C laim s of Dianetics

The dianeticists claim they have a science of thought which goes far ther t han modern psy· chiatry. Theil' basic theory is that fru strations a nd complexes are at the roo t of man 's troubles, and that ' the removal of these complexes ancl frustrations by dianetic trea tment restores clear thinking.

Psychomat.ics CW'Cd

They postulate two types of complexes, "engrams," which are recei ved d uri n g unconscious states, and which are more sig· 'nificant than "blocks," which are received during conscious states. Dianetics, they claim, has been validated through the cure of psychosomatic illnesses, and a few cases of cures of physical illnesses, probably psychosomati· ca lly caused.

Shock Causes Loss The plasma, or its substitute, is needed mainly

when a person suffers from shock and the plasma leaks through the usually impenneable walls of the membranes into the body tissues.

ROTC (If TeclJ? U~he ai r is filled w ith the sound and fury of people who know

nothing about the draft giving advice to othe r people who know nothing abou t the cl l'afl"-Tech staff m embe r, upon reading this ed itor ia l.

There have been rU lllo,'s d rifti ng about school for the past few months, unsubsla n tia ted by the administration, tha t if the students here demand an ROTC, a nd if t here a re not enough deferments given to keep an active studen t body, such a tra ining program m ight be i nstalled.

Th ere a re several points to note about possible features of any ROT C program. We m ight examine the way such a plan works a t another insti tu tion, MIT, wi th problems similar to those of Cal· tech . Our information is obtained from the September 29, 1950, issue of the T cch , MIT 'S undergraduate paper and from the MIT cata logue.

1. How would cJlrollm ent in the ROTC enable a Caltech student to CO lli plcte co llege'?

According to the MIT paper the follow ing arra ngement a llows the student, in rnany instances, to finis h school: a draft defermen t agreement is signed with the ROTC; then , quoting from the MIT Tech , "th is contract, if the student is in the advanced course, (Ed. -see question 2) is practica lly a guarantee that he will not be drafted unt il he finis hes school. To the freshman or sophomore, it means that he probably won't be inducted during his summer vacation . T he agreemen ts s tipulate tha t one take all four years of ROTC. and accept a reserve commission, if offered, at the end of th e course."

2. 'VouJ(] th e RO'l'C be volimtary at eal tech'! At MIT an HOTC cou rse mu st be taken by freshmen a nd sopho­

mores; juniors and sen iors may take an advanced course, bu t a re not r equ ired to; and, under a nl w gover nment ruling, seniors and 'graduate students who a re vets may take the two year advanced course in one yea r , and will be in line for a reserve commIssion after th at yea r.

H owever MIT, being a land-gra nt college, must offe r those com­pulsory first two years of HOTC_ Tha t the program a t Caltech w ould have to be taken by every freshman and sophomore is a ques tion to be dec ided by the administrat ion and ROT:C offic ials.

H ow non·vetera n j uniors and seniors a t CaJtech would fi t into a newly inaugu rated ROTC schedul e is still another point. It is probable that juniors would be adm itted to the early course, later to take an accele rated adva nced cou rse, but whethe r they w ould be required to take ROTC we couldn 't guess.

It m igh t be noted again tha t a four year hitch in the ROTC. was requ ired for deferment at MIT. It is also probable tha t a defi­nite per centage of the student body would have to sign up for the program before the Army would give it.

Speaking facetiously, an optimum a r rangement would be to have the lower ha lf of the class in the HOTC and those in the upper given the choice of enrolling. Tha t way, everybody gets deferred.

3. 'VouJd w e at l.'cch have/ t h e time for such a pl'ogram? Looking in the MIT catalogue, w e find that the HOTC course

takes abou t - hours a week. The admin istra tion here, as sta ted in the a rticle abou t the draft in las t w eek's issue of the Tech, would probably lengthen the cou rse f rom four to five, or at best, foul' a nd one·half years, if an ROTC p rogram wer e u ndertaken.

These three questions, we realize, do not cover even a major port ion of othe r proJ)lems assoCiated with the insta lla tion of a ROTC a t Cal tech . For exam ple , we have assumed that the world s ituation will rema in in the present s ta te of half-crisis, short of tota l war , and t ha t Cong ress will enact no drastic cha nges from the p resent Jaw in any new d raft bill.

At a ny rate, we believe that ROTC a t Caltech deserves serious and fas t cons iderat ion by the students_ Until the new draft law is passed it wou ld be hard to know what to decide.

But if the p resent situa tion is not improved and the pr obability that ha lf or more of the Cal tech u ndergraduates will be taken into the Army, without fin ishing college, remai ns-then we should de· mand an ROTC 'program- volunta ry, if l)Ossible, compulsory, if not-that will enable us to rema in in school.

The lesser of two evils in th is case appea rs to be ROTC.

E ditoria l Note: T he fo llowing poem was taken from the Illinois Tech's Technology News. It is sti ll timely, as those of us who are still r ecuperating from the vacation can testify.

HAPI>Y NE' V YEAR! 'T was the Night After Ch ristmas-and, boy , wha t a house! I felt like t ile devi l! And so d id t he s pouse_ The eggnog a nd candy and turkey were swell But ten hou rs latt:r -they Sure gave me hell!

The s tock ings weren't h ung by the chimney with care,­The darned things were s prawled on the back of a cha ir The ch ildren were nes tled a ll snug in their bed, Bu t I had a la rge cake of ice on my head And when at long last I d ozed off in a nap The ice woke me up as it fe ll in my lap.

T hen for some unk nown reason , I wanted a drink, And so, started feeling my way to the sink . And I got a long fi ne t ill I s tepped on the cat, But I just don't recall what occurred after that. W hen I came to, t he house was all fl ooded with ligh t, Though u nder the table, I was high as a kite, W hile vis ions of s uga r plums d anced in my head I somehow gQt u p and got back to bed. Then w hat, to my wandering mind should appea r, Bu t a miniature sleigh and eigh t t iny reindeer. T hen the s leigh seemed to change to a red fire trUCk , And each rei ndeer changed to a blea ry-eyed buck; I k new in a momen t it must be old Nick-I tried to cry out but my tongue was too thick.

Then the old devil whistled and shouted with glee W hile each buck pawed the earth and looked daggers a t me. T hen he called them by name and the names made me s hudder W hen I heard them I fe lt like a ship without rudder. "Now Eggnog! Bacardi! F our Roses! and Brandy! Now F r uit Cake! Cold Turkey! Gin-Rickey and Candy! To the top of h is dome to the base o f his skull , Now whack away, cr ack away, wi th thumps that a re duB!" And then in a twinkling ] felt on m y roof The prancing and p~ving of each cloven hoof.

How long this went on I 'm sure I ca n't say Thoug h it seemed an etern ity, plus a long day, But fina lly, the Nigh t After Christmas had passed And I found I could rea lly think straight a t last. So I thought of the New Year a few days away And I've made me vows no tempter ca n sway. I 'm st icking to water,-don't even want ice, For there's nothing so tasty, there 's nothing so nice. The n igh t afte r Ne w Year may bother some guys But I 've lear ned my lesson,-yes. brother, I'm wise.

You can have your r ich victuals and liquor t ha t 's red, But wh at goes to my stomach, WON'T go to my head. So a big "HAPPY NE W YE AH" to you and to all I'm back on the wagon,-a'l1d I hope J dO.n 't fa ll!
