...Caltech that Astronomer Maarten Schmidt discovered the nature of quasars, perhaps the most distant objects in the universe, that Theoretical Physicist Murray Gell-Mann described the way in which more than 100 subatomic particles are related, and that Physicist Carl D. Anderson discovered the positron, a fundamental particle with an electron's mass but a positive charge. The first successful U.S. orbiting satellite, Explorer I, was launched by the school's acclaimed Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which developed the principles that make jet flight possible...
...cattle drive more than a meal, a year in the Union begins in a friendly enough way, but the novelty of dining with 1600 other freshmen have stopped introducing themselves to the people seated at their tables, even if they sit down with strangers. Dining room cliques begin to gell and conversations have turned from, "Hi, I'm Joe Schmoe, who are you and where do you come from?" to, "Oh my God, I've got an Ec 10 problem set and an Expos paper due tomorrow." By spring, the joys of the Union are fading and freshmen are eating...
...title "Hark, Hark, a Quark -Maybe" [May 2] was the mark of an aardvark who crawled in from a stark Ozark park and was really in the dark. As Professor Gell-Mann could tell you. Quark rhymes with torque, pork, stork, cork, fork and Sergeant O'Rourke of New York, New York...

...quarks, which theoreticians said should be either one-third or two-thirds of those of electrons. Whether the fractional charges measured by the Stanford scientists actually indicate the presence of quarks remains to be seen. But if quarks have indeed been found, their discovery will provide stunning verification of Gell-Mann's brilliant theory about the ultimate structure of matter...
