...know what those women are thinking of," says Posey Carpenter, a Los Angeles real estate broker. "I love the idea of looking delectable and having men whistle at me." Other women, offended by this week's national protest, are setting up counter-demonstration organizations. Mrs. Helen Andelin of Santa Barbara?a mother of eight?urges that Sept. 30 be made a National Celebration of Womanhood Day: each wife should wear her most frilly, feminine dress and should "sing before breakfast," serve her husband breakfast in bed and "tell him how great he is." Still more improbable is New York...
Still cocky from their high-school triumphs, Supple. Andelin and 178 fellow freshmen arrived in Pasadena a week before the term began, were immediately whisked off to Caltech's camp in the San Bernardino Mountains. There, for three days, Nobelmen, freshmen and a few upperclassmen played games, made speeches and put on skits. But each skit or speech turned out to be a veiled warning that tough days lay ahead. Supple and Andelin soon caught on. Says Supple: "I had suddenly run into a bunch of people who were a lot brighter than I was." Adds Andelin...
...optional and that exams are run by the honor system. But there were also other matters-e.g., calculus, molecular physics, basic graphics, inorganic chemistry, as well as a big dose of English literature and European history. Though careful not to appear to be "snakes" (grinds). Supple and Andelin found themselves working a straight 80-hour week. Says Supple: "That first term you don't know where you are. You've got a few physics problems to work out, about 50 pages of history to answer quizzes on each day, and you've got math problems...
Analytical v. Descriptive. After the first year, Supple began to take more engineering, and Andelin more physics and chemistry. But they were both getting the same kind of education-one that does not tell a future engineer how to make a better thermostat, but gives him, instead, all the principles he will need to know in thermodynamics. No matter what their courses, Supple and Andelin learned by solving problems, and the steps they took in their solutions were far more important than their answers. Theoretically, a Caltech student may ar rive at all the wrong answers on exams, and still...
...sophomore physics, Andelin was asked to prove "that a central force field is conservative." "Show," asked junior physics, "that curl grad V = 0." In senior physics: "Expand the wave function
