West Phila. FreeA call for University volunteers to teach

in the West Philadelphia Community FreeSchool has been issued by Dr. David R.Goddard, Provost, along with Free Schoolplanners Dr. Aase Eriksen of the Gradu-ate School of Education and Francis M.Betts III, Assistant to the President forExternal Affairs.The Free School, a new system of small

houses designed to relieve overcrowding atWest Philadelphia High School, will openthe first two of its proposed five units inNovember. Each house will have no morethan 200 pupils.

Black Center Organized;Council Weighs Black StudiesTo increase opportunities for activities

related to black students and Afro-Amer-ican culture, a non-profit corporation hasbeen formed by black students and com-munity leaders to operate a black students'center at 3914 Locust St.The new corporation Nyumba ya

Ujamii, Inc., (Swahili for "House of thefamily") was formed early in Septemberand will rent its building from the Uni-versity. The facility, formerly the parishhouse of St. Mary's Episcopal Church,was purchased by the University in Mayfor $60,000. Activities of the corporationwill he carried on with funds raised bythe students from private sources. Thecenter is not being established throughdirect University channels, said Mrs. AliceF. Emerson, Dean of Students, becausedirect University support of a center de-voted solely to concerns of black peoplemight jeopardize the University's eligibilityfor Federal and state funds.

"A center whose focus is the concernsof black people greatly enhances the op-portunities for intellectual and social de-velopment of students on the campus andprovides a setting for establishing a pro-gressive dialogue between students andthe wider community," Mrs. Emerson said.Among activities to be housed at the

black students' center are a black studies(Continued on page 6)

other educational institutions and to busi-nesses and industries which are volunteer-ing staff time and facilities to teach smallgroups. The business-and-industry involve-ment is not a vocational project, Dr.Eriksen points out, but is an elective-en-richment program designed to make thebasic subjects relevant and to help the stu-dent know and understand his total com-munity.

The Steering Committee of the Univer-sity Council has begun to constitute a newspecial committee to consider all proposalsfor a black studies program at the Univer-sity.

Mortgage Plan Is EndedAfter Four YearsThe First Pennsylvania Banking and

Trust Company has terminated the guar-anteed mortgage program under whichUniversity faculty and staff members havebought and/or renovated some 150 homesin University City since 1965.The termination, effective September

13, 1969. was made necessary by the con-dition of the current money market, thehank explained.

Aside from the overall national tight-ness of money, University Associate Treas-urer George B. Peters said, the Common-wealth of Pennsylvania imposes a 72ceiling on mortgage loans. Since bankscan receive the 8' prime interest rateon other kinds of investments, this tendsto dry up sources of funds for home fi-nancing for the time being.

"Should the condition of the moneymarket improve," Mr. Peters said, "wehope to resume this highly successfulprogram."The plan, which had begun with a

$2,000,000 limit, was so popular that thelimit was raised to $3,000,000 in 1967.and the amount guaranteed was within afew dollars of the new limit when thetermination came.

Wharton Limits R.O.T.C. CreditThe faculty of the Wharton School

voted last spring to eliminate academiccredit for courses taught exclusively bymilitary instructors while the faculty ofthe Engineering Schools agreed that creditwill be based upon an analysis of the aca-demic content of the courses.

Earlier in the year the College of Artsand Sciences had decided students wouldreceive credit only for those courses of-fered and taught by a University academicdepartment. Military science coursestaught by military officers assigned by theArmy and Navy, with academic contentdetermined by the Army and Navy andintended solely for the education of futuremilitary officers, would be noted in a stu-dent's transcript but not counted towardcourses needed for graduation.The Wharton faculty has determined

that credit toward the baccalaureate degreeshould be given only for such courses asare offered under the auspices of an estab-lished civilian academic department, ap-proved in the usual manner by a facultycurriculum committee, and taught by aregularly appointed member of the depart-

ment involved whomay either be a civilianor a member of the military service.Further, academic credit will not be givenfor any course in which enrollment is re-stricted to ROTC students.

In the Engineering schools, a maximumof four course units of credit will be al-lowed, subject to the approval of each stu-dent's faculty advisors. While the facultyhas determined that credit will be givenonly after analysis of content, to date nosuch analysis has been completed.

New Ph.D. Course StartsIn Political ScienceThe University has received a grant of

$100,000 from the National ScienceFoundation in support of a revised Ph.D.program developed by the Department ofPolitical Science. According to Dr. OliverP. Williams, professor of political scienceand chairman of the department, studentswill be able to earn the Ph.D. degree infour years (including two summers ofstudy) rather than the period of five orsix years previously needed.

West Philadelphia this summer took partin a work-study program at the Univer-sity's Computer Center.The six-week "Introduction to Com-

puter Careers" was sponsored by theCenter with pupils' salaries underwrittenby local organizations including the FirstPennsylvania Banking and Trust Co., WestPhiladelphia Chamber of Commerce, theFidelity Bank, and H. Freeman & Sons,Inc.The 24 juniors and seniors, mostly from

West Philadelphia and Overbrook HighSchools were hand-picked for average toabove-average mathematical ability butwere not "whiz kids" who were alreadycollege-bound, according to Dr. David N.Freeman, director of the Computer Center.Another 84 West Philadelphia High

School students were chosen for a Uni-versity program on the basis of their fail-ures, the University Community RelationsOffice's Leonard Dill reported.

Individual tutoring plus an enrichmentprogram were set up for those whose fail-ures in math, science, history, Englishand foreign languages put them in thepotential drop-out category at the highschool. At the end of six weeks, com-munity representative Mrs. Ada Alexandersaid, the personal tutoring system hadbrought numerous chronic class-cuttingstudents to near-perfect attendance. An-other 80 public school children joined 46teachers in the Campus Summer School

Hospital ConsolidationWill Not Take Place

Plans for the consolidation of resourcesof Presbyterian-University of PennsylvaniaMedical Center and The Graduate Hospi-tal have been cancelled, according to astatement issued late June by Presbyterianand the University of Pennsylvania.The Graduate Hospital of the University

of Pennsylvania will remain at its present19th and Lombard Street location.The original plan to relocate Graduate's

facilities at Presbyterian's 39th and Powel-ton Avenue site was announced in July,1965, and was based on a suggestion of thelocal Hospital Survey Committee.

Speaking for the University, Dr. LutherL. Terry, vice president for medical affairs,explained that it has become evident thatthe medical needs of the immediate com-munity near 19th and Lombard streetscould not be met satisfactorily if TheGraduate Hospital were to be relocated.

Free School to Open.(Continued from page 1)

Among resources most needed from theUniversity are volunteers who can arrangelaboratory work in the physical sciencesfor groups of youngsters, according to Mr.Betts. Faculty members volunteer as indi-viduals, he pointed out, and the use offacilities must then be approved by the de-partment or school.More than 70 businesses and nonprofit

organizations are being contacted by Mr.Betts to build a network of resources forthe "floating" portion of the program. Dr.Eriksen works out the curriculum plans ineach case, and is also in charge of trainingWest Philadelphia teachers to work in thisexperimental system.

Selection of the basic teaching staff foreach house is being handled jointly by theHigh School and by a community groupcalled the WPHS Advisory Committee.Committee member Mrs. Novella Williamsof the Citizens for Progress has been activein educational design and planning.The scattered schoolhouses will be part

of the District One program headed by Dr.Marechal-Neil E. Young, with supervisionby WPHS principal Walter Scott. TheUniversity's formal relationship is throughDr. Eriksen, who has been named con-sultant to the program, and through itsvoluntary contributions, including Mr.Betts' planning services.
