Men Wanted Volume LXXVII Tinker, Tailor, Student Patent by Paul Mason An open meeting to discuss the student patent policy proposed by the Faculty Patent Committee will be held next Tuesday from 3 to 5 p.m. in 142 Keck. The meeting, open to all students and faculty, will be chaired by Dave Bourne, the undergraduate member of the Faculty Patent Committee, with T.L. Stam; the Institute Patent Officer, and Professor A.J. Acosta, Chairman of the Faculty Patent Committee, present to answer questions regarding the proposed new policy. Bourne stated, "The meeting is for the students to voice their opinions, ask questions, and get answers concerning the proposed new student patent policy." He went on to explain that some areas of interest to the student are: at what time will a student have to sign a patent agreement, upon registering for the first term at Caltech or when the student becomes employed by the Institute, and under what circumstances will the patent agreement be applicable to the student? The student patent policy, as wnitten by the Faculty Patent Committee, will be submitted for approval at the Faculty Board meeting on December 1. I. D. Mixup by Al Drehman In case you hadn't noticed, the student ID cards which were supposed to be available Monday weren't. this They will not be available until November 17, and even then some people will find their ID's missing. The problems are a result of the new process being used by the Graphic Arts Department for making student ID's. If all of the problems are solved, the Institute could save close to 50% of the normal cost involved in making ID cards. Unfortunately, this year about 250 were not of acceptable frosh ID's). quality (119 were For those whose ID's are missing, the Registrar's Office will provide a means of validating the temporary cards until new call be made at beginning the of next term. If for some reason you need a per- manent ID before second term, you can get one from Arts in Keith Graphic Spalding any weekday between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. It is recommended, how-ever, that you only do this if you absolutely need an ID containing your picture, because it will cost the Institute about three more dollars for each person who does this.

Number 7 Darbs Hold Drop Day by Ed Bielecki At the stroke of midnight on Halloween night, a well chilled relative of the Great Pumpkin came to rest near the base of Millikan in the Second Annual Dabney House Millikan Pumpkin Drop Experiment. Preparations for this strange occurence started earlier that evening with the selection of a suitably sincere jack o' lantern, which was then pre-cooled with dry ice. A search was then made for a cryogenic container to hold the pumpkin for the final cooling. wood box was procured, and rendered leakless with water. The pumpkin elect was in- serted, and subjected to the first of many liquid nitrogen showers. With 30 minutes remaining, the pumpkin, smiling up through its pool of LN2, was brought to Millikan and transported up- wards. With the aid of Security, the roof was attained and the pumpkin was made ready for its moment of glory. With minutes to go, the pumpkin was placed on the edge, with a clink reminiscent of fine china. The moment came, the pumpkin hurtled, and, despite hitting the sidos, produced a most satisfying impact. (The tinkle of fragments could be heard on the roof.) After a brief stop at the impact points, to inspect the remains, the technicians of Dabney Cryogenics retired to the house to start planning next year's drop. Turf Vac-Economy Size Photo by B. Lockett Football Team Installs New Offense by Ed Bielecki No, that behind strange Firestone machine on Monday wasn't the newest B&G go-cart, it was a visiting hovercraft, here for a seminar on such vehicles. The 2 ton craft was open for inspection during the day, and a goodly number of onlookers was almost always in attendance. The spectators were occasionally subjected to a small wind storm as the machine flexed its 440 cubic inch muscle, and moved itself a few feet. The watchers more observent may have noted that the craft carried both off- highway vehicle and boat stick-ers. The British company which built the machine, Sealand Ho- vercraft, has since gone out of business, and this one is owned by a consortium of four other English hovercraft companies. They are traveling around With the craft and a presentation on hovercraft to drum up interest. With the end of the seminar at 2:00, the beast bestirred itself and with its red anemometer spinning in the breeze, (and the help of a friendly jeep) made its way to the football field. Since its route took it along California Blvd. it caused a small traffic jam and great wonder in passing motorists. At the field, a transformation occured as the heretofore clumsy craft raised itself up on its cushion of air, and, with motor roaring and windstorm following, threw itself around the field. Despite a minor problem with nose heaviness, and the smallness of the area, Mike Plackett, the driver, gave novel display, spinning the craft end for end and chasing some of the TV news crews, giving spectators an idea of what the craft could do. The 22 foot long craft has a top speed of 50 mph, and a range of 200 miles. It can carry persons and is steered by rudders in the air streams, which also serve as air brakes.

The Editorial Page Already in the days of the Sierra one could see in Che an exceptional man won over by the passion of cause; someone capable of attracting, because of this very quality, the admiration and respect of his comrades. He was among the first to demand the riskiest mission, the most difficult battle. He was pro- tagonist of the prodigious military and the revolutionary feat of "Invasion" of the western part of the island. " The best among the good, the Party" What distinguished Che was that the sum total of abilities and virtues that usually come together in a unique and exceptional personality. That is why he stood out not only ds d brilliant leader and unsurpassed warrior, but also because of the integrity of his sentiments and moral values, his solid character, his unbreakable will subjected to the most difficult trials, which enabled him to overcome physical illness and which he liked to say he'd worked on "With the devotion of an artist." In the early years after the triumph of the revolution, in addition to his responsibilities as, a leader, he distinguished himself above all for his contributions in the field of thought, revolutionary contributions stemming from rigorous analysis and the enriching interpretation of Cuban and Continental reality, In the light of Marxism-Leninism. Tribute to CHE His evaluation of the importance of the masses and of the party's vanguard role in the revolution is permanent and valid today. He said: "We know we must nourish ourselves from the masses and that the masses can advance more rapidly only with the encouragement of our exam- ple." But it is necessary, he pointed out, that their concious, individual and collective participation be stressed in all the mechanisms of leadership and production, linking it up to the idea of the necessity of technical and ideological education. And he always reiterated: "The trail- blazers are the vanguard group, the best among the good, the Party." -Granma Wanted: Intelligent females of college age to learn in competitive environment.

But, intriguingly enough, they don't want all of the Spanish Sahara, they want only the part containing the phosphate mine (singular) which constitutes some eighty to ninety per cent of the total Spanish Saharan GNP. The rest of the Spanish Sahara will be benevolently donated to the southern neighbor. In the midst of all this, Algeria has been attempting to organize a Front for the Liberation of the Spanish Sahara. Oddly enough, the Algerians want only the part containing that phosphate mine. Yawn, groan. Another rinky-dink wailing about the political fate of a couple of thousand nomads - time to move on to the next article. Pity. In the midst of this hotbed of political liberalism one would think that all people rated equally, but let's face it, a few thousand more or less politically independent nomads in central Africa will make very little difference to the life of an average American. Indeed, very few Americans are even taking notice of 30K Moroccans marching into the Spanish Sahara chanting • "The Sahara is Ours!" We aren't advocating that every Techer drop what he or she is doing and rush off to join the Saharan guerilla movement (a few dozen will do), but there should be some awareness of what is going on in the real world. The next time you're grasping at straws while in the throes of a hard delivery, plucking this history as analogy from your dim memories of Friday lunch might make the delivery of that term paper a little bit easier. -Sandy McCorquodale ALL WE CAN TELL YOU IS THAT MEN WHO DON'T SMOKE...

This space contributed by the publisher as a public service Friday, November 7, 1975 | Caltech Forum The faculty and adminis- tration are considering ways to make the JPL-campus [word apparently missing, more fruitful for all concerned. It might be a reasonable idea to implement study programs which in inception are not basically different from work-study or co-op programs at other campuses. There is at present a mutually beneficial interaction with the students in the form of summer jobs. These are both earning learning and situations. With the considerable number of students who contemplate this type of future, such a program would clearly benefit the students in a big way. In addition, if such a work-study program were insti- tuted, it would free previously restricted funds from defense contracts by allowing them to be used as de facto scholarships or grants-in-aid, while simulta- neously allowing students to get academic credit. Even if it turns out that such a program is not feasible, the added value of being able to participate in an undertaking of monumental scope makes the possibility of weekend seminars at. JPL seem very much appealing from an idealistic point of view, with very few practical drawbacks. If anybody would be interested in implementing program like this, or has any ideas, please see me in 26 Dabney House. -Jim Backus FALIFORNIA Tech Friday, November 7, 1975 Volume LXXVIJ Number 7 Published weekly except during vacation periods by the Associated Students of the California Institute of Technology, Incorporated.

Mr. Don Browning of Caltech's Program and Budget Office announced last Monday that all students will be able to charge purchases at the Book- store to their Student Account. (Previously charging privileges were extended only to those students receiving scholarships or loans.) This new policy is a result of a recent investigation carried out by business services. To obtain a charge authorization, a student must obtain a card from the Student Accounts office, which is across from the elevator on the second floor of Keith Spalding. The ability to charge purchases at the bookstore should reduce the hassle of buying supplies for the student along with reducing the danger that an essential text goes unpurchased for temporary lack of funds.

The five guys who made up the performing group (there was one more on the record) were incredibly multi-talented Little Orphan Ollie was primarily the drummer, but he also played a mean bass trombone and tuba, and even a trumpet solo while playing drums at the same time. Dr. Mabuse, d.o.a., stood out on tenor sax and clarinet, throwing in some vocals occasionally. Buffalo Steve was the spokesman for the group and performed on bass, guitar, and bass and baritone sax. Bb (B-flat, not BB) Baxter played sax and electric piano and did some lead vocals Awfthe Walle carried some fine lead vocals, and really stood out on his stunning trombone solos.

Playing to a full Ramo Auditorium (which contained, alas, an abysmally small number of Techers) Grimes gave a very credible and enjoyable performance. He seemed a little ill at ease at the start of the evening (being back at Tech could be unsettling), and made a few very minor mistakes. As the pieces (which included that old French classic The Bear ulstanding Went Over The Mountain) b came more complex, howeve Grimes' playing became almo flawless. He was given a standi ovation, and responded with tu encores, one of which was fro his days as a Visiting Artist wi the Tech Glee Club.

Alan Silverstein Your BOD at Work October 30, 1975 The meeting was called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Backus in the presence of Teich, Atwater, Snyder, Fisher, Wheeler, Kaler, and eventually Sun. 2. After considering the last election, it was decided to interveiw the Senior V.P. can- didates and appoint one of them to the position. 3. Backus read a letter he had written to the Athenaeum in favor of their admitting undergrads as members.

His major concern was that it be kept clean and odor free and that managers only be allowed to live on the second floor. (or the first, for that matter). Backus signed it and sent it back. 5. The BOD decided to let Feldman worry about letting the MANIKS Tonight at 7:30 and 9:30, the ASCIT movie, And Now For Something Completely Different, will be shown in Baxter Lecture Hall, with fifty cents the admission for ASCIT members and guests, and one dollar for non-Techers. Next Wednesday night at 7:30, the Art 101 films to be screened are The Crazy Ray and Entracte. Cinematech trolls are taking a vacation; the next Cinematech night, a Marx Brothers triple feature, shall be on November 22, well after midterms. And Now For Something Completely Different is a bizarre montage of the humor of Monty Python; it is the most recent Monty Python film production before The Holy Grail, which was being screened down in Westwood recently. Monty Python is a sort of lunatic British humor group which may be described, perhaps, as an import analogue to our domestic Firesign Theater. Their humor is broadly based in the comedic tradition of physical slapstick and rapidfire visual or wordplay gags, with a heavy British accent of satire, as if from the influence of Punch. There's money in comedy. I am told that KCET is broadcasting a series of the same name, consisting of excerpts of old Monty Python material. Phenomena such as this would not likely attain a popular television audience base in the days before Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In primed the national audience for flash sequences and episodes of wild and weird humor. Monty Python's material seems be unsophisticated burlesque compared the Firesign Theater (who have no equal), yet this has its appeal. Snakes and trolls among us should find comic relief a droll escape from studies. So come up to Baxter tonight and amused. ASCIT get will need the audience; at a couple hundred bucks, this is a bloody expensive flick. The Crazy Ray (or, Paris Qui Dort, 1923) is a silent classic; a filmic fantasy of the Surrealistic school in France, it was the first film directed by Rene Clair, made when he was mere twenty-five years old, not much younger than the cinema itself. The Surrealists were exper- imenting with nascent techniques for the filmic expression of thought; the cinema seemed to be a superlative vehicle for visual communication by movement, by absurdism, and by free thought-association a la Freud. The film technicians found The Crazy Ray opportunity to play around with trick photography. It's a short film, the plot (as such) is simple: a mad professor creates an invisible ray which freezes time throughout Paris except for the top of the Eiffel Tower, from whence a few tourists descend to discover a city which THE CALIFORNIA TECH Friday, November 7, 1975 € The gravity-defying L.A.

Massive movement to ad-journ. 8:30 p.m. -Eric Kaler has gotten stuck in time. To free the other Parisians from this suspended animation, all con- cerned must become unstuck in time, thus anticipating Billy Pilgrim by a few decades. A good early anti-technological effort. Entracte (1924), as its title suggests, was the commissioned by Ballet Suedois de Rolf Mare to be shown as the intermission to the ballet Relache (meaning, "Performance Canceled) by Francis Picabia, who also wrote the film scenario. Directed by Rene Clair, the film is actually a teamwork project put out by Dadaists. The Dada movement predated Surrealism. Again, the emphasis of the work is on the creation of a surrealistic impression by visual association and dreamlike repetition of hallu- cinatory images. Indeed, Entr'acte is quite a trippy film; the Dada artists exploit the camera to produce crazy superpositions of inanimate objects and living forms, with heavy dream symbolism, It is a land- mark Dada film, a key representative of a form of expression vital to the development of the European cinema (why else would it be shown for Art 101?), it is moreover surprisingly amusing even to modern viewers (Cinematech screened it a few summers back, with favorable response), and best of all, it's free of charge. -Lewis Hashimoto Tau Beta Pi Meat The 70th national Convention Cincinnati, under the leadership! of the Tau Beta Pi Association of James H.

If these freedoms are of such little account, however, one wonders why gov- ernments are so afraid of them, and why censorship and police states are so commonplace.

THE CALIFORNIA TECH Other examples are most South American states Argentine, Brazil, Chile countries that would like to demonstrate to a unbelieving world somewhat that their economies, in fact, are not as bad as they seem, and that investments In their countries will pay off. The price: thou- sands of political prisoners, and widespread use of torture. Yet other examples of unfree states are many Southeast-Asian nations (Indonesia, Malaysia), many African states (Uganda is an obvious case) and last but not least, Spain. In all these countries, people are imprisoned only because they think differently. It is known that the overwhelming majority of detainees have never commit-ted or even advocated violence. Their countries trust that the world will forget the same way as it has forgotten most atrocities that were committed even in the recent past. And so the system works... But of course, there is no excuse for forgetting. Not being restricted ourselves, we carry the responsibility to take some ac- tion. The most effective thing to do is to let the administrations in power know that the events in their respective countries are not passing unnoticed. To do this, one can find many ways: For instance, a London based neutral organisation called Amnesty In- ternational has set up a com-petent research secretariat that 1973, Clockwork Orange 1s no mere fantasy of far-flung future: conditions close to that nightmare exist now. Consider the U.S. crime rate: the incidence of murders, rapes, armed robberies and aggravated assaults has risen to such diz- zying heights in the last decade that a virtual reign OI leilUt hangs over troubled inner dis- tricts like a fog. Two fires in Los Angeles in the last year claimed the lives of people trapped inside by the iron grills over their windows. Handguns proliferate at a terrifying rate. Burglar detec- tion guard system installments and dog sales have increased dramatically along with the crime wave. Is Clockwork Orange really so far away for us? Is it possible that it can happen here? American society is one that breeds violence. Sociologists tell us that aggression-inducing frus- 香骨香香济香粉 骨芳骨务好务行的的活号。 tration is most likely to be set off by relative deprivation, rather than deprivation itself. Racial tensions, economic tensions, the rising tenor and hysteria of the clamorings for change ... all these contribute to general pent-up desire to wreak havoc upon some convenient object. Consider our politicians: the Spanish-American War was fought for our manifest destiny. World War One was fought to save the world for democracy. Vietnamese escalation was neces-sary to save face. And to Richard Nixon, self-proclaimed peace can-didate, "peace with honor" had claims paramount over those of peace. Our politicians exemplify our national tendency to clothe acts of violence, some of them almost naked acts of aggression with the pretty garments of prolix noble-sounding justifica- tions. Our politicians are the slaves of and perhaps the chief perpetrators of our national obsession with Johnson victory: neither "be nor Nixon wanted to the first U.S. president to 务特号务务的 *CERTIFICATE * Good for $1000 on any Pair of SHOES at Regular Price (1 Coupon per Pair) HACKETT'S 62 S. 915 E. Callfornin gathers detailed information on political prisoners. The material is then sent on to small groups in over fifty countries. Usually, each group is assigned three detainees (one in the 'West', one in the 'East', and one in the Third World), whom they have to try to get free by writing polite letters to various govern-ment officials. The results are comparatively encouraging: each year, over 1000 adopted cases can be resolved. Among the members of Amnesty International we find such personalities as Peace Prize win-ner Sean McBride, and former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark. The most obvious basis for any work in a field such as this is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights which was adopted by the General As- sembly of the United Nations in 1948 (Res. 217(III), 10 Dec.). In its thirty articles the Declaration sets forth the basic rights and fundamental freedoms to which all men and women everywhere are entitled, without any distinc-tion as language, race, colour, sex, religion, political or other opinion, national or social origin, property, birth or other status. Of the two broad cate-gories of rights and freedoms thus set forth, we would like to mention the first: It covers the right to life, liberty and security of persons, freedom from slavery and servi-tude, freedom from torture or lose a'war." Even in the realm of economics, Nixon agonized for months over being the first U.S. president to devaluate the al- mighty dollar. The race for space was just that: if we were first, we would win. Such a hatred and shame of losing at anything causes those who feel they have lost, especially if they feel it was unfair, to lash back at the society they cannot beat. Nor do things look better for the future. Today's child sees an average of 10,000 murders on the tube before age sixteen. The books, television programs, and movies he sees grow ever more gory, with less and less feel for the sacredness of human life. How soon will some Chinese politician excuse some atrocity on the basis that "life is cheap" in the Occident? But not all is without hope There is a growing backlash against such society. Each things in our political murder (or, as with Ford, attempted murder) swells the ranks of those calling for effective gun control. Each round of crime escalation finds not only more calling for more repression, but more con-cerned citizens demanding that the sociological roots of the problems be ferreted out and solved. Ideas are pouring in on Page Five cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, free-dom from arbitrary arrest and detention, the right to a fair trial by an independent and impartial tribunal, the right be pre- sumed innocent until proved guilty, inviolability of the privacy and secrecy of correspondence, freedom of movement and resi-dence, the right to seek and enjoy asylum from persecution, the right to a nationality, the right to marry and found a family, the right to own prop-erty, freedom of thoughts, con-science and religion, freedom of opinion and expression, freedom of peaceful assembly and associa-tion, the right to vote and to participate in government. Almost all nations have signed the Declaration, and it has become a significant element in international law. It is our opinion that, given the facts, it is our responsibility to take some action. This does by no means imply that we must get involved in the politics of other countries. It is not ideolo-gies we want to fight or, for that matter, fight for, as this would make matters worse. All that counts is the individual. And if we know that individuals are not free for reasons contradictory to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, we are obliged to realize our freedom and to be solidaric with the unfree. Truly, this can be the only. realistic approach to a better world. how to reduce the violent tendency of American through the media, society through education, through governmental reorganization, even through ar-chitecture. Positive actions are not always organized---individuals have sought change through specific suggestions to public officials, ombudsmen, even through cor- poration officials.

On the second day, which was n 1974, certain Nameless Undergrads did notice on this photo a peculiar black circle of the same radius the Auditorium Beckman, only a half-mile South-Easterly from it. Upon inspection it was discovered be the flat, tar-covered roof of a water-storage tank, one-hundred eighty feet across. In the minds of the Undergrads, this circle became a huge Canvas, awaiting the roller-strokes of determined Artists. On the third day, which was a month ago, a holy-all-knowing Computer was asked to draw with precision the perfect shape of "T' for the roof. On the fourth day, which was somewhat after the third day, the Computer did finally reply, in debugged Fashion, "It shall be a 'T' one-hundred feet on a side, with bars eighteen feet across, and cover thirty-six-hundred square scribe feet, and ye shall pre-sixteen corner points as follows. On the fifth day, which was last week, four of those Nameless Undergrads did prescribe those points on the awaiting Canvas, using the well-known Principles of Geometry, and a very long tape measure. All was now in readiness for the final Act. On the sixth day, which was the day after the fifth day, in the dark of night, six Undergrads accomplished the Holy Deed in the space of but two hours time.

The natural resources we need to live - clean air, water, land fuels, metals - are getting scarcer. Some are on the verge of extinction. Others are becoming prohibitively expensive. At the same time we're wasting tremendous amounts of these precious resources. And our wastes pollute our communities, our nation, our world We need to learn to use our resources efficiently and economically and to share them better so that everyone gets a piece of the pie. We need to conserve the raw materials that jobs depend on, because if we deplete our resources now, things will be that much tougher later. We need to put people to work doing things instead of just making things. The things we do make have to save resources instead of wasting them. We can build mass transit instead of freeways, rebuild our cities instead of spawning new suburban sprawl, put people to work cleaning up our environment instead of despoiling it.

FOOD RIOT The Food Riot, a social gathering peculiar to certain technical schools in the United States, derives from the more conventional Bon Voyage or Going Away party. This function is intended to provide a gentle farewell for members of student kitchen staffs. housing It thus combines joyful commemoration with a unique opportunity for improv. ing the local cuisine. If invited as a guest you might want to take, as an appropriate hostess gift, cases of soft fruit, eggs, or other foodstuffs suitable for throwing. Although informal attire is the general rule, formal place settings and fingerbowls should be provided. After the guests have been led into the banquet hall, seated and served, a short invocation maybe delivered. This is followed by the ritual inversion of vessels. Each member of the company present, in the order of his social rank, upsets his plate and allows the contents spread evenly over the table top. This having been lished, affairs accomp- proceed at the individual discretions of the participants. It 1S considered a point of form, however, to aim more at the walls and ceilings than at the floor, since the loose foodstuffs may impair footing. If soup is served, it should be thrown by the ladle-full. Casting soup by the tureen, although a mark of social grace, requires much practice perfect. Beginners should content themselves with hurling small portions of the entree and an occasional side-dish. If you desire a dish at the far end of the table, you should ask that it be passed. If you reach for it, you disrupt the may aim of your table -mates. Paper napkins, if wadded and saturated with iced tea, become ideal projectiles. Heavily buttered dinner roils are also very good. Let your imagination run wild. A complete treatment of the proper approaches to beverages would require several pages. While there are several schools of thought on this subject, most experts agree that iced tea, coffee, should milk, and be chocolate cast by the glassful. Iced water, being more plentiful, may be thrown from the pitcher by friends of the family. The throwing of heavy silver-ware, glasses or goblets, although traditional, is considered gauche by moderns. The move from the banquet hall is signalled by the upset of entire tables. As an optional part of the ceremony, members of the waiting staff may receive ritual ablutions at this point. This fascinating and little understood observance is ended Page Seven HUGO Awards The Dispossessed, Ursula K. Le Guin's story of two worlds, received the Hugo for best novel of 1974 at the World Science Fiction Convention held three months ago in Australia. The novel is the second by LeGuin to win both the Hugo and Nebula awards; The Left Hand of Darkness accomplished the same feat as the best novel of 1969. Harlan Ellison became the first author to garner six Hugos by winning the best novelette category with "Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans." George R. R. Martin's "A Song for Lya" won as best novella. LeGuin's novel was the only duplicate winner this year among the major awards. Her short story "The Day Before the Revolution" also won a Nebula, but the Hugo went to Larry Niven for "The Hole Man"-his fourth. The Mel Brooks comedy, Young Frankenstein, won as best dramatic presentation. Ben Bova was voted best professional editor for the third straight year, and Kelly Freas best professional artist for the fourth. In the fan categories, best fanzine went to The Alien Critic (now, for legal reasons, SF Review). Its editor, Richard E. Geis, won as best fan writer. The best fan artist award went to Bill Rotsler, also a photographer and author. Two special awards were also presented at Aussiecon. Fritz Leiber received the Grand Master of Fantasy (Gandalf) award. The John W. Campbell Award for best new writer went to P.J. Plauger. The ranking of runner-ups was not announced. More on Conventions Due to time and space limitations, I did not mention supporting memberships in the last column. These memberships are for the the purpose of helping convention financially. In return, the member receives the publications-progress reports and program book-of the con, plus the option of converting to an attending membership at a later time. Its advantages work both ways. It allows fans to support a con that they may not be attending, because of distance or other complications. On the other side, the fan can keep informed of the con planning and decide whether or not to attent at a later date. In addition to getting publica-tions, supporting members also receive voting rights. A sup- porting membership 112 a Worldcon allows you to nominate and vote for the Hugo awards. Future sites of annual convention are selected by vote of both the attending and supporting members (usually the voters must also join the convention being voted on). For example, by joining both Mid AmeriCon and the 36th Worldcon, you may vote for the latter's location. If Kansas City and Orlando, Florida have sounded too far away, this is of special interest; the 36th Worldcon (Labor Day weekend, 1978) will be in the western zone of North America, and L.A. is a strong contender. Westercon sites are chosen the same way-the location of the 1978 Westercon will be selected at Westercon 29 next July. See the October 24 issue of the Tech for locations, dates, and mailing addresses of these con-ventions.
