Nominees must be current ASCIT members. • All nominations must be in writing, addressed to the ASCIT Secretary (Kathy Hayashibara), and signed by the nominee. They should be sent to the Dean's office, 102 Parsons-Gates. Statements should appear in the California Tech of the 23rd (and so should be submitted by Tuesday the 20th), and the elections will be held on Monday, January 26th. • For more information about the offices, consult the little t or talk to Clea Bures (President) or David Bruning (Treasurer).

"The evidence from the optical spectra also suggests that the ultraluminous IRAS galaxies are undergoing a 'housecleaning' pro-cess, in which the intense luminosity of the energy source has started to disperse obscuring dust Our data indicate that as this process continues, the infrared galaxies wili begin to display the properties of optically brilliant quasars." The astronomers involved in the project are David Sanders, B. Thomas Soifer, Gerry Neugebauer, Nicholas Z. Scoville, Jonathan Keith Elias, Barry and Madore, Matthews, Anneila Sargent, all of Caltech, and Judith Young of the University of Massachusetts. Their research was conducted at Palomar Observatory, Owens Valley Radio Observatory, Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory, the National Radio Astronomy Observatory, and the Caltech Infrared Processing and Analysis Center. The astronomers' work was supported by NASA and the National Science Foundation.

As this disk orbits the star it may begin to coalesce, leading to the formation of planets.

Certain groups, such as the parents and the staff, have been judged to hold beliefs that I do not feel that they actually do hold. of the For instance, administration have portrayed parents as dismayed with the idea of their children living in a dorm adorned with graf-fiti. I have talked to visiting parents who have liked the graffiti very much. If you (parents, or staff, or anyone) have an opinion, please write either to the Tech or directly administration.

Please note, for all expressed below, backup information is available. * Salaried personnel who are non-exempt -working for as low as $2.80 an hour due to extended hours. Salaried for 40 hours, generally working 70 hours per week. Some non-Anglo employees have worked 36-hour shifts with short meal breaks only. (Employees pay for their meals.) @ Dishwashers (for example) hired at $100 per 40-hour week. Actually work 50 hours a week, or $2.00 per hour. ® Senior employees, 60 years plus, working up to 60 hours a week, compensated for 40 hours paid time. * Hourly employees - which encompasses most of Continental personnel, full and part-time- are asked to clock out at scheduled time, then return to their work.

Several of these persons have worked, providing food service for Caltech students, staff and faculty for 15-23 years. In brief, Mr. Hindoyan is able to provide the Caltech community an adequate food service at a below average Cost because Of employment practices, which in- clude his concept of individual rights vs. profits and his overall guiding philosophy that the dollar is better than God.

I also deeply believe the Chandler family who dedicated funds for this central food service area, which provides all the Caltech community's food needs, would be unhappy with existing conditions.

No treatment for the basic problem-that of the HIV infection itself with the destruction of the T4 cells - existed. In mid-1986, researchers at the National Institutes of Health revealed the results of a nationwide double-blind study of aziod- thymidine (AZT), a drug which had beneficial effects in a group of 145 patients. When compared to placebo given to a matched group of the same size, AZT ultimately led to many fewer deaths over approximately six months. When this effect was realized, all patients in the double-blind study (including those who had been on placebo) were administered the drug. AZT is thought to work by "tricking" the virus into "thinking" it is taking on another nucleic acid for its genetic chain; but when it takes on the AZT instead it is unable to replicate further. Researchers have been careful to point out that AZT is not a cure for AIDS; it may slow or stop the progress of the disease, but it does not rid the body of the virus, and nobody knows yet what long-term effects may derive from use of the medication. In the short run a major side-effect noted in 25% of those on AZT had been bone marrow suppression leading to severe anemia, and many on the drug have had to receive blood transfusions. Prior to AZT there were studies with several other antiviral and/or immune boosting most notably the drugs suramin and in-terferon. Neither of these was seen l De particularly helpful, and suramin, in fact, appeared to cause patients to become sicker faster. Currently under investigation at the National Institutes of Health is another anti-viral agent, dideox-ycytidine, which is similar to AZT in concept. This drug has performed better against the HIV in vitro, but its effects in humans are yet to be established. Also under in- vestigation here and in Europe is the drug foscarnet, manufactured which 1S Sweden; evidence of its usefulness with the HIV is yet available. Available in Mexico are two agents which are used worldwide for treating minor viral illnesses, isoprinosine and ribavirin. Many AIDS, ARC and HIV-positive individuals have been obtaining these medications and self- administering, but no hard data are yet available regarding the effectiveness of either drug; a study of ribavirin at USC medical center is complete, but the decoding of the double-blind phase and the reporting of data have yet to be done. There various other substances being examined various centers around the country, but no dramatic have yet been made regarding any of these. Thus far only AZT ap- nave significant penefit in the treatment of this clinical phenomenon. Very possibly what may result from all these studies is a substance or set of substances which keep the virus in check but do not eliminate similar to the treatment of Hansen's Disease (leprosy). Virology very young science, and anti-viral medication research is an even younger field. A vaccine to protect against HIV infection does not appear to be in the offing, though some work is being at the NIH on the molecular structure of the envelope which surrounds the virus. One hope is that by finding a protein which can imitate that critical portion of the envelope which determines antibody response, a vaccine can be developed. There is also interest in several viruses which are closely related molecularly to the HIV and which may generate cross-immunity to the HIV while being non-toxic themselves. A topic that has received little formal attention from the medical scientific community is the impact of psychological factors on the progress of the overall disease; with all serious illnesses which have a high mortality rate, that rate never reaches 100%. Why some people manage to "beat the odds" is not easily explicable, but attitudinal factors almost certainly are important in the process. Only time will tell how much these factors play a role. Conclusions It is no exaggeration to state that AIDS is the "disease of the century." It is deadly and up to now has been very Trachols. Its Mysteriousiless and perhaps the fact that it has primarily afflicted a controversial if not outright unpopular minority group — male homosexuals-have led to poor funding of research and clinical work. However the rapid spread of the illness with its depletion of great human resources around the world, as well as its spread into the heterosexual population, have brought much more attention from those in power; the U.S. Office of Management and Budget has just announced it is asking for another significant increase in funding for research in 1987-1988. In any case this illness deserves the serious attention of all members of society that further spread may be prevented.

This. this Ghost of Dabney Yet to Come was hideous. Three- piece suit, DabniCorp identipin, and polished black shoes, he embodied Daryl's deepeset fear - the intrusion of the real world.

The Ghost said nothing, but took a business card from its breast pocket and handed it to Ingers. Daryl gasped and clutched at it. Rather a seedy-looking card, he thought to himself, as he read the words "Revolutions, Inc. - We Export To All Major Third-World Countries. "What?" he murmured. He looked up-and the Spirit was gone. "You mean that's it? What an awful ending. Fleming: Well, well, well, back so soon. I must say, however, that I wasn't really settled in until we had our first room pick of the New Year.

Fleming is definitely the team to beat this year in Interhouse Ultimate, but that doesn't mean we don't need practice. So let's get out there and toss those Frisbees. Hup! Hup! Hup! New Year's Resolution: No more abusing the frosh. No problem. I mean, the six man lift really isn't abuse, is it? Har, har, har! Lloyd: This is a test of the Emergency Inside World Broadcasting System. Jethro and Enos are workin' in the fields, so I gotta do this by myself. For god's sake, it's only a test! Remember that real popular segment, the Drink of the Week? Well, it was so popular, Theron Stanford created his own Joke of the Day. It's funny. And I thought the average Drink of the Week Curt's birthday was sometime last week. He almost forgot it. Cathy reminded him in a subtle, yet understated, way. Get psyched for the ski trip this weekend. Learn how to ski on the most dangerous slopes in North America. Oh yeah, about the ski trip. While I was writing this, Lloyd President Chris Nolle walked in. "Don't forget to mention the wet T-shirt contest Saturday," he said. Well, I'm not sure if this comment was sexist or merely medically unsound, but I printed it anyway. Drink of the Week is the Bill Cosby. Make some Jello™ according to the directions on the box, except use Everclear instead of water. It's great to give to the kids when they have the flu. So here we all are at Caltech during second term! Yee haw! But seriously, folks, we've gotten through the first week of the term unscathed. We completed room pick on Wednesday and the results are: Katryn and Mitch moved off campus so Danny and Gonzo took the rooms in Snatch, leaving a very happy Charles in 17 as a single. Jed moved on (Welcome back, Jed!), as did Samer and James. Also on Wednesday we had Gonzo showered - partly because he didn't bring the gong to dinner and partly so that the closet wouldn't get the "mysterious smell of room 17. Last night, the house meeting gave us "Loops!" and the social calen-dar. We also talked about what colors to paint the alleys. I still think Cherry ought to be red! Beware, frosh, initiations are coming!! Shithead #1 & Giggles Ruddock: Aloha! Happy New Year! Have a good summer...? I wish! Welcome to gradeland, Sophomores - where a C- is the grade of choice and TRASHING is only minor GPA points away -But let's all be happy people. Wayne is back with a shiny new harmonica, Milton needs to shave and the Alley 5 beautification project is now complete. Don't order pizza to a room in Alley 1 'cause they don't teach binary at Monk's. Alley 2 beautification is coming soon - we're talking music, not science, so no droptics comments about the Pink Floyd album cover are allowed. Stay tuned for Siouxie, the Clash, and -just for Ed -Michael Jordan. The house ski trip is this weekend so get ready to crash into bunches of bunnies at Big Bear. Don't break any legs, though, since YOU are wanted at Disco football Sunday afternoon vs. Blacker. Eddieee - Stock the Beer Fridge! Rudds-Pay your bar bills! - Bets the flame!
