Seniors Hear Gauss, van Dyke, Hibben, As Questionnaire Is Read at Dinner
Speakers Emphasize Achievement, Co-Operation, Friendship, Work, Loyalty As Factors in Success in Alter Life — Election Results Show Opinions of Senior Class Regarding Favorites.
At the final dinner of the Class of 1928 held last night in Madison Hall, W. M. Hardt, president of the class, introduced as speakers Dean Gauss, Dr. Paul van Dyke '81, to whom the 1928 Nassau Herald is dedicated, and President Hibben. Following the speeches J. S. Richardson reported on the progress of the Class Fund and announced the results of the class questionnaire.
Dean Gauss, the first speaker, stressed the importance of co-operation and achievement both during and after the years of college. "Achievement," explained the Dean, "is the one thing that will keep one happy and co-operation is one of the paramount means in gaining it; set a goal for yourself and then work toward it. You have already made one achievement, this should be encouragement to achieve the goal you have set."
Professor van Dyke, following Dean Gauss, expressed as the three most important factors in success and happiness : friendship, work and loyalty. "A man without friends is one of nature's saddest creations," said Dr. van Dyke, "there is no man who can be happy when he is lazy and without a loyalty in relation to something bigger than yourself, life will be pitifully empty. Princeton has filled each of these needs to me, and I am sure Princeton has filled and will continue to fill these needs for you."
As the final speaker, President Hibben, after expressing his satisfaction at the recent endorsement of the Honor System, explained that the whole purpose of education is to teach how to learn and not simply to teach facts. "One of the finest things a man can learn in college," said the President, "is how to tackle an unknown problem. You have learned this by intimate contacts with your fellow men and the resulting ability to size up human nature. One should not strive to be a great leader, that will come incidently, the main thing is not to strive for distance, but to hit the ball."

You were right: Rotational motion is relative, too, Mr. Einstein!
Date: May 18, 2016
Source: Springer
It has been one hundred years since the publication of Einstein's general theory of relativity in May 1916. In a paper recently published in EPJ Plus, Norwegian physicist Øyvind Grøn from the Oslo and Akershus University College of Applied Sciences and his co-author Torkild Jemterud demonstrate that the rotational motion in the universe is also subject to the theory of relativity.
Imagine a person at the North pole who doesn't believe the Earth rotates. As she holds a pendulum and can observe the stars in her telescope, she remarks that the swinging plane of the pendulum and the stars rotate together. Newton, who saw the world as a classical physicist, would have pointed out that it is the Earth that rotates. However, if we assume the general principle of relativity is valid, the Earth can be considered as being at rest while the swinging plane of the pendulum and the night sky are rotating.
In fact, the rotating mass of the observable part of the universe causes the river of space--which is made up of free particles following the universe's expansion--to rotate together with the stars in the sky. And the swinging plane of the pendulum moves together with the river of space.
Until now, no-one has considered a possible connection between the general principle of relativity and the amount of dark energy in the universe, which is associated with the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, discovered in 1998. This connection can be established, Grøn argues, by using the phenomenon of inertial dragging.

Chapter 25: Holden
Miller's grim smile chilled Holden's blood. "I keep telling you. This station is in war mode, kid. It's playing for keeps."
"Is there a way we can make it feel better about things?"
"Sure. Now I'm in here, I can take off the lockdown," Miller said, "But you're going to have to -"
Miller vanished.
"To what?" Holden shouted. "I'm going to have to *what*?"
From behind came an electronically magnified voice. "James Holden, by authority of the Martian Congressional Republic, you are placed under arrest. Get down on your knees and place your hands on your head. Any attempt to resist with be met with lethal response."
Holden did as he was told, but turned his head to look behind. Seven marines in recon armor had come into the room. They weren't bothering to point their guns at him, but Holden knew they could catch him and tear him to pieces just using the strength of their suits.
"Guys, seriously, you couldn't have given me five more minutes?"

Residential College Council ratifies official charter to gain recognition
By AVANI MEHTA
The Residential College Council (RCC) last week ratified an official charter, making it a recognized student organization, chair Ilya Shapiro '99 said. The charter states the primary aim S of the RCC — which is to promote unity among the five colleges — and details the legislative structure and rules of the council, Shapiro explained. All five residential colleges have approved and submitted the charter to Assistant Dean of Student Life Beth Morgan, he said. The RCC was established several years ago as the Inter-College Council, an informal organization that organized social events, Shapiro said. Last spring, the council disbanded because members had personal conflicts and there was no written organizing constitution on which to depend, he explained. Sophomores gathered this fall under the leadership of former InterCollege Council chair Brian Gaw '98 to rename and rejuvenate the
RCC and to put together a charter, Shapiro added. Without a charter, the council had no set of regulating rules, and its finances were going astray, Gaw said. "We had no framework within which to operate," he explained. According to Gaw, the council had difficulty wording the charter, facing "a question of autonomy." "The Residential College Council is funded by the residential colleges, but if the RCC was responsible to each college for every decision, nothing would get done," Gaw explained. The new charter gives the RCC autonomy to organize events regardless of a residential college veto, Gaw said. However, the council must review the plans "if any of the colleges disapproves of them. "The function of the RCC is to sponsor events that will encourage greater inter-college interaction," said vicechair Brian Johnson '99. "We want to avoid (isolationism) between colleges."
Each of the five residential colleges has its own council from which two members are selected for the RCC. "Representatives come to the council with the interests of their college in mind," said treasurer Mark Ellis '99. "The RCC is not just an extension of the residential colleges," Ellis said. "It is a separate group designed to bridge the gap between the different colleges." The Class of 1998 RCC board organized several events, including the computer dating dance, the "screw your roommate" dance and the lip syncing contest, said Gaw. "We hope to expand next year to provide different types of activities," Shapiro said. The RCC will pass out questionnaires to the current first-year class to determine what events it would like the council to organize in the upcoming year, said Johnson. "We are going to be running activities that the student body really wants," he added.

As Spirits Fly With Atlantis, Delays a Mir Inconvenience : Space: The shuttle pierces a blue sky after Florida storms scratched two launch dates. Linkup with Russian station is on track for Thursday.
June 28, 1995 K.C. COLE TIMES SCIENCE WRITER
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla. — The space shuttle Atlantis cracked open a robin's-egg-blue Florida sky with a deafening roar Tuesday afternoon as hundreds of spectators and NASA officials cheered and sighed with collective relief.
Pounding rain with lightning had been soaking the area for days, preventing two scheduled launches last week and threatening to keep the five U.S. and two Russian crew members indefinitely on the ground. But the storms held off Tuesday.
Atlantis had to begin its journey during a 10-minute window beginning at 3:32 p.m. EDT in order to make its planned docking with the Russian Mir space station, now set for Thursday morning. Mir passed over Kennedy Space Center just minutes before Atlantis took off. By the time the shuttle left the ground, Mir was over Iraq.
"Liftoff of the space shuttle Atlantis on a mission that will herald a new day of international cooperation in space," launch commentator Bruce Buckingham announced as the shuttle, looking like a toy plane attached to a mile-high flamethrower, rode into orbit. The blastoff marked America's 100th manned trip into space.
Soon after launch, Atlantis began a series of rocket firings designed to put it in roughly the same orbit as Mir. Today crew members will continue to line up their orbit and will activate Spacelab, where experiments are stowed. They will also check out equipment and cameras for the docking.
On Thursday, they will drift up toward Mir. The docking itself, Gibson said, will be a "long, slow, laborious process."

U.S., Russian Spacecraft Go Separate Ways : Docking: Shuttle Atlantis ends historic 5-day linkup with space station. It leaves with three crewmen who have been in orbit since mid-March.
July 05, 1995 from Associated Press
HOUSTON — Astronauts and cosmonauts watched their ships part and fade into the blackness of space Tuesday in an orbital pirouette that ended five days of flying as a single craft.
"We're just shaking our heads at how quickly this has all gone by," said Charles Precourt, pilot of the U.S. space shuttle Atlantis.
"We agree with that. . . . We agree 100%," Atlantis' commander, Robert L. (Hoot) Gibson, replied as he backed the shuttle away from the station. "In one of the simulations, the words 'cosmic ballet' came to mind, and I guess that's where we are now."

Like a good warm-up for the frosh scholar would be Engineering 308, Small Craft Navigation, coupled with a solid Humanities course like English 203, Public Speaking. Then, frosh, follow up the second term with the same well-balanced schedule. Take a flyer with Astronomy 302 and Classics 218, Roman History. These are the kind of courses, fellows, that are going to make a Princeton career worthwhile, challenging and - most of all - enjoyable.
But guys, look out for the little traps and snares that are waiting in the curriculum, hoping to 'bog down the eager scholar, the man who came to learn and not to hack off.
For instance, steer clear of the courses that are "narrow" and don't broaden your learning experience. Look for the subjects that will provide thinking fodder for courses in other departments so that you can inter-relate the values you've picked up.
Like industrial relations. We're all interested in industrial relations and we want to find out the who and how of industrial relations. But, men, don't let the thinking stop after a single course in Industrial Sociology (322). Follow it up with Psychology 310, Human Problems in Industry, and then broaden it with Economics 303, Labor Problems. Finally wrap up the subject with something a little more specific like History 202, American Industrial Growth.
If you want to try this same idea on a closer scale, try something like a series: Oriental Studies 209, Introduction to Islamic Civilization; Oriental Studies 306, The Rise of Islam, and Oriental Studies 403, The World of Islam.
Anyway you look at it, fellows, college life can be fun as well as informative. After all, which would you rather do - stay up all night playing poker and drinking cheap whiskey or go to bed early and get up at 8:40 for the dramatic story of John Milton's second marriage ?

Daily Princetonian, Volume 75, Number 83, 14 May 1951
UNORTHODOXY WANTED
There is far too little unorthodoxy on the college campus today.
Free thought and its expression in the United States are becoming increasingly restricted by corrosive influences in our psychological environment in the present crisis situation. This tendency towards stifling one of America's greatest assets in the cold war bids fair to have very dangerous consequences for the future of the country and especially the future of education.
Those of us who have been worried about the abridgement of free inquiry and free speech here in the university community were particularly interested in Kalman Seigel's articles on this subject in The New York Times last Thursday and Fridav. We agree with Mr. Seigel's impression that the net effect of present trends is "a widening tendency toward passive acceptance of the status quo, conformity, and a narrowing of the area of tolerance in which students, faculty and administrators feel free to speak, act and think independently."
Insulated as the college campus is from the violent moods of public opinion, the unreasoning attack on all liberal thought, carried to its greatest extreme by Senator McCarthy's irresponsible ravings, is being felt on the campus today. We have felt it in the air, even here at Princeton. And Princeton is a private institution, unharried by political maneuvering. It is a residential college, away from the muckraking of some big city newspaper and politicians. Difficult to isolate or pin down, the most frequent tendency is one of self-censorship - a reluctance to climb out on a controversial limb or to join in any controversial cause or organization. Particularly is this true of the Faculty.
Frustration Reaches for Scapegoats
The origin of these tendencies are the unprecedented psychological pressures on the American people today, as a result of the international situation. The United States is faced with a great power threatening the very core of our beliefs and institutions as well as our external security. Frustrated at every hand in efforts to turn back the tide against Communism, the American people are grasping for scapegoats. Liberal thoughts or personalities are associated with the enemy and are violently attacked in the mistaken notion that this is a direct blow to the Communist threat. This tendency will almost surely increase as the tension in the world heightens anew.
Nothing could be more disastrous for this country than the suppression of unorthodox thought and discussion at the key spots from which new ideas are injected into our society. One of our greatest assets over the Soviet Union stems from this very re-evaluation and new thinking based on freedom of inquiry to come to any possible conclusions. This the Russians do not have.
Higher education has a very special responsibility in this regard. More than ever students, Faculty and Administration figures must consciously try to understand the forces at play toward conformity and by understanding them, lessen their impact. Educators must consciously attempt to protect unorthodox thought and expression on the campus from increasing attacks from outside. Princeton, in its traditional role of educating future leaders, as well as in its new role as a real national center for research in the social and natural sciences, must particularly guard against encroachments on free inquiry. Such influence here has immediate adverse effects on the quality of Princeton's output.
Let us not surrender one of democracy's greatest assets to the sacrificial altar of hysteria at the very time when we need all of our assets most.

[opening narration]
Narrator: Introducing, four experts in the questionable art of crime: Mr. Farwell, expert on noxious gases, former professor, with a doctorate in both chemistry and physics; Mr. Erbie, expert in mechanical engineering; Mr. Brooks, expert in the use of firearms and other weaponry; and Mr. De Cruz, expert in demolition and various forms of destruction. The time is now, and the place is a mountain cave in Death Valley, U.S.A. In just a moment, these four men will utilize the services of a truck placed in cosmoline, loaded with a hot heist cooled off by a century of sleep, and then take a drive into The Twilight Zone.
by me, Kerry Burgess, excerpts from my private journal: 9/26/2006 3:06 PM
As I was trying to go to sleep last night, I had a thought that I have a doctorate in computer science from Princeton.
and I had thoughts that I studied music as well at Princeton.
from my private journal, as me, Kerry Burgess, typed after being released from the USA Veterans Affairs psychiatric hospital enduring many months sitting in a grungy two-computer room in a homeless shelter on the waterfront in downtown Seattle:

I think it was my first thought after waking up this morning that I used to date Julia Roberts a long time ago.
I also have these unexplained thoughts that I was a fighter pilot in the U.S. military, although I'm not sure which service, but I may have been in two different branches over time. I am also confused about thoughts that I may have been a helicopter pilot. What's next? A space shuttle pilot? Seems like a lot for someone that is only 40. And, while I am not sure when this divergence happened, I am reasonably certain it was before I turned 33. So I must have been a pretty busy guy. Especially because I have thoughts that I was some kind of mathmetician too.
