Challenging PECO: The University and theBuildingOwnersand ManagersAssociation ofPhiladelphia are jointly challenging the Phila-delphia Electric Company's request foran $8.4million steam rate increase. An AdministrativeLaw Judge has recommended only a $3.8 mil-lion increase which would result in avoidedcosts of $700,000 on next year's energy billhere. In addition, the Judge has recommendeda full scale investigation of PECO's steam sys-tem. A final ruling on the Judge's recommen-dation by the full Public Utilities Commissionis expected by April 28.

The following statement was releasedhrActing Vice Provost George Koval on Frida; March 25, 1983. to thepresidentofthe A.TO. undergraduate chapter, the chapter adviser, the headofthe local alumnichapter and the executive directorofthenational A.TO. organization.

Withdrawal of Recognition of Alpha Tau OmegaThe governance procedures for fraternitiesand sororitiesdeveloped in

conjunction with the lnterfraternity Alumni Council and the Inter-fraternity and Panhellenic Councils charge the Vice Provost forUniversity Life with the final responsibility for determining Universityrecognition of fraternities. Within the framework for self-governance,clear expectations have been setfor the conduct of fraternities within theUniversitycommunity and the ways in which they are responsiblefor theactions of their members. The significant portions of the governancepolicy provide that each recognized fraternity or sorority must:

Accept collective responsibility for the activities of individual members of theundergraduate chapter as they relate to" the conduct of members and conduct of guests of members which is

knowingly tolerated by the members ofthe fraternity and is in violation ofthe University's code of conduct

" the obligation to cooperate with the administrative and law enforcementfunctionsofthe University.

" the educational and student development programs of the fraternity orsorority.

Each recognized fraternity or sorority isexpected to contribute positively to theUniversity community and to the development of the individual fraternitymember in his role as student at the University.In accord with those procedures and expectations the recognition

status ofthe Tau Chapter of Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity has been thesubject offormal reviewin light ofcharges that membersofthefraternityduring and following the night of Thursday. February 17, 1983, con-ducted themselves, and tolerated conduct in members, in ways thatseriously violated the individual rights of a guest in the fraternity andtreated the incident lightly until the matter was seriously investigated.These charges are extremely serious: They raise questions about themanner in which the fraternity has exercised the privilege of self-governance, of conduct without supervision. Indeed, the charges causeus to examine fundamental principles of conduct which define us as acommunity and asa civilized society.

After careful consideration of the reports ofthe incident of February17, including the report presented by the fraternity, and of the recom-mendationofthe Fraternity/ Sorority Advisory Board, I regretfully havereached the following decision:" Effective immediately, the University's recognition of Alpha Tau Omega

Fraternity is withdrawn." The National A.T.O. Fraternity may submit a detailed plan for reconstitution

of the chapter and for provisional recognition for the University to review.However, no active chapter of A.T.O. will be permitted to exist on thiscampus earlier than September. 1984.

" No present member(or pledge) of A.T.O. will be permitted to participate inany recolonized chapter in the future.

Withdrawal of recognition means the loss of all affiliation with theUniversity and its fraternity system, and the consequent disbanding ofthe student chapter on campus. The Office of Fraternity Affairs, undermy direction, will take steps immediately to plan with the Alpha TauOmega officers, and its local and national representatives, an orderlytransition to be completed by the end of the current semester.

The procedure for formal review has included investigations by theUniversity Judicial Officer and the Office of Fraternity Affairs, withsubsequent review and recommendation by the Fraternity/ SororityAdvisory Board. Both the Advisory Board members and the Office ofFraternity Affairs have consulted directly with the student chapterleaders, the representatives of the local Alumni Corporation and theExecutive Director of the national Alpha Tau Omega Fraternity withwhich the local chapter is affiliated. The matter has been heard by theAdvisory Board and I have given due weight and consideration to itsrecommendations. I have, in turn, consulted with the Provost and thePresident, who concur in my decision.

Withdrawal of recognition is not unprecedented at Pennsylvania,(many will remember the closing of KappaSigma in 1981) but it isastepthat can onlybetaken with the utmostgravity. Withdrawal has the effectof formally servering the University's relations with a student under-graduate chapter and an alumni corporation. The impact on studentlives and alumni commitments and loyalties are real and sustained andcannot be minimized. At the same time, withdrawal of recognitionbecomes the onlyalternative when the health ofthe Fraternity! Sororitysystem itself is at stake, whenthecredibilityand reputationofthe system,and by extension the University community, has suffered damage as aresult of actions of one house. Explicit in the meaning of fraternityrecognition is the understanding that should "standards decline in waysthat would expose the University to liability or loss of reputation," thendisaffiliation is a path of choice. I believe that disaffiliation is warrantedin the case ofAlpha Tau Omega Fraternity.

I am aware of the view of members of Alpha Tau Omega that theyhave been the object of overzealous response by the administration topublic pressure. I believe they have hadfull opportunity to be heard and Ihave considered their characterization of the events of February 17 inreaching my decision. In reaching this decision, I have been concernedwith the behavior of the fraternity members as a group following thestandards set by their leaders. For the purposes of this decision, thecontext of the incident is significant-a context in which excessivedrinking and hazardous social activities, tolerated by the Fraternity,created an atmosphere in which concern for the respect and dignity of

Faculty Advice on ProcedureBecause of the seriousness of the allegations

against certain individuals involved in the eventsof February 17, 1983. at the Alpha Tau Omegafraternity house, I have asked five faculty mem-bers to serve asa special committee to advise theJudicial Inquiry Officer on how best to proceedwith this matter. The following faculty haveagreed to serve in this capacity:

-Sheldon Hacknet: President

Statement from A.T.O.The University has takena serious action againsta group of its students.George Koval's explanation is

based on 'charges that members of the fraternity during and following the night ofThursday. February17. 1983, conducted themselves, and tolerated conduct in members, in ways that seriously violated theindividual rights ofa guest in the fraternity...". We feel that the facts of the case do not support thiscontention. The University investigation and procedure in making this decision has been deplorable.Their concern has been to alleviate public pressue and interpret and conclude based on a less thanobjective understanding. The University has seriously violated rights of individuals to a fair andresponsible investigation and decision. Their procedures and their abuse oftheir process merit outrage.There has been a serious breach of justice when University administrators are willing to make

conclusions about subtle questions which their investigation did notput them ina position to responsiblyjudge. They were not willing to wait for the release of the Philadelphia Police investigation whosemethods and motivation are more objective and reliable. It is our belief that our fraternity and itsmembers will be entirely vindicated. Wehope that the University administration will have thecourage toact appropriately despite popular opinion on its previous decision.

others, which wehave the righttoexpect from members ofthis commun-ity, disappeared. It is not our purpose to decide whether individualsviolated the criminal code. We focus instead on whether the housemembers conducted themselves in a mature and responsible manner,with due respect for the rights of all persons. There is no place in thiscommunity, whether in the fraternity system or anywhere else, forgroupbehavior that takes advantage ofan individual in disregard of Universityconduct standards and basic human principles. The Recognition andSelf-Governance policy makes clear that it is the responsibility of eachfraternity to governthe behavior ofits members and that such control isexercised through thefraternity leadership. When the leadership has notexercised that control, then sell-governance has not worked, and it isappropriate to begin the process of reconstruction with a clean slate.The Fraternity/ Sorority Advisory Board, consisting of University

alumni, faculty and student representatives, is a significant part of thegovernance of fraternities, and I weigh with great seriousness its recom-mendations. In this instance, the Board confirms the failure of thefraternity to appropriately govern the behavior of its members, whileallowing for somewhat lesser sanctions. The Board recommended thesuspension of the Chapter commencing immediately and lasting untilJanuary 31, 1984; placing of the fraternity in "receivorship" under thedirection of the alumni and national organizations; the cessation ofintramural sports and public social activities; the removal from office ofall undergraduate chapter officers; the immediate expulsion from thechapter rolls of any members identified as participants or spectators tothe incident of February 17 as determined by the national, the alumni, orthe University; the presentation by October 15, 1983, ofa plan ofaction

by the Alumni Corporation and the national organization to the Direc-tor of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs and the Vice Provost for Univer-sity Life detailing the development of programs, the supervision of thechapterand the conducting ofall fraternal activities; and the provison ofcounseling facilities for all members ofthe fraternity who wished to availthemselves of this resource. In reaching these recommendations, theBoard expressed serious concerns about the health ofthe Chapter and itspositive contributions to the fraternitysystem, as well as its belief that thefraternity has failed to meet the obligations articulated in the Recogni-tion Policy.

I have taken this recommendation into careful account, but believe,finally, that the fundamental reevaluation of the chapter and its objec-tives required to make it a positive contributor to the fraternity systemand the University community will only be accomplished by the with-drawal of recognition at this time and for a period longer than the sixmonths suggested.

I am disappointed that the actions of A.T.O. have precipitated thisdecision. At the same time, I wish not to diminish, but to affirm, thefraternity system of which it has been part, and to note particularly theimportance of the strength of alumni presence and impact on eachhouse. I believethat the future ofthe fraternity system depends upon ourability to hold accountable any chapters that demonstrate they areunable to govern themselves, and who by their misconduct force theentire system into disrepute. We have, in the main, a system withenormous potential for constructive activity, and its many positiveaspects should not be overlooked in the wake of this decision aboutA.T.O. -George Koval, Acting Vice Provostfor University Life

Thesis Awards for ScienceThe deadline for nominations for SigmaXi Ph.D.

Thesis Awards is April 20. 1983. Several cash prizesare awarded for theses of outstanding quality andcontribution to science. Nomination requires thesubmission of a thesis abstract, a letter of recom-mendation from the thesis advisor, and a letter ofrecommendation from either the sponsoring de-partment chairman or thegraduate group chairmantoDr. Richard Kadison, David Rittenhouse Labora-tory/El.

Grants-In-Aid of Research in amounts rangingfrom $100-$l000 are made by Sigma Xi. Applica-tions are available upon request from Dr. CarolDeutsch, Ext. 8014 and are due at National Head-quarters (New Haven, Conn.) by May I, 1983, to beacted upon by June I, 1983.

Nominations formembership in Sigma Xiare alsobeing accepted. Forms are available from Dr.Deutsch at the Department of Physiology. B-201Richards Bldg./G4.

New Library Recall PolicyEnhancements to the automated circulation sys-

tem in Van Pelt, Lippincott, and Fine Arts Librarieshave now made possible the implementation andenforcement of more effective procedures for usersrequesting the recall ofbooks currently charged out.Notices willbemailed the dayafter a call-in request ismade in these three libraries. A follow-up reminderwill be sent if the book is not returned promptly onthe specified date. If a borrower ignores recall no-tices, he orshe will notbeable to check outany othervolumes until the call-in request is satisfied.

These procedures will go into effect on April I,1983. We expect that they will improveaccess to thecollections. Nothing is more frustrating than havinga few borrowers who are inconsiderate ofthe needsof other members of the University community.Books and journals in the library collections shouldbe readily available to all members ofthecommunity.

SPEAKING OUTThefollowing was sent March/8 to the

Associate Provost. Dr. Marion Oliver, and to

Almanac forpublication.

Graduate AidAt its March meeting. GAPSA unanimously

adopted the resolution below, which was writtenand first adopted by GSAC. One minor changewas made in the document to clarify that Item 3is suggested for teachingand research fellows,not for allgraduate students receiving aid.

The Daili' Pennsylvanianerroneouslyreported that the resolution calls for thesameincrease in stipends as will be made in facultybase salaries in any given year. Item I is, instead,a request that there be some relationship, notnecessarily formulaic, between the two. In otherwords, years that the faculty base salary isincreased say 8%. teaching and research fellowsshould beable to expect more ofa raise than inyears that the faculty base salary is increasedonly4%. And, of course, consideration ofincreases for graduate fellows should be part ofthe institutional memory,just as is considerationoffaculty base salary increases.

Item 2 is, perhaps, the most crucial of thethree. Those ofus who attended the GraduateCouncil of the Faculties meeting last monthwere gratified at the depth ofconcern expressedby all ofyou about the state of graduate studentaid here at Penn. At the same time, we wentaway somewhat disappointed at the seemingreluctance toputaplanonpaperthat willcommit us as a University to correcting theproblem. It seems to usthat ifwe are reallyserious about tackling this problem, then agroup should be commissioned to research theissue, including ways in which oursister institu-tions have successfully solved the problem, and

togenerateand gather creative ideas about waystodevelop endowments for fellowships, etc.(One of the problems with getting gifts for stu-dent support is, of course, that you can't engraveyour name on a student. There must be ways ofovercoming this!) Such agroup should includepeople from the development office, perhaps adean or two, administrators, facultyand stu-dents. The plan would definitely have to belongrange, perhaps more than the 10 years we havesuggested. However. I would arguethat if wedon't make the plans, we will definitely not getthere-not in 10 years, not ever. GAPSA andGSAC hope you will give our suggestion a littlemore thought.

Graduate & Professional Student Assembly

ResolutionIn the report titled "Choosing Penn's Future." PresidentHackney noted:Wecannot afford to diminish our efforts to attract themost promising graduate students whose scholarlypursuits will, under faculty guidance, redound to theUniversity's credit. This effort must include develop-ing financial arrangements to address the increasinglyhigh costs of graduate education.

As graduate students of the University of Pennsylvania.we share the President's concern that financial supportfor graduate education be augmented to insure Penn'scompetitiveness with comparable institutions.Thereforewe offer the following three initial suggestions:

I) That the University state a definite policy ofincreasing TA/TF stipends ona regular basis, in linewith the average increase in faculty base salaries.2) That the University. through the Graduate Councilof the Faculties, develop a long range plan to bringfellowship funding to a level comparable with peerinstitutions within the coming decade.3) That the University consider including health insur-ance premiums in the total compensation package forall graduate teaching and research fellows.

From the PresidentAddressing Federal Relations

In this issue of Almanac and last, under "Opportunities," thereappears a new position, Director-Federal Relations. Advertisementshave been placed in The Chronicle of Higher Education and TheWashington Post to assure broad coverage in the search.The decision to establish this position represents the culmination ofa

process ofanalysis ofthe University's needsin relating to various levels ofgovernment, which started in theearly months ofmy administration. Anintensive study was made early last year which focused not onlyon Penn,but on a small number of peer institutions with successful governmentrelations programs, as well as external opinion in Washington andPhiladelphia. Over recent months! have become increasingly convincedthat direction of the University's communications! public relations pro-gram should remain separate from direction of government relationsactivities; toward this end, Vice President Ross Webber has been askedto assume responsibility for the Office of Communications Services.

Coordinationofthe University's relations with the Commonwealth ofPennsylvania and our immediate community in West Philadelphia hasbeen ably performed by James Shada and Decker Ulhorn, in the first

instance, and byJames Robinson in thesecond. Becauseofthe perceivedneed to relate more closely tothe City of Philadelphia as a governmentalentity,! haveasked Mr. Shadato now assume responsibility for integrat-ing and directing our collective effort at the state, city and communitylevels; he will report to me, as will the Director of Federal Relations.

It is my hope that the four persons with government relations respon-sibilites can be physically brought together in the same areato maximizethe essential interrelationships inherent in our complex dealings withgovernmental units. It will be important also, in due course, to establishanadvisorygroup to these persons, made upofthoseofficers whodeal inacontinuing way with departmentsand agencies ofthe federal, stateandcity governments. When it is realized that approximately 20 percent ofthe University's revenues come from the Commonwealth and UnitedStates government, not including federal and state student loan monies,it becomes clear that a coordinated and informed presence in the halls ofgovernment is essential to our well-being.

Progress in Administrative ComputingDuring the past 18 months, several studies have been conducted to

help us understand the current status of administrative computing sys-tems and to suggest the future direction we should be taking in thisimportant area. These studies, as well as other indicators, have con-vinced the Administrationthat we mustreinvest in thisarea and developa strategy within which the detailed planning can take place.

As a first step, we have studied in detail our options for computerhardware services. We have considered the establishment of our ownadministrative data center, continuing ourrelationship with Uni-CoIl, orestablishing one with another servicer. As a result of this analysis, wehavejust entered into a newarrangement with Uni-CoIl for the purchaseof computing services over the next three years. This unique arrange-ment not only provides us with the same opportunities that would havebeen afforded us had we developed our own in-house data center, butalso has the added advantageofallowing us to address theenhancementofour administrative system capabilities earlier than previously thoughtpossible because of not having to establish the in-house center. The costavoidance savings from this new arrangement will approximate $3.92million, and will provide significant resources which can be committedto supportingsystem development needs.

Ifwe are to realize the potential these developments offer, I believe wemust create a mechanism to provide an overall strategy for the Univer-sity's Management Information Systems, including word processing, aswell as to provide continuing appraisal of our efforts. I am thereforeestablishing an Administrative Computing Advisory Board.The membership of the Board has been selected with a view to each

individual's broad and substantial management experience, and abilityto take a broad and long-term University view to the issue that must beaddressed in the coming months. The following individuals have agreedto participate in this new and important undertaking.

Dr. William J. Hickey. Executive Director of Management Studies, ChairDr. Marion L. Oliver, Associate ProvostDr. Joseph Bordogna, Dean, School of Engineering& Applied ScienceDr. James Emery. Professor of Decision SciencesDr. James F. Galbally, Associate Dean of Resource Management, School of

lampleased that the members have enthusiastically agreedto serve, andI view this as an exciting opportunity for these talented individuals tomake a very valuable and timely contribution as the issues to beaddressed are very important to the future direction ofour administra-tive systems support. Arrangements are currently being made for a first

meeting at which the emphasis will be devoted to elaboration anddiscussion ofthe Board's mission andhow it will structure its activities to

accomplish those goals.-Paul Gazzerro, Jr., Vice Presidentfor Finance

The Hardee's QuestionThe Coordinating Committee of the A-3

Assembly urges all A-3 employees to consider

Hardee's: To Beor Notto Be(Almanac March I,

1983) and send your comments to Mrs. Beer_

mann at 3537 Locust Walk/CP as quickly as

possible. There is a survey form in Almanac

March 22.Houston Hall has for manyyears provided the

only eating facility on campus which is centrallylocated, has a pleasing atmosphere, reasonably

priced food, and open to all in the campus com-

munity. Our main concern is that the benefit of

these qualities be preserved.There are more than two thousand A-3 em-

ployees here at Penn and many of us lunch

together frequently in the present Houston Hall

facility with students, faculty members, otherstaff members and administrators. This has sig-nificant importance to us. The Student Adminis-trative Services Organization seems to be aware

ofthe importance of such a facility to the Com-

munityand has answered the need when no one

else has. There are nocomparable, easily accessi-

ble spotson campus for employees to lunch with

friends.

Eating facilties at HUP and CHOP are not

open to us. The "Potlach" is too small, and com-

mercial eating places in the area are too expen-sive. A University-oriented food service facilitywherestudents, faculty, andstaffmemberscan sit

and lunch together should be maintained in

Houston Hall.-Roosevelt Dicks, for the

Coordinating Committee A-3 Assembly

NOTE Mrs. Beermann said that although the

published deadline forthe March 22 issue's Har-dee's Questionnaire (p. 9) was March 25, heroffice will welcome additional comment fromstaff as discussions with Hardee's managementgo forward.
