Winter steelhead fights
like vicious tiger-NAC
Any angler tangling with the
winter steelhead almost feels
he's tangling with a trapped
tiger.
With the fury of one, the hooked "battler" puts up a fierce
struggle, goes in for wild acrobatics to free itself, Just one
more reckless. dive, or
spectacular leap, or long slashing run by the powerful fish
and the angler fears for his
gear, seeming about to bust.
But defeat this desperate, silvery fighter he does, and gets
for his efforts what experts consider to be one of the most
prized trophies, the most difficult fish just to hook, let alone
land,
For, time and again, points

of bait, approaches it as cautiously as a mouse does cheese.
Not even feeling the light bite,
countless angling novices lose
out, Not taking seriously the
suggestion of a a nibble, others
let the prize go. Not strikingthe
rod quickly enough, still others
could kick themselves,
Chalk it all up as luck? Luck
does enter the picture, as in
any type of fishing, but understanding has a great deal to do
' with success or failure.
Understand the steelhead and
its habits, Being anadromous,
and ocean-going rainbow trout,
this desirable catch rarely bites
until it returns to its native
stream to spawn.
So consider the annual winter
steelhead migration, the majority heading up California's north
coast streams to their birthplace
after one or two seasons in salt
water, after the heavy November and December rains.
Weighing up to 30 pounds, the
steelhead, unlike the salmon,

rigors of spawning, with the
young usually remaining in
freshwater for one or two seasons before migrating to the
ocean,
Luck or no, many beginners
are losers. For they stick to
small streams, while the steelhead stick to the main current,
the larger rivers. Sometimes
the wary fish wander surprisingly far upstream.
Fish where the fish are, advises NAC, and be a winner.
Bet on those spots north of
the Golden Gate. And choose
the head of a poo! just below a
riffle for your showdown with old
"steelie."
Although fishing where the
fish are, some novices keep
coming up empty-handed. And
they have improper gear to
blame. You can't help but notice the despair on the faces of
those who try taking the "battler". with rod, line, or reel
designed for salmon or other
trolling. Forget that heavy gear
unless you're a plunker,
But, to drift fish, that's the
most ‘productive means of landing steelhead. For this, a long,
willowy rod is a must. ‘And you
need a good reel, the best you
can afford.
Even with the right gear, certain poor. souls get "skunked."
The reason, according to NAC,
lies in their technique. To drift
fish, the general procedure calls
for casting your lure slightly
upstream, Allow it todrift slowly downstream close to the bottom, Reel in only enough line to
avoid slack.
Before trying for the elusive,
“steelie," find out such regulations as the hours and bag
limits in your selected area,
Hook the fierce steelhead and
he'll battle you with the desperate fury of a trapped tiger.
Sierra’s Planetarium

‘rhe sierra College vianetarium, one of the most unique instructional facilities on campus,
is soon going to have its doors

Planetarium has attracted nationwide interest through the
use of the teaching machines

These are somre of the
changes envisioned in 21st Century cities by Dr. Constantinos
A. Doxiadis of Athens, one of
the world’s foremost city planners and regional developers.
Currently, using the advantages of high-speed Sperry
Rand UNIVAC Computers, Dr.
Doxiadis and his international
Company of Doxiadis Associates are engaged in redevelopment of some of the most
congested cities and regional
areas of the world and in
planning the orderly development of new centers. of population. :
Dr. Doxiadis’ specialty is
EKISTICS—the science of human settlements—derived
trom an old Greek word to describe the. problems of the interrelationship of man with his
environment. Ekistics encompasses the analysis and evaluation of human setlements and
the influence upon them of
economic, social, political, adtechnical, and ministrative,
artistic and cultural factors.
One of the largest projects
underway today by the Doxiadis group is a regional study
starting from the urban Detroit
Area and extending to embrace
the Great Lakes Megalopolis,
the urban corridor running
fom Milwaukee through Chicago; Detroit, Toledo, and Cleveland to Pittsburgh. By the year
2000, Dr. Doxiadis believes this
area will be a greater population cluster than the Eastern
Megalopolis running from Bos.
ton to Washington.
To cope with the enormous
mass of-figures and other data
involved in such planning, the
Greek concern has found the

indispensable ally in the solution of complex problems.
Programs developed at the
Doxiadis Associates Computer
Center in Athens are transmitted for processing to a large
scale UNIVAC 1107 Computer
at the University of Stuttgart,
West Germany.
In a typical city planning project, the computer receives a
mass of data concerning the
population of the area with
considerable detail on its various characteristics. To this is
added information on the physical environment and the sys.tems network — transportation
facilities, highways, railroads,
etc. and essential utility services such as electric power,
gas and water supply.
From his information—which
represents an inventory of the
existing situation—the computer performs initially a “mapping. service,” providing
graphs for the visual interpretation of the data. The data is
further subjected to statistical
analysis and the underlying
characteristics of the existing
situation are determined. In
planning for the future, use is
made of mathematical models
providing the future characteristics of the population, — predicting its movements, composition and accompanying economic phenomena.
Modeling enables a multiplicity of assumptions to be ‘+
tried out and the respective
solutions to be placed under
the scrutiny of a broad range
of experts. Planners are thus
pioneering a way of penetrating systematically into the
darkness of the future through
interdisciplinary thinking.

More than 150 million pieces

“Too many veterans and their

Almost all of the 30 million
