with Moss's pretty lab assistant,Remarkably enough, his aura wassoon seen shining brilliantly.

Moss has also investigated theKirlian effects of plants. She Ipsdemonstrated the feasibility ofdiscrimination between live anddead seeds by coronaobservation, and has observed abrilliant corona flare in the areasof high metabolic activity ingerminating seeds. One of themost interesting effects sheclaims is the so-called "phantomleaf phenomenon", in which theKirlian image of' a leaf shows thepresence even of pieces of theleaf which have been removed. Ittook her group "thousands" ofexposures, to achieve results, butthe film she did present was verysUcggestive. Like the flaring of theauras of germinating plants inregions of growth, the phantomleaf phenomenon seems to becorrelated with high metabolicactivity as it is most easily seenin the spring.-

"Chiron" is the namesuggested by its discoverer for"Obje~t-Kowal," thecategory-defying heavenly bodydiscovered circling the sun byHale Observatories astronomerCharles Kowal. In mythology,Chiron was one of the leadingmembers of the group ofcentaurs, which were, half-man,half horse creatures. Accordingto Mr. Kowal, should more suchobjects be discovered, they couldbe named after other centaurs.Chiron was known in Greekmythology as the son of Kronos;Kronos in Roman mythology wasknown as Saturn. Thus, said Mr.Kowal, the name Chiron isappropriate because the orbit ofChiron lies between Saturn andUranus. The name will now besubmitted to the InternationalAstronomical .Union for officialsanction.

It is still far from settled,however, whether Chiron shouldbe considered a planet, a newclass of asteroid, or a, deadcomet.

Brian Marsden of theS mithsonian AstrophysicalObservatory has also computed arefined orbit for Chiron, drawingQn Kowal's latest detection ofthe object on photographic platesKowal made of the sky atPalomar Observatory in 1969,eight years before he discoveredthe object on November 1, 1977.After the November discovery,astro nomers determined that theobject was about 100 to 400miles across, about the diameterof the largest asteroids. It couldnot "be classed as an asteroidbecause" by defmition, they areobjects circling the sun betweenthe orbits of Mars and Jupiter.The object was like a planet interms of its orbit, but was farsmaller than the known planets.Thus, astronomers would have toclarify their defmition of aplanet in determining the statusof the new object.

The new orbital calculationsindicate that Chiron's orbitcrosses that of Saturn and almostContinued on page seven

Balance (andcorona magnitude) are resturedto normal with the placement ofacupuncture needles, and theeffect persists after the needlesare removed. Corona emissions innormal fmgers may also bestimulated or depressed byplacement of needles in pointstraditionally known as sedationor tonification points.

Dr. Moss also presentedevidences of Kirlian-detectableeffects of the state ofconsciousness. Magnetic passesmade by John HUbacher, ahypnotist and mesmerist, wereshown to depress the coronadischarge of a human subject andalso to preserve both freShnessand corona of a chrysanthemum.The auras of the hands offaith-healers reliably (2000examples) show a red-yellowflare dUring the healing process,and the auras of Indian yogisshow a similar excitation whenthey are asked to "energize"themselves. Kirlian photographsof the juxtaposed fingers ofarguing people sometimes show acorona "barrier" between thetwo, the auras seeming to fleeeach other, and the aura of oneor the" other often disappears'entirely. III contrast, peoplefeeling affectionate toward eachother may show coronas with"intertwined arcs.

Family portraits often showsome intriguing effects. Thecoronas of the parents areusually strongly joined, with thechildren often isolated andsomewhat dimmer. One son'saura showed strong tendrilsreaching toward the coronarepresenting his mother. The sonwas aged 6. "Prime time forOedipus." commented Dr. Moss.In one family group, a 17 yearold son repeatedly failed to makeany impression on the plate.

Acupuncture, Auraand Energy Bodies

Dr. Thelma Moss during her talk on internal energy. Photo by Don Bacon

By Richard Willson"It seems strange to be at

Caltech," said Dr. Thelma Moss"because we all know you don'tbelieve most of this." Dr. Moss, amedical psychologist at UCLA'sNeuropsychiatric Institute.lectured Wednesdaynight on th~subject of Acupuncture andKirlian photography.

Dr. Moss began with adiscussion of the original westerndismissal of acupuncture as anunusually deep state of hypnosismade possible by fanaticdevotion to the personality andteachings . of Chairman Mao.Acupuncture was laterdemonstrated to work onanimals, who "are not known' tocarry copies of the Red Book."The true mechanisms ofacupuncture are as yet not wellunderstood, but are ascribed bysome to the existence of an"Astral" or "Energy" body. TheEnergy' Body would consist ofthe "field around the physical"and also might, when disturbed,be the original locus of disease.

One manifestation of theEnergy Body is an internalenergy flow which is mostintense at the electrodermal, oracupuncture points. These pointshave been detected through theuse ofa sensitive galvanometerby Soviet investigators whosework was inspired by a Chinesedefector, a doctor who hadcompleted three years ofacupuncture COurses in additiollto his western-style medicaltraining. Soviet workers have alsoinvestigated the ", possibletreatmept of epileptic seizuresand arthritis through application'of a laser beam to" appropriateacupuncture points. UCLAinvestigators have alsodemonstrated the therapeuticeffects of application ofhletacycle frequencies to thesesame points.

Dr. Moss then presented amm entitled "Explorations inKirlian Photography," of whichshe is the principle originator.Kirlian photographs," made bypassing microamp currents at 3to 20 KV potentials, through t,hesubject and then through -mm'

Winnett Stereo...Installation is Months Late

To the Editor:On or about October second

of last year (1977), a stereotuner and amplifier arrived atWinnett Student Center. Thesewere promptly turned over toAudio-Visual with instructionsthat a security cabinet was to beconstructed for them and for theturntable already in Winnett.

Audio-Visual, of course, gavethe specifications for the cabinetto the carpentry shop and askedthat construction be started assoon as possible. By roughly themiddle of October,' the necessarypaperwork had been completed,and it was expected that thecarpentry shop would shortlyhave the cabinet ready forinstallation. There followed along period of silence from thecarpentry shop, and now, aboutthree months later, the cabinetstill has not been installed,although the shop promisesinstallation as of next Monday.Once again the double standardapplied at the Caltechcommonity becomes apparent.The responsible personnel in theshop, presumably competentprofessionals (after all, would theInstitute hire anyone who is notreasonably competent?),obviously are not accountable toanyone for such .unreasonabledelays. If they were, they wouldhave made several reports (atleast one per month) on theprogress of the project. The mostcomparable analog to thissituation for students is a projectlab, where weekly reports areexpected to be made regardingthe progress of the project. Astudent so remiss as to let an

With regard to the scrap-metal and concrete barricade ofthe Olive Walk, there is good news and bad news. First, asthey say, the good news: the Pasadena Fire Department hasinformed the Safety Office that there is no way that theirfire-engines can fit between the "planters", and so the OliveWalk Scrap-Yard Inc. will have to be removed. '

The fact that it has not already departed seems toindicate that the Administration cares more about keepingthe Walk pristine than having an open fire lane to thestudent houses.

Now, however, the bad news: this setback has notprompted the Administration to get out of the Railroadbusiness. In fact, it has only caused them to think in largerterms. The new plan calls for "traffic control posts" to bestuck in the David R. Smith Memorial Ramp, nearSpalding , not only keeping' people off the Immortal Walk,but also keeping them off the Quad as well.

Since the Administration has not deigned to explainwhat is going on and why, r assume that they feel that we,the students, need not be bothered about, but I supposethat if we act like good little kiddies, they mightcondescend to let us on the Quad twice a year to moveinto and out of this place.

Itwould benefit the sciencestudents here to have a betterHumanities Division and anupgraded, and separate, SocialSciences Division.

expanded HSS Division, thatshouldn't be as much of aproblem as we are led to believe.Our PS/SS professors arereputedly excellent, as evidencedby the offer fromCarnegie-Mellon last year toessentially buy our Social ScienceDepartment. The future of theHSS Division at Caltech will alsobe greatly influenced by thechoice of a new divisionchairman. It would be too bad ifwe were not able to attract a topnotch person to chair HSS.(However, considering thetrouble we seem .to be havingfinding a preSident, it might wellbe impossible.)

One of these days the FacultyCommittee on the Size of theInstitute, formed last year, willfinish its work and release itsreport. And, unfortunately, itsrecommendations are predictable:they will recommend little or nochange in tlle size of the studentbody.

Five years ago a similarcommittee recommended thatthe size of the entering freshmanclass be fixed at 220, and tenyears ago the ad hoc committeeon Aims and Goals alsorecommended little change in thesize of the student body. Ofcourse, there was a minority oneach committee that felt thatCaltech should growsubstantially; some went as far assuggesting an undergraduate sizeof 3000.

There were several reasons theminority felt as they did. Moneywas one. However, the mostcommon reason was that thesemembers felt that Caltech shouldexpand by enlarging its socialand behavioral sciences programand its Humanities and SocialSciences Division. After relativelyeasy to solve problems are takencare of (such as too littleclassroom space) the mainobjection to that is that we haveno assurance that theseprogram , which would drainmoney from Caltech's moretraditional programs, could begotten up to the standardspresently maintained by Caltechin science and engineering.

Tllis is certainly true. Toexpand the HSS Division and thebehavioral sciences would berisky. The Caltech community,faculty and students, is terriblyresistant to change, and changewhich incurs some risk becomesout of the question. This is toobad, -for it limits the Caltechstudent severely. Despite all theliterature mailed to prospectivefreshmen, Caltech does not havean adequate HSS division.
