At the end of the field day, a results book
will be given to all the competing schools.
The book includes brochures from the different departments in the School of Agriculture and Home Economics, lists of all
the chairs of the field day, the results of all
the events and a dedication to a professor
in the ag department who was especially
helpful in organizing the field day.
"The field day gives them (students)
experience to compete with other kids
from other schools," said Gammel, who
was involved in FFA in high school and a
junior chairperson last year. "They get to
sec tne campus. It's good PR for us and
good PR for FFA."
The field day is sponsored by Security
Pacific Bank. According to Gammel, the
bank is donating lunch and the coaches
arc providing coffee hour and several
banners for high teams. The Associated
Students-Senate has also donated S2.200

Illiteracy
contributing
to poverty
Illiteracy rates are rising in the United
States and are resulting in more economic
problems for women than men, a former
CSUF instructor said Wednesday.
Carol Wilson, coordinator of the Fresno
County Public Library Literacy Program,
discussed the connection between poverty
and illiteracy with a small group assembled
in the Re-Entry Program office.
For women, poverty and illiteracy are
inextricably connected, she said.       —.
She claimed that illiterate women are
generally poor and cannot find employment that pays sufficiently to push them
over the poverty line, but the same is not
"Poor, illiterate men who go to work
aren't poor anymore. Poor illiterate women
who go to work are still poor," she said.
"Illiteracy is not the overriding economic
problem for men that it is for

' Thirteen percent of all adults in

"Some carry broken glasses and ask
strangers to read signs or applications for
them because their glasses 'just broke.'"
One-third of U.S. adults are illiterate.
"We may never know that our friends or
acquaintances arc illiterate unless they tell
us. And most won't tell us because we
react with shock and disbelief."
Wilson said the illiteracy rate is continuing to rise in the United States because
more students are dropping out of school,
and because the number of immigrants
coming to the United States is decreasing.
Funding for literacy programs has also
been cut, Wilson said. "Reagan believes
there is really no need for funding of literacy or educational programs. The cost of
one Tomahawk Missile would restore all
loss to educational funding, and he wants
20," she said. "What are these 'bullets'
going to do for us?"
Wilson said illiteracy is serving the purposes of-hig business. "When farm workers
and domestic workers cant read or write,
they cant access higher-paying jobs. This
creates a population that has no choice
but to dp menial labor."
Wilson said illiteracy also "keeps women
in their place."
"What happens when a woman becomes
educated?" she asked. "She's no longer
dependent and her perspective changes.
That* very threatening,"

The Satellite College Union Performance Hall will be dedicated to the late
College Union Director A. Earl Whitfield
on April 24, in conjunction with the opening of Vintage Days.
Whitfield served CSUF as director of
the College Union from 1965 until his
death at the age of 53 ofa heart attack, in
January 1985.^
"He was instrumental in the establishment of both the original College Union
and the Satellite College Union." said
Virginia Stemple. assistant to the College
Union director.
She said Whitfield was also the driving
force behind the creation of Vintage Days,
and the dedication ceremony will coincide

across the nation have been invited, said
College Union Director Cleo Bash.
The ceremony is open to the public.
Several of Whitfield's long-time friends
are scheduled lo speak about his personal
and professional life and about his many
accomplishments.
Whitfield's involvement with CSUF
began when he was a student at the university and was the 1960 student body
"He saw there was no place for students
to study, visit or relax,"Stemple said. "As
(student body) president, he was instrumental in placing a funding initiative on
the election ballot which eventually led ter
the development of the College U nion."
Whitfield graduated from CSUF and
returned in 1961 to begin working in student activities.
the first CUwasbuilt."The College Union
was heavily scheduled, especially the
lounge," she said. "He felt the lounge
should be a place for students to study and
visit. He saw the need for a programming
facility on campus."
