Trustees Approve ConceptsOf Unit 3 Land Use Plan

In response to a proposal by the Quad-ripartite Commission on University-Com-munity Development, the Executive Boardof the Trustees has passed the following re-solution which "approves in principle ofthe concept" of mixed residential-commer-cial land use, and assigns administrativeofficers to initiate discussions with those in-volved in Urban Renewal Unit Three northof the campus:WHEREAS the Quadripartite Commis-

sion sponsored a planning charrette whichwas conducted by The Young Great So-ciety Architecture and Planning Center andwhich was concerned with reviewing theland use plan currently approved for UnitIII; andWHEREAS the results of the charrette

suggest an alternate plan which includes adifferent mixture of residential and institu-tional land uses; andWHEREAS the Commission has ap-

proved the concept underlying the pro-posed alternate plan and has urged theAdministration and the Trustees to usetheir best efforts to implement some formof land use in Area III which would rec-ognize the concept advocated by the plan-ning charrette: Therefore be itRESOLVED, That the Executive Board

of the Trustees acknowledge with appre-ciation the reccmmendations of the Quad-ripartite Commission and the receipt ofthe report, noting that the University, assuch, is not a redeveloper in Unit Ill, andresponds as follows:

In consonance with the University desireto be a good neighbor to both the com-munity and its neighboring and associatedinstitutions:

1. The Executive Board approves inprinciple of the concept of including re-sidential and necessary associated facili-ties (shopping, schools, medical care, em-ployment opportunities, etc.) in redevelop-ment proposals where the primary thrustis institutional expansion;2. The members of the Executive Board

as such profess no competence to adjudgethe merits of the particular plan proposed

War Not Condemned by Council,Peace Monument Is EndorsedThe University Council at its regular

meeting November 12, defeated by a voteof 51 to 28 a motion that would havecondemned further American participationin the war in Vietnam. This motion alsowould have rejected any University co-operation with the war effort, opposedthe spread of militarism in Americansociety and prevented its intrusion withinthe University.

In a related action, the Council approvedcirculation of a ftatement which memberscould sign, on an individual basis, urgingthe President and the Congress to adopt astepped-up timetable for withdrawal fromVietnam.

At a special meeting on October 30, theCouncil defeated a motion to lower flagson campus to half-staff as had been re-quested by a special University-wide assem-bly on October 15 and an earlier Plenummeeting of the Community of Students.The Council voted to support establishmentby members of the University community,of a peace memorial to those who havedied in Vietnam. President Harnwell hasappointed a committee of his staff mem-bers to work with students and faculty onthis memorial, which is expected to becompleted by mid-December. Named tothis committee are: John A. Russell, Jr.,

First Unit to OpenIn Free School ProjectA converted fieldstone house at 3833

Walnut Street is the first unit to open inthe West Philadelphia Community FreeSchool system being set up by the Univer-sity, the Philadelphia school board and thecommunity.The Free School system expects to add

four more units by the end of the schoolyear to take up to 1000 students fromWest Philadelphia High School, wherenearly 4000 are now enrolled in facilitiesbuilt for 2400.

The text of the petition to be circulatedto members of the Council reads as fol-lows: 'We speak as individuals who relateto youngmen and women. The Universitywith which we are associated takes no posi-tion as an institution on the Vietnam war;it is a pluralistic community where menspeak for themselves alone on off-campusissues.

"'There are times to be silent and timesto speak. This is a time to speak. Theaccumulated costs of the Vietnam war arenot in men and material alone. There arecosts too in the effects on young people'shopes and beliefs. Like ourselves, the vastmajority of our students still want to be-

Senate Declines to ActOn U. S. War InvolvementThe University Senate resolved October

29, by a vote of 265 to 140, that "It is in-advisable for the University Senate to actupon a resolution concerning United Statesinvolvement in Vietnam, and the Univer-sity Senate therefore declines to considerthe merits of such a resolution."

Bernard Wolfman, professor of law andchairman of the Senate, said the resolutionadopted was introduced as a substitute fora resolution condemning the continuingAmerican military involvement in Vietnam,calling for immediate withdrawal of allAmerican forces, and demanding a reversalof national priorities away from militarismand toward social reform.

A referendum of Senate members is be-ing held to determine if the chairman ofthe Senate should distribute the originalresolution to be signed as a petition byindividual faculty members.

AidtoStudentsExceeds $14 MillionA record $14,330,000 in financial aid

was awarded to undergraduate, graduateand professional school students duringthe 1968-69 academic year. This total is5.5 per cent greater than the $13,583,000which was awarded in 1967-68.

"This growth in aid demonstrates theUniversity's determination to remove theeconomic barriers to enrollment, even ascosts have been soaring. But disturbingfactors in the growth of aid funds areevident. Over the past 15 years, thegrowth in loans and jobs for students atvirtually all universities has been propor-tionately much greater than the growthin funds for scholarships. Pennsylvania isno exception and we look with concernon the prospect of asking students to takeon even larger loan and job commitments,"said Dr. George A. Schlekat, Dean ofAdmissions and Financial Aid.

Financial aid to undergraduates in1968-69 reached a record of $6,261,205in awards of scholarships, loans and part-time employment, to 3,179 students (47per cent of the full-time enrollment).Awards are based solely on need and there-fore awards to individual students may bemore or less than the average for a parti-cular group. This amount compares with$5,437,980 in awards to a similar percent-age of students in 1967-68. Aid to fresh-men beginning studies this fall exceeds$2.2 million.During the past year, recruitment of

students from disadvantaged economicbackgrounds has been carried out activelywith strong financial support from theBudget Committee and from the Trusteesfor the financial assistance of these stu-dents. Among approximately 250 blackstudents who were offered admission toenter this fall, 150 have matriculated and

a substantial amount of financial aid hasbeen awarded to a great many of themto enable them to study here. "Thisdemonstrates a particular concern to pro-vide greater educational opportunities formembers of minority groups," said Dr.Schlekat.

Sixty-eight of the 72 students enteringthis fall under the Small CommunitiesTalent Program are receiving financial aid.In this program, the Office of Admissionsin cooperation with public schools through-out Pennsylvania, attempts to recruit prom-ising students who are qualified academi-cally but who need encouragement to seekthe University in terms of significant finan-cial support.

Residents of the City of Philadelphiawho are receiving financial aid include244 undergraduates awarded Mayor'sScholarships, which are funded by the Uni-versity, and Board of Education Scholar-ships for which about 75 per cent of thefunding is provided by the University.

In the graduate divisions and schoolsand the graduate professional schools, atotal of 4,539 students received $7,892,245in financial aid during the 1968-69 aca-demic year. In the graduate divisions andschools, 71 per cent of the students re-ceived aid totaling $5,888,125 (of whichmore than $1 million was awarded asteaching or research fellowships). In thegraduate professional schools, 1,117 stu-dents or 57 per cent of the enrollment re-ceived financial aid awards totaling $2,-004,120.

Awards were also made in the area ofspecial programs including the College ofGeneral Studies, the Evening School ofAccounts and Finance, and the GeneralNursing program where 731 students re-ceived a total of $176,550.

Dow Chemical PoliciesDiscussed by Official of Firm

As specified in the policy approved lastmonth by the University Council on dis-cussions for prospective employers usingthe Placement Service, a representative ofDow Chemical Co., came to the Uni-versity on November 25, to discuss thecompany's policies, as requested by a peti-tion from students.The Dow Chemical recruitment visit of

November 5 was postponed and a newdate has not yet been set.James H. Pearce was the Dow repre-

sentative participating in the discussion.Dr. Charles C. Price, Benjamin FranklinProfessor of Chemistry, was moderator ofthe discussion.

Faculty and administrative officerswho are members of the Universityof Pennsylvania Club of New YorkCity may become members of theColumbia University Club, 4 W.43rd St., New York City, as resultof a new affiliation.

Pennsylvania Club members willbe accorded full membership priv-ileges and may participate in allsocial functions sponsored by theColumbia University Club. Infor-mation may be obtained from theAlumni Relations Office on campus.

Wharton Gold MedalGiven to I. T. T. HeadThe recipient of the twentieth annual

Wharton Gold Medal Award "for distin-guished leadership in the promotion ofpublic understanding of business" and"personal contribution to the progress ofAmerican business" was Harold S. Geneen,chairman and president of InternationalTelephone and Telegraph Corporation.The Gold Medal Award was presented

to Geneen by the Wharton School AlumniSociety at the annual Gold Medal dinner,November 24.

Mr. Geneen has transformed ITTsmanagement and control from the originalholding-company type to a central manage-ment team which directs the firm's opera-tions worldwide. ITT now comprises over200 companies and divisions in 67 nationsand employs about 300,000 persons. Since1959, Geneen has directed ITTs growthfrom an annual rate of sales of $765 mil-lion to more than $4 billion in 1968.

Nominations Are AcceptedFor Honorary DegreesThe Committee on Faculty Affairs of the

University Council is accepting nomina-tions from schools, departments, UniversityCouncil members and faculty members ofcandidates for honorary degrees to be con-ferred at next May's Commencement. TheCommittee requests that all nominations,with full supporting biographical data, besent by December 1, to Robert G. Lorn-dale, Associate Secretary, 112 College Hall.

Nominations not acted on in previousyears will not be considered automaticallythis year, and new nominations of such per-sons, with full current supporting material,must be made for reconsideration.

New Director Is NamedFor University PressFred Dernburg Wieck has succeeded

Gordon Hubel as Director of the Univer-sity of Pennsylvania Press.

Immediately before his appointment tothe University, Mr. Wieck served the Uni-versity of Texas at Austin as Assistant forPublications to the Dean, College of Artsand Sciences, and a pro tern Director ofthe National Tranlation Center there.

In 1961, he became senior editor incharge of special projects with Harcourt,Brace, & World, Inc., and with Harper &Row, Publishers, Inc. (1962-67) Hecontinues to advise Harper & Row as con-sulting editor in Continental philosophy.

Land Use(Continued from page 1)

for Unit III nor the practicality of itsimplementation within the timing and dol-lar constraints set forth in the report;3. The Executive Board recognizes that

the University cannot unilaterally changethe plan for Unit III nor could it eveneffectively advocate a change without theclear concurrence of all affected partiesincluding City and Federal agencies, thedesignated redevelopers, and a sufficientlybroad segment of the community.

4. However, in an effort to be responsiveto the recommendations of the Quadri-partite Commission, the Executive Boardwill direct appropriate University officersto initiate discussions with the concernedCity agencies as well as with representa-tives of the organizations under contractwith the Redevelopment Authority to actas redevelopers in Unit III in order todetermine the effect both legally and prac-tically of the specific proposals of thecharrette and any modifications thereofwhich would give effect to the conceptreferred to in No. I above and at the sametime be consistent with the basic objectivesof the currently approved Urban RenewalPlan.The Charrette's plan to revise land use

in Unit Three was completed following atwo-week intensive planning session whichincluded consultation with agencies, insti-tutions and community groups involved inpresent redevelopment projects there.The new proposal calls for approxi-

mately 400 units in addition to the 185already scheduled for Unit Three, and it

outlines some approaches to making theseunits available in the low-income housingrange.

It also includes recommendations forcommercial services needed for a residen-tial development of the area, which wasset up as all-institutional under the urbanrenewal concept of the early 1960's.To secure land for additional housing

and services, it would be necessary for theappropriate government agencies to re-assign some 9.7 acres of land now sched-uled for institutional use, and to go out-side Unit Three for one site of 2.1 acres.

Reassignment would subtract 3.4 acresfrom the University City Science Center for156 housing units; I acre from the Univer-sity City High School for 40 units; 4.5 acresfrom Presbyterian Hospital-University ofPennsylvania Medical Center for 112 units;and 0.67 acres from the Working Blind for22 units.The plan would also seek to purchase

under the Federal 'Write-Down" Programthe 2.1 acre Saunders House site north ofPowelton Avenue, to provide 72 housingunits. Saunders House, a private retire-ment home, has announced that it intendsto relocate, probably in the next two years.

These new sites would be in additionto three tracts already scheduled for low-income housing in Unit Three. One is a2-acre site at Filbert and 36th, reassignedfrom Science Center holdings to RenewalHousing Inc. for 66 housing units. An-other Renewal Housing parcel, a one-acreblock for 37 units at Warren and 36th,had been University City High School landbefore reassignment. The third low-income

3

housing site was the Presbyterian Center's1.9 acres at 40th and Powelton, where aCenter subsidiary had scheduled 82 units.A mixture of financing methods would

be required to implement the CharrettePlan. In its report, the Charrette pointsto the 1968 Federal Housing Act's sections235 (for single-family homes owned byresidents) and 236 (for multi-family apart-ment buildings rented to low-income fam-ilies). Section 235 subsidizes mortgagesfrom the normal 71/2 % down to 1% onhomes the Charrette projects at $16,000for families earning $5000-$7000.

Section 236 works much the same, andthe Charrette Plan would create apart-ments of two or three bedrooms at around$120-suitable for the $5500-$8000 in-come range. Federal rent subsidies areavailable to bring these apartments withinthe range of true low-income families($3000-$6000), the Charrette points out,but by law only 20% of the units in agiven project can have rent supplements.A third financing method suggested in

the report is the Turn-key III public hous-ing program which allows a portion of thetenant's rent to be held toward a down-payment to purchase the property, enablingfamilies in the $4200-$4500 range to be-come home-owners.The Charrette Report is being circulated

to interested institutions and groups whichhave no official status in Unit Three, suchas the University, as well as to the devel-opers directly involved there.The actual decision to re-schedule land

use in the unit would require approvalsto be obtained successively from the Re-development Authority, the City PlanningCommission, the City Council and thefederal Department of Housing and UrbanDevelopment.

Dr. James E. Allen GetsSpecial Education AwardThe 1969 National Award of Distinction

was presented to Dr. James E. Allen, Jr.,U. S. Commissioner of Education, at adinner November 21, by the Alumni Asso-ciation of the Graduate School of Educa-tion.

Dr. Allen, who also is an Assistant Secre-tary of Health, Education and Welfare,was cited for leadership and courage in atime of controversy in education, said Dr.Helen Bailey, chairman of the AlumniAssociation's awards committee.

Before appointment as Commissioner,Dr. Allen was for 14 years New YorkState Commissioner of Education.

In the proposed development plan for Unit Three, the three shaded areas aboveare sites now planned for low-income housing. Five additional sites are recommendedby the Charrette Report submitted this month to the Trustees' Executive Board.

Thermoluminescence Is Researched at MuseumScientists at the University Museum's

Applied Science Center for Archaeologyhave received a $61,000 National ScienceFoundation grant to explore how the phe-nomenon of thermoluminescence in pottery-its tendency to glow under certain con-ditions-may be used as a precise, archae-ological dating tool.They hope to refine existing knowledge

into a routine system that will supplementand in some ways surpass, the widely-usedcarbon-14 method.Thermoluminescent dating allows pot-

tery itself to be dated rather than relatingit to the age of the organic material inwhich it is found. In addition, the factthat pottery has been in universal use forthe last 9,000 years, plus TL-dating's nearinfallibility in detecting forgeries, give thenew technique important advantages overcarbon-14 dating.Thephenomenon of thermoluminescence

was first noted by the English chemist andphysicist, Robert Boyle, in 1663. Its basicprinciple is that energy, absorbed andstored in inorganic material, can be stim-ulated by thermal agitation and releasedin the form of light.

In the case of pottery, traces of radio-active impurities (uranium, thorium andpotassium) within the potter's clay bom-bard its other constituents with alpha, betaand gamma rays and raise certain elec-trons to metastable, or slightly unstablelevels.When the clay is heated, these meta-

stable electrons fall back into stable posi-tion-emitting photons of light as theydo so-and become trapped in "faults"in the crystal lattice of the clay.

Thus, when the initial firing dissipatedthe natural thermoluminescence accumu-lated during geological time, the pottery's'TL clock" was set at zero from an arch-aeological point of view. As the centuriespass, however, the pottery gradually re-acquires its TL sensitivity at the rate ofabout 100 rads a century. (By way of il-lustration, the radiation emitted in a den-

Library users are now required topresent their University identifica-tion cards to check out books fromthe Van Pelt Library.The policy change is the result of

a switch-over from a manual recordkeeping system to an automatedcharging system.To speed transition, those who

currently have books charged fromthe library are requested to returnthem to the circulation desk to re-charge them under the new system.

tal x-ray equals about 1000 reds).When the pottery is reheated in the

laboratory, the level of TL observed byphotomultiplying devices is indicative ofthe accumulated radiation damage, andtherefore, the amount of time that haselapsed since the pot was originally fired.The older the pottery, the greater theglow that can be observed.

During 1968, more than 40 tests of "un-knowns" and checks for authenticationwere made at MASCA that have alreadyproved of value to archaeology. In addi-tion, TL dating methods are now bothsupplementing and supplanting radiocar-bon dates for some objects..For example, because of fluctuations

in carbon-14 dates for the period between1500 and 1700 A.D., TL dates have beenaccepted as the more reliable ones for

samples from a shipwreck off the northcoast of Jamaica, placing it at an age ap-propriate for Columbus's flagship, theSanta Maria.

In other cases, especially with Etruscanstatues on display in museums for dec-ades, TL-dating was able to determinethat the objects were fired only withinthe last hundred years, and thus exposedthem as forgeries.

"Archaeologists are just beginning tolearn about the successful applications ofthermoluminescence. There is little doubt,however, that within the next few yearsthe number of thermoluminescence datingstations installed for archaeology will becomparable to those currently engagedin radio-carbon dating," Dr. FroelichRainey, Director of the University Mu-seum, said.

Free School(Continued from page 1)

University to the Board of Education, isexpected to open in December after itsteachers receive special training and its200 students choose a name for the unit.The Free School system plan calls for

five such scattered houses eventually, eachwith a maximum of 200 students led byeight teachers. An ungraded experimentalcurriculum will be offered in two principalparts: one consisting of core subjectstaught at the house including mathe-matics, English, science, history, and for-eign languages; the other providing a"floating" elective-enrichment programtaught on-location by volunteer personnelin business, industrial, civic and educa-tional institutions in the immediate neigh-borhood. Studying at a bank, for exampleis encouraged for the exposure to basicmathematics skills needed in the fieldrather than as vocational training. Thisreflects the emphasis in the project on the"Three R's" plus a fourth one called "Rel-evance", said Dr. Aase Eriksen of theGraduate School of Education whoplanned the Free School system at therequest of parents and community leadersin West Philadelphia who were dissatisfiedwith present patterns of education.The Free School system is named for

the "friskoler" system of Dr. Enksen'snative Denmark, where such schools havebeen established by parents or communitygroups according to their own interpre-tations of their children's educationalneeds.

Parents and community leaders fromWest Philadelphia are involved at all stagesof development of the Free School system,

Dr. Eriksen said. Working with her andwith Francis M. Betts III, Assistant to thePresident for External Affairs, has beenthe West Philadelphia High School Ad-visory Board, which is currently helpingselect teachers and will later provideteacher aides for the Free School houses.Basic operating costs will be from theSchool Board's allotment to West Phila-delphia (at a citywide average of $750per pupil per year). Remodeling and start-up costs, about $15,000 to $20,000 perhouse, are now being sought by Univer-sity volunteers on behalf of the FreeSchools. Indirect contributions includethose of companies and institutions whichabsorb the overhead of courses taughton-location by their employees.At the University, an early volunteer

was the athletic department, which sur-veyed its use of recreational facilities andhas now offered them at morning hourswhen high-school students need them mostbut college students use them least.

The Reading Clinic also found it couldfit high school remedial work into itsschedule, and numerous physical-sciencelaboratory courses are expected to be avail-able as individual faculty members volun-teer their time and then secure schoolpermission to use their laboratories athours convenient both to the Free Schooland to the University.The University Plaza Merchants' As-

Archive to Be AssembledOf Medieval ManuscriptsA grant from the Council on Library

Resources, Inc., will enable the Universityto build up an archive of medieval manu-scripts on film. The project is sponsoredby the Medieval Studies Committee, ofwhich Dr. Ruth I. Dean, lecturer in theDepartment of English and Romance Lan-guages and Medieval Bibliographer in theLibrary, is chairman.

As planned, the archive will be com-posed of negative microfilms of medievalmanuscripts from which enlarged printswould be made by Xerox or some com-parable process, bound in book form, cata-loged for ready reference, and shelved ina special area of the library. The negativeswill remain in the archive while the book-form prints will be available for loan orpurchase by any scholar or student.

Special Luncheon HonorsEmeritus ProfessorsTwenty emeritus professors were hon-

ored at a Faculty Club luncheon, October3. The thirteen emeritus professors whowere able to attend the luncheon haveserved the University for a combined totalof 718 years.

President Harnwell offered the congratu-lations of the faculties, officers, and Trus-tees. He presented the emeritus professorscertificates on behalf of Chairman of theTrustees William L. Day.

From the College of Arts and Sciences,the emeritus professors present were Dr.Lynn M. Case, emeritus professor of his-tory; Dr. Otakar Odlozilik, emeritus pro-fessor of history; and Dr. Enos E. Witmer,emeritus associate professor of physics.The School of Medicine emeritus pro-

fessors present were Dr. Wilfred E. Fry,emeritus professor of clinical ophthalmol-ogy (effective July 1, 1968); Dr. T. F.McNair Scott, emeritus professor of pedi-atrics; Dr. Lauren H. Smith, emeritus pro-fessor of psychiatry; Dr. Elizabeth KirkRose, emeritus associate professor of com-munity medicine and pediatrics; Dr. JohnC. Williams, emeritus associate professorof anatomy; and Dr. S. Culver Williams,emeritus associate professor of anatomy.

Wharton School of Finance and Com-merce professors present were Dr. DavidT. Rowlands, emeritus professor of fi-nance; Dr. Chester A. Kline, emeritus as-sociate professor of insurance; and Dr.Arthur 1). Maxwell, emeritus associateprofessor of accounting.The Graduate School of Education was

Off-campus, some 70 additional organi-zations have been contacted by Mr. Bells,and more than 40 representatives haveresponded so far.

Core-subject teachers and pupils willcome from West Philadelphia High Schooland the Free School will function underthe direction of WPHS principal WalterScott and District One Superintendent,Dr. Marechal-Neil E. Young.As each house prepares to open, some

200 names will be chosen at random fromthe High School's total roster, and studentswill be given a choice whether to join theexperiment or not. Random selection willalso be used to replace those who electnot to go into the house system and nostudents will be chosen through applica-tion or referral, Dr. Eriksen said.

Such random selection is done to sat-isfy a special need of the community ad-visory committee. "The object is to avoidsetting up an 'elite' pilot program of stu-dents who are already highly motivated.This community wants to show what canbe done for any inner city child, if yougive him something other than the mas-sive urban high school as an alternative,"Dr. Eriksen added.

Virtually all the work to found the FreeSchool system has been carried out on averbal basis and there is no formal con-tract between the University and the Boardof Education. One formal link is providedthrough the appointment of Dr. Eriksenas consultant to the project.

Locust Street Is ClosedFrom 37th to 40th Streets

Because of construction work on the"superblock" of the new Student HousingProject, Locust Street is being closed from37th to 40th Streets.

Pedestrian use of Locust Street from38th to 40th is discouraged to allow accessof construction vehicles and permit workon utility trenches. From 37th to 38thStreet, it will be open only for pedestriantraffic and access of service or emergencyvehicles.

A permanent barricade will be placedat Locust Street on the west side of 38thStreet. Access to the parking lot there andthe sidewalk on the north side of Locustwill remain to allow entrance to KappaAlpha and Sigma Chi fraternities, theChaplain's house, and Kappa KappaGamma sorority. A driveway will be builtfrom 39th Street for access to the KappaKappa Gamma and Sigma Chi parking lots.

Vehicular gates will be built to the eastof 40th Street and the west of 39th Streeton Locust to allow special access of privatevehicles to St. Mary's Church.

Pedestrian access to the Black StudentsCenter and St. Mary's Church will continuethrough an entrance from Spruce Street.Irving Street from 40th Street may be usedby vehicles for access to those buildings.By the fall of 1972, this entire segment

will have been landscaped as a continuationof Locust Walk.

Teachers Trained for Urban WorkNineteen students are participating this

year in the new live-in" ExperimentalTeacher Program in Urban Education atthe Graduate School of Education.Funded by the University and by a

$90,000 U.S. Office of Education grant,the program began last year as a develop-ment-research project focusing on teachertraining for the inner city.The program includes an initial, three-

month summer session, one academic year,then an additional summer session. Thesecond year is spent in full-time, super-vised teaching in an urban high school.During both of the summer sessions,

the students live full-time in the predom-inantly-black Mantua area just north ofthe campus to work with communityagencies, primarily The Young Great So-ciety (YGS) on housing, job training,neighborhood medical centers, play streetsand neighborhood development."Our primary objective is to train suc-

cessive groups of teachers for urban schoolswho have the knowledge, attitudes and

skills to make a difference in community-school relationships," said Dr. Richard A.Gibboney, associate professor of education,and project director.

Other cooperating community institu-tions are Sayre Junior High School, theSayre Enrichment Center, and the Penn-sylvania Advancement School.During the academic year, the curri-

culum includes such innovative techniquesas group dynamics and "micro-teaching,"which makes use of video-tape replays toimprove teaching skills."We try, through our 'home movies' to

show them what they're doing. There isa vast difference between analyzing teach-ing, and then trying to do it, and thereverse: seeing yourself in action, thenanalyzing what you have done," Dr. Gib-boney said.

Five black students are presently takingpart in the program, and new recruitmenttechniques are planned in an effort to at-tract more students of varying race, age,and social backgrounds.

Antiques Show ProceedsPresented to HospitalA check for $84,500, the proceeds of

the 1969 University Hospital AntiquesShow, has been given to the UniversityHospital to pay for constructing andequipping the new 5-bed Unit RespirationIntensive Care Unit which opened lastMarch. The sum represents a $9,500 gainover last year's record Antiques Show pro-ceeds of $75,000.The Respiratory Unit was designed to

serve the needs of patients with respiratoryfailure who require mechanical assistanceto breathe; to train personnel from thisand other hospitals in respiratory care; andto carry on clinical investigation whichwill help improve such care.Among the special features of the Unit,

which is the first of its kind in the Dela-ware Valley area, is an air filtration systemthat provides constantly changing air es-sentially free of bacteria, dust and viruses;this helps reduce the possibility of anycross-infection. A closed-circuit TV hook-up between the Unit's conference roomand patient beds permits clinical teachingwithout disturbing patients and also per-mits family and friends to see the patientsmore often than they might otherwise.
