Startling

SPARKY THE PIG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE ABOVE ARTICLE. OR WITH ANY OTHER PIG. FOR THAT MATTER

by Diana FossCaltech students love to com­

plain. Of course, this isn't the sortof place that leaves people indif­ferent, yet it seems that no facet oflife at Caltech escapes from the in­tense and often negative attentionof its students. For all that,however, those who complainoften feel that they are alone intheir dissatisfation, that none oftheir feelings are shared, much lesslikely to be acted upon. This justisn't so.

Last year, Dr. Donald S.Cohen, the Chairman of the Facul­ty, called together an ad hoc com­mittee to study Caltech's admis­sions policies and procedures.Rumblings of discontent from pastand present faculty members of theadmissions committee had reacheda sufficiently high level that the ad­ministration decided that somethinghad to be done. Dr. Bruce Cain,professor of political science, waschosen to chair the committee, andDrs. John Bercaw (chemistry,)Glen Cass (environmentalengineering,) Steve Koonin(physics,) and David Van Essen(biology) formed the rest of thegroup, known to some as the"Young Turks."

In his charge to the Ad HocCommittee on Admissions Policiesand Procedures, Dr. Cohen re­quested that they "make a com­prehensive and critical review" ofCaltech's admissions process. Hewent on to say that the current ad­missions structure was "not func­tioning well" and was "badlyfragmented," and he urged them toconsider the whole range of optionsfrom minor modifications to a"radical restructuring of our entireprocess."

Dr. Cain (who happens to playtennis with Dr. Cohen) feels thathe was chosen to chair the commit­tee because he had never served onthe admissions committee before,and could look at the problems witha fresh perspective. The "YoungTurks" took their 'charge serious­ly. They started by sending lettersto everyone who had ever been in­volved with admissions at Caltechand asking for people's perceptionsof the admissions process. Theyreceived about 40 memos in return,and talked in person to everyonewho had replied.

Next, they dug around in the at­tic of Dabney Hall to find recordsand evaluations of Caltech admis­sion policies dating from the late60's and early 70's. This work byBarbara Brown was extremelyhelpful in seeing the changes overthe years in factors such as testscores and acceptance rates. Themembers of the committee alsovisited the departments of admis­sions of manv other schools tocompare their 'programs with ours

The findings and reccomenda­tions of 88-page Report of the AdHoc Committee on AdmissionsPolicies and Procedures, publish­ed in June are varied and far­reaching. The major problem thatprecipitated the formation of thecommittee was the decline in theyield (i.e. the acceptance rate) ofthose admitted to Caltech in theperiod 1982-1984. The yield isdefined as the percentage of thoseadmitted to Caltech who actuallycome. Throughout the 70's,Caltech's yield remained approx­imately at 55 %; in 1982, however,it dropped to 48 % and remained

. below 50% until this year.

The members of the committeefeel that the sharp increase inCaltech's tuition and self-help levelin 1982 was responsible for thedecline. These financial considera­tions are very important to manyprospective Caltech students, andthe increase in the yield to 52% thisyear may well be attributable to theinnovative financial packages of­fered this year, and to the fact thatthe self-help level has actuallydeclined since 1982. There is,however, evidence of an inverserelation between yeild and appli­cant quality. Stanford, for exam­ple, has a 76% yield among itslowest-rated applicants, but only47% among its highest-rated.

The committee is most con­cerned with Caltech's pool of ap­plicants and how we fare in directcompetition with our major rivals.The suggestion that some of thebest students are not applying toCaltech was heard often enough towarrant investigation. In the main,test scores of Caltech students havestayed at their traditional highlevel, with the notable exceptionsof the verbal SAT and the Englishachievement test. Before 1979, theaverage verbal SAT dropped belowonly 660 once, and the English ATdropped below 650 only once.Since then, however, the SAT ver­bal average has been above 640 on­ly twice and the English AT above640 only twice. These are minorshifts, to be sure, but they arenonetheless worrisome.

In competition with our majorrivals, we seem to have a real pro­blem. In the last decade, we weregetting 60% of those accepted byboth Caltech and MIT or Stanford,but in the 80's, we are getting onlyabout 40%. Additionally, thepercentage of the Caltech enteringclass that was rejected by MIT orStanford has also increasedmarkedly during the same period,although there are indications thatthis merely reflects the differencesin the two schools' admissions pro­cedures. MIT places greater weighton well-roundedness and personalcharacteristics than Caltech does,which may serve to reinforce thepoint that our standards are morenarrowly academic than those ofother schools.

The students who apply toCaltech are not the main problem,however. The most commonly ex­pressed concern was with Caltech'sneglect of recruitment and self­advertisement, resulting in a badimage and low or in- visibilityamong high school seniors. Aregional analysis by .BarbaraBrown in the mid-70's showed that,while we got a 70 % yield inCalifornia, the yield in NewEngland was 33 % and that in themid-Atlantic states was 48 %. Inaddition, Caltech's image aspresented by popular collegeguides is less than favorable.Negative descriptions focus on theintensity of the work, the weaknessof the HSS offerings, and theperceived absence of any sociallife. And while there is truth in allof the criticisms of student life, oneknows when one has been treatedharshly when it is said that Caltechis located in smoggy Pasadena, andOccidental in sunny southernCalifornia.

A major strength of Caltech'sadmissions process is the fact thatfaculty make the decisions concer­ning which students are admitted.Unfortunately, it is becoming more

and more difficult to get faculty toserve on the committee. The timecommitment is so demanding thatonly exceptional faculty membersfeel able to handle it. Perhaps moredisturbing is the distribution ofmembers among the divisions. Thislast year there were no biologistson admissions, and only 2 of the 17members came from Geology andPlanetary Science. Contrast this to4 out of 17 from Chemistry andChemical Engineering and a whop­ping 6 out of 17 from Humanitiesand Social Science.

There are problems with thefaculty control of the process,however. There is little coordina­tion between the various facultycommittees, and the lines ofauthority for the staff are confus­ed. Staff initiative tends to get stifl­ed by the immobilizing cacophonyof faculty voices. As a conse­quence, staff members become toocautious to undertake the recruit­ment programs Caltech so badlyneeds.

The committee's report containsa large number of good reccomen­dations. First among them is thatCaltech must develop a vigorousfall visit program, sending staff tocollege fairs and regular visits withcounselors and AP scienceteachers . We should also considera fall road show in major citieswhere we'd rent out a hotel banquetroom and meet with interestedstudents, parents, and teachers inthe area. We should particularlytarget for recruitment the majorscience schools in the country, andextend and improve our interac­tions with local high schools,perhaps expanding the SummerSchool Program.

We should target students withspecific interests and send themspecial brochures about oppor­tunities for study and research inthat field at Caltech. We shoudconsider offering merit scholar­ships to incoming freshmen andadvertising them in major sciencemagazines. Improvements to stu-

dent life itself would substantiallyimporve out image with potentialapplicants, not to mention thebeneficial effect they would haveright here at home. To that end, theAd Hoc Curriculum Committee hasbeen formed and urged to exploreways to reduce pressure onstudents and the inflexibility of thecurriculum.

Caltech's humanities offeringsare not as varied as those of otherschools, but they are in no way in­ferior in quality. A specialbrochure on HSS offerings wouldoffset the image that Caltech isweak in this area. Other aspects ofCaltech that should be speciallyemphasized in our recruitmentliterature are the SURF program,our small size, intimacy, and flex­ibility cooperation among thestudents, and the honor system. Ashuttle bus service to schools withcultural and humanistic offeringsCaltech cannot provide would be anovel way to offset our supposedlack of commitment to aspects ofeducation aside from science.

The committee also rec­comends the expansion of the 3/2program, and exploring whether itcould be extended to areas outsideof engineering.

The Faculty Admissions Com­mittee should really develop a setof written criteria for admissionsthat would be reviewed and revis­ed annually. Applications shouldbe read by more than one person.A personal rating for nonacademicinterests should be introduced, andan effort made to increase thediversity of the incoming classwithout sacrificing academic ex­cellence. Caltech should make aspecial effort to recruit students inbiology, chemistry, geology, andother underpopulated options.

A systematic, computerizedevaluation of undergraduate admis­sions and education would be in­valuable iIi formulating admissionscriteria.

Caltech should consider raisinglarge amounts of money for non-

need fellowships, reduced tuition,or reduced self-help levels to insurethat outstanding students don't tumus down because of money. Addi­tionally, the Financial Aid Com­mittee should be notified of propos­ed increases in tuition or self-helplevels early enough for them toprovide useful input.

Caltech must develop asystematic program for recruitingapplicants after they have been ad­mitted. Involvement of faculty andalumni, as well as a larger early ad­missions effort, would increase ouryield.

The confused organization ofthe admissions procedure could beeliminated by the creation of the of­fice of Dean of Admissions andFinancial Aid. The position wouldbe one of broad policy and over­sight decisions. The administrationstaff should also have the freedomand autonomy to carry out boldrecruitment plans without facultyinterference. To lessen the burdenof the faculty members of the Ad­missions coIDrnittee, they should begiven a term of teaching credit inexchange for their service. Also,every division should send at leastone representative. The Admis­sions committee should consist of10 faculty members, the Directorad Assistant Directors of Admis­sions, and the student members.

In order to insure that their rec­comendations stay in the front ofeveryone's minds, the members ofthe Ad Hoc Committee on Admis­sions Policies and Procedures planto contine meeting and remindingthe administration of their commit­ment to improving the admissionsprocess at Caltech. Dr. Caindoesn't feel he's done his job rightunless members of the administra­tion cringe when they see him ap­proach. For the sake of frosh.classes to come, let's hope the ad­ministration will do more thancringe.

To the Editor:About the Coffeehouse rumors ...

On the night after rotation ends,Monday, October 7, the' Cof­feehouse will be opening where ithas always opened at 300 S.Holliston. Take a refreshing walkaway from campus between 8 pmand midnight. Look for the redlight.

Third term last year we startedhearing rumors through thegrapevine that somebody wanted tomove the Coffeehouse intoFleming-Dabney basement. Wewere amused and we waited forsomeone somewhere to contact us.And we waited. Finally, the weekbefore finals we get official noticethat ASCIT was making a decisionthat night. THAT NIGHT! So wewent to the meeting. I wasappalled.

I didn't think people as in­telligent as Techers could getrailroaded so easily. It was a classicexample of he who has the goldmakes the rules. I found myselfbacked into a corner. The onlything I could do was poke holes in­to their arguments for moving it.Not an easy thing to do on the spurof the moment. ASCIT voted tomove the Coffeehouse. A betterdecision would have been to in­vestigate further, get estimates,draw up preliminary plans, etc.,then make a final decision. Too badnone of us thought of that at thetime.

What ASCIT wanted was astudent-centered activities complexcentrally located in a space thatcurrently isn't used. The Cof­feehouse and a game room or twowould be easily accessible to allundergrads. The move had thebacking of the administration.

ASCIT cited other reasons formoving the Coffeehouse. The

remark that graduates, as well asthemselves, should attend regularseminars on the Honor Code. Thisis a completely preposterous idea.Graduate students are adultswho've made all the relevant deci­sions on how to lead their lives. Nohonor code is applicable to them.

Now I'm afraid that as theWeek unfolds things actuallymanage to get worse. We have thespectacle of Rotation during whichthe Freshmen find out whatit is tobe a FIem, a Darb, a Page Boy, aScurve, a Lloydy or a Rudd. Soon,there will be a run at the bookstoreon those sexy red shirts with an 'F'printed suggestively on the back,a shirt which after a few weeks willbecome superfluous as the wearerby his very gait will betray thehouse of which he is a member.Similar remarks hold for the otherhouses.

Weare informed that it is goodfor a young person to feel a part ofsomething that is greater thanhimself; so that he can learn loyal­ty and team-spirit. But actually thevirtuous parts of thesecharacteristics can be learnt inmany ways. In the House systemthe bad part, namely the herd men­tality, plays a key role. Witness thepopularity of the Young Americansfor Freedom.

It is difficult to understand theevils of propaganda when one hasonly worked within one system.One of the clearest things I haveseen in my three years at Caltechis not only the magnitude of thepropaganda here and in the coun­try at large, but also that in myhome country of England. Caltechhas been enlightening for me,therefore, in more ways than justmy academic research, and I wishthe same to be true for all the in­coming students.

DELIVERANCE

To the Editor:We come to the end of pro­

paganda week. It began with thesomewhat mystical ceremonies outon Catalina Island in which thefreshman undergraduates were in­troduced to what it is to be aTecher. In particular they madetheir first acquaintance with theHonor Code. The lectures theyreceived there will not be their on­ly ones, rather they will receivethem time and time again until amaniacal zeal for them obtains.This process is one of the simplermethods for human control.

I strongly feel that if someonedoes not already have a clear ideaof how to behave within a societythen they are not yet equipped toenter a university. There may benew situations to cope with, ofcourse, but one should have a suf­ficiently strong personal ethic tomake reasoned decisions. If'grow­ing up' is still something that onehas to do then a campus is not theplace.

Honor System Why Move the Coffeehouse?Questioned

I wonder what the Institutethinks would happen if they aban­doned the Honor Code. Do theyimagine that social order wouldbreak down? If so, this is a ratherpessimistic view of human nature.Most people behave 'decently'because they perceive that to be intheir best interests.

It is true that there are tempta­tions to gain unfair advantage overone's neighbor, but it is up to eachman to weigh up the consequencesof his actions. I see no moralprin­ciple here.

I would not be wrigint this ar­ticle if I thought that the HonorCode was merely unnecessary. Itis in fact harmful, for it inculcatesself-righteousness, rather in themanner of most Christian-basedreligions. I have, for example,heard undergraduates make the

GSC Reportby Sue Larson

In May of this year, citing "recent changes in undergraduate housingand a very large incoming class of undergraduates," the Housing Officeannounced that they were complying with an "administrative decision"to make more housing available to undergraduates. Graduate studentsliving in 290 and 297 S. Holliston were asked to move from these pro­perties to allow undergraduates to move in. The Housing office offeredthe evicted students replacement housing in on-campus graduatedormitories.

Shortly after the decision to convert the two Holliston houses intoundergraduate off-campus alleys, it was announced that one of thegraduate dormitories on Holliston would be used for undergraduate hous­ing in the academic year 1985/86. In both of these decisions, neitherthe Graduate Student Council nor the Faculty Housing Committee wasconsulted. Subsequent to these announcements, the Faculty HousingCommittee recommended that additional spaces be found forundergraduaets by "converting singles to doubles and filling vacancies,"making "additional housing units available," "leasing condominium unitsor an apartment building," "using spaces in the Athenaeum," and usinggraduate housing only if necessary and only where vacancies exist. Theserecommendations were not followed.

On August 20, the Graduate Student Council sent letters to membersof the administration protesting the use of graduate housing forundergraduates, and asking for reassurances that the use of Marks Housefor undergraduates is indeed temporary. To date, no response has beenreceived.

There are now over 1000 graduate students at Caltech. Approximately500 of these can be housed in Caltech housing. (Most undergraduatesare housed in some sort of Caltech-owned housing.) Currently, 60graduate students are on the waiting list for on-campus single-studenthousing. In response to the need for graduate student housing, the con­struction of additional graduate apartments is planned. The new com­plex would consist primarily of two-bedroom apartments and would houseapproximately 150 students. Construction is slated to begin in December,1985 and to be completed in September, 1986. A multi-level parkinggarage is included in the cons~ruction plans. To clear the constructionsite (on Catalina and Wilson) 29 students (including four undergraduates)were asked to vacate their rental properties by November 1, 1985. Mostof these students have been relocated by the Housing Office to otherCaltech rental properties.

The decrease in available graduate student housing this academic yearhas perhaps most strongly affected the incoming graduate students. TheHousing Office has tried to increase both off-campus listings and theamount of temporary housing, yet some students may still be withoutsuitable housing. Anyone in the Caltech community able to provide tem­porary or long-term housing for students is asked to contact the Hous­ing Office with their listing.

Dire StraitsCal Expo AmphitheatreSacramento15 September

Dire Straits, after a two yearhiatus, released a number· onealbum t.l-tis year - Brothers in Arms.In conjunction with this album,they decided to go on their firstlarge-scale tour of the UnitedStates. (They had only visited theU.S. once before, six years ago.)You might think that a band wouldhave a few problems on their firstlarge-scale U.S. tour; after all,European crowds are so muchmore sedate and polite. (Takesoccer fans, for example - Ed.)With Dire Straits, however, thekey word was control. Quite sim­ply, Mark Knopfler had the crowdat the Cal Expo Amphitheatreunder his thumb. Never beforehave I seen a concert with so littletalk and so much control. In thisrespect, Dire Straits is utterlyamazing.

The band rolled on stage abouthalf an hour after the appointedtime with little fanfare and noopening act. Without a word, theysank straight into "Ride Across theRiver," and the crowd mesmeriza­tion had begun. This song, andevery other, was graced with aKnopfler guitar solo which cap­tivated the audience. This was pro­bably one of the quietest concertsI have ever attended, not becauseof boredom but rather because ofintense concentration. Knopfler isquite a showman.

The touring band consists ofseven members:· Knopfler,abassist, a rhythm guitarist, twokeyboardists, a drummer, and ahom/flute player. Although almosteveryone had his little solo to do,the center of attention never driftedfar from Knopfler throughout.Even with the distractions of agreat light show and intermittentfog, the eyes of th0se who staredstrayed little.

The band's repertoire held nogreat surprises (other than a ver­sion of "Wild West End," fromtheir first album). They played sixsongs from Brothers in Arms: thetitle cut, "Why Worry," "OneWorld," "Ride Across the River,""Walk of Life," and, of course,"Money for Nothing." It was onlyduring the last of these songs thatcrowd control slipped out fromKnopfler's hands. Indeed, it seem­ed as it many people at the concertwent only to hear this one song. Agood percentage of the crowd stoodup for this song, swayed, danced,sung, and generally had a goodtime. But even if Knopfler lost theupper hand at this point, he wascertainly prepared. The intro to thesong was extended, the finalcrescendo stretched out movinghigher and higher, building lots oftension in the expectant crowd. Allof a sudden, the power guitarchords of the song broke through,and a shiver of excitement andrelease traveled around through thecrowd. This song left no reason­able doubt that Knopfler knows hisaudience.

The other music played includ­ed the required "Sultans of Swing,""Private Investigations," "TwoYoung Lovers," the theme from"Local Hero," and four songs from"Making Movies." The only greatsurprise in their repertoire was thatthe band didn't make use of the

Side two opens with "Out of theShadows," a haunting piece withtoo much of a thundering backbeat.The lyrics are OK, but the song justdoesn't fly. Next comes "Easy WayOut," a song that would work muchbetter with a freer mix. This is aprime example of the overproduc­tion which plagues the album."Easy Way Out" could be a verymoving song, but the productionsaps all of its energy. Emotion can­not be so finely tuned.

The third song on this side,"Promises," falls flat for much thesame reasons. The vocals are sim­ply too mechanical and unfeelingto convey any sense of what thewriter was trying to say. "Here IAm" could also benefit greatlyfrom a better mix, but it co~sacross well as it is. Much of Saga'sformer vitality is still visible here.The ending is weak, but the songis definitely one of the best on thealbum. "Here I Am" turns into"(Goodbye) Once Upon a Time,"another hauntingly enjoyable songin need of a good mix. The lyricsare vaguely reminiscent of "TheSound of Strangers," my favoritecut from Heads or Tales.

Saga has always sounded heavi­ly produced, but never overly so.The change in producers, forwhatever reason (I suspect it isbecause of Ruper Hine's new solocareer), was a terrible mistake.Walsh obviously has no feel forSaga's music, much as Saga has nofeel for a good love song. The mixis ever too precise, the endings toodisappointing (lots of poor fades in­stead of solid conclusions). Manya song has an intriguing opening,only to drone on into tediousness.Behaviour is a disappointing albumto say the least. As a debut albumit might show great promise, butthe members of Saga are veteransby now and I don't buy albumsbecause of their producer ....

Liz is home from the hospital after the brutalshot in the throat, but sne'll never sing again. Tony and Anna will bekicked out of the penthouse if Anna can't prove that she didn't kill Klausthe crooked art dealer. Victor Popalopolos may suspect that Kim hasregained her sight and is taking her to Miami (whether she likes it ornot). Shane was right-she should have moved out while she could.

Eugene and Calliope have a plan to save Anna. Eugene is workingon his time machine while Calliope is trying to infiltrate the phony af\ring with her trendy painting techniques. Marlena and Chief Catescaught each other at the fish market trying to buy fake fish for theirtrip (no macaroni and cheese sandwiches this time).

Meanwhile, back on Green Acres, Todd finds a woman (Amy) ina haystack and she's already after his body. The fake Eva Gabor walksin on Pete and Melissa kissing in the barn and, since she thinks thatTodd and Melissa are married, tells her and Pete to tell Todd abouttheir love.

by D. MikasaThe men's water polo team

started out on a good note this year,with 13 frosh showing up forpreseason. A few of these froshhad played in high school, whichmade the team look more promis­ing. Almost all ofthe non-seniorslast year also returned, giving theteam a hope of some experienceand talent.

After two hard days of work,we traveled to University ofCalifornia at Riverside and then toRedlands. While getting soundlytrounced, 18-8 and 20-7, we didplay rather well and showed someflickers of promise. Later in theweek, a scrimmage against PCCgave us more time to play, andshowed just how good the froshmight be. Especially promising areDavin Leonard, Clark Highstrete,and Boyd Bangerter.

The second week of the seasonhas gone even better. On Tuesdaywe travelled to Rio Hondo. In ourfirst win of the season, 19-9, threeupperclassmen stood out as offen­sive threats: Hans Hermanns with6 goals, Vince Ferrante with 5, andDavid Bruning with 4. On Satur­day, with Fred Ferrante, our star­ting goalie, and Hans Hermannsoff resting at Frosh Camp, tenbrave souls traveled out to theRiverside Tournament. In our firstgame, we were defeated byRedlands 22-16 in what was real­ly a close game. Chapman Collegeprovided our next opportunity forvictory. After tying the game15-15 with 41 seconds to go, welet the last chance get away whileChapman took advantage for a16-15 victory. In the last game,we played very well against astrong Riverside team, finishingwith a 14-9 loss. Even though wedid not win, it was a promisingday. The highlight came whenVince Ferrante, who scored 19 ofour 40 goals, was named All­Tournament. Also named All­Tournament was Heidi Langenbergfor her contribution to the day.

Saturday at 10 am is the Alum­ni game, and then the next twoSaturdays are Caltech-hosted tour­naments. Hope to see you out therecheering us on.
