FOR COMMENTOpen Expression Guidelines

In the April 26 issue, Almanac incorrectly labeled as being "Of Record" a text of the OpenExpression Guidelines which incorporated revisions adopted by Council on April 13.

President Sheldon Hackneyhas extended an invitation for further commenton the motion beforea decision is made. Comment may be sent to him at 100 College Hall.

Following are the present language andthe revision proposed to Council by the CommitteeonOpen Expression:

Prompt compliance withthe instructions shall be amitigating factor in anydisciplinary proceedings based uponthe immediateconduct to which the instructions refer, unless the violators are found to have demonstrated willfullyin an impermissible location.

Speaking Out

On Faculty SalariesIf Faculty Senate Chairman Gerard

Adams doesn't "think anybody is angry" (asreported in the Daily Pennsylvanian, April20, 1988) about the level of faculty salaryincreases recently announced, then his opin-ion simply does not reflect that ofthe facultyI know. Ofcourse the administration is "verypleased" with the salary guidelines, but if"faculty leaders" are also pleased, then itwould seem to be time for a change tofaculty leaders who are not happy to blandlyaccept what administration doles out.

- William C. Lawrence, professor ofmicrobiology

Council continuedfrom p. /

tioned the principle of putting on task forcesthe representatives of interested groups. Mr.Glasker also suggested applying aprecedent inthe Alpha Chi Rho decision-the $5223.52
