Three top ch.erni$tri seniors will continuethe,'· ~dYeatiQn, in history, law, medicine

.top .. seniors in the chemistry op­tion will further their studiesat various Harvard GraduateSchools. The surprising fact isthat these men are not continu­ing their studies in the field they,have pursu-ed at Caltech, but arediverging into other fields.

Eloward Berg, Tom Bergeman,and John Young will all receiyedegrees in chemistry this June,and afterward will depart topursue their respective ambi­tions in medicine, history, andlaw. Berg will journey to. Co­penhagen for a year on a Ful­bright Scholarship to study bio­chemistry at the Carlsberg Lab­oratories before entering Har­vard. He tentatively plans a ca:reer in clinical medicine. Berge­man will enter Harvard grad·uate school to study history,with the hope of receiving a PhDin that field. He plans to makea career of government work,most probably in the ForeignService.. Young wiU also enterElarvatd to study law. He wouldlike eventually to establish aprivate law practice.

Berg, Bergeman, and Young areperhaps the three most talentedseniors in the chemistry option.

There are probably moreitems in the budget which, ifexamined closely, would be in­teresting to discuss. But noamount of editorializing or stu­dent opinion can produce anintelligent budgeting of studentmoney.

Only an energetic Board ofDirectors, which realizes that ifthey budget a group too much itwill always break' even andwhich is willing to question thedecisions of past Boards; onlyan "enlightened" Board can'arrange to rescue habituallysquandered funds and put themto use on some of the projectsso badly needed at Tech.

But I would like to forwardsome of the comments whichcome to mind when consideringthe facts we have given.

Included in the item entitled"Support of Student Activities"is a $475 appropriation for tthedebate squad. This is in additionto about $800 which this groupreceives from the Institute. Thismoney is spent to allow someten or twelve students to com­pete in all manner of forensiccompetition.

Discussion of ASCIT Budgetby B()b WaL~h

I would like to call atten­tion to the breakdown of theASCIT budget which appears onthis ~age.

Although as many as three orfour hundred undergraduatesmay attend a home footballgame (of which there are two).there are rarely more than 25loyal souls at a non-conferencebasketball game away fromhome. For a generous e<;timatewe have taken an average of100 ad.rllJssions per contest. ofabout one-sixth of the studentbody.

Result: the ASCIT pays $1.32per student attending an athle­tic contest.

The ~um of $5.50 which theAthletic ~partment re<;eivesis presumed to cover admissionsfor members of the studenthody to .C. athletic contests, bothhome and away. Last yearCaltech played in seven foot­ball games and eighteen basket­ball games. Included in thesecontests were several basket­ball games to which the publicwas ::tdmitted free. We will baseou); cnlculatioDS, howeve~ on 25games.

Interhouse Food Committeefailureexperiences success,

Some men, either unaware ofor dis]11eased with the commit:tee or its results. continue toohject to chocolate sundaes, ham,or bad coffee directly to the stu­dent house office. It is perhapsjust as well, because the peoplewho hring these particular com­plaints to the committee wouldgain little satisfaction. Feelingthat variety is a necessity, thecommittee has been slow to re­move items from the menu andeach time the coffee issue comesup, they are told that everythinghas been tried and that it seemsto be the water that makes thecoffee here so bad and in thegreasy so good.

A matter looked into by thecommittee and by other inter­ested students was that of mon­ey and profit in the houses. Es­sentially the same decision wasreached by both groups. Mrs.Southworth and ComptrollerGeorge Green are not embezzlingmoney; the student houses do

The Interhouse Food Committee was first established lastyear to act 9S a clearing house for student complaints aboutthe food. It was continued this year with an eye to reducingthe number of individuals coming to Mrs. Southworth. Theidea of operation is simple. A man with a complaint takes itto a member of the committee.

Text of student-Faculty note

to educational policiesgroupThe following is a recommendation passed by the Student·Facul­

ty Relations Committee and sent to the Educational Policies Com­mittee l~st Monday.

It is our belief that student delegates to the Committee on Edu­catiol1'dl Policies would be a beneficial addition to that body in theseseveral ways:

1. Student delegates will represent the student's philo,'lophy ofeducation before the Committee.

2. StUdent delegates will contribute the student's viewpoint to dis­cussions of a specific nature.

3. Student delegates will contribute and generate worthwhile topicsof discusison which the faculty might not otherwise. consider.

4. Student delegates will improve the Hason between students andfaculty by bringing thJ Committee's viewpoints to the students.We therefore suggest the adoption of the following plan for

regular participation of student delegates in the work of the Educa·tional Policies Committee:,1. At the invitation of the Educational Policies Committee, the

student body, through its officers, will appoint three representa­tives to act as delegates to meet regularly with the Committee.It is understood that student delegates shall not vote, but mayraise matters of new business and are expeceted to participate indiscll·sion. It is further understood that the faculty members,may jf the need arises, meet without students present.

2. The three students shall be chosen by the ASCIT Board, withthe advice of the House Presidents, and will serve at the pleasureof the ASCIT Board, The choice of delegates shall be guidedby the following considerations:(a) Delegates should be chosen primarily for their intelligent

. concern for educational problems.(b) Insofar as practicable in view of (a) above, there shall be

at least one delegate from the Science options and one fromthe Engineering options.

(c) Insofar as practicable, hoth the ABCIT Board and the Inter­house Committee shall be rt~presented.

3. Student dele,~ates shall he guided hy the follo ....ving considera­tions:(a) They :,hall at all times represent the best interests of the

student body as a whole.(ll) They shall seek, and take into consideration, the opinions of

other students.(c) They shall ahide hy the policy of the Committee regarding

outside discussion of topics under consideration.

ficient. There must be compo­sitions and arrangements whichare original and unhackneyed.This fact has been tacitly ac­knowledged by the MJQ, andthere are many times when theystep out of what is usually re­garded as the domain of jazz tointroduce an unusual concept.Such a time occurs in JohnLewis' composition, Fontessa.also the title of the album, apiece inspired by the Renais­sance Clommedia Dell'arte. Fon.tessa is a programmatic work(one which tells a story), oneof the few written in jazz, andis 11 minutes in length, roughlythree times as long as ~ aver­age jazz composition. In writ·ing a very successful jazz com­pol,IUon utilizIng classical form,Lewis has completed a success­ful tour de force on two levels.

Although they may sometimesbe restrained in their interpreta­tion, the MJQ exists only to playtheir concept of jazz, a moststimUlating one. They have dem­onstrated that it is possible toproduce mature creations with·out losing sight of the basic cri­teria of jazz: "does it swing,?"From my own personal experi·pnce I can say that this album,their newest and finest, will beappreciated by all who enjoygood music.

The very absence of a hornamong their instruments re­quires that the music of theModern Jazz Quartet (or MJQ)be something unique. Ratherthan thinking of the MJQ ascompensating for this abaen<:e,I prefer to think of them astaking advantage of their situa·tion to present jazz in a freshand expressive manner.

All four members of the MJQare talented soloists, but theyhave sublimated their individualtalents towards producing en·semble efforts which are out­standing for their continuity andintegrated sound; they have ren­dered the sum of the parts great­er than the whole.

But cohesiveness in a smallgroup, while pleasing, is not suf..

laxed attitude; one cannot deny,however, that the Kostelanetzstyle has individuality, and, asthe recording is done with taste,this disk may be worth a listen.

This record, it may seem, wasreleased to justify the critics'claims. As there are nineteenother "Fifths," it is hard to un.derstand the "pressing" need forthis version, which lacks cohe­sion and is driven to excessiveclimaxes (e.g. in the first partof the last movement). Theperformance smacks of inade.quate rehearsal and lack of con­cern.

Another work well represent­ed. in the record catalogue; butthIS performance is smooth andwell-paced (and well recorded).?:rt it lacks any distinctive qual­ItIes that would make it out­standing as the versions of Klei­ber, Steinberg, and Furtwang­leI' are outstanding.

New York is currently goingthrough another of its periodicstonns involving thli! Philhar­monic-Symphony Orchestra, andin the center, as usual, is the or·chestra's music director - thistime Dimitri Mitropoulos. Butthe controversy, carried on bysuch critics as Howard Taubmanof the T1J11t1s and Winthrop Sal"geant of the New Yorker, In·volves more than personal criti·cism of Miropoulos. Under fireare the programming ("rou­tine"), the perennial engage­ment of the same soloists andguest conductors, the lack ofpromotional activity w hie hwould bolster attendance, and,most important, the orchestra'splaying. It is generally agreedthat, despite superb personnel,performances have ranged fromfair to very poor-the latter, es­pecially, with Mitropoulos con.ducting. It is reported that hissuccess in opera has caused himto lose interest in the Philhar­monic; others speak of differ­ences with the board of direc.tors. In any case, the cries forhis scalp are getting louder.

Nevertheless, the orchestra'srecording activity has been go­ing on unabated. Here are someof the last month's issues.

In the fifth Oxy got two men on bose, and with two awaySovde smashed a solid double into left center field. The blowwas responsible for two runs, and the Tigers led until the bot­tom of the seventh. In this inning tl-j,e Beavers put togetherthree hits with an Oxy miscueto tie the score.

The ninth inning was excitingall the way. Oxy pushed acrossa single run in this frame whena ball hit to the right side of theinfield scooted over second-base­man Don Stocking's arm as hemade a fine diving try for theball.

Dr. Frits W. Went, in cha.rge of the Earhart Plant Researchlaboratory and professor of plant physiology at Caltech, hasbeen elected a corresponding member of the French AcademyOf Sci~nce. The election took place April 23, at the annualmeeting in Paris.

Election to the Academy is oneof the top international sden·tuic honors, there being only 116corresponding members through.out the world. It was giyen toDr. Went for his work on en·vironmental influence on plant'lTowth, and on plant hormones.

Before the erection of the Ear·bart Laboratory, which is theI8rgest of its kind 'in the world~Xperimentalplants were grO~in ,ordinary greenhouses withoutmuch climatic control. Now,however, Dr. Went and his staffcan' reproduce as many as 46different conditions of tempera·~ure, light, and humidity, and.can study; by the uS\! of specialequipment, the effects of rainwind and various gases.
