Annenberg School SponsorsConference on Content Analysis

Content analysis has advanced a long step from the days when it was used toanalyze enemy broadcasts during the war for useful clues as to their strategy. Todayit is used extensively in such diverse fields as psychology and mathematics, Englishand music. And as a result, there has been an enormous explosion of different methodsand uses of content analysis.

Hoping to bridge the gaps betweenAnnenberg School of Communications issubject November 16, 17 and 18.

According to George Gerbner, dean ofthe School, participants will come fromthe arts and humanities, the biologicaland social sciences, linguistics, mathe-matics and other information and com-puter-oriented sciences. They will reviewthe recent progress made in the field andexplore applications to occurring researchproblems. "It is hoped," Dr. Gerbnerexplained, "that the Conference willpoint to the next steps in the scientificstudy of message content."

Subject areas covered during theConference's six sessions include:-Theories and Definitions, chaired by

Klaus Krippendorff, assistant professor ofcommunications, the Annenberg School.

-Inferences from Content Analysis,chaired by Philip Stone, lecturer, Depart-ment of Social Relations, Harvard Uni-versity.-Recording and Notation in Content

Analysis, chaired by William Paisley, as-sistant professor of communication, Insti-tute for Communication Research, Stan-ford University.-Norms and Standardized Catego-

The University has withdrawn fromthe Tuition Exchange program wherebychildren of faculty here could attendother universities tuition-free and in ex-change, children of faculty at those uni-versities could attend Pennsylvania.

According to Douglas R. Dickson,Student Financial Aid Director, the de-cision to withdraw was reached after theUniversity encountered difficulty inmaintaining a balance of children at-tending school here equal to those goingelsewhere. "Because of the larger num-ber of children eligible, Pennsylvania haslong been sending more children to otherschools than have been attending here,"he explained. "As a result, for the lastfour years we were unable to export anychildren while we attempted to bring ourTuition Exchange Program back into abalance."Mr. Dickson pointed out, too, that an

increasing number of colleges have beenwithdrawing from the program in recentyears, limiting the number of schools fac-ulty children could attend.Tuition benefits are now being pro-

vided by direct grants without the limita-tions of the Exchange Program.

Law School Quietly ChangingProfession's Unconcern for PoorA training program for young lawyers

is very quietly helping to change the pro-fession's unconcern for the poor while itattempts to correct the historic legalinequity paid to them.The University's Law School has just

begun the first Legal Services FellowshipProgram in the country. According toHoward Lesnick, professor of law andcurriculum planner for the program,there is an overwhelming need for Jaw-yers who will work on legal problems ofthe poor. "We need lawyers who have

the time and desire to involve themselvesin important problems in the field-prob-lems of test litigation, law reform andcommunity education," he explained.

Until recently law schools have notbeen very concerned with the problemsof the poor. To help alleviate the prob-lem of a similar disinterest on the part ofthe legal profession generally, the Officeof Economic Opportunity in 1964 estab-lished a program for extending legal aidservices to the poor: there are now 160

Service ProvidesInsurance Advice

More than 700 persons have receivedcounseling or insurance advice since theInsurance Counseling Service for facultyand staff was inaugurated by the Insur-ance Company of North America andcooperating brokers last March. Accord-ing to William Doolittle, Manager ofthe Counseling Service, over three-fourths of those counseled found theycould save money by placing insurancethrough the Counseling Office.

Property-casualty insurance coverages,including automobile, homeowners, boatowners, personal and professional liabil-ity, can be obtained by employees on anindividual basis. Counseling is availablewithout obligation and includes insur-

urbi et orbiThe National Science Foundation re-

cently released its second report on theamounts of total Federal obligations tocolleges and universities during 1963-66.It found that:

" A shift has occurred among aca-demic science activities supported by thegovernment toward increased emphasison science education;

" Support for nonscience activities in-creased more rapidly than for academicscience activities, amounting to nearlyone-half of the increase of Federal fundsto universities and colleges;

" Among universities receiving themost Federal funds, the University ofMichigan replaced MIT as No. 1; theother top ten universities included Stan-ford, Columbia, University of Illinois,Harvard, UCLA, Berkeley, Universityof Chicago and Ohio State University.Pennsylvania ranked 11.

Federal agencies have agreed to stopthe practice of routinely imposing con-ditions on the release of information de-veloped under Federal grants and con-tracts at colleges and universities. Re-strictive action will only be taken inthose cases in which the agency feels thatthe restriction is needed and intends toenforce it. In such instances, the restric-tion demand will be made clear before acontract is signed.

Nearly 40 percent of the 1964 gradu-ates of predominantly Negro colleges anduniversities planned careers in healthservices and research, a proportionequalled by only one other profession-teaching. According to a report issued bythe National Institutes of Health, morethan one-third of the men graduates andone-fourth of the women reported inter-est in medicine; more than 60 percent ofthe men and 50 percent of the women incareers as research scientists.

Greater participation by students in theadministration of colleges and universitieswas urged in a resolution adopted al-most unanimously at the August meetingof the Congress of the National StudentAssociation. Student control was de-manded over chartering student organi-zations, financing student activities, es-tablishing dormitory hours, social andhousing rules, and authority over disci-plinary actions resulting from the viola-tion of student regulations. Joint controlwith admission and faculty was recom-mended in such matters as admissionpolicies, course requirements, hiring anddismissing of faculty members, collegeservices and grading systems.

New Poultry Lab Opens;Hwang Named DirectorThe opening of new poultry diag-

nostic laboratories and appointment ofDr. Jen Hwang as director and associateprofessor of poultry pathology, was an-nounced in October by Dr. Mark W.Allam, dean of the School of VeterinaryMedicine.The laboratory is housed in a wing of

the pathology building at the veterinaryschool's rural campus, New Bolton Cen-ter, near Kennett Square, Pa. It providesdiagnostic services for poultry producersin southeastern Pennsylvania, and is sup-ported in large part by a grant from thePennsylvania Department of Agricul-ture.Dr. Hwang, the new laboratory direc-

tor, is a native of mainland China andwas educated there at the Army Veteri-nary College.

After leaving the mainland, he ac-cepted a teaching post at the NationalTaiwan University, Taiwan, where herose to the rank of associate professor.In 1956, he went to Auburn University,Alabama, and earned an M.S. in poultrypathology. Three years later he receiveda Ph.D. in animal pathology from theUniversity of Connecticut and joined theDuck Research Laboratory of CornellUniversity's veterinary school.

Dr. Hwang is a specialist in duck dis-eases and has published extensively inhis field. About five years ago, he de-veloped a vaccine to protect adult ducksagainst duck virus hepatitis.

of them all over the country. Alreadythey are burdened with heavy case loads.In the District of Columbia alone, caseloads for the legal services unit rose from1,000 to 7,000 in its second year.Mr. Lesnick points out that these

services are desperately in need of trainedpersonnel. It is hoped that the proposedfellowship program will meet some oftheir problems of recruitment. By seek-ing out recruits in mid-year on a nation-wide basis, and providing them withspecialized training, the program shouldbe able to produce a corps of superiorgraduates and young lawyers availablefor service units throughout the countryfor one year. "And maybe they'll be in-terested in staying on longer," he said.

YOUNG MEN RECRUITEDRecruits are drawn from outstanding

graduating seniors, lawyers completingtheir judicial clerkship and lawyers withone or several years practice. "We lookto the young because they are usuallymore militant, more activist-oriented,"explained Mr. Lesnick. "These are thekind of men you need for law reform andtest litigations." Over half of this year'sFellows had just graduated from lawschool; and one half of them had hadprior experience with the poor.

Mr. Lesnick pointed out that mostestablished lawyers "are insulated fromcommunity problems involving the poor"and explained that their traditional ap-proach of handling each case as it comesinto the office, coupled with the pressureof large case loads and small staffs, mili-tates against the development of morefar-reaching and imaginative responsesto the vast problems of the poor. TheLaw School hopes to alter this throughthe fellowship program.

Fifty men and women from all over thecountry are currently participating in the

program. They began their year of workin August, attending a five-week seminarrun by the Law School. They coveredsuch subjects as public housing, welfare,family law, the ghetto community andits resources, social services, debt collec-tion practices, and availability of appel-late review. The courses were conductedby faculty of the Law School here andelsewhere, social workers, and a half-dozen community people involved withparticular problem areas.

After the seminar ended, the Fellows

Legal Aidfor thewere sent to legal service units all overthe country, including two Indian reser-vations. They will return at the end ofJanuary for a regrouping seminar andagain at the end of the fellowship yearfor a final seminar.

SCHOOL WELL-QUALIFIEDThe Law School is unusually well-

qualified to undertake the teaching re-sponsibility of such a program. Just last

year the faculty adopted a resolution ex-pressing interest in expanding its atten-tion to the operation of law affecting thepoor. Numerous projects have beenundertaken in recent years.Jan Krasnowiecki, professor of law,

has developed an entirely new course onmiddle and low-income housing and isworking with Community Legal Serviceson model legislation designed to safe-guard tenants' rights in leaseholds. Inaddition, Krasnowiecki has worked withthe Public Health Service examiningmethods of community organizationneeded to carry out prevention and re-habilitation programs in the neighbor-hood's physical environment.

Another professor, Anthony Amster-dam, supervises an extensive program in-volving graduate and undergraduate stu-dents which provides legal representationto indigent criminal defendents. He alsosupervises the work of a great many stu-dents on behalf of several organizationsdevoted to equal rights, civil rights andcivil liberties.

University ReceivesGrant for TrainingRegional PlannersA $200,000 grant for training regional

planners in improving the scientific man-agement of man's environment wasrecently, granted to the Department ofLandscape Architecture and RegionalPlanning by the Ford Foundation.

According to Ian L. McHarg, chair-man of the department, the grant "isdesigned to help develop a new breed ofplanner who will recognize the relevanceof ecological insights and will be trainedto demand ecological advice." Thefoundation's funds will help Pennsyl-vania develop a new graduate curricu-lum in regional planning consisting of atwo-year course in which one-thir.d toone-half of the work is in ecology orecology and geology.

PoorRobert Mundheim, professor, served

on the Board of Trustees of CommunityLegal Services, Inc., and is chairman of afaculty committee which is charged withthe responsibility of seeing how theschool's interest and commitment to thelegal problems of the poor can be morefully expressed and developed. Twoother faculty members are preparing aPolice Guidance Manual for the educa-tion of the police in legal problems affect-ing community relations.

Lesnick himself is developing a coursedealing with substandard economic con-ditions-unemployment insurance, racialdiscrimination in employment, public as-sistance-and supervises a seminar pro-gram where students actively work withattorneys for community legal services, inconsultation with officials of the Depart-ment of Public Welfare and the facultyof the School of Social Work.TWO BENEFITS OBVIOUS

Although the program's effects cannotbe known for a while yet, two benefitsare obvious. First, 50 bright, capable,highly motivated young lawyers havebeen specifically trained for the practiceof a specialty until recently largely un-known to the legal profession. Second,the development of a curriculum in thefield can aid other schools consideringsuch work.

Lesnick is optimistic about the pro-gram's influence: "Experience with thepreparation of the seminar will lead to abroader infusion of poverty law into sev-eral fields of the law school curriculumand will encourage a trend-stronglybegun at this school-of developing en-tirely new courses responsive to the par-ticular needs of the poor."

In his opinion the post-fellowship con-ference will yield still another valuablebenefit. There he hopes that out of theirpooled experiences, the Fellows will de-velop proposals for model legislation. Healso hopes they will examine the structureof the legal services program itself, anddevelop suggestions for revising its meth-ods of operation and organization.

"If everything goes well," he said,"this project should stimulate not onlycurriculum development in the profes-sion but also law-graduate interest inneighborhood law office practices, hope-fully establishing it as a prestigious andattractive field. Most importantly, itshould stimulate constructive proposalsfor law reform."
