The Letters to the Editors Punching out the Post Office? Last month my fiancee was visiting me here at Tech during her I.A.P. from MIT. While here she heard about the Civil Service Exam for summer jobs. She filled out an application and asked me to mail it. The letter had to be post marked by Friday, Jan. 16. I went down to the outgoing mail slot in my house lounge and placed the letter there Thursday night, Jan. 15. Today (Feb. 25) 1 received a letter from her, part of which contained the following section. "I was pleased to see a letter from the Civil Service in my (mail) box today. Until I opened it, that is. It said that my application was not good any-more, was postmarked after the deadline. would like tO know who the hell is responsible for this goddamn fuckup. You put it in the outgoing mail for me on Thurs. night, now why the fuck wasn't it postmarked on Friday? What do they do with the outgoing mail, sit on it for a few days? Is it a mailman who picks up that mail? I can't believe a mailman would pick up mail and not get it to the post office by midnight for chrissakes! And if student, someone else, is responsible for it, they sure are screwing off. Why, I could have mailed the goddamn myself if I had any idea this would happen. If you find out who is responsible for this, would appreciate your either 1) punching him/her out 2) swearing at him/her at length or 3) at least read them this so they'll know what an asshole they are." In this case my fiancee lost a job (she stood as good a chance of getting one as anybody know), but how illaily have been people irreparably incon- venienced by this lack of ef-l ficiency? I think all the questions that need to be asked have been above. But, I feel I should also mention that my letters seem to at their destinations at random intervals. It sometimes takes five or three days for a letter to get to Boulder, Colo., but other times it takes two days. Like-wise letters to Buffalo, St. Paul, and Cambridge appear to follow a similarly random pattern. If someone will inform me as to where I should direct my next punch, I'll gladly throw it. Sincerely, -Chris Peterson -David Glover 予 * by Ngapuhi As I write this Nixon is in China. On the surface this shouldn't be too surprising. Cer-tainly, we are all entitled to vacation now and then, even Nixon. That he should want to vacation in China is a bit obscure. Peking hasn't been 'known as a hideout for the jet set. Club Med doesn't have a resort at the Great Wall, yet. Personally I perfer to spend my vacations on the beaches of Hawaii or Colorado's slopes. But each to his own. What I do find amusing is the reaction on the part of the press to Nixon's visit. The editorial writers are outraged and incen-sed. For the Eastern liberal establishment it was the opportunity to vent some of the hatred that far antedates Water-gate. The concensus of the invitation was invitat pages was that chin's astonishing failure to grasp the extent of Nixon's disgrace in the United Nixon as a political prisoner?? States.". On the contrary, it is evidence that the Chi ese Welt-anshauung is much riore sophisticated than that of these American commentators. Their outrage reveals their provincial-ism, for the truth of the matter is the rest of the world seen Nixon in a much different light than we do. They have a hard time comprehending that Nixon is in disgrace not so much for his own corruption but rather for obscuring the corruption of overzealous lieutenants. Especially since it has been revealed that previous administrations were guilty of the same sins of which Nixon stands accused. (The stench coming from the ruins of Camelot these days smells as foul ds that which comes off the marshlands of Watergate). If Ford had elected not to pardon Nixon and he had stood trial, how much credibility do you think the U.S. would have had when Moynihan called for release of all political prisoners. Freinkel Answers My letter on the art exhibits in Baxter last term has apparently been misinterpreted by Ms Price. I was not setting myself up an art critic or any kind of authority on art. Instead, my role was analogous to that of the urchin in the story "The Emper- or's New Clothes." This child is the only one naive enough to point out that the emperor is naked. The exhibits I mentioned appeared to be fraudulent put- Dis. Of course, it is possible that I am one of those people who see only flecks of colored paint on canvas instead of a painting, in which case the illusion of senselessness would be due to my own lack of awareness.

However, I do believe that when a work has meaning for the person who created it, this will An opinion is not a critique. be apparent to the viewer, even question of meaning and though the meaning itself may be sense.

Jeffrey Blair believe that you have misunderstood the meaning of the article. At no time did I mean to imply that any member of the Caltech community is guilty of theft. The main purpose of the article was to point that it is very easy for an outsider to come on campus and walk away with several hundred dollars worth of equipment. If Caltech were separated from the rest of the world by a fence there would be no need for locking doors. -Steve Oualline ************ FOREIGN STUDENTS SHIPPING SPECIALISTS OF BAGGAGE AUTOMOBILES HOUSEHOLD ARTICLES COMMERCIAL CARGO AIR • OCEAN • TRUCK Pick Up & Delivery Packing & Crating Insurance Documentation Estimates given without obligation 10% off with Caltech ID ANYWHERE-ANYTIME A REGISTERED AGENCY ForanscarGo a tradition от presi SINCE 197 service in freight. forwarding Martin Lowin Transcargo, Inc 2240 N.

But the foreign policy changes initiated by Nixon especially as regards China have had far-reaching effects and have altered the structure of world power for a long time to come. We no longer consider China as an antagonist trying to establish an Asian empire thus threatening our own interests in that part o the world, but rather as a counter balance to the Soviets in that area of the world. The ramifications of American rap prochement with China was no lost on the Indians, who pushed development of their Bomb. And hopefully China will be a res traint on an Imperialistic Viet nam bent on establishing its own empire in South East Asia. When the history of the world in the 70's is written up I think that Nixon's contributions to the structure of world power politics will be far more imp : tant than the transitory effects of Watergate.

'Page Three The Producers, Take The Money And Run. The Lavender Hill Mob The campus will be inundated with good humor this weekend. Films to be shown in Baxter Lecture Hall are all comedies: The Producers will be presented tonight as the ASCIT flick at 7:30 and 9:30 p.m., and Cinema- *tech screens The Running, Jump ing, and Standing Still Film; Take the Money and Run; and The Lavender Hill Mob; at 7:30 on Saturday night. ASCIT's flick costs a piddling fifty cents for students and guests; Cinematech's admission is one clam for ASCIT or GSC members. Please don't puke on the rug. Comedy is an ancient form of expression, with roots in early Greek literature, or before that the behavior of primates. Its evolution into a cinematic theme or genre has been complex and fruitful, yet its status as a part of the filmic art is not secure in its present development. The films to be seen tonight and tomorrow are products of recent big-studio work, and may be criticized by purists as being of a mainly exploitative nature. They are indeed, for the most part, works based on low-brow appetites and non-classic humorous content. American film comedy has ever been thus. It is inconceivable that a large studio would put money into esoteric humor lacking mass appeal. The present criticism of recent film comedies 1S not directed at their social base or intellectual stance, but rather at their execution in the terms of filmic languge and cinematography. For example, The Producers is ripe with juicy humor, mostly ethno-Jewish, but the technical quality is lacking, as if the genre of film comedy was totally isolated from the eighty-year evolution of tech-nique. This film has a poor sense of composition; the camera does not capture scenes in proportior to their meaning. Indeed, the overly enthusiastic use of close up shots turns the performanc of Zero Mostel, portraying : gross, venal producer, into al extremely repellent visual slap Maybe that's intentional Th Producers was Mel Brooks' firs try at direction;his previou experiences in technical worl were minimal, though his creativi Continued on Page Four Rock on Rock Verily, 'tis better to forgive Famous Charisma Label. and forget.

After liscussions between Jim Backus ind the UCLA table tennis club's resident the time and place for he match were set. The match was to be held at the Alpine Recreation Center in Chinatown it 12 noon on the 22nd (last Sunday). With this start, Jacob No set about to recruit a table tennis team for Caltech. Mean- while Backus was busy arranging transportation for the team and whatever spectators there were. The Caltech team, assuming they would tace very stiff competi- tion, did some practicing, including a visit the local table tennis facility. On the appointed day the Caltech team (consisting of two man squads made up of grads and 8 undergraduates) plus 1 photographer, and no spec- tators, set off for the Alpine Recreation Center. Upon arriving there, they met the Chinatown Table Tennis Club, but saw no sign of the UCLA Table Tennis Club aside from a few people who happened to be members of both clubs. These UCLA Club Celluloid flood Continued from Page Three talents flowered in such efforts as Sid Caesar's Show of Shows and the infamous Get Smart. Take the Money and Run was also Woody Allen's first movie direction effort, and certainly its technical execution suffers in comparison to later works. But the comedy-going public is not really interested in technique, for, in funny films, the fun is the thing. in table tennis members claimed that the match had been postponed. After a call to UCLA it was revealed that the UCLA TT Club manager had tried to call Jim Backus the night before (Saturday night?) to ar- new conditions for the match, but had not reached him.

Woody named Virgil, whose life story presented, initially, in the form of a quasi-documentary. Allen's humor is reliant upon sight gags as well as the self-deprecatory comedic jabs and cuts which characters. This film is said to be superior to more recent works, but that is on the basis of response to varietal subject matter. Comedy by the female lead (Janet Margolin) is superior to much of the later work which Diane Keaton has done as Allen's favorite leading form is a curio of a film comedy, scheduled for this showing because its content is also a bank robbery, in order to complement Woody Allen's work. Alec Guinness played the lead with much talent and a sense of character-ization; this film drew attention to his acting ability and marked him for better work.
