One reason is that unlike most operas and musicals, it has a plot - the timeless plot of "Ro meo and JUliet." The scene is the slums of New York; the Capulets and Montagues are now the Sharks and the Jets, two rival warring gangs. We see Romeo and Juliet, now Tony and Maria, perform their in eluctable dance of death, and all about them there is dance - the frantic, stricken tarantella which is the essence of New York. Weaving it all together is the music of Leonard Bernstein, who has utterly captured the mood of his city, and perhaps given it a permanent place in musical history. This sum of drama, music, and dance is the liveliest possible synthesis of the lively arts.

Shave and a Haircut Pressure to conform? Here the Caltech student may feel a certain amount of pinching. He must dress decently, shave daily, and in general conform outward ly to the minimum moral code of the community where he is teaching. But, as mentioned above, more and more schools are giving the science teacher a free rein in the classroom to do as he likes. Whether your ambition is to give carefully prepared college-like lectures, or to introduce the classes to the complexities of research, you will be able to find a class where you can try your ideas. The strongest objection usual ly made to high-school teaching is the necessity of taking great numbers of dull and trivial edu cation courses. This is true at most state universities and at teachers' colleges. However an increasing number of well known universities are offering M.A.T. programs.

New Metal Fatigue Theory Revealed An aeronautical engineer at Caltech has developed a com prehensive new theory of metal fatigue that makes it possible to predict accurately the life span of any structural compon ent in aircraft and missiles and to predetermine the probability of failure due to accumulated damage at any stage of its life.

In most respects Caltech appeared to fit ACLU's concept of "civil libertarian" better than did the other four colleges sampled. As examples - 92% of Tech men said a Socialist should be permitted to teach in a college, while 76% of the others held this view. Similarly, 55% of Techmen said a labor leader should be able to refuse to an swer questions before Congres Come in sional investigating committees, while only 36% of the other stu dents agreed. and find out On the other hand, Techmen came out strongly in favor of government and property rights, supporting the following con how far cepts by much greater major ities than did the other colleges: (1) giving the government pow you can er to arrest and hold without court hearing suspicious persons during a "national emergency"; go with (2) not outlawing racial discri mination in public and private housing; and (3) giving to police the right to pump the stomach Pacific of a known dope peddler on suspicion that he has swallowed evidence. Telephone Yet, surprisingly in light of the above results, Techmen also overwhelmingly refused the Federal Communications Com mission the right to cancel TV programs which it feels are against the national interest. However, 35% of Techmen sup ported double jeopardy, and 41 % favored wire tapping as a means of fighting crime. Also, despite wide campus publicity about the issue, only 50% of Techmen were opposed to loyalty oaths as a condition for financial aid from the government. Inconsistency is Neat The above on-campus results illustrate a fairly inconsistent approach to the civil liberties ideas expressed in the polls, even in view of the highly simplified questions. ("Anyone who has ever belonged to the Communist party should be barred from public employment-yes or no?" is .a typical question. What em ployment? Where? How long ago was he a C.ommunist? Why was he a Communist?) This in consistency was reflected in the overall statistics, partly because half the students polled were from Caltech.
