Target Date February 2: It was a packed 36 hours for presidential nominee Dr. . Arriving at 2p.m. Thursday, he spent the afternoon with President , then met with Vartan Gregorian. He had dinner at Entrees On Trays with student leaders, joined later by the Black Faculty and Administrators' Samuel Sylvester, and spent the night at Stouffer House as the guest of its master, Dr. Humphrey Tonkin. Friday began with breakfast at the Faculty Club with Senate's Chair Paul Bender, Past Chair Walter Wales and Chair-elect Phoebe Leboy. Dr. Hackney then met separately with the associate provost, both vice provosts, and each of the vice presidents of the University. After lunch downtown with trustees he had not previously met, he returned to campus for the Council of Deans' meeting, followed by a sherry hour in Mr. Meyerson's office with assorted staff who work closely with the president's office. To their question "when!" he replied that the Tulane trustees have named an acting president so that he can "extricate" himself, and "Martin and I thought February 2...... ". From there, he went to dinner at the Meyersons' and flew back to New Orleans.

Heroics in Harrisburg: While the state Supreme Court has overturned the liquor price rollback that threatened higher education income in Pennsylvania, there's more work for the General Assembly if the abated $33 million is to be restored to Governor Thornburgh's budget. The House last week passed legislation which allows the Governor to include increased liquor income in the budget and the Senate passed it too-but with an amendment that sends it back to the House for concurrence. The House has agreed to continue in session this week, cutting into its pre-election recess to consider the legislation. For Penn, the stake is $2 million -and a possible thaw in the hiring freeze.

Fraternity Recognition: For the first time in writing. Penn has a formal recognition policy for fraternities and sororities (see supplement to this issue). Developed with the help of campus advisory groups under the coordination of Fraternity Affairs Director Martin Stamm, the policy was endorsed 22-0 (with one abstention) by the lnterfraternity Alumni Council this summer and was adopted by Vice Provost Janis Somerville on completion of the alumni mail ballot.

Provost Gregorian hasaccepted the Senate recommendation and has authorized that the Statement on Faculty Responsibility, as modified and approved by the Senate, be published in the" University Regulations"section of Almanac as official University policy. Thefollowing document, tberefore, is to be added to the 1979 Handbook for Faculty and Administration as Section II.D.la (beginning on page 30).

Was it only three Years ago that a world-renowned landscape architect could still rightly say Penn 's image was "tarnished "bY its physical appearance? Looking at Blanche Levy Park today, and at other effects of the Program for the Eighties and alumni tIass giving, it is hard to remember the way we were. Nobody loved the grim, patched asphalt and scarred lawns, but few imagined that it could soon he otherwise- or that the change would have such ripple effects on recruiting, alumni response and faculty! staff morale. Thejob is not over (more in future weeks on that), but as work spreads outfrom campus core to the remaining walk ways andpla:as. here is some of the language that launched the massive reclamation of..

The Spaces in Between by Sir Peter Shepheard

The purpose of a University campus is to provide a setting for Unfortunately much of the worst landscape occurs in very the life of the University. Much of that life of course takes place conspicuous places-the corners of 34th and Walnut streets. 38th in buildings and its richness depends on the quality of these Street, College Hall Green-while the excellent older buildings. But there is also a large part which goes on outside landscapes-Smith Walk and Hamilton Walk-are relatively buildings, in the landscape. The daily passage of people in the tucked away. This, combined with a deliberate turning of the landscape should provide a nexus of meetings, of recreation, or backs of buildings to Walnut and other streets, means that Penn merely of relaxation, all of which greatly enrich University life. presents a poor face to the casual visitor. If a campus has an image in the mind as a place to be loved and Nevertheless, there is much to be thankful for in the legacy of admired it is likely to be formed not so much by the buildings as the campus. In all plans, it is sensible to build on whatever by the spaces in between. When people say Venice is a beautiful excellence exists and our careful evaluation of the campus, which city, they speak not so much of the interiors of its we have set out at some length in this report, shows much buildings-which few of them see-as of the squares and streets that is good. In particular, the decision to close streets and and the life that goes on there; some cities, like Paris, have a create a pedestrian spine, which led to some shutting out of the splendid image in spite of mediocre architecture, because of the city, also gave us, in Locust Walk, a new landscape with some of the delightful layout of streets and boulevards. A university is a kind quality of the old; we propose, largely by a rearrangement of small city, where people gather for a common educational of the services system, to extend this principle further and reduce purpose, but where much of the value and pleasure of being all internal vehicular traffic to a few cul-de-sacs entering from there comes from the daily life of the place. The plan of a city streets. like that of a should be a mechanism for University, city, enabling We believe that our proposals can transform the campus and things to happen, for the enhancement of life. This is a modest make it one of the most civilized of the urban universities.
