Editor says colleges
urge unrealistic goals

editor of Savvy magazine.

The critic is Wendy Reid Crisp, writer
and public relations professional for 17
years, former senior editor at computer
trade magazine Datamation, and founder
and editor of the publication that calls
itself, The Magazine for Executive Women.
It is Crisp's contention that too many
schools, particularly those of prestigious
names, encourage unrealistic expectations
and a fast-track-to-management mentality.
The results, she claims, are bright, young
graduates eager to take charge and in¬
novate but unwilling to listen and take
direction.
Crisp also does not think well of the
business uniform adopted by thousands
of aspiring female yuppies, as advocated
by image consultant John Molly in his
book Dress for Success.

Crisp is probably most critical about
the gaps in cultural literacy and basic
education which she says are widespread.
And she has a warning for those seeking to
move into the managerial and professional

have any idea what he/s talking about!"
Crisp added a final bit of advice.
"Something to keep in mind is, try to be
the kind of person you'd like to invite to
lunch or dinner. Be well read, be know¬
ledgeable."
U.C. Berkeley history professor Dr. Alex Saragoza stressed the Impor¬

Whitfield, whose "last dream" was a
second Satellite College Union, which was
in the planning stages upon his Jan. 10
death by heart attack.
Applications for acting director will be
received no later than Jan. 25, said Bassett
Whitfield will be remembered for initiat¬
ing needed expansion of college union
facilities over the years, plus the helpful
unification of programming and planning
staffs, said Bassett. Whitfield will also be
noted as a dedicated regional vice president
of the Association of College Unions
International, family man and local Rotar-
ian, Bassett continued.
"His fellow workers had respect and
love for him both as an individual and as a
boss," he added.
Starting today, the University will be
receiving applications for acting director
to serve until someone permanent can be
found by Fall 1985. The job discription
for acting director has been revised to
meet changing needs, Bassett said. How¬
ever, a Bachelors Degree plus several
years of college union or related experience
will probably be required of candidates,
he indicated.
Whitfield's job was twofold, Bassett
said. As Student Activities director, he
was responsible for events and campus
organizations, representing the University
President at student senate meetings. As
College Union director, Whitfield oversaw
the operation and maintenance of facilities
plus programming and funding. In these
tasks, which included the opening of the
Satellite College Union last March,
Whitfield was "an expert." Bassett said.
When Whitfield, a former naval airman,
was hired in 1961 as Fresno State College
Association assistant general manager, he
faced a tough, overcrowded college union
problem, said Bassett.
"Many new facilities were needed for
offices, conference rooms dances and pro¬
grams," he explained. After two attempts,
Bassett added, Whitfield finally convinced
the student body to vote fee authorization
for the construction of a modern facility.
"On Nov. II, 1967. the college union
building opened its doors," Bassett ex¬
plained, "and the first dream of Earl's was
a reality." Whitfield's next dream was
fulfilled in March 1984, when his per¬
severance paid off with a Satellite College
Union, built to handle programming.
A third college union facility is planned
for construction near the current Satellite
Union, between the New Science and
Conley Art buildings.
Whitfield, who was 53 when he died,
had suffered heart trouble for some time,
according to Bassett. Poor health had
prevented him from serving as regional
president of the Association of College
Unions International, which had twice
honored him in elections.
