Class standings
no longer reported
Work on Project Spice Rack,
cause of a maelstrom of protest in the last two years, ended on September 1.
The U.S. Air Force, contractors for the germ warfare research projects allowed
Spice Rack to lapse on that
date.
Project Summit had been in its
terminal stages since June, but
the University and the Air Force
had agreed to extend Spice Rack
until March, 1969.
FOLLOWED NEGOTIATIONS
Through negotiations between
the Air Force and the University, however, a special amendment to the Spice Rack contract
was added during the summer
which allowed the agreement
to end September 1.
The University action to terminate Spice Rack came as the
result of a Board of Trustees
meeting last May at which the
Trustees directed President
Ham well to divest the University of the contracts "as soon
as practicable."
100 SLEEP-IN
At that time, over 100 students slept-in at the President's
office in College Had to protest
the University's involvement in
germ warfare research.
In a related development. Dr.
John N. Hobstetter, former director of the Laboratory for Research into the Structure of
Matter has been named viceprovost for research at the
University.

The University no longer reports undergraduate class standings to local draft boards.
Class standings are no longer
important for the granting of
student deferments, according
to Registrar Arthur R. Owens,
because the new selective service law eliminates class standing as a criterion for deferment.
Under the Selective Service
Act of 1967, Owens said, a
student must submit only proof
of his enrollment in an institution of higher education to
qualify for a student deferment.
In another development on the
draft, male students registering
last week were given a choice
heretofore unavailable persuant
to draft reporting.
In the past, students could request the Registrar to report
their enrollment and class
standing to their draft board;
there was no chance to report

STUDENTS LISTEN to Dan Finnerty, a speaker at yesterday's rally in Houston Hall Plaza. During the rally, petitions were circulated advocating refusal to serve in the armed forces during the war in Vietnam. (Photo by Paul Blumenthal).
Undergraduates hold ten votes
Thirty-five University students have signed a "We Won*
Go" petition stating their refusal to enter "military service while the United States is
fighting in Vietnam."
The students signed the petition during and after an antidraft rally in Houston Hall Plaza
yesterday morning.
"We, the undersigned," the
petition reads, "as American
men of draft age, may be asked
by our government to participate
in the war in Vietnam. We have
examined the history and the nature of this war, and have reached the conclusion that our participation in it would be contrary to the dictates of our
consciences."
"We therefore declare," the
statement continues, "our determination to refuse military
service while the United States
is fighting in Vietnam. Our intention in signing this statement is
to unite with other draft-age men
who share our convictions, in order to turn our personal moral
rejection of this war into effective political opposition to
it."

"There is no place on this
campus for any hazing," Robinson said, "but we hope the
fraternities will evolve a complete plan and then present it to
us for review. We'd like to see
them take up the responsibility for getting a solution for
these problems."
He also said be plans to
meet next week with Frederick
Kempin, vice-dean of the Wharton School, who is heading the
Ad Hoc Committee on Fraternity Hazing.
Kempin said yesterday the
committee will move into high
gear in the next few weeks and
that they will present their findings to Vice- Provost A. Leo Levin as soon as possible.
Student Government Assembly Speaker James Rosenberg
also called on the Interfraternity
Council to reform its practices.
"The Administration must have
known about the hazing practices that were going on last
semester," Rosenberg said.
"However, they are playing a
hands-off policy. If die fraternities want this policy to continue they're going to have to
clean up their practices,"

Provost for Student Affairs A,
Leo Levin.
The composition of the committee will be changed from five
students, five faculty, and five
administration members to include five more students.
The members of the committee will be nominated by the
Steering Committee, of the University Council on September
27. The student members will
be appointed by the student government, subject to approval by
the Deans of Men and Women
and the Steering Committee.
The new plan was worked out
after several months of discussion between the Administration
and student leaders. Levin said
that the new plan was just another
example of the steady increase
in student involvement In University affairs. "We have been
seeing, continually more responsible and involved student body
and we are happy to see the direction it has been moving in,"
he said.
NEW APPOINTMENTS
Several
new appointments
have been made in the student
affairs area. Dean of Women
Alice Emerson has been appointed Assistant Vice-Provost,
replacing Robert Eilers, who is
returning to a position in the
Wharton School. Emerson, who
retains her position as Dean,
described the post as the "eyes
and ears of the student affairs
office."
Levin spoke of the two new
Special Assistants to the ViceProvost, Drs. Robert Bamberg
and Joel Conarroe. "We basically want a two-pronged program. First we are locking for
a more meaningful faculty-student relationship and secondly
we want students to learn more
about, and better use, the many
fine activities the city of Phila-
delphia has to offer them. In
is in these two fields that the Special Assistants will be doing
much of their work," he said.
Both Emerson and Acting
Dean of Men Gerald Robinson
will be members of the Committee on Residence Operations. Emerson said it was the
job of CRO to determine the outer limits of the regulations and
that the administrative details
should be worked out inside those
guidelines. She cited the new
rules about freshmen women as
an example of the progress made
by CRO in the last year. (First

The.petition forms are headed
with the "We Won't Go" slogan.
Another petition was circulated which terms the Vietnam
war "unjust and immoral" and
states that "no young men should
be forced to participate in such
a war."
This petition garnered 54 signatures.
At the rally, a speaker told
the crowd of 200 that University students should form a union
to resist the draft.

the Philadelphia Anti-Draft Union, said, "We're not going to

Scarce housing forces use
of YMCA as residence hall
Five sophomores lived for the
last week in the Philadelphia
YMCA because of the lack of
housing in the University area.
However, the students are no*
all in the men's dormitories
or apartments, according to Edwin Ledwell, newly-appointed
director of residence.
Acting Dean of Men Gerald
Robinson - who was Ledwell's
predecessor - said that these
students were those who did not
participate in room draw last
spring and planned to get apartments upon their return to campus.
"They got themselves caught
in this bind because of the tight
situation in bousing," he said.
"However, we have been able
to provide places for them,
even though they had said they
didn't want to live in the dorms."
Ledwell said that unless something completely unexpected
happens, sophomores will again
be allowed to leave the dorms
and get apartments next spring.
"I can see no other solution
to the housing problem currently facing us. However we
are all aware and concerned
of need for morehousingandthe
problem is being studied right
now," he said.
Ledwell said that the renovation of Morris Dormitory would
begin in the next two weeks and
that the completion date for the
project was still January 1968.
He said the Trustees had approved the renovation of at least
four other dormitories next
year, including Bodine Dormitory.
The cost of renovating Morris is now estimated at $275,000.
The Trustees originally allocated $175,000 and the additional money is being donated by
the Class of 1943 as its 25th
Reunion Gift.

Living, learning to merge
Draft protest
By ELLEN GOREN
The long-awaited integration
of academics and dormitory
living is finally seeing hope
of realization mis year.
A pilot counseling program
for residents of four freshman
men's dormitories and the opening of the Redstone and Brownstone housekeeping units for
women are offering students an
opportunity to relate their academic interests with their dayto-day living.
Under the pilot plan, all the
residents of a dormitory unit
will be assigned the same academic advisers. This is a switch
from the previous method, under which there often were as
many different advisers as students per dorm.
The rr .Jor advantage of the
plan, according to Dr. Roger
Walmsley, director of the General Honors program and innovator of the counseling plan
is mat dorm counselors and advisers will get to know each
other and will be able to work
together more easily.
In describing the faculty role,
Walmsley commented, "He can
offer, as a more mature person in academia, help for a student in deciding what curriculum he can put together to
meet educational and vocational
goals. He can provide a unique
and subtle insight."
If successful, the program
might be implemented on a
class-wide basis for the Class
of 1972.
Redstone and Brownstone
Halls, although different in their
emphasis, are providing their
women with this same academic-social relationship.
The 36 women in these two
houses, at 42nd and Spruce Sts.
are grouped according to the
area of their general academic
interest.
The principle underlying the
project,
as noted by Dean
of Women Alice Emerson at the
announcement of the dorms*
opening, is "the notion that the
quality of the educational experience may be greatly enhanced by utilizing opportunities available in residence
halls to bridge the gap between
what goes on in the life of the
student."
This year Mrs. Emerson observed that in spite of the similarities between the freshman
pilot plan and the women's residences, the orientation of die
two projects still differs. The
men's program will aid its students in selecting their future
areas of interest, while grouped in Redstone and Brownstone
have already decided their major plans.
However desirable it may be
to house students in this manner, further developments must
wait until the new projects have
been evaluated, according to
the dean.

Ross calls for new
community of students
(Continued from Page 1)
Instead, he urged, "We must
circulate and sign *We Won't
Go' petitions" to demonstrate
to President Johnson the war
in Vietnam is "immoral."
The rally which started shortly after 11 A.M. and lasted until noon, was sponsored by Students for a Democratic Society
(SDS) and Elle's group.
"We shall develop a new form of student community: A selfregulating student community," the chairman of the philosophy
department told 1700 entering freshman last week.
Dr. James F. Ross, associate professdr and chairman of
philosophy, also called for a revitalizarion of the life and status
of undergraduates in his Opening Exercises address.
"I do not want to hand over to student experiment the vital
educational function which identifies the university," said Ross,
* 'but we should hand over enough
important power and responsibility to create a genuine undergraduate society, and one
that has an identifiable lifestyle, with esprit-de-corps and
lifelong loyalty."
Jonathan Goldstein, another
rally speaker, said the "reason for these petitions is that
we won't fight in a genocidal
Arar.'' Goldstein claimed that the
U.S. was using "the Lazy Dog
bomb" In Vietnam. This bomb,
he
alleged, contains 10,000
pieces of razor blades that could

expansion
only be used for killing and
Ross said that two premises
maiming people. He said this
charge supported his allegation
of "genocide."
Bob Brand (Col. '67) now in his
first year of graduate work,
told the group that Americans
should be allowed "freedom
of conscience" to decide whether
to fight in Vietnam."
After a spectator asked Brand
to differentiate "between a conscientious
objector and a
coward," the speaker said it
wasn't important to distinguish
between them.
Brand also charged the U.S.
government does not recognize
as valid the Christian concept
of a "just war."
Dan Finnerty, (Col. '67) who
also spoke, called the recent
Vietnamese elections "a farce."
Finnerty, now in Pennsylvania's graduate school, asked,
"Is this the democracy we're
fighting for in Vietnam ?"
must be recognized before a student community can be realized.
First, he said, the belief that
the University stands in loco
parentis must be dismissed.
"That," said Ross, "means
the student community should
have its own mores, its own
ethics and its own sanctions;
mat is what we expect of any
professional group."Thefaculty and administration, he added, should not be thought of as
"symbolic parents who must be
flaunted, flattered, fooled or
forced into a change."
Second, he advocated, the "exaggerated moral individualism
which supposes that some student practices are not subject to
community regulation" must be
discarded. All the students' actions are best considered as in
regard to other members of the
community.

is really going on."
The University's most urgent
unmet need is additional student housing, President Gaylord Harnwell declared at Opening Exercises last Wednesday.
Speaking before a large crowd
in Irvine Auditorium, Harnwell
described the progress Pennsylvania is making in Its construction program. Six buildings will open this year, including the Dietrich Graduate
Library Center, the Gimbel
Gymnasium, the Fine Arts Building, the Hollenback Athletic Center, the Physical Sciences expansion, and the Franklin Building (General Services and Administration).
Harnwell said the over $60
million already collected in the
University's $93 million Development Plan would be used in
the construction of ten buildings
in the coming year. He cited the
Araienberg Center for the Performing Arts, the new Social Sciences Center, the Freshman
Dining Commons, the Humanities Building, and other planned
facilities as examples of the
progress the University is making.
He also invited student opinion on the upcoming renovation
of the Men's Dormitories, a $5
million project scheduled to
start next week with the renovation of Morris Dormitory.

Twilight time
At the conclusion of the recent spring
term, this newspaper published an editorial that reportedly elicited somewhat
severe reactions, both pro and con, from
Its readership. Contending that President
Harnwell had not kept pace with the problems
of a changing university, the editorial
suggested that he consider retiring. It
is our belief that the contention still holds.
Following is a reprint of that editorial
with some further reflections appended.
*****
Dr. Caylord P. Harnwell — distinguished professor of physics and, since 1953,
president of the University — is an old
man.
We do not intend this remark to be derogatory: Harnwell
has led the University
through 14 years of growth and improvement unequalled in the University's 227year history.
But Harnwell is 63 years old now, and
will be 64 late in September. He is facing problems today that he probably didn't
believe could exist when he assumed the
presidency. Students and faculty are demanding a greater voice in policy decisions. The University has become entangled
beyond any 1953 projections in the labyrinthine machinery of the Federal government
through research contracts. And the entire
field of higher education has expanded
at such a rate that the University has been
hard pressed to meet rising application
rates and increased construction costs
simply to stay abreast of the expansion.
The University's predicament today is
quite different than It was 14 years ago,
when it was a question of cultivating sources
of revenue and undertaking studies into
what the University could do if it bad more
money. The goals were fairly clear then:
growth and improvement within the current
concept of what then constituted a good University.
But the concept has been modified by
pressures from students, faculty and the
government, and by the proliferation of
higher education in general.
Harnwell has adapted remarkably well
to these pressures. The University has made
gains in nearly every category in which universities are judged, despite these pressures.
But the rimes show signs of overcoming Harnwell's rate of adaption. The twoyear-old ICR controversy has grown nearly
out of hand. There is considerable evidence in the form of Harnwell's remarks
to ICR protesters that the President is failing to communicate with his faculty and
his student body. This failure may be due
as much to his lack of understanding as
to his opponents' stubbornness. In any
case, he has not foreseen the dimensions
that the issue would take.
Harnwell has disappointed many undergraduates by appearing to remain remote
and uninterested in their desire for academic reform for sophisticated social rule
reform and for better undergraduate facilities.
Harnwell's success as a fund-raiser
and image booster may have forced him to
concentrate on what he does well rather
than on what students wish be would do.
He is definitely not of their generation.
In fact, in the lingo of newsmagazines,
he has allowed a "generation gap" to
arise on this campus.
It is for these reasons that we suggest
to Dr. Harnwell that he think about step-
ping aside in the near future for a younger man, a man who is a little closer In
years and outlook to the students for which
the University exists.
The University has firmly established
itself financially. Although the $93 million
Development Ran is now limping a little,
the University now has the fund-raising apparatus necessary to accomplish almost
any president's aims.
President Harnwell deserves the admiration of the Trustees and of every member
of the University community for what he
has accomplished in his 14 years. It is now
for the Trustees to consider the new directions that higher education have taken,
tne new territories that have been opened,
and the changes in leadership that may
be necessary to keep the University on its
current climb to prominence and excellence.
*****
The University still needs an Infusion
of young blood at the top. Although the controversy over chemical and biological warfare research here has apparently been
satisfactorily resolved, the lesson of the
crisis is still with us. An entrenched, somewhat befuddled administration persisted in
dealing in evasions, half-truths, and blatant
lies for a period of almost a year. No matter what the subject matter of the deceit,
the fact of Its use is damnable in and of itself.
Other equally discomforting issues confront the University, issues that could be
handled most effectively by a vigorous and
straightforward president. A new, young
administration should begin immediately a
long overdue re-evaluation of the role of the
student In the University. As Dr. James
Ross said in bis Opening Exercises address, the concept of "in loco parentis"
is outmoded and ill-suited to the contemporary university scene. The student and
the student body must be delegated an
unprecedented amount of power in the
conduct of their own affairs. With that
delegation of authority must come a corresponding delegation of responsibility, so
that, while the student becomes sole author of his actions, he alone stands responsible for the consequences of those
actions.
While the University reassesses the role
of students within, it must also look again
at its own Institutional role from without.
The core of last year's chemical and
biological warfare research crisis was the
difference in opinion among students, scholars, and administrators over the role of
the university in society. That role, at least
for this institution, must be clarified.
This community of scholars and their
apprentices must re-examine and redefine
the part it wants to play in society and
should opt for becoming a repository of
ideas and ideals rather than for remaining a development laboratory for emotionless politicians.
There aren't many young, brilliant, exciting, competent, humanitarian men or women
in this country capable of administering the
University of Pennsylvania. A national news
magazine has written that more than 300
institutions of higher learning are currently searching for presidents. Finding the
right man takes years. The outgoing president of the University of Chicago served two
years notice of his retirement to enable the
trustees there to find the right successor.
President Harnwell could well do the same.

WHAT ARE THE VISITING HOURS FOR WOMEN?
Letters to the editor
BOMB, GUN AND PiLL
Editor, The Daily Pennsylvanian:
I, a member of the College for Women,
and a junior at Penn, feel that among the
grosser injustices here Is the DORMITORY
SYSTEM. It is time that someone said something about the state of the women's regulations. Last year, in righteous indignation,
I agreed with the complaints of the men's
dormitory Inmates about their regulations.
But look at ours: We have to fill out forms
Just to leave after twelve midnight or on
weekends, we are absolutely not allowed to
sign out to the homes of single males, overnight and, to top it off, we have to live under
this tyranny until we are seniors. What is
more. If we decide we are rich enough to
let our parents pay for our room while
we slip off and live with friends, we discover a new law not in the women's regulation book.
We may not sign out for more than
half the semester - under penalty of disciplinary action and perhaps expulsion. So
those of us desiring escape are forced
to sneak around, get kicked out, or BEAR IT.
And this last thing has been the course
most of us have taken.
Why must we, for no other reason except
that we are women, have no choice in where
or how we want to live. I, at twenty, am two
years older than men who are drafted, and
one year younger than people who vote. And
yet, I am treated no better than a child,
needing a curb on her daily and nightly desires.
Am 1 not as mature as my male counter
parts7 They have no sign outs and may leave
the dorm after their sophomore year. I
am told that because of shortage In housing and ideas of student unity, students are
made to live in the dorms. However, this
does not account for the fact that we must
sign out while men do not and the fact
that we must live an extra year in the dorms.
I have heard the our women's regulation
are more liberal than those at other colleges.
But does this make them good or fair?
This doesn't make dormitory life any easier
for me or many others. I am not asking
for abolition of the dormitories - this is
another situation. I am Just asking for the
abolition of the unfair double standard. The
university must get into its red-bricked
head that we are living in the era of the
bomb, the tear gas gun. and THE PILL I

Editor, The Daily Pennsylvanian!
I think it is disgraceful for a college
newspaper to behave in the manner that The
Daily Pennsylvanian does sometimes. The
editorial board does not represent the majority opiruon on campus. However, people
not affiliated with the University who read
The Daily Pennsylvanian take the views
presented as those of a large sector of the
students. Such a malicious editorial as was
In the campus paper on Friday, April 28,
1967, was absolutely uncalled for. In fact
your behavior was childish: you made an unjustified and irresponsible suggestion that
Dr. G. P. Harnwell resign his position,
and then you suspended publication of The
Daily Pennsylvanian until autumn. Such behavior is degrading to the University and
disheartening to its students. Your actions
speak louder than your words and you do
not advocate free speech when you do not
even let other views be heard on the
subject.

Asked why he left the Storrs

Campus Commentary.
Penn and the Pepsi
James J. Restivo
Features Editor
Pity the poor freshman. The absurdies of a
new academic year, which the sophisticated
upperclassman has learned to take in stride,
torment and confuse the staunchest of Penn
yearlings. The beaucratic vexations which
the University takes for granted - the rigors
of registration, the drudgery of drop-andadd, the agony of searching for non-existent
required reading material - leave the newcomer bom bewildered and defeated. But
even more more depressingly overpowering
is the CULTURAL SHOCK of entering the
upside-down world of 1968 university life.
For a generation of students nurtured and
educated by television, the true picture of
• campus life has never been witness. Forget
the world of the "Pepsi generation." Throw
away these Playboy ads. They no longer
exist. The crew-cut Jock in the clean-cut
clothes is extinct. The Pepsi generation has
been replaced by the "flower-power" children. Potato chips have been discarded for
poppy seeds. And an apple for the prof can not
hold its own against a bunch of ripe bananas#

THE NEW BREED
Forget your oldheros: Mickey Mantle, James
Bond, John Kennedy. They have been superceded by greater personnages: TimothyLeary,
Allen Ginsburg, Staughton Lynd. Even Esquire, the "magazine for men," will tell you
that ". . . the football captain is finished as
the local hero, replaced in the hearts of your
classmates by the campus hippie who sells
marijauna . . . anarchy reigns: restrictions,
requirements, rules are all going up in banana smoke."
And freshman, naive and innocent as you are,
fear not. You WILL be educated. Anyone with
the mental capacity to gain acceptance to an
Ivy League university will soon discover that
his values and ideas are outmoded and obsolete. What you have mistaken for religion
is merely superstition. For patriotism, ignorance. For obedience, innocence. For love,
naivete.
To be IN is the thing, and you must learn
the rules of the game before winning campus
success. It is IN to be a non-conformist. It
is OUT to refuse to conform to non-conformity. It is IN to be anti-Vietnam, anti-Johnson, anti-administration, anti-apple pie-andmother. And by all means it is OUT to be a
neutral, moderate, or even apathetic student.
So freshmen, go out there and get ahead.
Use those sugar cubes in your cakes, eat plenty of bananas, plant poppy seeds where ivy
once grew. Sing out for student rights, carry
those picket signs. Throw your razer blades
and castigate your local barber. But, be charitable in your glorious moments. Do not forget
your humble beginnings which have not passed
to dust—the Pepsi generation.

Penn Comment's first issue of the semester
was perhaps their best effort since the publication's inception four years ago - chiefly
because of the "expose" on the Penn Nursing
SchooL This problem has been prevalent on
campus for many years, yet nothing has ever
been done to alleviate the situation. It seems
that the three-year nursing students come un*
der the jurisdiction of the University Hospital
pres, Virginia, the same one that is responsible
for Student Health) and are hence unapproachable by any responsible student groups. In
addition, the nurses'own student Council meetings are little more than rubber stamp approvals of such far-reaching programs as selling
Christmas cards to finance the yearbook.
ELUSIVE SOLUTION
Penn Comment catagorized many abuses
prevalent in the Nursing program such as
monthly * Veigh-ins." Many more can be listed. For example, social privileges can be lifted for such grave abuses as forgetting to
hand in a dental or medical check-up slip,
or tardiness to classes.
The solution to the problems of the nursing
program is an elusive one. The nurses are incapable of sponsoring their own ceforms due
to archaic restrictions and threats. University
discontent has no outlet to the Hospital administrators. But something has to be done.
The question remains: Who will do it, and
what?
* * •
Another publication came out this week,
also. Veritas, a conservative newspaper on the
Penn campus, has the potential for being the
vocal organ of responsible conservative opinion
at the University. But, if the first Issue of the
semester is any indication, the Journal will
never gain acceptance. For its editors have not
discovered the difference between responsible Journalism and inflated propaganda.
An advertising campaign based upon an attack upon another school publication indicates
that the editors have not yet found a product
they can promote on its own merits. The
Daily Pennsylvanian prints both facts and opinions, and does not attempt to pass one off for
the other. And Veritas knows it. It is unfortunate that a publication designed for a conservative public would fall into the same
error that many of today's liberals find themselves: inability to respect the other side's
view simply because it is the other side.

Lightweights annex
Jope Cup, frosh 150s
win Eastern Sprints
In 1965, the Pennsylvania varsity lightweight crew failed to
win a race.
It was the Penn freshmen,
however, who drew the most
attention.
In 1967, just two years later,
coach Fred Leonard's varsity
oarsmen capped as swift a rebuilding program as ever seen
in collegiate rowing, finishing
a solid second to Cornell's Henley championship shell in the
May 13 Eastern sprint rowing
championships.
Having to come from behind
the first time in their careers,
the yearlings splashed past Cornell by 3/4 of a length for the
lone Red-and-Blue championship of the day.
The bridesmaid finish by the
Quaker eight, which lost but
two oarsmen to graduation, enabled it to cut two seconds off
the Big Red regular season margin of victory and to gain revenge from Princeton, which
finished a length to the rear
of the Red-and-Blue.
The victory won the frosh
shell a niche in Pennsylvania
150 pound rowing history; no
other crew had ever finished
the regular season undefeated
and men gone on to win an Eastern Spring championship.
"It was a real tribute to the
boys," remarked coach Leonard
who hardly figured upon Penn
coming within four seconds of
the undefeated Cornell Oarsmen, who averaged three inches
taller per man than their Quaker counterparts.
But kindling an equal amount
of pride in coach Leonard's
once-frustrated heart were the
finals of the junior varsity anJ
freshman events over the Worcester, Massachusetts, Lake
Quinsagamond course.
J. V. FINISHES SECOND
The Quaker JVs, known for
their closing sprints, catapulted from fourth to second in the
final ten strokes of the 2000
meter race, edging MIT and
Cornell in the blanket finish.
Bowlers seek
varsity status
Pennsylvania's Bowling Club,
aspiring to varsity status next
year, will begin its fifth season
of competition in the Delaware
Valley Division of the Eastern
Intercollegiate Bowling League
next month.
Penn has finished first twice
in the League and last season
placed third out of six competing schools, which include Villanova, Drexel, PMC, Temple,
and Rutgers of South Jersey.
This season will be the first
in which the squad will be university financed.
The eight-man team has only
three returning veterans, cocaptains Steve Gootzeit and Dick
Lury, and Al Alderman. The
five open spots will be filled at
the tryouts which will be held on
September 19 and 20 at 3 p.m.
at the William Penn Lanes at
3619 Walnut Street.
Regular season action does
not begin until the month of
October and lasts through AprlL
UNBEATEN FROSH
The Eastern Springs are the
national championships of lightweight rowing, and the Penn
Freshmen, who were coached by
Jack Barclay, had themselves
a national crown.

in the lightweight national championships— seemed reward in
itself, but there was also a

In the team trophy competition, the Penn performances
added up to 34 points, one
more than Cornell, and the Jope

Pennsylvania's for the first time.

Quaker heavyweight crew captures
IRA crown, keeps Ten Eyck Trophy
By BOB SAVETT
Climaxing an afternoon of racing on Syracuse's Lake Onandaga, June 17, the Pennsylvania
varsity heavyweight oarsmen
sped to the winner's circle of
the Intercollegiate Rowing Association regatta and with the
victory came the Varsity Challenge Cup, symbolic of national
collegiate supremacy.
It had been a full 67 years
since predecessors of the 1967
Penn crew had had their mark
carved on the cup. And the new
triumph was as impressive as
it had been elusive.
Taking the lead at the mile
mark, Joe Burk's crew steadily
outdistanced its competition, and
at the finish only one crewdefending champion Wisconsin
—was within 15 seconds of the
Quakers.
Regular season victims Cornell, Princeton and Navy led
the rest of the pack to the
finish of the 3-mile course.
Earlier in the day, the Penn
freshmen had stroked their way
to victory and the JVs had turned in a bridesmaid finish.

First non-alum heads Penn athletics
as U Conn's Fred Shabel is appointed
by Lorry Krohn
Sports Editor
Dr. Harry Fields, assistant
to the president for athletic affairs, announced on May 31 the
appointment of Fred A. Shabel
as Penn's new director of athletics.
The announcement, made at a
press conference in the William
White Training House, climaxed
two months of searching by an
eleven man committee to find a
replacement for Jeremiah Ford,
who was dismissed from the post
on March 30.
Fields Indicated that Shabel's
contract would be for three
years, but he refused to comment on the amount of Shabel'a
salary, revealing only that "we
fix the salary to suit the man,
rather than setting it by the
position."
in a young man to help us build
the program and develop it. We
thought it more advisable to accept a young vibrant, individual
than one with perhaps more experience but set ideas."
Asked to describe his conception of the athletic director's
SPRING FOOTBALL
FIRST NON-ALUMNUS
Shabel, who officially took
over on July 1, is the first
non-alumnus to serve as athletic director. Fields explained,
"We are looking for what we
felt was the best man for the
job. We would like to have a
graduate of the University of
Pennsylvania come in for the
job, but we just couldn't find
that type of man. We feel the
man we chose is superior."
Shabel is 35 years old and as
Fields indicated. "We brought
director of athletics."
Shabel commented on a number
of important issues and problems he would be facing in the
years ahead.
On recruiting: "I don't see
why our recruiting program
can't build to a point where it
can compete favorabbly with the
other Ivy schools."
On relations with alumni; "I
would hope we could have a very
warm relationship. I don't think
an athletic director should think
in any other terms."
On relations with Dr. Fields:
"Like any administrative member of any institution, I will
maintain contact with the
president's office."
On "big-time" athletic policies: "I'm obligated to work
within the framework of the Ivy
League."
Fred A. Shabel
duties, Shabel told the press,
•'I will direct the athletic department of the University, I
will formulate all the policies
we might make reference to.
My basic job will consist of
dealing in people, in programs,
salaries, scheduling, maintenance— all of these relate to the
On slush funds; "There is a
danger if alumni groups are
allowed to fool around with gifts,
etc., not controlled by the University." And on spring football
practice: "I'm in favor of it."
Shabel comes to Penn from
the University of Connecticut
where he served as head basketball coach for four seasons.
He retired as a coach at the end
of last season and was serving
as assistant director of athle'Contlnued on Page 5)
ances, the varsity first was
more than sufficient to give the
Penn crews possession, for the
second consecutive year, of the
Ten Eyck Trophy, symbolic of
intercollegiate team supremacy.
In the yearling event over the
shorter, 2-mile course, the Quakers waited until a half-mile
from the finish to make their
move, then overtook Rutgers
with a stretch drive which had
the Red-And-Blue 3/4 lengths
ahead at the pole.
NASH WINS AGAIN
Thus, for the second straight
season, Penn frosh coach Ted
Nash had taken a new team and
had trained and moulded it into
the nation's finest frosh contingent. Nash's previous championship had broken a string of
42 winless seasons for the Redand-Blue in I.R.A. competition.
But, the feast of victory after
all the years of famine has not
yet reached the Quaker JVs—
which, under the circumstances,
is fully ironic.
1967 seemed to be the year
for the JV title. Experts picking the LR.A. had the JVs (consisting of the bulk of the 1966
frosh champions) the most likely
Penn winner of all; they were
the lone unanimous favorite.
The Quaker JV eight entered
the I.R.A. with an undefeated
slate, including Penn's lone win
in the May 13 Eastern Springs
— and the JVs were in the lead
by 2-1/2 lengths when the race
was two-thirds over.
RAIN STOPS JV.
A sudden downpour erupted,
however, and the wind and waves
temporarily halted their forward progress. Navy, beaten
thrice previously by the Quakers, veered from the fourth
lane to the sheltered inside
lane and
gained first-place
honors.
The Naval Victory— which
caused several Penn oarsmen
to lose for the first time in
their lives— deprived the Redand-Blue crews of coaches Burk
and Nash of an incredible sweep
of all three national rowing
titles.
