With the optimistic view that everything turns out all right inthe end, decorators for next Saturday's Interhouse Dance are fran­tically stumbling towards their respective goals with the usual lagin planned schedule. Official attire for the dance, which startsabout 9 p.m., will be "dressy dress."

In carrying out the theme of "St. George and the Dragon,"Blacker House has planned a scene of Ye Olde Days. The courtyardwill be the lair of a giganticdragon whose tail will extendthrough the Blacker archwayand onto the Athanaeum lawn.Fearlessly engaging the dragonwithin the courtyard will be St.George, gallantly rescuing amaiden in distress. Blackerlounge will be the interior of acastle, complete with shield andsuits of armor, while the diningroom will be a 13th Century winecellar. There will be room fordancing in the lounge.

South Sea IslandsThe South Sea islands will be

depicted in Dabney House. Thecourtyard will feature a "realgrass" grass hut, a moonlit baywith an alligator (to discouragemoonlight swims), and variousreal and better that real birds,including a talking parrot. Thelounge will 'be a sacrificial altar,with periodic human sacrifices.

A n outstanding Flamencoguitarist, Manolo Vasquez, willbe inclUded in the FlemingHouse decorations which arebased on a Spanish theme': Theguitarist will appear in theFieming dining room, which hasbeen converted into a Spanishcafe. The lounge will be a bUllring while the courtyard willbe an old Spanish mission. Theexterior walls of Fleming facingthe Fleming-Ricketts courtyardwill be covered with store frontsof old Spain.

In the Fleming-Ricketts court­yard there will be extra dancingroom with music provided by aband sponsored jointly by Rick­etts and Fleming.

(This is the fourth article inthe Tech's series charting theprogress of the development pro­gram.)

Nearly 500 fathers of Caltechstudents have been invited to adinner meeting on campus thenight of Nov. 10 to discuss plansfor their participation in the In­stitute's $16,100,000 developmentcampaign.

The fathers, gathering from al­most every major city in South­ern California, are those of pres­ent undergradutes or of studentswho received B.S. degrees fromCaltech in the past four years.Over 70 men are expected to at­tend.

According to Mr. Harlan J.Nissen, chairman of the steeringgroup, the Parents' Committeeplans to enlist support not onlyfrom Southern California parentsbut from others throughout the'country. Its long-range objec­tive is to organize a permanentcorps of parents who will be inclose touch with Caltech affairsand active in financial support ofthe Institute.

The immediate fund raisinggoal of the Parents' Committeehas been announced as $100,000,which, it is hoped, can be raisedfrom among parents and theirpersonal and business acquain­tances.

Fifteen beautiful women havebeen chosen as semi-finalists forHomecoming Queen. These girls,Who have been eating dinner inthe Student Houses for the pastfour nights, will be narroweddown to five finalists on thebasis of elections to be held to­morrow.

The Queen will be chosen fromthese five in another election,and will be introduced duringHomecoming ceremonies, Friday,November 14.

Meanwhile other Homecomingplans are steaming ahead underfull power. According to KenDinwiddie, ASCIT Social Chair­man, a buffet supper will beserved at 6:15 p.m. the night ofHomecoming in Fleming andRicketts Houses for alumni andstudents with dates. Other stu­dents will be served in Blackerand Dabney.

During the meal, Coach LaBrucherie will give a shortspeach on the game outlook, andthe Caltech Glee Club will pre­sent a brief program.

The interviewer knew mere talk wouldn't sell a skeptic.So he showed him some "profiles" of recent college graduateswho had enjoyed that fabulous training, had worked atintriguing jobs, and had won early management promotions.

Girls Ijearned PlentySome of the girls were pretty interesting. Too bad they didn't

get to say much. But they learned pu-Ienty. You bet. Now theyare back at Scripps, P.C.C., and where have you, reveling overthe suave, debonaire, continental men of the world at Caltech. Boy,were they impressed.

Relay RaceThere was even an inkling of House reputat.ion at stake. Teams

from each house would go from girl to girl in a relay race, onemember picking up where the last one left off. It was good to seethe friendly House spirit which permeates all walks of life hereat Tech.

Actually, it's hard to say which House scored the most points,but it shouldn't be hard to find out. Someone must have beencounting.

by CarnoyOh, by the way, there was a tea for the Homecoming Queen

candidates in the garden behind Dabney Hall on Sunday. The girlswere there primarily to have their pictures taken for the usualcampus publicity. '

The sources of these girls are very varied this year, and it mustbe said that Monsieur Dinwiddie has given the campus somethingto think about for the next two weeks. Scripps, p.e.e., and u.s.e.are all ably represented.

No Tea at the TeaGetting back to the tea, there really was no tea there at all.

There was Bugs Bunny punch, however. Besides the pseudo-teathere were about twice as many Techmen as girls. Their purposewas to entertain the girls - you know, conversation and all.

Unfortunately, a great many of the entertainers seemed to thinkthat this was sort of an exchange, and, well, you know, Techmenare very competitive, so the idea became twofold. First, impressthe girl out of her mind; then when she was reeling under thisonslaught, get her to tak a look at the campus with you. Betterstill ...

ly suspicious, and I imaginethere must have been a lot inAmerican newspapers recentlyto show that Britain's hospital­ity to Jamaicans etc. is not ex·actly as frictionless as its toiletpaper.

The Notting Hill and Notting­ham brawls have been a sensa·tion here too, not only becauseof the racial implications but be·cause it seems that street fight­ing by gangs has been unheardof in London for over 200 years.

The general reaction is ,one ofshock and dismay. The out·raged statements of the judgeswho passed sentence on the of­fenders were printed in large,bold-face type on the front pagesof most of the London papers,with evident approvaL

As far as what to do about theproblem is concerned, all fourM.P.'s who spoke to us agreed(though with great variety ofempha.sis) that (1) as themother country of the Common­wealth, Britain could not thinkof abandoning her policy of freemigration, and certainly couldnot consider setting up a colorbar; (2) there should be somelegislation to provide for the ex·clusion or deportation of crim­inal elements, but (3) this hashas nothing to do with the pro­blem raised by the riots, whichis one of how to integrate thesenew citizens into the society,especially in the face of presentand possible future slackeningsof employment which m a k ethem competitors for jobs. Iron­ically, one of them suggestedthey might be able to leearnsome techniques from the U.S.which, he said, has been facedwith this problem for a longtime!

It is worthwhile by the wayto notice what kind of feelingsthose judges appealed to in theirremarks, personal or at most lo­cal, neither mentioning the in­ternational repercussions. "Youhave disgraced yourselves andyour families," said Dod son;"You have brought shame onthe district in which you live,"said iSalmon; but if it broughtshame on Britain, they left thatto the Foreign Office (which has,indeed, been very busy explain­ing things to various Common­wealth ministers in London.)Dodson even had the chutzpahto bawl the brawlers out forwasting the valuable time of thepolice rounding them up! Thepoint, I think, is that this is stilla tight little island; the appeal isto personal dignity and indig­nity, with the nation a result ofthese, rather than to politicalexpediency, with the nationalinterest an excuse. And in fcatthat is the only really effectiveappeal. In the U.S., where peo­ple's personal senses of what isdecent with respect, for exam­ple, to race relations are strong­ly cleft, the argument that seg­regation puts us in a bad lightpropaganda-wise is not going toconvince anybody.

Dr. Pauling is at the presenttime doing research into thechemistry of mental diseases. Agraduate of Oregon State Collegein 1922, Dr. Pauling earned hisPhD. here at Caltech in 1925. Hejoined the faculty of the Insti­tute in 1926, becoming a fUll pro·fessor in 1931. Pauling wasChairman of the Division ofChemistry and Chemical Engi­neering from 1936 until this year,when he resigned to devote fUlltime to his research projects.

To his deep insight into thenature of the universe, Profes·Sal' Pauling has joined a deepconcern for the welfare of thehuman race. Evidence of thisconcern was the pUblishing ofhis first non-technical book, Nol\Iore War! in August of thisyear. Dr. Pauling is perhaps themost widely-known of all Cal­tech's Nobel Laureates.

In addition to Drs. PaUlingand Anderson, two other Caltechgraduates have been awarded theNobel Prize. First was Dr. EdwinMcMillan, who obtained theprize in 1951 for his discoveryof plutonium. Dr. McMillan isat the present time a Professorof Physics at the University ofCalifornia at Berkeley.

Another physicist, Dr. Will­iam Shockley, followed Dr.'\TcMillan by obtaining the awardin 1956. Dr. Shockley receivedthe prize for his invention of thetransistor in 1948, at the BellTelephone Laboratories. He nowdirects his own labs, doing workin solid state physics.

DR. GEORGE W. BEADLE is the fifth Caltech faculty mem­IJer to receive the ~obel Prize. Dr. Beadle received his B.S. fromthe University of Nebeaslm in 1926, his PhD. from Cornell in 1931.He was ,I peofesso!' at StanfOl'd for nine ~Tears before coming toPasadena in 194(, to head the Biology Division.

man of the Division of Biology,as well as a member of the Ex­ecutive Committee. Morgan isregarded as one of the greatestbiologists of all time.

Dr. Carl Anderson, discovererof the positron, obtained hislaurels in 1936. In addition, Dr.Anderson was the first graduateof Caltech to become a winnerof the coveted Prize.

• Linus CarlPauling

Dr. Anderson was a memberof the class of 1927, and he re-ceived his PhD. degree in 1930.

At the time he did the workwhich made him famous through­out scientific circles the worldover, Dr. Anderson was a re­search fellow at the Institute.

He became an assistant profes­sor in 1933, an associate profes­sor in 1937, and a full professorin 1939. Besides his discovery ofthe positron, for which he re­ceived the Nobel Prize, Dr. An­derson was the discoverer of an­other fundamental particle, themesotron.

Dr. Anderson is at the presenttime a professor of physics hereat the Institute, continuing hisresearches in the field of particlephysics.

Protein chemistry was thefield in which Dr. Linus Paulingearned his award. Dr. Paulingwas the third graduate of the In­stitute to win the Nobel Prize.

Some other fields in which Dr.PaUling has made important con­tributions in the past are: theapplication of quantum mechan­ics to chemical bonds and mo-Dr. Linus C. Pauling

• Thomas HuntMorgan

Professor Thomas Hunt Mor­gan was the winner of the 1933Nobel Prize in Medicine. Work­ing with the same common 1l.ythat congregates around fruitstands and garbage pails, Dr.Morgan became known as thefounder of the "fly school" ofgenetics. Breaking a long tra­dition of aloofness to the aca­demic stature of American col­leges and universities, Europeanstudents soon began to make se­rious pilgrimages to his labora­tory.

At the time that Dr. Morganwas performing the researchsthat later led to his being madea Nobel Laureate, the famousbiologist was a professor at Co­lumbia University; later, in 1928,he joined the staff of the Cali·fornia Institute.

After his arrival at Tech, Dr.Morgan became the first Chair-

The first member of the Cal­tech faculty to receive the NobelPrize was Dr. Robert A. Milli­kan, who obtained the physicsaward for his epoch-making oil­drop experiment. Dr. Millikanhad come to the Institute in 1921,after resigning from the staffof the University of Chicago.

He became both Director ofthe Norman Bridge Lab andPresident of the Institute, a postwhich he held until 1945, whenhe retired to the position of vice­chairman of the Board of Trus-

, tees, which he retained until hisdeath in 1953. Dr. Millikan isusually regarded as foremostamong the men who pioneeredCaltech's early existence.

ver recordings without even apreemptory hearing. In the earlyfifties, though, Silver recordshad no commercial value. As wehave noted above, however, therecords themselves were as goodor better than the recent sell·out recordings. This is just an·other example of the lag be­tween contribution and publicacceptance, with the public, inthis case, being the supposedlyhip jazz audience. In Silver'scase, all went well, but many amusician must hock his hornbefore he is ever noticed.

Deaf PublicWhat's the reason for all this?

Why is talent obscured? Per·haps the situation is akin tothat brought on by the DiscJockey in popular music. Em·bryonic jazz fans listen only tothe highly touted records. I amsick of people extolling the vir­tues of :'\[y Fair Lady, Cal Tjad­er, and, in a different vein, JohnColtrane, without ever listeningto something on their own.

Horace Silver andThe Jazz MessengersBlue Note 1518 featuring: Ken­

ny Dorham, trumpet; Hank~Iobley, tenor sax; DougWatkins, bass; Art Blakely,drums; Horace Silver, piano.

The Horace Silver Quintet isnow a familiar voice in modernjazz. The group has attainedsuch stature that it is awardedthe flattery of consistent mim·icry. It serves, perhaps, as astandard of a hard bop quintet.

This album is the first releasedby the group. There have beena succession of horn men in thegroup, although Mobley's finesound is usually heard, and Silovel' has written originals foreach recording session, but hisformat has remained the same.There is no indication, however,that the style of Silver has beenoverworked. The shiny coveringof individuality has been rubbedfrom Silver's sounds, but thisuncovering has only revealedthe solid meat below.

Excellent OriginalsIt would seem as if the orig·

inals on this first album are ofa higher stature than some cur·rently released.

What has Silver written thatcompares with The Preacher?This track, contained herein, is atwo-beat swinger with the oldgutbucket feel. Call it a swing·ing sermon. The sensual Creep­in' In is another contributionto jazz that is hard to top. Room608 could conceivably serve asthe typical fast bop riff of theperiod, having little intrinsicmerit harmonically, but never·theless interesting in its inter·woven patterns.

The songs written by Silverfour years ago are at least asgood as his contemporary con·tributions. The soloists haven'tprogressed to a noticeable ex·tent, with the exception of Mo·bley who has attained greaterfacility. Silver is one of the bestpianists now playing, and hewas just as good four years ago.

More Care, OnceMoreover, Silver seemed to

put more care and work intoeach selection than in his recentrecordings. Most tracks containa subsidiary riff precluding theout chorus. A few tracks havehorn backgrounds to Silver'skey boa r d romps, a rare butworthy occurrance nowadays.

This is not to imply that 'Sil­ver's recent issues are to be con·sidered as inferior material. Iam merely noting that recentlySilver would write one riff persong. In this album he wrotetwo, and sometimes three.

Last Saturday the Beavers in­vaded D.C.L.A., but the bigschool proved to have too muchtalent in defeating the localsrather handily 5-0. Tech playeda good game for the first halfand were only trailing by 1-0at the intermission.

The second hailf started well,too, but after about ten minutes,D.C.L.A. added another goal.This score effectively broke thecontest open, and hereafter thegame was all D.C.L.A.

Tech demonstrated a fine run·ning game, but tired to let thesuperior passing and teamworkof the Bruins triumph.

Glenn Converse played out·standingly at center half, plug·ging up the middle time aftertime. Larry Tenn also playedwell at left wing.

This year college footballseems to be having an increasein the number of upsets andnear upsets. Ever since the twoplatoon system was thrown out,there has been a marked changefor the teams to become lessmechanical and more human­that is, possessed of the abilityto be inspired and to become dis·organized.

AS I SEE IT

Upsets Hit 'Grid Machines'by Russ Pitzer the season with perfect records,

yet here it is halfway throughthe season and all the top teamshave beeen beaten or tied.

LAST WEEKE,ND two BigTen teams traditionally on thebottom of the loop came throughwith upsets. Northwestern, whohad also previously upset Mich·igan State, beat Ohio State 21-0and Indiana beat Minnesoto 6-0.Another surprise last weekendwas when Syracuse defeatedPittsburgh 16 to 13.

Other major reversals earlierthis season occurred when theAir Force tied Iowa, Pitt tiedArmy and Texas beat Oklahoma.

THE REASON for the up·swing in the number of upsetsthis year is something I can'texplain. All I can say is thatI'm quite sure it isn't due to therule changes effective this yearconcerning offensive blockingwith only one arm nor the twopoint run, one point kick extrapoints.

On the local scene last weekPomona won 27·24 over Sacra·menta State, a team which hadpreviously beaten Whittier, andOccidental after taking a 40·14beating the week before fromWhittier, tied Santa Barbarawhom Whittier had barely easedby, 7-6.

THE WINNER of the Whit·tier-Redlands game on Novem·ber 22 will undoubtedly be theSCC champion. Comparing thetwo teams from the games theyplayed againstCaltech, I wouldpick Redlands as the betterteam. Both teams had luck theydidn't need, but Redlands seemedto have a better line and betterrunning backs.

After the initial change whichfollowed the establishment oflimited substitution, there seemsto be another big chance thisyear. In the days of two platoonfootball, there were always sev·eral "machines" that finished

To compete for the prizes astudent in the Chemistry or Ap·plied Chemistry option is tosubmit a research report byMonday, May 25, 1959, describ­ing an original piece of researchperformed by him. This reportis to be prepared independentlyby the stUdent, without editingby a staff member, and is todescribe the research and its sig­nificance in clear, concise lan­guage and with discriminationas to what is essential in scien­tific reports. A student may en­ter the competition even thoughthe research he is doing is notyet completed.

Judging will be done by a com­mittee appointed by the Chair­man of the Division. The basisof judgment will be the qualityof the report, and the abil­ity, initiative, and promise forfuture development which thestudent has manifested in thiswork.

The exhibition will consist ofart objects in silver and plywoodby Tapio Wirkkala, ceramicplaques by his· wife Rut Bryk,and handwoven rugs of con·temporary design by Eva Brum·mer.
