As these GAS cansare student experilllents, excellentopportunities exist for undergradu-ate student participation. CaltechSEDS will be co-hosting anotherregional space conference,CalSEDS '92. Furthermore, we willgo to Joshua Tree National Monu-ment or Mount Pinos for lllonthlystar parties with our new Ultima 8telescope. The first star party isOctober 5.

Though very independent,Caltech SEDS is part of an interna-tional organization. This past Au-gust, the Caltech chapter becamethe co-headquarters for SEDS-USA.As a result, we will be involved inlllany prdjects with national scope.Our local education rpgralll will beexpanded with the goal of interest-ing high school and college stu-dents fOflll around the country inthe space progralll. Public relationand fund-raising will also be fo-cussed on. Caltech students whowant to have an illlpact on studentsaround the country will have manyopportunities to participate in allnational projects.

Anyone who would like to getmore inforlllation about SEDS, on a .local, regional, or national level isinvited to come to our 1st llleetingon Tuesday, Oct. 8at 7:30 PM inSAC roOlll 25. NOlllination for of-ficers will be held and a video of thetotal eclipse in Baja will be shown.New lllelllbers always playa keyrole in setting the club's directionand are encouraged to attend.

The Students for the Explorationand Developlllent ofSpace (SEDS)offers a wide variety of activities inall space-related areas, includingplanetary science, aerospace engi-neering, astronolllY, and the socialand political dilllensions ofthe spaceprogram. Last year we sponsorednUlllerous tours, hosted guestspeakers, attended landings of thespace shuttle, went on lllonthly starparties, hosted a regional spaceconference, began work on GAScan experilllents ("Get Away Spe-cials" that will be flown on thespace shuttle) and developed analllbitious education progralll. Ourtours included visits to Rockwell'sPalllldale facility, where we sawthe space shuttle orbiter Endeavourunder construction at McDonnellDouglas' plant at Huntington Beach,which features a full-scale lllodel ofspace station Freedolll, andRocketdyne's facility where Deltaand Atlas rocket engines and thespace shuttle main engines are pro-duced. We also toured Caltech'sPalolllar and Big Bear Observato-ries. Our conference, CalSEDS '91,featured alllong others MarkAlbrecht, Executive secretary of theNational Space Council and astro-naut Deke Slayton. Groundworkingwas laid for one GAS can experi-lllent endeavouring to detect galllmaray outbursts frolll as yet unidenti-fied sources and another dealingwith protein crystal growth.

Last week, Dr. Stephen Hawk-ing,who has been called thegreatesttheoreticalphysicistsinceEinstein,visited Caltech to attend a sympo-sium on large scale structure in theuniverse. Dr. Hawking holds theLucasian chair of Mathematics atCambridge University and is theauthor of the best-selling A BriefHistory of Time. On Thursday apress interview was conducted inthe East Bridge Reading Room.Among those present wereHawking's nurse, two graduateassistents, a Channel 7 reporter andcameraman, and the authors,Hawking, who suffers from ALS,or Lou Gehrig's disease, has beenconfined to a wheelchair for overtwo decades. Several years ago, henearly died of pneumonia, requir-ing doctors to insert a breathingtube in his trachea, silencing hisvoice. Now, he communicatesthrough a voice synthesizer whichhe controls by selecting wordsdisplayed on an LCD monitor withaswitching device held in his lap.His other hand grasps a joystick onhis wheelchair which allows himto move independently.

As Professor Hawking enteredthe room, the ;)articipants rose andgreeted him. }~e settled down to adiscussion with the Channel 7 in-terviewer, who was preparir.g aspecial report on "black holes andspace and stuff."

At any time during an activity,you may stop participating. Even ifyou agree to start an activity, if thesituation changes for you at anytime you may stop. Although I maynot be one to speak, I think thatshowering is a good example. It'sgreat to wrestle and play with newfriends as long as you enjoy it andit's still fun.. It's great to wrestleand play with new friends as long asyou enjoy it. Ifyou start to get hurt,it is the responsibility of all in-volved to stop the activity rightaway. Nobody wants to see anyoneget seriously injured, and it's hardto tell from the outsidewhat's goingon with a person's body. Ifyou startto become injured, and you can't go'On, you should say "Stop!" and theaction shOlLd cease. This applies toall activities.

In refusing participation, you willnot be socially ostracized. Partici-pation in an organized event is notwhat makes you a memberofany ofthe houses on' this campus. Thereare no rites of passage to become areal Darb, Mole, Flem, Pageboy,Rudd, Scurve, or LLoydie. Notparticipating in house activitiessimply means you choose not toparticipate, nothing more or less.Upperclassmen should be wellaware that they are not to placesocial pressure in order to increaseparticipation.

So here's what you need to know:

Ifyou are asked to engage in anyactivity, you always reserve the rightto refuse participation. From Pageto Dabney, we all have activities inour houses that may not be ob-served in mainstream society.

Editorial

Jon LiljebladAre ideas merely the stuff of abstraction and insubstantive thinking, or

are they something more?It is perhaps too easy to forget through this mundane life that the world

is in many ways far more than the concrete situations and problems that wecontinually encounter. That is, it is a simple thing to narrow our visiondown to the concrete aspects of what comes before us and ignore theimmaterial-to pass over the possible meanings and consequences thatmay be implicated in our actions.

But is this really important? Does it really matter if events are pushedirregardless of their implications?

This past summer the populace was given the chance to view first-handa connection between actions and the inherent ideas behind them, towitness the simultaneous unfolding of a crisis and its related significancein history. Via the international media, we were able to follow the debacledcoup attempt within the Soviet Union.

Side-stepping the plethora of historical, political, and social analysesregarding those few days, and skipping past the mountains of rhetoric anddiscussion, it would do well to consider, with a little hindsight, just whatexactly we witnessed.

What we saw was a population-long perceived as knowing little ornothing about life outside of totalitarianism-rising en masse' to confrontthe representatives of their past.

And, if that was not enough, the people won. Amazingly, incredibly, itwas the people who were united, organized, defiant and the bureauracywho was confused;' muddled, waivering.

But we also saw something else.For once, in what will probably be recalled as one of the most brilliant

examples of its type in 20th-century history, we saw what happens whenthe citizens of a nation believe as one body in a common set of ideals and

I, ideas. We saw the giant swelling of the masses motivated not by military

command or tyrannical force, but spurred on instead by the existence of avision, a vision that had been planted years before had been slowly broughtto fruition. In the end, it was not money or guns or rhetoric that brought thepeople forward to face the coup. It was nothing more than mere words andideas about perestroika, glasnost, and freedom. Nothing more than thenotions first asserted by Gorbachev in the mid-80s and rockily nurturedsince then.

And for this, the masses were willing to die.Marx talked about the movement of the masses, Stalin forced the

populace to his bidding at gunpoint and sword, the KGB terrorized thenation into line, but ultimately none of these were able to do what the ideasof freedom were able to do-unify, motivate, and inspire the people to actwith their own resolve, with their own courage, and with their own power.

In some way, one might say that here ideas for once manifestedthemselves as something real.

Yes, ideas are nothing more than abstractions and sometimes aimlessthinking, but they are nevertheless are a significant factor in the day-to-dayworld around us. Ideas can at times be a critical factor in motivation andconversion. They can be the crucial inspiration needed to convince, spur,and distill in order to bring concrete actions into full-fledged fruition.

pressure on them. Some peoplewould rather see an activity per-formed once or twice before theyengage in it. Never go into a situa-tion where you feel pressured.

You should never engage in anyactivity which will put you in realphysical jeopardy. This is an abso-lute rule. Ifyou engage in a danger-0us activity and you get hurt, you';/on't be the only one who suffers.There are laws against engaging indangerous activities as an organi-zation, andifsomeone getslmrt, it'sthe organization that will suffer themost. We have all spent a lot oftimetrying tomake Caltech an enjoyableplace to be, and the house system isvery special. A careless mistakewhere someone gets hurt couldjeopardize all that we have. Andthis also extends beyond justphysical trauma. The activity is notreasonable orjust ifthe participantsfeel humiliated afterwards.

or doesn't want you around. In fact,they'd probably be glad to see youcome back and visit and possiblybecome a social member. Once youget into a house, you may find thatit's very easy to stay there and notinteract with the other houses. Sowhile you're still familiar with someof the upperclassmen and you rec-ognize other freshmen from froshcamp, feel free to stop by the otherhouses you liked.

Whatever house you get into, re-member that how much you like itwill depend somewhat on the othernew students and on upperclass-men you may havenotmet. Keep anopen mind, and realize that you'llprobably end up really liking thehouse you're picked into.

One last thing. On Sunday, goaround to the houses until you findwhere you've been chosen. Don'tget discouraged, especially if yOl,ldon't get into you first choice, be-cause the house members are wait-ing to meet you. There's also usu-ally some kind of house event oractivities going on to welcome youin. Of course, any type of houseinduction is voluntary and if youdon'twant to participate you shouldnot hesitate to say so. You will notbeostracized,orteased ifyouchooseto do this.

Rotation AdviceTo the Freshmen and Transfer Stu-dents:

Congratulations, you've almostmade it through rotation! By nowyou'll be thinking about the housesyou've been to. Tomorrow you'llhave to consider all the houses andchoose which ones you'd like toliveat,andwhichonesyouwouldn't(if any). Then you'll turn in yourlist, and wait. And during the fol-lowing day you might start to worrya little. What if I don't get into myfavorite house, even if I ranked it 1and all the others 7? What if thehouse doesn't like me? What's go-ing on at the house meetings? Whathappens at picks?

Well, first of all, try not to worry,because after Sunday night every-thing that happened at rotation andat the meetings is past history. Sec-ondly, what happens at picks onSunday is completely confidential,top secret, and nothing thathappensor is said there should ever be re-peated. If you hear rumors aboutwhat went on, remember that theyare strictly rumors. And ifyou thinksomeone really is talking aboutpicks, please inform the presidentof the house or the mc Chairman.Don't feel funny about doing this.Talking about picks is a seriousbreach of trust among the studentsand should be taken care of imme-diately.

What actually happens at picks ispretty simple. The house presidentschoose cards to determine the orderofpicking. The first five and the lastfive rounds of picks follow this or-der, going forward and then back-ward. The middle picks are done bya computer program which distrib-utes the rest of the number amongthe seven houses. Here the order israndom, because some houseschoose more students than others.Following thisorder, all the studentsare picked into a house. There is aseparatepick for students livingoff-campus. Each house brings 4 repre-sentatives besides the president andthe RA's to help with the selection.

There are some things to re-member about this weekend. Just asyou want to be in the houses youlike, so a house wants people wholike that house. Secondly, there areoften cases where the number ofstudents who pick a house far out-weighs the number of students ahouse can choose. Thus ifyou don'tget into your first choice, and there'sa very good chance you won't, itdoesn'tmean the house dislikesyou

He's suffering from anidentity crisis. Scripts are on threeday reserve at Millikan Library, andthe auditions are to be Saturday,October 12th from 1 to 3:30 and 7 to9 PM and Sunday, October 13thfrom 2-7 PM in Winnett Lounge.The play, adapted and directed bystaffmember Lynne McGrath, is tobe done as a staged reading, andpermission to perform it on Nov.22-24 has been given by the DisneyCompany in honor of Caltech'scentennial year.

The play is set in the south ofFrance in 1938; nine of the playersare dogs, and the other four are not;and while never vulgar, the humoris aimed at adults rather than chil-dren. Faculty, staff, and studentsare all welcome to tryout.

"No matter where you live, thebox number doesn't change." Thiswas largely true before. MostTechers stay in the same house fortheir entireTech career, thus alwayshaving the same maild code. Someto move, it's true. However, ac-cording to the current plan, peoplegoing on leave lose theirmailboxes,to get new ones when they return.This is certainly not an advantagefor these people.

Advantage #4 really takes thecake. "Small packages, such ascassettes, can now be placed in thebox saving you unnecessary trips tothe mail room." I've gotten lots ofpackages in Dabney Lounge, somequite a bit larger than cassettes, andthe only otherplace I've had to go isdown to the SAC for the really bigboxes.

Now I have heard some goodreasons for making mailboxes moresecure. There are stories floatingaround about stolen CDs or creditcards getting stolen from studenthouse mailboxes. Of course, theinsecurity ofthenew mailboxeskindofinvalidates these reasons too. But,"R. McKinnel," please stop feedingus this bullshit about the mailboxesbeing "for our convenience."

4 October 4, 1991 The California TechFilmaking Club at Caltech

by Varoujan Gorjian

Undergraduates, graduates, andstaffmembers interested in makingfilms came together during theSummer to form the Caltech FilmOub. The purpose of this club isultimately toprovide movie makingequipment for the Caltech commu-dty. At this stage the club is tryingto raise money togetvideo cameras,editing decks, and special effectsequipment, and, eventually, thestructure will be such that thosewho are interested in making amovie will have access to thisequipment and the other membersof the club will help them realizetheir vision. The way it will workwill be that the person with the ideawill be the director and the other

memberswill be the actors, produc-ers, editors, key grips, etc.

The fIrst meeting will take placein the SAC, room 35, at 8:00,Wednesday, October 9,1991. Themorepeoplewho showup, the closerwewill be to getting the equipment.No concrete decisions have beenmade as to the format ofthe moviemaking, we can still either go withfIlm or video. Ifyou have a prefer-ence, show up and voice your opin-ion. :Right now, we have access toboth a video camera and a super8mm fIlm camera. Your interestneed not lie solely behind the cam-era. If you want to act or write,come join us, your input will be

welcomed.But you say "I have no experi-

ence in making movies, can I joinand learn?" Sure, this is a no-expe-rience-necessary club. Just br!::lgyour enthusiasm.

Another goal for the club is tohave special showings of rare andclassic fIlms where we can learnfrom more experienced fiim mak-ers. The selectioi will depend onthe membership. So COme on downand add your voice to this new club.

the Japanese laserdisc version.The plot of Highlander 2 takes

place in the year 2029 and is muchmore action oriented than the firstone. Mulcahy's distinctive visualstyle once again comes through toliven the many sword fighting se-quences.The movie was well re-ceived when it opened in Europeand based on that another sequel isin the works with the title High-lander 3: The Magician withMulcahy and Lambert alreadysigned on as director and star.

Far more in the future is Alien 3,or, if you prefer, Aliens 2. The re-lease date for that sequel is Memo-rial Day Weekend 1992, thus kick-ing off the '92 Summer movie sea-son. Sigourney Weaver stars in astory that has been re-written bymultiple authors with a lot ofstudiointerference. I still would not holdmy breath for this movie as this isthe third announced release date.

Other movies shooting for the'92 movie season are Batman Re-turns (whichhad to temporarilyshutdown production due to cost over-runs), Honey, I Blew Up the Baby(the sequel to Honey, I Shrunk TheKids), and Robocop 3 (without Pe-ter Weller).

word on the movie was sO good thatthe end was changed to accommo-date a possible sequel. AccordingtoWalterKoenig"There were somechanges in the dialogue, and theway the movie ends now, there's adoor that's more than an inch open.We're talkingaboutsixteen-wheelersemi's. The indication is there inStar Trek VI, we're not necessarilyready to pack it all in."

Another long awaited sequel isHighlander2: The Quickening. Themovie finally got an Americandistributor and will be out Novem-~r 1st. The movie stars Christo-pher Lambert, Sean Connery, Vir-giD~a Madsen, and Michael (TotalRecall) Ironside. The director isRussel Mulcahy who did the origi-nal Highlander and, earlier, theDuran Duran videos for the Rioalbum. Unfortunately the musicwillnot be done by Michael Kamen andQueen since they were unavailableat the time. The reason that themovie's American release was de-layed was that the producers did notwant to deal with the large Ameri-can studios which cut several keysequences from Highlander in theAmerican release.

Now for a report from the set. Mycousin was an extra on the s:::t ofTrek VI and he gave me some inter-esting anecdotes without releasingany plot points. First of all, the setwas somewhat tense as the produc-tionwasbehind schedule. Everyonewas a bit on edge, especially Meyerwho knew exactly what he wantedand got it most of the time. Due tothe action packed nature of themovie a lot of smoke from explo-sions was present on the set. Inter-estingly enough, the smoke ispurple, but will appear brown onfilm. A lot of the props look verycheap and nothing like what onewould imagine them to look like,but since film does not have theresolution of the human eye, theprops look much better on screen.

Paramount has announced thatthis will be the last Trek movie withthe old cast, but never say never inHollywood. Apparently the early

TEMovie previews:

STAR WARS,STAR TREKAND Beyond...

by Varoujan Gorjian

The next Star Wars movie willsoon begin production. GeorgeLucas finally announcedthat hewillbegin work on the next Star Warschapter afterhe finishes work on hiscurrent project, Red Tails, the storyof the first black American fightersquadron duringWorld War II. Theonly definite thing about the nextStar Wars trilogy is that it wlil be aprequel to the already releasedmovies. The story, tentatively titledThe Clone Wars, will chronicle therise ofthe Empire and Vader's tumto the dark side of the Force.

No director has been announcedand at the tenth anniversary con-vention in 1987 Lucas said that hewill not direct any more of the StarWars movies which was a decisionhe made after he directed the rllstone. "On a project as complex asthis, directing is one job too many,"Lucas said. Speculation has beenrampant as to who will be chosen todirect. For The EmpireStrikes Backand Return ofthe Jedi Lucas choserelatively unknown British dh~ctors. For his other large project,Willow, Lucas worked with his pro-tegeRon Howard Spielberg'sname

.has also been thrown about as heand Lucas worked so well togetheron the Indiana Jones movies. Thedecision will be coming soon.

Unfortunately no release date hasbeen announced for the next moviegivingrise to speculation thatLucasmight try to make all three of themovies back to back, and thus re-lease in quick order. The previousStar Wars movies each took threeyears to make, so if Lucas makesjust one, the first movie will becoming within three years, but ifhe!Jlakes them back to back, the re-lease dates are unpredictable.

A blockbusterwhose release dateis more certain is Star Trek VI: TheUndiscovered Country. In its teaserin the theaters (which does not con-tain any scenes from the movie) theannounced date is December 13,1991. The movie was directed byNicholas Meyer, who also directedStarTrekII: The Wrath ofKhan, andit is being produced by LeonardNimoy. The whole cast isbackwithmany new faces like Christopher(The Sound ofMusic) Plummer andKim (Mannequin) Kattrall. ILM isdoing the special effectssowewon'thave to worry about getting card-board effects like the ones in TrekV. As far as the story goes, you canfind outpretty much thewhole thingfrom the BBS's and the Star Trek25th Anniversary Special. Alsoseeing as how the trailer for Trek Vgave away all but the last ten min-utes of that movie, I would suggestyou refrain from seeing any com-mercials for Trek VI if you want tobe surprised when you see themovie.

Hawking(continued from page 1)universe, or are they closer? Whatdo you, what do you feel person-ally?A: I believe that quasars are at greatdistances from us. That means theyhave to be giving out enormousamounts ofenergy to be as bright aswe observe. The only mechanismthat seems to account for this en-ergy is matter falling into the centerof a giant black hole at the center ofthe quasar.

Afterwards, we were led to theAthenaeum to inspect the documenton which the bet was formalized.On the way there, we talked brieflywith Hawking's assistant. Weweretold that we had come across a real"scoop," since the bet had beenrecorded just the day before. Al-though Dr. Hawking seems to havereceived the more diffIcult end ofthe bargain, he may yet be able toclaim his prize. As he remarked atthe conclusion of our interview,braving the unfamiliar territority ofthe Caltech campus to return to hisconference, "I'll fInd a way."

[Theconditionsofthebet state that if there is a black holein Cygnus X-1, Hawking must buyThorne a year's subscription toPenthouse. Ifnot, Thorne must buyHawking a four year subscription tothe British satirical magazine, Pri-vate Eye.] Do you hope to collecton the bet, and why the particularchoice of magazines?A: I have conceded the bet and sentKip a subscription to Penthouse.Penthouse was Kip's own choice. Ichose Private Eye if I won. I nowhave a new bet with Kip and JohnPreskill about naked singularities.It doesn't involve magazines, butclothes to cover our nakedness.Maybe Stewart [Hawking's gradu-ate student] can show you the bet.

"Where's Ben?" That was thequestion on the men's minds. (Ex-cept for Dave Krum who kept sing-ing, "I love a man in uniform".Don't say that to your ROTC in-structor, Dave.)
