Sign -up sheets for interested students can be found on the east side of theDRL Office. The deadline for sign-ups is Monday, November 14.

Both events will start simultaneously and

use the same run course, an out-and-back

5k on the all-dirt trails of the Arroyo.

Those individuals competing in the

duathlon will then have approximately

10 minutes before the bike portion be­

and one cyclist), so cyclists, if you don't

have a team, show up race day to find

your match. Drafting is strictly illegal for

the bike portion. Several roving motor­

cycles will enforce this rule, with fines of

up to $5000 and/or 400 hours ofcom­

munity service. Helmets are required for

the bike portion (seriously). Merchandise

there are "absolutely no plans" on Jhe

table to regulate domestic encryption

"at the present time." He wouldn't

comment, however, as to whether the

Administration would back an FBI

attempt for such legislation. "Freeh

doesn't seem to need a lot of White

House support," to get things done,

the official said.

FBI sources said any moves to

approach Congress about regulating

private encryption are "so far out

there" time wise, that the subject

"doesn't merit much ink," as one FBI

source put it. "We've got to make sure

the telcos rig up their current net­

works according to the new [digital

wiretap] law before we go worrying

about private encryption stuff," he

said.

An FBI spokesman confirmed

Freeh's position that the Bureau

would aggressively seek to maintain

what the spokesman called "law and

order objectives." If that meant get­

ting laws passed so that the Bureau's

"authorized wiretap activities"

couldn't be thwarted by "criminal el­

ements using non-governmental"

encryption schemes, "then that's

what he [Freeh] would do," the

spokesman said.

When the Administration went

public with its Clipper Chip policy,

it stressed that the program would be

not mandatory. Many civil liberties

groups wondered out loud how long

it would be before private encryption

was banned altogether. The White

House, anxious for the public to buy

into its one-trick pony the Clipper

Chip, said that wouldn't happen.

But the Administration hedged

its bet.

Washington, DC - If private

encryption schemes interfere with

the FBI's ability to wiretap, they

could be outlawed, according to re­

cent comments made by the agency's

Director Louis Freeh.

Freeh told attendees here at the

recent conference on Global Cryp­

tography that if the Administration's

Escrowed Encryption System, oth­

erwise known as the Clipper Chip,

failed to gain acceptance, giving way,

to private encryption technologies,

he would have no choice but to press

Congress to pass legislation that pro­

vided law enforcement access to *all*

encrypted communications.

If, after having pushed Digital

Telephony through Congress (which

hadn't yet happened when Freeh

spoke at this conference), all the

Bureau ended up with during wire­

taps were the scratchy hiss of digital

one's and zeros being hurled back

and forth, Freeh made it dear that

he would seek a congressional man­

date to solve the problem.

In other words: Roll your own

E VE RU OVER CO FERE CESPORTS

by Dan Kleiman

Capping off a year which fea­tured the emergence of individualstars, the entire women's cross coun­try team shared the spotlight at lastSaturday's SCIAC championshipmeet. A solid team effort earnedCaltech yth place in the conference,

while solid individual efforts ledmany of the runners to both personalbests and All-Conference honors.

Senior Ginger Garcia, Caltech'sonly senior running in the meet, seta perfect example for her teammatesby covering the five kilometer coursein 21: 19, her fastest time ever. Shewas followed by Radhika Reddy and

Karen Bletzer, who raced through thefield to finish in times of 23: 15 and23:24, respectively. These perfor­mances were complemented by SaraBeaber, who finished 13th, earningsecond team All-Conference honors,and Cailin Henderson, whose 7thplace finish qualified her for the All­Conference team.

Their fifth place performance, aswell as the individual performance ofmany of the women at the leaguechampionships, reflect the successenjoyed by the women's team thisyear. While many Caltech teams arecontent merely to compete, the Bea­ver runners have shown throughoutthe season that they can beat most

teams on any given day. Thepostseason begins for Caltech onNovember 12th as the top sevenwomen race at the NCAA DivisionIII Western Regional in Chino. Topfinishers would move on the the Na­tional Championships in Lehigh, PA.

Beavers were mired near the back ofthe pack for the first two miles beforethey started to make their move. Apack of five continued to pass otherswithout getting passed back. In thefinal 600m, four Beavers dusted aWhittier runner with their kick. Theharsh and unfortunate truth was that

Whittier's 5th man had already comein ahead of the Caltech 2nd-6th manpack ofSchuyler Cullen (44th, 28:59),Tom Meyer (46th, 29: 16), Ron Stieger(48th, 29:23), Tom Dmukauskas(49th, 29:24) and Chris Cary (50th,29:27). Thus it was not to be for theBeavers on this crisp autumn day asWhittier defeated them 142-173 andput them in 7th place in the confer­ence for good this year.
