in front of amirror and two women werepainting me white, fitting me fora beard, and telling me what agood Joseph I would make. I wasgetting kind of nervous, butluckily the real Joseph finallyshowed up after I was halfpainted, so I washed it off andreturned to being a friendly,smiling, but still bewildered,Beckman usher."

Every successful show has afew just-before-curtain momentsof hysteria, and last weekend'sFestival of Light was no excep-tion. But once the singingstarted, the Caltech Glee Clubs'annual celebration of Hanukkahand Christmas proved to be anoutstanding audio and visualpresentation.

program got underway the GleeClubs, encircling the audience,sang The Welcome Yule with JimHugg as soloist. For the nex thour, the Glee Clubs, or varioussubsets thereof, sang a delightfulassortment of pieces, rangingfrom Gregorian chants to a WestIndian carol, interspersed be-tween readings from a traditionalChristmas narra tive.

But since cveryonc expectsthe Glee Clubs to sound good,perhaps the most striking facetof Festival of Light was thevisual effects. Soon after thestart of the show, a brown

Bottom of the WeekThe Institute is threatening

It has beenpointed out that the parkingrules are not enforced equally,i.e. when students park in facultymembers' reserved spaces, they

They have an extensivenetwork of emissions testingdevices, automotive test equip-ment, and fueling facilities fornatural gas and propane fueledvehicles. The fuel facilities areavailable to the Tech community,but if you need to buy some fuelfrom them, make arrangementsin advance: the facilities can'thandle much beyond car projectuse.

Help Wanted (As Usual)Like any other student ac-

tivity that gets publicized in theTech the CACP could use help.Those who are competent ama-teur auto mechanics or genuineME trolls are always welcome.You can even accumulate somecredit by signing up for ME 100.Those who feel like executivesand try to organize things arewelcome, too. CACP is helpingto organize this year's R.E.D.rally, and is doing most of themoney raising.

two Club bid.

Opening lead: King of Clubs.The actual contracts ranged

from 3H to 4S, however to putmore pressure on George, Ralphput him at 6H.

With the King of Clubs led in,George found that there wereonly two reasonable ways to playthe contract. He could eitherseek to ruff his small spades anddiamonds in the dummy, usingthe A K of Spades and club ruffsfor transportation to his hand; orhe could try a spade finesse,seeking to set up his spades andruff only the diamonds in thedummy. George correctly de-cided that the spade finesse wasthe stronger play for the con-tract; for if the finesse goesdown, George can make hiscan tract if East has at least threediamonds or West has the Nineof Hearts. The cross-ruff wouldwork only if West has the Nineof Hearts or East has at leastfour diamonds. (Both methodsrequire a 4-2 or 3-3 spadespli t.)

As the cards lay in thissituation, both methods work.However, George's method willwork more often.

by Tim GroatAnybody who lives in the

greater Los Angeles area has toface the sky sooner or later. Likeit or not, the air around here isalmost unfit for human respira-tion. But since it isn't likely toget much better until oil reservesare totally depleted, it would beimprudent to hold your breathwaiting.

A much better plan of attackwould be the one adopted by theCaltech Clean Air Car Project.Since their start in 1970, theyhave been investigating ways ofimproving the quality of our air.Their efforts have been concen-trated on what can be done tocorrect smog-synthesizing enginesin cars that are already on theroad. Major areas of researchhave been in the practicalconsiderations of fleet car con-version and in the fitting ofreasonably simple, inexpensivedevice to older cars.

CACP is BegottenThe CACP was the end result

of a chain reaction that startedWi th the 1970 MIT to Caltechclean-air car race. The cars thatcomprised the team, additionalpersonnel, and a bit of hardwork made the CACP permanent.Money was extorted from thenow-defunct ASCIT research pro-ject, EQL, and the Rockefellerfoundation.

Soon CACP gathered enoughinformation to begin consulta-tions with businesses, that want-ed to determine what fuel systemwould yield the best economicbenefits. They poked data into astack of punch cards, andassembled a computer programto help optimise the return.Rising in propane and natural gascosts have effectively eliminatedthe need for this program; fuelsavings are too small to justifyinconvience and the cost of theconversion.

The $1.49 Smog Device ...Meanwhile, it had come to the

attention of CACP that removingthe vacuum spark advance in anengine makes emissions fall con-siderably. Since the cost ofcutting and plugging a littlerubber hose is insignificant, thiswarranted more investigation.CACP found that this methodwo ul d subs tan tially reduceexhaust emissions by 40% (at thecost of a tune-up).

Unfortunately, the state ofCalifornia frowned upon having anon-profi t organization with noassets or insurance manufacture asmog-device. Fortunately, some-body who either came to therescue or saw a way to makepiles of money obtained $2million of insurance from Lloyd'sof London and went intobusiness selling what amountedto a modified golf tee to plugthe v?>cuum hose. All seemedwell for the $1.49 smog device(which really worked) until thestate legislature came into thescene.

More ComputerMoney Wanted

The system of accoun tingused on the PDP-IO inhibitsstudent use of that machine. It isdifficult to get computing moneybecause it is necessary to get agrant from some professor whoneeds the money for his ownstudents. The only account forstudent independent research,#98372, began running out inOctober. As a result, studentswho are high computer users findthemselves reminiscing abou ttheir high school days when theyhad almost unlimited use ofsome type of computing facility.The usual grant size, $50, isbarely enough for a week'scomputing (and a rate increase isscheduled for next term). TheInstitute can easily permit morecomputer usage, as the PDP-lOnow usually runs above 8.0 or 90percent idle. It would cost littleto put the PDP-lO to work andget a return from the moneyinvested in it. I should not needto point out that Stanford andMIT both have PDP-lO's opento unrestricted student use.

I hope that this situation willbe reviewed so that the presentunworkable system can bereplaced.

Last Saturday morning, one ofthe students in our house caughta high school student stealingfood from one of the refrigera-tors in the hallways. Althoughwe had no proof that he was aparticipant in your program, westrongly suspect that he was.

In the past, students in theprogram have been caught in theact of vandalism in the Winnetgame room and the lounge. Oneof the members of the adminis-tration told me he walked intoThroop one Saturday morningand found one of them comingthrough a transom.

Something has to be done.I realize that you are doing all

you can to keep these kids undercontrol but I would like tosuggest something. The biggestproblem that the program has isthe fact that it is scheduled onSaturday morning-a time whenmost of the Caltech communityis at home. If the classes wereheld in the afternoon, especially

In fact, I believe, he hasalmost eliminated the possibilitythat you men, and my sons,might use their life in anotherasinine world war. This I dobelieve. So I think even Nixonhas some good points.

In fact, except for singingon it, Don McLean had verylittle to do with this album. Allof the songs were written byother writers, most of the musicis played by other musicians. Ipity the poor, unsuspectingmusic lover who heard songs like"Vincent" and "Dreidel" anddecided to buy this album,thinking it was more of thesame. I realize that it is the rightof any artist to do whatever he'or she wants to do, but it justdoesn't seem fair for any record-ing artist of merit to dosomething like this.

Maybe it's true thatthere are enough people aroundwho would buy records of theirfavorite singers gargling to sellsuch a record. I'm just sorry thatDon McLean had to try and findout.
