COLLEGE ROUNDUP:
Students Create 'Free Speech Area'
By DONNA ROBINSON
Without the geometrical con-
cepts introduced by the German
mathematician Karl Gauss at the
beginning of the nineteenth cen-
tury, Albert Einstein would prob-
ably not have been able to form-
ulate his theory of relativity. 1
Gauss was at least one of the
three greatest mathematicians
who ever lived, "a prodigous gen-
ius; everything he touched turned
to gold," Prof. Cornelius Lanczos
of the Dublin Institute for Ad-
vanced Studies said yesterday at'
a lecture on the geometrical dis-
coveries of Gauss.'
Officially Gauss was the court
astronomer of the German duchy
of Hanover. He was thoroughly
bored with this position, but from
his astronomical observations, he
was able to develop one of the
most important laws of statistics.
First Telegraph System
He and another scientist de-
veloped what was probably the
first telegraph system in the
world, Prof. Lanczos noted. It was,
however, only 500 feet long, and
the only use they made of it was
exchanging coded good-mornings.
Three of his other discoveries
can be singled out as his greatest
works.
The first, Prof. Lanczos explain-
ed, was his creation of the Gaus-
sian, or arbitrary, coordinates.
These consist of three variable
measurements which enable the
geometrician to build up a sys-
tem of geometry for a curved sur-
face as well as a plane one.
Curved Coordinates-
Here, Gauss went beyond the
Cartesian system (formulated by
the French mathematician and
philosopher Rene Descartes),
which expressed geometrical pro-
positions in terms of coordinates
placed on a pair of perpendicular
axes. In Gauss' system both the
axes and the coordinates are curv-
ed, with no set amount of curva-
ture required, Prof. Lanczos said.
It was this system which 'Ein-
stein found when searching for
a general and flexible reference
system to be used in his theory
of relativity.
His second was the formulation
of a new basis for geometry-that
of observed physical measurement.
Previous to Gauss' work, geometry
was based on four basic Euclidean
postulates,-one of which was quite
widely doubted. Gauss was able to
build up a system of geometry
completely independent of these
postulates.
Henry To Lecture
On Animal Studies
Col. James P. Henry of the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration will speak on "An-
imal Studies in the Mercury Pro-
ject" at 8 p.m. today in the Fifth
Level Amphithetre of the Medical
Science Bldg. The event is spon-
sored by Phi Rho Sigma Fra-
ternity.
The third Prof. Lanczos men-
tioned was his discovery of one
quantity, derived from only two
measurements and designated as
"k," which can characterize the
entire geometry of a surface. If
the value of a surface's k is zero,
the surface is a plane; if the k
value is above or below zero it is
a curved surface.
This k factor enabled Gauss
to show the concept of curvature
using only dthe dimensions of
length and width without con-
sidering depth, Prof. Lanczos said.
This was the fourth of a series
of six lectures sponsored by the
Institute of Science and Technol-
ogy about the place of Albert
Einstein in the history of physics.
Prof. Lanczos will present the
next lecture at 4 p.m. Thursday
in Aud A.
Stirton
Sees
By RONALD WILTON
BERKELEY - The Executive
Committee of the Associated Stu-
dents of the University of Cali-
fornia has approved a "free speech
area" for the campus.
A university rule requires that
'72 hours prior notification be
given to the Dean of Students of-
fice before rallies are held by in-
diyiduals or groups in the Dwinelle
Plaza area which is used by many
groups for noon rallies.
Members of the student govern-
ment contended 'that the prior
notification rule limited freedom
of speech by making it impossible
to hold a spontaneous rally im-
mediately after the event in ques-
tion had happened.
The issue had been raised re-
cently when an impromptu rally
was held protesting the decision
by the United States to resume at-
mospheric nuclear testing.
Details of the proposed area
are now being studied by a student
subcommittee in conjunction with
the administration.
Commenting on the proposed
area, Dean of Students Katherine
A. Towle said "the plaza would
allow individual students and stu-
dent groups to hold extemporan-
eous speeches or rallies without
prior registration with the Dean
of Students, provided the speakers
were bonafide registered students,
faculty or staff."
PALO ALTO-The student gov-
ernment of Stanford University
has voted to support a plan to
make the largest residence hall
on the campus co-educational
next fall.
Two units of the hall, which is
now for men only, will be convert-
ed into co-ed units for 40 women
and 60 men. However, there will
be a limitation on the amount of
possible mixing as provision would
be made to prevent passage be-

Plans for the co-ed housing are

Housing Need
For Dearborn
By NEIL COSSMAN
The demand for student housing
at the Dearborn Center has come
about two years before it was
expected, William E. Stirton, vice-
president and head of the. center,
said yesterday.
From the time the Dearborn
Center was built in 1959, he ex-
pected that student housing would
be necessary as students from out-
side the Dearborn community
sought admission to the center's
work-study program, its main ac-
tivity, Stirton said.
The unexpected number of mar-
ried students from outside Dear-
born seeking admission is the
major cause of the need for Uni-
yersity housing.

One-third of the Dearborn Cen-
ter's 500 students are married.
Stirton estimates that -as many
married students as there now are
at thedDearborn Center have not
been' able to enroll at the center
because there is no housing avail-
able.
The Dearborn Center now has
plans for 100 married students'
apartments. They will be built in
groups of 25. As the University
receives applications to fill the
first units, a second group will be
started, then the third and fourth
group.
Stirton would like to get author-
ity for all 100 units at the April
meeting- of the Board of Regents,
so that there will be no delay in
adjusting to- subsequent demands
for housing. He hopes that the
first units will be finished by
February, 1963..
Each apartment will be con-
structed so that it can be sub-
divided into four single rooms, in
order to provide housing for single
students from outside the Dear-
born community, Stirton said.
