The string of events known collectively as "Frosh Camp" began at 6:00 on the morning of the twenty-second. At this time the freshman class and their over-seers gathered upon the Atheneum lawn to consume a bit of breakfast and some dramamine before their voyage over land and sea to Catalina island. This grand trek by bus and by boat having been completed, the campers found themselves confronted with their new home, the rustic Camp Fox. In between basking in the cool waters of the near-by ocean and hiking over and around the surrounding hills, the new freshmen found themselves presented with three programs aimed at anticipating and answering their questions about their new life at college. The subjects dealt with thereby included the nature and application of the Honor Code, the common social problems encountered at Caltech, and the rising danger presented by AIDS and the methods of avoiding it. In addition to being presented with images and ideas, the campers were them- Following upon this prodigious display of scientific merit was the slightly less inspiring, yet equally entertaining phenomenon known as the "talent show". It was here that the incoming class was presented for the first time with their alma-matter and with the true level of craziness of their fellow students. Alternating between the classical strains of Beethoven's "Moon-light" sonata, juggling acts, and comic the-ater, the show was a true embodiment of the diverse natures and personalities of the CONTINUED ON PAGE 9 New group: Getting into treble New Rotation Rules The Rotation Rules listed in the little t are not correct. The new official ones were handed down by the IC and are printed in their full gory detail on pages 7 and 8. For those of you already familar with the Rules, here is the text of the two additions. These changes were made in an attempt to clarify the Rotation Rules. For more information or to register your opinion, please talk with your house president or IHC Chair Lori Hsu. Change 1 Note: Driving freshman beyond walking distance is determined to be extradinary and is prohibited. Walking distance is determined by IHC to be anywhere less than the distance from Campus to the far border of Old Pasadena. To avoid confusion, accompanying freshman on excursions to places beyond Old Pasadena is also prohibited. Change 2 Freshman are not to seek information about picks. Procedures should be treated with the same secrecy as a closed book exam. BY TECH STAFF Even with a door closed, twenty-some girls can make a lot of noise. The Treble Makers is Caltech's newest women's a capella group. They will be performing a free, informal concert this Sunday evening in Dabney Lounge at 7:30 PM. Formed early this summer by Theresa Lynn, a graduate student in physics, they sing mostly contemporary music often arranged by its mem-bers. Composed mainly of women already involved with other Caltech performing arts groups, the Treble Makers offers its members a refreshing, relaxed small group setting for singing. Although mirth and mer- riment echo musically The Treble Makers, Caltech's newest a capella group. (yes, there are women here) through the hallways in the Student Activities Center (SAC) as often as singing when the Treble Makers meet for practice, the group is serious enough that challenging material can be worked through, with the accomplished members assisting the novices. Members of the group are interested in singing more challenging selections that range from classical to popular. The Treble Makers are a diverse group, drawing from many segments of the Caltech commu-nity. Undergrads, Caltech Staff, JPL employees, and graduate students all participate. Clara Chan, a JPL software engineer for NASA's Deep Space Net-work, designed the Treble makers logo. ITS computer analyst Carolyn Gray has managed performance venues. Patricia Wrean created the attire for the Treble Makers' upcoming concert. The Treble Makers premiered earlier this summer at the home of Margaret Lam-bert. This concert included a farewell to founding member Lila Guterman as she has left Caltech and the LA area for graduate work at UC Santa Cruz. The concert will be held this Sunday (October 28) in Dabney Lounge with light desserts afterward. Anyone wishing to join the Treble Makers can look at their web page (http:// www.cco.caltech.edu/ ~treble) for the next rehearsal time, or email theresa@cco or tickel@cco.

I just got through reading the handy guide to shops, restau-rants, etc in the Pasadena area. You listed lots of good bookstores, but you failed to mention Alexandria II on Lake near the Starbucks. It's a New Age (the term's meaning can be fugitive I know, but you get the general idea.) bookstore. In addition to books they have lots of eclectic music which can be not only interesting from an intellectual point of view, but also soothing and spiritually uplifting as well. There is also a wide range of videos to rent covering the gamut from ancient civilizations to self-help to UFO's with everything in between. To top it off there is a great array of gifts and accessories, such as crystals and incense and colorful tchotchkes to turn your home into the Temple of Atlantis.

ALAN ROSENSTEIN BEHAVIOURAL BIOLOGY Dear Editors: It rarely surprises me when TV and newspaper reporters completely mangle a science story. I had hoped, however, that Caltech reporters would be capable of getting a few simple facts straight. Mars Pathfinder has been at Mars (on the surface) since July 4th. It has made numerous discoveries, none of which has been a magneticfield! Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) arrived at Mars on September 11th and oneof its first discoveries was a magnetic field around Mars. Please get your spacecraft straight. I wouldn't mind so much, except that some of us here at Caltech have worked on the MGS spacecraft and we would like to see credit given where credit is due. Thanks! ANONYMOUS CALTECH We apologize for the error. We should have checked the source more closely, especially since it's in our own journalist backyard. —eds we're here for you! Cheap tickets.

For those of you who have not read this section in the past, I am not President Clinton's most ardent fan. However, by not giving in to international pressure or to the pain he must have felt due to Diana's death, he has done the people of Korea, our men in uni-form, and possibly innocent civilians everywhere a great ser-vice. In general, land mines are not for the greater good. Thousands have been killed and maimed in places such as Uganda due to land mines, especially anti-personnel mines. And yes, the world would be a better place if land mines were not sold in the middle of civil wars and insurrections. How- ever, this is not the case on the heavily armed, highly tense Korean peninsula. The Korean peninsula was the main reason that Clinton held out against the Land Mine Treaty. For better or for worse, land mines are an instrumental part of our defense in Korea Due to the fact that North Korea has one of the largest armies (in terms of manpower), the sad truth is without anti-tank and anti-personnel mines the North Korean Army could easily invade Seoul before America could react, and possibly take rea into a very bloody business (India, Russia,and China being as North Korea digs in, hoping some of them), the treaty has America's will breaks before very little authority on countries their defensive lines do. who produce or use land mines.

Shipping has been disrupted, schools have closed, and many are suffering health problems due to the smoke. The fires are due to illegal slash and burn land clearing by hundreds of Indonesian and Malaysian companies.

So I was going to write about President-elect Baltimore's Fly Fishing Curriculum, and Vice President Lorden's Piano Playing, the four voice rendition of the Alma Mater led by Don Caldwell and the House skits, the soulful ballad sung by Myfanwy, the wonderful talents discovered among the Frosh, the indomitable Brett Tolman's one armed feats, the M.E. battles and the battles of the hawk (osprey says Brennan) and the crows. The problem is I could not write, partly because of the bad influence of the god of procras-tination, partly because of my physiology. I just plumb fell asleep when I got home. You know, all that fresh air and ex-citement, combined with the fact that we got back to Cam- pus late, but ahead of the rain nevertheless. So I am dashing this off in extre-mis, just before the paper has to go to press. It was great to see all of you Frosh and meet some per-sonally. I have a good feeling about you. It is probably silly, but each year I form an impression of the incoming students as a group, thinking one can divine a class psyche, at-titude, when you have barely arrived, and I barely know you, but I guess it fulfills the human mind's desire to clas-sify. It is going to be a great class, this first class to graduate in the new millennium. We did have some real scares at camp though. Particularly when 3 students decided to go on a hike of their own, continuing the Geology walk by themselves. They thought no one would mind. But this was agross error, we do care. You are of great concern to us. Professor Stevenson, who led the walk, was most upset, and hurriedly re- traced his route to no avail when he became aware of what had hap-pened. While you are young, tough, healthy young people, lots of things can happen even to ones like you. A twisted knee or ankle or even some misplaced cactus spines can incapacitate someone pretty fast. The stories about boar and buffalo on the island are no joke. They own the place, along with the goats and the rattle snakes. Spending the night without blanket, maybe without water... We did not know if the hikers had any or food, after all it was to be only a short "hike" along the shore. If lack of supplies could be most unpleasant, walking in the steep and nearly pathless terrain, part of which is pretty unstable, on a night without moon, foolish if not impos-sible. Most of the trails are goat tracks and caprines can go where no human should tread. However much fun the idea must have sounded or felt like at the time, it was not well considered and could have had serious consequences. Telling anyone of your intentions would not lessen the danger YOU DEMAND POWER, SPEED, AND MOBILITY. $300 cash back* Power Macintost 6500/225 32n00 12nco munde ocan 1sAye up Onive rnemerkad $200 cash back* tweenantos X.00/200 322GB/2XCD/Mutiple Scan 15AV(not as pictured) L2/Ethemet/Zp Drive/Video In/Out/Kbd $100 cash back* got it yet?

The California Tech but would facilitate a search. As it is we could only guess at what happened. We retraced the excursion's steps, took a look at the tide pools for floating bodies, follow the shore by boat, and all there was to see was a siren, a gorgeous tan sea lioness, with big black soulful eyes warming herself among the gulls and pelicans on a guano whitewashed rock. I administered the Math placement test to it, and that provided conclusive evidence that this was no transmogrified Caltecher. Still I worried about her having sung her song and attracted the students to a watery end, but no, there was no evidence of that, either. I used my Megaphone and a whistle and scrutinized the hillside for anything that could be a signal, and there was nothing, not a sign of anyone. Just nature and laughing crows and the crash of surf on the rocks and the swooping silent glide of the pelicans trying to surprise schools of minnows. One lady on a yacht called to us but she had seen no one, one person on another yacht quickly dove through the hatch when we came near, wonder what he had to hide.... Oh well... We worried; several approaches were proposed; several fast climbers like Don Caldwell and Chris Brennan and some of the camp staff started up the hill, we had to make a head count of everyone in camp to figure out whether anyone was really lost and just as we got to the point of knowing who they were, here three gesticulating sticks appeared at the top of the hill picking their way through the brush. Remember please, we do care and we really need to know about it if you do something of the sort. Being mature means knowing where personal independence has to yield to the group's (society's) needs. Being mature does not mean that there are no more rules to follow, although we all think so when we are small. It means behaving in a way that will not selfishly cause unnecessary anxiety and problems to others (hmmmm the honor code raising its head?). And if that's true for an unannounced hike, it is also true for smaller less physically dangerous enterprises. It is true for nearly everything. The spread of AIDS has a lot to do with selfish carelessness. Interpersonal problems have a lot to do with selfish attitudes. The more you look the more you find that every one of us has similar needs but also in-hibitions, problems and admitting our needs and talking about them and expressing our fears and worries. Those of us who pooh pooh it all may well be the most affected of all; they are so afraid to admit they are frail humans that they hide it by acting like superwoman or superman. So may this be the best year of growth and satisfaction for you... Welcome to Caltech.

September 26, 1997 Hey Frosh! Here are more people you need to know. Frosh, here are the members of the Interhouse Committee (sans the Secre-tary). The IC coordinates things like Rotation and other events like Inter-house sports and Discobolus. Why do these people matter? Well, while you are Rotating though the seven fine houses you'll be more enamored with some of them than others. If you really really like a house, it's a good idea to let the House President know your feelings. We have put them on cards for you so that you can easily identify them. In addition we have also included Lori Hsu. She is the chair of the IC and any questions regarding Rotation, Rotation Rules, and related matters should be directed to her. When next Saturday comes around you will be asked to rank the seven houses by the RA of the house you are currently I living in. Remember, you can't be picked into a house you don't rank. Even if you are a transfer student, please go to all the houses and at least pick up your nametag or talk with the House President or Sec-retary. It's a good idea to talk with lots of different people from a House. Houses are not homogenous and include many i different personalities. Don't let one i person turn you off an entire house. 5 Name: Lori Hsu Purpose: Chair, Interhouse Committee Name: Jon (Marty) Allen Purpose: Blacker House President BoC Talks...

This information will be given to each House president and shall be made available only to the House rotation chairmen. The Houses are not required to follow the rankings submitted by each student, except that no House may choose a student that did not rank it. Students living off-campus or in the Annex must give their list of Houses to the R.A. of the House which they visit on Saturday of Rotation week. Students will be picked by any one of the Houses if they do not submit a House preference list. On rare occasions, in order to insure that all on-campus rooms are filled, it may be necessary to select students who will be removed from the rotation pick and assigned housing New students who state to the Director of Residence Life that they do not wish to participate in Rotation will not be selected by any House, but are still given Institute housing 5. By 5:00 p.m. on Saturday of Rotation week, the IHC Chairman and the seven House presidents will have a list of the House preferences of each new student. They will make themselves available at this time to correct any mistakes in the list. It is the responsibility of the student to verify that the list contains his or her actual choices. A student who is listed as a no-show may try to straighten out the situation with the IC chairman, who will have a list of each Houses' no-shows. At 7:00 p.m. the IHC will meet to verify changes, and all choices will be considered accurate when the meeting adjourns. New students may only check to see that their The California Tech choices have been accurately recorded, and no other students (other than members of the IC) will be given access to the list until after 7:00 p.m. 6. Selection of new students will take place at a closed meeting of the Director of Residence Life, the Master of Student Houses, the Interhouse Committee Chairman and Secretary, the seven House Presidents, and four Rotation chairmen from each House. The R.A.s may attend the meeting as guests of the Director of Residence Life. This meeting will occur on the Sunday immediately following Rotation week. (Pick procedure omitted at IC's re-quest.] III. Regulations 1. Rotation rules are in effect for any contact with new students from their initial acceptance to Caltech (including before they matriculate) until their submitted ranking lists are considered accurate (as stipulated at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday of Rotation week). 2. Throughout these rules, the term House refers to both the organization as a whole and any of its members. 3. New students are specifically prohibited from unfairly biasing other new students toward or against a House. 4. Houses are specifically authorized to do the following during rota-tion: a. have receptions after dinner b. serve refreshments at these receptions c. prohibit those who are not current House members from attending these receptions d. have open presentations anywhere on campus e. publish and distribute informational literature which is inexpen-sively reproduced a the ASCIT Movies THE FIFTH ELEMENT ОСТ. 10 RESERVOIR DOG NOV. 7 Friday Nights 7:30 and 10 PM Baxter Lecture Hall $2.00 ASCIT Members &2.50 Others City of Lost Children ост. 17 MEANING LIFE ОСТ. 24 ENE SWING ост. 31 HAMLE NOV. 14 And the Best of Aardman Animation NOV. 21 NORTH DAKOTA DEC. 5 f. accompany new students to any place open to the public, if no extraordinary services are provided.

(Note: there is no gag rule. Individuals are not prohibited from speaking about a House of which they are not a mem-ber. However, individuals are advised to take care in what they say, as they may be misinformed.) 6. Aside from the specifically authorized activities, Houses may do anything approved by the IC in advance of the act 5. Houses are specifically prohibited from doing the following during rotation: a. making a trophy or alley challenge b. publishing a social calendar or relating in any fashion future social events c. organizing and sponsoring a social event d.attending a reception of a House of which you are not a member without the permission of that Houses president e. discussing with new students anything at all to do with picking strategies, future new student picks, or past new student picks Freshman are not to seek information about picks.

Keep in mind that successful proposals generally have a topic of study or investigation that reflects a student's well-developed interest in that area (samples available in our office). Students should discuss the study plan and indicate how you will carry out the project, what skills you have that will enable you to undertake such a project, how it fits in with your longer term plans, and why this project is important to you. The Watson Foundation provides fellowships of $18,000 for a year of independent study and travel after graduation. The Watson is designed to encourage an informal break in the normal sequence of undergradu-ate-postgraduate education and is a marvelous opportunity to travel outside of North America.

These skits, presented with the intent to display to some degree the nature of each individual house, were all received in the merriest of fashions. To use the language of the vulgate, it was "ten pounds of fun in a five pound bag." The climax of all of these activities came upon the last night wherein all were exposed to the occasionally harmless, ocassionally frightening sight of a large body of scientists dancing (the idea being the important thing, and not necessarily the execution thereof). The music and festivities continued on into the early morning, to the annoyance of the few who were attempting to catch a few winks of sleep before embarking upon their Caltech career. And thus it was that Frosh Camp, in all of its glory, came to a close. Granted, there were grumblings about the quality of the so-called "food" and the nature of the male housing. Granted, the showers did show a marked inclination to give up the ghost. Yet, the desired effect was nonetheless produced. These freshmen set foot upon the island as naught but a collection of individuals. They left it as a cohesive unit confident in their future, a class; the class of 2001. May its name ever resound and echo in the annals of history! BY ADAM VILLANI Conspirators of Pleasure With Conspirators of Plea-sure, Czech master surrealist Jan Svankmajer has created both his most accessible and his most artistically successful feature film to date. Conspirators follows six Prague residents as they follow bizarre, elaborate schemes of fantasy and self-gratification. Without giving too much away, it will suffice to say that turkeys, rolling pins, umbrellas, fish, dum-mies, and a bowl full of balls of mashed-up bread are all in-volved. Svankmajer began his career as a puppeteer and animator before moving to live- action films, and his characters often act more like extremely life-like puppets than flesh-and-blood humans. The interesting thing is that, in the tradition of Franz Kafka and Robert Walser, the mechanical lifelessness of life is very much the point. Conspirators of Plea sure is playing for one week only at Landmark's Port theatre in Corona Del Mar, which recently switched to a Nuart-like schedule of innovative programming A deliciously perverse short film of Little Red Riding Hood starring Christina Ricci and narrated by Quentin Crisp opens the show.
