This year's question, as formally stated, is: "Resolved: that the United States should extend diplomatic recognition to the Communist government CALIFORNIA TECH To our visitors Frankly, high school students, Caltech is showing off to you, and we hope you like it. We hope you're impressed when men like Dr. Beadle, next president of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, chats with you on biology, when Dr. Feynman, prize-winning theoretical physicist, entertains molecules, or when numerous other lecturers display the won- We've lined up our top talent, and dusted off the scientific showpieces with the most chromium, Enjoy the show, and soak up all the glamor of these great men, but as you do so, realize that love for science and respect for Caltech lies deeper than a fascination for moving gears.

The calm progress of college forensies came to a screeching halt last month, when debaters learned of the following de- At West Point and Annapolis, debaters were forbidden to debate the question; military men should not speak on foreign policy. In the Midwest, a youth wrote his Congressman for source material. He got no material at all-except for a sizzling letter which expressed the hope that no red-blooded American boy would think of debating the affirmative side of the question. Another congressman in the East wrote home for a list for the FBI files of those who had been debating affirmative, and of those authorities whose quotations were being used to support the afirmative. No time for complacency In general, the debate program has proceeded undsturbed. It is our hope that the American public is very disturbed. The point of view represented by the West Point admin-istration and by the two congressmen is intolerable. It is ignor-ant, prejudiced, and undemocratic. It is completely contrary to the philosophy behind the Bill of Rights, which is an appendix to our Constitution which some ancestors of ours felt was essential to safeguard personal liberties. It is ignorant and prejudiced because it overlooks the fact that the great majority of affirmative arguments are based on a cold hard-headed practical evaluation of the American posi-tion in the cold war. The point of view is undemocratic in a painfully obvious way. It proposes to prohibit any kind of controversial ques-tion. It aspires to prevent American citizens from advocating any other foreign policy than the present administration doc- Certainly there are limits which must be placed on the But by no stretch of the imagina- tion can advocacy of recognition of Red China be interpreted as falling outside any fair limits. there is no clear and present danger to the government of the Unitd States which emanantes from a free discussion of the The proponents of recognition do not intend to weaken the U.S., but to strengthen it. minority seem to agree cannot be used as grounds for stifing free discussion of the question. If the gentlemen behind the decisions at West Point and Annapolis and the two congressmen could have their way, Winston Churchill and the entire Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Great Britain would be listed as enemies of the American people-for Britain is one of a dozen non-Communist countries which has recognized Red China. way, every college graduate who ever debated the "wrong" side of a controversial topic would have his security clearance We are afraid of people like the two congressmen. would like to retain the privilege of writing strongly-worded editorials on controversial subjects. Maybe every name on our editorial staff will be marked down somewhere in some vigilante's files. Gentlemen, we do not advocate violent overthrow of the Republican administra-tion, much less of the American government. We do not even advocate turning over all our military and technological secrets to the Russians. We know that our forefathers intended to preserve for us the right to speak ou rminds on controversial issues, as long as law and order are secure. We side with them. "We'd like to take you upstairs and show you the real gracious-ness of Caltech life, but it's sort of a rule around here to wait till you're admitted." Athanaeum parking "When it rains, it pours." At least so it seems concerning the parking situation at Tech. Our campus has been swamped with cars for some time, but this seems to be the year of the Last year, before the construction of the new Church bio-chemistry laboratory, most of the faculty members, Institute employees, Athenaeum members, graduate students, seniors and juniors who wanted assigned parking spaces, had them But when the beginning of construction wiped out a whole parking lot, some people found they had to walk farther each day than they had had to before, and juniors this year have found that there are not enough assigned places left for them. Some of those who had no places assigned and who wanted to park closer to the houses than Tournament Park began to Irate Athenaeum members who then found that they had no place to park in their own lot started a wave of protest that culminated in the announcement in the houses on November 10 that the Athenaeum parking rules henceforth would be rigidly enforced and students park-ing there could expect to receive tickets. Although long-term parking in the Athenaeum lot has al-ways been taboo, the fact that in the past students' cars parked there for only an hour or so have been overlooked has led many to believe this their privilege. is set aside for Athenaeum members and their guests for park-ing not to exceed three hours, and the lot at the corner of Hill and California is for permanently assigned parking for (The reserved spaces near Blacker are for seniors). Since the Athenaeum is a semi-private organiza-tion and the lots are theirs, they have every right to enforce this rule to the letter, regardless of the hardships it may work on Thursday, December 2, 1954 Campus Brewins "A Woman is a dish for the gods.." The reporting of the comings and goings of Techmen, as re corded by the everfaithful Beak in his wanderings about campus with a notebook and an eaves-dropping ear, has become a tra-dition in this newspaper which from time to time needs to be justified. As one dear departed editor once put it, "We print the only college newspaper with high school gossip column." To compare this column with a high school gossip column is certati-ly an insult to high school gos-sip columns. But really, "Cam- pus Brewins" simply tries tell what has been brewed on campus recently, and serves as a general recorder of hard luck stortes, tales of crue hearted wolich. and miscellaneous ob- servations. Mammoth story A few of the Rowdies enjoyed Thanksgiving at Mammoth Quoting Bob Gelber: The women were terrible. Dick Jali pulled® the big booboo of the trip as his "Mammoth jinx" worked for the second year in a row. At the beginning of the trip Rats A. Johnson told the troops not to forget anything. Jali laughed aloud at the childish advice, but upon unpacking at the trip's end he discovered ... Beak's note: Don't go to Mammoth unless you bring your skis. The frosh Phoenix group at the northeast house had, been getting along grandly during the first term. Ironically, however, along with Thanksgiving came a couple of "Dear John" letters from the Phoenix contingent of faithful women Curiously enough, Van Kirk and Mitchell now have "I hate women" signs on their doors. A surprise incidental item: C. did homework over Thanksgiving. Bogdonavic is at last begin- ning to feel that older girls are the best dates. Last year Luke was the main exponent of taking 14-year-old women out, but we guess being a football player has changed his outlook. At Mam- moth the "kid" was actually seen with a 15-year-old. Well, we all have to grow up some time. "Woman—a dish for the gods!" •A noble: thought, though we aren't in the habit of thinking noble thoughts.

If the situa- tion does not improve, Officer Newton may have to be sta-tioned there at odd hours to give offenders tickets; this would represent an extra ex-pense to the Institute. It is too early to tell yet Whether students are cooperat-ing as a result of the announce-ment; at least there has not been a serious wave of com-plaints in the past week. About fifty more spaces near the houses will be available for students when Church lab is completed, but aside from this there is no immediate relief in sight. It just looks like we're going to be getting PE more than three times a week for a while.

For the lecture, a quantity of liquid oxygen and liquid nitro-gen, requisitioned from the physics department, will be used to cool different objects of temperatures in the neighborhood of 200 degrees below zero Centigrade. The unusual properties of these obiects at such low temperatures will then be demonstrated.

Tech fielded a good frosh football team and IF those Buys are sull around next year to help out there is no reason why we can't have a good sea-son. At least we can hope. Hard on the end of the football season comes the basketball sea-son. Basketball is one sport in which Tech fields a good team and this year we will be in the thick of the fight for the championship again. The team last year had good crowd support and the advent of the new sym should build up spirit to a new peak. The first game of the league season is a week from tomorrow at 4:15 p.m. at the P.C.C. gym and admission is free. For the uninitiated, there have THERE IN SPORTS been two significant rule changes this year. The first concerns free throws. This year on the so-called one-shot fouls the shooter will receive one free throw. If he makes it he will be award. ed another one; if he misses, the ball will be in play. Fouls com- mitted on a man "in the act of shooting" will call for the usual two shots with no strings at- tached. The second rule change is that games will Consist or two twenty minute halves instead of the previous four ten minute quarters. This last is a plug for the fall sports banquet. Go to it!

Bruce Webb again won for Pasadena, but then came Lewis, Crowther, and Witteborn to sew up Tech's win. The Pomona meet was the big one, and Tech calle through with a decisive 21-35 score over the Sagehens. The meet was run on Mt. San Antonio's fine 2.7 mile course and turned out to be 110 contest.

It was a wild and woolly contest as LaVerne piled up six touchdowns before Tech could get a point on the scoreboard and then the Beavers came back with a closing rush which netted them 26 points in the final quarter, but still left them shy of victory.

The Beavers took the kickoff on their own 44 and scored 11 eight plays with John Lukesh going the final seven. Lukesh also turned in a 24 yard jaunt during the drive.

Caltech drew first blood when Steve Mak crossed the ball in front of the goal and Sedat Ser-dengecti pounded it in. The team could not connect for any more and the slim 1-0 lead stood until halftime.

In addition to these there are three men from last year's team who did not earn a letter, PAUL LINDFORS, DAN CHILTON, and GENE NELSON. Nelson and Lindy are out with ailments right now, but they will add needed depth to the team when they return. There are also nine men up from last year's frosn team. They are: JIM WELSH, HOW.

End Hugh Hopkins pounced on a fumble on the Redlands twenty-five yard line to set up the first touchdown. Halfback Bruce Blackie ran for fifty-seven yards in a fourth quarter scoring drive. A pass interception and a fifty-eight yard run by fullback Ed Krehbiel enabled the Beavers to maintain their slim lead in the closing moments, as did an alert fumble recovery by Bob Schenter. Tackle Larry Ber ry also recovered a fumble along with blocking an extra point. Gene Stanley made a good catch of a partially blocked pass and Blackie similarly intercepted a blocked pass. Bob Mitchell's line play, Kreh-biel's punting and Blackie's pass receiving were all superb and Galen Sarno, Lance Hays, and Lane Spencer were the "unsung heroes" in the center of the line.

Although six or seven years ago, Germany and Europe would have been overrun by a commu-mist alback, today anvasion would be more firmly met. "It would be a bit of a party, of course," he commented in his Thursday, December 2, 1954 clipped English accent, "but it is not certain they weile eve it their own way." The Field Marshal expressed a great confi-dence in the soldiers of western Europe. And, as he said in the press conference, "We are in- clined to think the Russian Bear stronger than it is." To Montgomery, air power is the decisive force today. Armies and navies, must be noW subordinate, more moolle, and all need to be able to weapons. Even in local wars, atotalt weapons must be used when circumstances demand it. All this means that the mill-tary is closely connected with science. Because of our thermo- nuclear weapons, we have strength, and we should not be afraid to threaten atomic retalia-tion if attacked. To this might be added an ear-lier comment that reveals his military philosophy on warfare: "I don't make wars. Politi- cians make wars."
