"I assume," he said, "that the President wants to talk with the Russians." He pointed out, however, that Reagan's nuclear policies have been "very different" from those of Nixon, Ford and Carter. Reagan, unlike his predecessors, has believed that the V .S. needed a nuclear buildup before talks could begin, and he "sees the Soviet Vnion as the source of all the Vnited States' problems." When asked whether the President's policies have made the V.S. mainland more secure, Brown judged that the key fac- tor was the likelihood of a full- scale nuclear exchange. He pointed out that despite the massive arms buildup of the last four years, few new weapons have yet been put in place. "Therefore, if we're secure now, we were secure then," he concluded. "I would not say that we'rejarther [from nuclear war], but I never thought we were very close." In his talk, Brown stated that military research could be either "stabilising" or "destabilising." In his opinion, SDI would be a destabilising project. Brown implied that if nuclear weapons did not exist, the V.S. could have returned to its isolationist pre-war policies. America would still be a super- power with great influence in the world, he judged.

To the Editor:As a concerned student, I
was very interested to hearwhat Miss Solberg had to sayin her letter detailing recentASCIT activities.
One cause of inactivity, asshe cited, was the fact thatASCIT was broke from payingbills. She indicates that studentbody irresponsibility (ratherthan BOD irresponsibility)caused a $5000 loss on theWATS phone line. The loss occurred through unpaid billsand use of false accountnumbers. As managers of theWATS line, the BOD shouldnot have a 2-month or morebilling delay (which leads tounpaid bills over the summer),and the WATS line billing codeshould automatically screennon-existent ID numbers. Afterstraightening up the mess simply by footing the bill, ratherthan cleaning up billing delaysor fixing the ID loopholes,Miss Solberg contends that "we

The 1984 election prospectsand its long-term implicationsare currently looking prettydepressing to many of us, asthe polls indicate that the majority of Americans hold muchmore conservative views thando the majority of Columbiastudents.

appears to be a remainingstronghold of liberalism andstudent activism as our national liberal-conservative pendulum continues in itsrightward swing.
I say "appears" since mycredibility is limited by sixweeks of experience here and adefinite liberal bias. Nevertheless, there are some thingsabout a place that can becomeevident in a short time.
Though by no meansunanimous, the liberal sentiment does exist in a definitemajority among students,faculty, and administration; itapplies to campus, nationaland world issues.
Recent concern in campuspolitics has centered on Columbia's South African investmentsand relations among minoritygroups. Local issues like thesegenerate dialogue and editorialsin the student newspaper, aswell as organized discussionsand demonstrations. The SouthAfrican issue has been aroundlong enough that a single-issueorganization exists to battle theTrustees on it.

I really appreciated thechance to experience that totally different world from ours. Ialso thought it would be a niceidea to return the favor and invite two workers from the factory to work at Caltech for 3months. If they didn't comeduring the first term, it wouldseem reasonable that therewould be room for them inCaltech housing. If you are ina position where you could offer someone a job for about 3months, I know some peoplewho would really like to seeAmerica. What I had in mindwas a job in one of Caltech'smachine shops or labs. Not being able to speak the languageis really not a big problem.

I pointed up into themountains, and he saidsomething in Japanese which Icouldn't understand. I kind ofknew what he was saying.(Translated it soundedsomething like: "Hey, what'swrong with you?

students here doesn't necessarily lead to significantly largerclass sizes, since the studentshave such diverse academic interest and, for many topics,honors or intensive sequencesare offered. Faculty do seem tobe more distant from theundergraduates than was thecase at Caltech. Professors areusually available only duringtheir specified office hours,typically two to four hours perweek.
Another big difference between Columbia and Caltech isthat there is no honor systemhere. The size of the Universityand the laissez-faire attitude ofthe administration makes sucha system unworkable here.Consequently, all tests are proctored and access to many services and facilities on campusrequires special priviledges.
Of course the flip of thisbigness is that there is moreavailable here than at smallerschools. There exists thecritical number of peoplenecessary for many studentorganizations to form and existstably from year to year, including two daily studentnewspapers and a full-timeradio station. There are morecourses available which not only cover a wide range of topicsbut also often treat the sametopics from different perspectives. The University also offers tremendous resources; Columbia's libraries comprise thesixth largest academic librarysystem in the country.
So with the bigness of theUniversity come advantagesand disadvantages. It is for theindividual to decide at whatsize the ideal balance is struck.

which reached its clearest ex·pression in the writings of thedogmatic Dr. Siegbert Tarrasch, taught that occupationof the center, especially bypawns, was a principal goal ofcorrect opening play. Around1910, chafing under the restrictions imposed by this narrowviewpoint, a group of youngmasters headed by Breyer,Reti, and Nimzovich began toargue that control of the centerwas really the issue. Theydeveloped heretical openingsystems in which the opponentwas invited to set up a broadpawn center, in the hope that itcould later be undermined bypressure from the flanks. Tar·takower jokingly called thesenew ideas "hypermodern"; therebels liked the term and thename stuck.

Jazz Review
by John FourkasSteps AheadMODERN TIMESElektra Musician Records
As 1984 draws all tooquickly to a close, I find myselfready to cast a tentative votefor The Best Jazz Album of theYear. The preliminary awardgoes to Steps Ahead for theirlatest album, Modern Times.
For those of you who (forsome strange reason) are unacquainted- with Steps Ahead, Iwill give a short history of theband and their music. StepsAhead (nee Steps) was born in1979 at Seventh Avenue South,a New York City jazz nightclub. The band quicklygathered a large following inNew York and Japan (wheretheir popularity was greatenough to warra'1t cuttingthree albums for Nippon Columbia). In 1983, the bandmade their international debutwith the album Steps Ahead,featuring Michael Brecker(tenor sax), Peter Erskine(drums), Mike Moinieri (vibesand marimba), Eddie Gomez(bass), and one new member,Eliane Elias (piano). Thealbum, which features amodern approach to traditionaljazz using traditional instruments, met with critical acclaim and popular approval.The new musical style wasquite refreshing. The semiimprovisational songs,highlighted by daring basswork and innovatIve sax solos,were a welcome relief from thehundred-mile-an-hour trumpetsolos, raucous saxophone, anduninspired guitar work whichwe have come to expect frommodern jazz.
While Steps Ahead was awelcome fresh breeze, ModernTimes is a consummate masterpiece which blows the listeneraway. Warren Bernhardt hasreplace Eliane Elias onkeyboards and, as the album title might suggest, has broughtan electronic sound with him.While such an addition hastraditionally weakened themusical structure of many jazzbands, opening the door to unproductive, ruinous innovations (take Miles Davis, for example), the music of Steps

His new book FlimFlam: The Truth AboutUnicorns, Parapsychology andOther Delusions, covers thefield, from biorhythms toUFOs.

Going back to the fundamental equation, he thendefined vectors and vectoranalysis. All waterpolo vectorsmust cross and thus create apick, then backstroke back totheir initial positions, in orderthat they might go again. Hedefined the zero-vector to be acomplacent or non-driver.Then he ran into a contradiction. The result of a naturaloperation on a vector is akickout, but our man-up offense results only in a lost opportunity. Thus, applying thefundamental equation, vectorsare shit, which is a contradiction to the stated definitionabove ... well, you get the idea.
Before he let us go, Dodddefined a new binary systemfor us, one in which everythingis thought of in terms of X'sand O's, vectoring in a pool.With everything tied up in that,which we'll call the Fundamen·tal Theorem of Waterpolo, hesent us out to take our midtermexam. We all failed miserably,losing 11-6, and thus, byteam meeting, we all decided todrop on November 11.
To celebrate our decision, amassive party took place thatnight in which Mr. Waterpolodegenerated into an alcoholicstupor, a samurai drinker fromVCSD forced all to drink onPresidential order, and
'Graveman showed an incredible ability to roll quarters offhis nose. The next day, thoseof us able to get up at 5:30 amtold Dodd of our decision todrop. Along the way, we said afond farewell to our seniors, intheir last week of water·polo - ever(?)

Coach Dodd IntroducesAMa Mikasa for Polo
by Math ShotWater polo is a unique
2' sport. Take last Saturday for~C!l example. We thought we were~ going to play a tournament,s the SCIAC Westerns, against£! Oxy and Whittier. We werei wrong. In reality, Dodd usedI the tournament as an excuse to
teach us all something called"Polo Math" or perhaps"Abstract Insanity." He calledit AMa mikasa.
We were summoned intothe chalk room, no, lecture hallat 11 :30 am for our first and,hopefully, last class of theyear. Dodd opened with a proposition. "Assume we've got alarge concrete bowl 25 yardslong, 6 lanes wide, and 7V2-15feet deep. Let's call it a pool.Put two goals, 1 funny-lookingyellow ball, and 14 players init. We'll call that a waterpologame. Now, take this game andadd two referees, two coaches,and two benches of reserves.Now what have you got. Right,a mess." (Around this time, Iwas thinking that this was pretty simple. Just a lot of addition.) Then he broke into complex number theory. "Let's addsome fans to the 'big picture'.Well, we'll make them imaginary, since they don't exist.Now we're ready to go."(Ready to go where, to thejohn?)
He moved on to define an'opportunity' as a free shot atthe goal. "In a game, we get Xnumber of 'opportunities'. Suppose, , you blow one.Then we've only got (X - 1) opportunities. And that's shit."He proceeded to write the fundamental equation (X - 1) =SHIT on the board for us. Vsing that he derived the FourthQuarter Theorem whereby anygoals scored in th~ last 3minutes by our opponents aresimply thrown away. As an example he took our last game,

The men's foil team did not have luckAgainst SDSV who moved like ducks
Caltech was defeated zero to nineWith no mental pain on their minds
The second match with FullertonThe team showed a better sign
Scott Grossman, the big dancing bearDid his move with ultimate care
He won two bouts without a nightmareCraig Keller caught Grossman's spiritHe. saw the blade and didn't fear itWinning one by attacking with dare
Adam Lewenburg did alrightHe lunged and parried and showed no fright
Planning his movement with good insightThe match ended at four forty-sixAnd the foilists lost three to six.
The men's epee team lost both matchesAnd their blades got many scratchesBill Gray saw his foe as Darth Vader
And Luke Skywalker as himself with candorBill is young and was wearing white
Feeling the force with him was a delightJoe Bechenbach is thin and tall
He has advantage after allHis long limbs and speed is quite appalled
With his reach he fears no one smallJames O'Dea won the only boutAgainst SDSV who like to shoutJames took his foe by surprise
By a scheme easy to deviseThomas Luke got his first winWhile fencing against FullertonHe parried and riposted quicklyAnd got a few touches instantly.
Wild, wet fun
The team got there at one o'clockAnd saw different teams in their flocks
The gym looked old and smallWith thin mattresses hanged on the wall
We started practicing without palsDoing lunges and parries to know howThe blades met and produced a screechThen one guy moved and made a reach
Everyone there was all warmed upHoping to win and be the top.
by Parry RiposteTwo days before the fight
The team was feeling alrightBlades were polished shiny and bright
All equipment was working rightThe fencing master lectured and exclaimed,
"I want you to go out and win!"One enthusiast stood and acclaimed,"Then you'll buy us a bottle of gin!"The team fenced two hours that nightWith control and a feeling of might.
The women's foil team started the boutsThe gym was filled with cheers and shouts
Phyllis Li acted like an amazonBy winning four duels without a doubt The men's saber team had its gore
Shannon Gwong is a new recruit By defeating SDSV five to fourShe did well by leading pursuit Before the match, both teams in rigorDana Pillsbury moves like a cat Matt Himmelstein yelled, "Kill, disfigure!"She is observant and uses tact Matt took the initiative
And won two bouts by being fast Won a bout and felt appreciativeBridgway and Peters got their first win Scott Lewicki took the chanceSoon after they were wearing a big grin To cut and strike at his stance
The final score was eight to eight He defeated one gracefullyBut, the joy of tieing soon abated And lost a close one unintentionally
More touches went to SDSV Chien-Wei Han had won all threeSo it was the victor of the two. Later on he went on a spree
Feeling weary and things forgotten Jeff Greason and Pat Blaine gave their bestThe team next met Cal State Fullerton They almost won one to pass the test
They tried hard but with no avail Sooner or later, they'll put their foes to restThe final score, five to eleven Against Fullerton was not so fineA match Fullerton prevailed. For they lost miserably zero to nine.
Back home, the fencing master led the wayTo get ready for another day
Against V.C. Santa Barbara and VCLA.
Saturday, the day of campaignThe master gave us some champagne.
One foilsman boasted and cried,"What foe shall we defeat today?"
The master toasted and replied,"You shan't give an inch of way
fo Fullerton Assassins or San Diego Aztecs."On that morning, nine forty fiveThe team got on interstate five
To San Diego and doing fifty-five.

What Is Tougher Than DevelopingThe Technology Of Tomorrow?
Testing TomorrowsTechnology Today.
Megatest is a leader in the ATE industry because we are a leader in developing computer technology. Semiconductor companies cannot developand design the integrated circuitry of the futurewithout tools to test the devices. These test toolsmust be very powerful super-mini computers withfirmware and software that push the limits of existing technology. In the last nine years we have invested in hiring some of the best engineers in theworld to help us push these limits. The resultshave been tremendous: sales doubling almostevery two years, sales offices around the worldand the US, growth from a two-man operation in1975 to over 450 peopJe in 1984.
But we have not forgotten the key to our success: talented people. Megatest believes excellence will grow at. a company that values trustand friendship as an operating philosophy. Wepromote this philosophy by keeping company decisions in the open not in the board room, by keeping engineering teams small, and rewarding resultsover form. We firmly believe office politics andstatus symbols are counterproductive to our goals.
If you believe as we do, that your job shouldbe exciting and fun, watch for future Megatest adsthat will describe in more detail about our jobs forcollege graduates. Or you may want to go downto your placement center and ask to see our company literature and video. If you still don't haveenough information write:

Spikers Scoreby Busy Sue
Last Saturday we playedthe Cal State San BernardinoCoyotes. They bark likecoyotes, but they're bigger.Things didn't start out toowell - a lot of people (includingthe coach) didn't show up. Andlast time we played them, theywiped the floor with us. Butthose of us that did bother toshow did well. We even managed to rally at the end of the second game. We didn't win, butwe didn't embarrass ourselveseither.
On Monday we played theWhittier Poets. They won onegame because we played badlyand we won one game because gthey played badly. In the third ~and final game of the match, 1ieveryone played out of their ':minds. We had a real battle. ~
Finally, they won 18-16. ~
Our last game is on Satur- I
day, and it will probably beaway. So, why not go to theAlumni basketball game instead? 2:00 pm at thegym - maybe I'll see you there.
