Professionalism gets analyzed
FDA director discusses characteristics, importance of communication
By Kendall Kerr
Stctf Writer
Gary E. German, director of the state training branch
of the United States Food and Drug Administration,
spoke Thursday afternoon in Lynda Brown's Environmental Safety class about professionalism.
German, a graduate of Eastern Tennessee State who
now resides in Pennsylvania, talked about the characteristics of a professional and related many examples
to his own life experiences.
"In any profession, you must give to get," said
German. He said the extra things he does in addition to
his job, like speaking at CSUF, gives inforrnation to
future professionals and he gets great satisfaction out of
that.
German believes that everyone has a station in life
and is needed in society in some way. German defined '
professions as "a calling requiring specialized know- /
ledge and often long and intensive academic pre-
paraiion.
"Students should enjoy the process of the calling and
the long and intensive preparation ."said German.
Communication is everywhere in society and people
have to utilize it. "In order for communication to occur,
an idea has to be caught," he said. Professionals have to
use communication everyday in order to get across to
the public that what they are doing is important.
German said a problem with commuiucation is
sometimes it is too loud, too soft, has biases or people
do not know i[ is coming. Communication is not always verbal. Facial expressions, hand gestures and the
way a person dresses in the professional world arc all
pan of communication.
Dunne the discussion, German asked the class what
kinds of jobs they considered professions. The different
occupations ranged from a nurse, doctor. Lawyer, to a
professional football player and somebody involved in a
trade such as a carpenter or plumber.
Many professions were not mentioned and some of

FCC offers algebra for summer
By Steve Fountain
Staff Writer
Fresno City College is adding more intermediate* algebra classes this summer
due to CSUFs revamped mathematics requirement, according to sources in FCCs
counseling office.
After this summer, CSUF sludents can
no longer use intermediate algebra, Math
4. to fulfill their math general education
requirement.
The policy change has caused many
CSUF students to plan on taking intermediate algebra during summer school.
Since summer session tuition at FCC
is $5 per unit, as opposed to $79 per unit
at CSUF, counselors at FCC anticipate a
rush of CSUF students for the school's
mtermediate algebra class.
The intermediate course at FCC is
Math 3.
FCC counselors are not sure of the exact number of Math 3 classes that will be
available during Ihe summer.
Last summer, FCC offered one intermediate course during the ihree week post-
spring semester and two during the six
week summer session.
FCC is changing their summer school
format this year. There will be four sessions in durations of four, six, eight and
10 weeks.
All sessions are tentatively planned to
start in early June, according to FCCs
counseling office.
FCC is also offering a short-term
intermediate course starting March 14.
The six-week class will meet Monday
through Friday from 1 p.m.-2:50 p.m.
CSUF students who take the course in
March need to attain a concurrem enrollment permission slip from the admissions office at CSUF.
CSUF students attending summer
courses al FCC do not need the permission slips, but all CSUF students
taking intermediate algebra at FCC must
prove their eligibility prior to registration.
This can be done by showing FCC

FCC.
