Exploration of Ice Cap Continuing
By ARTHUR RffiDLE
Now that IGY (the In
ternational Geophysical Year)
and artic expeditions have gone
down in the history books, many
people don’t realize that the days
of artic exploration are not over.
Indeed man’s knowledge of the
ice cap is limited.
The Artic ice cap affects the
world’s climate significantly, on
a large scale. It is also a very
important strategic factor in US
and Soviet naval operations, or
military strategy.
Many scientists want to un
derstand the behavior of the ice
cap on a large scale, for these and
other reasons. They especially
want to know how the ice cap
affects the climate, as well as
why and how it changes in
structure and size.
In the spring of 1973, a
hopefully international effort to
study the ice cap will begin. It
will be called AIDJEX, for “Artic

EDITOR'S NOTE: Monica
Machien Yin is from Chinese
Einbassy, San Jose, Costa Rica.
Her father is a government
employee. She speaks Chinese,
Spanish, and English fluently.
Below is a resume in her own
words of her life, education,
experiences, and professional
objectives.
“I was born in the year 1951 in
Santiago, Chile, of Chinese
Parentage. .My father, who .had
938rtR^m'a1fflarid of fea W
Taiwan, had just arrived in South
America with my mother, on a
diplomatic appointment. So, as a
child, I learned to speak Chinese
at home and Spanish outside. At
the age of five, I was sent to the
kindergarten of an English-
speaking school named Santiago
College. There I remained until I
finished my third year of primary
school. At the age of eight, I
followed my family to Taiwan,
where my father had been
transferred.
“On the way from Chile to
Taiwan I had the opportunity to
visit several countries along the
route. I particularly recall the
interesting tour driving through
the United States from the East
coast to the West, visiting many
cities, national parks and
monuments. To this day I retain a
most vivid impression of the
beautiful northeastern coun
tryside. It was in the fall and the
air seemed so invigorating. Since
then I often dreamed how nice it
would be if I could come back
here to complete my studies one
day.
“We reached Taiwan in
January 1960, and there I came
inty my first contact with the
people of my forefathers. Almost
immediately, I was enrolled in a
Qiinese primary school, the Tsai
Hsing ^imary School, where
with some extra tutoring, I soon
caught up with their curriculum.
Unfortunately, just as I had
learned to read and write enough
Chinese to enjoy normal
schooling, my father was again
transferred abroad, and I had to
go along. But I was glad to have
had this opportunity to form a
basis for keeping up with my
Chinese.
“In the spring of 1962, I found
myself with my family in San
Jose, Costa Rica, where I joined
the Lincoln School and was
graduated in February, 1970.
This year in the month of July,
my father was requested home to
Taiwan, and I remained in Costa
Kican cifiien.
“I am the youngest of the
family, with two brothers before
me. TTie eldest is now 24 years old
and attending university in the U.
S. The other one is now 20, also
considering college education.
This is the main reason for my
applying for a scholarship, since
my father, detached from his
home base on the mainland of
China, is not in a financial
position to see us all through
college at one and the same time.
“In thinking of my college
career and of the possible ways
that I might make myself useful
to society, I have come to the
tantative conclusion that I might
perhaps take advantage of my
language experiences, and go on
from there; but I would like to
make a broader use of this
condition and not be limited to
pure philological studies. I hope
that my ultimate objective might
be something associated with
international services of some
kind.”

Government agencies, Canadian

to participate in the experiments.
It is hoped that other countries
will also participate.
Many of the AIDJEX ex

manned and unmanned “drifting
stations” in the Arctic Ocean,
and by aerial photography. The
experimentation will probably go
on for a year with data
processing expected to take 5
more years.
It is hoped that the new

to predict natural and man-

It seems almost too perfectly
ironic that now, at a time in their
career when most people have
written them off as either dead or
dying, the MC5 should power
back into action with the first
record that comes close to telling
the tale of their legendary
reputation and attendant
charisma. This may appear
particularly surprising, even the
fact that the group’s live per
formances have been none to
cosmic of late, but then the old
saw in that you can’t keep a good
band down, and its’ never been
more forcefully put than here.
Which is not to say that HIGH
TIME is a perfect album, by any
means. Most of side two, with the
exception of a lovely little chorus
run in Fred Smith’s “Over and
Over,” doesn’t hang together
exceptionally well. A large part
of the songs seem incomplete,
written around chord
progressions that quickly wear
thin and words that display the
lower edge of the school of right-
on lyrics. Rob Tyner’s “Future
Now” is the greatest offender in
this case, and through there are
some nice moves towards free
form sound on sound toward the
end, nothing ultimately is
developed or carried through.
Wayne Kramer’s “Poison” is a
little better, opening with a
lightening-like series of guitar
exchanges, but when Rob comes
in spitting words like “Nature,
and Peace”, one is reminded of
nothing so much as the Chambers
Brothers on a particularly V-
signed night. Things come to a
crashing finale with “Skunk”,
which moves well for its first half
of good ol’ kick-em out rock, and
then dies a tragicomic death with
the addition of some out of place
horns.
But if the second side leaves
much to be desired, side one is a
none-boner classic. “Sister
Anne”, about a nun who “doesn’t
give a damn about re-vo-lu-tion
She’s a liberated women, she got
her solutions”, is a top-flight
piece of work in the old tradition.
The MC5 whatever you might
have felt were their other faults,
always know how to play those I-
IV-V progressions like nobody’s
business, and they’re at their
finest here. The song is put
together like a charm, with a
great kicking piano and a long
soaring coda that carries you
without a hitch into a bizarre -
Salvation Army instrumental at
the end. Very good, any way you
look at it, and if there was ever a
suspicion that the MC5 would
never learn their way around the
recording studio, let it be quietly
put to rest now.
“Sister Anne” is only the
beginning. “Baby won’t Ya”
takes on where the Salvation
Army leaves off, all rollicking
choruses and guitar breaks.
Rob’s voice sounds strong and
sure throughout, and when he hits
the line about how “A lovely
senorita took me by the hand
She said ‘Whoo baby, won’t ya be
my man;” its easily worth
another notch on the volume dial.
From there, it’s tossed to Wayne
and “Miss X,” a ragingly
beautiful cut, helped along by a
massive organ, incredible words,
and a superb arrangement.
The record, though, is saved for
Dennis Thompson: his “Gotta
Keep Movin’ ” not only defines
the MC5 in the way that all of us
would like to remember them
throughout the past dismal year,
but also manages to pull in every
trick that literally made them the
most exciting band in America
for a brief and glorious time. It’s
all there, the precise breaks, the
madly screaming dual guitars,
the fanatic drive and energy.
Make no mistake, they shovel it
out as good as it ever gets, and
that’s pretty good indeed.
