If the central government controls everything the vicious circle of inefficiency, waste, and repres- sion will inevitably lead to dic-tatorship. Incentives Work His own view supported by his work in Pakistan is that given sufficiently high economic incentives it was possible — and is in other countries-to create a very able core of promoters who were committed to industry and industrial enterprise. Within ten years Pakistan made Trenti dous economic dor diltes with only government control being the manipulation of market incentives. This system minimizes administration corruption and releases the civil service to attend to more ur- gent needs such as the regeneration of the stagnant agricul- tural system in Pakistan. The government can effect the direction of investment by using differential taxation and subsidies and will thus create a system that is flexible and efficient because of decentralized decision making. The expansion of this program is limited only by the number of tutors available. Students who are interested in becoming tutors should contact Al Green at the Y office (extension 555). The tutor can then pick his student from a card file and make individual arrangements with him.

A major part of the Club's concern stemmed from a fear that Culbertson would largely be taken over by the Industrial Relations group who now occupy the basement rooms and that further use of the building for dramatic presentations would be impossible. However, this probably will not be the case. According to Dean Eaton, In- dustrial Relations is tentatively planning to move to a different location in the near future. "This will," he said, "leave Culbertson free for student musical and dramatic activities. If this comes about, it would mean that some kind of semipermanent arrangements for seating, lighting and stage settings could be developed over a period of time. More impor- tant, since major amounts of time have been spent on repetitious construction work in the past, the work load levied on a few people would be lessened and more time could be spent on the more important parts of the productions. The question is, of course, the timing. There is no assurance that Culbertson will be available for expanded activities soon— only a tentative suggestion. In terms of the long-range de- velopment of the campus, such considerations are admittedly unimportant. From the standpoint of students who will be active in drama at Tech for only a few years, the problem of space and equipment is exaggerated. We hope that there will be a reasonably quick tying-up of loose ends. —abell CALIFORNIA TECH Bayne (Continued from page 1) real anti-Americanism in Italy, there is, he feels, a significant amount of "neutralist" feeling Catholic Influence In discussing the influence of the Catholic Church in Italy Bayne contrasted countries like Spain and Italy - where Catholics are the vast majority of the population - with nations like the United States and Canada, where there are Catholics, but they are in pointed the minority, out that, while He it is hard to prove the existence of religious oppression in Italy, the subtle dominance of the Cath- olic hierarchy makes it almost impossible for other churches to get a toehold in Italy. The Catholic Church, as a result of the Lateran pacts of the late Twenties, also exerts a great influence in the Italian public school system. Bayne mentioned that one of the texts used by his ten-year-old daughter in the Florence school system begins with a chapter on "The Cult of Mary" followed by a psycholog-ically-potent chapter entitled "Don't Fornicate!" (Perhaps the titles loose some of their eupho-ny in translation.) Iran Bayne discussed his views and impressions of Iran at length in the Tuesday Public Affairs Lecture (receiving, incidentally, 29 seconds total applause ... a new indoor record.) Bayne's assessment of the Iranian situation is summarized well in one of his recent A.U.F.S. reports: "Iran has moved satisfactorily in recent years toward the independence it desires, and in the doing has apparently established a momentum of development in social and economic areas that presages the continued progress toward modernity. It has man aged to keep its closest threat, Russia, at bay without serious cost, trading with its satellites and with Russia itself. Iran ap pears to be committed to continued development along Western lines, adapting Western institutions and ideas to its own conditions. While foreign policy will remain a most delicate science in the nation for years to come, it would seem that the Iranian realm's successful de- velopment and progress will depend more upon the guidance it receives internally than upon external factors. The develop ment process, is, in a way, total revolution of classes, concepts, economics, and national image; and danger lies in these early decades of social disintegration before the new, modern integration has taken firm hold." Silvert Next Visitor K. H. Silvert, this year's second AUF'S visitor, will arrive on campus next Monday afternoon to begin a round of talks and discussions on Latin Amer-ica, chiefly Chile and Argentina. Thursday, January 18, 1962 Silvert, who holds a Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania and has been an associate professor at Tulane University, began his research in Latin America during 1947-48 as the recipient of a Penfield Traveling Scholarship. He is the author of a two-volume work entitled, "A Study in Government: Gua-temala." Silvert became an AUFS Associate in 1955, and during 1956-58 reported on affairs in Argen tina, Chile, and Uruguay. In 1960-61 he directed a major study of the role of education in and economie ment in Latin develop- America which was made possible by a grant to the AUFS from the Carnegie Corporation of New York Schedule Silvert's tentative schedule for the first two days of his visit is as follows: Monday, January 22, he will address the Upperclass Dining Club at 6:30 p.m. in Chandler Dining Hall Tuesday, January 23, at 11 a.m.. Silvert will speak to the H 5 class on "Recent Political Events in Argentina," afterwards attending a luncheon with the H 5 staff. Tuesday afternoon he will be interviewed by the International Affairs Staff of the California Tech and will wind up a busy day with a discussion at Dr. Munger's H 124 Seminar at 7:20 p.m. in 208 Dab-ney. our man in the Ivy Leagues BY LARRY MCCOMBS Has the idea ever crossed your mind that you're not cut out to be a research scientist or an en-gineer? Do you like people and hate labs? Then why not consider becoming a high-school science teacher? Yes, I know the usual Caltech reaction to that question. And I've heard all the arguments against it which you are now thinking of: low pay, dull and repetitive work, lack of free ume, ana pressure to contorn In eight months I will be begin- WOrK high school teacher, and the closer I get to that goal the less validity I see in the preceding accusations. But let's consider them one at a time: Salaries your choice of a lot of good of-fers. Surprisingly enough, the best schools also pay the most money. With M.A. degree, starting salaries in the New England area range from $4000 to $5600. The best offer I have heard was that of $5600, with pay raises such that you would achievea salary of $10,000 in eight or ten years. And scales are being raised each year. Work Dull work? I'm getting more and more excited over the pos-sibilities. The content of present high school courses was solidified in the early years of this century. Yet science has pletely changed since then.

"West Side Story" is Folk Opera catches every detail, and this is worthy of this respect. On the stage, "West Side Sto- ry" is perhaps the finest pro- duct of American musical the- ater; it ranks with "Porgy and Bess" as American folk opera. One reason is that unlike most operas and musicals, it has a plot — the timeless plot of "Ro meo and Juliet." The scene is the slums of New York; the Capulets and Montagues are now the Sharks and the Jets, two rival warring gangs. We see Romeo and anta Maria, Juliet, now Tony perform their eluctable dance of death, and all about them there is dance - the frantic, stricken tarantella which is the essence of New York. Weaving it all together is the music of Leonard Bernstein, who has utterly captured the mood of his city, and perhaps given it a permanent place in musical history This Juis of drama, music, and dance is the liveliest possible synthesis of the lively arts. Faithful Reproduction In the screen version most of the above has been preserved. Director Jerome Robbins also directed the original stage pro-duction, and clearly he has tried to reproduce it as faithfully as possible. Bernstein's music comes through unscathed - im- proved, in fact, because the ste-reophonic sound at Grauman's is higher-fi than live sound in any theater. The lyrics of Stephen Sondheim are rehashed and expurgated; this is not such a crime, since they were often silly in the first place ("... but here you are/and what was once a world is a star .. " Ouch!); although one may object on palepie, since bowdlerizing has never been known to prove anything. As to the danc- ing, it is perfect, incredibly precise - each sequence must have been laken and retaken until perfection war attained. The casting is for the most part sat- isfactory; the temptation to make everyone as cute as a Coke ad seems to have been resisted, and these slum-dwellers, though not ugly, are believable. Rich- ard Beymer, as Tony, bears an unfortunate resemblance to Elvis Presley and is not particul- arly expressive, but Natalie Wood as Maria is pretty and in-genuous, never upstaging her- self, as would be so easy in this There is only one loud complaint to be complained against the film version, and that is the comic song "Gee, Of- ficer Krupke" has been moved from just before the final scene back to before the rumble. It is needed in its former place as re- liet and to intensify the falling graduate BY FLETCH MURPHY Last week Professor Cole walked into his AM 125 class carrying a Persian rug, rolled it out over the floor in front of the blackboard, said something about always wanting a rug, and began his lecture. Some of his students thought that he might have been suffering from fallen arches or varicose veins, but it turned out that the rug was actually for his new office in Firestone, the bare walls there having awakened a new interest in interior decorating.

SCIENTISTS You are cordially invited to attend a private interview with a Special Representative of Lockheed Missiles & Space Company. Objective: Pursue mutual interests by examining the almost limitless fields of endeavor being investigated at Lockheed. Lockheed Missiles & Space Company in Sunnyvale and Palo Alto, California, on the very beautiful San Francisco Peninsula, is constantly probing all the sciences related to missiles and space projects. These cover the complete spectrum-from human engineering through celestial mechanics- providing a fascinating challenge to those whose interests lay beyond the ordinary day-to-day job. Lockheed, Systems Manager for such projects as the Navy POLARIS FBM and the Air Force DISCOVERER and MIDAS Satellites, is also an important contributor to various NASA programs involving some of the nation's most interesting and sophis- ticated concepts. As one of the largest organizations of its kind, the Company pro- vides the finest technical equipment avail- able; tor example, the Sunnyvale facility houses one of the most modern computing centers in the world. Every opportunity is given members of the technical staff to participate in the initiation of advanced technological developments. Further, Lockheed strongly encourages continuing education and advanced degree work, maintaining two programs in their support. • Lockheed's Tuition Reimbursement Pro- gram remits seventy-five percent of the tuition for approved courses taken by professional and technical people who are working tull time. • The Graduate Study Program permits selected engineers and scientists of out-standing scholarship and professional potential to obtain advanced degrees at company expense while employed on research assignments.

Saturday the Poets looked unbeatable. powerful Whittier five last Saturday night at the Whittier gym. The final score was 80-52, and the varsity was outplayed in every quarter but the second. The Poets, sparked by the sharp play of Steve Hayes, who traditionally has his best sallies against Caltech, jumped to a commanding lead in the first ten minutes of play and the best the Beavers could do was to pull back to within six points in the second quarter. This was the Gerber High Man High scorer for the Beavers was Dean Gerber, who scored fifteen points, and close behind were Noll and Bopp with twelve and eleven points, respectively. Earlier the frosh lost by a 77-31 score, being completely outclassed by the Poet freshmen. The band deserves a compliment for Saturday night's ef- forts. We heard several favorable corinners from Whittier people about their playing. It is hoped they will show up at further games since it adds a lot to the spirit, even in a losing cause like Saturday's. Tomorrow night the Beavers meet Claremont - Harvey Mudd at Claremont in a league con-test.

Creating a new world with Electronics HUGHES HUGHES AIRCRAFT COMPANY Shave and a Haircut Pressure to conform? Here the Caltech student may feel a certain amount of pinching. He must dress decently, shave daily, and in general conform outwardly to the minimum moral code of the community where he is teaching.

Whether your ambition is to give carefully- prepared college-like lectures, or to introduce the classes to the complexities of research, you will be able to find a class where you can try your ideas.

Princess Gayle I've always wondered about the supposed feud between Cal-tech and PCC, and decided to do a little snooping around with the hope of finding a way to improve relations and lower the class average around here. To make the job as easy as possible, I decided to interview Gayle Morris, one of the Rose Princesses: Q.: What usually comes to mind at PCC when Caltech is mentioned? A: I've often heard that the parking lots over there are a good place to park. Q: You mean the PCC lot gets overcrowded? A.: Yes, it does, but that has nothing to do with it. Q: I've heard that Techmen and CC's live in different worlds. Do you believe that to be true? A.: Yes - a world of thick glasses, beards, and boundary layers there, and a world of empty cigarette packages, tanks, and not so exceedingly full heads here. Q.: Do you think anyone desires to change this situation? A.: No. Q.: Do you think an exchange dance would be well attended by PCC girls? A.:Yes. End interview.

New Metal Fatigue Theory Revealed An aeronautical engineer at Caltech has developed a com- prehensive new theory of metal fatigue that makes it possible predict accuralery the life span of any structural component in aircraft and missiles and to predetermine the probability of failure due to accumulated damage at any stage of its life. Progressive Damage Developed by Dr. Sitaram Rao Valluri, research fellow in aeronautics, the theory based on experimental evidence that metallic structural components are subjected to progressive damage called fatigue in pro- portion to the intensity and the duration of the stresses applied to them. At any given time after the structural component is put in use, only a decreasing amount of strength remains in it. The theory is concerned primarily with the asalmation of this sidual strength and the analysis of the factors affecting it. The theory has been able to predict results of strength tests with much greater accuracy than has hitherto been possible. 111 one Lastance, the errors in a fairly complicated type of loading averaged less than five per THE CALIFORNIA TECH Techmen Rank High On Bill Of Rights Quiz BY DANNY ROMM to work, say 16% and 10% of Techmen demonstrated they Caltech students, respectively. know more about the Bill of The averages at Rights than do students at other schools were 23% the other in favor of southern California colleges on right to work, and 36% in favor the Nass or a recent pol cir of freedom of enterprise. culated by the Caltech chapter Caltech was also right on sev- of the American Civil Liberties eral questions that other col- Union.

WORTH, TEXAS Page Eight ACLU Poll (Continued from page 7) il liberties. In most respects Caltech appeared to fit ACLU's concept of "civil libertarian" better than did the other four colleges sampled. As examples - 92% of Tech- men said a Socialist should be permitted to teach in a college, while 76% or the others held view. Similarly, 55% Techmen said a labor leader should be able to refuse to answer questions before Congressional investigating committees, while only 36% of the other students agreed. On the other hand, Techmen came out strongly in favor of government and property rights, supporting The following con- cepts by much greater majorities than did the other colleges: (1) giving the government power to arrest and hold without court hearing suspicious persons during a "national emergency"; (2) not outlawing racial discrimination in public and private housing; and (3) giving to police the right to pump the stomach of a known dope peddler on suspicion that he has swallowed evidence. Yet, surprisingly in light of the above results, Techmen also overwhelmingly refused Federal Communications Com- mission the right to cancel TV programs which it feels are against the national interest. However, 35% of Techmen supported double jeopardy, and 41% favored wire tapping as a means of fighting crime. Also, despite wide campus publicity about the issue, only 50% of Techmen were opposed to loyalty oaths as a condition for financial aid from the government. Inconsistency is Neat The above on-campus results illustrate a fairly inconsistent approach to the civil liberties ideas expressed in the polls, even in view of the highly simplified questions. ("Anyone who has ever belonged to the Communist party should be barred from public employment-yes or no?" is a typical question. What em-ployment? Where? How long ago was he a Communist? Why was he a Communist?) This inconsistency was reflected in the overall statistics, partly because half the students polled were from Caltech. Eason Monroe of the southern California branch of the ACLU said the poll revealed college students showed "remarkable inconsistency and lack of clari-ty" on Constitutional questions. Despite the faults of his poll, Mr. Monroe's statement seems well founded. Techmen did repudiate their role of unaware scientists by showing a far better knowl. edge of the Bill of Rights than did other college students, but they also seemed rather vague on the applications of the rights they know about. Copies of the Poll, and scores thereof, are available from Larry Rabinowitz, ACLU Caltech chapter president, in Page House.

I wonder if there is any connection between the location of the chapel and the perennial complaint that "Tech is Hell!" All I know is that I'm not going to visit the place on All Hallow's Eve Midsummer's Eve at midnight. Pat's, Not Kloke's For those wHO have found Kloke's unfriendly of late there is now a reasonable alternative. Pat's on Colorado Street has asked the Barfly's expert ad- vice and received it. Only the ineptitude of our scurvy Business Manager has so far prevented them from advertising here. Pat's location is near the Track, and if by some mis- chance the stock doesn't include what you want Pat will probably be glad to know about and order it. The remainder of the column is stolen from Gene Cordes, my predecessor-but-one, and is about five years old. Its age is the reason why most of the prices are out of date. Scotch Evaluated "This week we deal with specific evaluation of several brands of Scotch. First let us assume that drinker has a strictly beer budget. For this imbiber we restrict ourselves to those Scotches costing less than $7 a fifth. Most of the brands are actually found in this range, so a great latitude of choice is available. Prominent products that fall into this price class include Black and White, Haig and Haig, Five Star, Dewar's White Label, Ballantines, Old Smuggler, White Horse, Whyte and McKay, Tea-cheers Highland Cream, Martins VVQ, Vat 69, Johnny waKe Red Label, Ushers, Grant's La-phroaig, Cuttysark and Horse of Lord's. If the prospective drinker prefers a drink of light body and delicate flavor, no better choice can be made than Cut-tysark. fuller and richer drink is desired, then Black and White or Johnny Walker must be the pick. Scotches in this class to steer clear of include Martin's (too smooth), Laphro-aig (too rocky), White Horse and Usher's. For an all around Scotch, Whyte and McKay makes an excellent drink but it is unfortunately almost impossible to obtain it on the West Coast. The rest of the Scotches are quite acceptable but it is felt that the above mentioned brands are the finest quality available at this price. Up a tad Let us skip up a tad and consider those Scotches that sell for between seven and ten dollars. There is no point in purchasing Scotch that costs this much unless it is consumed straight or on-the-rocks. A process that requires 8 years of aging can be completely obliterated in five seconds just a bottle of soda. Most of the drinks in this range are the result of more costly blends and longer periods of aging. The list here is more restricted but does include Haig and Haig CALIFORNIA TECH Page Nine Pinch, Black and White Delux, Johnny Walker Black Label, Kings Ransome, Chivas Regal, Ushers (20 years old), Martin's (8 years old), Grant's (12 years old), Crabbie's and Blended Moorian's. The best Scotch of full body and flavor here is prob ably Chivas Regal, with Black Label not far behind. Those who like a lighter Scotch will prefer Pinch or King's Ransom. Blended Moorland's has fine flavor qualities but is all of 100 proof which is fine for the Wyoming roughnecker but may do disturbing things to the delicate linings of milady's throat. All of the above Scotches are fine products whose quality reflects their high price. Plutocratic realm At this point we move into the realm of the plutocratic, cap-money hoarder. The prices of the following brands range from $10 to a nifty little job that markets for $32.25. This is a considerable range, but above $10 who cares? All of these brands are among the fin-est. Scotch available and are all the result of extensive aging. The list includes: Ballantines (17 and 30 years old), Grant's (20 years old), Glenlivit (10 years) and a few exotic brands not obtainable in this part of the coun- Glenlivit is the only unblend-ed Scotch on the market, to the best knowledge of this writer, and will not appeal to the drinker accustomed to the conventional blended Scotches. It is quite highly spiced, being dis- tilled in the Scottish Highlands. Just for the record, the 30-year old Ballantines is the $32.25 a fifth dandy. The above list is not intended Russo Routed "Quit pulling down my pants, Russo!" was feminine comment heard by startled Scurvefrosh who was walking by closed door. Beak, always anxious to find a good piece for column, investigated matter further. Unfortun-ately, expected turns out to be false. Russo, attempting to find new standards for wenchae, has measured calf of female asso ciate. Wench, attempting to retrieve leg from tape, finds bullfighter pants caught in same. Thus issueth comment. Sigh! Lamplight Lampooned Beak is relieved to find that others can cause almost as much confusion as himself.. Consider case of great mass of nervousness at Scrippschool when two to be all-inclusive, but rather is offered as summary of the most popular Scotches consumed in this part of the country. The writer regrets any omissions or errors of judgment. It must be realized that Scotch does not run the complete gamut of qualities that Bourbon does. Almost all of it is quite drinkable in contast several Bourbons which come to mind without the slightest provocation. Those who do not appreciate the fine qualities of Scotch we leave to their own inept fumblings." Brewins girls at same dorm find that they both have dates on same night with a Mike Lampoon from Tech, of which there is only one. Confusion is hopelessly increased when one wench believes that said Techman is senior, while other female thinks Lampoon is sophomore. Fortunately for women, situation clears up when two Techmen arrive to pick up dates. Explanation is soon found to be telephone operator-wench, who has garbled messages. Sophomore Lamplight found name changed to Lampoon, only Lamp known to operator. Beak has unani- mously voted said telephone- wench into "Brewin Maker" club. Scratch Swamped Scurve Coxswain Scratch was much surprised upon returning from recent date with Hero- Frosh-wench. Upon opening door to room, Scratch discovered that he has been buried under 700 cubic feet of newspaper; the result of one week of collecting and 50 man-hours of crumpling. Not to be outdone, Scratch convinced courtyard rooms that morning was at hand by using remains of room cleanup for marshmallow roast in our founder's pot. Toad Tells Trophy Tale Toad is no longer sober, and so is in a position to report that Scurvedwart now holds House record by consuming more of certain spiriti frumenti than could the combined efforts of half-a-dozen others of the house at a recent party. A perpetual trophy in his name will be awarded to those bettering this mark. Only dissenting opinion is from Rah Anvil, who objects to being continually left out of such contesta Brewin Brewins Floydman Brewfree, deciding that his Klokebill was rather high, came across the idea of utilizing some useful information from the California Tech. Before Beak receives numerous letters reminding him that there is no useful information in the Tech, it should be noted that the issues said Floydman used were two years old. Contained within previously mentioned glorious issues was the secret formula for the production of a weakly alcoholic beverage. At the pre-sent, 4 gallons of this wonderful liquid are hibernating for short périod. Inquiries reveal that the results of this endeavor are being distributed absolutely free!
