Poets go on groundIf is a big word, however. Af·

ter losing the season opener toSanta Barbara, 13-0, Whittierhas smashed the New MexicoHighlanders, Barstow Marinesand Occidental, scoring at leastfive touchdowns per game. ThePoet offense is conducted mainlyon the ground, led by two out­standing backs: Max Fields andLes Paden. Fields has an aver­age of 13.7 yards per carry, whilePaden will be remembered asthe win n e r in both hurdlesevents of the T e c h-Whittiermeet last spring.

On the positive side of Tech'sledger is the combination of DickVan Kirk and end Fred New­man, suddenly and spectacularlycoming to life against Cal Polylast weekend. Also, Ed Krehbielwill be back in the lineup to pro­Vide much needed power for theBeavers. Luckily the Poets haveno passer, while Tech does. Care­ful and skillful use of Krehbieland Van Kirk could confound.Whittier enough for an upset.

Poly last week will undoubtedlycause some gaps in the Techlineup tomorrow night. TonyLeonard v e r y likely will notplay, and the chances of Hal For­sen appearing are slight. At thebeginning of the season, LaBru­cherie said that injuries wouldbe his worst enemy. Unfortun­ately for Caltech, he was right;injuries have hurt the team tre­mendously.

Juniors hOltdance Friday

The season's first after-gameda.nce will follow the footballgame with Whittier this Fridaynight, as the junior class hostscouples and stags in RickettsHouse lounge. An informal af­fair, the dan c e will featurecanned music, simple decora­tions, and great quantities ofdonuts and cocoa for the hungrysports fans.

The dance will be an honest­to-goodness mixer, according toPublicity Manager Bill McClure,as many of the numerous Whit­tier. girls have been personallyinvited by ASCIT to attend thegame and the dance.

Also, for years the Big T has been unable to obtain picturesof all the undergraduates. There seem to be two reasons forthis.•The first is that the' men hesitate to spend money, andthe second is that Ithey are not interested enough to botherwith it.

Dick Kirk has expressed the opinion that after defeatingthe proposal the Board should not have brought it to an elec­tion. It is his feeling that the money should come out of thepresent BigT allotment; since the Big T is already "our biggestwaste of money."

An economicallyunorganized industry

The clue lies in two other fig­ures: The average capital invest­ment per farm worker was $3,500in the early 1940s; although theagricultural pop u 1a t ion com­prises 0 n 1y 13 percent of thetotal, it is organized into 5.0 mil­lion independent units as com­pared with 4.2 million units illall other segments of the econ­omy. In other words, agricultureis the only major economicallyunorganized industry and is ex­periencing a tremendous me­chanical revolution.

At present the Governmenthas three principal farm aid pro­grams:

(1) Price supports. The U.S.gives crop loans to farmers; ifthe .price goes above the loanlevel, the farmer sells the cropand repays the loan; if it goesbelow, the government takes thecrop. However, farmers are vir­tually forced to abide by quiteliberal acreage quotas. In addi­tion, the government makes di­rect purchases of farm products.

(2) Conservation payments.The U.S. will pay farmers formaking improvements whichimprove soil conservation.

(3) Soil Bank. A The govern­ment will also pay farmers whotake land out of production, thussupposedly cutting productionand "banking" fertility.

(Continued on page 7)

Farm incomes still drop

All this money is supposed tohelp the farmer. Yet until thisyear farm income has been drop­ping steadily for five years; theper capita farm income is only45 percent of the non-farm in­come even though one-third ofthe reported farm income camefro. m non-agricultural sources,such as part-time urban employ­ment. Capital investment, on theother hand, is $15,200 per farmworker as compared with $9,600for the industrial employee. Butthe average wage for all farmworkers is $0.78 per h 0 u r ascompared with $1:98 in industry.

Something is wrong. What?

It could only happen in theUnited States. While over halfthe world enjoys an ilJadequatediet, the Department of Agricul­ture laments the prospect of thethird largest crop in the nation'shistory. For at latest report thegovernment had $7.5 billion in­vested in surplus farm products,inclUding enough wheat to feedthe nation for a year and enoughcheese to give a pound to everyman, woman, child, and rat. Lastye~r the Department spent $3.4billion for price supports, sur·plus disposal, and direct pay­ments to farmers, including $500million in soil bank payments,for taking land out of produc­tion. Yet production will prob­ably be less than one percentless, as a result. And $3.4 billionwould build quite a few rockets,not to mention schools.

Since there is a possibility of student attendance at the biennialdean's meeting between Caltech and MIT the planning will be di­rcted so that for the most part it could also be applied to the Cal­tech-MIT conference. The biennial deans' conference will beheld at MIT this spring, and if students attend, it· would precludeany other conference. The question of student attendance at thedeans' conference hinges on the availability of funds from the spon­soring foundation. Within a few weeks this question will be settledand the committee will go ahead on full scale planning for which­ever conference will be attended.

Editorial

Vote NO onamendmen.t,advises California Tech

Since high photo rates and a shortage of pictures admit­tedly is undesirable, the Big T personnel have sought to alle­viate the situation ~his year by having the photos prepaid.This is expected to get almost all of the students to get theirpictures taken, thus improving the Big T and somewhat moll ify:ing the photographers.

With thi's in mind, upon hearing of the ASCIT money sur­plus last term, the Big T requested a subsidy to cover thisyear's photos. The BOD turned them down. The Big T editorthen said he would circulate a petition to have the issue broughtto a vote. In order to save him the tr6uble, the BOD itselfvoted to bring the proposal to the students. However, 'insteadof referring to the student body a proposal to spend some ofthe surplus on Big T photos, the Board brought forward anamendment to the constitution, proviging for an assessmentof two dollars per student. .

Although prepaid photos are desirable, at least on a trialbasis, it is unreasonable to pay for them out of an increase instudent payments. Already the ASCIT is running a surplus,and the Big T is inordinately expensive (as are all college an.­nuals) . Both organizations should have offered to pay for itthemselves rather than increase compulsory student payments.

vie must urge the student. body todefeat the amendment.

( It is also of interest to "note that the election is constitu­tionally invalid, due to failure to "publish at least seven (7)

I days previous to the meeting" a "notice of the meeting anda complete statement of the amendment.")

The quest of fine eat i n g inPasadena, noticeably hamperedby the student house kitchens,led Epicure a merry chase aboutthe city in the past months. Forthose who are fed up (?), I offerthis brief guide to the somewhatmea gel' resources of our faircity.

For good food and the bestprices, Dino's out on Colorado ismy choice; great minestrone andItalian food except for pizzawhich is lousy. Sunny Italysouth of Colorado on Rosemeadserves the best pizza this sideof Sorrento, (I've tried). It'smore of a joint, but the pizza isworth it.

For a good meal at mediumprices, the Chef's Inn on Colo­rado east of Rosemead is nice.There's a big bar piano andeveryone gets loose and happy,and "the magic of their singingcasts its spell." Le Bayou onLake south of Green is nice fora change and it's close.

Mr. Steak, east on Foothill,has an impressive atmosphereand is cheap. Five bucks, tip in­cluded, is nothing for the im­pression of a steak dinner on thedolly.

The Track, up on Green, is theperfect escape from lice on rice,with a real edible "steak sand-wich. .

For the best food in Pasadena,Monty's south of California onFair 0 a k s is the place, withthick beautiful s tea k s, justcharred a little on each side, andthe greatest green salad in thecity. However, this is not forthe soul who reads the menufrom right to left.

Talk 0' the Town on Foothilleast of Rosemead is under thesame management and is evenritzier. As before, all scientistsshould stay away.

Good luck, and maybe they'llraise your scholarship.

much difference to most people.If the amendment goes through,the $2 will be gone; you can'tget it back no matter what youdo. So why go, if you don't feellike going?

At best the amendment isharmless. In fact;, it meansmore money down the rat hole.Not everybody is going to havehis picture taken, no matterwhat. Consequently, not all ofthose little $2 assessments aregoing to be spent on pictures,unless they pay a fiat sum forall the pictures, in which casethe pictures will cost more than$2 apiece if they spend all themoney they take in from theassessment. I think that it issafe to say that the passage ofthis amendment will probablypump some more of our moneyinto \J1e Big T budget. Or elsethe ASCIT will lower its sub·sidy to the Big T, and we willfind ourselves pumping moremoney into the ASCIT budget.

It is certainly true that boththe ASCIT and the Big T needand should have certain sumsof money. But do either of themneed more than they are nowgetting? The passage of thisamendment probably mea n sthat one or both of them willget more than they are now get­ting.

Considering some of the assi­nine ways they spend the moneythey now have, I, for one, amloath to give them any more.And, being of sound and con­ceited mind, I think you shouldfeel likewise.

So let's get out and defeat thatamendment.

Opinion

Stop! Wait! Halt! Don't markyour evil little X on that ballotuntil you have had the benefitof these few, gentle words oferudition which trail on towardthe bottom of the page.

First of all, this amendmentto up the Big T assessment by $2is not exactly the world's mostvital issue; I wouldn't stay upall night pondering the deep and,subtle implications. Most Tech­men will go tripping down to theBig T office one of these days tohave their pictures taken at thecost to them of $2 apiece whether·this amendment is passed or not.

Nobody is particularly inter­ested in getting the thing passed,except Reed Saunders. TheASCIT Board of Directors didnot propose the amendment be­cause they think it is a goodthing, but rather because theyfelt the student body ought tovote on it (so Saunders wouldstop pestering the' Board. Saun­ders had said he would circulatea petition to have the amend­ment proposed if the Board didnot propose it.) So, you don'thave to feel that you are sup­porting a heresy if you voteagainst the amendment.

The main purpose of theamendment is to encourage morepeople to have their picturestaken and thus enhance the cali­ber of the Big T. But I don'tthink it will work. Techmen donot fail to have their picturestaken because it costs $2, butrather because they don't wantto take the trouble to go downto the Big T office. Whether ornot they have already paid theirmoney is not going to make

THE CAL I FOR N IA TEe H

Price: $1.50Hours: 8-5:30

by Dick Van Kirk

Caltech's varsity footballersran into a potent passing combi·nation last Saturday in the formof a big, fast end, Dan Hogan,and an accurate passer, StanJackson, of the Cal Poly Bron­cos, and the combination wastoo much for the Caltech forcesto overcome. Twice Hoganscored on touchdown passes bysimply outrunning the loneBeaver defender assigned to cov­er him, and Jackson hit Hoganwith accurate long throws bothtimes.

.Caltech was hard hit by in­juries during the contest. HalForsen, tough little senior half­back, was hit by a flying elbowin the second quarter, sendinghis teeth through his lower lip.The ensuing gash required manystitches and has limited Hal'sfood to almost eXclusively theliquid variety for the past fewdays. Tony Leonard, junior end·fullback, suffered a knee injuryin the second quarter and maymiss two or three games. HalGustafson, Fred Newman, andGene Stanley were also forcedto leave the game for varyinglengths of time because of in­juries.

* * *As a final (1 hope) note about

the value or uselessness ofcrowd noise and reaction at ath­letic events I'd like to reprinta comment made by a Beaverquarterback after the Cal Polycontest. He said, "On most ofthe plays where 1 passed 1 wasrushed hard after throwing theball. Usually 1 wound up onmy back with two or three op­posing players covering me, andthe only way 1 could tellwhether the pass was completeor not was to listen to the crowdto hear which side roared loud­est. If it was our side I figuredthe pass was completed." So itappears that on at least one countthe crowd noise was a little help­ful.

That. something will be doneis becoming increasingly obvi­ous; no one is benefiting fromthe present mess. And with in,creasing pressure for militaryexpenditures, someone is boundto try to put an end to unneces­sary federal expenditures in ag­riculture. And while there aresome fields where federal con­trol seems to be the only an­swer, as in education, here isone instance where free enter­prise would probably do a bet­ter job and should be given theopportunity.

A more likely choice

But this is the ideal; unfortu­nately, it seems more likely that(2) will become a reality. Foras early as January, 1956, Presi­dent Eisenhower recommendedthat Congress consider quantityallotments for cotton and othercrops. And pressure is mount­ing on the part of the urbanpopulation to end the currentimmense expenditures on farmaid. Finally, there is the basicfact that farmers have the vote;few congressmen will have' thecourage to resist the farmer'sdemands.

in my opinion (3) is indeed thebest. The first is ineffective andexpensive, the second amountsto virtual socialism, while thethird offers some hope that 13percent of our population canimprove their unreasonably pooreconomic position without put­ting an end to a portion of whatis probably their most preciouspossession,' freedom of enter­prise. Nevertheless, it will\meana period during which the small,inefficient farmer, typified bythe "family farm," will be grad­ually forced to the wall and putout of business. It will meanthe growth. of large agriculturalcorporations, just as these havearisen in ahpost every other sec­tor of our economy. But sucha revolution will have someother important advantages. Forone, unnecessary agriculturallabor will be released for indus­trial work. Again, agriculturewill be able to put into practicemore of the scientific advancesmade in the field. Farmers willno longer be forced to "mine"the soil in order to make endsmeet; they will have sufficientincome to apply adequate soiland forest conservation meas­ures, which are sorely needed.For it has been shown that thesmaller the farm, the worse theconservation practices used.

A difficult choice

Unfortunately, there is noeasy answer; further, what maybe rationally the best choice maynot be politically feasible. Yet

These programs have failed tonoticeably improve the lot ofthe farmer because the govern­ment cannot and will not givethe farmer a substantial part ofhis income through direct sub­sidy and because the govern­ment lacks effective control overthe volume of agricultural pro­duction. Without the latter itit impossible to restore agricul­tural marketing to a free basis,which is the only way, otherthan by direct subsidy, that thefarmer can noticeably improvehis financial position. For thecurrent rapid increase in farmproductivity means that themarket will be oversupplied inthe forseeable future as long asfarmers remain unorganized.Thus there would seem to.bethree alternatives:

(1) Continue the status quowith its attendant and probablyincreasing drain on the taxpayer.

(2) Institute effective govern­ment controls over the volumeof production.

(3) Let the farmers make outthe best they can in a free mar­ket.

Reasons for failure

The Broncos next score cameafter an interception of a Stock­ing pass on the Tech 30. Onthe next play Hogan pulled inanother Jackson pasts, for Poly'sthird touchdown. Gene Beismanblocked the kick, leaving thescore at half-time 18-7.

The orange squad outplayedPoly in the second half, but mis­cues killed the Caltech offensein the second half. Poly inter­cepted five passes in the courseof the game and recovered fourBeaver fumbles.

The final Bronco score camewhen Stocking was tackled hardwhile taking in a punt on thethree-yard line. The ball squirt­ed into the end zone, where theBroncos recovered it. Van Kirkand Fred Newman blocked theextra·point attempt.

The Beavers mixed brilliancewith boners as Newman, GeneStanley, and Gustafson account-.ed for some spectacular pass-re­ceiving. Stocking and Gustafsonwere outstanding in the rushingdepartment.

Caltech played without theservices of Ed Krehbiel, ArtTakido, Tony Leonard and HalForsen, for most of the game.

Moments later Poly recovereda Tech fumble on the 15-yardline, and Jackson hit Bogan forthe score. Tech came right backwith a 59-yard drive, sparked byVan Kirk and Don Stocking. VanKirk converted, and Poly led12·7.

Cal Poly sets backTechmen, 24-7

Stellar passing defeated Caltech's gridders Saturday, and badbreaks made it a rout as Cal Poly rolled to a 24·7 victory at Pomona.

Poly's Stan Jackson-Don Hogan passing team sparked theBronco offense, accounting for: two touchdowns on 45·yard and15·yard pass plays. Dick Gustafson scored Tech's only touchdownon a seven-yard slant from fullback.

Injuries and bad breaks weak- -------------­ened the Tech offense, prevent­ing quarterback Dick Van Kirkfrom organizing sustained drives.Highlight of the game was athree·down series in the firsthalf, as the officials lost countof the plays. Takin gthe ballon the downs in Tech territory(Van Kirk failed to punt onthird down), Poly immediatelymarched to their first score.
