Osage Avenue may seem 10 some an unlikely place to find an ambitious group of high school students perfor- ming an exercise in urban renewal and cducalional innovation.

Yet not far from the site of lhe fiery 1985 MOVL confrontation, a group of area high school sludenls is busy at work renovating an abandoned house, while acquiring practical skills and learning about their own personal potential.

The West Philadelphia Improve- ment Corps (Wi-PIC), co-directed by School of Arts and Sciences Vice Dean Ira Harkavy, is sponsoring the project.

According to Harkavy, who also heads SAS's Office of Community- Oriented Policy Studies, the group's multi-faceted approach includes col- laborating with various city orgam/a tioni and encouraging inner-agency cooperation, as well as fostering a cooperative research partnership bet- ween WliPIC and University faculty and students.

Hark;i\\ said last week that local schools should be "the center of neighborhood rcvitali/ation", since they serve the double purpose of re- juvenating neighborhoods and rebuilding students' sell-confidence.

B> BRH I'AKKKK As part of a $15.4 million budget

cut, the Hospital of the Universit) ot Pennsylvania yesterday laid off 110 employees, eliminating a total of 239 full-time positions.

The lay-offs and budget cuts, aimed at trimming the hospital's Inflated budget and averting a previously pro- jected net loss i)l $11 million, were im- plemented vesterda) bv HUP I \ ecutivc Director Edward Schwartz.

Schwartz also announced the dismissal of two employees holding "senior management" positions, and laid that even with the cuts, the hospital is still expected to finish the fiscal year with a net operating loss ,>l $7 million

"This brings us down to the ab- solute rock bottom with no flexibility left in our budget tin- year," Schwartz said.

The director added that the decision was not an easy one.

"Our objective was not to las anyone off." he added later. "While we're part of the University, the hospital does not receive any general support from the rest of the Universi ty or the stale. The hospital had to conic up with its own plan to make it fiscally reliable."

The cuts come as a result ol a sharp drop in patient admissions, the cur- tailmenl of government Medicare fun- ding and a steady decrease in hospital

With the dismissals of I io Hospital of the Universit) ol Pennsylvania workers, including live from Mil - Chell's 30-person food service depan men) alone, a large number of workers were concerned about their job security.

"Of course I'm worried," Mitchell. 26. said. "I know that there will be some cuts. Hopefully. I'm not one. I enjoy working here. It's the only thing I have."

The firings came as part of a hospital-wide effort to trim $15.4 million from the hospital's budget.

Without these cuts, HUP ad- ministrators said yesterday, the hospital would lose close to $11 million.

Several HUP workers said yester- daj thai they understood the hospital's financial situation and the reasons tot the dismissals

Prof likes to speak his mind B> PAUL HI KM w

His irony, sardonic smile and glib wit bring to mind visions of Andy Rooncy on 60 Minules. But if CBS executives called English Professor Paul Fussell, he said he would reject the offer.

"I say what I mean and that bothers people,"

Profile Fussell said last week. "I don't see a lot of perfections (in the world)."

The professor holds the Donald T. Regan Chair of English, named for the former White House chief of staff who served as chairman of the board of trustees. But the author of eight books and numerous magazine articles lashed out against the travesty of television and its stilling effect upon creativity.

"I'm opposed to television — it's the enemy ol verbal culture," fussell said. But Fussell added that he still has hope for radio and its demand for creativity.

"On TV, you have to be dignified, look pretty, dress up." he said. "It closes the imagination and hands [the ideas] to you."

A student of travel and war. Fussell has written several essays on common experiences in travel, society's classes, the Second World War, Americana, and the British. His works frequent Harper's, the New York Times Book Review, and Ihe Sew Republic.

In his book Class, Fussell differentiated between the proletariat (working), middle and upper classes by the way that they classify objects.

"Proles say 'tux.' middles say 'tuxedo,' " according to the book. "But both are considered low by uppers.

Talks go round-the-clock in Yale contract dispute By PATRICK O'DONNKLl.

Contract negotiations between 3500 Yale University employees and the university's admi- nistration continued around-the-clock yester- day, with workers threatening to strike as soon as the talks break down.

Although the contract between the New Haven university and the union representing the employees. Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees locals 34 and 35, expired at mid-

night Sunday night, both sides agreed to .in hour-by-hour extension in hopes of averting Yale's sixth strike in 19 years.

"Certainly we're hopeful," Local 34 spokes- person Lee Berman said yesterday. "But. it's going to take quite a lot of negotiation on the part of the university for a settlement to take- place here."

The two locals, which represent Yale's cleri- cal, maintenance, technical and food service

workers, have been negotiating with the univer- sity since late October.

The unions' contract with the universit) officially expired on January 17, but the two sides agreed upon a one-week extension. This extension ran out Sunday. In 1984. the two locals went on strike for ten weeks before reaching a settlement with the university, cloi ing Yale's dining halls and limiting overall services to students.

Berman said that as the deadline neared. both sides began to negotiate seriously, continuing talks from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. The negotiations resumed at 9 a.m. yesterday and continued into the night, with short breaks for meals.

"There's been some movement," she said. "We're still negotiating. There has been some give and take but it's too early to tell. It could

SAC approves all funding appeals; spends over $9500 B> BARBARA THOMPSON

The Student Activities Council ap- proved every appeal submitted for recognition and funding at its meeting last night, despite the urgings of the Steering and Finance Committees that the groups be turned down.

The council spent $9592 in general funds, leaving $ 19.904 in its budget for the rest of the academic year.

SAC also voted to ratify over 40 minor revisions in its constitution, the first time such changes have been enacted in over 10 years. Most changes consisted of rewording to eliminate passages which lacked clarity.

Finance Committee Chairman Brad Roberts said last night that through these revisions SAC will "hopefully try to eliminate four- and five-hour meetings and get more structure in terms of defining how finance runs."

In order to expediate the voting process, SAC Steering Committee

Chairman Colleen Harkness grouped all of the constitutional revisions into one proposal, which passed overwhelmingly.

SAC redefined its quorum so that 50 percent of the registered members must now attend a meeting before a vote is official. The quorum rate was formerly 25 percent, and the measure passed without debate.

The senior class board received $5000 for various activities including a spring semi-formal, despite the urg- ing of the Finance Committee. SAC members debated whether they should appropriate funds for parties like the semi-formal. While some said that SAC should not get into the routine of supporting expensive parties, others countered (hat SAC already supports one very large party, Spring Fling.

HRE living program to open in fall B> GEOFF lAI'BMAN

A new community-living program designed to provide a more social en- vironment for upperclassmen is slated to open on the fourth floor of High Rise Fast nest semester.

The Upperclass Community Pro- gram is aimed at upperclassmen will- ing to take an initiative in meeting new people. West Campus Residence Director Nancy McCue said.

Upperclassmen wishing to par- ticipate in the program will have to appl) and be interviewed, according to UA Residential I iving Committee Chairman Linda LaCiorga. The ap- plications, due February 26. and in- terviews will be used to gauge the en- thusiasm ol the applicants, LaCiorga said last week.

LaGorga said the idea for the pro- jecl came from a High Rise living survey conducted by student govern- ment last year. She explained that the survey showed that upperclassmen in the High Rises wanted a more social environment.

"High Rise floors arc noted to be unsocial," LaGorga said. "The peo- ple there don't tend to mix."

The decision on who is to be admit- ted into the experimental project will W made March 28, she said. It is dif- ficult to judge what the response will be to the community-style living pro- gram, she added.

"We don't know whether we'll get 100 applications, 200 applications, or more," she explained. "But we're ready for a large number."

LaGorga explained that advertising is set to begin with cover letters describing (he program going to Residental Advisers before tomorrow and the distribution of posters an- nouncing the program around cam- pus. The letters ask the RAs to explain the experimental project to the residents of their floors.

McCue said that the project is similar to West Campus living- learning programs such as Arts House, except the new community liv- ing program does not have a theme.

"The program is not tied to a special interest," McCue explained. "The students are interested in being in an open community."

Anthony Millin. chairman of the student advisory residence committee, said last week that one of the goals of the upperclass community-living pro-

is obsession. He dreads a stagnant mind, especially one that is not curious.

The professor characterizes himself as "moral essayist" who is trying to provoke the underlying intellect of the common people.

"It's the fear of boredom that animates me," Fussell said. "I mostly say outrageous things to get people riled up."

He uses hyperbole and one- dimensional arguments to bring out the feelings of students and readers.

English Professor Robert Lucid said last night that his colleague will go to any lengths to keep a committ- ment, lucid illustrated Fussell's re- ponsibility by pointing to a late even- ing when Fussell was trapped in Virgi- nia by bad weather. The professor took a cab from the middle of Virgi- nia to West Philadelphia in order to honor an early appointment he made to several graduate students.

"It was very striking for man of international prestige to feel a local commitment," Lucid said.

He also praised Fussell's ability to switch genres from 18th century Brit- ish to modern studies.

"It's not often someone from 18th

century British literature 'hits one over the cenlerficld fence' in modern studies."

Fussell believes in writing as an extension of self. He said to be informative, provocative, and inquisi- tive when writing. He noted that Americans are caught up in tech- nique, rather than thinking. Admit- ting the difficulty in trying to formu- late opinions, Fussell emphasized that you must read, analyze, and scrutin- ize before responding to an issue.

"It's manner, not technique." he said. "It's having something to say — being educated, thoughtful, skeptical, asking questions of yourself."

English Chairman and Professor David Del.aura finds the self- proclaimed "moral essayist" a "com- plicated man."

"Somehow the complex charac- ter. . . seems to be summed up in this unexpected juxtaposition," he said.

Del aura said he tries to "chide him for his cynicism," but ususally finds him to be "kindly, courtly, and wise."

"[Fussell] adds whole new dimen- sioni to collectivity that we might otherwise not know existed," De Laura said.

Yale contract talks linger YAl.K, from page I change at any moment."

According to Yale University Sec- retary Sheila Wellington, the admi- nistration remains "hopeful."

"Negotiations are still going on," Wellington said. "We're still in ses- sion getting the economic proposals down. There has been a fair amount of movement on both sides and we're closing the gap."

"If it works it will be the second time that a contract has expired in the last 20 years without a strike," Wel- lington added.

Union representatives said last night, however, that the workers ire fully prepared to strike.

"We're calm and we're hopeful that there will be a settlement but we're ready to go out," union spokes- person Nancy Ryan explained. "[The workers] do know that if we have to go out that it's the right thing to do

and they're prepared to do it." Although the workers' salary is a

major issue, with the university offer- ing a 24 percent increase over four years and the union looking for a 35 to 40 percent over the same period, the chief difficulty at this point cen- ters around what the workers call "economic discrimination."

According to Berman, women and minorities employed by Yale are paid far less than white or male workers. Berman said that women earn an average of $1280 per year less than males and minorities earn $700 less than whites.

The unions' latest proposal calls for a "job reclassification" which would eliminate this discrimination.

"It's important to get [the issue of economic discrimination! settled now to establish a base for future negotia- tions," Ryan said.

The university administration has continually refuted these charges.

Equal standing for women at the U. saw much opposition from males B> LISA SPIV ACK

It is even stranger that the University was at the forefront of the move towards equality for women when one considers the opposition

like Bryn Mawr College. At a lime when equality for women was an issue around the country, there was great demand for a school in Center City which would allow women to attend classes.

Sensing this need, and wishing to promote higher education for women. Joseph Bennett donated $500,000 to the University to establish a college for women in connection with its male

counterpart, according to articles in the Alumni Register of I9I9.

Josiah Penniman, the University's vice provost at the time, also supported the establishment of a college for women.

"(The Universityl is confronted by

a plain duty, which may be stated as that of offering its educational advantages to all persons who may be qualified to profit by them," Penniman stated in a 1919 issue of the Alumni Register.

But the college for women was delayed due to opposition from male undergraduates and alumni.

"The essential thing is to keep the life of our male undergraduates a boy's or a man's life, pure of the tone, free of the influences and opinions of a girl's community life," stated an editorial in the 1917 Alumni Register. "It is not possible to reconcile and harmonize (he two elements. The result is lacking both in manliness and womanliness."

Jean Brownlee, former Dean of the College of Liberal Arts for Women, last night cited the male ego as a reason for the differing viewpoints.

"I think it was a matter of attitude." Brownlee said. "We in the College of Women felt that women could handle their lives quite well, but needed support at times. The attitude in the men's college was that if you're old enough to go lo college, you can meet all the troubles of life."

With all of the opposition, it wasn't until 1933 that Bennett Hall was built as the first home of the College of Liberal Arts for Women, allowing women the benefits of instruction from distinguished professors without the hassles of traveling long distances.

And even after the new school was

finally established, there was still great controversy between the male and female sectors of the University. Articles from back issues of the Alumni Register indicate that women perceived the College's development as a generous response to their needs.

Men took a different viewpoint, however.

There was a passionate stir of protest against feminizing University life immediately after the opening of the College for women. But the protests did not matter anymore.

Beginning with a maximum enrollment of 500 at the time of its formation, the size of the College grew to more than 2000 undergraduates in 1974, the year that it merged with the rest of the University lo form the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.

Women's athletics also grew to the point that when The Daily Pennsylvanian said that a specific sport had a successful year at the University, it was referring to womens' team in that sport as well as mens'.

According to the Undergraduate Course Bulletins for 1975 and 1976 the merger between (he University and the College of Liberal Arts for Women made courses that were previously only open to women available lo men.

Students should look past the label when shopping for guts

Last semester I took a class in grammar that forced me to spend three long hours a week pondering questions like "What is a noun?"

No, really. I'm serious. It was, in other words, a gut. A gut can be many different

things to many different people.

To educators a gut is an embarass- ment, to students it is padding for the ol' grade point average and lo parents it is a waste of money.

I saw my gut as a gift from Ood. A sign if you will, and one more practical than a burning bush.

Now don't get me wrong, I am not total academic slime. This was a fifth course.

I realize that in addition to the fun I had with this course there art- serious negative consequnces thai go with taking gut courses. Let's look at (hem: • They are frequently taught at night. • They might gel hard. It's a cut- throat move to take a class only for a good grade.

Every course that you waste is also a waste of about $1500. • THIS IS YOUR EDUCATION.

On the other hand guts also have some advantages: • Cirades, grades, grades. • Rebuilds confidence — if the world is (his easy, I can make it big. • Brings back memories of old high school days. • Raises tolerance lor boredom and restlessness.

At the same lime, "we're com- peting with many other depart- ments for students" said a teacher of one of the University's less draining courses.

Some educators explained their motives for keeping the guts around from semester to semester: • "Just because you're not spen- ding a lot of hours doesn't mean you're not learning anything." • "With 50 students, I'm happy if I get my message across lo five." • "These are mainly elective courses, the ones in the major are crucial classes." • "ll may be the worst possible thing for a student lo do. it may be the best possible thing to do," Wales said. "They may want lo spend their time on other activities here. That may be the most impor- tant part of their education."

Yet, no matter what the advan- tages are, one has to be wary of classes bearing the gut label.

The professor may not respect this constraint. He or she may not have a laid-back "A's for all" al- titude. The professor may even be a little sensitive to the label.

According to an alum who has close ties to the University, "Sociology 4: The Family" is a class whose well of gutlincss has apparently run dry. Its heyday was about 10 years ago. she said. Since

that time its leading professor retired, and other, more grade- stingy professors have taken up its banner. But, its reputation lives on.

The unknown amount of courses that are not li.ted. ihe nebulous figure of listed courses no longer laught and the enigma of classes listed without a difficul- ty rating makes the Course Guide's accuracy on the sum total of gut courses a mystery, similar in complexity to the mystery of Stonehenge.

But, clearly 96 options lets students not only stick with their gut courses, but comparison shop among them.

Academic probation a fact of life for many U. students By CHRISTOPHKR YOO

About three years ago, following the second semester of his freshman year, College senior Bill Middleton, a psychology major who has submatriculated into graduate school, received a letter from the Committee on Undergraduate Academic Standing. It was not a particularly pleasant note.

Middleton, like several hundred students each semester, had been placed on academic- probation.

School of Arts and Sciences Assistant Dean Eric Schneider said this week thai academic pro- bation is designed to Hag students floundering academically.

"The purpose of probation is not to punish people." Schneider said. "It's to flag them and make sure that they are aware of the programs available to them. We encourage those students to take advantage of the University's support

centers." Middleton, who has averaged 3.56 since his

flirtation with probation, said last week that he found himself in academic trouble because of preconceptions about his fu(ure.

"1 started off from the age of five thinking I was going to be a doctor," Middleton explain- ed. But when he found out that he was not cut- out for the medical profession he "became very

distressed," and quickly reevaluated his situation.

"My transcript reads like the book of my life," he said.

Dean Schneider said lhal Middleton's case is fairly common.

"One of the more painful parts of probation is that students do reality testing," Schneider said. "For those students, it is a much more dif- ficult situation because they have to reconstruct a future."

The aim of probation is to encourage the stu- dent to seek help at academic support centers, which include the Tutoring Center, the University Reading/Study Improvement Ser- vice, the University Counseling Sen ice, and Writing Across the University (WATU).

But Middleton said that the University's ad- vising program is much better now than it was a few years ago.

"The quality of the academic advising office has improved greatly from what I've seen," he said. "My academic advisor and I talked for about 30 seconds. He said, 'good luck' and that was it. I never went back and 1 was not con- tacted again."

"People used to complain continuously about

the quality of the advising," he said. "That has pretty much stopped."

Assistant Dean Schneider said lhal although the primary purpose of meeting with an assis- tant dean is directing students to University sup- port services, the meetings are also used lo pin- point any "underlying non-academic reasons" for the poor record.

The various support centers have been effec- tive in helping those students on academic pro- bation, Schneider said.

Of the approximately 200 students who find themselves on probation each semester, "(he vast majority" bounce back, he stated. Only 70 to 80 fail in this regard and find themselves dropped from the University.

He added that self-discipline and inexperience in a college atmosphere have been major causes of academic problems in the past.

The 1985-87 Undergraduate Bulletin stales that students are placed on academic probation if they receive less than a 2.0 grade point average, receive two or more Fs in a semester, have not completed at least six course units over two semesters, or have received two or more in- completes or NR's (no report) in one semester.

Most students are not caught off guard by the probation notice, Schneider said.

i The purpose of probation is not to punish people. It's to flag them and make sure that they are aware of the programs available to them.y

Eric Schneider SAS assistant dean

"Ninety-eight percent ol the time, the letters do not come as a surprise to the student," Schneider estimated.

The letter slates that once the student is plac- ed on academic probation, he must meet certain conditions in order to return to "good academic standards." These conditions include not falling below the levels set by the standards for Academic Probation and showing "marked progress" in the cumulative grade point average.

In addition, the student is not allowed to take more than four courses while he is on probation and is expected to keep monthly appointments with an assistant dean.

"I don't personally remember any great sense of change," Nicholls said. "Everything was pretty much the same educationally. There was some sense of nostalgia about the College of Women." Carol linzanl contributed lo this story.

GSE tries to ready students for jobs By BECKY W Al.DMAN

The Graduate School of Education is attempting lo meet the challenge of a growing need for teachers by recruiting undergraduates as potential submatriculants and training its masters students for as many different positions as possible.

Offering several masters and doc- (oral programs in language, psychology, and leadership, (he Education School (rains the sub- matriculants in teaching and counsel- ing for elementary and secondary schools.

Recruitment Director Margaret Harkins described ihe submatricula- tion process as a "great opportunity for undergraduates" last week.

Harkins explained that a sub- matriculant takes two approved graduate-level courses which couni simultaneously toward bachelors and future masters degrees.

She called the program an "ace-in- thc-liole" for undergraduates who arc fairly sure that they want to pursue graduate work in education.

The student would still have to app- ly to the masters program in order to submalriculate, Harkins said, but after (he courses are approved by an SAS advisor there should be few pro- blems getting acceptance.

Finding a job after completing the masters is not difficult cither, Harkins explained.

Although Harkins said that the University's program is popular, she predicted lhat there will be an estimated one million teaching posi- tions open within a few years and there will be a "national teachers shortage in math and education."

Language and Education Graduate Student Nora Lewis explained last week that depending on the specific division generally 10 to 12 courses are required for a masters.

In addition, students must take a comprehensive exam and complete an internship before receiving their degrees.

Two of the increasingly popular divisions in ihe Education School are Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) and Inter- cultural Communication (ICC).

And Lewis said that the masters programs are very versatile in terms of the job opportunities they provide for graduates.

With a masters in TESOL for ex- ample, a student could teach English cither in the United States or abroad, help design computer programs to teach English, organize international visitors' programs, or teach in universities.

Lewis said that the University "has excellent connections" in China, Japan, and South Korea.

"The more industrialized a country is, the more you need a degree," she added.

Lewis said, however, that some countries do not require teachers to have prior experience.

FRIE - SAC funded

HOUSE, from page l -million that can involve the whole community." he said.

Involved in the renovation arc 12 students from West Philadelphia High School, who, for minimum wage, spend close to 14 hours each week working on the house.

Although the project is open to all interested students, most participants are those who are considered to be academically "at-risk." A few profes- sionals arc hired for roofing, masonry and electrical work, but most of the other construction work is completed by the students.

"The house project is the epitome of a self-learning project,"' WEPIC Coordinator Donna Walker, a I986 College alumnus who now works full- time with the group, said last week.

Walker, currently working on her masters degree in education at the University, explained that the com- pleted house will be sold to a needy family which has a source ol steady income.

She said that often the traditional classroom experience fails to suc- cessfully educate struggling students who seem to pride themselves on do- ing poorly.

"There's a success in failure," she said.

In at least one case, the project has helped dismantle the walls of racial prejudice, demonstrating that understanding can develop when dif- ferent people cooperate.

Walt McAuley. a retired carpenter working on the house with the students, said he had harbored racial prejudices in the past. But he noted

that working with students from a predominantly black school has changed his "outlook on the color factor."

"They've accepted me as though I'm one of them and I've accepted them," he said. "I guess we're all the same."

According to coordinator Walker, WEPIC hopes that the house project will help students "to believe in themselves, allow their self-esteem to take root, and increase their educa- tion by motivating them."

She said that WEPIC will open a training school at West Philadelphia High School this week, which will of- fer courses "in the three R's," coupl- ed with hands-on experience at the house — for which students will earn academic credit.

Walker stressed that the training school will be distinctly different from vocational training.

College senior Allen Weinberg. now in his third year of involvement with WEPIC, said he believes there is more to the project than the reconstuction of a home.

"It's bringing a lot of groups together," he also said, adding that the University, high school, and various city organizations have cooperated in the effort.

The house renovation project was conceived in I985 by a group of Harkavy's students in an inter- disciplinary history seminar on urban university-community relationships.

Harkavy and his students submitted a copy of their plan and a request for support to the U.S. Department of Labor. They received a federal grant

later that year for about $70,000. The project gained momentum

when, approximately one year ago. the Philadelphia Housing Develop- ment Corporation donated an aban- doned house on the 6000 block of Osage Avenue. After receiving addi tional financial backing from the Private Industry Council, work began on the house in June.

Warren McMichael. head of the in- dustrial arts department at the high school, has supervised the housing work from the beginning and sup- ported the project as beneficial to the community.

"This is one step to stem the tide of abandonment and to reinvest in the community." he said last week.

McMichael also said that the reconstruction builds the students' self-esteem.

"It's given them the opportunity to sec they can make a difference," he added. "It gives them a sense of accomplishment."

"I just feel good because I'm doing it for the community." Andre Tate, a high school senior involved in the pro- ject, said last week. "I like the way everybody works together."

High school junior Chris Shinholstcr agreed that working on the project has been an exciting experience.

"As you come here everyday, the house gets better and better," he said. "It makes me feel good because I worked on it."

Shinholstcr said that he hopes that the group's work might incite others to join in upcoming projects.

SAC approves groups' funding requests SAC. from page I Auditorium. The proposal barely passed with a 61-57 vote.

Both Kite and Key and the singing group Penny Loafers were given loans appeals. The former received $430. along with an additional $255 grant for Kile and Key. Penny Loafers was loaned $533.

Although the Finance Committee recommended that the Gospel Choir receive only $700 of a requested $1337 and that Pennsylvania 6-5000 be

granted none of the requested $6(K). both of the appeals were passed by the Council.

Groups which received recognition at last night's meeting included:

• The Communications Club, which was chartered last semester. • The Black Student League, who was granted re-recognition after missing two consecutive meetings. • ADEPEP, an organization for Puerto Rican students.

• The Wharton Management Club, which was recognized without debate. • The Biological Basis of Behavior Society, in their third attempt at recognition since last November.

After much debate about the legali- ty of its name, the Council voted to recognize the Zelosophic Society, dedicated to studying the classics. The Philomathean Society, who claimed to have had legal rights to the name earlier in the century, moved to have the Zelosophics change their name.

Student Health board approves move By HKI I PAKKKK

The proposed move of the Sludcni Health Service lo ihe Penn Tower Hotel is proceeding on schedule and should be completed this summer — due in large measure to the work of a group of students known as the Student Health Advisory Board.

When the University announced in September that Stu- dent Health Service would move to the Penn Tower Hotel, the Undergraduate Assembly voiced concerns about the proposal.

The group adopted a resolution recommending that Tour conditions be met prior to the move.

The UA's request, published in Ihe Daily I'enmylva nian in October, asked for the compilation of a Student Health Survey, a report detailing the reasons for the move, a list of possible alternative locations along with reasons for the rejection of locations already considered and a commitment to provide adequate transportation if the location is farther away than the current Student Health location.

Since the adoption of the UA's resolution, all of the proposed conditions have been met, due largely lo the work of the SHAB.

The board, consisting of eight to 10 students and super- vised by Health Educator Susan Villari. acts as the official liason between Student Health and students. Ihe board

meets on a regular basis with Student Health Director Marjeanne Collins.

Even before the UA passed its resolution, the SHAB had plans to investigate the move to Penn Tower. Accor- ding to member Neil Tuch, a College senior, the board wanted to look into alternatives before accepting or objec- ting lo the proposed move.

"We didn't know enough about it." he said yesterday. Tuch said that Collins presented the board with all the

information necessary lo make a decision on the matter. The SHAB responded with a letter to the UA and The

Daily Pennsylvania!! at the end of October supporting Ihe move and responding to the UA's four requests.

College junior Meredith Kwartin is the UA's represen- tative on the Student Health Advisory board. While the UA has not officially accepted the move to the Penn Tower, Kwartin says that she has no objections to the move after reviewing all the information.

"Even though the UA hasn't passed a resolution, I, as a member of the UA, fully support the move," she said last week. Kwartin also added that the UA should support the move because all aspects of the UA resolution have been met.

Tuch added that kwartin's acceptance of the move in- dicates an "informal" approval on the part of the UA.

HUP lays off 110 workers, slashes budget HUP, from page I

workshops in resume writing, inter- viewing, marketing and networking.

The hospital will loot the bill, but Molly Shcpard, the Cicneral Manager of the Manchester Inc. Philadelphia office, said yesterday that she would not comment on Ihe cost. Shcpard ad- ded that the workshops are beneficial to the employees.

"The workshops provide everything a job-seeker will need in terms of tools and preparation for job-searching," Shepard said yester- day, "Hill* is being a very responsible employer in providing the service."

Nearly half of the dismissed employees worked in Ihe service and support departments of the hospital, including workers from housekeep- ing, food service and maintenance. Another 42 percent of the dismissed

employees worked in the ad- ministrative and clerical areas while only 9 percent were in the professional and technical departments.

In addition to the layoffs, the hospital consolidated and streamlined us staff by eliminating 129 other posi- tions which did not result in the ter- mination of employees.

"What we do is go into a position someone has been working in," Schwartz said. "Someone left, they retire and we just freeze that vacant position."

The combination of the layoffs and elimination of extraneous positions resulted in a budget cut of $7.4 million. The hospital also slashed $2.2 million by implementing an in-house computer system and another $2.4 million by altering the bonus system.

The final $3.3 million came from non-payroll areas, hiring employees

and nurses instead of contracting them from an outside firm, a half- million dollar contingency fund and other areas of the budget. In addition, Schwartz said that the hospital will try to keep only one brand of each pro- duct used in the hospital.

Those employees involved win icceive two weeks of severence pay plus an additional week of pay for every year they have been employed at the hospital. HUP has also organized a job fair, involving about 22 institu- tions, to take place at Houston Hall next week.

Schwartz said that one reason for HUP's losing year is related to its af- filiation with the University.

"While we're a part of the Univer- sity, the hospital doesn't receive any general support from the rest of the University or the stale," Schwartz said.

Hospital employees fear loss of jobs WORKERS, from page I

"I feel bad for these people," operating room worker Sandy •Pcllegrino said. "I know how I would feel if I were laid off, having a family of my own. but something's got lo be done. It's too bad they can't do something else rather than laying off ;— cutting back on supplies or something, rather than people."

This plan includes the continuation of benefits for two months along with two weeks of severance pay. in place •of notice, plus an extra week's pay for ■each year of employment at the hospital.

According to Human Resources

Associate Administrator Carl Rob- bins, by awarding severance pay in- stead of giving prior notice, workers should be able to find new jobs more easily. In addition, Robbins explain- ed, many workers may be able to find positions within the University.

The hospital is also sponsoring workshops to help workers with resumes, job interviews and basic marketing, networking and letter- writing skills.

But these measures do not seem to ease the anxiety many workers fell yesterday as 110 employees, both full- and part-time, were dismissed one by one.

"I'm pretty concerned,'' maintenance worker Moses Fields said. "I've got a family to take care of."

"I have to be worried," explained 53-year-old dining service worker Josephine Davis. "You never know what's going to happen. It might be pretty hard |to find another job) at my age. Everyone's looking for young people these days."

One employee who asked not to be identified said that he preferred not to concern himself with the layoffs.

"I don't even want to think about it." he said. "1 haven't the slightest idea what I might do. Besides panick- ing, I don't know."

The Privilege of Speech

Letters to the Editor

A Problem of Image To the Editor:

We are concerned with the article entitled, "Nursing School often forgotten, neglected" {DP. I 20 88). Wi- led lhai sonic of the attitudes and opinions expressed in this article stem from misconceptions of the nursing field and arc disrespectful toward the School of Nursing.

We would like to share with the Utliversit) tome facts about oui school Foi instance, ■ typical junior's week is comprised ol approximate!) 25 hours preparing tor and attending Clinicals. In addition. Ihcie IK several other elective requirements outside the nursing major each student, whether they be freshman, sophomore, junior, oi senior, must fulfill.

The Nursing School Joes accept a high number of applicants per year, and this may be attributed to dif- ferent recruiting techniques used by the School of Nur- sing. Students specifically interested in the nursing field are personally selected and sought alter by the school's admissions director. ITierefore, moil of those students that apply .lie extraordinarily well qualified. This helps to contribute to the high overall acceptance rale.

\s the article points out. there is a problem with nur- sing's image on campus. This image will not improve with comments such as the College sophomore's. "When I find out that a girl is a nursing student. I think less ol her." I he perception ol nursing is chang- ing, but the attitudes and opinions of people on this campus need to change also ihe negative views ex- pressed the article are unfounded, uncalled for, and mil.in'

Status Quo in the Council To the Editor:

The City I units column. "Goode promises — but can he deliver?" {DP. 1/20/88) seems to place the blame for poor relations between the mayor and the Ci- ty Council solely on Coode's inflexibility and his "reaction to everything he reads in the press." A more realistic and comprehensive view would include an analysis of the power structure of City Council. Black well, Coleman, Cohen and Street have controlled City Council for several years and their "agressfveness" has often been channeled into preven- ting needed legislation from being resolved. Trash-to- sicam. for instance, I key ingredient in Cioode's pro- gram, was prevented from being discussed by the Council last year. Were it not for recent challenges to ihis old guard leadership it seems clear that vital issues such as trash-tO-Steam would not be dealt with properly by city < ouncil.

Ihe article becomes most unfair when it labels Marion I aSCO .is a less aggressive "backseat" Council member. Surely two or three weeks in office is too shon a time 10 have earned this dismissal of her effec- tiveness, especially in light of her participation in the remarkable action to unseat James Tayoun from his I icenses and Inspections Committee chairmanship. I.noun, who had obvious conflicts of interest which were noted in the aiticle. was forced to resign his chairmanship.

The absence o\ any mention of the newly elected City Couhcilman-at-Large Oeorgc Burrell is also con- spicuous here. Burrell. who has strong ties to I'enn as a graduate (Wliarion and I aw School) and a former trustee, lias been on campus several times in the past

tew months both because cl his interest in l irsi Step and for his campaign. BurreH's campaign theme ol forging I coalition to provide a more constructive icl.i lionship between the Council and the niavoi is certainly relevant, it not crucial, to the focus ol the article 1*0 suggest that a challenge to the Council leadership would hinder the council's effectiveness 111 dealing wiih cioode's program is clearly off the mark, especial- ly since it is the challengers. Burrell and fatCO, who have shown the most interest in changing the powei structure of the Council in order 10 improve Us icl.i tionshlp with Goode I hey are most concerned with forcing issues that haven't been dealt with constructive ly by Blackvsell. Coleman, Cohen and Street to come to a vote.

Furthermore, it would seem thai rasco'i and Bur- rell's involvement in rectifying the fayotlfl conflict of interest is more than merely "playing chess." If the power of the present City Council leadership is more important than honest government in Philadelphia, as Ward Leader Dunn and the article implies, then perhaps the Council's traditional leadership should not be challenged However, those of us who naively believe that honesty in government is of paramount im- portance and thai City Council should behave almost like a democratic institution will support effort to buck the old status quo. Perhaps then Cioode's programs will have a fighting chance

Lack of Concern To the Lditor:

It's laughable. It's sad. The wav things are done here at the University of Pennsylvania, that is. Business ex- ecutives at the spanking new and highly visible W'har- ton Executive Education Center have Nautilus facilities. Penn students don't. I guess we know where the buck slops at Penn. Can we pop in sometime? That may well be our only recourse if the University con- tinues to ignore the Undergraduate Assembly's Nautilus Fitness Center pioposal and again lets another student request dissolve in frustration.

While the UA suggested a nominal fee of $70 per academic year, the Executive Office of Rcsoursc Plann- ing and Budget requests one of $150. And while the UA has urged that Ihe rathskeller at High Rise North be us- ed, the University says Hutchinson Gym. It doesn't mallet that a central and very feasible location is avoid- ed \nd while siudents showed overwhelming interest in Nautilus in a survey conducted last year and the UA lias provided structural and financial information, the University has continued to stonewall the proposal.

Don't get me wrong. I'm taking very worthwhile courses, building relationships with some very dynamic professors, and grabbing the best education I can. I just want to sec the University do something besides putting up nice new shoppes and fixing the Milestone slates on I ocusl Walk. No one seems to know whai goes on with all the money, and why it doesn'i go to the places seemingly relevant for a university. Ask the peo- ple in Bennett Hall, they sure don't know. If anyone else is wondering, say something, write, call President Hackney, speak to a dean, because al Penn. education is business, and business is, well, business. And this customer called a student wants to see the complaint department.

wav to think. Happy. A speaket has I lie right to express a certain view- point whether or not they meet some subjective standard. Who will decide whether a speaker is 'cogent.' Mc, you, the administration?

Happy: So anyone can speak at the University if they feel like it, no mat- ter what they have to say? Someone with the intelligence of, say, Ronald Reagan, but without Ronald Reagan's importance can speak at Irvine Auditorium?

Artie: Absolutely. In that case it's unlikely that anyone would go hear a speech by someone like a Reagan- minus-presidential-status, but if the community wants to hear a speaker, they have that right.

Happy: So free speech depends upon whether people want to hear a person's message?

Artie: Of course not. Someone can speak on a street corner even if no one is listening. But since someone at the University must sponsor and/or fund a speech on campus, there must ob- viously be an interested audience.

Happy: How big does that audience "have to be? If it only takes one in- terested person to bring a speaker to campus, might that be awfully embar- rassing to the school?

Artie: How so? Happy: Well, if one student sup-

ports the Hare Krishna group that claims to fund the non-existent Ap- palachian Project, could a member of that group come to Irvine Auditorium and solicit money? If nothing else, wouldn't that be awfully embarrass- ing for Penn?

Artie: It's not important if the speaker will embarrass the University. The school isn't saying it supports this person. And other students don't have to come to the event.

Happy: How about a more serious situation? Doesn't a speaking engage- ment at a prestigious school give Ihe speaker a certain amount of legitimacy? Shouldn't we be careful about who we give credibility to?

Artie: That's a moot point. Ob- viously, only people who are already 'legitimate' to some extent will be in- vited to speak.

Happy: Why is that? I thought that anyone could invite anyone they choose?

Artie: Sure, Student! can invite anyone. But for all practical purposes they should only invite people who will stimulate thought and discussion; that is what free speech is all about.

Happy: It took us this long to get to the purpose of free speech! But what if students make a mistake? What if they invite someone whose views have no validity, are completely offensive or would only create hostility instead of engendering thought?

Artie: In that case they arc still making people think. Learning to criticize is a valuable skill.

Happy: But b\ that standard anyone can make people think! It sounds like when you say "stimulate discussion," you really mean anyone who will generate headlines. Or perhaps you want to change your mind and concede lhat th value of a speaker's views must be considered?

Artie: I don't know about what you said about headlines, but I definitely know that the very essence of free speech is not judging the content ol what is said. If people feel they can learn from a speaker they have the right to hear that person. All other

Happy: First of all, there is an ob- vious difference between a majority ol students acting to prevent a speech and the government or administration doing the same thing. Tyranny by the majority is another way of talking about democracy. Second, there is no wav a small group of students can stop a speech short of violence. If a couple of students or professors physically try to prevent a speech, they will just get taken away by the police without the support of the au- dience. Finally, there is a world of dif- ference between Adolfo Calero and

4 There is an obvious difference between a majority of students acting to prevent a speech and the government or administration doing the same thing. Tyranny by the majority is another way of talking about democracy.'

considerations are irrelevant. Happy: But what about if just a few

people want to hear a famous man who will attract a large audience on the basis of his reputation. If the ma- jority of that audience disagrees with this man and feels lhat he does not even deserve the chance to speak because of his repugnant views. doesn't that majority have the right to stop the speech?

Artie: That would violate his right to free speech! If people don't want to hear a speech they can leave. They shouldn't disrupt it.

Happy: Let's take the case of Adolfo Calero, leader of the contra opposition in Nicaragua. At a number of colleges last year the audience disrupted or prevented Calero's speech. Didn't people have the right to do that just as Calero has the right to speak?

Artie: But you can't exercise your rights at the expense of someone else's!

Happy: Didn't you say before that a speech in an auditorium is different from one on a street corner. We already agreed lhat someone must support a speech in school facilities.

Artie: But think of the abuse that that would lead to. A small group of students could prevent George Hush or Gary Hart from speaking. What if the government or administration played by these rules?

Cieorge Bush. The former is a murderer who is tearing apart his own country. Bush may be paying Calero's bills, but he is not primarily an evil man dedicated to a destructive pur- pose. There is also a difference bet- ween Calero and someone like Louis I arrakhan. whose objective is not to destroy but to improve the life of black people.

Artie: But how do you draw the line?

Happy: The Supreme Court has a standard for free speech called "clear and present danger." If there is a clear and present danger to the public, free speech can be abridged. It seems obvious that some speakers do pose a clear and present danger, not in the sense the court means, but because their opinions are clearly dangerous.

Artie: But how do you decide that? Happy: Looking back in history, I

would hope you agree with me that some of the world's better known mass murderers did not deserve the right to speak to anyone. Those kind of judgments are easy to make in hindsight; it takes courage and wisdom to make decisions like that to- day. But our world needs more of that kind of wisdom.

Off the Wire Compiled from Associated Press Dispatches

Reagan makes final State of the Union address WASHINGTON Praideni Reagan,

declaring America it "strong, prosperous, at I peace." asked Congress in his final Stale of

ihe Union address last night 10 keep money ! flowing to Nicaragua rebels and lo ratify ihe | newly signed arms treaty with the Soviet i Union.

Reagan, in remarks prepared for delivery before a joint session of the House and Sen.ne. emphasized lie lias a full agenda for

; ihe next 12 months. "Mj thinking on the ncxtsycar is quite sim-

; pie: lei's make this ihe best of eight. And lhal . means: it's all out, right to the finish line. I

don'l bus ihe idea thai ibis is the last year of anything." said Reagan, who lurns the While House ovei 10 .1 successoi nexi January

Without specifying a figure. Reagan urged Congress, in a vote nexi month, lo renew aid to the Contra rebels in Nicaragua. "Let us be for ihe people of Nicaragua whal Lafayette, Pulaski and Von Stcuben were for our Iorel.nhers and the cause of American in- dependence." the president said.

\ senior administration official, briefing reporters at ihe White House on condition ol anonymity, said ihe aid request would be "under $50 million." with about 10 percent of the figure earmarked for "lethal" military aid and the rest lor non-lethal aid.

Reversing course from lasl vcar. Reagan called for increased spending for education and the war against drugs,

He claimed for his administration "an un-

told success story" — an increase in the number of young people who are willing lo turn away from drugs. He praised his wile. Nancy, for that development: "She has helped so many of our young people lo sv 'no' to drugs. Nancy, much credit belongs lo you, and I want to express lo you your husband's pride and your country's thanks."

In a separate legislative message transmitted to Congress, he requested SI.5 billion — roughly a 50 percent increase — lo light ihe dcadlv AIDS virus.

The legislative message also called for a reduction of capital gains taxes, but did not cite any figures or specify any details.

Striking a bipartisan theme. Reagan told the lawmakers. "Yes, wc will have our dif-

ferences. But let us always remember: whal unites us tar outweighs whatever divides us."

I eiders of the Democratic-run Congress served notice lhal Ihe legislative branch, not Reagan, would control the national agenda this -.ear.

Ihe president's "technicolor view ol \inei ica and our people sought to make us

feel good with images ol 'morning in America,1 " said Senate Majority leader Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.) in the official Democratic response,

Bui. he said, "the "leel-good' slogans have gone flat with time We've teamed thai bravado is no) leadership — that ideology is no substitute for common sense "

Pressure to resign builds for Mecham

PHOENIX. Ariz. - Gov. Evan Mecham will have to lace a recall elec- tion or resign after ihe secretary of slate announced yesterday that his op- ponents had collected more than enough signatures to force such ,i vole.

Mecham. who also laces legislative ' Impeachment hearings and criminal

charges in connection with a cam- paign loan, repeated Ins assertion that he will not resign, a spokesman said.

Rose Mofford. the Democratic secretary of state who would replace the Republican governor if he resigns oi is removed from office, said 301.032 signatures were verified. The Mecham Recall Committee needed 2l6,7J(i valid signatures to force a vote.

Meanwhile, an Arizona House selecl committee resumed hearings yesterday on whether Mecham should be impeached. Mecham is expected to be the last witness before ihe panel, either late this week or early next week.

• The governor also laces a March 9 criminal trial on six felony counts

.connected with his alleged conceal- ment of the $350.1X10 campaign loan he received from a developer.

Mofford said through a spokesman thai she plans to notify Mecham to- day that he has five days to resign, ac- cording to slate law. If he does not, she is expected to schedule a recall vote by next Monday, probably for May 17, when a number of local elec- tions are planned.

Schultz says U.S. will act if Soviets violate arms pact

WASHINGTON — Sccretarv ol Slate George Shull/ assured conser- vative critics yesterday the United States will respond vigorously if the Soviet Union violates the new arms reduction treaty in Europe, but Sen. lesse Helms declared the Soviet Union already is exploiting an "engraved invitation to cheat."

As Shult/ led off the adminiitra lion's campaign for Senate ratifica- tion of the treaty, Helms (R-N.C.) waving a document marked "TOP SECRET" in bright red, contended he had obtained classified informa- tion proving the Soviets already have violated the pad which calls for the elimination of medium and shorter- range nuclear missiles.

Helms, an outspoken conservative, told the Senate foreign Relations Committee he had received confirma- tion of the document's authenticity — its contents still undisclosed — from CIA Director William Webster.

Shult/ declined to discuss or even look at ihe document on grounds he

was surrounded by photographers and television cameramen,

Bui Sen. Paul Sarbancs ii> Md.t. complaining that Helms had nol read aloud from a key section of a letter from Webster, quoted the CIA chief as saying that while the document represented cxcrpls from a draft of a CIA national intelligence estimate, it did nol loll the whole story.

Reading ihe full Webster letter, Sarbancs noted the ( IA director had said the judgments reached in the document "In themselves do not con slitute a sufficient basis on which lo draw conclusions" as to whether Soilet compliance with the treats can be adequately and effectively verified.

The I Oreign Relations panel will ex- amine the matter further during a closed session on Friday.

Helms is leading a band of Senate conservatives expected to oppose the pact. Ratification requires a two- thirds Senate vote. 67 voles if all 100 senators are present and voting.

Dukakis upset about training of troops in Central America WASHINGTON — The Pentagon has refus-

ed to cancel the scheduled training deployment of a Massachusetts Army National Guard unit lo Central America — a decision that was decried yesterday by the stale's governor. Democratic presidential contender Michael Dukakis.

Bui Dukakis said he would go along with Ihe Defense Department decision.

Dukakis, a strong critic of Reagan ad-

ministration Central America policies, had vow- ed in June 1986 thai he would never allow a Massachusetts National Guard unit to deploy lo the region.

Since then. Massachusetts and 10 olher slates have lost a federal lawsuit challenging ihe Pen- tagon's authority lo order such foreign training deployments. The case is now on appeal.

James Dorsey, a spokesman for the governor, said Dukakis would bow to the Pentagon's

wishes — under protest. "If there is a lawful request, under the ex-

isting laws, we will comply. The federal courts have upheld what we believe is a wrong-headed law, which allows the White House lo use slate militia as instruments of American foreign policy without consulting the Congress," he said.

"We regret it, but we arc a nation of laws, and we will follow ihe law," said Dorsey.

If Dukakis had chosen lo defy the Pentagon, informed sources said yesterday, the Defense Department was prepared lo cut off lederal fun- ding for all Guard operations in Massachusetts — $119.2 million in fiscal 19X8, including 2,363 full-time jobs.

Ironically, Ihe dispute involves a 13-man squad of public affairs specialists uulil.irv spokesmen.

World Sandanistas question Contra pilot

MANAGUA. Nicaragua — Security agents yesterday questioned a crew member of a rebel plane shot down by Tsandinista troops and ihe army searched Ihe southern

. jungle for others who may have parachuted lo safely. ■ Government troops hit the DC-6 on Saturday with a Soviet-made C2-M rocket, a Defense Ministry com- munique said. Il crashed at Lomas de Arena, 80 miles southeast of Managua in Rio San Juan, a province bordering Costa Rica.

»>■ It. Col. Roberto Calderon. chief of the 5th Military . Zone, said the army had found four bodies — a Colom- bian and three Nicaraguans — and they could include the pilol and co-pilot. No Americans were aboard.

The survivor, Alejandro Herrera, 25, told reporters Sunday in San Carlos, near the crash site, that at least two crew members parachuted from the plane with a supply drop before il was shot down.

Calderon said the two may be U.S.-trained explosives experts.

He said the plane look off from Swan Island, a Hon- duran possession in the Caribbean that has been used for years by American military forces. He also said thai 30 American military personnel direct the Contra supply effort from there and lhal the operation is guarded by 45 Hondurans.

Prosecutor kidnapped in Colombia BOGOTA, Colombia — Gunmen believed to work

for cocaine barons kidnapped Colombia's chief pro- secutor yesterday, and a radio network said they killed him.

Billionaire drug traffickers who call themselves Los Exiradiiables have decl.uecl war on all who favoi ex- traditing them to the United States for trial.

A man who did nol identify himself telephoned Caracol radio and said Attorney General Carlos Hoyos was killed for "betraying the country." the network said. The caller said the attorney general's body was dumped outside Medellin. center of the Colombian drug trade.

A Caracol reporter notified Ihe army and accom- panied soldiers lo the spot, according to ihe station. It said the body was found about 15 miles southeast of Medellin. near the airport, where Hoyos was kidnapped and his two bodyguards were slain at 7:30 a.m. yesterday.

Hoyos was shot many times, and the body was blind- folded and handcuffed, the Caracol reporter said.

Nation Dallas citizens rally to support police

DALLAS — Hundreds of people rallied lo support the beleaguered Police Department on yesterday as authorities said they would try to prosecute bystanders

who yelled "Shoot him. shoot him" before a vagrant killed a police officer.

"It's good lo sec this support in ihe community for a change. Most of Ihe time wc only sec the negative side," said officer Thomas Cicio, observing Ihe crowd of about 400 who marched from the John F, Kennedy Memorial to City Hall and back.

Some carried signs reading "God Bless Our Men and Women in Blue" and "Police Are People. Too."

The shooting of the while officer by the black vagrant Saturday has heightened a growing tension between the mostly while department and the city's minority com- munity, whose leaders have criticized ihe department for several police shootings of blacks.

Meanwhile, police Capt. John Holt said officers were trying to identify the two to 10 onlookers who, accor- ding IO witnesses, yelled "Shoot him, shoot him," en- couraging the vagrant to shoot officer John Chase afler he look Chase's revolver. If any are identified, murder charges could be brought against them. Holl said.

Murdoch given extension for Post WASHINGTON — A federal appeals court yesterday

granted a stay to publisher Rupert Murdoch that will give him a temporary reprieve from having to sell the- New York Post by March 6.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia said Murdoch would not have- to comply with media cross-ownership rules for 45 days after the court issues a final ruling, said Richard Bo/zelli, a lawyer for Ihe Federal Communications Commission.

Murdoch went lo court last week lo appeal the FCC's dismissal of his request for an extension of waivers of the commission's newspaper-TV cross ownership rules. Oral arguments in the case were set for Feb. 11.

Decision postponed on Shuttle launch WASHINGTON — Top NASA officials decided

yesterday to lake another look at the agency's ability lo get ihe space shuttle engines and rockets ready for flight before setting a definite date for launch of the first post- Challenger shuttle.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administtalion has said recently that it expects lo begin flying shuttles again about mid-Augusl.

After day-long meetings with engineers and the space agency's management council, shuttle program director Arnold Aldrich said he decided to "review the readiness of the program elements" in connection wilh the shuttle- booster rockets.

"It is anticipated that a launch date decision will be made later this week," a NASA announcement said.

At the meeting, it was decided to conduct a Ihird lest of the troublesome solid rocket boosters before attemp- ting the first post-Challenger mission.

David Winlerhallcr, NASA's director of systems engineering and analysis, said intentional flaws will be induced in two of the tests of the 149-foot-long rockets al the Morton Thiokol Inc. plant in Utah.

Task force calls for controls on ATVs The Quigmans/Buddy Hickerson WASHING ION — A task force ol stale attorneys

general called yesterday for tougher prohibitions on all- terrain vehicles, saying an agreement between the federal government and manufacturers fails to ade- quately protect young riders.

Meanwhile, consumer and health groups filed a challenge to Ihe recent consent decree in U.S. District Court, urging Judge Stanley Sporkin lo delay any deci- sion on approving the final agreement until a hearing is held.

Last month, the Justice Department, Consumer Pro- duct Safety Commission and ihe industry agreed on a re- quirement lhal manufacturers stop selling the three- wheeled vehicles. But the consent decree puls no pro- hibitions on four-wheeled ones and included no buy- back provision for vehicles already sold.

"We feel the settlement is seriously deficient in several areas and does not adequately address the problems presented by ATVs," said Tennessee Attorney General Michael Cody, chairman of the National Association of Attorneys General task force on the vehicles.

State Mayoral txmunisskHi: Scranton is 'sick'

SCRANTON. Pa. — Scranton faces the prospect of bankruptcy if officials fail to move on recommendations to rescue the city, according to a mayoral commission.

"When wc look al Scanton, we see a city that is sick," said William Evans, vice president of a consultant firm ihe commission hired. "It is in extremely ill health."

Evans' statements came Saturday, when he unveiled the report by Cresap. McCormick and Paget. a consul- tant firm based in Washington. D.C. The firm studied the city's expenditures while the Pennsylvania Economy League looked at revenues.

Evans said Scranton might be in Ihe worst fiscal and operational condition of the 350 municipalities his firm has studied over the years.

"If il is nol right on the boltom, it is very close." he said.

Recommendations made by the report could save the city $3.8 million to $4 million, but al the expense of ma- jor employee cutbacks. Evans said.

The report focused on the police bureau, which it claimed is unnecessarily expensive, poorly managed and inefficient; the fire bureau, which it said provides a high level of service but at a cost substantially greater Ihan necessary; and the public works department, which the report slated lias made considerable strides toward bet- ter service but still needs improvement.

Stanford president supports widespread smoking ban

STANFORD.Ca. — Stanford University should ban smoking in all outdoor facilities with fixed sealing, university President Donald Kennedy said recently.

A ban to this effect, recently proposed by a university ad hoc committee on smoking guidelines, would con- stitute some of the toughest smoking regulations for any stadium in the country, according lo Stanford Universi- ty officials.

"Personally, I believe that people in confined spaces outdoors, particularly |people| with certain kinds of health problems, have Ihe right to be free of the an- noyance and health hazard posed by second-hand smoke." Kennedy told the Stanford Daily.

The proposed ban would cover football and baseball games held al Stanford Stadium as well as events in Frost Amphitheater, such as the spring Grateful Dead concert.

While most Stanford students do not smoke, a ban could anger many alumni who do. according to Sandy Kee. nursing director al Cowell Siudent Health Center.

"It's my sense that there are not loo many Stanford students smoking anymore." Kee said, who has done clinical work with students trying to quit smoking. "Il would have little effect on the syudents, but probably alol of effect on the alumni."

In 1985 the university banned smoking in all Universi- ty buildings with the exception of certain eating areas and completely enclosed offices.

Lafayette humbles W. Basketball, 61-53 QUAKERS, from page 10 scored 27 points and ripped down 14 boards in the second half and forced Pcnn into 11 turnovers. In particular. Tanzcos picked up her game with nine points and seven rebounds by con- stantly getting position on the Quakers' inside players and using her superior height to reach over them.

"I just got a little more intense," Tanzcos said. "|Senior center Bev Ford and Van Nuys) played ama/ing. I have all the respect in the world for them."

"Our defense broke down in situa- tions, and we didn't box out well," Stanley said. "They got too many easy shots."

For Penn. no player scored in dou- ble Figures, as the Leopards' changing defenses saw to that. Lafayette shifted

back and forth between a two-three zone and a man-to-man, with a full- court press thrown in intermittently. The multiple-look defenses, especially the full-court press, disrupted the Quakers' offense in the second half, causing numerous turnovers.

"Our offense just isn't working," Rath said. "It's not going anywhere. We did okay against their man-to- man, but we just couldn't do anything against their two-three zone."

When asked about her (cams' of- fensive woes, Stanley was simply loo frustrated to reply. Rath. Stanley and other Penn players were particularly disheartened by the loss.

"I can't put my Finger on why we can't put logether 40 minutes," Stanley said. "But we haven't done thai yet."

DEFENSE, from page 10 and we got good things off the press."

Throughout ihe game, Lafayette harassed I he Pcnn rebounders to slow down the offense, and occasionally the Leopards would go 10 a full-court press to pick up a quick turnover.

"We turned it over a couple times off the press," Stanley said. "And we made some bad passing judgments."

Throw all of Lafayette's manv and

changing defensive schemes together, and they added up to a difficult night for the Quakers.

"They kept switching defenses — man to zone — and it caught us off guard." senior center Bev Ford ex- plained. "We weren't in place to re- bound because we hadn't adjusted to where (hey were playing. I think a lot of what happened tonight was their switching of defenses."

Gymnastics loses by point to UMBC GYMNASTICS, from page 10 Quakers fell off the bars, and they found themselves trailing UMBC by 1.5 points.

But senior captain Karen Rose's performance on the bars was a bright spot, as she captured first place with an 8.6.

The beam competition proved to be Penn's weakest link of the competi- tion — Five Quakers fell. The Retrievers, however, encountered the same difficulty, and Pcnn freshmen Karen Gashler and Virginia Young managed to tie for first place, giving

Penn a half-point lead going into the final event.

But by that time fatigue was taking its toll on the Quakers, and the Retrievers made up the difference by nailing their routines on the floor exercise.

Quaker Oats WHAT — is going on here? This is the third week of the semester, and this is the first OATS. Somebody's in deep shit around here. By the way, it's banquet rehash time. And boy, there was a lot of hash, oooops, stuff to say. But first, the more important stuff. It's Good Morning. Georgetown, that's right. Alon/o is on the way. Look out world. Four years of domination.

A BANQUET — is a banquet is a banquet. Is a banquet. And the DPOSTM made sure everybody knew why it's the Only Staff That Mailers, especially during the awards presentations. The Cup is back. From (he Pholhot>s. that is. But Zal and Oil Can missed the celebra- tion. They left early. Together. To a frat party. Hmmmmmmmmm- MMimi Broccoli, Cementhead. Punxsy and Mo were all single. And we'll single out the Penn Male and Female Athletes of the Week, or last week, or two weeks ago. That's right, John Spencer and Chrisla Weber are singled out for his performance in a wrestling match against Delaware and her showing in a fencing match against Notre Dame.

IT WAS — a hat's off night to Sparky, as she danced and drank her way to the top of the DPOSTM drinking chart. She pounded down 14 drinks (or so she says) in what is unquestionably a record for DPOSTM females. A phcnominal performance. And another hat's off to Apfelholic. who was right on target with his d-d-d-d-d-dunking of Phothog Friedman. Great shot. dude.

Pitt's Hey ward decides to turn pro PITTSHi K(,H - Ail-American runnini bach

c rai| "Ironhead" Heyward Mid yeuerda) he will •.kip his last year at the UnJvertit) of Pittsburgh to play in the NIL next season.

"I plan to petition the NFL," Heyward told Pitt- sburgh television stations yesterday. "My reasons for doing that [arc] being a Father and coming from a family ol eight — you know, a low-income famil) — so I think the decision that I'm going to make if the decision for me.

"Il all boiled down thai I've had enough of Pitt- sburgh and It's time for me to move on."

The 6-foot. 280-pound Hesward, a redshut junior, can't be selected in the regular NFL draft in April because he has college eligibility rcnuiininc and has not graduated, but could petition for a sup lileineni.il draft should he sign with an agent and forfeit his remaining eligibility.

Heyward said he has not signed I contract with any agent, although he said he has met with ageni Bruce Allen of Phoenix, and "a lot of other agent l."

"I can't say I'm surprised, but I am diiap pointed.'' -aid Put head coach Mike OOttfried mi mediately after Heyward's announcement.

Heyward becomes the third Panther in the last two years to have alleged ongoing contact with an agent, last summer, runnini hack Charles Glad

man and defensive hack I cry I Austin lost their NCAA eligibility after becoming involved with agent Norb) Wallets

Austin was reinstated h> the S( \ \ alter return ing mone) lo Waltcri and terminatini an agreement with him. Gladman, who has nevet admitted taking money from Walters, signed with the lanipa Bay Buccaneers after being passed ovet in a supplemen- tal draft, but left the team in November,

Gladman, a once promisinf back who beat out Heyward fOI I starting job in ls>85. is a perfect e\ ample ol why Heyward should return lo school and not turn pro, Gottfried said

"Crai| can be ■ million dollai athlete . , . bm sonic players are not read) athletically and are not ready in other ways to turn pro." Gottfried said "( harks Gladman wasn't read) to come out and I explained to ( rai| about him. But these agents can pump these kids lull ol I lot ol things I don'i know whai those two guys [Allen and Eric Met/ Allen's insurance agent] are saying in ins ear."

Gottfried said he has notified the NCAA and (he FBI thai Heyward lias had contact with an agent. A ( hicago based federal grand mis is probing the relationship between college athletes and pro agents and may return indictments.

Heyward's decision came hours aftet Gottfried suspended linn lor lading in attend classes this

semester. "There arc people on the team who haven't been

to . lass vet. yet I'm the topic ol everyone's stories."

Heyward told kllk \ l\ He did not name the players

Heyward. who rushed for 1,655 yards last fall, is On term to graduate after the 1988 season and has done well in school, Gottfried said, hut has not at- tended winter seinesiei classes that began Januars 6.

"I didn't know he was going to do it," Gottfried said. "He's got his mind made up and is actine on adv. ice from someone else 1 hev say he's a top draft choice, bin that's no given yet. He's got another year yet and could enhance his chances by staying in -chool."

Heyward said he onl) discussed Ins decision with his brother, Pm seniot runnini hack Nate Heyward, "and we always talked about taking cue of mother and the family and we'd all benefit from it "

Heyward said he didn't know how much money lie would make by turning pro.

"As I.II as I'm concerned. Craig needs lo gel back to school and get squared away, go ihrough the dialt when he should and mavhc sign a million- dollar contract." Gottfried said.

Leopard's zone defense derails Penn Quakers' offense falters after change R> JA1 sM.lBr.R

It'i tough to beat a gixKi zone, lust ask the Pom women'i basket

ball team. They couldn't do it last night against I alayctte. And it cost them, in the form of a 61-53 defeat.

For most of the first half, the Leopard* played a •"sluggish" man toman defense, according to then senior center Diane Tanc/os. \- ,i result, the Quakers jumped out to a 28-24 halftime lead ami outrebounded bigger 1 al'avelte. 27-17.

"We weren't playing well |in the first half)," lanc/os said. " There was

At Courtside J lack ol intensity, and a lot of people were confused out there."

So with her team behind, the I eop.irds' head coach Pal I-isher decided it was time for a change, in Mructini her players to switch to a two-three /one

The change worked to perfection, .is i afayetu stilled Penn and pulled away for the victory, leaving the Quakers to wonder what happened to a game they had under control in the first half.

"We couldn't do anything against |the zone]," I'enn captain Chen I Rath said. "Our offense just wasn't running."

Ironically, Fishet contended thai she went 10 the /one unwillingly, forc- ed into it by foul trouble among her forwards.

"[Theresa] O'Connell and [Laurie] King were getting in foul trouble, and they are two of our belter defensive players," Fishet said. "I would have hked to play man-to-man more, bin our bench is ihin from two injuries. and I couldn't afford to have anyone foul out."

Bui the I eopards' /O\K left a much more profound effect on the game than just protecting O'Connell and King I afayette kept the Quakers off the scoreboard and backboards, forc- ing head coach Marianne Stanley to go to her clipboard often to try to show I'enn how to heal the /one.

Penn's Row Ann Lucas drives past Leopard Theresa O'Connell in the Quakers' 61-53 loss to Lafayette.

And as the Leopards' defense grinded Ihe Quakers to a halt, their players gained confidence on the of- fensive end as well, connecting on 45 percent of their field goal attempts in the second half, up from JO percent in the first 2(1 minutes.

"We regrouped for the second half." ranczossaid. "We keyed in on what we had to do. And we went to a

"The press might have had something to do with it." Penn freshman center Adricnne Van Nuys said. "We weren't executing as well as we could have."

I afayetle's pressure defense forced

ihe Quakers into 23 turnovers, even though the Leopards were without theii hold general, the injured Nicole I einsinger.

"We don't have the press down to where we want it." I isher said. "Our 'quarterback.' Feinsinger, is out and her replacement. O'Connell, is just learning it. But she's tall and lanky.

By IRA APPEL While President Reagan made his

final State of the Union address lasi night, the Slate of the Penn women's basketball learn took another turn for the worse.

What made the Quakers' 61-53 loss to Lafayette so difficult for them to swallow was that Penn appeared to be headed to victory after a strong first half. During that period, the Quakers (I-10) were having a surprisingly easy tune against the leopards' imposing front line of six-foolers — including the 6-3 presence of Lafayette center Diane Tanc/os.

But in the second half, the Leopards (11-6) had loo much inside strength and subsequently pulled away.

Penn dominated the boards in the first half (27-17), and led 28-24. This achievement contrasts to one-of-eight (four-of-16 on the night) shooting by junior point guard Cheryl Rath. While the Quakers had to endure a rare off-night by their captain, two freshmen — Kristen Brendel and Adricnne Van Nuys — combined for 12 points and 10 rebounds to fill the void.

Rath and fellow guards Lara Chap- pell and Rose Ann Lucas continually- led Ihe ball to Brendel. Van Nuys and Perm's other post-players with fre- quency and accuracy. Meanwhile, the Quakers held Tanc/os lo two points and three rebounds and forced Lafayette's starting forwards Laurie King and Theresa O'Connell into a combined two-of-15 shooting.

As the first half ended, the Leopards' head coach Pat Fisher went into her lockerroom frustrated that her team had played so poorly, but not surprised thai Penn had played so well.

I isher had witnessed Quaker head coach Marianne Stanley's coaching ability before and fell that Penn had improved since last year.

"I expected [the Quakers' fast first- half start]," Fisher said. "I think we had prepared our kids pretty 'veil as to what [Penn] was going to do, but they didn't really believe it, because they knew what Penn's record was, and

M. Track squeaks by Yale, but tripped up by Brown By III I KKI PP

I 01 the past three years, the Penn men's track team had Struggled 10 remain competitive against Yale and Brown, but this year was a different story. The Quakers went lo New Haven Sunday with confidence and team-spirit, and it payed off.

Penn finished second, losing lo Brown In ,i narrow margin of 7'; points and defeating Vale by 10.

"We put together ■ heck of a team performance," Quakers' head coach Charlie Powell said. "We performed at a very, very high level, and if it were not for a lew key people being out sick, we probably could have won the entire meet."

Thrower Brad Thompson, who had been showing consistent improvement and who, according to Powell, could have taken second or third in ihe 35-pound weight, and Jo Child, who is one of the top mid-disiance runners in (he conference, as well as Scott Pickering, a jumper, were all absent from Sunday's meet.

I sen with many Quakers on the sick list, Penn put together a solid performance.

"We scored a lot of points that Yale and Brown didn't expect us to ICOre," captain Todd Ream said. "It WSJ probably a big menial boost, and it should give us a lot of confidence lot Navy next weekend - especially for the younger kids "

It was those "younger kids" who racked up the points on the track. I reshmen Dave Oinsburg and Coltranc Gardner placed second and third, respectively, in the 1000-meter run.

"We expect Dave and Coltrane to be two of ihe better runners in the league." Powell said. " Ihev've come of age very quickly."

Senior Bill Fit/maurice and captain Ken Feller placed second and third in the 8(X)-metcr race, and in the process heal out two of ihe top half tnilers in the conference.

All of these points added up, but the Quaker who did the most for Penn Sunday was probably Craig Wiley. Wiley, who is naming to he a decathlete. won the 55-meter high hurdles in 7.62 seconds, took third in the pole vault and placed seventh in the high jump.

W. Track dominates Greater Philadelphia Championships By MARk DRO/DOWSKI

In dominating fashion, the Penn women's track team easily outdistanced eight area schools en route lo victor) in the Greater Philadelphia Championships.

Penn totaled 185 points, with Lafayette (119), St. Joseph's (77) and la Salle (35) the only other teams with significant point totals. The host team. I ehigh, finished last with only eight points.

Penn's depth was the key to victory. Quakers' head coach Belly Costan/a was able to place the maximum of four athletes in almost every event.

"We ran extremely well," Costan/a said. "We had good

times despite running on a slow track. The track was like running in cement."

Christelle Williams led the way for talent-laden Penn (1-0). The junior placed first in the 60-yard high hurdles (8.0 seconds), the 60-yard dash (7.3), and the 220-yard sprint (26.0).

"1 feel better than I felt last year at this time," Williams said. "I've been (raining hard, and I'm where I want lo be."

Senior Jennc Renne broke teammate Betsy Delia's record 39-7'/; in the 20-pound weight throw with a toss of 40-11 '•:.

In fact, two other Quaker throwers broke Delia's record as well. Delia, a senior, bested her own record with a throw of 40-10':, and sophomore Michelle GlantZ threw 40-3':. Penn finished fourth through sixth in the event.

"It's rare to get that much depth in an event." said Quaket assistant coach Tony Tenisei, who coaches the weight events. "We're making great progress and it takes time to become consistent in the throws."

Freshman Sue Merchant, who had missed the previous meet with a pulled hamstring, won the long jump in 17-d

In ihe 440-yard run, sophomore Jeria Wilds look lust place with a lime of 58 seconds, and freshman Kelly Den- son placed third in 1:01.

"Jeria is an excellent runner." Costan/a said. "She's on her way to shattering school records."

Wilds also finished second to Williams in the 220 with a time of 26.7.

Penn dominated the 600-yard run, as the Quakers grabb- ed the first three places. Sharon Roberts won with a time of 1:27.4; Karen Fra/ier ran a 1:27.7 to take second; Maria Kiernan finished third in 1:31.1.

Dcidra Johnson, a promising freshman, had a good outing as she placed second to Williams in the 60-yard dash with a lime of 7.4 seconds.

One of the most interesting performances took place in the 1000-yard run. Senior Jill Delfs. nurturing an ag- gravated vertebrae, ran a personal-best 2:38.7. Dell's' nearest competition finished at 2:52.6. so she had to pace herself, due to the lack of pressure.

"I was just trying to hit the splits." Delfs said. "I work- ed out hard on Thursday and had only two days to res:, rather than the usual three."

their record is not indicative of the kind of team that they have."

"They're a much more organized team than I've seen in the past five years," she continued. "They're ex- ecuting belter; they don't get into a street game. If they get behind, they're going to be patient."

Part of Lafayette's first-half slug- gishness may be attributed lo its schedule, last night's contest comes between two conference games, in-

eluding iheir next game against arch- rival Lehigh.

"In all honesty, I was looking past this game in the first half," Tanc/os said. "A lot of people thought that we would come down here with a big head, thinking we'd blow them out. But it wasn't like that at all."

"We have a difficult time playing outside our conference in the middle of the season," Fisher said. "You think it's a good break for you, but your kids don't accept it that way."

Although the Quakers played well in the first half, they were unable lo put the Leopards away. Lafayette re- bounded from a five-point deficit with 8:20 remaining — Penn's biggest lead of the first half — to score six straight.

The Quakers' inability lo hold on to the lead proved fatal in the end. In the second half, the Leopards outre- bounded the Quakers, 20-19, getting the vital inside shots.

Gymnastics suffers loss toUMBC Quakers finish less than one point short B> GALINA ESPINOZA

So the Penn gymnastics team was competing for the third time in seven days. So freshman star Susan Lidsky contracted the flu and was forced to withdraw from the competition at the last minute.

So what? Maybe the outcome of Saturday's meet against the Universi- ty of Maryland-Baltimore County, a 165.85-164.95 defeat, would have been different — it's possible.

Bui ihe bottom and most disturbing line for the Quakers (2-2) must be that they had a very real chance at victory nonetheless, but could not take ad- vantage of the opportunities which arose.

"We were clearly the better team," Penn head coach Tom Kovie said. "But we didn't hit our routines. We had too many misses."

Fatigue was clearly a factor. While the Retrievers were idle for almost a week, the Quakers had been com- peting against Northeastern (a loss) and West Chester (a record-breaking victory).

"Gymnastics is not only physically demanding, it's emotionally drain- ing," sophomore Alison Block said. "It's really hard to get your head together for one meet, let alone three meets in seven days."

Lidsky's absence was also a factor, even though junior Kelly Carmody filled Lidsky's spot admirably while performing in the all-around competi- tion for the first lime this season.

"We don't rely on just one per- son," freshman Lisa Muraika said. "But we really lost a lot when we lost Susan for the meet."

The excuses are line and dandy, but Penn let victory slip away with poor execution and concentration.

The vault is usually the Quakers' strongest event, but against the Retrievers, however, they were very sloppy. In fact, only sophomore Lisa Muraika fared well on vault, placing first with a 8.95 routine.

Penn's fate went from bad to worse, as the Quakers rotated from vault to the uneven parallel bars. Four
