Other features of the apPar­atus are a rotating target, whichexposes a much larger surfaceto the X-ray beam than conven­tional fixed target spectro­meters, thus minimizing effectsof grain growwth, and a devicefor producing a beam of nearlymonochromatic X-rays, thus re­ducing the broadening of linesin the diffraction pattern.

Specifically, the object of theproject is to detennine varia­tions of crystal structures inmetals at high temperatures;the apparatus to be used is ahigh temperature X-ray spect·rometer.

The only Techman fortunateenough to have a speaking partwas junior ME Hal Dale. Hisline was, "Professor, I thinkI've proved Murphy's prin­ciple." The so-called principleasserts that if there is any pos­siblity of a machine fouling upduring operation, it will. Ironi­cally enough, the validity ofMurphy's principle was demon.strated when th~ battery usedto start the high compressiontest engine had to be constantlyhooked up to the battery chargerduring the actual show.

nature of the work which hehas undertaken, merits a mostserious criticism, preferably ~necoming from someone who canvisualize both Tatro's ends andhis means. That last criteriaeliminates with a few excep­tions, practically every,body injazz, both musicians and non·musicians alike, as potentialcritics of Tatro's compositions.

As for myself, although Ihave some acquaintance withcontemporary classical \ music,whose harmonies Tatro utilizesprimarily, still I feel myself un­equal to the task of writing avalid critique worthy of Tatro'scompositions. Nevertheles, rshould like to give my impres­sions of the album, after hear­ing it perhaps a dozen times.

To be completely frank, rthink Jazz for Moderns is' superb. . .that if successful, it willmark a milestone for jazz, andmusic, and each compositionseems genuine.

whether Or not you feel itfashionable to be modern, youwill either rave over this recordor airily q.ismiss it as beingnothing but noise.

Unfortunate as that fact is, itis nonetheless true. Few jazzenthusiasts will take the troubleto examine analytically Tatro'scompositions to decide upontheir merit, and of those whodo attempt such an analysis,fewer yet will have the back­ground to complete it. The plainfact of the matter is that Jazzfor Moderns is to jazz as Joyce'sUlysses was to literature.

AsIS e,,:,ldently the case with most of the female employees of theInstitute, Kay attended college. She studied journalism at

Woodbury College after graduat­ing from Mark ""Keppel HighSchool.

Unfortunately Kay has nothad much of a chance to meet:nany of you sterling gentlemen,III as much as her work keepsher in, the industrial relationsoffices in the basement of Cul­bertson, one of the more remotespots on campus. However atnoon and coffee breaks she ca~

be found in the friendly con>fines of the Greasy Spoon.

Two of Kay's more intense in­terests are food and music. Sheloves to cook and is "addicted tofood, especially steaks." Her mu­sical interest centers around pro­gressive jazz: "It swings, man'"She also spent six years of con­centrated study on the piano.

A good deal of her time thesedays is devoted to philanthropicwork. Kay is the director ofmusic of Job's Daughters of ElMonte and a past honor queenof that organization. She wasonce a cover girl for Navy GUide,a USN publication.

Kay has done quite a bit oftraveling. She lived in Wash·ington, D.C., for two years andin Norfolk, Virginia, for oneyear. Sometime in the futureshe hopes to visit England.

Once in a while Kay managesto find a little spare time. Whenshe does, she likes to spend itwatching TV. Her favorite pro­gram is Steve Allen's "Tonight."She also likes to go to the beachand enjoys dancing and othel:social activities a great deal.

The ICC Danceheld in February lost about $200, and our share will be $50. Intalking over athletic budgets. we discovered that with most of theother schools in our conference the cost of athletic awards and theathletic banquets are borne by the school and not by the students.However, these same schools give only first and third year awards-no jacket for two-year lettermen.

At the first meeting of the ICC held next school year the editorsof the humor mag of each school will attend to consider the possi­bility of having one ICC version of Farrago with all schools con­tributing.

As ASCIT treasurer, I deem it necessary to correct any erro­neous notions which may have aris§n due to an article which ap­peared in the California Tech last week. The main reason for themisconceptions stems, I believe, from an insufficient knowledge ofASCIT and Institute policies regarding the budgeting of StudentBody Funds.

First consider the athletic budget. The Caltechstudent pays$5.50 to the general athletic fund in return for which his studentbody card becomes a ticket of admission to all the sports events.This fee is not a part of the regUlar budget but instead is a chargeset up in the corporation by-laws and goes to support the intercolle­giate sports program. The Institute is not obliged to provide forintercollegiate sports compettion, and indeed many small schoolshave been forced to abandon their sports programs. And if one con­siders how much such a program must cost, he will realize thatthe students' contribution is only a token amount.

Next, athletic awards. The ASCIT has bUdgeted $1,850 for ath­letic awards such as letters, sweaters, jackets and blankets. Theathletic department is responsible for detertnining who is eligibleto receive an award, and in general, the BOD regards these judg­ments as sound. There may be a possibility that too many awardsare given to aualified men. At Tech. a man may qualify for threeawards (sweater. jacket, or blanket) during his! years of varsitycompetition. This extra award creates, in the judgment of the BOD,a real (and necessary) incentive towards participation in intercol­legiate sports.

Debate. The .I\SCIT has budgeted $475 or about $25 per teamrnpmber to 1;,he debate squad. This is a $125 cut below the $600which opbate reauested or a $25 cut below what was budgeted lastyear. The debate squad is certainly an organization worthy ofstudent body support, especially in that it brings a great deal ofprestige to the students-last year we produced the top debate teamin the nation. The cut was an action necessitated by the Board'sacceptance of new budget responsibilities (the Glee Club) and anecessary increase in appropriations to the ASCIT publications.

l'he Big T. Over the last four years the layout of the Big Th8f' become more and more conservative and a great deal of thoughthas been given to effective use 0 fspace (a very good example is seenin the difference in the layout of the senior sections of the '55 BigT as compared to the annuals of previous years). But in spite ofthis. the hook has become slightly longer because of the increasedenrollment and number of student activities.

As editor of the 1956 Big T. I know that every money-savingeffort was made so that Tech could get an annual at least con­sistent with its tradition, in spite of the rise in publfshing costs.It is not true that the printer did the yearbook\layout: this has alwaysbeen the responsibility of editors. In fact, through the use of amore conservative layout and by getting 50% of the copy completedbefore the early copy deadlines the 1956 staff cut the costs of theBig T by about $200.

I think this answers the most important questions that havearisen concerning the budget. It i~ unfortunate that these ques­tions could not have been put before the Board directly so thatthey could have been considered during the budget discussions.

Hats off to the varsity golfers also, for the second-place showingthey made in the SCC tournament last Friday at Brookside Park.Ed Shuster came through for second place honors with rounds of79 and 85. Shuster and Pete Abbey were picked as co-captains ofthe 1956 squad.

In and around the SCC The Redlands Invitational trackmeet, held last Friday, saw some pretty good performances by secathletes. Pomona's Bill Schultz had a fine 1:54.2 clocking in the­880 and Dean Smothers of Redlands leaped 45' 8%" in the hop-step­and-jump to take the award for outstanding individual performer.Whittier's Nick Street ran the 120 highs in 14.9 for another goodclocking. Outstanding Caltech performances in the meet were PhilConley's throw of 221'8" for first in the javelin, Ted Lang's third in<the half·mile.

Today's leadership ....a

reflection of policies established

in aViation's infancy

Back in The Roaring Twenties, the magic dream pictured Ameri­can families someday using the .light personal airplane as freely as,the family car. Among the realists, however, was a handful of menwho were unshakable in their conviction that the real future ofaviation lay with bigger aircraft, higher speeds, greater ranges­all possible only through engines of higher power and more relia­bility than those of that era.

In the spring of 1925, six of these men of vision founded acompany in Hartford to undertake the development of a new air·craft engine- an air-cooled type. The year's end heralded theirfirst success - Pratt & Whitney Aircraft's "Wasp".

This talented group of men continued to improve their power­plant designs, developing engines of steadily mounting power thatoperated efficiently and dependably. They contributed much toaviation's progress-.so much so that currently three-quarters ofthe world's coqunercial airliners and many of our nation's firSt linemilitary aircraft are P & W A-powered.

Today's P & W A powerplant designs are supported by thevery finest research facilities and equipment, and a technical staffthat is continually being strengthened. That nucleus of six men hasgrown into one of the world's leading engineering organizations.Yet to this very day, engineering achievement at Pratt & WhitneyAircraft is guided by its founders' simple policy ... the beSt air­planes can be designed only around the best engines.
