Maslow, vis- iting psychologist and first guest of the YMCA's Leaders of Amer- ica program. Maslow began his three-day visit to Caltech yesterday with a talk before Dr. John Wier's Gen- eral Psychology class. He de- scribed his study of 25 "fully mentally healthy" subjects and how this study has broadened the present-day conception of mental health and influenced the trend of modern research. His former conventional no- tion of mental health as "an ab- sence of illness" had to be modi- fied, he said, when he discovered that his "ideal" subjects dis- played a number of exceptional capacities as well as freedom from illnesses. All Creative The subjects were aU creative people who use their capacities more fully and with greater ease than most people, Maslow fQund. They had "a much clearer than average perception of reality- good insight into people and good judgment in ideas." They were often capable of "a direct perception of reality akin to the mystical kind often described'-in religious literature." Present research is attempting to explain these capacities in· terms of the very sound mental health, in the conventional sense, of the individuals, Maslow said.

Editorial

Maslow t 5 Message To Tech"America as a culture does not produce the creative in­

dividual."These few words alone, mentioned quite calmly by Or.

Abraham H. Maslow during the first hour of his visit to ourcampus, should stimulate more than passing concern and in­terest among all the members of the Caltech community. Theone facfl of the very small number of original advances inscience or engineering that have been produced in this countryas opposed to Europe lends great weight to this commentary.

As we as a group bound by this rule of our national culture,or do we transcend it? Take a serious look at the Cal techundergraduate community.

The context that produced the lead statement was a dis­cussion of psychological well-being as a concept separate fromthe simple lack of ailments. Dr. Maslow believes that in thetruly healthy individual is found a unity of mind and spiritwhich defies older concepts of psychic makeup.

A product of this lack of confl ict is a clear insight into"reality," and a creative and effective individual. Dr. Maslowwould relate the attribute of the psychologically healthy personto those demonstrated by the rei igious mystics, by the greatestcreative artists, and the greatest scientists.

A major goal of Cal tech has long been to produce the crea­tive leader in science and engineering. Dr. Maslow's work indefining the effective and creative individual and in the studyof conditions ad characteristics which led to creativeness shouldbe of real concern to every member of our community.

Dr. Maslow's manner of speaking is forceful and clear, andthe concepts which he presents appear to be meaningfully de­rived from a clear understanding of many of the influenceswhich bear upon the psychology of the individual.

No one should miss the opportunity to hear Dr. Maslow,and more important no one should neglect to consider reflec­tively the ramifications of his statements, particularly as theyrelate to our status as members of this community.

H. James Cornelius graduated fromSwarthmore College in 1954 with a B. S.in Electrical Engineering. He's been"growing" ever since with the Bell Tele­phone Company of Pennsylvania.

After an initial 44-week inter-depart­mental training course, Jim was madeFacility Engineer in charge of the fast­growing Norristown-Pottstown area. Inthat capacity, he engineered over half amillion dollars' worth of carrier systemsand cable facilities between maj or switch·ing centers.

Today, he is one of 50 young engineersfrom the Bell Telephone Companieschosen to attend a special OperatingEngineers Training Program at Bell Lab-

oratories. This 19·month course of study-with full pay-deals with advancedtechniques and new concepts in elec­tronics which signal a new era in teleph­ony. It involves both classroom theoryand practical laboratory applications.

When Jim and his colleagues return totheir companies, they'll review majorengineering projects. This will assurethe best use of equipment for currentengineering, as well as for expected newdevelopments in conununications.

Jazz Seat

Prestige 7142 featuring: JohnColtrane, tenor sax; Red Garland,piano; Paul Chambers, bass; Ar­thur Taylor, drums.

John Coltrane is a promising,popular, and highly touted youngtenor man. Although Trane hasbeen in jazz for some time, hefirst came into prominence in1955 when he became a memberof the Miles Davis Quintet. Atthat time, he was still in theprocess of developing a personal,individual mode of expression.While working with the Davisgroup, Trane was far overshad­owed by the fabulous Miles, buthe still managed to attract at­tention due to his individuality.

Developed Into Major VoiceSince 1955, Coltrane has done

quite a bit. He has developedinto one of the major voices ofthe current jazz scene. At thispoint, Trane is certainly a rna·jor soloist in his own right, com·manding admiration and appre·ciation.

Coltrane has an u nus u a Isound. Although he plays a deephorn, he customarily works inthe upper register and also usesa distinctive edge on his tone.There is a distinctive reedy qual­ity to his tone, a sharpness with·out harshness. The tone as awhole is perhaps most reminis·cent of Sonny Stitt, with decidedinfluences by Dexter Gordon,Wardell Grey, and Stan Getz.Stitt is usually used as a con·ceptual influence. It is quite un·common, in fact, to find a tenorman coming on the scene dec­ades after Stitt and borrowinghis sound. ,

Conceptually, Coltrane leansheavily on Charlie Parker, ofcourse, but also listens to Son·ny Rollins. This too is strange,as just a few years ago Rollinscame on as a radically differentyoung tenor. It is interestingto find influences and disciplesso soon.

It must be restated here thatColtrane is markedly an indi­vidual. What with all this talkof influences, he seems to becoming out of this as a piece ofblotting paper. Everything aboutTrane's style is personal. Evenhis influences are uncommon.

Constant StrivingTrane plays fast, very fast. He

consistently plays just a shadefaster than he is able to execute.Consequently, there are somebloopers, there are some pas­sages of filler, there are some ex­ceptionally good passages, neverattempted by others, and there isan aura of tension. of constantstriving, about all his work.

.search and teaching programs inbiology, mathematics, physicsand engineering.

Reviewing the financial affairsof the Institute, DuBridge statedthat during the 1957-58 fiscalyear, Caltech's total net worthincreased by $6,606,000 to a fig­ure of $75,594,000 and that the

book value of its endowmentcapital increased by $4,910,600to $41,769,000.

He said expenses for campusoperations during the year wereslightly in excess of $9,000,000.Off-campus expenses were $3,­155,000 for the Southern Cali­fornia Cooperative Wind Tunnel,which Caltech operates for fiveaircraft companies; and $34,363,000 for the Jet Propulsion La­boratory, which Caltech operatesfor the Department of the Army.

The annual report also calledattention to direct expendituresmade for research on the campusunder contracts with the UnitedStates government. These to-

taled $2,036,665.

Gifts. and grants to the Insti­tute during the year amountedto $2,929,000 for current opera­tions, and the endowment fundwas increased by $2,501,000. Inacknowledging the gifts, Du­Bridge said there were morethan 450 donors, inclUding cor­porations, foundations, individu­als and government agencies.

BERNSTEIN ON T.V.Sunday at five in the evening

CBS television presented Leon­ard Bernstein and the New YorkPhilharmonic in a performanceof parts of Beethoven's ChoraleSymphony. The WestminsterChoir and four soloists furnishedthe vocal part of the finale.

Mr. Bernstein is, to say theleast, an anomaly. The firstAmerican conductor of the NewYork in years, and I think per­haps its youngest, he has aboundless enthusiasm and a pen­etrating knowledge of the workshe performs. But, somehow, Idon't think he ever produces upto his capabilities.

The finale of the Ninth washarsh in the tutti passages; mostof it was almost monotonal. Mr.Bernstein produced a welter ofsound, none of it polished, allof it individually competent, butessentially non-continuous, mov­ing with a hop, a step, and ajump.

The past? In just 24 years, Gen Tel has grown from a new companyinto the nation's second largest telephone system-a corporationthat ranks among America's top 35 in gross income.

The present? Gen Tel operates over 3% million telephones in 30states-and is installing 3,750 new phones each week.

The future? Gen Tel is "at home" in those suburban and rural areaswhere America is expanding at a record clip. To meet this ever­increasing need for more and better telephone communication, GenTel is investing in new facilities at the rate of almost $200 milliona year.

It took a lot of hard work and imaginative planning to put Gen Telwhere it is today. And there is no stopping now!

Soccer Men Aim For RevengeHost SagehensSaturday at 10

This Saturday at 10 a.m. thesoccer team hosts the PomonaSagehens who hold a previousupset sudden-death victory overthe Beavers. The game should bea good one, for last time theBeavers dominated every facet

The Caltech varsity soccerteam played to a tie game againstRedlands two Saturdays ago.The score was deadlocked, 1-1,after the regUlation time, andone twenty-minute overtime'wasplayed without either team scor­ing. Tech's one goal was scoredby Ellis Cumberbatch.

The following Wednesday theBeavers easily overcame U.C.Riverside, 4-1. Control of the ballfor the majority of the game wasagain evident, but in this gamethe kickers managed to put infour goals. Luis Baez-Duartegarnered 2, with Ellis Cumber·batch and Bob Norton each add·ing another.

Two relatively unsuccessfulseasons have come to a close,football and water polo, and byway of bringing down the cur­tain on the gridiron and pool foranother year, the next twoarticles will be devoted to reoview and evaluation from ourpoint of view.

Looking back over the footballseason, it seems pretty evidentthat the places where Techmissed its chances to emulatelast years' winn'ing record werein the Pomona game, which welost ,16-8 and the tie with CalWestern at 42·42. In both thesegames, a little extra drive and acouple more breaks (or fewermistakes) would have made abig difference.

A curious thing about this sea­son is that three opponents,Redlands, Cal Western, and Oc­cidental, each played the bestgame of their season against theBeavers. Redlands came nowherenear its showing against us be­fore or afterwards. It was a CalWestern team which had im­proved remarkably in passingand ball-handling that playedCaltech compared with the teamthat played Oxy, Riverside, andClaremont-Mudd. Oxy, in theirgame with us and with Pomonaa week later, suddenly jelled intoa strong team after winning onlyone previous gam e, beingplagued by injuries and so-so per­formances.

The Claremont-Mudd game wascertainly a satisfying one forthe team to end the season onand for the seniors to have fortheir last college game. We im­proved our defensive playing andthey made a couple of mistakes,but the important factor wasthat our team had the moststeam left when the fourth quar­ter came.

Next year's squad, althoughlosing five starters, will be amuch more experienced team.

This year's freshman team hada relatively large number ofplayers who showed a lot of po­tential and should come out forthe varsity. It was a disappoint­ment to see the small number ofsophomores who came out thisyear; there were quite a few whocould have done a lot for theteam but chose not to.

Total statistics show the sea·son team leaders in rushing as:
