Lukas Foss To DiscussComposition, Improvisation
his work, Dr. Hammond waselected to the National Academyof Sciences. He has been at Caltech since 1956 and is a professor of organic chemistry. Hisappointment to the Noyes professorship was approved by theCaltech board of trustees, whichalso ratified three administrative changes disclosed today byDr. DuBridge.Other Changes
Drs. H. Frederic Bohnenblust,professor of mathematics anddean of graduate stUdies, andJesse L .. Greenstein, professor ofastroyphysics and staff memberof the Mount Wilson and Palomar Observatories, have beennamed as executive officers ofthe Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy. Theywill help share administrativeresponsibilities of the divisionwith its chairman, Dr. Carl D.Anderson.

then launch full scale into adiscussion of the Improvisationwhich occupies him so greatlynow. His Views on this subjecthold great interest to anyoneconcerned with the relationsamong composer, performer andlistener, since he feels a stronginterrelationship to be evident,with improvisation as one of themain keys to it. In the evening,with a performance from hislatest work, Echoi, Mr. Foss willdemonstrate one of the finalcompositional products of hisimprovisational experimentation.Echoi, titled "for four virtuosi,"has been referred to as the mostdifficult work to perform in allof modern music. Joining withMr. Foss in our performancewill be Charles Delancey, percussion, John Neufeld, clarinet,and Beverly Lauridsen, cello.Mr. Foss will utilize this ensemble to the greatest extent indiscussing the c rea t ion andmeaning of Echoi. ~
Recapitulation (Thursday): After a session of open discussionon any questions which havebeen raised during his visit, Mr.Foss will join with three othermen skilled in the creative artsfor a look into the necessity formodern artists to have discardedtraditional values and forms andto have forged new paths alongthis new manner. The members of this Symposium will beMr. Foss, Dr. Maurice Walsh, apsychoanalyst with great interestin creative processes, Mr. Leonard Stein, well-known pianistand expert on Schoenberg, andMr. Walter Hopps, Director ofthe Pasadena Art Museum andexpert on modern artistic trends ..Hopefully this panel will be ableto treat a number of aspects ofthis question, including reactions to comments from the floor,so that by the end of Mr. Foss'visit some insight may begleaned into the types of newartistic creations being developed and into the necessity fortheir development in order tosing "a new song."

Highlights Four Administrative Changes
President Lee A. DuBridge announced today that Dr. GeorgeS. Hammond has been appointedArthur Amos Noyes Professor ofChemistry at the California Institute of Technology.
The chair is named for thedistinguished chemist, the lateDr. Noyes, who was one of thefounders of Caltech and who atone time served as acting president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Outstanding Research
Dr. Hammond, 42, was honored with the appointment because of his outstanding workin several areas of chemical dynamics. He is especially activein the field of photochemistry,which he considers to be anenormously important means ofh a r vesting, transferring andstoring energy as well as a selective method of pro ducingchemical transformations.

Father William Lasser spoke inthe Y Lounge in Winnett Tuesday evening on Catholicism inthe second of the YMCA's serieson living world religions. Father Lasser, who was ordainedlast year at St. Bedes C.hurch,La Canada, is presently studyingfor his Masters degree in comparative religions.Based On The Bible
The first thing about Catholicism, according to Father Lasser,in fact, the first thing aboutChristianity, is that it is a wayof life through a personal commitment to God. Catholicismbases its beliefs upon the Bible,which it considers to be inspiredas far as matters concerningGod. In this book, the Catholiccan find the preparations andprophecies concerning Christ, anaccount of the life and teachingsof C.hrist, and the early actionsof the Christians,
However, Father Lasser wasquick to point out that the Biblewas not inspired in matters ofscientific observation or othermatters not concerning God.The Bible was written in a language that the Hebrews and theearly Christians could understand and believe. Even so, thescriptures are hard to understand, and therefore, one needsan authority to intrepret theirmeanings. This is the reasonfor the existance of the Church.Church As Interpreter
The Church can trace its origon to about the second centuryAD acccording to Father Lasser,and through the years there hasbeen little change in the actualChurch doctrine, in spite of theoccasional corrupt leadership atvarious times. The most directsummary of Church doctrineis the A:postle's Creed. It can

Beckman AUditorium has doneit again! Last night at a dinnermeeting of the Pasadena Beautiful Foundation in the Atheneum,Beckman was awarded a Pasadena Beautiful award for making Pasadena more beautiful.This is the third year of thepresentation of the awards,which are presented to buildingsconstructed within the last calendar year. Some of the otherwinners this year are the Catalina Branch of Citizens' Commercial Bank and Trust, the Electric Service and Supply Company, the Pacific Telephone andTelegraph Company, the Pasadena Merchants' Association, andthe Cracker Barrel Market onNorth Lake Avenue.
Beckman Auditorium is nowscheduled for dedication betweenFebruary 13 and 25; among thework yet to be done is finallandscaping, and the paintingin of the mountains and T's inthe gears recently painted on theroof.
Unfortunately, Caltech's otherrecently constructed building,the Booth Computing Center,did not receive an award at thedinner, because of some confusion on the part of the judgesas to the identities of some ofthe buildings being considered.The award intended for Boothwas presented instead to theWoods-Valentine Mortuary.
BY TIM HENDRICKSONA simulated kidnaping of a
student from San Marino HighSchool, January 8, by five LloydHouse freshmen, has m u s hroomed into an incident demanding civil and Institute action.
Wednesday afternoon at 3:00the five freshmen - Mike Beeson, Don Bell, Bill Bricken, SteveCard, and Del Ratzsch - enteredthe class which Jerry Simpson,a Lloyd House sophomore whohad flunked out of Caltech, wasattending. He had been enrolledsince Monday.
As had been planned twohours earlier, the five succeededin dragging Simpson out of theclassroom after a brief, realisticstruggle. The freshmen, underpursuit by a growing number ofhigh school stUdents, then escaped in two cars waiting outside.
According to Dr. Noel Lawrence, principal of San MarinoHigh, the incident led to no discontinuance of classes scheduledfor the remainder of the afternoon.
The prank was soon disclosed,and the story later appeared inthe Pasadena Independent andwas broadcast on radio stationKRLA.

Blacker Foundation. The Foundation dedicated itself to the selection ofworld leaders to whom it wouldpresent its Award for Leadership toward World Improvement. The Foundation is financed by anonymous contribution both from members and outsiders. This year's award is thefirst annual presentation.Stunning Award
The award carries no monetary value, but is in the formof a medallion and a scroll describing the recipient's contribution toward world improvement.The medallion is to be a bronzemedal hung from a heliotropeand vermilion striped ribbon.The medal has on it an elephanthead with two swords stuckthrough it. Around the periphery will be the words: "If thelogs in the fireplace are madeof plastic, why don't they melt?"
Little has been heard fromthe German since the GermanConsul talked to Institute officialdom. However, in a recentletter from "Ie Director du cabinet, Republique de France,"General de Gaulle declined toaccept the Foundation's honorbecause of prior engagements,etc.
The Foundation is still hopeful of presenting the award toAdenauer in the Beckman auditorium sometime near April 1.

Having been impressed by international happenings duringthe past two months, Blackerfrosh Joe Kinkade and BillSimpson wrote letters to bothDeGaulle and Adenauer informing these two leaders that theywere under consideration by theR.

At the end of last term Kin·kade and Simpson received acall from the Pasadena representative of Dun and Bradstreet,who wanted information aboutthe financial status of the Foundation. The representative, Mr.Hodiak, was referred to Mr. Axdva Virtvus and Mr. CourtleighMalthoane, officers of the Foundation.Wealth Untold
These two individuals gaveMr. Hodiak all the informationabout the Foundation's history,its organization, its $1316.24 inthe treasury, and its plan forpresenting the award to the selected leaders.

Editorials
After seemingly infinite debates on matters like a chapel,lighting, facilities, the stage and a rather unique architecture,canstruction is finally nearing completion on the new Beckman Auditorium. Tech's student body has sorely needed a newauditorium for a long time, and though Beckman's facilitiesare a serious disappointment, it will still be used frequently byASCIT and various student organizations.
Unfortunately some of the powers that be (no one knowsexactly who for sure) have decided that Caltech men areincompetent to run the lights and audio equipment in Beckman, and that this work must be done by B & G men at anyactivitiy held in the auditorium. This means paying at leasttwo B & G men either six or eight dollars an hour for an evening performance or lecture.
Most of the school groups wishing to use Beckman aregoing to be small clubs with limited budgets. If the dramaclub wanted to present the ASCIT play there this year, forexample, three performances and two rehearsals in Beckmanwould cost them at least $100 in B & G salaries alone. Sincethe drama club operates on a marginal budget, usually losinga little money and depending on an ASCIT subsidy, these costsalone would eliminate Beckman for them. The same is trueof many other student organizations.
Techmen have been running the lights and sound at almost every school function for years now, and have earned awell-deserved reputation for excellence. They are probablyjust as competent, if not more so, than the B & G men thenew ruling makes necessary. B & G can ever assure the safetyof the equipment by checking out those students who wish tooperate it, and okaying only those they feel are competent.
For the benefi t of Tech activi ties and in order to allowthe student body more access to Beckman, the restriction onstudents doing Iighting and audio work should be removedas soon as possible.
This week, as a new and interesting feature, and primarily because of a lack of material, thiscolumn is presenting a real lifeepisode from the Syracuse University Daily Orange.

a the r investigators h a v eshown that one particular kindof leukemia, chronic lymphaticleUkemia, either is not inducedat all by radiation or requireslarger doses of radiation for itsinduction than do other forms ofleukemia. If the high death ratefrom leukemia in radiologistshad been due merely to moreaccurate diagnosis of this groupof diseases in radiologists thanin the general population, thenit can be calculated that threeor four of the 12 deaths fromleukemia in radiologists shouldhave been of the chronic lymphatic type. Actually amongthe 12 deaths none was attributed to this type of leukemia.
In other words, all of the 12deaths ~re from leukemias belonging to the types believed tobe inducible by radiation. HenceDr. Lewis concluded that radiation, rather than accuracy ofdiagnosis, is probably responsible for the high death ratefrom leukemia in radiologists.

Four deaths were attributedto aplastic anemia, where 0.2, orless than one death, would havebeen expected. Aplastic anemia,when it appears in radiationworkers, is probably usually afonm of leukemia known as aleukemic leukemia, in which thereis an excessive number of whitecells in the bone marrow butnot in the circulating blood.
There were five deaths frommUltiple myeloma, com paredwith one death expected. Multiple myeloma is a cancer of theplasma cells-the cells whichmay make antibodies. This isthe first evidence that multiplemyeloma may result from radiation exposure, Dr. Lewis pointedout.

death rates from the diseasesamong radiologists cannot bedue simply to more accuratediagnosis in this group of medical specialists. It was shown

Dr. Lewis based his investigation on the death certificates of425 American male radiologists,aged 35 to 74, who had died between 1948 and 1961, and whowere certified by the AmericanBoard of Radiology.
The biologist found 21 deathsof radiologists from the threefatal diseases, whereas if thesespecialists had been subject tothe normal death rates for theirdiseases, only five deaths wouldhave been expected. '
Twelve To LeukemiaTwelve radiologists were re
ported as dying of leukemia, although the number of suchdeaths expected on the basis ofdeath rates in the general population would have been onlyfour. Leukemia is cancer of thewhite blood cells.
The study, by Dr. Edward B.Lewis of the Caltech Division ofBiology, was reported today bythe American Cancer Societywhich helped support the work.
Radiation Doses"Presumably the reason for
the high death rates among radiologists from leukemia, aplastic anemia and multiple myeloma is the accumulated dose ofradiation they receive in theiroccupation over the years," saidDr. Lewis. "These are diseasesof the blood-forming and lymphatic systems which seem tobe very susceptible to damageby radiation."
The death rate from three fatal blood diseases is three to fivetimes higher among radiologiststhan among other men, a Caltech biologist has discovered.The higher death rate apparently is due to the occupationalhazard of radiation.

however, Tech hoopsters beganto find the mark more frequent·ly and managed to close the gapto 47·22 at halftime. During thecourse of this cold streak, Techoften had six or seven shots atthe bucket but nothing seemedto drop. Pomona would then unleash one of their usually successful fast breaks. Joe Weis,scoring most of his 11 pointsduring this time, was the onlyTechman who could score consistently during this time. Whenthey did miss, Pomona was usually able to control the offensive rebounding well enough toscore before they relinquishedthe ball.
In the second half, Tech shooting, highlighted by the solidwork of Dick Burgess (who ledTech with 14 points) and thesharpshooting of John Tucker(12 points) and Vinsonhaler, began to pick up. This enabledTech to stay even with Pomonathroughout the second half andeven to close the gap to 69-49with several minutes to go. Atthat point, both coaches substituted liberally and the finalscore wound up at 83-57.

Tech started slowly and CHMwidened a lead that was asmuch as seventeen during thefirst half. At the close of thehalf, though, Tech made a closing surge and narrowed themargin to nine points at 40-3l.Only the sharpshooting of GaryDahlman and the inspired playof substitutes Charles Vinsonhaler and Leon "Goose" Thomsen kept the Beavers this close.
As the second half started,play slowed down and the Techmen began to gnaw away at theCHM lead point by point untilthe score stood 58-54 in favorof CHM with a little more thanfour minutes remaining. Unfortunately, the Techmen lostcontrol of the game at that pointand CHM quickly rattled off tenpoints to put the game on ice at68-54 with two minutes remaining. A closing surge by Techgot the margin down to five at70-65 at the final buzzer. SophJohn Tucker sparked the secondhalf rally and wound up with 11points. Dahlman led all Techscorers with 16 points.Give Me A Break
At Pomona on Saturday night,the game reminded one of theChristians being fed to the lions.Pomona unveiled a lethal fastbreak which, along with somevery cold Tech shooting (18%in the first half) enabled Pomona to open leads of 9-1, 17·5, 3111, and 43·15.

Dabney tied the score in thesecond on Larry Yeagley's homerun only to have Blacker scorefour in their half of the inning.Blacker then added five more inthe third on a spree of defensivemiscues by Dabney.
With the score 13-6 going intothe last inning, Dabney pushedacross three and had a man atthird with one out.
Despite the high score, therewere some fine defensive playson both sides. Teigland struckout six while John Eastmentand GUy Jackson sparkled ondefense for the winners. JerryGowen also played a fine gamefor the losers.

ers got behind the Blacker defenders. This and the fact thatLloyd defense was able to completely stop the Blacker offenseenabled Lloyd to gain the victory.
In the game played on Tuesday, Ruddock played Page to a6-6 tie. RUddock, moving wellwith an offense highlighted byseveral double passes and goodprotection for the passer, Murray Sherman, scored in the firsthalf. The Ruddock defense,headed by a very ham rushheld the Page offense to onlyone score. Page tied the scorelate in the first half, but couldnot get going in the second half.Ruddock muffed several scoringopportunities late in the gameand the game ended in a tie.
Blacker and Dabney met Saturday in a Discobolus softballgame that had been billed as atight defensive battle and apitching duel; instead, th scorelooked like that of a footballgame as Blacker won 13-9.

Could Be Yours
BY J. K. EVANSAll right, sports fans, since
it is no longer football season,we will still talk about football.In fact, we may talk about football all year long. There shouldbe more talk about football.Too many people waste timediscussing things like track,women, semi-infinite nonsingular spaces, Tinkertoys, women,Bahai, Christine Keeler, women,Elizabeth Taylor, and g i r 1s,when they could better be investing their time in the analysis of the sport of champions,football.Indecent Balls
I feel this is a dreadful failingin the current literature. Oncefootball season is over, everybody forgets about it un tilspring practice time. The sportspages are filled with pictures ofscrawny, anemic-looking fellowsl'unning around in their underwear, trying to fit a round ballin a round hole (this in itselfis unnerving; everyone knowsthat round balls are indecentthe only aesthetic shape for aball is oblong) or else attempting to outrun one another to thelocker room to get ready for theparty tonight, instead of pictures of fine, muscular specimens flexing their sternocleiodomastroidea in preparation todo violence upon the persons oftheir adversaries.
In fact, at this season of theyear, the doing of violence uponthe adversary seems to fall intomore or less ill repute. This, Ifeel, is another serious failing.When a fellow can't even releasehis aggression toward the littlewart who always steals the ballby pasting him in the chops witha good forearm, things have cometo a sorry pass. It is this sortof restraint upon the natural inclinations and needs of the nor·mal red-blooded American boythat causes so many of today'sdeplorable crimes of violence.Feel Better Again
A fellow spends two hours being frustrated at every turn,having the ball taken from himby both small agile men and tallclumsy ones; he cannot relievehis frustration by cheerfullybusting somebody in the chops;so he goes out after the gameand knocks over a liquor storeand right away he feels goodagain.
Who can blame the poor boyfor his natural need to releasehis inner tensions? He is, infact, avoiding neurosis by hisaction; were he merely to grinand bear it, he would be a seetheiing cauldron of tangled emotions, prone to kick dogs, snarlat little old ladies, and rape virgins just out of spite., Instead,he is a healthy, well-adjustedjuvenile delinquent. And allthis might have been avoided ifhe were just allowed to clobberthe little bum..Sport of Sports
And so, sports fans, remember this: if you would save yourdogs from kicking, your littleold ladies from snarls, your liquor from misappropriation, andyour daughters from a fateworse than death, you must actnow. Do away with these pseudosports and return to yearround prominence the sport ofstrength, skill, cleverness, andabove all, violence, football.

But he came to Cal tech's Jet Propulsion Laboratory on
purpose. How? When he was two months away from his
Ph. D., the JPL interviewer came to his school. Our Ph. D.-to
be made it a point to see him. And he liked what he heard.
He heard how JPL scientists and engineers are designing
the spacecraft and instruments destined to drop in on our
moon and planets. He heard about the many facilities housed
at JPL's J50-acre Pasadena complex. And he found out about
the talented people he'd work with in space exploration.
Now we don't suggest that every Ph. D.-to-be we inter
view will come to JPL. But we do suggest that such an
interview could be your opportunity of a lifetime.
