	House System at the California Institute of Technology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The House System is the basis of undergraduate student residence at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech).
		Caltech's unique House system is modeled after the residential college system of Oxford and Cambridge in England, and is also similar to the fictional houses of Hogwarts in Harry Potter.
		The crest and motto derive from the noble House of Fleming of Biggar, South Lanarkshire, Scotland.

	Intro to the Caltech Student House system (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The Houses combine elements of dormitories and fraternities - in fact, the original fraternities were broken up and assigned to Houses wholesale after they were built.
		As a result, each house has its own character which is maintained over the years (although there have been some drastic changes in the past).
		Blacker, Dabney, Fleming, and Ricketts are the "South Houses", and were built in the 1920's in a Spanish style.

		Caltech is ranked tied for the fourth-best university (with MIT and Stanford) in the nation by the 2007 U.S. News and World Report[3].
		Caltech is ranked seventh in the world in the 2006 The Times Higher Education Supplement, and sixth in the world in the 2006 Academic Ranking of World Universities[4].
		Caltech is on the quarter system, meaning that students have one quarter before winter break and two quarters after winter break.

		However, since publishers vary widely in their policies, it may be wise to share this documentation about the ETD initiative with publishers to which you are likely to submit your work.
		The Caltech Electronic Submission Approval Form, that must be signed by you and your committee when you turn in the your final work, indicates your choice.
		If the publisher restricts access in that release, say to the Caltech community, you may want to have 2 versions of your thesis or dissertation--one with and one without the chapter (e.g., published article) in question.

	A CREATIVE TENSION
		Indeed, the plan built on the strengths of the theme houses by creating a residential college system in which all students would be able to benefit from the kind of small, close-knit community that the theme houses had pioneered.
		The system of supervisions is politically embattled, and susceptible to some of the same social pressures as exist in an American university.
		Cambridge and Caltech have different histories and accomplish this in different ways -- at Cambridge a university community was built on top of collegiate communities, whereas at CalTech the house system was coeval wth the notion of a university community.

		Caltech junior Celeste Yang, said the “moles,” or tunnel hackers, often live in her house, Blacker.
		Caltech owns off campus apartments, and most houses have affiliated “off-campus alleys,” small houses or sets of apartments which are owned by Caltech and designated for house members.
		All students are required to live in a house during the first two (of three) terms of their freshman year, and are guaranteed on-campus housing for all three freshman terms.

		Particularly noteworthy in Sharp's revamping of the Caltech earth sciences was his support of planetary science as a vehicle for extending geological research to the other planets, notably Mars, and for his contributions to the creation of the field of geochemistry.
		The latter discipline was especially important in the interpretation of lunar samples that began at Caltech in 1970.
		A native of Oxnard, California, Sharp first came to Caltech as an undergraduate in 1930, where he was a star quarterback in the days when the institute was still a competitive force in Southern California football.

		An aide to Chris Dodd, D-Conn., the bill's sponsor, said Dodd is amenable to changes that would protect Oregon's system, and most critics of mail voting say they are more concerned about halting its spread than forcing Oregon to go back to precinct polling places.
		But the criticism has put Oregon's system under an unflattering scrutiny that could affect its standing in the courts and in a future Congress if the state suffers any serious problems with vote fraud.
		Critics miss the value of mail voting in increasing turnout, he said, and in giving people time in the privacy of their homes to work through the state's long ballots.

	2020 Hindsight » MIT pranks Caltech’s Fleming House (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		At Caltech, the cannon’s disappearance has been received in good humor by both administrators and students, at least now that they know it was done as a hack (or a prank, as hacks are called at Caltech).
		Caltech’s pranking ethics state that pranks should be accompanied by a note, which often identifies the people responsible for the prank.
		Speaking of Fleming and Lloyd, though, there exists lore of Caltech inter-house rivalry that is expressed in obscure etchings on circuit boards or other equipment that finds its way into a rocket payload and shot somewhere into the solar system.

		And, it is becoming evident that planet formation as it is thought to have happened in our solar system may occur in a similar manner in significantly different environments.

	Congressman Vernon J. Ehlers - Press Releases
		Ehlers, chairman of the House Science Committee’s Environment, Technology, and Standards Subcommittee, with Ranking Member James Barcia, D-Bay City, authored H.R. 2275, the Voting Technology Standards Act, to establish standards for voting machines.
		The bill was prompted by the problems of the 2000 Presidential elections and a report from Caltech and MIT that found that because of substandard voting equipment and confusing ballots that up to 2 million votes cast were not counted properly.
		As a result of negotiations with the House Administration Committee, the provisions of Congressman Ehlers’ bill to improve voting technology (H.R. 2275) have been incorporated into the Help America Vote Act of 2001 (H.R 3295).

	Caltech Press Release, 5/10/2006, Dr. Marianne Bronner-Fraser
		PASADENA, Calif.--There's a time soon after conception when the stem cells in a tiny area of the embryo called the neural crest are working overtime to build such structures as the dorsal root ganglia, various neurons of the nervous system, and the bones and cartilage of the skull.
		The work involves chicken embryos, which are especially amenable to the advanced imaging techniques utilized at Caltech's Biological Imaging Center.
		The work was funded by the NIH and performed at Caltech by Martin Garcia-Castro, a former postdoctoral researcher who is currently an assistant professor at Yale University, and Martin Basch, a former Caltech graduate student who is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the House Ear Institute.

	CNN.com - Scientists: Most distant object in solar system found - Mar 15, 2004
		Brown and his team of astronomers, using Caltech's Palomar Observatory, found Sedna in November as part of an ongoing three-year outer solar system project.
		Many astronomers say Pluto, with a diameter of just under 1,500 miles (2,300 kilometers), is too small to be a termed a planet and is just one of many minor objects in the outer reaches of the solar system.
		But those who argue Pluto is a planet are likely to push the assertion for Sedna to become the 10th planet in the solar system.

		In November 2004, as many as 50 million voters (and as many as one million in Ohio’s ten largest counties alone) cast their ballots on electronic voting machines that lacked a voter-verified paper audit trail.
		Votes are valuable, and each voter should have the knowledge—and the confidence—that his or her vote was recorded and counted as intended.
		For our system to work, every voter must have access, and all voters must leave the polling location confident that their votes will be counted as they intended.
