On August
7, President David Baltimore sat in as guest host on public radio station
KPCCs Airtalk, taking calls and interviewing experts in science
and the media, AIDS, and the upcoming Nobel Centennial celebrations. Clockwise
from second row: 1) Staff members Scott Robbins of Catering and Don Thomas
of Central Plant help themselves to plates of the al fresco cuisine at
the Fun in the Sun Summer BBQ and Music Festival. The weekly barbecue
and street fair featured food, live music, and items for sale from local
crafts people. 2) Staff members from the carpentry shop stand with Susan
Davis, division administrator, in an office they built over the summer.
The craftsmen converted Baxter Halls Judy Library into a wing containing
14 Humanities and Social Sciences faculty and staff offices. The 4,060-square-foot
space was completed in early September. 3) Elliott Andrews, an administrator
with Engineering and Applied Sciences, checks out a 1947 Cadillac convertible
coup during the Classic Car Club of Americas SoCal Region show,
held on campus July 14. Andrews was an organizer of the event. 4) Christopher
Boxe, left, a graduate student in environmental engineering and science,
helps high schoolers in the Young Engineering and Science Students program
build a windmill atop the Keck student services building. 5) Mrs. and
Dr. Nicholas Begovich, Caltech class of 1943, stand next to the cherry
red 1960 Aston Martin Zagato they used to fund a Charitable Remainder
Annuity Trust, of which Caltech is a remainder beneficiary. The couple
sold the car in July for approximately $1 million.
