What does a kettle coming to boil
have in common with a heartbeat that
becomes irregular and leads to a heart
attack?
These, and many other pheno
mena, are examples of chaos when
an ordered system makes a qualitative
leap into anarchy.
A new mathematical theory named
chaos, technically referred to as non
linear dynamics, may unravel some
of the underlying patterns of this
anarchy.
Take the example of heating a
kettle. To begin with, the movement
of the liquid is regular. As the water
at the bottom of the kettle heats up,
it begins to rise to the top. That forces
the water at the top to flow to the
bottom, and the cycle repeats.
Known as convection currents,
these movements can be easily
modeled using conventional mathem
atical equations. The movement of
the water can be predicted. i
However, as the temperature
increases to the boiling point, orderly
convection currents abruptly break
down. The water leaps around

Put on your dancing shoes
and head for Club Cabaret
By ELLEN THORNTON
1 'Staff Writer
TTf you love to dance, but you're
having trouble finding a place to
, i-Ldo it, Club Cabaret has the
' answer.
Beginning this Saturday, the
Cabaret in the basement of the Stu
dent Union will be a new place to
dance, eat and party. The Club
' Cabaret, open at 9 p.m., will have a
nightclub atmosphere, featuring a
mix of danceable music from disc
jockeys and bands playing covers.
Also, refreshments will be served.
- "It's an awesome idea," said jun
ior Michele Koszarsky. "The only
places to dance around here are
Players and WFUN. At Players you
- have to be 21, and WFUN is too far
: away."
Four freshmen originated the idea
for Club Cabaret. Dana Lumsden,
M. t I H I f l 1 - C ' J
rtunwoic rx uai wrigm, nnx. oana-
stedt and Jason Kelly thought the
campus needed a place where stu
dents of all races and ages can party
together.
The four students went to the
Union Cabaret Committee for help.
Since the Cabaret is still experiment
ing with various types of programs,
the committee agreed to let the four
have use of the club for six Friday
nights after Christmas. This Satur
day will be an experimental night.
"I think the Cabaret is under
used," Sandstedt said. "It has the
potential to be something better."
Barbara Gwynn, a lighting opera
tor at the Cabaret, said she thought
the nightclub would draw people to
the Cabaret. "There has been, a poor
turnout for some of the things IVe
worked at the Cabaret," she said.
"But I think this is a really good
idea. Hopefully, a lot of people will
try it out."
The main reason for Club
Cabaret is to bring students of all
races together, according to
Lumsden. He said he wanted to see
a place where whites and blacks feel "
comfortable partying with each
other.
One way to achieve a comfortable
atmosphere is to offer a mix of
music that appeals to everyone,
Lumsden said. The club will play
music ranging from soul to progres
sive rock, including oldies and pop
singles, he said.
"The sad thing about the UNC
campus is that things are all white or
all black," Lumsden said. "I have
friends of all different races and
backgrounds, and there is nowhere
for us to party tdgether on
weekends."
Sandstedt said he thought the
club would help integrate the social
aspects of campus life on weekends.
Another goal of Club Cabaret is
to give students a place on campus
to have a good time for free, Kelly
said. "It's a good place to go after
the parties are over," she said.
higgledy-piggledy. It's ( impossible to

bubble.
The purpose of chaos theory is to
find a regularity within the random
ness, such as in turbulent water, to
make a little order out of disorder.
A professor in the UNC mathemat
ics department, Sheldon Newhouse,
uses mathematical equations to
model chaos.
When graphed, many of his non
linear equations display simple curves
that soon degenerate into random
disorder. The points on the graph
where the disorder increases form the
basis of another graph.
This graph displays beautiful
patterns, known as "strange attrac
tors." Consisting of loops and but
terfly shapes, strange attractors are
the pictorial representation of chaos.
The patterns map out the points
where chaos can operate. '
Newhouse works with abstract
equations, which initially have no
direct relation to the real world.
However, important parallels have
been discovered between the results
of imaginary mathematics and the
results of experiments with fluid
motions. The points at which the
mathematical equations became
chaotic coincided exactly with the
points at which a fluid became

THE WASHINGTON INTERNATIONAL STUDIES CENTER

OXFORD, ENGLAND
Academic Program
rf co,lees of Oxford University have invited The Washington International Studies Center
(WISC) to recommend qualified students to study for one year or for one or two terms. Lower
Junior status is required, and graduate study is available. Students are directly enrolled in their
colleges and receive transcripts from their Oxford college; this is NOT a program conducted by a
U.S. college in Oxford. Oxford colleges are accredited by the U.S. Dept. of Education to
accept students with Guaranteed Student Loans. Multi-national student housing and social
activities are offered, and cultural tours are conducted by WISC. A special summer session is
directed by WISC.

WASHINGTON, D.C.
Pre-professional Program
The Washington International Studies Center offers summer internships with Congress, with the
White House, with the media and with think tanks. Government and Journalism courses are taught
by senior-level
government officials, who are also scholars, and by experienced journalists. All
college students with a 3.0 GPA or above are eligible.

turbulent.
"This would indicate physical
systems have the same kind of
mechanisms behind the simple
mathematical models," Newhouse
said. Moreover, the chaos theory is
necessary to understand the under
lying mathematics of the fluid
turbulence.
A full understanding of chaos is
important for industries such as
nuclear power. Pressure water reac
tors use a cooling system to keep the
temperature of the cores down.
However, the pipes in some of these
cooling systems developed metal
fatigue. Scientists now believe that the
chaotic movement of the fluids in the
pipes caused the problems.
Chaos theory has been applied to
many other areas, including medi
cine, economics and meteorology.
The beat of a person's heart is a
fundamental reassurance of life.
However, in mathematical terms the
heart is a fixed oscillator, and its
regular periodicity can be disrupted
by various forces, including body
temperature and stress.
When the trace of a heart attack
is analyzed it exhibits the character
istics of chaos. The regular rhythm
suddenly breaks up into a more
frequent and erratic pattern
fibrillation. By understanding the
chaos of fibrillation, scientists may be
able to predict more accurately an
impending heart attack.
One of the more unpredictable
man-made phenomena is the Dow
Jones average, a stock market indi
cator. For many years economists
have attempted to predict where the
Dow Jones average will stand in
future months. Previously, only
statistical methods have been applied.
Now, some mathematicians claim
that chaos theory can provide a much
richer understanding.
Meteorology is another area where
chaos theory may be helpful. The
weather system is very complex,
making it inherently difficult to
predict. Peter Robinson, associate
professor in the UNC geography
department, argues that the theoret
ical limits of observing weather make
it impossible to predict the climate
accurately beyond about 10 day's.
While chaos theory will probably
not surpass this limit, Robinson said,
"We may get better quality forecasts
than we can ever possibly get at the
moment." He added tha the appli
cation of chaos theory is only spec
ulation at the moment.
Although Newhouse hesitated to
describe chaos theory as a scientific
revolution, he referred to it as a
tremendous new development within
the last few years.
"Scientists across a wide spectrum
of disciplines now realize that certain
kinds of chaotic structure are
expected to occur in their fields," he
said. ;
Scientists may be less likely to
ignore results that are highly disor
dered, and chaos theory may even
allow them to understand the patterns
that underlie the chaos.
