The IHe's attitude was one ofgeneral agreement; as one studentwho attended the meeting com­mented, "Interhouse sucked; Ididn't know anybody there."

Dean Brennan contrasted Inter­house with the Halloween party inDabney Hall Garden. The differ­ence, he said, was the controlledentrances to the party. There werevery few gates left open to thegarden, and security guards at theentrances simply asked those whowished to enter what house theywere from, a question very fewgate-crashers would be able to an­swer convincingly. "It was a greatfilter," Brennan commented.

The bottom line, according tothe Dean, is the absolute necessityof "a strictly controlled perimeter."The IHC agreed, and also agreedin principle with the intention ofputting temporary fences on theOlive Walk, from Fleming to Pageand from Ricketts to Ruddock, andclosing off or controlling all otheraccess to the student houses for theevening.

This fence, in addition to act­ing as a filter, would allow CaltechSecurity to prevent bottles or cans .of alcoholic beverages from beingbrought to the event. (Bottles andcans were outlawed this year at In­terhouse; anyone who helped toclean up after the party can attestto how poorly this was enforced.)

Brennan said, "I think we'vebeen very fortunate that there ha­ven't been worse problems. Nextyear will have to be different."

But for those ofyou with sounder mind than body,the Caltech Y will be sponsoringa work day at the Five AcresGroup Homes. This communitycenter provides the comforts ofhome to boys that unfortunatelyhave none. The work day will in­clude some general housework andyardwork. The day will start at theY at 8: 15 Saturday morning witha breakfast. Rides will then leavethe Y at 8:45 and will return tocampus at about 1:00, enough timeto still give the Kelrof runnersabout 19 hours of encouragementand sympathy.

Finally on Sunday, the Y willbe co-sponsoring a tailgate party incelebration of the Caltech vs.Pasadena Police football game. Ac­cording to cheerleader Kate Loo­mis, the football game should be alot of fun for everyone with freefood and liquid refreshments for allCaltech students. This game is alsopart of the Toys-For-Tots cam­paign so be sure to bring a suitabletoy so that some underprivilegedchild will have something forChristmas.

by Jim MingesAs all of you know, parking at

Caltech is difficult to find. The sit­uation has been exacerbated by thefact that some people have been us­ing the parking lots for long-termstorage of their vehicles or to keepvehicles which are not currentlyoperational. Also, the parkingspaces have often been lost to carsowned by PCC students, surround­ing neighbors, and other people notaffiliated with Caltech.

To alleviate these problems andto free up more parking forCaltechers, Security has identified64 vehicles which they believe tobe abandoned or non-functional.Some of the characteristics iden­tifying non-functional vehicle are:broken windshields, missing majorcomponents, flat tires, or occupan­cy of the same parking space forlong periods. These vehicles havehad notices placed on their wind­shields, identifying them, and stat­ing that they will be towed away tothe Pasadena City impound yard ifthe Security Office does not hear

At first, Politzer was not keenon the idea of taking time awayfrom his work. Not teaching anycourses this term, Politzer waslooking forward to devoting fulltime to several projects he wasworking on. However, Politzer haslong been fascinated with the Man­hattan Project.

Politzer gives three reasons forhis fascination. First, says Politzer,the Oppenheimer saga is "hightragedy, worthy of Sophocles". Se­cond is the question of the respon­sibility of physicists to society. Thefinal reason is that the current stateof physics in this country is a directresult of the Manhattan project.

Thus, Politzer agreed to talk toJoffe. The two talked for hoursabout science, religion, politics,and other issues. Joffe expressedconcern that most people are ig­norant of the events that are thesource of the nuclear age in whichwe all live. He explained that hefeels bound to educate the massesabout the people and the difficultdecisions that they had to makeregarding the atomic bomb. SaysPolitzer, "Mr. Joffe believes that hecan affect people's minds andhearts. That's why he makes mo­vies." Politzer was impressed withJoffe's ideas, and agreed to take thepart, provided his time commit­ment could be minimized.

Politzer eventually spent twelvedays in Mexico working on themovie. The first six days werespent rehearsing. Politzer spenttime with Newman, Schultz, andthe other actors, showing them'how real scientists behave. Inreturn, the actors worked withPolitzer and the other non-actors,giving them acting tips. Politzerreturned to Durango three moretimes for actual shooting. Thesetrips lasted one, two, and threedays.

physidsts hanging around in thecantinas looking for odd jobs".Thus, Joffe and casting directorNancy Foy went recruiting atCaltech, Stanford, and otheruniversities. Politzer is the onlyprofessional physicist in the movie,but six other people with scientificdegrees will also appear in the film.

by Brian LemoffDavid Politzer.. Professor of

Theoretical Physics, has been tak­ing some time off this term to ap­pear in a new Roland Joffe movieabout the Manhattan Project. Thefilm, whose working title is FatMan and Little Boy, stars PaulNewman as General Leslie Grovesand Dwight Shultz (Murdoch, fromThe A-Team) as J. Robert Oppen­heimer. Politzer plays Dr. RobertSerber, one of Oppenheimer'sclosest scientific collaborators. Thepicture, which is still in produc­tion, will probably not be releasedbefore next fall.

The movie, which is set primar­ily at Los Alamos, begins with thecreation of the Manhattan Projectand the appointment of Groves andOppenheimer to head it up. In it,Joffe traces the history of theproject through the Trinity test andthe dropping of the bombs onHiroshima and Nagasaki. Particu­lar attention is paid to the politicsand dilemmas faced by those work­ing on the project, as well as theprivate lives of Oppenheimer,Groves, and several fictionalizedcharacters. The fictitious charac­ters are amalgams of many perso­nalities actually involved in theManhattan Project.

Robert Serber was a post-doc inphysics at V.C. Berkeley prior toWorld War II. He was a colleagueof Oppenheimer, and although nota part of the administrative hierar­chy, was Oppenheimer's scientificright hand man on the Manhattanproject. Serber was the man whoga"9'~ the introductory talk to scien­tists new to Los Alamos,familiarizing them with the project.Politzer met the real Dr. Serberabout ten years ago and describedhim as "quite a character". Politzerdid not even attempt to imitate thereal Bob Serber in the movie. "I'mnot an actor. I played myself, ...that's not why they got me."

Roland Joffe, whose previouscredits include The Killing Fieldsand The Mission, is the writer anddirector of the new movie. Joffe isfamous for using non-actors in hisfilms to achieve greater realism.Joffe wanted real physicists in hismovie. The movie is being filmedin Durango Mexico, and in Polit­zer's words, "There just aren't any

She empha­sized that it is extremely importantthat there be no detectable damageto or tampering with the alarms ordetectors.

I feel that the situation as itstands is intolerable. Alarms whichwake us up in the middle of thenight or which ruin our concentra­tion as we work are worse thanuseless; they are violating ourprivacy and interfering with the es­sential reason we attend this insti­tute, i.e. they remove our ability tostudy. [Besides, we want to die inflames. -eds] I agree that nodamage or tampering with thealarms should be evident. I suggestthat members of the community usetheir imagination in a nondestruc­tive manner.

If abso­lute quality is more important thanthe amateur theater values of hav­ing fun, giving normal people achance to perform, and seeing ourfriends and families on stage, thenwhy don't we just hire profession­al actors for our shows?

(TACIT) director) held call-backs.Basically, she said, all of the peo­ple called back could play leadroles. She expounded on the factthat she was delighted that therewere so many competent playersand the choice of who was actual­ly going to end up in each part wasgoing to be very difficult. In linefor Kim there were the aforemen­tioned high school student, a JPLemployee, and me, an indergrad.In line for Rosie were the JPLerand "a friend of somebody whoworks at JPL." Any of us couldhave played the parts, but it was thefriend and the highschooler whowere cast.

Yeah, I've got sour grapes. Ifit were the JPLer who won, oranother student, or a faculty mem­ber, only my pride would sting.But I lost the part to a highschool­er with no connection to Caltech,who wants to be an actress and hasplayed the part before! How am I,who happen to be studying full timeto be a geologist, supposed to beable to compete? And how couldanother Techer have competedagainst a PCC drama major? Andwhy should we have to? This issupposed to be a Caltech produc­tion, where Caltech, not the rest ofL. A., can get a chance to go onstage and show its stuff. Whatwould happen if our sports teamswere open to anybody off thestreet? We mightwin more games.And the people -who play nowwould have the privilege of warm­ing the benches for great athletes.

The point is, the musical is notusing talent in the Caltech commu­nity. And it's not like Caltechdoesn't have talent! We might geta slightly better show by pulling inoutsiders, but is that the reason forTACIT, especially its last three let­ters? If our productions have to beso great that the people at Caltechand JPL can't perform them, then

Dear Eds:There is one highschooler who

is bothering me more than all theones at Interhouse and the Hal­loween Party put together. She'sthe Polytechnique student who wascast as the female lead in Bye ByeBirdie. Auditions for the "annualCaltechl1PL musical" (that's whatit said on the orange flyer postedall over campus) were held lastweekend. Guess what: the two fe­male leads, Kim and Rosie, Mrs.Peterson, Mr. and Mrs. MacAfeeare all going to be played by peo­ple whose only association withCaltech or JPL is a friend, orknowledge that auditions were go­ing on.

There's more. Did you seeOliver! last year? The female lead,Nancy, was played by a PCC dra­ma student. 'Oliver, whose face wasseen on posters all over Pasadena,was the girlfriend of a Techer.When I complained this year thatTechers weren't being cast, I wastold that "well, we've always hadringers."

SERVING CALTECHSINCE 1945

To the Editors:There is a general misunder­

standing of the difference betweenediting and censoring. Since thedifference between the two liesprimarily on subjective criteria, itis often difficult to distinguish be­tween them.

Still, censorship is often clear­ly charged unjustly in many in­stances. When an editor refuses toprint parts of an article, or rejectsan article, writers tend to cry,"Censorship! My First Amendmentrights have been violated!" Thismay not be true, as has been borneout in the past.

For example, several yearsago, The Miami Herald refused topublish a proposed political adver­tisement. The politician sued thenewspaper, arguing that he had aright to have his opinions pub­lished.

His suit failed.The Supreme Court argued that

it is the editors' prerogative, an in­herent responsibility of their posi­tion, to decide what material shouldappear in their publication. In otherwords, the editors, in their decisionnot to publish the material, wereediting, not censoring.

This applies no less to TheCalifornia Tech. The editors arenot guilty of censorship unless theyprevent publication of material byany recourse. If one's editorialviews differ from those of the edi­tors, there are suitable avenues to

Inside World was brought to you by:

Marty O'Briennone submittedChris HabeckerGarret Choi. Gil Elbaz. Curt Hagcnlochcr. and Dave Jcitncrnone submittednone submittedCameron Campbell and Betsy Andrews

Blacker:Dahney:Fleming:Lloyd:P"gc:Ricketts:Ruddoc:k:

Ruddock: Bush's election has had an immediate effect on Ruddock House, Ruddock is now a kinder. gentler place,a constellation of 100 or so points of light, with a renewed respect for charity. decency. family values. and the beliefsthat make this country great. Admittedly, some of those points of light arc kind of dim, or even. in one case. obscuredby residue and build-up, but they're here.

Interhouse was last weekend, of course. Ruddock's new spirit was rellected in the leamwork and cooperation thatwent into its construction. At Interhouse itself. Malt Giger took it upon himself to spread the spirit(s) to. or ratherover, the party-goers from a vantage poim on the roof, The spirits he showered them with were golden. so to speak.

One little unpleasantenss was Brett getting socked in the nose by a dissatisfied customer. In a Paul-like display ofrage. he decided to be judge, jury, and executioner. He went running off with a baseball bat, knife. and chain to findhis assailant and kill him. Ed Mao went after Brett and. after several close calls. was able to trick BreI! iluo givingup his weapons. Later. though. Brett went on a rampage with a stapler and tried 10 staple Paul's nipples together inorder 10 help him learn the truth.

While all this was going on, Dave Knight was SoloFlcxing in his room with twin swedish foreign-exchange students(named Olga and Helga). Looks like that SoloFlex machine opens up whole new rcalms of possibilities for pick~up lines.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Marty's Passion Purple two-seater was collecting dust as he searched for a lovelylass with a nice pair of. uh. eyes 10 share walks on the beach with and who would be willing to puI on a nurse's uniformand give him a thorough examination followed by a stern punishment for his unhealthy lifestyle,

Everyone's wondering. though. what was in those boxes that arrived in the mail for Betsy from the Ajax RubberNovelties Corporation, and why she wouldn't open them in front of us,

Lloyd: Due to the success of the Lloyd ro(alion film, we have become inspired to present the following releases forthe holiday season:

Paultergeist~The Vice President of Lloyd gets sucked off-campus inlo the Corona TV set. but cannot be saved,because the set is broken,

Three Men and a Maybe-Starring Pete Rogan, Doug Corcoran, Jack Boyce, and Ian Dutton.Top Bun IV - The fourth chapter in the true story of Miss Tara Kirby, who abandons her l'hemislry career for an

Although we-huffed and we puffed, we just couldn't get anyone to agree <with us about the circumstances surround­ing last Sunday's Discobolus soccer game against page, So il looh like wc'lI just have to wait our turn and take thetrophy back from Lloyd or Ruddock, or Dabney if their fielding gets belief.

I decided to start a poll, Guess to the nearest hundred dollars how much hou~ing is going to charge us for havingthe red cellophane taken out of the lights at 9:00 AM Monday morning. Lord knows we aren't capable of cleaning thing~

up cheaply by ourselves. We didn't offer anyone money to help us BUILD Interhouse, what makes them think we wantto PAY to have it cleaned up'! i sense a ream job on its way.

Well. my 106 is late and rm completely bored with this. Bye.

Blacker: It had all the makings of a great Intcrhousc: the death theme. with a beautiful and gigantic set of geodesicdomes suspended from the courtyard as the Death Star. a giant gravestone on whkh people nmld actually climh tothe roof. and a silly looking spring loaded platform which almost killed a fcwpcoplc. BUI anyone who actually showedup at Blacker House on Saturday night knows that a death Interhousc was just not in the stars for us.

Instead. due to some great insight by our illustrious and inspirational work chairmen. a last-minute theme changewas made. The result: Space Opera interhouse,

The transition was smooth. The goofy platform was dressed up as the bridge of the Enterprise. so it could try tnkill people in a more spacely atmosphere, The gravestone. ",,'hich by a great coincidence had the dimensions I x 4x 9. could be filled with stars (My God!) and converted into a monolith. The gigantic geodesic Death slars were easilytrunsformed into gigantic geodesic planetal)' wonders. Add a few rolls of black paper spattered with the funkiest tlourescentpaint and a laser beam backed up by the sounds of 2001, Star Wars, Pink Floyd. etc .. and couple it with the fact thatBlacker House had the fewest number of high school kids and frat boys per square 1'001 than any other house. andyou have the makings of a good to 'excellent Intcrhouse.

And of course, that masterpiece in the genre ofunrchearsed-ad-lihbed-put-off-until-the-last-minutc-interhouse skits,Moles in Space, despite the fact that there was no pit of any kind 10 go with il. went off without a hilch.

Mike "Space Titanium" McDonald. Paul "I Smell a Bar"Amadeo, Eric "Alarm" Hassenzahl. Chris "Redshirtophobe" Hurwitz. Mark "Arbitrary as Always" Montague. and acast of dozens who gave their hearts to the audience. Thanks to everyone who contributed to Blacker Interhouse 1988and made it one of the most successful in reocnt memory.

Fleming: It was a clash of the Titans Tuesday night as the Tech edi,tors met the IHe. Numerous interested partieswere present to cheer on both sides and a good time was had by all. It seems that the good old inside world will stillbe printed as long as there. arc (Shit! Gotta' go. there's a fire! *** It's nothing to worry about folks. just a false alarm,)<Jvailable funds and such. So it seems that J owe the editors an apology for calling Ihem spoogeheaos last week. I'msorry you're spoogeheads. (Don't get riled up, it's only a joke!)

Interhouse was a blaZing success! (Speaking of blazing. it appears there ·is yet anolher fire! *** Really? It's justa fake?) As the deadline neared all hands were on deck finishing up last minute details, like the lounge. the courtyard,and the dining room. When things got rolling it was nothing but fun, fun, fun~ The roast pig was awesome. Ihe cookieswcre very lasty, the drinks were slrong, and the play was one of the worst in recehl memory. But hey. it WAS entert<:lin­ing. There was a minor fight between some random guy and Swen Schwartzenegger.. the blonde huff dude from Hell.It was all anyone could do to keep him from trashing the place. Thank God security was thcre~ (Actually. the world'ssmallest security officer showed up. took one look at Swcn, and turned around to go get help). Later in the eveningvarious alums decided to scream at eaeh other saying "This is MY house. and if you don't like it, you can get the fuckoUl~" A certain frosh was rescued from Dabney where he had consumed quile a Jot 'of alcohol. Being the nicc guythat he was he decided to give it all back before leaving,

The women's squad improvedtremendously from last year. Theyimproved by three places in theregional meet from 11th last yearto eighth. Their record in dualmeets was 7-8.

The reason for the improve­ment was the addition to the topseven of three freshman: Jerri Mar­tin, Emmeline Naranjo, and MaryRowe. Jerri finished first overall infour meets. Margi Pollack andGolda Bernstein also ran much bet­ter than last year. The women willhave six of their top seven runnersreturning next year.

The men's team finished ninthout of ten teams, beating Whittier.

by Scott KisterThe cross-country teams

finished their seasons at the NCAADivision III Western Region Meetat Castaic Lake. This was thetoughest competition Caltech hadfaced all season. The strongestteams from California came, whilethe weaker teams didn't make thetrip.

The women finished eighth outof eleven teams, beating Mills, UCSanta Cruz, and Redlands.

Freshman Jerri Martin was try­ing to qualify for the national meet.Unfortunately, she was not feelingwell at the start of the race. Dur­ing the race, she did not run withthe lead pack as usual.

With a mile to go, she neededto pass three runners to qualify. Inthe next half mile, she passed twoof them. However, she could notkeep it up and slipped to 15th. Hertime was 19:55,48 seconds slow­er than two weeks ago on the samecourse.

Five runners whom Jerri hadconsistently beaten qualified for na­tionals.

Margi Pollack and Bibi Jentoft­Nilsen both finished strongly, pass­ing six runners in the last half mile.Margi finished 39th in 21 :45. Bibifinished her college cross-countrycareer one spot back with a bestever time of 21 :48

Golda Bernstein finished an ex­cellent season by finishing 51st in

pass to bring them all the way tothe Beaver 5 yard line. With se­conds left on the clock, the Bull­dogs threw what seemed to be atouchdown pass, but it wasknocked down by Don Thomas andthe half was over, leaving the Bull­dogs scoreless.

As soon as the second halfbegan, the Beavers were able tomove the ball toward the Bulldoggoalline. From our own 30 yardline the charge was lead by VinceRiley who brought the Beavers toaround the British twenty. DarenCasey showed the Bulldogs that hecame to playas he recieved his se­cond touchdown pass from SteveBuratto.

Although there were no moretouchdowns by the offence in thesecond half they made theirpresence know, as they were stillable to 'make advances. One shin­ing moment was when Troy Lisathwas able to carry the ball some 35yards, only to be stopped within acouple of yards of the touchdown.

But it was the Beaver defencethat really decided to show theirstuff in the second half. In bne in­stance, near the end of the thirdquarter, the Bulldogs were forcedto kick from deep in their own ter­ritory. At the snap the kicker fum­bled the ball. He was able torecover but when he did he foundhimself standing in the end zone,surrounded by Beavers. LawrenceCampbell was able to make thesack, assisted by Robert Weld­stand.

At the beginning of the fourthquarter the Bulldog offence ralliedthemselves and drove deep intoBeaver territory. Once they werewithin range they were able tomake the pass to score the touch­down. However, the two pointconversion attempt by the Britishwas no good.

Caltech Beavers Football teamdefeated the British Bulldogs ontheir 1988 World Tour by a scoreof 22-6. The Bulldogs are an all­star team from the British Footballleague which consists of over 400teams. The Brits are on this tour tohelp improve football in Englandand show the rest of the world justwhat they've got.

The Beavers showed the Bull­dogs early on that this was goingto be a tough game that they wouldhave to fight hard to win. Early inthe first quarter it seemed that theBulldogs might score, as they wereable to make an early drive to bringthem close enough for a field goalattempt. Unfortunately for theBulldogs, it was no good.

This was when the Beaversstarted to pour on the pressure.Later in the first quarter, when theBeavers got the ball they were ableto make a spectacular drive, led byMike Whitney and Eric Newman,which brought them to the Bulldog5 yard line. Once there, quarter­back Steve Buratto handed it off toMike Whitney, who powered pastthe British Defence to score thetouchdown. Unfortunately, theBeaver extra point attempt was nogood.

The Beavers soon had posses­sion of the ball again and went onanother piercing drive into Bulldogterritory. This time the Beaverswere able to go for a total of 50yards to the British 15 yard line.At the fifteen, Steve Buratto letloose with a pass to Daren Casey,who made the touchdown. On theextra point Steve Harkness, wasable to fake out the Bulldogs so thatthe Beavers were able to completea pass to Fred Burnette for the twopoint conversion.
