Fat farm by Wei-Hwa Huang Last week, the super-secret meeting of the Caltech Logic Puzzle Club was held in a room in the SAC (Student Activity Center). Five out of the club's six members attended, representing each ofthe four classes. (Some ofyou smarter people will have already deducted that two of these students were in the same class. You'd be absolutely right; in fact, they rotated out ofPage as roommates.) For the interests of the society, they will all be assigned a pseudonym for the remainder of this puzzle, e.g. "Quine". The flrst point on the agenda was to discuss what sort oflogic puzzle to publish in the student newspaper; each per son had their own opinion, except for one guy who was just there for the free food. Eventually the one who WCis from Blacker proposed that they would com promise and use a standard logic puzzle for their flrst article, which everyone agreed with, even the Lloydie. Before the meeting adjourned, the Bio major offered to create the puzzle, with the EE and AMa major helping him. So, with the following clues, can you match each member with his pseudonym, his class, SPRI his major, his house, and the type of puzzle he liked? PRO T CE 1. The advocate for numerical logic (who isn't the Darb) and the advocate for sequential logic are in the same grade.

THE CALTECH SCIENCE EDUCATION CLUB will have its initial meeting on Wednesday, November 8th at 5:15 p.m. at the CAPSI House 287 So. Hill (three doors south of Del Mar). Pizza supper is provided. Come and discuss your ideas with others who are involved in the vital and challenging endeavor of improving science education at all levels. Whether you are considering the possibility of a career in teaching or want to make science education and science education outreach a part of a research career, or simply want to contribute in some way to this very important work, please join us in an informal, ongoing discussion. We will touch upon the relationship between science, scientists and science teaching at all educational levels. Members of the CaItech community are all invited: undergrads, grads, postdocs, staff, faculty, anyone interested in science education. Please RSVP by Nov. 6th toJane Sanders,[email protected]. edu, or x4016, so we'll have enough to eat..
