phy is basically paternal. There
are many student-facuty commit-
tees without much real power.
Despite these weaknesses, the
school has achieved a meaningful
relationship between graduate
and undergraduate students, both
of which are represented in the
stUdent government.
Rhodes found that the trip
reinforced some of his positions
and modified others. His feeling
that everyone should participate
in the decision making process
is dependent upon three reasons:
The student does not give up
all rights and responsibility upon
entering the university; a bal-
ance between faculty and stu-
dent viewpoints is necessary in
order to make the best quality
decisions; and being able to make
decisions is part of the educa-
tional process.
Of course
In reference to Caltech, he felt
we have too many courses. The
philosophy that courses are the
only way to education places too
much on the system and too lito'
tle on the individual. A teaching
system more effective in ex-
ploiting our faculty resources,
such as the idea of seminars,
must be found. Caltech is the
most homogeneous of the schools
Rhodes studied, but rather than
emphasizing the advantages of
this, we emphasize the disadvan-
tages.

Things can be done at Caltech
that couldn't be attempted else-
where. For example, a plan was
suggested to Rhodes that the

goal, such as solving the smog

Members of the CaItech com-

give some thought to recreational
facilities available for their use-
in particular, the Caltech sail-

that there are four sailboats
available year round to qualified
Cal tech; people three 12-f'00t fiber-
glass, single-sail boats and one
18-foot sloop (two sails, one
mast).
The qualifications are simple:
any member of the Cal tech Sail-
ing Club who has demonstrated
the ability to handle these boats
is eligible to use them when he
desires. This very same Sailing
Club is meeting tonight at 8:00
p.m. in upstairs Winnett, and
all persons interested in summer
sailing should try to attend.
