To recap, I have been writing reviews on episodes of the Apple TV+ series, Lessons In Chemistry. Honestly, I don’t know why people subscribe to Apple TV+. I’ve tried watching The Morning Show—awful.
Last month, over 140 professorial faculty signed and submitted to the administration a petition calling for the reinstatement of the SAT as a criterion for admissions.
Hey everyone! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Jonathan Booker. I’m a junior in Ricketts Hovse studying Physics and Computer Science. During my time here at Caltech, I’ve had the privilege to serve in many campus-wide leadership roles and have been deeply invested in the well-being and future of our community.
I write to you in hopes of shining light on an issue that has been a fork in the road for many Caltech athletic teams. I am requesting to stay anonymous due to a fear of the likely repercussions on my athletic career by the administration if I exposed my name.

In the two years that I have been a Social Director for Ricketts Hovse, I have had more than a few opportunities to explore undergraduate student-administration relationships at Caltech and where they have broken down. I have watched my peers in student leadership be ignored and shut down by members of administration.
The class that plagued me the most during last Fall term was Ch 21a, Physical Chemistry, which is an introduction to Quantum Mechanics for chemistry-related majors. My freshman and sophomore years were honestly pretty rough, but these were all supposed to build my skills as a science student here. As a Junior, I was hoping to excel in courses directly related to my major.
As the beginning of February comes back around, you may notice an increase in red or dragon imagery on campus or around Pasadena; Lunar New Year is approaching on the 10th, a celebration of a new year timed by the lunar calendar instead of solar calendar.
Each undergraduate house has a unique culture. Pretty much every Caltech student ever would agree. Parts of what makes house cultures unique, since they are so intertwined with their physical spaces, are the murals in each house.
