D ean Attacks
Stor on Sex,
Sits Writer
By JOHN MEREDITH
The Daily Pennsylvanian, stu-
dent newspaper at the University
of Pennsylvania, faces possible
disciplinary action because of an
article which the school's Dean
of Men recently called "one of the
worst examples of what I would
say borders on pornography I've
ever seen."
The article's inspiration was a
proposal by the Women's Student
Government Association favoring
the abolishment of the present
2:00 a.m. curfew for senior women.
The article, a personal views
column titled 'Sex and the Single
Dean' and signed by one of the
paper's city editors, Roger Tauss,
expressed support for the WSGA
proposal " and went on to attack
the manner in which the Dean of
Women's Office exercises its au-
thority.
'Several Comments'
Tauss also included several
comments about virginity, dating,
and extramarital intercourse. The
tone . of these remarks has been
called into question and is in a
large part responsible for the pa-
per's difficulties with the admin-
istration.
What action, if any, the admin-
istrataion will take is not certain.
The matter will be considered
Wednesday at a meeting of The
Undergraduate P u blic a to ns
Board, a newly formed body re-]
sponsible to some extent for the
newspaper. The Wednesday meet-
ing was scheduled prior to the
Tauss article.
This board has the authority to
establish an Ad Hoc jDisciplinary
Committee that would investigate
the matter and take action that it
deems appropriate.
This action could include the
removal of Tauss from his position
on the paper. Marc Ross, Manag-
ing Editor of The Daily Pennsyl-
vanian, said that such a step
would infringe on the rights of a
free press.
Ross expressed hope that no
committee will be established at
the Wednesday meeting. However,
he said that if a committee is
formed, it will indicate faculty
sentiment against the paper and
that severe action against Tauss
would then become a stron pos-
sibility.
He emphasized that the paper
itself could not be suspended un-
der present regulations. The Daily
Pennsylvanian was forced to cease
publication for four days in 1962
by faculty order. This suspension
was criticized at the time, and
policy has since been changed to
prevent a recurrence.
Against Article
General campus opinion has
been against the Tauss article.
Letters printed in The Daily Penn-
sylvanian have accused Tauss of
misinterpreting the motives of the
WSGA proposal, unwarrentedly
attacking the Dean of Women,
and using extreme and unneces-
sary vulgarity.
Ross said, however, that letters
received by the paper have for the
most part, opposed disciplinary
action.
ac Commentin on the decision to
print the article, he remarked that
the Daily Pennsylvanian staff felt
that the column was an honest
criticism of administrative policy
and was in no way personally
slanderous against the Dean of
Women.
West Tax Bill
May Exempt
Organizatios
A bill to exempt fraternities,
sororities and co-operative housing
from personal property taxation
on a local level will be introduced
"this week or the beginning of
mandos and helicopters and oth-
er aircraft aboard.
Troops also were flown from
Aden and mustered in neighbor-
ing Kenya and on ships off the
coast of Tanganyika. Alerts were
sounded in all British bases inj
the area.
Remained Cut Off
The British acted as Tangan-
yika's capital, Dar Es Salaam,
seized by mutinous soldiers yes-
terday, remained virtually cut off
from world communications.
Fourteen persons were reported'
killed in the fighting.
The fate of President Julius
Nyerere's moderate government'
was uncertain although various
reports said he was still in con-
trol.
Follows Coup
Britons were shocked at the
T'anganyika mutiny, following
only a week after the lightning
leftist coup in nearby Zanzibar.
Fears were expressed that Com-
munists were behind both upris-
ings and that they might strike
elsewhere in African countries re-
cently given their independence
by Britain and France.
Moscow, Peking and Havana
agents were suspected involved in
what some newspaper editorials
called "the new darkness over Af-
rica."
Diplomatic reports reaching
London said the Tanganyika cap-
ital was under strict military cur-
few.
Control Police
These reports added that the
situation was calm and that the
troops in charge-the rebellious
first battalion of the Tanganyika
rifles-appeared to have control
of the civilian police.
In Lusaka, Northern Rhodesia,
United Nations sources said that
Nyerere was believed still in con-
trol following the mutiny.
British monitoring stations pick-
ed up a Dar Es Salaam broadcast
naming an African, Lt. Elisha
JULIUS NYERERE
Kavana, as the new revolutionary
commander in chief of the young
republic's army.
Detached Officers
The army had been trained and
congmanded by officers detached
from the British Army.
The mutiny raised questions in
Parliament of Communist subver-
sion in East Africa. Tanganyika
had long been considered an is-
land of moderation in a turbulent
sea of African nationalism.
Commonwealth Secretary Dun-
can Sandys told the House of
Commons the British destroyer
Rhyl with a company of riflemen
had been ordered to Tanganyika
to protect the 5000 British citi-
zens in the former colony. The
destroyer had been standing. off
Zanzibar.
Under Orders
Nairobi radio civil police seem-
ed to be operating under orders
from the military.
Nyerere first announced in a
broadcast from Dar Es Salaam
that a morning mutiny had been
stifled.

Group Plans
Amendmnetst
By THOMAS COPI
A 24-man bipartisan committee
in the House is busy drafting
amendments to the new Constitu-
tion, (in an attempt to get them
on an April 28 ballot.)
Co-chairman Rep. Gail Handy
(R-Eau Claire) said that, the
group's main purpose is to amend
those parts of the Constitution
which are in conflict with the
present political set-up in the
state.
Amon the changes proposed by
the group are removal of prohibi-
tion of a graduated income tax,
and several election, procedures.
No Income Tax
One of the major changes the
unofficial committee proposes is
the elimination of the Constitu-
tion's prohibition of a raduated in-
come tax by striking all reference
to an income tax from the docu-
ment.
A two-thirds vote is necessary
in both houses for an amendment
to be presented to the people.
Handy said that bipartisan sup-
port is therefore necessary, but
that there would be "no prob-
lems involved" in getting it.
Although there is not a compar-
able committee in the Senate,
Handy said that "the Senate
knows what we're doing and is
ready to cooperate with us."
The bills containing the amend-
ments will have to be passed by
Feb. 28 in order to be placed on
an April 28 ballot.

crSHIn Request
Governor To Detail
Recommendations
To State Legislature
By EDWARD HERSTEIN
LANSING-Funds to begin con..
struction of Unit II of the Medical
Science Bldg. were included in a
record $51 million state' capital
outlay budget fiscal 1964-65 rec-
ommended by Gov. George Rom-
ney Friday.
The $12 million facility is ex-
pected. to eventually receive $10
million in appropriations from the
Legislature with the remaining $2
million coming from the federal
government.
Romney's building program also
included a planning program for
25 additional college and univer-
sity structures, as well as 10 other
buildings, with a total .value of
about $61 million.
Doesn't Know
University Vice-President for
Business and Finance Wilbur K.
Pierpont said he did not know now
what projects requested by the
University would be included in
the list. Romney will detail the
program in his budget message to
the Legislature tomorrow.
The $51 million construction
program is $15 million more than
ever spent before in a single year
for construction. If the entire
Romney program is carried out by
the Legislature, it wl total $ 9
milion ove se' ears.
The entire. program would b
financed on a pay-as-you-go basis
as opposed to a bonding program
long advocated by capital Demo-
crats and. many top state edu-
cators.
Not Bonding
Pierpont said that bonding was
never planned for library or class-
room buildings anyway, and that
dormitory facilities and other con-
struction would not be affected by
the plan.
Romney said that using the pay-
as-you-go approach saves well
over $100 million in bonding osts
for his entire construction plan.
"Michigan's program assures a
dollar's worth of building for every
dollar spent," he said.
"I know of no state doing more
for fewer taxpayer dollars in this
vital area than Michigan under
our pay-as-you-go program."
Levy, Gerard,
DeWeese Take
New Positionis
The University has lost three
members of its faculty to the staffs
of other institutions, it was an-
nounced yesterday.
A larger salary and higher po-
sition has led Stanley R. Levy of
the literary college, administrative
assistant to Associate Dean James
H. Robertson to accept a post at
Cornell University. As associate
dean of students there, Levy will
be primarily concerned with the
student government. He leaves the
University at the end of this se-
mester.
Dr. Ralph W. Gerard, professor
of neurophysiology in the Univ er-
sity's Medical School and senior
neurophysiologist and director of
laboratories in the U-M Mental
Health Research Institute, has
been appointed professor of bio-
logical science and director of
special studies at the University
of California at Irvine.
In 1962, Dr. Gerard became the
second person in the 400 year his-
tory of the University of Leyden,
The Netherlands, to receive an
honorarydegree of medicine from
that institution.
Another member of the Medical
School faculty, Dr. Marion De-
Weese, associate professor of sur-
gery and on the staff since 1948,
has been appointed professor of
surgery and chairman of the sur-
gery department at the University
of Missouri School of Medicine. ef-
