Taking this fact into account,the Panel on Astronomical Facilities of the National Academy. ofSciences recently recommendedthat eight large antennas be builtat the Owens Valley facility, aspart of a ten-year developmentprogram for ground-based' astronomy in the United States.
Formidable engineering problems were ove~come in designing the new antennas. This wasdone with an NSF engineeringdesign study grant under the supervision of Bruce Rule, Caltech's chief engineer, who designed the dishes and who is alsoa consultant for major radio andoptical observatories throughoutthe world.
"The problems involved maintaining the accuracy of the 14,000 square feet of aluminum parabolic reflecting surface on eachdish under all conditions of gravity, motion, wind loading, andtemperature extremes," Rule ex-

A $1,645,000 grant from the National Science Foundation hasmade it possible for Caltech tobuild the first of several 130-footdish antennas at the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, Dr. LeeA. DuBridge announced thisweek.
Designed to augment the twin90-foot dishes already at the observatory, the new metal "ears"will be the world's largest antennas capable of being pointed toany place in the sky. Westinghouse Electric Corporation hasbeen awarded a $1,200,000 contract for the first of the antennas, which is scheduled for completion in mid-1966. The remainder of the NSF grant is for development of a digital computerdrive system capable of operatingand coordinating all antennassimultaneously.Ideally Located

In a month or two construction will begin on the MillikanMemorial Library, destined to be a narrow glass-and-steel structure nine or more stories tall and consol idating all present Iibraries on campus. A week ago the Pasadena City Planning Commission approved a zoning variance to allow the building tohave its unprecedented height. So, if nothing else happens,contractors' bids will be received within a month and within twoyears we will have a modernistic sore thumb sticking up intothe smog from among the modest three-story Mediterraneanbuildings around the quad, and the eucalyptus trees will begone.
Realistic planning for the library has been going on forat least three years, with of course a cost of tens of thousandsof dolla,rs. Although the area between Bridge and Gates wasconceived as a central library site as early as 1920, only a recentgenerous gift by Dr. Seeley Mudd has brought the building closeto real ity. The present design was chosen from among some50 possible ones, and so many people have been involved inthe choosing that it is hard to tell where to put the blame.Aside from tradition, apparently the only reason for putting theIibrary where the trees are is that the spot is in a central location. But space is so limited there that, to keep the amountof ground occupied small, the edifice had to be made tall.
Now, we don't argue against the need for a central library;we a,re faced with underlit, depressing reading rooms and astock of books that overflows into halls and steamtunnels andlabs where books are decayed unmercifully. We are also notungrateful for Dr. Mudd's generous contribution that makes thenew building possible. But we are concerned about the prospects for having an eyesore on campus for the next 50 or 100years. The design for the building is not intrinsically ugly; butmodern architecture has its place, and on this campus it caneasily be out of place. Beckman Auditorium avoided being acomplete monstrosity by placing itself in relative isolation. Ifthe new style of Caltech buildings is destined to be along thelines of Keck and Booth and Millikan, then at least we mustavoid mingling them intimately with the grand old Spanishtile and vaulted ceilings.
Furthermore, is the proposed site really a central one?When the campus extends itself up to Del Mar, most likelywithin 30 years, the library would be down in the corner of thecampus. Certainly a location such as behind Steele (now beingconstructed) would be the central site of the future; and remember that the library will serve under those future conditionsmore than half its life. Even if all teaching is still done in theblock of old buildings west of Throop, the people doing research,who use the library more and who will be spread all over thefuture campus, and the students, who go to the Iibrary to studymost often directly from the residence Houses, would welcomea true central location for something that everyone hopes willbe used a lot.
Granted that another acceptable design would cost anotherpile of money to produce, the easy resolution is to build thething where it will look respectable. We feel that good tasteand a (sometimes squelched) desire to be proud of our campusdemand that Millikan go north of San Pasqual.

Three new courses will enrich the history curriculum starting third term. The courses, allsenior electives consisting ofnine units, are listed as follows:H21, Science in America, to beheaded by Donner Kevles; H42,An Age of Reform in America,will be taught by Robert L.WOOdbury; and H27, Comparative Politics, with Mrs. DorothyGuyot as instructor.
Each of the courses will require three hours of class eachweek in addition to an estimatedsix hours of outside work.
Science in America consists ofan historical examination of thescientific community from 1865to the present time. Topics suchas the patronage of research andthe nature of a scientific career,will be discussed along with therelation between the scientistand science to the universities,industry, and government of theUnited States.
The major issues and personalities of the progressive periodfrom 1890 to 1917 will be discussed in An Age of Reform inAmerica. Political responses tothe social problems caused byemerging industrialization andurbanization will spice the seminars.

Homo sapiens thenwill come in two pieces: onelittle piggy, the brain, stayinghome and analysing data; theother little piggy, a kit of sensory organs, going to market andgathering data.
So much for the near future.Once the world population hasbeen stabilized at about six billion souls, Bonner forsees theday when governments will institute human breeding programsto have the best possible six billion. The six billion with themost valuable qualities can bescientifically chosen, said Bonner,who then outlined a program todo so.

Through the mind of this reporter ran a swarm of the "bestpossible" six billions: the mostnoble six billion, the bravest sixbillion, the handsomest six billion . .. Bonner, on the otherhand, had no doubts-"It'll be themost intelligent of course," heannounced. "We'll have six billion Techmen."
The physical means for birthcontrol have been around for along time, but the need for theiruse has only now ben recognized.A good old Madison Avenue-styleadvertising campaign, said Bonner, such as was successfullywaged in Japan, is all that's required to lower the birth rate.Leon's Life

Above and Below the BeltSun spots occur in eleven year
cycles, generally in belts aboveand below the sun's equator.They are caused by the magneticfields of the sun's surface. Thefields hold the surface gases stationary, thus cooling them andmaking them visible as darkspots.
These spots are accompaniedby solar flares, which are explosions sending great amounts ofgas and energy into space. Thiscauses problems here on earthby messing up radio communications and might be disasterous toa space traveller.
Yet, while all these facts areknown about sun spots, manyquestions have not yet been answered. These, according toLeighton, are questions that thenext decade may .be able· to an·swer.
At this point, Leighton stoppedtalking and began demonstrating.The sun was too large to bringinto Beckman, but through timelapse photography the sun spotsand all the phenomina associatedwith them were brought to theaudience.

Young VowsTo GuardASCIT Money
As ASCIT Treasurer duringthe next year, my greatest concern will be the finances of whatcertainly isn't a profit-makingcorporation. Indeed, the .greatest problem which; the ASCITboard faces is determining howthe dues paid by ASCIT members can be most fairly and usefully distributed.
Experience on the retiringboard has shown me the pitfallsand problems involved in thisprocess. I know that this experience will be invaluable to mein helping to determine the financial situation of next year'sboard.
The post of IHC Chairman demands responsibility and leadership if the IHC is to maintainthe position which it has gainedover the past two years.
I have had experience on myHouse Excomm, so lam familiarwith the problems faced byHouse governments, and will bebetter able to coordinate the activities of the seven Houses. Mywork as editor of the Big T hasdemonstrated my leadership andresponsibility.
The IHC Chariman must havethe respect of Dr. Huttenback,the faculty committee, and theHouse presidents to be able tomaintain the position of authority which the IHC has gained. Ifeel that my past contacts withthese people and my record ofwork accomplished qualify mefor this position of respect.
If you want to maintain responsibility on the IHC, andtherefore the right of the Housesto govern their own affairs, votefor me for IHC Chairman.
Bill Broste
But experience and basic ability serve merely to narrow thefield-what really matters iswhether or not one "reallycares." I assure you that I docare and will carry out the dutiesof this position to the best ofmy ability.
Remember to vote for FISHERfor IHC Chairman-your votewill be sincerely appreciated.
Leonard Fisher
Although the large debt withwhich ASCIT began the last yearhas been largely eliminated,some unexpected misfortunes,the Brothers Four concert forone, and some inaccurately bUdgeted undertakings, Lost Weekend is an example, forced theboard to cut some corners inother deserving areas. Althoughunfortunate, I feel strongly thatthis sort of strict adherence toa maximum expenditure is thebest financial policy for ASCIT.
ASCIT begins the new fiscalyear with an essentially cleansheet. I intend to do everythingin my power to see that nextyear at this time, the situationis the same.

The ASCIT Secretary is primarily responsible for keepingyou informed about what theBOD is doing, for carrying oncorrespondence with other organizations, and for representingthe student body in ASCIT decisions. I take these responsibilities seriously.
In the past, ASCIT financialdifficulties have seriously limited the support it could lend tocampus activities. This comingyear ASCIT will be able to useits full budget in supporting activities for the first time in several years. With this in mind,careful consideration must begiven to these expenditures andclose attention paid to the detailsof ASCIT projects, to safeguardthe interests of all of us.
The secretary can be instrumental in seeing that the wholestudent body is aware of thesedecisions and can insure that everyone will have a chance tomake his wishes known. It ishis obligation to maintain contact between ASCIT and the student body. I have the desire,and I am willing to spend thenecessary time, to do these jobswell.
According to the ASCIT bylaws: "The IHC Chairman shallbe a member of the Board ofDirectors. He shall call and preside over meetings of the Inter·house Committee. He shall beChairman of the Honor PointCommittee. He shall be respon·sible for liaison between ASCITand the various House organizations."
The~e are not easy duties, norare they limited in scope. Thisoffice calls not only for experi'lmce, but also for interest andenthusiasm. My experience asHouse treasurer and DCC, aswell as work during rotation, hasgiven me valuable insight intointra-House activities. Furthermore, participation in Interhousesports, past work as Head YellLeader of two years ago, andmembership in the Beavers haveprovided me with necessarybackground in Interhouse activities. It is this combination ofbackground and insight i n t 0
intra- and Interhouse activitiesthat is a prerequisite for a person to hold the position of IHCChairman.

To effect this he is non-votingchairman of the Board of Control and the prime representative of the Honor System to boththe faculty and students. In addition the Vice-President is amember of the ASCIT Board ofDirectors and acting President inthe President's absence.
At Caltech the Honor Systemis indeed a vital force. It is apractical mechanism which givesus many advantages, as takehome tests, and also an idealwhich many people hope to havegovern their entire lives.
It survives not by the rulingsof the BOC, but by the respectof the students. Its enfol'cement,then, should keep these facts inmind and neither press matterswhich are impractical or petty,nor neglect any region of campus life which could be deeplyaffected by violations.

The position of ASCIT VicePresident is one of extreme importance to the Caltech studentbody. The ASCIT By-laws clear-
The ASCIT president is in theunique position of contact between student government andadministration which makes himthe key to the success of manystudent plans. In this positionI plan to solicit continued facultysupport for the many ASCIT operated programs so vital to student life. The key examples arethe assembly series, coffee hour,and athletic programs. Thebroadening of the athletic program, hopefully, will be carriedout as was originally proposed,to include such possible sports asskin diving, squash, and handball.The faculty - student relationsproblem needs to be exploredalong the lines of more frequentfaculty visits to student houses.
Faculty members with an interest in the students lives andthoughts might consider gettingto know one house well, for onlythen is the air of tension dispelled; only then can a fruitfulexchange of ideas take place. Iam convinced that the studentsof any house would welcome thechance to have several interestedfaculty members visiting severaltimes a term. I turn now to thesubject familiar to all.
The notarious ASCIT debt oflast year has ceased to be acampaign issue. During the pastyear we have paid off a real debtof $2500 to Bickley Printing Company for the California Tech.
One thousand was removedfrom the bank balance at the beginning of the year, so it represented the contribution of lastyear's BOD. This year fifteenhundred was taken off the top ofthe bUdget to complete the greatrelief bill. During the comingyear we will be in a position toexpand our programs in new directions.

The Vice-President of the student body has two main jobs,the most important being Chairman of the Board of Control. AsBOC Chairman, he performs thepreliminary investigation of possible violations of the Honor System, presents cases to the BOC,and presides over meetings.
In order to perform these duties properly, the Vice-Presidentmust have a thorough knowledgefo the workings of the BOC anda maximum of experience in matters concerning the Honor System. Having served on the BOCsince last February, I feel thatI meet these qualifications.
The Honor System is one ofthe most important aspects oflife at Tech. I wish to play anactive role in maintaining it.
The other duty of the ASCITVice-President is to serve on theBOD. Being active in campusaffairs, I feel that I have gaineda considerable knowledge of student opinion and will be able torepresent this opinion on theBOD.
I would appreciate the opportunity to serve the student bodyin this office.

In running for the officeof ASCIT Social Chairman, I amvery aware of the responsibilities of this job. I have been aHouse social chairman for a yearand know the work which thejob involves. I am prepared,and eager, to do this work.
There are several problems involved with social activities atCaltech. The two most important of these are participation bythe men and obtaining womenwith whom the men can "participate." With these problems inmind, I support the followingpolicies which will provide moresuccessful ASCIT social events:1) More consultation of studentbody opinion regarding selectionof bands fot ASCIT exchangesand dances. 2) More communication between the ASCIT socialchairman and the House socialcharimen. 3) More publicity forASCIT social events.
On the basis of these policies,and my experience as a Housesocial chairman, I ask for yoursupport.

Of all the offices to be filled inthe coming elections, there isnone from which you, the students, will hear so little as fromthe BOC Secretary. This silenceis not the result of traditionalshyness on the part of BOC sec·retaries, but is just a' consequence of the secrecy underwhich the BOC operates.
Although I'm unopposed forthis office, I would like to express here a few of my feelingson matters concerning the Honor System.
First, communication betweenthe BOC and the student bodycould be betterXh,m it is. TheBOC's policy of never acting onprecedent and the secrecy withwhich meetings are conductedmake such things as policy statements very difficult, and disclosures of procedures and the disposition of cases near impossible.
Communication in the otherdirection could, however, be im·proved. BOC members are al·ways anxious to hear suggestions regarding the Honor Sys·tem-if you think, for example,that a professor could do a better job of living up to his endof the Honor System, tell a BOCmember; maybe something canbe done.
Some individuals are reluctant, or unwilling, to extend theHonor System much beyond thesphere of academic matters. Ifwe are to continue to enjoy thevery effective and very advantageous state of affairs we nowhave at Tech, we must all bewilling to apply the Honor System to all aspects of campus life.Carelessness in this area createsextremely difficult problems forthe BOC and hinders the effectiveness of the Honor System. Ihope you all will bear this inmind.
I'm grateful for the chance toserve as BOC secretary, and I'llsee that the duties of the officeare fulfilled to the extent of myabilities.

It is probable that the Beck·man use fee will be eliminatedsoon, or brought down to a rea·sonable level so that ASCIT willbe able to procure more highlevel entertainment along thelines of the Brothers Four, Bud& Travis, etc., more often.

The most incredible Interhousesporting event of the past several years has come and gone.Page House won the three-daymeet ahead of second-place Fleming and third-place Ruddock. Thestandings do not tell the story ofthe meet, nor do the individualfinishes of the events held lastWednesday through Friday atTournament Park.
It all started innocently enoughduring the trials on Wednesday.Dick Harley of Ruddock showedhis back to the rest of the packin the first heat of the 100-yarddash. Goral of Page did likewisemoments later in the second heat.DeWitt of Blacker easily rompedacross the finish line in first placein the 330, but Baze of Fleminghad a little trouble.
In the 220, it was DeWitt andHarley again as winners of theindividual heats.Good Clean Fun
The real fun started on Thursday with the field events. TwoInterhouse records were set andseveral other impressive performances were recorded. Ricketts'favorite javelin thrower, CharlesSawicki, waited until his finaltoss to overcome a determinedbid by Hawk. a Flem. The distance was 178' 9-5/8" for the second record of the afternoon; Levinson of Page was second. Thesetwo switched positions in theshot put, and Levinson completeda hard day's work by tying Dabney's Beard in the high jump.
Dabney wound up in the leadat the end of day due to the performances of Beard and Scott,each of whom placed in threeevents. Scott was one of themeet's three dOUble-winners, excelling in the pole vault and longjump, and placed third in thehigh jump.
Thus the stage was set for thefinale on Friday. Dabney had aone-point lead over Fleming afterthe field events; Page was close,only three points behind the leader, while Ruddock could amassbut 14 points in the six fieldevents, although placing at leastone man in each event, and was12 points behind the Darbs.Sob story
A couple of weeks ago, Ruddock would have been unbeatableat this stage of the meet; DickHarley looked like a cinch winner in the sprints, Alan Lee wasin the same class as Doug Gagein the hurdle events, and severalother members of the Ruddockteam seemed likely to take seconds or thirds. However, Leeinjured himself in a footballgame, and Greg Shuptrine, theirsecond hurdler, was on a fieldtrip for half the meet. Anotherlab conflict cost them a participant in the 1320; on Thursday atraffic accident cost them valuable points in two field events.The outlook..was for a tight jinish.
The runners could hardly havehoped for a better day last Friday. The sun was shining, therewas only a slight breeze, and thetemperature was in the 60's, perhaps a little chilly for the sprinters.Like a bunny
As the gun was fired for thestart of the 1320, Rob Dickinsonforgot what race he was in andran the first lap in 60-flat; Blacker's leading distance runner,Thompson, ran a steady race, andwon easily. Bloom of Ruddockmoved from fourth to second inthe final twenty yards far behind Thompson. Logan of Ricketts finished third and Dickinsonfaded to fourth in the final fewsteps.

Since USCdefeated UCLA 83-8 previously,it is safe to say that Caltech isdefinitely out of the running forthe NCAA championship thisyear, based upon comparativescores against common opponents.
Earlier the same week (Thursday), Caltech defeated PCC in atight meet 48-47. The meet hungin balance throughout most ofthe final relay, but Rick Touton,the anchor man, was finally ableto finish half a pool length aheadto eke out the victory.

The team travels today toSanta Monica Junior College tomeet Santa Monica and PierceJunior College.
In the second of such annualtournaments last Saturday, theCaltech fencing team was victorious by a narrow margin overCalifornia State College at LosAngeles (better k now n asLASC).
The match was held at theSouthern California Fencing Center in Los Angeles. The fencerswere split into two foil teams,one epee team, and one sabreteam. Each man fenced onlyone bout in each of the eventsthat he entered.
At stake was the Delmar Calvert trophy, named after thefencing maestro at both schools.The Caltech fencers were JohnHsu in the epee, foil, and sabreevents; Jay Freeman in foil;Greg Kourilsky in foil; Dan McCammon in epee and foil; DanMetlay in epee, foil, and sabre;and Carl Paul in foil and sabre.
Before the last bout, the scorewas 6-5 against Caltech in boutsand 42-42 in total touches. CarlPaul won the final match in sabre against Piper of LASC byfive touches to four, bringing thebout score to 6-6. However, thewin delivered the trophy to Caltech by giving our team a onetouch advantage out of a totalof 93.
The second period saw LaVerne whittle away the Beaver'slead to a mere three points withabout three minutes left; however, our frosh finally pulled together and broke it up with 10straight markers at the game'send. Stanley and Fink led thescorers with 23 and 22 respectively, while Terry Bruns contributed 12 and John Frazzini 14.

the tough match he fought, onlyto lose 5-7, 2-6. The Redlandsteam has enough talent that Peacock, best frosh in the conference last year, only played second doubles against Tech Saturday.
Tech fared little better in thefrosh match, but Jeff Haight andEd Groth put up determinedfights and each won a set beforebeing defeated.
The Caltech Varsity tennisteam played its first match of theseason last Thursday at T.P. andlost to Cal Poly. The final scorewas 5-3, with three of the individual matches going the fullthree sets and two matches ending in ties. Hosher and Buckholtz won singles matches forCaltech, while Ellis and the teamof Rose-Pressing tied.
The home courts proved to beof little advantage against twovery strong Redlands teams lastSaturday. In the varsity division, the hard-hitting Redlandsplayers swept all nine matchesas part of their bid for the conference crown. Techman JohnHasher deserves special note for
a tremendous start. He nevermade it to the first curve, as thestrain on his thigh muscle causedhim to fall to the track; as hehad to oe helped to his feet, theRuddock team did not finish,thereby handing over the meetto Page; the rest of the race wasa mere formality, as Resneyhung on to beat Kimbrell.

extremes. These tests are conducted with the latest equipment capable of simulating a wide variety of environmental conditions.
For the ENGINEER and the MATHEMATICIAN, NSAprovides a unique variety of opportunities in a NEW dimension in science and technology ... To assure the success of this venture, scientific employees are encouragedto pursue graduate studies at local universities underAgency sponsorship.

In an era where the frontiers of intellectual endeavor demand constant investigation, imagination must be the crux ojmotivation.
The research laboratories at the National Security Agency exemplify that rare activity where imagination and alook at the possibilities of tomorrow are the accepted philosophy. A glance inside these modern, well equipped laboratories would reveal project teams engaged in a broad spectrum of scientific investigations.
Among them ...
MAJOR COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS DEVELOP.MENT-Design of new antennas, transmitters, receiversand terminal equipment. Constructing preliminary andbasic engineering models to demonstrate the feasibility ofusing new communications concepts, techniques and circuits. Adapting and perfecting these through the designof a working prototype or field test model.COMPONENT MINIATURIZATION STUDIESPractical attempts, through basic design and analysis, toreduce the size yet improve the capability of communications and electronic data processing systems.SYSTEMS SIMULATION STUDIES-Utilization ofmodern digital and analog computers to predict the feasi-
. bility of engineering ideas and innovations.MATHEMATICAL INVESTIGATIONS-Exploring thephenomen~ of the intermarriage of mathematics and electronics in the design of secure communications systems;an essential element of the complex science of cryptology.ENVIRONMENTAL TESTING-Proving the capabilities of components and systems by simulating atmospheric
Rip!There was little suspense in
the 220 intermediate hurdles.Radcliffe bettered his own Interhouse record, as expected, andShuptrine, fin a 11 y recoveringfrom his falls of last year, alsobroke the previous record for second place. Wright of Flemingfinished in third place, hangingon to his pants over each hurdle.
By this time the sun was setting and the air was getting abit chillier. Maybe the tensionin the air was partly responsiblefor this effect, but it was definitely noticeable. A low murmurwas heard all over the infield,various people asking about thescore and the prospects for thelast event, the relay.
ParkerHere is how the score stood.
Ruddock had 49lh points, Page49, and Fleming trailed with 46lh.If Rudock won the relay, theywould win the meet; the samewith Page. If Fleming won therelay, then whoever took secondwould win the meet, unless itwas Blacker, in which case Fleming would walk away as the winners.
Ruddock was sporting an excellent relay team, comprised ofHunsaker, Galley, Brewer, andHarley, who collectively had accumulated 23"h points alreadythat afternoon; all four of themwere reasonably f res h, too.Page's team was of about thesame caliber, but Radcliffe hadjust finished his hurdle race.Fleming was in the same position as Page, as Jarvis had had

What does it take to "spark" a man to his verybest . . . to bring out the fullest expression of hisability and training? At Ford Motor Companywe are convinced that an invigorating businessand professional climate is one essential. A primeingredient of this climate is the stimulation thatcomes from working with the top people in afield ... such as Dr. James Mercereau.Jim Mercereau joined our Scientific Laboratoryin 1962. Recently, he headed a team of physicistswho verified aspects of the Quantum Theory bycreating a giant, observable quantum effect insuperconductors. This outstanding achievement
was the major reason the U. S. Junior Chamber of Commerce selectedDr. Mercereau as one of "America's Ten Outstanding Young Men of 1964."Your area of interest may be far different from Dr. Mercereau's; however,you will come in contact with outstanding men in all fields at FordMotor Company.We believe the coupling of top experience and talent with youth andenthusiasm is stimulating to all concerned. College graduates who joinFord Motor Company find themselves very much a part of this kind ofteam. If you are interested in a career that provides the stimulation ofworking with the best, see our representative when he visits your campus.We think you'll be impressed by the things he can tell you about workingat Ford Motor Company.

Club members will also pay a$4 monthly fee toward maintenance of the club's activities, covering such items as the pro-ratedcosts of 1000-hour major overhauls on the club aircraft and thelike.
SUbsequent flight plans includethe construction of a minimumperformance glider (it would flyat 35 mph!!) this summer by clubmembers, a perfect companionfor the currents that rush aroundthe nearby San Gabriels and SanBernadinos.
So look to the sky! The Caltech Flying Club's taking off!

It is hoped that a companysuch as Cessna or Piper will donate an old 150 or Tri-Pacer tothe club in lieu of a cash grant.This would be preferable in theeyes of club members since $4000of the initial costs of the clubhas been allocated to the purchase of an aircraft.$, $, $

By LES FETTIGSometime in the near future,
a group of groggy Techmen willcasually glance up at the clockon the face of Throop to discover they are half an hour late fortheir eight o'clock math recitation.
When what to their wonderingeyes will appear but a large, birdlike object perilously buzzing theselfsame cupola. Little will theyknow that they wil be amongthe privileged first to witnessthe manifestations of an enthusiasm even exceeding the loyalty(?) of whoever gets up for aneight o'clock math recitation.
If, by some strange miracle,these bewildered souls manageto open their eyes beyond thefuzzy-eyelish zone they will immediately be enlightened withthe knowledge that the mysterious object is an airplane!Guess What! .'
With the qick reflexes and instinct of the Caltech scientificspirit, they wil qUickly proceedto take a crude measurement(good to one part in one hundred) which will reveal that thecraft is maintaining, an ,altitudeprecisely 1000 feet above thenearest obstacle within a 2000foot radius (in accordaince withFederal Aviation RegulationsPart 91). This will be the finalclue: the Caltech Flying Club isin the air!!!
The above and other incidentswill be perpetrated by what atpresent consists of 18 chartermembers of the Caltech FlyingClub. Temporarily headed bygrad students Dave Cartwrightand Dave Wooten and senior DonBlumenthal, each have contributed $100 .toward the establishment of the club with the abovethree adding the remainder of a$5000 total. With this workingcapital, sky's-the-limit plans forthe club have started theirground roll· toward take-off.Lots of Enthusiasm
A bank account in the nameof the Caltech Flying Club hasbeen opened, and affidavits of theclub's resources are currently being sent to' various aircraft andrelated corporations in a questfor further funds and/or materials. Along with the statement of$5000 worth of enthusiasm is being sent a copy of the club'stemporary by-laws, and a list ofthe club's sponsors (among them,Clark B. Millikan).
With lawyer's services arrangedthrough Caltech for incorporation and chances of industrialcontributions quoted as at least6 to 1, the club should lift-offbefore much of the third termhas flown by.
The first objective is to securea Cessna 150, a sweet little twoseat aircraft that "lands like ababy carriage." Witl,1 the 150as a basis for operations, arrangements with flying schools at localairports are anticipated for thosemembers who have not yetearned their Private Pilot's ticket.Escapists
For those already wise in theways of the airplanes there isthe blissful anticipation of flyingout of the smog of the L.A. basin for only $5 an hour, gas included. (Rates run as high as$14 for a wet 150 elsewhere.) Ifthe club's performance exceedsits predicted absolute serviceceiling, expansion with other aircraft will be undertaken, butnever with any more than 20members assigned per plane forconvenience's sake.
Mr. Gilmore, .vice president ofbusiness affairs at Caltech, hashelped the club engage the services of the Hahn & Hahn law
