Freshmen View Selves, ObjectivesThe typical Pennsylvania freshman is

an 18-year-old white male from the Mid-dle Atlantic States. His average gradein high school was a or better, hewas probably president of a student or-ganization, he had won a varsity sportsletter, he had been a member of the scho-lastic honor society and he had earnedNational Merit recognition.

Such was the description derived fromthe responses of over 1,400 University ofPennsylvania freshmen (out of a classof 1,700) to a questionnaire distributedlast year by the American Council on

Education's office of research. The ques-tionnaire, given to 185,848 enteringfreshmen at 252 colleges and universities,is part of a continuing study of collegestudents and the impact of college ontheir development.The questionnaire was administered

after the freshmen had matriculated butbefore they had started their courses.

Nearly 90 percent of this year's fresh-men class selected Pennsylvania becauseof its academic reputation. Approxi-mately 45 percent were also influenced

Leo Levin ResignsAs Vice Provost

Professor A. Leo Levin is resigningas vice provost for student affairs at theUniversity of Pennsylvania effectiveJune 30, Dr. Gaylord P. Harnwell,president of the University, announcedlast month.

Levin will continue as professor oflaw, a position he has held concurrentlywith the vice-provostship.

Recommendations for his successor asvice provost will be made by a facultyconsultative committee.

Professor Levin has served as viceprovost since 1965. According to ProvostDavid R. Goddard, Professor Levincompletely reorganized and revitalizedthe office of student affairs. "His aca-demic leadership made that office an im-portant part of the educational processat Pennsylvania," explained Dr. God-dard. "His work has won the praise andsupport of the faculty, the student body,the Trustees and the University admin-istration."A member of the Law School's fac-

ulty since 1949, Professor Levin waschairman of the University Senate andvice-chairman of the University Councilprior to his appointment as vice provost.

Draft Regulations Create UncertaintyAfter several months of uncertainty,

the Johnson administration in Februaryended draft deferments for graduatestudents. The action, which becomeseffective this June, was recommended bythe National Security Council, a Federal

government policy body composed of thePresident and top-level military and ci-vilian officials.The new regulations also suspend in-

definitely the administrative basis foroccupational deferments.At the end of the academic year de-

ferments will end for students who havecompleted their graduateworkthosecorn-

Effect on Students,Schools Unpredictable

For the last few months, universityofficials have been planning the 1968-69academic year in a shadow world of un-reality. The new draft regulations haveplunged them into even darker gloom."We've made all sorts of efforts to

predict the effects," said Dr. Michael

Jameson, dean of the Graduate Schoolof Arts and Sciences, "but the basic de-cisions rest with the local draft boards."He said the "great weakness" of the

new regulations is the uncertainty theywill create for students and schools.Not all graduate students will be

drafted; therefore a student will haveno way of knowing whether he will be

permitted to continue his studies untilthe draft board makes a decision in hiscase. Dean Jameson is afraid this maydiscourage some from entering.

"Such a student may never actually betaken into service," he explained, "buthe will waste a lot of time and moneyhanging around."He predicted that graduate school en-

rollment would be down next semester,"but how much of it will be due to the

pleting their first year of graduate studyand those receiving advanced degrees.

Graduate students in medicine anddentistry and those in allied fields ofosteopathy, optometry and veterinarymedicine will continue to be deferred.(About 50 percent of these students willeventually be inducted through the spe-cial doctors' draft.)Other graduate students who had com-

pleted a year of graduate study by lastOctober 1 toward a doctoral or equiva-lent professional degree, or a combina-tion of master's and doctoral degrees,will continue to be deferred for a total offive years, including any year of graduatestudy prior to October 1, 1967.

Despite the suspension of the lists ofcritical occupations and essential activi-ties, the nation's draft boards will retainwide discretionary powers to continuesuch deferments to avoid hardships fortheir communities.The Administration left unchanged

THE ALMANAC

Research Center Set UpTo Study Taste, SmellThe Ambrose Monell Foundation has

announced a grant of $1 million to theUniversity to establish and support aninterdisciplinary research center whichwill undertake studies of the sense oftaste and the sense of smell.The new facility, to be known as the

i\Ionell Chemical Senses Research Cen-ter, will be located in a building to beconstructed at 3406 Market Street bythe Science Institute, a subsidiary of theUniversity City Science Center.The Monell Foundation grant will

provide $500,000 for construction of thenew building for the Center and$100,000 per year for five years foroperation of the Center. The ScienceInstitute will obtain from other sourcesat least $500,000 for construction of thenew building and, over a five-year per-iod, at least $1.1 million for operation.

Dr. Luther L. Terry, vice presidentfor medical affairs at the University, saidthe Center will bring together physiolo-gists, pharmacologists and biochemistswith a primary interest in the mecha-nisms and functions of olfaction andgustation. Up to now, he explained,there has been little involvement in theproblems of feeding by physiologists andbiochemists.They will study receptor-chemical in-

teraction; mechanisms responsible fordifferential chemo-sensitivity; coding,editing, and transmission of chemicalinformation in the central nervous sys-tem; the influence of drugs and geneticfactors in chemical perception; and theinfluences of the chemical senses on be-havior.

Dr. Terry said that during the Cen-ter's first five years, research projectswill probably fall in three areas:The role of the chemical senses in

monitoring and metering food andfluid intake (Such studies could extendto obesity, specific hunger, and the de-clining sensory capacities and appetite ofthe aged)

Studies of olfaction, including analy-sis of single-unit activity in the olfactorysystem and comparison of the responsesof different nerves to odor stimulation;The function of the chemical senses

in digestion and utilization of nutrients,with emphasis on the effects of taste andsmell on the activity and chemical secre-tions of the digestive tract.

Scholarship HonorsHiram S. Lukens

Friends, associates, and former stu-dents have donated $50,000 to establishthe Hiram S. Lukens Memorial Scholar-ship Fund in recognition of the distin-guished professor of chemistry whotaught at Pennsylvania for 46 years.

Income from the fund will provide atuition scholarship for a senior enrolledin the honors program in chemistry.

Dr. Lukens, a native of Philadelphia,received both his B.S. degree and hisPh.D. degree from the University ofPennsylvania. He joined the Universityfaculty in 1907, was appointed directorof the Department of Chemistry andChemical Engineering in 1932, and wasnamed I3lanchard Professor of Chemis-try in 1937. He retired from the Uni-versity in 1953 and died six years later.

1) r. Lukens was active in electrochem-istry and analytical chemistry and heldmore than a score of patents.

Geology Dept. UndertakesSalvage Field WorkThe Department of Geology at the

University has entered into a contractwith the National Park Service to under-take paleontological salvage field workin Carbon County, Pennsylvania. Thisarea will be flooded when the proposedBeltzville Reservoir is completed.Graduate students in the Department

will make comprehensive collections aswell as field surveys, and will prepare amonographic report for the Park Service.In addition, a collection of fossils of thislocality will be assembled at the Uni-versity and made available to the public.

Fine antiques from Philadelphia's co-lonial period will be on display at theSeventh Annual University Hospital An-tiques Show, from April 23 throughApril 27 at the 103rd Engineers' Armory,32nd and Lancaster Ave.The show is held for the benefit of the

Hospital of the University of Pennsyl-vania by the Hospital's Board of WomenVisitors. More than 50 leading EastCoast antiques dealers will have boothsdisplaying antiques for sale.

In addition, a collection of furniture,paintings, porcelain, and silver belongingto members of the Wharton family ofPhiladelphia will be on display in a re-creation of a drawing room from "Wal-nut Grove," the colonial mansion ofJoseph Wharton.

Visitors to the show may make ad-vance reservations for several specialevents. The first is the Preview Din-ner on Monday evening (April 22)prior to the show's official opening.Wednesday evening, an illustrated lec-

ture on "Early American Masterpiecesin the Bayou Bend Collection" will be

given by David Warren, curator of"Bayou Bend," Houston, Texas. Thelecture will begin at 10:30 a.m. at theDrexel Institute Activities Center, 3210Chestnut St., and chartered buses willtransport the audience to the show after-wards. The $5.00 charge for the lectureincludes admission to the show on thatdate.

Modestly priced items from variousdealers at the show will be assembled ina "Boutique" for novice antique enthu-siasts as a feature of Young Collectors'Evening, to be held April 25. The $7.50charge includes admission and supper atthe show, from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m.

This year, the Old Philadelphia BusTours will again go to the Society Hillarea of the city for visits to four privatehomes restored to their original colonial

elegance by their owners. The tours,conducted by specially trained guides,will begin at 10:15 a.m. on April 25 and26. The $5.00 charge includes admissionto the show.

Interim Standards,Disciplinary ProceduresProvided for Graduates

Standards and procedures concerningoffenses growing out of demonstrationson campus were adopted last month bythe University Council. They will be ineffect only until permanent standardsand procedures are established followingthe report of the Commission on OpenExpression and Demonstrations onCampus.The Council adopted the statement

"On the Exercise of Free Speech andLawful Assembly" which has been usedby the administration as a guideline ofUniversity policy in these matters. Adop-tion of this guideline is not intended topreclude appropriate use of administra-tive discretion in specific situations.

In regard to interim procedural stan-dards, the Council adopted hearing pro-cedures from the "Joint Statement onRights and Freedoms of Students" whichhave been approved by the Council ofthe American Association of UniversityProfessors and the United States Na-tional Student Association. The State-ment is to be used as a basic set of guide-lines rather than as a strict rule.The problem of standards and pro-

cedures arose during the February meet-ing of the Council when it had decidedthat because some graduate faculties donot have any established disciplinaryprocedures, students charged withoffenses growing out of last fall's dem-onstrations would have their cases ini-tially heard and judged by the ad hocCommittee (on the Implementation ofUniversity Policy on the Exercise ofFree Speech and Lawful Assembly) un-til a permanent provision for dealingwith such matters was established.

Discussion followed concerning theUniversity's policy on demonstrations.An amendment was proposed at thattime which would have set interim stand-ards and procedures, but as there wereno specified drafts available to consider,the amendment was defeated.

In addition to the work being con-ducted by the Commission on Open Ex-pression and Demonstrations on Campus,a full-scale study of the University'sdiscipline system has been requested bythe University Council. The Committeeon Undergraduate Affairs, chaired byDr. Robert Lucid, assistant professor ofEnglish, is in charge of the survey.

Research, Special Projects SupportedTwo checks from the Damon Runyon

Memorial Fund for Cancer Research-one for $15,000 and the other for$11,000-were recently presented to theUniversity. The larger check will beused by Dr. Akira Kaji, associate pro-fessor of microbiology, to investigate theprotein synthesis mechanism, while thesmaller check will be used by Dr. JeromeI. Brody, associate professor of medicine,for research on the role of the leukemiclymphocyte in immunogenesis.The Runyon Fund, organized by

Walter 'Winchell, is composed primarilyof newspaper and show business person-alities. All monies contributed are usedfor cancer research.

Education School To HoldInstitutes on "Multimedia"Two Institutes in Educational Media

will be given this summer by the Univer-sity's Graduate School of Education tobring Delaware Valley teachers up-to-date on "multimedia"-the use of video-tape, programmed instruction, and othercommunications techniques for the class-room.They will be offered July 1-19 and

July 22-August 9 and are backed by aU.S. Office of Education grant under theNational Defense Education Act.

Public and private school teachersenrolled will receive advanced trainingin the use and evaluation of techniquessuch as graphics, film, audiotape, TVscripts, programmed learning materials,overhead projectuals and videotape. Theywill also investigate the securing or mak-ing of materials, and the costs involved.Dr. Hugh M. Shafer, associate pro-

fessor of education at the University, isdirector of the Institutes.

by a parent or other relative, a statistic

nearly identical to the national average.However, nationally, academic reputa-tion was a concern of only 58 percent ofthe freshmen.

After completing his undergraduatestudies, nearly 81 percent of Pennsyl-vania's freshmen plan to earn either a

graduate or a professional degree, as com-

pared to a 58 percent national average.

A higher percentage of Penn students

plan to study business, followed by pre-professional studies, psychology, sociologyand anthropology, and history and polit-ical science. Nationally, freshmen weremore apt to study engineering, followed

by business and pre-professional studies.

Most Pennsylvania students thought

they would be businessmen, with other

career choices being lawyer, doctor, en-

gineer or research scientist. These five

occupations accounted for more than half

of the freshmen choices.

Nationally, students thought theywould be engineers, high school teachers

or businessmen.

Nearly all freshmen, both at Pennsyl-vania and on the national level, con-sidered the development of a philosophyof life as one of the most important goalsof a college education. They also wanted

to become an authority in their field ofwork. In addition, most students wanted

to keep up with political affairs, helpothers in difficulty, become well-off fi-

nancially and obtain recognition from

their peers.Over 59 percent of Pennsylvania

freshmen felt their beliefs were similarto others; the national average was 67

percent. A sharp contrast was indicated,however, in the value students placed on

college: Just 37.4 percent of Pennsyl-vania's freshmen felt that value to be

monetary; over 50.6 percent of the stu-dents, nationally, did.

Perhaps the most revealing part of the

questionnaire was a section in which thestudents were asked to indicate whether

they agreed or disagreed with 15 stated

opinions. Generally, the Pennsylvaniastudent and the national average were

strikingly in agreement. Among the re-sults:

" About 88 percent of the Pennsyl-vania students felt the faculty shouldestablish college curriculum although

nearly 68 percent believed faculty payshould be based on student evaluation.

" A majority disagreed that "real-istically, an individual person can dolittle to bring about changes in our so-ciety."" Most freshmen did not think col-

lege officials had the right to ban ex-tremist speakers from campus." Although most Pennsylvania fresh-

men did not think colleges were too laxon student protests, nearly half of thestudents, nationally, did. This split wasalso evident in the assertion, "studentpublications should be cleared." Nearly75 percent of the Penn students disagreedwhile only 56 percent, nationally, disa-greed.

" Over half of all the students feltthe draft age should be lowered to 18." Over 52 percent of Pennsylvania

freshmen and 44 percent nationally feltall scientific findings should be published." Only 7.8 percent of the Pennsyl-

vania students thought they would par-ticipate in demonstrations.

Archeologists FindWhat Could BeAn Enclosed HarborAn archeology team headed by Dr.

Michael H. Jameson, Dean of the Grad-uate School of Arts and Sciences, and Dr.Thomas W. Jacobsen of Indiana Uni-versity, believes it has identified an en-closed harbor at the Greek port ofHalieis.The harbor is thought to be con-

structed so that only one ship at a timecould be admitted. Up to now such de-fensive installations have been foundonly in literary references.The location of Halieis itself was

unknown until 1962 when the settlementwas rediscovered by a University teamheaded by Dr. Jameson. The city oc-cupied a strategic position at the entranceof the Gulf of Argolis on the easternmostpoint of the Peloponnesus and was foughtover in the long war between Athensand Sparta. Mud-brick fortifications maystill be seen.The harbor has sunk during the cen-

turies and the enclosure which was acontinuation of a city wall and part ofa defense system, lies submerged in up tosix feet of water.

Pipeline TechnologySubject of Symposium

Pipeline technology and its potentialuse for garbage collection and removalin the cities was the subject of a three-day international symposium last monthat the University.More than 50 scientists and engineers

from nine countries participated in thesymposium on "Solid-Liquid Flow inPipes and its Application to Solid WasteCollection and Removal." Sponsorswere the American Society of Civil En-gineers and the University of Pennsyl-vania.The speakers described work done on

the characteristics of solid-liquid mixturesin pipes, and on methods and equipmentfor grinding wastes and pumping them insealed automatic systems.

Program chairman for the conferencewas Dr. Iraj Zandi, associate professorof civil engineering at the University'sTowne School. Dr. Zandi recently con-ducted studies in Center City Philadel-phia and laboratory tests on the Pennsyl-vania campus which indicated that pipe-line collection of waste is technologicallyfeasible now and would, over a 50-yearperiod, be cheaper than the present truck-ing system.Dr. Zandi predicts that an automatic

pipeline system could be in operation inabout 15 years, or sooner if public ac-ceptance of the initial cost emerges. Hisnext goal is to conduct a study of theentire city of Philadelphia, and a parallelstudy of a community of about 15,000people, to determine economic feasibilityof pipelines for smaller towns.

As Dr. Jameson told the annual meet-ing of the Archeological Institute ofAmerica, "We have only an entrance, butto what? The exciting thing is itdoesn't make sense as a land gate. Thereare no foundations, no footings. Youdon't build a land gate that way."He recalled the story told by the

historian Herodotus of a Spartan of-ficer who captured Halieis with a singlemerchantman full of soldiers."A narrow entrance admitting one

ship at a time could explain the story,"Dr. Jameson said. "Herodotus doesn'tmention an enclosed harbor but it isimplied. How else could a single mer-chantman ship capture a town unless itis admitted into an enclosed harbor?"

Private Universities No Longer Lead in Ph.D. AwardsThe nation's private universities have

lost their leading position as pro-ducers of doctorates to the large publicinstitutions.A recent study by the National Acad-

emy of Sciences shows that from 1958to 1966, only two of the five leading pro-ducers of Ph.D.'s were private univer-sities-Harvard and Columbia-whilethe other three-Illinois, Wisconsin and

Berkeley-were public.The trend will probably continue. The

academy disclosed that for 1966 alone(the last year for which statistics areavailable) Harvard was the only pri-vate university listed among the topfive institutions. Columbia had been re-

placed by the University of Michigan.In 1920, four of the top five and 12

of the top 20 doctorate-producing institu-tions were private universities. At the

Concentrated SolutionProves Life-savingA super-concentrated high calorie in-

travenous solution, packed with specialnutrient supplements, has been developedby a University of Pennsylvania surgicalteam, and in its first series of clinicaltrials has not only proved life-saving butcaused patients to gain weight.The first report on the new nutrient

solution was published in the March 4,1968 issue of the Journal of the Ameri-can Medical Association. The researchthat led to the new solution has been

going on for several years under the di-rection of Dr. Stanley J. Dudrick, asso-ciate in surgery. He also is on the sur-gical staff at Veterans AdministrationHospital.Working with Dr. Dudrick during

the past two years is his co-author, Dr.Douglas W. Wilmore, a third year sur-gery resident at the Hospital of the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania.To date, more than 30 clinical cases

have been treated with the new intra-venous solution, most of them patientswho were not exepected to survive theirillness or injuries.The feedings have helped to keep

severely burned patients alive during thelengthy healing process and have pro-vided the nutriments necessary to supportpost-surgical patients who were unable toeat normally.

latest count, only seven private institu-tions were among the top 20. They wereHarvard, Columbia, New York Uni-versity, Stanford, Cornell, the Universityof Chicago and Yale.The report points out that before

World War II, 60 percent of the na-tion's college students were in privateinstitutions and 40 percent in public; asof 1966, the ratio was roughly 70 percentin public schools and 30 percent inprivate.The Academy's report contrasted

sharply with one released in 1966 by theAmerican Council on Education in whichuniversities were rated on graduate de-partment excellence. In that survey,private universities made an impressiveshowing. Of those rated among the top10 graduate schools in the country, sixwere private.

Other findings indicated in the studyare as follows:" Engineering doctorates have almostquadrupled since 1958. The professionalfields, especially business administration,have also grown rapidly." Within the sciences, mathematicsdisplayed above-average growth. Amongthe arts, modern foreign languages grewrapidly but fine arts and music wereslow-growing. Biological and socialsciences growth was relatively slow,particularly in psychology." Analysis of doctorate recipients whoshifted fields as they moved up the degreeladder show that the physical sciencesand engineering fields are largely self-contained. The professional fields andeducation, however, obtained over halfof their doctoral students from otherfields and almost one-fourth of the edu-cation doctorates received their master'sfrom another field."

reate to doctorate was 8.2 years." Two-thirds of all new Ph.D.s takeacademic jobs, 12 percent join industryand 7 percent government, while the restenter nonprofit organizations and foreignemployment." On a geographical basis, New Yorkled in the production of doctorates fol-lowed by California, Illinois, Massa-chusetts and Pennsylvania." Only 27 percent of all scholars re-ceive their doctorate in the states wherethey were graduated from high school,except Texas, which has the highest pro-portion of native graduates 50 percent." The percentage of women receivingdoctorates has remained constant at 11percent since 1960 but is smaller than itwas in 1920 when it stood at 15 percent.The low was reached in 1950 with 9percent. However, the total number ofwomen receiving doctorates has risenfrom 613 in 1950 to 2,073 in 1966.

Most Graduate StudentsAttend School Part-timeMost graduate students are married

and going to school part-time, accordingto a nationwide study conducted by theU.S. Office of Education.At the time of the survey (Spring

1965), most of the students had alreadyspent more than four years in graduateschool. Tuition and other costs rangedfrom less than $200 to more than $1,700per year. The median cost in public uni-versities was just over $600 per year,while in private schools the median wasabout $1,500.To finance the cost of graduate school,

students relied mainly on their own em-ployment, wives' employment, and fel-lowships, the study reports. Other sourcesof funds included teaching and researchassistantships and gifts or loans from rel-atives. Loans from other sources-in-cluding the National Defense EducationAct-provided only three percent of thecost of graduate schooling.

Living expenses for full-time studentsranged from under $1,000 to over$9,000, with a median of just over$2,000.More than half of the students re-

ported that at the time of graduationfrom high school their fathers earnedless than $7,500 per year.

(continued from page 1)40 or 50 percent according to estimatesmade by the Council of GraduateSchools. The White House predicts adrop of 15 percent.The American Council on Education

has warned that unless the draft law ischanged, graduate and professional schoolenrollment may be limited next year towomen, veterans and men who are eitherphysically disabled or over 25.

Even on this score there remains un-certainty. Unless the Selective Serviceimmediately notifies those students whowill be eligible, these students, not know-ing whether they will be drafted, willprobably apply to graduate school.

Ironically, undergraduates may behardest hit by the new regulations, espe-cially those in the largest universities.The Commission on Federal Relations ofthe American Council on Education haswarned that the new situation "will havean impact on the supply of teaching andresearch assistants" as well as on facultyassignments and budgetary allocations.

Ending deferments for graduate stu-dents would not only have immediateserious consequences for graduate educa-tion, Dr. Gustave 0. Arlt, president ofthe Council of Graduate Schools pointsout; it would also produce an inevitabledeterioration of all higher education foran unpredictable number of years. Ifnext September's intake by graduateschools drops by 40 percent, output ofPh.D.'s for 1972 will drop down to the1963 level-a ten-year setback.Not only would the production of col-

lege teachers and the build-up of juniorcolleges suffer-and they are alreadyhampered by a shortage of well-trainedteachers-but industry and governmentwould suffer as well.

Academic spokesmen stress that theyhave never asked for wholesale defer-ments or exceptions. What they haveasked for instead are policies that wouldbe both workable and fair to youth anduniversities alike.Many have urged that young men

from the ages of 19 to 26 be inductedselectively, as they are needed, with amix of ages, and that those who proceedwith their education be eligible for thedraft at natural changes of transition-after high school, college or graduateschool.

Others have asked that the oldest-firstprinciple be replaced by some kind of

lottery system so that the graduate stu-dents would take their chances with the19-year-olds and others.The Commission on Federal Relations

of the American Council of Educationfeels draft-eligible men should be in-ducted on basis of random selection. In-duction should occur as soon as possibleafter graduation; if not called upon atthe completion of a baccalaureate, thestudent could pursue a full-time degreeand not be in jeopardy until completionof the degree, withdrawal or dismissal.It had also suggested that the SelectiveService System induct four l9-year-oldsfor each older man or that some form oflottery might be combined with a primeage group for induction at 19. A random-selection system of induction with 19 asthe prime age group was also suggested.

In order to adopt a random selectionsystem, the President must ask Congressto approve it. Congress rejected such asystem last year.

Dr. Donald S. Murray, assistant toPresident Harnwell for Federal Rela-tions, believes the Graduate School willbe less affected by the new regulationsthan the Wharton Graduate School."GSAS students are more likely to go

on to their Ph.D.'s and are allowed upto five years of post-graduate educationif they enrolled before 1966," Dr. Mur-ray explained. "M.B.A. candidates usu-ally leave graduate school after they gettheir degree."

Dr. Murray explained that about 25percent of the bachelor degree studentsand first-year graduate students will bephysically disqualified. Even so, "Theuncertainty is great," he said. "It is pos-sible that a student will be re-classified1-A in June, but will not have his phys-ical until September. What should hedo?"

Another problem brought on by thedraft regulations, Dr. Murray noted,will be the staffing of research projectsand the replacement of teachers.He said he supports a system of ran-

dom selection. He also thinks a graduatestudent who is drafted should be allowedto finish the semester first.

in a crisis stage, some university leaderssee a ray of hope.

Last month the House Special Sub-committee on Education voted a resolu-tion petitioning the President and Secre-tary of Defense to take executive actionto implement the draft changes.A simple Executive order could put

the pool of draftable men into specificcategories. Instead of inducting men onthe basis of oldest in the total pool, theexisting law would permit taking theoldest in each category-the 19-year-olds,college graduates and graduate studentswho had lost their deferments.

In the meantime, Senator EdwardKennedy of Massachusetts has proposeda complete overhaul of the SelectiveService Act, including in it a draft lot-tery. He proposes that 19-year-olds beinducted first and calls for revisions inthe student deferment system.

President's ReportRead Around NationThe University of Pennsylvania has

been popping up in the news with greatregularity ever since The PennsylvaniaGazette released its latest issue featuringa report from President Harnwell.

The editorial waslater picked up by Walter Winchell andexcerpts were published in his column.The Chicago 1merican also mentioned

the report in an editorial, commentingthat although the "quiet revolution" maybe too quiet to get much attention, com-pared to the organized noisemakers, theywere glad to know it existed.
