News in Brief
Self-Report of NCAA Violation
Before leaving office as provost, Dr. Stanley Chodorow issued a Self-Report
to the Ivy League detailing a violation of NCAA rules during football
season "as a result of a student-athlete practicing and competing
while not enrolled full-time." The report, based on investigation
by a faculty-administrative team, concludes that the violation resulted
from misunderstanding-but Penn forfeits eight games; recommends that the
Ivy League vacate the athlete's 1997 honors; and outlines steps to be taken
with administrators involved. (See

Public Safety's Move
The University Division of Public Safety's mailing address has changed
from 3914 Locust Walk to:
- Division of Public Safety
- 4026-40 Chestnut Street
- Philadelphia, PA 19104-3020.
All mail for the Division should be addressed to the new address, although
the Special Services Unit will, due to the nature of its work, advertise
its physical location as 4026 Chestnut Street so that customers
can choose to visit their part of the building directly without using the
Police lobby if necessary.
Also, the Communications Center will temporarily remain physically at
3914 Locust Walk, but this should not affect delivery of mail to the new
address, said George Clisby, Director of Police Administration.
