After that somewhat brief departure, it is high time that the California Tech welcomed you to Caltech. Caltech offers you an interesting and unique experience, but it will be a re-warding experience only if you make the effort. And we are not speaking only of your studying effort. The academic aspect of your Caltech education is, of But it not a complete one, far from These four years of undergraduate study will probably be the most influential in your life. facets of a mature personality. Caltech offers a wealth of opportunities to enjoy yourself as well as contribute to your own growth. music, athletics, journalism, debating and drama are more than adequately provided for in the Caltech communnity. One more word of warning before we let you depart in peace-don't believe everything you hear about Caltech from upperclassmen. You can learn a great deal from them if you can discern what is honest and what is trash. with them-after all, one must realize, that a few years here Libel Is Fun Now that everyone is sitting around waiting for class to begin, we would like to spend a few lines bragging to the upper-classmen of the Tech's record last year, and telling the frosh The Tech is completely uncensored and independent of the Institute faculty in a period during which the trend seems to be toward more control over college publications. this position the Tech is ideally suited to look out for student interest, to take a strong stand on campus issues, and to be a strong factor in forming campus opinion. inite Tech policy for the last four terms and the editors are strongly committed to continuing this practice in the coming We feel that a newspaper which does not offer constructive editorials and attempt to reflect student opinion is not ful-filling its duty to the school Last year the Tech played an important role in the adoption of the new rotation system (after a three year moratorium on rotation), and also figured significantly in the new two-year physical education program, which we strongly supported. Tech also took stands on issues such as B&G (always), built-up beds and furniture in the new Houses, the inclusion of the IHC ASCIT Board, and, most important, adoption of the by-laws which raised the Tech editor's salary and the paper's subscription rate. The periods between these campaigns were filled with our typical editorials, from praising such publications as the Big T (for coming out on time) and the little + (for being good), to criticizing such eminently worthy organizations as the Beavers (for being) and Totem (for not being) Even such a wonderful paper as the Tech, however, has Our biggest one (aside from the monumental debt) is the lack of a staff: We need more staff members in just The work isn't particularly hard or demanding, and you don't even have to share in the general campus hate directed at the editors. We especially need a sports editor and sports staff members. If you're interested in working a lot or a little, in any position, come down to the Tech office in Winnett Monday or Tuesday night, or see one of the editors either during or after frosh camp for a touch of the soft sell. -J.

UCLA Theater Group - which is the only reliably good Theater in lOwI is at work in its bor- rowed lecture hall. Nobody in his right mind would stay here in summer, of course; but if you nave to, there aie plenty of things to do. At least one film of real importance appeared this summer, and that's Viridiana made by a director named Bunuel in, of all Didees. Spain. Viridiana herself is a woman who wants to do good, and the moral, typical of the "new wave," is can't. Depressing or not, the theme is large enough to build work of art on, and I'm temoted to say that Viridiana does it justice.

I'd never heard opera in English before, but now I'm sold on it. It's true that the familiar arias sound strange in translation, but when people tell me that English "is not a poetic language" and consecuenuy can't sound well when sung, I'm inclined to dis-believe. After all, The Messiah sounds pretty good It may be that it's hard to make a good opera translation; a good one, of course, must not only be poetic, but also preserve the nuances of the original, which were mated, syllable by syllable, to the score. But on the other hand, the gain in comprehension is welln the effort. Mozart opera be monumentary dull in the arias are pleasant, but the rechauve send vou to dream- land in short order. Now English one can follow the intricacies of the plot, and even laugh at the jokes. And to one's surprise, opera seems no longer to be an esoteric kind of music, but rather (as I think it should) a kind of theater. I've heard that on some occasions, lacking a good translation, operas have Deen sung wit the arlas in whe original language and the "con-necting tissue" in friendly old English, so one can understand.

THE DEAN YOU SAVE MAY BE YOUR OWN Colleges are complicated and bewildering places, filled with complicated and bewildering people. Today let examine one of the most complicated and bewildering— yet fetching and lovable-of all campus figures. I refer, of course, to the dean Policeman and confessor, shepherd and seer, warden and oracle, proconsul and pal-the dean of students is all of these How, then, can we understand him? Well sir, perhaps the best wav is to take an average day in the lite of an average dean Here, for example, is what happened last Thursday to Dean Killjoy N.
