Four Caltech faculty members were named last week to the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the private organization of scientists and engineers dedicated to the furtherance of science and its use for the general welfare.

President Jean-Lou Chameau suggested faculty peer pressure as a driving force encourage not-so-great teachers to improve their lecturing skills, at a Q&A session on effective teaching last Tuesday.

ASCIT bylaw changes. Youre probably heard rumors about how theyre a pain in the ass. So why are we going to the trouble of stirring up a campus-wide vote to get these changes (which spans 4 or 5 articles, no less) to pass?

The second part of Joe Rhodess Caltech Myth series, which ran on 16 May 1968, asks the question, Why should any undergraduate come to Caltech? mentioning that both the troll and the well-rounded individual have better options elsewhere. While this, being rather demeaning to students at Tech and Tech as an institute, provoked the majority of responses, I feel his real question is a reasonable one: What is a scientific education? Is it merely scientific courses, like Tech seems to assume, or is it more?
