Separate accounts are still being tabulated, though. And NSTAR becomes more and more popular... Meanwhile, five terminals are being moved into Jorgensen from somewhere else.

Closer to Usual Greyhound Food Service (which may or may not tell us what those "steaks" were) might very well be losing money, but no one knows for sure-yet. They're operating on some kind of five-week plan which, roughly translated, means that no num- bers will be available until second term. The question of how they'll do financially arises because last year the contract price settled upon was amazingly low for the services promised. The Food Service has been running out of some food items, especially at lunch. Often, one of the offerings at dinner has been barely edible reused leftovers. They, on the other hand, have been so far responsive to student feedback. Most of the seven food reps also work as waiters in the houses, and their weekly ings have meet- produced stud- ent-originated menus.

THE CALIFORNIA TECH Friday, November 1, 1974 THE CALTECH FORUM "Rip Off" Usage Gets Support In your Forum last week, Dr. Newton objected to the use of the slang term "rip off" on grounds that it disguises the essentially immoral nature of the act to which it refers. I wish to express a difference of opinion. In the evolution of language, terms related to important as- pects of the users' environment tend In those usage, while whose antecedents are no longer important the slowly pass out of the common usage. Initially, individual new words are not accepted by the entire population and are called slang, or non-standard forms.

Why then should we object to new terminology arising from the trend's socio- logical effects on the student? More specifically, "rip off" is by no means "steal." a substitute for The demonstrate following examples proper use of the slang in which "steal" would be inappropriate. Food service is a rip off. (bad deal) Can I rip off these matches? (use, borrow) Chem 21 ripped me off. (did me in, dealt unfairly with me) As these examples demonstrate, "rip off"" has a broader connotation than "steal," dealing with any situation 1n which dil advantage is taken by one party of another's resources, material or spiritual. Stealing is a specific act violating a dictate concerning property. The case in question, that of insurance of honorable conduct between one student and another, deals with infringement of rights, not the taking of property from a corporation. submit to you that the term "rip off" was rightfully used, and that in fact "steal" would evade the real issue at hand.

Langmuir Big T Editor Misses The Point I read with interest a letter to The California Tech by Professor Charles Newton. With all due respect, I dissent. It is true that we should call things by their right names but, let me point out, names are right only by convention-and conventions change. Change is the basic law of nature and this has been recognized by mystics (with their ever-repeating emphasis about the non-permanence of things) and scientists (who spend their lives studying nothing but changes). Words like thief, robber, murderer and forth, have for centuries carried negative con- notations based on naive notions of the good guys and the bad guys. The origins of these classifications 1S not SO innocent history of class, racial and national domination and economic exploitation. Behind this history lies a sad neurosis of civilization, the tragic story of pathological possessiveness, cruel and incompassionate rape by human beings.

The passionate search for the absolute in art is extraordinarily dangerous, because it brings about impotence. It is the exact counterpart to the religious search with the aid of a magic formula, so as to gain Paradise without creative effort.-Frank Martin The above passage, written by Frank Martin in 1943, sums up much of his creative beliefs, still active when this piece was written, quarter of almost century later. Martin's fruitful pen produced in those years such brilliant works as the Petite Symphonie Concertante (for harp, piano, harpsi- chord, and strings) of 1945, the Concerto for Seven Winds Tim-pani, and Strings of 1949, and the Violin Concerto (1951). Born in Geneva Switzerland, on Sept. 15, 1880, he is still living at the time of this writing in Naarden, Holland, where he is continuing to compose. The last years of the decade past saw the production of a tremendous Second Piano Concerto (1969) and a Cello Concerto of similar proportions and dramatic force. Despite the almost Stravinsky-like aspect of his music, he retains a distinctly flew creative element, coupled with Swiss accent that is unmistakeable. In the first movement, Lento-Allegretto moderato-Lento, he expresses a particularly deep and subtle mood which finds its way through a series of well-done contrpuntal episodes after the initial prologue for the alone. Strings, cello harp and piano allude quickly to the sober and powerful mood evoked in the opening lines. With the switch to the Allegro, the flute announces a change in tempo that is passed along to the woodwinds, returning to the cello, and followed by a beautiful oboe passage. It is then the counterpoint takes its most dramatic turn, with the events ale institution in the Southland, and we are proud that its home is DOUG WESTON Beckman.

The second, slow movement, an Adagietto in a meter that is an easygoing triple, consists of a series of passagcaglia movements brought against a slow, rhythmic pulsing from the rest of the orchestra. In the closing movement, the influence of that colossus of music. Arnold Shoenberg, be- coldes evdent. The twelve-tone scale Schoenberg devised be- comes a basis for the striking chromatic passages that add life and beauty to the piece. In a swelling series of lyrical encount-ers, the composer ends the music with a swirling but compelling series of trills, tremoloes, and pizzicatoes. As the says: composer In view of such extreme and contrary demands, a work of art reflecting creative serenity will be achieved only rarely and with great difficulty. Rather, it will reflect struggle, struggle within, with the public, and, above all, with those ordinate and contradictory demands. But the composer is powerfully stimulated by this situation, for in his heart springs the hope eternal to reconcile or encompass those two opposites, i.e., originality and fierce turbulence on the one hand and calm beauty and serenity in the other hand... the new and classic work that the public expects. How wondrous and how impossible. On the other side of the record is the equally famous Concerto for two violins and string orchestra,by Malcolm Friday, November 1, 1974 and trumpet player. Arnold, British by origin and residence, has had all too little publicity this side of the Atlan-tic. Except for recordings, he has all but remarned in England, much to our loss. A strict traditionalist, Arnold brings forth his ideas in a new and striking fashion, much like the great composers of the Classical era. He has, however, avoided the strict doctrines without sacrificing the clarity of the previous composers. The first movement the Concerto, for example, is cast in the traditional three-part form, but the initial presentation of ideas does not incur a later reinstatement of the theme. It is this sort of duality that has ensured the great amount of fame that Arnold has enjoyed. The first movement, an Ale-gretto risoluto, expresses a trau- Jud lie and energetic sort composure, somewhat like of the later works of Carl Ruggles, or perhaps with a little thrown in for spice. pre-Bach The con- trasting forces of the orchestra, so difficult to achieve with only strings, seems timeless and tre-mendous. When the more ambitious developmental section in the second part is reached, there is not a doubt as to the excellent craftsmanship that this piece represents. The slow movement involves more deliberation, more like the Bydlo of Moussorgsky's famous Pictures at an Exhibition. With the even quarter notes of the initial mood fixed firmly in our ears, we come to a first high point, where the soloists declaim in parallel in a sense-whirling set of parallel thirds. A calmer echo in the orchestra attracts the soloists again, and with muted pianissimo passages, draws to a close. And the final Vivace is no less amazing. Celtic Set on the pure brings rhythym of the jig, back ancestral memories of ancient festivals, but always eludes the imagination with its twisting and turning arpeggios. Finally turns, rather than draws to a close, and the music is over. Arnold, who is also a conductor -David Callaway Caltech football in the Wall Street Journal?

Proponents of the measure hold that the loss of voting rights is a continuing punishment and second-class cit-izenship. Opponents of the mea- take the "law and order" tack, stating that the loss of voting rights should be part of the punishment, since that is the "traditional" way of things. (One might also argue that the rack was traditional.) Proposition 12 also has to do with rights, but in a very different way. It is an attempt to streamline that part of the State Constitution dealing with Public Utilities the Commission, which is currently camouflaged by such legalise obfuscations that "even lawyers cannot understand them and must go to court to have their meaning determined." Anything which makes the Public Utilities Commission comprehensible can't be all bad. Bilt of Sex? Proposition 11 is the white flag of legislative sexism.

There seem to be Propositions several with little or no impact on the real world. One example is Proposition 13 (na-turally) which allows the cities in San Diego County to admit that San Diego is shaped funny, and act accordingly. The problem would not exist, it seems, except for the fact that San Diego is discontinuous as far as dry land concerned, connecting its fragments by corridors under water. The entire state is bur- dened with figuring out what to do about it. Proposition 15 repeals the law requiring the citizens of a city, town or county be allowed to approve or veto the construction of low-rent housing in their bailiwicks. In this case, there are definitely two sides to the issue. The proponents say that the requirement of local elections to approve low-rent helped housing has prevent much-needed housing from being constructed with federal money. There are 300,000 elderly persons in California who live in substandard housing. Clearly housing is need-ed. The hitch is that many communities have a here" "but not attitude about low-rent housing. These communities now have the right to refuse to allow the construction of state or federal public housing of this type. Since Article XXXIV (the one in 70% question) was enacted, of the low-rent elections have approved the projects. That, however, means that 30% went against the construction of housing. This is one of those cases of the needs of the communities versus the wishes of the communities. A Yes vote is in favor of needs, a No in favor of wishes. Bill of Water? Proposition 17, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Initiative, is the controversial issue of this elec-tion. By controversial, I mean that it has had more lies told about it than almost any other ballot issue this year. It seems that the Army Corps of Eng- ineers found some free-flowing water with no major dam around it, and couldn't let the oppor- tunity pass. They want to build the second largest rockfill dam in the nation on a stretch of what is considered some of the most beautiful waterway in the state. Proposition 17 would include the Stanislaus River in the existent California Wild and Scenic Rivers System. This measure allows construction of dams and such only when necessary for such flood control. The opponents of the measure have tried every dirty trick in the book to confuse the issue, even to the extent of claiming that a Continued on Page Eight If it's liberation you want, Ibsen was there before you?

His perfor- mance started late and ran even later, but struck a receptive chord in the audience who asked for more at the end. Although the orchestra lacked some elements of the technical proficiency which working together comes from continually (which many of them do not do), their embellishments to the original sheets tied together very effectively. Was It Really? In the beginning there was something that appeared to be an impromptu jazz session. The various sections of the orchestra were introduced to the audience then, the saxophones dominating throughout that performance, as they did throughout the pro- gram. This was the only flaw in an otherwise well structured group. Most of of the program was Ellis's own composi-tions, including the strange Passacaglia and Catch Up, wnlier standard Please, nineteen count (3-3-2-1-2-1-2-2-1-2), and Salvatore Sam, a salute to Sam Falzone of the saxophones. Yes, It Was The audience refused to be satisfied after the last scheduled song and rOse to their feet demanding more. Ellis eventually acceded and created an unusual scene in the usually staid audi lorum. the Refusing to perform if audience sat again, he launched Falzone into a boogie number. And people started to dance. The front of the Beckman stage filled, the aisles were occupied, people danced in front of their seats. When Ellis left it was to more applause than he'd gotten even on his first exodus.

The Reference Service is an odd come-on: EB promises to compile 100 bibliographical reference lists over a period of 10 years (which turns out to mean up to 10 a year) upon request, sending standard lists for up to 10,000 topics pre-prepared (for which list sent), and preparing from scratch lists on new subjects as requested. I have not yet tried any of the latter, but the ready-made lists acquired, which were mostly on Shakespearian free topics, were not of factual errors in the narrative sections and neither extensive nor commicative in the specific bibliographic references cited. My old colleague millikan jayhat trol commented fairly that these lists are really only of much use to persons who know nothing about a subject and need to get a start somewhere.
