The fundamental points ofthis electron transfer theory werefirst presented in a key paper whichhe wrote in 1956 at the PolytechnicInstitute ofBrooklyn after puzzlingover a graduate student's math­ematical problem.

As Fred Anson, head of theChemistry Department, stated,"Before [Marcus' theory], peoplecouldn't understand why particularreactions went fast or slow evenwhen they had similar drivingforces. He pointed out the factorsthat determined the rate and madeaccurate predictions."

He is the firstfaculty member of Caltech to be­come a Nobel Laureate in nearly adecade - since William A. Fowlerreceived the Nobel prize for Phys­ics in 1983.

#3. Iraq-gate: Just bow much did we belp Saddam?George Bush likes to pretend we "did not enhance Saddam Hussein's

nuclear, biological or chemical weapons capability," despite mountingevidence that dual-use American technology helped him in his bid toacquire weapons of mass destruction.

George Bush maintains he was unaware of any diversion of loans toIraq and yet we now learn that his Administration had direct evidence ofdiversions of loans made through the Atlanta based branch of BNL buttried to cover them up. Marvin Shoob, the US District Judge in the BNLcase said, "Certainly, either the CIA or the Justice Department or bothhave misled me." (LAT, 10/13/92) It is time George Bush came cleanwith the American people on his role in Iraqgate.

The Questions:What's he hiding? What are we going to find out after November 3?Why won't George Bush release the key documents that would reveal

just who was doing what with Saddam up to the eve of .the invasion ofKuwait? These documents include: ,

eThe transcript of the cables between the Administration and USAmbassador April Glaspie revealing U.S. messages to Saddam.

eThe text of National Security Directive 26 ordering closer politicaland economic ties with Iraq.

eThe text of George Bush's personal communique to Saddam Husseinon July 28, 1990 five days before the invasion.

IfGeorge Bush thought he was doing the right thing by trying to bringSaddam Hussein into "the family ofnations," why won't he come clean?

#1. "Stategate": Who Asked for Wbat?Wednesday's Washington Post reveals that, in a last-ditch attempt to

smear Bill Clinton's character, the Bush Administration has been actinglike the Nixon Administration. The Post reports that a Bush Administra­tion political appointee directed the U.S. embassies in London and Osloto search their files on Bill Clinton.

The Post characterized the requests, by Assistant Secretary ofState forConsular Affairs Elizabeth Tamposi, as "unusual," and said that theyreceived "extraordinarily high-level attention." Passport files are - asthe State Department's own director of its Freedom of InformationOffice, Frank Machak maintains - "covered by the Privacy Act."(Washington Post, 10/14/92)

The State Department, in a policy statement sent to the NationalSecurity Archive in Washington D.C., notes that FOI requests areexpedited only in "truly exceptional circumstances." These circum­stances include: "(1) whenever it is demonstrated that an individual's lifeor personal safety would bejeopardized by the failure to process requestsimmediately, and (2twhenever it is shown that substantial due processrights of the requester would be by the faBure to processimmediately, and that the information sought is not otherwise available."(Letter to National Security Archive, 11/22/91; attached. )

The Questions:Who approved these approve "unusual" searches of Bill Clinton's

passport files?Were the searches reported to Tamposi's superiors in the State Depart­

ment and if so, who? Were the searches reported to anyone in the WhiteHouse or the Busb/Quayle campaign? .

How will Bush determine who is responsible, and what actions will hetake against them?

Is this search connected to Bush's secret White House meeting withextreme right wing Republican Congressmen like Bob Doman to planpolitical attacks on Bill Clinton's trips to Eastern Bloc countries?

Which of the State Department's two FOI criteria for expedited searchdid this request meet?

Will the· Administration come dean and immediately release allmaterial related to the FOIA requests and State Department searches?

said Tuesday night that rings of the truth. His boss, George Bush, shouldtell the truth. Mr. Quayle added: "You cannot lead this great country ofours by misleading the people." Right again.

So in the interest ofuncovering the truth and setting the record straightbefore the American people vote, here are a few topiCS and questions thatGeorge Bush ought to tell the truth about.

The first and most important itemon the agenda is Canadian Club'srequest for their term check. Derekgets his $50. By the way, the duescheck from Student Accounts hasnot arrived yet, so do not cash yourASCIT checks yet.Little 't': Little 't' is out and it isunder budget. The gang submits thefinancial report and requests theapproval of their salaries. Althoughthe little '1' arrived one day late, theBOD is very pleased with the pub­lication. (Goodjob, guys! But, don'tplay connect the umlauts for toolong!) The motion is to pay theeditors $200 each and give all three

- $300 bonus. The BOD passes thefirst motion of the year (5-0-0).CLUE: Debi explains all the prob­lems they encountered in the publi­cation of the CLUE. So, now weknow why the page numbers weremessed up. However, this year'sCLUE was $2000 cheaper than lastyear's, with the same number ofpages. Student Affairs is supposedto pay for the cost. As for the sala­ries, Rob offered $100 of his salaryto Debi, since she did all the pub­lishing stuff. The BOD approves topay Rob $300 and Debi $100 (5-0­0).Wellness Week: The Health Cen­ter is organizing it this year. It isgoing to be the week ofOctober 19­23. They will have all this biofeed­back-relaxation stuff and free mas­sages. They are asking for $500from ASCIT. Hey, you might aswell participate'causewe approvedtheirrequest (5~1-0).Parties: Derek is planning to havetheHalloweenparty at the newgym.Sounds like a good idea but, DanBridges needs to approve it. Also,

Present are the BOD (minus Todd,Ben,Rob),DebiTuttle, Cathy Hafer,Little 't' gang (Laurent, Jill, Paul),Steven Fought, Ewald Hueffmeierand one silly clueless frosh.

We are back!...And we are richerthan ever. ASCIT has a new van-inaddition to the old one- and a newsound system (right, Fru?). How­ever, over the summer, we lost oneof our members (moment of si­lence). Rob Ellis, Academic Direc­tor for Academic Affairs, is nolonger a student so, I guess it'selection time. Get to work, Ewald!

Only six BOD members arepresent for the first meeting of the

view of the core curriculum. Aca­demic Policies Committee is incharge of the review. While somefaculty members are proposingsome minor changes, some thinkthat broader changes need to bebrought. They are not happy withthe students' concern about grades.They think maybe the school needsto get rid of grades. This wholeargument stems from what theInstitute's education philosophyshould be.Committees:I have put signups forthe Academic Policies, Grievanceand Athletics committees outsidethe ASCIT Meeting Room(next tothe DRVs Office). Also, theWomen's Center needs oneundergrad on its Advisory Boardand one on its Director SearchCommittee. There are also signupsfor these.

However, thegrandfather clause-you know, theone about being. able to graduateunder any catalog while you're atCaltech- will probably be put in thecatalog. However, this still has to beapproved by the Curriculum Com­mittee and the Faculty Board. Stevewill stlll be runningaround,lookingfor an explanation.

The California Shakespeare Fes­tival will present "The TwoGentlemen of Verona",Shakespeare's comedy of infatua­tion, rivalry and unbridledjealousy,on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 8 p.m. inBeckman Auditorium.

One of Shakespeare's earliestromantic comedies, "The TwoGentlemenofVerona" tells the storyof Valentine and Proteus, bestfriends whose relationship isstrained when they vie for the handof the lady Silvia. Love and loyaltyare tested with the arrival ofJulia, Proteus' first love. DirectorPenny Metropulos adds a touch of19th-century romanticism to thiscomic adventure by setting it in thedays of Byron,Shelley and Keats.

This production features JayKarnes as Valentine and MorganStrickland as his fickle rival, Pro­teus. Susan Patterson will play theobject of their desire, Silvia, withStacy Ross as the love-sick Julia.Scenery is by Jeff Hunt, with lightsby David K Elliott and costumes byBarbara Bush.

Tickets are available at theCaltech Ticket Office. Call x4652for more information.

"The Two GentlemenofVerona" willbepresentedbythe California SkakespeareFestival on Saturday, Oct. 16at 8p.m. in BeckmanAuditorium.

This is by far the most polishedproduction ever put out byNegativland, one of this decade'smost controversial and experimen­tal underground bands. Althoughnot a punk band, Negativland hasbeen as heavy an influence on thehardcore scene as Nomeansno andNoFx, two bands with much fasterand concert-oriented sounds.

Negativland debuted in 1980witha self-titled LPpressedundera smallindependent label in the Bay area,the home of the Negativland crew.This first album was a very limitededition packaged in wallpaper, andwas musically shaky enough tocompare with the eady CabaretVoltaire sound experiments madeten years earlier in England. In­spired by John Cage's work and byan intense dislike of mass media,Negativland soon gained a reputa­tion for repeatedly being sued andkicked off record labels for illegalsampling. Yet it was their least con-

troversial song, The Answer Is, offtheir second record Points, whichwas the first tune to hitcollege radioplaylists.

Points was Negativland's easiestto find record, until Island recordswas sued and forced to recall anddestroy all of the copies it couldrecover. It turns out that Pointscontained an anti-U2 song that in­furiated Bono so much that thebandmembers filed a lawsuit resulting inIsland Record's permanent rejec­tion of Negativland. This has actu­any been a good thing forNegativland fans. SST picked upNegativland, and managed to get aguest appearance by JelloBiafra fortheir· 1987 album, Escape FromNoise. Not bad for something thatisn't a D.C. compilation.

Some of the tracks on the newalbum, Guns, are actually danceable.Carl Car Bomb could actually beplayed in clubs, and the title trackhas already been played more onmajor radio stations than all of

.Negativland's earlier material. ButNegativland have lost none of theiredge. If you are getting sick of theEast Bay scene and want to return tosome of the eighties underground'strue roots, throwaway that fanzineand step into Negativland:

hearts. Being agreeable, I playa heart to the Jack, which loses to theKing. She returnsa heart and I playa third ro1,lnd, East showing out this time and playingthe flo 5, requesting a club shift. Being agreeable, I cash the flo A andplayanother club. East wins this with the Jack. West followed with the Nineand Ten on the fust two rounds. After a little thought (half a second isan eternity for this pair,)Jill exits with the flo Q. I ruff in dummy, pitching a diamond from handwhile West plays the King. This looks to be a true card, especiallyconsidering the previous spots. I continue with a diamond to the Queenwhich holds, and the 0 10, which gets the last small diamond fro~West.

The whole hand is now known except for two cards. Who has the 0A, and who has the 0 J? What clues are there? How about the bidding?1 check their convention card. Voila! They are playing 10-12 INTopenings.! doublecheck about this andfind that they only play those notvulnerable, otherwise, they play 15--17 and 2 Over 1 Game Force. Somuch for that. How about the opening lead? The~ J is a very dangerous 'lead. (I always ask for unsupported trump honor leads, but this time 1wish they hadn't.) This suggests that she had a dangerous holding in theside suits from whi<;:h to lead. Jxx and Axx are both terrible leads intoa strong notrump, so that is inconclusive. Additionally, after we havepossibly struggled into game on a 4-4 fit, a trump lead is often best,so I don't know how much inference I can draw from this. What aboutthe defense so far? They have defended well, I am afraid, and it wouldhave been a masterstroke to duck the 0 Q fromAxx, buttrivial fromJxx.Grumble. I wish that I did not have this problem with the event on theline. .

Finally, I decide that perhaps West would have bid with an ll-counta~d a five-card major, and run the Ten. Wrong. Down one. We end upfifth. If I play the King, we win the event. Nice defense.

(Emphasis added)

Islamic scientists and philosophers represented the state-of-the-artin the world in their respective areas. Al-Kindi, in the ninth century,drew up a classification of the sciences and wrote two treatises onmineralogy and one on metallurgy. Hunanyn ibn Ishaq translatedthree dialogues of Plato, four works of Aristotle, fifteen books ofHippocrates, and no less than ninety works of the second-centuryGreekphysician Galen. Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) wrote the compre­hensive Book on Optics, which was translated into Latin in 1572 andinspired the studies of Roger ~acon and Witelo.

The foundations of Islamic, and Western, algebra were laid downby Al-Khuwarizmi, very name has produced the word algo­rithm. Islamic scientists introduced the concept of zero in arithmeticby combining the system of reckoning with the nine Arabicnumerals.
