Smith, associ‑ ate professor of classical studies, as University Ombudsman effective July . Dr. Smith joined the Penn faculty in 96 following several years of teaching at Princeton. His doctorate was earned at Harvard. He has had academic leaves to study at the American Academy in Rome, the Center for Hellenic Studies in Washington, and the Institute of the History of Medicine in Baltimore. He was Guggenheim Fellow in 972. Dr. Smith has served as student personnel officer in the College and as graduate chair of his department. In announcing the appointment, President Hackney said: “Professor Smith will be an able successor to Professor Barbara Lowery, who gave to our campus community two years of dispas‑ sionate counsel and wisdom. We thank her for setting aside scholary work in order to serve the common good. With the continuing assistance of Dr. Gulbun O’Connor, assistant ombudsman, we can be assured that the myriad of problems brought to this office will be satisfactorily resolved.” Trustees: Mr. Shoemaker at the Helm Early in the June 20 stated meeting of the full board, outgoing Trustees Chairman Paul F. Miller, Jr., put the gavel into the hands of his newly‑elected successor Alvin Shoemaker, Chairman of First Boston Corporation who then led the meeting through the adoption of a $863 million budget for FY 987 (to be published) and other motions. Among them was a new resolution on investments in companies doing business in South Africa (to be published), specifying that not only stocks but “stocks, bonds and debentures” are to be sold if companies do not meet standards, and spelling out that if substantive progress has not been made by June 30, 1987, the “reasonable period of time” given for withdrawal “shall not extend beyond June 30, 1988.” The motion, from The Committee on Uni‑ versity Responsiblity headed by Richard Brown, was supported by Judge A. Leon Higginbotham but was briefly protested by demonstrators who circled the Ross Gallery Conference Room and whose low chant fell silent after a reprimand from the Vice Provost for University Life. Mr. Brown distributed a new report to fel‑ low Trustees, including sample of letters sent by the Committee and by President Sheldon Hackney to corporations spelling out the Janu‑ ary 9 conditions Penn adopted for continuing investment. It also contains a response to a March resolution of eight campus organizations urging immediate divestment. “Many students, faculty, alumni and other members of the University have repeatedly and forcefully expressed their concern over events in South Africa and the University’s investments in companies that do business in that nation,” the report notes. Later it adds, “The Committee plans to communicate now with the portfolio (continued on page 2) Med Center: Dr. Stemmier The School of Medicine’s Dean Edward Stemmler has been named Executive Vice President of the newly organized University of Pennsylvania Medical Center—a unit bringing together the School, the Hospital and the Clinical Practices of the University. Dr. Stemmler’s term as dean, which was to have ended in 987, has also been extended two years. An additional administrator will be named to the School to take on some day‑to‑day adminis‑ tration, and the search for an executive director of HUP will continue under Dr. Stemmler. Also on his agenda are the development of a strategic plan for the Medical Center. Dr. Thomas Langfitt will continue as Vice President for Health Affairs, with responsibili‑ ties in developing health policy and long‑range plans for the University; he will also continue as Penn’s liaison to community and professional groups including those developing plans for the former PGH site. Executive VP Stemmler Ombudsman Smith State Aid: At $31.2 Million, Up 9.4% The University’s appropriation bill for 1986- 87, House Bill 253, passed in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives on June 6, and in the Senate on June 25, amounts to $3,224,000—an increase in new funds of $2,685,000, or 9.4 percent. The bill contains increases of 6 percent over 985‑86 in the funding lines for General Instruction, Medical Instruction, Veterinary Instruction, New Bolton Center, the Food and Animal Clinics, and the Dental Clinics. It also includes three newly established funding lines, which provide $290,000 for the New Bolton Computer Facility, $54,000 for the New Bolton Center Renovations, and $42,000 for the new Bolton Poultry Bio‑Hazard Facil‑ ity. The six Veterinary School funding lines received a combined increase over 985‑86 of $,62,000, or 5 percent. The newly established funding line provid‑ ing $54,000 for the New Bolton Center Reno‑ vations is actually support for new activities that the Veterinary School will begin as part of a broad initiative called “Animal Health and Productivity.” This initiative was worked out over the past year with a number of major Pennsylvania farm organizations. Thus, the proposed increase over 985‑86 in the funding for existing programs at the Veterinary School is $,080,000, or 0 percent. In addition to the funding that the University will receive through its appropriation bill, the University is also slated to receive funding for the purchase of undergraduate instructional equipment under the terms of a $22 million appropriation to the Pennsylvania Department of Education for distribution to colleges and universities throughout the Commonwealth. This funding is being provided as part of the Commonwealth’s General Appropriation bill and will be distributed at the rate of ap‑ proximately $59 per undergraduate student. Penn’s share is projected to be approximately $600,000. It is expected that this will be a non‑recurring appropriation. Also included in this year’s General Appropriation bill is $500,000 in funding support for the University of Pennsylvania Cancer Center. This is the first year in which the University’s Cancer Center has received funding from the Commonwealth. —From a report by Alexis Van Adzin

Eroding Employee Benefits In response to Helen O’Bannon’s statement (Almanac May27)(“...Liketheweek‑longChristmasbreak,thesummerhoursscheduleis—and always has been—a discretionaryoptionevaluatedeachyearbythePresidentand his management group . . . ”), I submit thefollowing:

1. From the 1977 Benefits Package: “In addition to annual vacation, a special

vacation is provided for non‑faculty,salaried, weekly‑paid personnel duringtheentireperiodbetweenChristmasandNew Year’s Day.”2. From the 1982 Benefits booklet: “In additiontotheregularvacationallowance,aspecialvacationisgrantedforthedaysbetween Christmas and New Year’s Day 3, From the 1984 Benefits-at-a-Glance: “inadditiontotheregularvacationallow‑ance,aspecialvacationisusuallygrantedforthedaysbetweenChristmasandNewYear’s Day.”

First:Although theGuidelines (Section�a)statetheprinciplesthat“TheUniversityofPennsylvania,asacommunityofscholars,affirms, supports, and cherishes the concepts offreedomofthought,inquiry,speechandlawfulassembly.Thefreedomtoexperiment,topresentandtoexaminealternativedataandtheories;thefreedomtohear,express,andtodebatevariousviews;andthefreedomtovoicecriticismofexistingpracticesandvaluesarefundamentalrightswhichmustbeupheldandpracticed by the University in a free society,” theseprincipleslongpredatethewritingoftheGuidelinesandarenotsomethingthatwehave because the Guidelines “allow” it. Second:TheGuidelinesdonot containany limitation, such as “as long as it doesn’t interfere with their duties during office hours.” Since the Guidelines (Sections 1, d;(�),(2),(3);5)applytostudents,faculty,staff,administrativeemployees,trusteesandassociatetrusteesoftheUniversity,evenifthisgenerallimitationoccurred,howcoulditbeupheld?Formostofthemembersofthe“University community” it clearly is neither relevantnoracceptable. Third:AlthoughtheGuidelines(Section�c)state“TheUniversityshouldbevigilanttoensurethecontinuingopennessandeffective‑nessofchannelsofcommunicationamongmembersoftheUniversityonquestionsofcommon interest,” which surely includes sign‑ing petitions, they are specifically concerned withmeetingsanddemonstations.Infact,theyweredevelopedfollowingademonstrationinwhichstudentslaidthemselvesdowninanoffice to prevent recruiting by Dow Chemical Companywhich,atthetime,wasmakingtheNapalmusedintheVietnamwar.

From the extensive list of Trustee actions on appointments, reappointmenls, secondary appointments, leaves, and terminations, Almanacwith the advice of the Faculty Senate gleans only those actions reflecting movement into or within the Standing Faculty. This includes new appointments and promo-tions, and chair designations with or without promotion, in all schools. In the health schools, where reappointment sometimes includes movement from the associated faculty (not in standing faculty) to the clinician‑educator track (standing faculty but not tenure‑accruing), those actions are published. Note that clinician‑educator titles are recognizable by the form of title, ‘Professor of at [affiliated institution]” The following list shows actions from Trustees’ minutes of January 10, 1986 through May 29, 1986, representing actions approved at Provost’s Staff conferences leading up to those meetings.
