A Vigorous Voice for Minorities
Prof. Madeleine M. Joullie raises some pointed questions
regarding the University's commitment to affirmative action
The
chairperson of^ the^ University's Council on Equal Opportunity, an ad- visory group that reports to the president and the (^) provost, said this week that the Administration, (^) by its "secretiveness," had impeded the work of her committee on the matter of affirmative action. She was (^) referring to the (^) University's unwillingness to^ disclose^ details^ of its negotiations with^ U. S.^ Labor^ Dept. offi- cials (^) regarding the audit, begun in Janu- ary, of Penn's equal opportunity program. The University is currently (^) making some changes in that plan. According to Dr.^ Madeleine M. Joullie, a professor of organic chemistry who has headed the equal opportunity panel since its (^) inception in^ 1976, "If we had had ac- cess to this new^ affirmative action (^) pro- gram that^ is^ being developed we^ could have made recommendations^ in^ those areas. We need to see, for (^) example, whether there are (^) grievance procedures for everyone. But universities tend to be
very secretive."

Both have worked closely on affirmative action issues. "We used to run together," says Robinson, talking of the pair's fondness for jogging around campus.

The Cults Come to
Campus
By Rabbi^ Michael A.^ Monson Director, Hillel Foundation
"What's all the fuss about anyway-no one has ever bothered me-and further- more, what's so wrong about them-can't I decide for myself what is good for me and what's not?" "What's (^) wrong with (^) you and that university-can't you protect my childfrom these cults? If Hillel did its job or the uni- versity threw^ these people out,^ my child would not have become a 'moonie.' Both of the quotes are actual statements shared with me over a period of two years. Juxtaposed, they pinpoint the^ tensions created (^) by the so-called cult groups that function in our midst. That they exist and that they are perceived as a threat is no news. Furthermore, in many instances the university setting is a prime target area for recruitment. What we do not know is the extent of the problem in terms of the proliferation of such groups, the (^) scope of their activity, and the degree to which people are joining
up. There^ simply are no verifiable statis- tics. The secret is that the closed nature of the groups makes such data impossible to obtain. What we often hear is an embel- lishment of individual situations garnished with some (^) sensationalist (^) reporting, fren- zied reaction from affected families, and
the visible presence of exotic or abbera-Almanac

tive behavior on street (^) corners, (^) airports, or at mass gatherings. What, however, distinguishes the Unifi- cation Church of Sun (^) Myung Moon, or Hare Krishna, or Children of God, from an acceptable (^) religious commitment?^ One student once asked, (^) "Why are Hillel, the C.A., and Newman kosher and the others are not?" (^) The (^) terminology might raise eyebrows among my colleagues in^ the campus ministry, but^ the^ point is^ well taken. Perhaps the^ most^ important aspect is that of free entry and exit and the full dis- closure of the (^) philosophy, activities, re- sources, and (^) goals of the (^) group. Surely each of the established historical traditions seeks devotees and works to (^) strengthen
'Perhaps the most Important aspect is that of free entry and exit... and full disclosure'
their (^) commitment. There exists as well within certain sectors of Christianity mis- sionary movements which are particularly distasteful to the Jewish community. How- ever, the (^) particular theological traditions are (^) open to (^) scrutiny, criticism, and free movement. A major concern has been the resources of each (^) group, their (^) acquisition and distribution-and here is where (^) secrecy and deception become most intense. The records of (^) the normative Jewish and Christian charities are an open book. We can readily observe their methods of col- lection and their avenues of distribution. Although religion is supposed to be above the (^) physical and fiscal concerns, (^) good works and miizvot cost money-lots of it. Certainly the^ established^ traditions have come under criticism for their find-raising emphasis, but^ the^ community is^ well served by their efforts. I have yet to see a disclosure by any of the cult (^) groups of distribution of funds. We do know that the personal wealth of Guru (^) Maharaj Ji and the land holdings of Sun (^) Myung Moon are excessive, to say the least. At the same time, the masses of devotees (^) lead austere lives, often at the poverty level,^ while^ they turn over their receipts from candy sales and^ household jobs to the church. The structure of each group is pyramidal, and the chiefs are few while the braves (^) proliferate. Secret knowledge and privilege is accorded to a
closed inner circle who have access to the master. Why? What^ makes^ an^ intelligent, per- ceptive, often^ skeptical student^ suddenly take off emotionally, spiritually, and phys- ically with one of these groups? My experience as a rabbi on a campus has convinced me that the most difficult task that (^) challenges an individual is the necessity of decision^ making. Quite often the (^) vulnerable individual has been raised by doting parents who^ overprotect and shield their child from the decisions he/she has to make. (^) When this same person ar- rives at the university the opposite is true, and he/she is often ill (^) prepared to make these (^) decisions. The (^) cult group assumes that (^) responsibility and (^) removes the bur- den. The sacrifice of individuality may not be that great if you can be relieved of the burdens of career choice, (^) academic suc- cess, and competition, jockeying for social position, anomie,^ alienation,^ and^ the broad category of "making it" in today's world. Each of the cult groups allows the de- votee to escape the "real world," cast his/her lot with the (^) spiritual (^) community, and allow the so-called (^) divine master to call the shots. Less risk, less loss. Believe it or not (^) (no pun intended), the (^) pain of reality hurts^ more^ than^ the^ loss^ of indi- viduality. We live in a period that is perceived as a difficult one morally, spiritually, aesthet- ically, and, most important, economically. Historically, false^ messiahs^ proliferate when the going gets rough. We live in a time when (^) answers are (^) expected to all questions. If computers can produce data at (^) great speed, and appliances can make my life so much easier: (1) why can't reli- gion answer my problems as it is supposed to be doing? (2) why is it so painful to read a (^) newspaper and see (^) such a bleak (^) prog- nosis for the future? (3) why is everything so bad when it is supposed to be so good? (4) why can't I get into graduate school or get a job? I (^) have used terms like traditional, nor- mative, established, and historical to de- scribe (^) Judaism and (^) Christianity. How- ever, the lines between the groups are not always so^ finely drawn.^ Certainly the mechanisms, the techniques, and often the claims are confused. None (^) of us is that sophisticated or dispassionate to be able to

Reviews (^) have appeared in Com- mentary, The New^ Republic, Journal^ of Economic Literature, American Journal of Sociology, the Chronicle of Higher Educa- tion, (^) Psychology Today, and (^) numerous other publications. Many books^ published by the^ press have (^) been (^) adopted (^) by book clubs, have appeared in paperback, and have received awards such as the Stuart L. Bernath Prize which was given to Philip Baram for his The Department ofState in the Middle East for (^) being the best book of the (^) year on American foreign policy.

The Administration's closed-mouth po- sition on its new affirmative action (^) pro- gram, charged Dr. Joullie, is not in keep- ing with^ the its cooperation on^ other re- lated (^) matters. "The whole (^) atmosphere here has (^) changed in recent (^) years." she said. "The Administration is (^) more sensi- tive to equal opportunity issues. Most de- cent (^) people see that equal opportunity is here to stay. Besides, it's good business, good management." Dr. Joullie, who (^) acknowledged during an interview that she was not always poli- tic, also raised questions about the Admin- istration's resolve in implementing the af- firmative action recommendations made by the Task^ Force on^ Black^ Presence in March of 1978. "The (^) top management must be committed to black (^) presence," said Dr. (^) Joullie. "We (^) [the Council] feel

Energy Tips
Easing the crunch
The Energy Office of Operational Ser-
vices brings to the community's attention the
following:
Dust/vacuum radiator surfaces fre- quently: dust and grime impede the flow of heat.
Keep curtains and shades open in sunny
windows: close them at night. They can
reduce heat gain through windows on the
sun side of the house by as much as 50
percent.
Do not boil water in an open pan as water
will come to a boil slower; it uses less energy
in a kettle or covered pan.
Defrost manual-defrost refrigerators/
freezers regularly. Frost buildup increases
the amount of energy needed to keep the
engine running: never allow frost to build up
more than one-quarter of an inch.
Use one large bulb instead of several
small ones in areas where bright light is
needed.
Never let a faucet drip; onedrop a second
can waste 700 gallons of water a year.
Prepare small meals in electric skillets.
grills, crock pots, etc., rather than heating an
entire oven.
One 40 watt fluorescent tube provides
more light than three 60 watt incandescent
bulbs, saving money and energy.
Placing a sheet ofaluminum foil between
the wall and the radiator reflects heat back
into the house and will help eliminate winter
condensation problems.
If the basement walls are damp (but not
leaking water), brushing interior cement or
plastic sealer directly onto the^ walls will
reduce the moisture problem significantly.
Portable heaters can be the most eco-
nomical way to fill limited needs for extra
heat.
When buying a car, the best fuel
economy is^ associated^ with^ low^ vehicle
weight, small engines, manual transmission,
low axle ratio, and low frontal area.
Check the air pressure in your tires at
least once a month. Underinflated tires put
an extra dragon theengine requiring it to use
more gasoline.
" Sexual (^) activity between (^) graduate stu- dents in (^) psychology and their (^) faculty members has (^) become a (^) fairly common practice, according to three California re- searchers who (^) have looked into the mat- ter. (^) According to the researchers, a quar- ter of all women who received their Ph.D.'s in psychology in the last six years have (^) engaged in such (^) activity. By com- parison, male students have had less sex- ual contact with their female professors - although, again, psychology majors at the Ph.D. level have been more prone, as it were, to this kind of behavior. " (^) The (^) University of Minnesota has been fined $4,300 in civil (^) penalties by the Nu- clear Regulatory Commission for 14 viola- tions of the NRC's (^) regulations for the
handling of^ radioactive^ materials.^ The university will not contest the fine. " Four state colleges in Pennsylvania have notified 89 tenured faculty members that their jobs will end in Septemer of 1980 due to declining enrollments and an effort by the Commonwealth to balance its (^) higher education (^) budget. The four schools in- volved are East (^) Stroudsburg, Edinboro, Mansfield, and (^) Shippensburg State Col- leges. Edinboro,^ which^ has^ mounted^ an operating deficit^ of^ nearly^ $1.5^ million over the past four (^) years, plans to term- inate 50 faculty and (^) eight administrative positions. That^ decision^ was^ announced by Foster F. Diebold,the newly appointed president there.

Programs
The (^) College of General Studies is co- sponsoring Continuum, an extensive pro- gram that will take place throughout Octo- ber and November in its new location on Rittenhouse Square. This (^) comprehensive series of intensive and exciting courses, slide lectures, and a panel discussion,^ beginning on^ Monday, October 8 and running through Thursday, November 15, includes a wide range of di- verse topics on "Crafts as Contemporary Art," "A Glimpse of the Art Market: The View from Southeby Parke Bernet," "Six Tastes of China," "The Fine Print," "Aliens from Outer (^) Space," "Vic- toriana," (^) "Computers: Our Masters or Servants?,"" Finding the Artist in You," and "Art of the Greek Islands." The panel discussion on November 30, hosted (^) by the (^) presidents of Bryn Mawr, Haverford, Swarthmore, and President Martin Meyerson, will focus on "Liberal Arts: Time and Money Well Spent?" Cooperating Philadelphia Alumni/ac Clubs include the (^) founding members of Continuum: Barnard, Brown, Bryn Mawr, Columbia, Cornell,^ Dartmouth,^ Harvard, Haverford, Mount (^) Holyoke, Princeton, Swarthmore, Vassar, Wellesley, Yale, and Penn; associate^ members^ are^ Amherst, Goddard, Smith, and Sweet Briar.

" (^) Barbara J. (^) Lowery, associate professor in the School of (^) Nursing's Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing division, has been awarded over $2.5 million for the next five years by the National Institute of Mental Health for her three (^) newly established graduate programs. A master's level pro- gram in child and adolescent mental health nursing received $217,084 for its first year and is (^) projected to receive a total of $1,085,500 while another program on the chronically mentally disabled^ received $81,427 for its first six-month period with a total projection of $970,000. The third pro- gram, the^ University's doctor^ of nursing science (^) program, has been (^) allotted $543,000 for the support of its psychiatric mental (^) health (^) nursing degree. The grant for these three programs will (^) further the school's objectives to maintain its leader- ship in^ educating nurses^ in^ the^ field^ of mental health.
" The Chronic Care Study of the Special
Care and Treatment Unit (SCAT) for the
chronically ill at Middlesex General Hos-

Record The For
From the (^) Senate Chairman, Walter D. Wales: The Senate Advisory Committee, at its meeting of September 12, recommended in the name of the Senate that the paragraph on curriculum and degrees currently in the Statutes be^ changed to reflect the new statement on (^) admissions (^) passed at the April 25 meeting of the Senate. The pres- ent paragraph in the Statute is:
Each faculty, subject to such regu- lations as the Executive Board (^) may prescribe, shall set its own subject re- quirements for admission, regulations for (^) instruction of students, and re- quirements for^ recommendations for degrees in course and in faculty.
The new wording recommended by the Senate Advisory Committee is:
Subject to^ general policies estab- lished (^) by the trustees of the Univer- sity, the^ responsibility for^ determin- ing the^ quality of the^ student^ body that each (^) college or school seeks to
attract shall rest with the (^) faculty of that college or school or, in the case of undergraduate programs, with all relevant faculties jointly. Each faculty shall articulate the criteria for selec- tion of applicants for admission and shall establish a written admissions policy that^ describes^ these^ criteria. Each (^) faculty shall also monitor im- plementation of this^ admissions pol- icy and amend it when necessary.
Subject to^ general policies estab- lished by the trustees of the (^) Univer- sity, each faculty shall also set its reg- ulations for instruction of students and (^) requirements for recom- mendations for degrees in course and in faculty.
According to the Rules of the Senate, if twenty members^ protest this^ action^ by written petition within two weeks of publi- cation, the action does not take effect un- less ratified at a Senate meeting or, if the Senate (^) Advisory Committee so chooses, by referendum.
Preliminary Senate Agenda Set The fall (^) meeting of the Faculty Senate has been scheduled for 3:00 p.m. on Mon- day, October^ 29,^ in^ Room^102 of^ the Chemistry Building. The^ agenda will^ in- clude reports from several committees, a discussion of the probable effects of im- plementation of new accounting guidelines (required by Circular A-21 of the Office of Management and^ Budget), and action on the status of the clinician-educator faculty in the Medical School. The report of the Senate Committee on the Faculty (ALMANAC, May 1, (^) 1979) has been (^) accepted by the Senate (^) Advisory Committee. The Senate (^) Advisory Corn-

Minorities and
SAT Scores
The College Board recently announced that the national SAT test result averages declined during the 1978-79 academic year. Specifically, the verbal average of the SATs declined by 2 points from 429 to 427 while the math average slipped by I point from 468 to 467. Gary M.^ Kelsey, director^ of minority recruitment at the University, and the Penn Towne (^) Chapter. Links (^) Inc., a (^) group of professional black women educators, lawy-
ers, judges, doctors and business executives, continue (^) to be concerned about how low testing results^ have^ a^ severely negative impact for many black and other minority groups by prohibiting them access to higher education. In an effort to (^) respond to this concern, the Minority Recruitment Program at the (^) University, along with Links Inc., is sponsoring "Test^ Taking (^) Workshop" for roughly 125 senior and junior students from the (^) Philadelphia school (^) system on (^) Sep- tember 22 at the University. A workshop on "Test Wiseness"-the ability to understand the question by which level of attainment is being assessed^ and^ to^ utilize^ the^ most efficient approach available when answering a test-will be one of the (^) many exercises given.
Book Orders
Provost Vartan Gregorian has issued the following statement concerning the order- ing of textbooks: "In order to facilitate the (^) ordering of textbooks, it is (^) University policy that fac- ulty members^ submit to the Bookstore^ a list of all books required or recommended for courses offered at the University. Be- cause at least eight weeks are needed for consolidating such orders, I would like to ask that all faculty members make every effort to submit their book (^) requirements by the due date, October 15th. If this is not possible, a call to Barry Vitow, director of the bookstore, would be most (^) ap- preciated."
