Council, Students ApproveDemonstration GuidelinesA report establishing guidelines on

demonstrations within the University hasbeen accepted unanimously by the Uni-versity Council and by a vote of 471 to194 in a student referendum.While the Guidelines affirm the right

of individuals and groups to assemble anddemonstrate on campus, demonstrators arerestricted from conducting activities whichwould cause injuries to persons or propertyor which would interfere with the activi-ties of other persons.The report outlines standards for the

conduct of demonstrations and providesfor the establishment of a Committee ofOpen Expression, consisting of five stu-dents, five faculty members and two repre-sentatives of the administration. The Com-mittee will interpret the Guidelines andreview administrative decisions made un-der them.The Document as adopted was based

on the April 1968 report of the Commis-sion on Open Expression and Demonstra-tion on Campus, chaired by RobertMundheim, professor of law.

Student Affairs Division RevampedA reorganization proposal to consolidate

the eleven divisions now reporting to theVice-Provost for Student Affairs into five,or at most seven, divisions has been ap-proved by the University Trustees and willbecome effective July 1.The proposal was developed and sub-

mitted by Vice Provost Jack Russell withthe full support and approval of the SenateAdvisory Committee and Dr. David R.Goddard, provost of the University.The offices and titles proposed are:-Dean of Financial Aid and Admis-

sions, coordinating the functions of thetwo offices;-Dean of Residential Life, bringing to-

gether the two aspects, physical plant andprograms, in anticipation of a greatly in-creased residential population;-Dean of Students, coordinating orien-

tation, advising, and the various aspects ofcampus activities;-Director of Information and Planning,

an entirely new office which will relate theStudent Affairs Division to the DataProcessing and Operations Research facil-ities of the University.Two other possibilities are foreseen by

Mr. Russell. First, Houston Hall, togetherwith student activities, might form anothernew area at the level of Dean. Also, anoffice of career planning might be formedin the near future to subsume the advisoryoffices in medicine, law, and study abroad,and perhaps counseling. Mr. Russell alsonoted that the Office of International Serv-ices would move toward exploration inthe whole graduate student area.

In the approved reorganization, theDean of Men Gerald L. Robinson will be-come Dean of Residential Life; the Deanof Women Mrs. Alice F. Emerson will be-come Dean of Students; and the Dean ofAdmissions Dr. George Schlekat will be-come Dean of Admissions and FinancialAid.

Dr. Rodenberg joined the University in1953, the same year he received his Ph.D.from Washington University in St. Louis.Dr. Margolis comes from Stanford Uni-

versity where as Professor of Economicand Engineering-Economics he headed theInstitute of Public Policy Analysis. He isa widely recognized authority on publicfinance and urban government planning.The first director of the Fels Institute,

Dr. Stephen B. Sweeney, retired in 1967and Henry D. Harral, former Secretary ofHighways for Pennsylvania, has beenActing Director for two years.

Development ProgramExceeds $100 Million Mark

Gifts to the Development Program fornew buildings and endowment have passedthe $100 million mark, exceeding the goalof $93 million set late in 1964 and carry-ing the University into a new phase of itscapital program.The success of the campaign was an-

nounced by William L. Day, chairman ofthe Trustees, at a luncheon on May 1.Guests of honor at the luncheon were theholders of distinguished professorships cre-ated through the program.

Mr. Day noted that over $3 million ofthe capital funds had been given anonym-ously by 1,778 members of the University'sfaculties and staff. The generous exampleof the campus community, he said, proveda strong incentive to Pennsylvania alumniand alumnae, who contributed more than$27 million.

During the campaign, 27 new profes-sorial chairs were established, eighteen ofthese endowed and the other nine, theBenjamin Franklin Professorships, sup-ported by contributed funds. Scholarshipand fellowship endowments also increasedsignificantly.

In the same period, 15 major buildingprojects were completed on the campus,many of them financed with a combina-tion of public and private funds. Twomore buildings are virtually completed;

Council Committee Will ExamineProposal for a School of Black StudiesA recommendation from the Committee

on Afro-American Studies to establish aSchool of Black Studies will be consideredthis summer by an ad hoc UniversityCouncil committee.

University Withdraws SuitAgainst Westinghouse, KYWThe University last month withdrew its

$900,000 libel suit against the Westing-house Broadcasting Company, owner ofKYW radio station.The suit was filed late March in response

to a KYW charge that the University wasstill "holding at least 20 contracts with thedefense department, including one for thedevelopment of the XB-48 torpedo." Thebroadcast also charged that the studentshad been "intentionally misled by thePenn administration."A later retraction referred to the infor-

mation as "erroneous" and said that itwas "applicable not to the University ofPennsylvania but to Pennsylvania State."The management expressed their regret"that this instance occurred or that it re-flected negatively upon the reputation ofthe University."The administration found the retraction

satisfactory and recommended to the Ex-ecutive Board of the Trustees withdrawalof its suit against KYW. The ExecutiveBoard authorized the administration totake whatever action was thought neces-sary.

Bookstore Will IncreaseFaculty Discounts in JulyThe University of Pennsylvania Book-

store will increase its discounts to facultymembers on July 1, George Kidd, Jr.,director of the Bookstore, has announced.At that time faculty members will re-

ceive a discount of ten percent on refer-ence books and special-order items andtwenty percent on general interest booksin stock.

Currently, the Bookstore offers facultymembers a discount of five percent onreference books and eight percent on gen-eral interest and paperback books.

Students will continue to receive fivepercent and eight percent discounts.Kidd said the new faculty discount rate

will bring the Bookstore into line with thediscounts presently offered by local privatestores, publishers and other institutionalbookstores.Kidd noted that the effect of the in-

creased faculty discount on volume ofbusiness will be evaluated in one year andat that time the discount rate may againbe revised.

At a special meeting on May 8, theCouncil authorized the ad hoc committeeto consider questions relating to Afro andAfro-American studies in the Universityand in connection therewith the majorityand minority reports submitted by theCommittee on Afro-American Studies.

In carrying out its work, the ad hoccommittee will consult with the Commit-tee on Afro-American Studies, chaired byDr. Alfred J. Rieber, professor and chair-man of the history department, and withcommittees concerned with course pro-grams of the school in which courses re-lated to such studies are being or might begiven.The ad hoc committee is to report back

to the Council as promptly as possibleafter Labor Day.The proposed School of Black Studies

would have an undergraduate and graduatedivision, would award a BA in the fieldsof Black Studies and a Master's and doc-torate through the Graduate School ofArts and Sciences and would have its ownadmissions office and set its own admis-sions criteria.

In addition, the School would organizecourses designed to meet the particular in-terests of the Black Community.

College Supports ResolutionsSubmitted by Wilf CommitteeTwo resolutions submitted to the Col-

lege of Arts and Sciences from its 14member Committee on the Goals ofHigher Education have been approved bythe Faculty of the College.The two resolutions call for:" the introduction of strong supportive

programs for all students admitted underthe Special Admissions Procedure of theUniversity's Admissions Policy.

" the establishment of a College Com-mittee to identify deficiencies which mayexist in its instructional programs in Afro-American studies, and to assist in theircorrection. (This Committee would awaitany programs resulting from the currentstudy being conducted in this area andwould evaluate these programs for theCollege, wth particular regard to courseofferings, major programs and personnel).The Committee on the Goals of Higher

Education, headed by Dr. Herbert S. Wilf,professor of mathematics, placed particu-lar emphasis on the admission of disad-vantaged blacks who do not meet usualacademic standards.

Its report called for such supportiveprograms as summer remedial and enrich-ment work, student tutors and assignmentof an older student as advisor.

Teachers, Students, ParentsAre At Work DevelopingNew Writing Curriculum

Fifteen teachers, 25 pupils and sevenparents from West Philadelphia HighSchool met last month in Atlantic City tobegin shaping a new writing curriculumfor tenth-grade students.

Their conference is the start of a$33,000 study, underwritten by a U.S.Office of Education grant to the Universityof Pennsylvania, in which they will spenda year creating and testing a new set ofmaterials and methods for West Philadel-phia High School.

Mrs. Eileen M. Brown, motivation co-ordinator at the High School and a lecturerat the University, is Director of the EnglishInstitute, which met Saturdays at the Uni-versity during the final week of the SpringSemester and will hold a two-week seminarin August.

Following the planning stage, the Insti-tute will test its new materials and tech-niques in controlled classrooms next falland in regular classrooms the rest of theyear.

Instructors in the program are novel-ist John Wideman, assistant professor ofEnglish, and lecturer William R. Adams,a former English teacher now on the ad-missions staff at the University.

Dr. Barry Slepian, an English teacherat West Philadelphia High and lecturer atthe University, is consultant to the pro-gram.

Students are involved because they canbring criticism of the current curriculumand at the same time serve as a sourceof new ideas and as a sounding-board fornew proposals, Mrs. Brown said."We have seen that only a small per-

centage of our students are able to com-pete successfully with suburban students inpreparation for college and for jobs," Mrs.Brown said. "And we believe that betterwriting skills are essential to increase ourstudents' ability to compete."

There is a lack of emphasis on writingin high school English classes partly be-cause of the teachers' own backgrounds,she added. In this Institute, the teachersmust also write and evaluate their ownwork under the guidance of Widemanand Adams.

Sounds of Sitar, TablaTo Be Heard Next FallSounds of sitar, tabla, and other Indian

musical instruments will be heard at theUniversity when an expanded program inIndian music gets under way next fall.The JDR 3rd Fund has made available

to the University a grant of $44,400 forthe establishment of a program of instruc-tion and research in the performance prac-tice of Indian music. Dr. Harold Powersof the Department of South Asia RegionalStudies will direct the program.Two outstanding performers and teach-

ers of Hindustani (North Indian) classicalmusic, Sri Jnan Prakash Ghosh and Dr.Lalmani Misra, will be artists-in-residenceat the University during the academicyear 1969-70.

They will offer instruction in vocalmusic, sitar, tabla, and other instrumentsand will also collaborate with Dr. Powerson research in Indian musical structures.The Indian music performance program

is the initial phase of a Program in SouthAsian Performing Arts to be instituted bythe South Asia Regional Studies Depart-ment. Three courses will be offeredthrough the Program next year: the In-dian Musical Performance Practice course,Dr. Power's Introduction to Indian Music,and a course in Indian theatre. The newtheatre course will be taught by Dr. Clif-ford Jones, who is currently in Kerala(Southwest India) working on a projectin the history of the Indian theatre.

Black Business SymposiumHeld On Campus Last MonthA national cross section of black busi-

ness executives, government officials, andentrepreneurs met last month at the Uni-versity in an all-day National Black Busi-ness Symposium for Philadelphia areablack groups interested in developing man-agerial and entrepreneurial talent. Theobjective of the meeting was to help blackmen and women interested in managerialpositions realize the problems and oppor-tunities in becoming executives.Some 20 black leaders from across the

nation worked with area black studentsto explain the process of upward mobilityand the role of "black" thinking men inthe American economic system.

Attending the Symposium were studentsfrom the Community-Wharton EducationProgram, Cheyney State College and WestPhiladelphia High School. Also participat-ing were local entrepreneurs from theBusiness Practice Service (a consultinggroup comprised of Wharton School Grad-uate students which provides assistance toblack entrepreneurs).

Suburban Wives Study ProblemsOf Race, Welfare, EducationThe city's jargon, the city's concerns, do

not yet reach far into the suburban house-wife's daily life, but 25 women from the"greene Country Townes" around Phila-delphia are nevertheless studying thelanguage and make-up of the urban crisisnow.At the University's Human Resources

Center, the women are enrolled in an ex-perimental Suburban Training Program inUrban Problems, jointly financed by aCommonwealth of Pennsylvania Title Igrant and the University.

They have just completed an intensivesix-week course on city problems, learningfacts and figures and hearing projectionsfrom leading educators, urban planners andother specialists on the structure of citylife in the future.Now they will begin conducting discus-

sion groups in their own communities,where most of the women are already ac-tive in church and civic affairs.

Finally they will compile the results oftheir experiences in suburbia, and their"feedback" will become a resource formore advanced training in the future.The Alumnae Association of the Uni-

versity of Pennsylvania was responsible forstarting the course, according to Dr. How-ard E. Mitchell, director of the Center,but not all of the trainees are Pennsylvania

Faculty Club Will GrantTrial Membership This Year

All newly appointed fully affiliatedassistant professors and administrative per-sonnel eligible for membership and earn-ing $12,000 or under, will be granted atrial membership at the Faculty Club fromJuly 1 through December 31 of this yearwithout payment of membership fees.

graduates. The membership ranges fromnon-college women to those with advanceddegrees; from career women and youngmothers to matrons.

Their unifying force is the drive to dosomething about the urban crisis. As oneyoung mother, who has lived in both cityand suburb, summed it up:

"I know urban problems do not stop atthe city line, but I also know how easy itis to pretend from the other side of theline that they do."

Questions of black power and whitebacklash, of taxation, welfare, transporta-tion and education were among the manyintricate city and suburban relationshipsthe trainees studied in preparation for theirroles as discussion leaders.

In their training program the womenwere taught by Dr. Mitchell; demographer-sociologist Dr. Edward E. Cahill; and Rob-ert York, a junior author and Project Co-ordinator on the recent Coleman Report,"Equality of Educational Opportunity."The program staff was under the direc-

tion of Mrs. Martha Lowell. She and anaide, Mrs. Joan Dickstein, will continueas advisors to the group in the field workand evaluation phases.

Postdoctoral FellowshipsAwarded to Bass, Cardona

Dr. Bass, who is also associate curatorof the Mediterranean Section and Under-water Archaeology at the University Mu-seum, plans to spend this summer inTurkey directing the underwater excava-tion in the Mediterranean Sea of a Romanmerchant vessel dating from the fifth orsixth century A.D. In the fall he will goto Cambridge University in England wherehe will be a visiting scholar at St. John'sCollege.

Dr. Cardona plans to continue his studyof grammarians of India dating from thethird century, B.C., to the seventeenth cen-tury, A.D., comparing the varying tradi-tions of grammar in Sanskrit and the In-dian vernaculars (Prakrits )-and analyz-ing how and why their theories of gram-mar differ. He also plans to comparetheir traditions with the Graeco-Romanlinguistic tradition and with more recentgrammatical theories.

$100,000 Aids Mantua AreaIn Self-Help, Planning EffortsA $100,000 grant to the University of

Pennsylvania has been given by the FordFoundation to assist the Mantua Com-munity Planners in self-help and planningefforts in the predominantly black com-munity north of the campus.The University's link with the Mantua

Community Planners is through ProjectMANTUA, in which prominent facultymembers advise and help implement theprograms of the group and its presidentAndy Jenkins.

Jenkins, a former gang leader and co-founder with Herman Wrice of the YoungGreat Society, organized the Mantua Com-munity Planners about a year ago to repre-sent local residents in dealings with theCity Planning Commission and the pro-posed Bicentennial, and in projects whichinvolve education, economic improvementand neighborhood rehabilitation.The University's Project MANTUA assists

Grant Given to City PlanningFor Support of Black StudentsThe Ford Foundation has awarded a

$115,000 grant to the Graduate School ofFine Arts to support the training of blackstudents in city planning during the nextthree years.

Dr. Paul L. Niebanck, chairman of thedepartment of city planning, said the grantwill help recruit and train at least 24black planners who will enter the graduateprogram in three stages: ten students in1969, eight in 1970 and six in 1971.

Recruitment for the program will bedone by four currently enrolled blackmaster candidates in planning.The Ford Foundation funds will be used

primarily for tuition and fees, with$10,000 of it earmarked for enrichmentprograms, development of new curriculumand other supporting activities.

In recent years the city planning depart-ment has in several ways attacked thefinancial problem which prevents studentsfrom attending graduate school.One such program is the work-study

plan set up in 1967 with the PhiladelphiaCity Planning Commission and other cityagencies as well as a variety of neighbor-hood organizations. This program allowsstudents to work part-time in city govern-ment or elsewhere while attending schoolfull-time under a special work-study cur-riculum.The Ford Foundation program will be

conducted within the framework of thework-study curriculum, with employmentprovided through the City Planning Com-mission and the Delaware Valley RegionalPlanning Commission.

$100 Million Given...(Continued from page 1)

half a dozen other large projects are underconstruction.

Athough the dollar goals set in 1964have been surpassed, Mr. Day said a num-ber of the University's building objectivesremained to be fully funded because of ris-

ing construction costs and the emergenceof new physical needs while the campaignwas in progress.The new phase of the capital program,

therefore, calls for completing the financ-

ing of the unfulfilled 1964 objectives andall of the newer projects to "get them offthe drawing boards before costs gohigher," Mr. Day said. Among the orig-inal projects still awaiting ground-breakingare the Wharton School's Vance Hall, theUniversity Graduate Center, and theHumanities Building. The Projects addedto the priority list since 1964 include newbuildings for the Chemistry Departmentand the Computer Center and extensiverenovations of the Medical LaboratoriesBuilding and Houston Hall, among others.
