Another recom mendation of theirs which will be put into practice next year is the use of staff members from other departments than physics to r------~ teach frosh and sophomore physics. It would be only great to have students on this committee. It A Campus-to-Career Case History is the perfect committee for students. They wouldn't be fighting the faculty as they might in a tradition-bound group. More than th8t, they might even be able to contribute something of value. (Students do have some ideas on student education, you know.) It wouldn't hurt the faculty to have a few friends among the stu dents, either. and this seems like a good way of making them. As I said, it would be great to have students on this committee. Well, it is just possible we may score on this point. The matter was introduced into the Student-Faculty Relations Committee at the last meeting. The consensus of opinion was that student representation was desirable. However, don't let the con· senQ\JS fool you; there were several faculty members objecting. These men probably represent the majority feeling among the faculty at Caltech. It's going to be tough and no kidding about it. A subcommittee was appointed to draw up a plan for repre sentation ;:md to present all of the reasons for representation. Dr. Lang-muir, Dr. Clark. Dr. ]\lfayhew, Frank Kofsky, Tom Bergeman and Vince Taylor are the members of the subcommittee. If you have any plugs to put in or monkey wrenches to throw please see one of us. This plan will be presented at the next S-FRC meeting. From there it will go to the Faculty Board where its fate will be decided. How they decide may depend a lot on how much the students say, what they say, and how they say it. I, for one, hope they say a lot, make it loud, and make every word count.

Ellis, senior research fellow in engineering, in room 201 Bridge at 7:30 p.m. Dr. Ellis will describe a new Looking for daring laboratory method for producing cavitation damage in which the test specimen has no mechanical accelerations applied to it.
