SCUE Gives New Ideas For Major Field

A SCUE-initiated program that would allow College undergrad- uates to map out their own inter- disciplinary fields of concentration, will be considered today by the College Committee on Instruction.

The proposal, known as "Individ- ualized Major Program,'" sets up machinery "whereby a student, with faculty assistance, could develop an individualized course of study, which would then be approved by a faculty committee," according to Steven Marder, charman of the Student Committee on Undergrad- uate Education.

Marder said that the program would especially help students do- ing work in areas that cross the boundaries of the traditional aca- demic disciplines. He cited urban studies and bio-physics as two examples of the new interdisciplin- ary approach.

The proposal also makes it pos- sible for particularly popular "maj- or programs" to be officially incor porated as new majors.

on charges of unlawful possession of dangerous drugs Saturday night in the largest LSD raid in Phila- delphia history. Four others were also arrested and held in $2500 bail after a raid at the Greater Phila- delphia Psychedelic Center.

A new kind of social conflict is brewing on the northern bord- ers of the Pennsylvania campus— a struggle that could soon be re- peated in nearly every American City.

Urban redevelopment is forcing 574 families in University City Area III, the 105-acre area imme- diately north of the campus, to find new homes.

To most people, urban renewal is a hopeful-sounding term that suggests plowing under slums and planting parks and skyscrapers in their place.

Hopkins Editors Suspended BALTIMORE, Md., Jan. 16 (CPS)

—Two editors of the Johns Hop- kins University Newsletter were suspended from school last Friday after running a bitter spoof of Pres- iden Johnson in their paper.

Carl Swanson, Dean of Under- graduate Affairs, said that the two co-editors, Melvin Schuster and Henry Korn, were suspended short- ly after University President Milton Eisenhower saw a copy of the article.

Eisenhower was reported furious when he saw the article.

Asked how he could reconcile freedom of the press with the de-

cision to suspend the students, the president said, "Don't ask a stupid question like that. That newspaper is subsidized by the University. It's paid for by us. It's a house organ."

Following a meeting between the two editors and Eisenhower and University Dean William Shaffer on Monday, the administrators decided to send the case to the Student government. SG has the power to remove the editors from their posi- tions on the paper.

The article, appearing on page five, listed President Johnson on a "Man of the Year" ballot along

Not Ready for Honor After a three-semester trial period, most Pennsylvania

undergraduates have written off the academic honor system as a failure.

A significant number of Pennsylvania students opposed the honor code from the beginning, and those who initially viewed the system with indifference are now resentful be- cause they feel it was imposed upon them by a few adminis- trators.

There are two important preconditions which are neces- sary if an honor system is to function effectively on a uni- versity campus. First, there must be a tightly knit, well- integrated classroom situation which is conducive to a stimulating academic atmosphere; and second there must be enthusiastic student response to an academic honor code. Both conditions are sadly lacking at Pennsylvania. Rather than waiting for an improved educational atmosphere to support an honor code, the University has tried to use the code to foster an improved atmosphere.

The results have been unfortunate. The Pennsylvania honor system has failed to make a

significant dent in the academic atmosphere of the Univer- sity. Those students who would not even consider cheating during an examination feel that the system is an inconven- ience because they cannot ask questions about unclear points in an examination when the instructor is out of the room. Those students who do occasionally cheat are given a free ticket because their fellow students are reluctant to exercise third-party responsibility — which means turning in their classmates for cheating. Moreover, the effect of the honor code has failed to cover academic work outside of examina- tions. The most common form of cheating, copying research papers and English compositions, is still widespread. It would be only realistic to admit that the honor system has had little effect on academic work at the University.

# * *

An honor code must be built on a sound foundation of academic achievement and intellectual stimulation. It must be supported by an overwhelming number of undergraduates who feel that their education will be enhanced by an honor system. The initial student response to the honor code cer- tainly did not indicate that Pennsylvania students felt they wanted or needed an honor code. A questionnaire designed to determine student support for the code showed that a major- ity of those questioned favored an honor system. But the small number of questionnaires returned, compared to the total number of students at Penn, render the results questionable.

Columbia University employed a far more effective pro- cedure last fall when undergraduates were asked whether they felt an honor system could effectively be implemented at their University. Officials stated that they would employ an honor system only if 50% of the student body cast a ballot and 66% of this number voted favorably. The proposed honor code failed to gain the required support, and Columbia decided to discard the code, rather than try to force the under- graduates to accept something they obviously didn't want.

The possibilities of a workable honor code may have been demonstrated at several other universities, but there is little in the academic environment at Pennsylvania to in- dicate that it can succeed at this time.

The honor system should be placed in abeyance until an overwhelming majority of students at the University start caring more about the content of their courses than about the final grades; until drop-and-add ceases to be a frantic search for the perfect "gut"; until copying of term papers and outright cheating on examinations is no longer a well-traveled avenue to scholastic achievement.

Any sampling of the current academic atmosphere at Penn indicates that this day is a long way off.

Redevelopment (Continued from Page 1)

with the City Planning Council, argue that renewal in Area III will benefit all the people of Phila- delphia in the next decade. Accord- ing to the Authority, hundreds of new jobs will be created with the construction of a Science Center, Medical Center and high school. More important, the research activ- ities of the University City Science Center will stimulate new thinking and create new jobs in industry, education and government.

Higher Living Standard The Science Center, a tax-paying

enterprise, is now partially in oper- ation in its first building, a reno- vated printing plant, at 34th and Market Streets. The Science Cen- ter is sponsored by 13 institutions of higher education and research- oriented companies and organiza- tions.

When completed, its Science Re- search Institute, Industrial Re- search Laboratories and Conference Center expected to stimulate local enterprises such as parking garages, restaurants and a con- ference hotel. The Science Center will also mobilize scientific re- search and development in the Mid- dle Atlantic states, promote the establishment of businesses and industries, and coordinate research and education with the needs of government and industry. The final result of this, says the Redevelop- ment Authority, will be a higher standard of living for all Philadel- phians.

Medical Center Slated The second part of the renewal

scheme calls for a Medical Center co-sponsored by Presbyterian Hos- pital and the University. The new facilities will reportedly augment medical research, improve nurses' education, enlarge office facilities for doctors and increase the num- ber of hospital beds in the Phila- delphia area. In this way, the Au- thority feels, the Medical Center will promote better health for the citizens of Area III and of Phila- delphia.

A new high school, a third pro- ject planned for Area III, will emphasize science and technical instruction. The school's new teach- ing techniques will allegedly pro-

duce better prepared graduates for industry and college.

Residents Not Consulted In 1961 the Redevelopment Au-

thority employed a group of archi- tects headed by Robert Geddes of Princeton University to make a sur- vey and present a plan for the re- newal of University City Area III. The survey took 18 months; but the residents were not consulted in any way concerning the renewal plans.

In May 1963, Geddes submitted a plan calling for the total demo- lition of all residential structures in Area III. The plan completely ig- nored the Redevelopment Author- ity's policy that residential struc- tures be rehabilitated wherever pos- sible.

In University City Area III there are 574 families that would be dis- located by urban renewal; nearly 90 per cent of the families are non- white. Most residents are merely tenants and are not particularly concerned about being dislocated. But there are 138 owner-occupants who feel they will suffer from cur- rent urban renewal schemes.

Also, most of the people in this area are in a low income bracket and are over 65 years of age. Thus, the loss of their private property would represent a loss of personal worth and dignity that is irre- placable.

Prolong Segregation As a result, opposition to the

Geddes' plan began immediately. A fear soon crept over the neighbor- hood that redevelopment in Area

JOHN CLAY Protects Redevelopment

III is designed to prolong segrega- tion and social inequalities. The loss of property is believed to be designed to push them further back into the ghetto and destroy their respectability. They feel that some provisions should be made for them especially the homeowners, inside Area III.

This fear helped set the stage for a long, bitter fight between he resi- dents and the Redevelopment Au- thority, over whether Area III would be a rehabilitated residen- tian area or a sterile research and commercial complex.

The battle raged for three years until a shaky compromise was reached in 1964. But a number of residents still fight on.

Attention Pledge Class of 67

Winter of Discontent By Charles Krause

Formal rush is finally over. Approximately one half of the men in the Freshman class have accepted bids to join fraternities. As absurd as rush may sometimes be—and freshmen are increasingly aware of the artificial nature of the rush system—they may not realize that they are about to observe (and par- ticipate in) a spectacle which may remind them of the sacking of Rome (as Cecil B. DeMille would have had it sacked).

Rituals of Pledging For some ungodly reason fraternities once de-

vised, and continue to practice, pledging. It is true that pledging is not what it once was. Most frater- nities at Penn no longer brand their neophytes; many have given up paddling as an initiation ritual. Calls in the middle of the night are somewhat passe. Sweat sessions which extend late into the night are still quite popular, and line-ups virtually indispen- able.

Hell weeks or weekends flourish at Penn. The common justifications for them are many; it is often felt that if "it was good enough for me, it is good enough for them." If a boy can get through hell week, he "really wants the house." Hell week is an institution which has become a part and parcel of fraternity, and woe unto him who attempts to modify or abolish the more brilliant parts of that tradition. After all, perhaps physical over-exertion and forty- eight sleepless hours do show that a neophyte de- serves to be a "brother."

End of Idealism Pledging as an abstract idea has its own curious

justifications. Freshmen at Penn are rushed for a whole semester. They are often made to feel that they are extraordinary human beings. After rush

500 Rowbottom On the Thursday after that CRO

meeting 500 dormitory residents staged a rowbottom and hanged Craft in effigy. The next day Jerry Rifkin, President of the senior class, and Conroy issued a state- ment that the Dean promised a significant change in the hours early in the next semester.

Then last Tuesday the MRB unanimously voted to offer a new proposal — midnight and 1 a.m. Describing this plan, Conroy said, "I think we can get the new pro- posal through without any delay. The other one might not have been passed until next semester, and I didn't think it would be fair to the residents to play around getting it."

The Committee's recommendation to Levin also includes a proposal to close McClelland Hall to women at 1 a.m. on both nights. To provide some other facility for the stu- dents, Craft and oCnroy are now investigating the possibility of keeping Houston Hall open until 1 a.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday nights.

Conroy noted that the MRB will soon distribute a questionnaire to the dormitory residents covering every aspect of life in the dormi- tories: parietal hours during the week, lounges, rooms, food, apart- ments, fraternities, academics, ac- tivities, and social life. He said, "We hope to find out exactly what improvements the men really want and what they would like done to better life in the dorms."

Problems of War and Peace will hold a meeting today in Room 11, Houston Hall, to plan a program for the spring semester.

comes pledging to deflate their obviously inflated egos. For some reason, it is thought that the fresh- man is not ready to join a fraternity until he has done hundreds of push-ups. If nothing else, this knocks some of his idealism out of his head—which may very well be as it should be.

Like "Pygmalion" The pledging system is a cross between "Taming

of the Shrew" and "Pygmalion." After spending hundreds of hours and dollars persuading freshmen to join a particular house, he must be made ready to join the wise and refined ranks of Brand X fraternity.

What is most unfortunate about pledging is the feelings it often arouses in the unsuspecting fresh- man. Until pledging begins, "frat men" are on their best behavior. They are as polite, witty, and courteous as they can possibly be. During the two or three months of pledging they use the artificial superiority which the system creates to vent daily frustrations. Overnight, personalities change and a freshman may experience tremendous disillusionment.

when finally initiated, the freshman is expected to forget and forgive and the family is again one big happy. Alienation may quite possibly be the result.

Negative System The pledging system, however often it is called

"constructive," is a negative one. It demands sub- missiveness and regimentation. Yet it is supposed to "unite the class." One seriously wonders if it accomplishes its goals—and certainly if those goals might not be better accomplished without the ridicu- lous rituals presently involved.

Welcome neophytes! The winter of your discon- tent certainly awaits you.

The View From Here

Strange Things David B. Sachsman

Slowly but surely, without anyone noticing it, the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania is blowing its mind.

Strange things are happening; weird things; things that point to insanity as the University's plane of existence.

Chief on the list of unbelievable occurrences on the Penn campus is the appointment of three apparently unqualified "part-time" assistant deans of men to replace two full-time professionals.

Anyone who has ever dealt with the Office of the Dean of Men knows that Robert Clappier and Guy Aneselmo were the men who got all the "busy work" done. They ran the

—which is as it should be—leaving the Dean time to

Party Unity

Republican Revival By CRISSY GRED

Since 1964 and the ignominious defeat of Republican Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater, the Re- publican Party has come a long way toward reinstating itself as an active and integral part of the two party system. Once again the party has assumed its role as spokesman for a segment of the population.

The 1966 election results, in which the Republicans showed sig- nificant gains in both state and local contests, illustrated two points.

First, that the nation is grow- ing increasingly discontented with Democratic executive and legisla- tive policies (largely a result of dis- satisfaction with the war in Viet- nam) and that there is a desire for change.

New Ideas Second, it seems that the nation

as a whole is looking to and rec- ognizing in the new Republican Party and its young leadership a viable force that has new ideas to

no certain economic future for Pennsylvania. Factors such as pop- ulation growth, new industries, and technological progress are unpre- dictable. Winn also speculated on the use of atomic energy as a pow- er source and all its unforseen con- sequences. Another unknown: "The health sciences industry is one that is growing rapidly especially in the Philadelphia area," he said. "We don't start to know what this is going to mean to the state."

The main problem, as Winn sees it, is to attract rapidly growing industries, such as service indus- tries to the state. Also, since Penn- sylvania has such a small labor pool, Winn is looking for "ways to make the labor pool more produc- tive."

Winn, besides holding this post and his position as Dean of the Wharton School, is Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

offer and meaningful alternatives to propose.

The 1966 election victories pre- sented to the public at least six Re- publican hopefuls; men who give indications they will use their re- spective executive positions as stepping stones to higher office (and possibly the White House). But this divided leadership is one of the big problems now facing the Republican Party.

This problem essentially involves cooperation. The Republican candi- dates in state and local races in 1966 functioned independently. They all ran as "Republicans," but their programs were designed to fit the needs of their particular states.

What is now needed is a resur- gence of Republican initiative on the national scene. It is time for Republican Party leaders and Presi- dential hopefuls to get together, discuss their political ideas, resolve their differences, and finally arrive at a comprehensive party platform that unites the Republican leader- ship and electorate.

Leaders and Platform Once the party platform has been

established, the next step must be the choosing of two men who are most capable of rallying public support for that platform, the would-be Presidential and Vice- Presidential candidates.

These two steps — establishment of a clearly defined party platform and selection of leaders — will create for the party a unified image and will insure its perpetuation as a strong and united unit.

The need for clarification of Re- publican position on important is- sues is highlighted by the failure of such hopefuls as Romney and Reagan to state clearly their posi- tions on the crucial Vietnam ques- tion.

The Republican Party can score an initial victory simply by coming forward and candidly stating its position — something the incum- bent have failed to do.

deal with policy rather than with everyday trivia.

Cut Red Tape Clappier and Anselmo knew the ins and outs of the

Penn campus. They knew who was responsible for what and how the numerous red-tape machineries on the campus work. Most importantly, they knew how to get around the red-tape when necessary.

But Clappier and Anselmo are gone; gone to greener pastures, and the University has replaced them with three young men who are apparently unqualified to step into their shoes—however small those shoes may be.

Bill Boggs III was president of Alpha Tau Omega when he graduated from Penn in 1962. He received a master's degree from the Annenberg School in 1964. Since that time he has been a public relations copywriter and a "show busi- ness" press agent.

Boggs is replacing Clappier as assistant dean for student activities. How did he get the job? Through ATO? He will be trying to do a job "part-time" that kept Clappier a consistent two weeks behind even working full-time. Has the University gone mad?

Grad Student Dean Martin Duffy didn't even go to Penn. He graduated from

Tufts in 1963 and spent the next two years in the Seabees. Duffy is currently a graduate student in the Wharton School.

Somehow or other, Duffy was appointed to replace Ansel- mo as assistant dean for fraternities. He has no apparent qualifications for the job and although we understand that graduate work at Wharton ain't so tough, it must be quite a load to carry when combined with an assistant deanship. All in all, Duffy's appointment is a bad ioke—but no one is laughing.

Last but not least, Paul Hiller graduated from Penn last year. Heller will be serving not as an assistant dean but rather as an assistant to the dean.

Hiller will just have enough time to learn how the office works before he enters military service at the end of the present semster. What a waste. No business in its right mind would hire someone four months before he joins the service, unless of course he plans to return following the completion of his military obligation.

Probablv Won't Return And does Hiller plan to return to Penn? No one knows

because Hiller doesn't know. He is "unsure." Nice work Penn. You've got a live one here.

The University was crippled by the loss of Clappier and Anselmo and instead of attempting to find suitable replace- ments, chose to go searching for "bargains."

Competent assistant deans of men cost a great deal of money. They must be stolen from other universities. But graduate students and men waiting to fulfill their military service come cheap. The undergraduate men of the University of Pennsylvania are being cheated.

Strange things are indeed happening on the Penn campus and they're not all happening on the administration level.

Student Government? Once upon a time, this campus had two parties—you

know—two party system—democracy—and all that stuff. But apparently the Action party has given up (it's called a merger) and the Red and Blue Action party now controls the entire government.

This year's government has proved to be ineffectual and it's frightening to think that this same old terrible government may get itself reelected by default (since so far it is the only party qualified to run on the ballot). The only hope on the horizon seems to be the fledgling New University Party. Nothing is yet known about it, but then again—nothing could be worse than the present one-party government. Sign the petitions and get the New University Party in the race. Anything is better than stagnation.

It's trade- In time for tired **ld myths. Like the one about business. Especially big business. That it is beyond the rugged individualist's wildest daydream to enter this holy of holies because he'll lose some- thing that's very sacred — like his inde- pendence.

Sure, it can happen. If a guy or gal wants to hide, or just get by, or not accept responsibility, or challenges.

We're not omniscient enough or stupid enough to speak for all business, but at a company like Western Electric, bright ideas are not only welcome, they are en- couraged. And no door is shut. Create a little stir, go ahead, upset an old apple- cart (we replace shibboleths at a terrific pace — we have to as manufacturing and supply unit of the Bell System — in order to provide your Bell telephone company with equipment it needs to serve you.)

There's an excitement in business. True, were in it to make a profit, but working to

find new and better ways to make things that help people communicate is very re- warding and satisfying. Did you ever hear these wry words of Oliver Wendell Holmes? "Never trust a generality — not even this one."

That's how we feel about the generality that claims you'll just become a little cog in a company like Western Electric. You might, of course, but if you consider your- self an individual now, odds are 10 to 1 that you'll keep your individuality. And cherish it. And watch it grow. Even at big, big Western Electric.

You know, that's the only way we'd want you to feel. If you feel like coming in with us.

Penn Rally Falls Short As Hawks Dump Cagers, 85 - 78

Cornell Heavyweight Seals Mat Win Over Quakers

Penn's wrestlers fell behind 14-2 competition, Erie Jim Miller's to a weaker-than-usual Cornell squad, but the match wasn't decid- ed until ths final bout when Big Red heavyweight Tom Havens nip- ped Penn's Jim O'Connel, 4-2.

Havens' win made the final score 19-13 in the meet held at Ithaca Saturday night. Penn now stands winless in two Ivy matches and 1-2 overall. Cornell is now 1-4.

In the opening bout, Mike Han- non drew with Cornell's Herb Scherzer. The Big Red then won four straight decisions as Dick Beck, Dennis Wright, Joh Pheeg and Don New ripped through the Quakers middle weights.

But, at 160-lbs, the Red and Blue started a rally of their own. Tom Haney beat Mike Manor, and then Joe Geeb remained undefeated crushing Dick Minekime 15-1.

After Dave Labosky wrestled a Iraw with Pete Woodworth, Tom- ny Traud came through with an exciting 4-3 win over Curt Barry md Don Frey's squad was only three points down.

But, that was as close as they ever got. Havens, a tackle of Cor- nell's football squad, won the final match to wrap up the defending Ivy champion's first win of the year.

A victory would have been sweet for the Quakers this weekend Since the inception of the Ivy League, Cornell has lost but three matches and Penn has never defeated the New Yorkers on the mats. Now in their twelfth year of League

Frosh Squad Scores Fourth Squash Win

The Freshman racquetmen brought Coach Maurice Heckscher's prediction of an undefeated season two steps closer last week when they mauled unbeaten Haverford School 61- last Friday and drub- bed Hill School 6-2 Wednesday.

Preseason speculation marked Episcopal Academy as Penn's toughest opponent, and Coch Heck- scher was worried when Haverford upset their Inter-Ac rival, 4-3. In that match. Palmer Page, Episco- pal's number one man and ranked seventh nationally for juniors in 1965-66, was upended by the Fords' Jeff Condon.

Although Condon, a stocky sen- ior who wants to come to Penn next year, prevailed over Penn's previously unbeaten ace, Mason Gerhart, the rest of the yearlings came through victoriously.

Peter Singer (4-0), Bert Wheeler (4-0), and Alan Hassenfeld (3-1) didn't lose a game, while Doug Prior (4-0) won in four games. Carl Kugel (3-1) and J. Riley (4-0) both were extended to five.

Coach Heckscher was pleased more by his squad's calibre of play than by the results. "At Hill we only had two days of practice after looked lousy.

"With one more day of practice under our belts there was a big im- provement. We are relatively inex- perienced, and we don't have as much natural talent as last year, but we are coming along very well, especially Singer and wheeler."

By JIM RESTIVO The Big Five contest had been billed as a match between hot-

shooting Hawk center Cliff Anderson and a tall rebound-hungry Penn five, but in the end it was a Quaker benchwarmer who almost engineer- ed an upset victory, only to be denied by a Hawk sub, 85-78 Satur- day at the Palestra.

The City series match got off to a slow start as each squad made mistake after mistake. A St. Joseph's full court press forced the Red and Blue into hurried, and sometimes inaccurate passes, while the Hawks could never mount a balanced attack at their own end of the court. With Ail-American candidate Anderson leading the first half battle with 14 points. St. Joes gradually pulled away to an intermis- sion lead. 35-27.

Hawk guard Steve Donches opened the second half with a jump- er, Penn's Jeff Osowski followed with a two-pointer of his own, and then Mike Kempski hit his 10th point of the evening for a 39-29 spread.

Kempski, a senior who has warmed the St. Joseph's bench during his varsity career, became the key man in the Hawk offense. The 6.3 forward, who entered the game with a 5.7 ppg. average ended the night with 20 points while the Red and Blue was concentrating on stopping the talented Anderson.

Enter Pier sail With Kempski, Anderson, and a full-court press, St. Joes widen-

ed their lead to 58-45 with 8:48 left to play. Penn called a time out, and coach Dick Harter put in soph subsitutes Steve Piersall and Deck- er Ulhorn to play with his starting trio of Pete Andrews, Charlie Snell, and Tom Northrup.

Piersall almost turned the tide. The 5'8" guard canned a three point play, then a jump shot. Kempski hit a couple of fouls and An- derson hit a jumper to give the Hawks their biggest lead, 64-50.

But Penn's "little men" fought back. Snell popped a corner shot, Piersall drove for two more, and Andrews added two free throws. With Piersall driving under the now-taller Hawk squad, and Snell, who finished the contest 14 points, hitting from the corner, the Quak- ers narrowed the gap to 77-71 with less than three minutes remaining.

Piersall drove down the lane for two more, and St. Joes quickly countered at their end. At this point, Anderson, who had earlier set a St. Joseph's scoring mark of 1,490 points for his career in the first half, slugged the hustling Pier- sall and was ejected.

But it was too late as far as Penn was concerned. Jack McKin- ney ordered a freeze, and both teams began making frequent trips to the foul lane. As time ran out on the Quakers, the Hawks had dealt them their eighth defeat of the campaign, 85-78.

Anderson and Kempski ended up with 51 points between them, while "Little Steve" was high man for Penn with 18. In the rebounding department, Frank Burgess was high with 13, as the Quakers out- boarded the city rivals, 44-42.

Frank Burgess and St. Joseph's Al Grundy battle for a rebound in Saturday's action at the Palestra. "Big Frank" led all rebounders with 13.

Fencers Drop Girard, 20-7

The freshman fencing squad won its second straight match Saturday when it downed Girard College, 20- 7.

Four Quakers were undefeated during the course of the afternoon —Ron King (foil), David Yue (sa- bre), Jeff Sterling (epee), and Leon Hart (epee) — but Girard's Danny Sims was the meet's outstanding fencer, winning two foil and two sabre matches for four of Girard's seven victories.

Penn won the foil bouts 7-2, the sabre 7-2, and the epee 6-3. Coach Lajos Csiszar's charges will face Princeton's frosh at home next Saturday in a crucial test for both squads.
