Faculty, Staff Participate In Speakers Bureau In 1977, Delaware County Campus faculty and staft members put their minds together and came to a conclu- sion. They formulated that with their knowledge and skills, they might be helpful to others if they would speak to the general public. It was with this intitial thought that the Speakers Bureau was formed. The Speakers Bureau originally started with just twelve participants. The number of members gradually grew, and this year, there are 30 speakers covering nearly 100 topics. The topics range from Art to Women’s liberation to Philosophy to Science to Career Counseling. The speakers ‘are highly- qualified and informative ex- perts in their respective fields. They all participate on a volunteer basis. The speakers réceive no pay for their ap- pearances. They. provide their service at no charge to area civic, social, and service clubs and organizations. Several of the speakers have appeared on WPVI-TV’s - AM/Philadelphia show and on the Herb Denenberg Show on WCAU- Radio in Philadelphia. Upcoming engagements in- clude Stephen Cimbala’s presentation on World Affairs before the Delaware County Association of Education April 28, and Joan Mandle’s program on Women and Social Changes at the Media Public Library April 29. For more information on the Speakers Bureau, contact the Office of University Relations at 565-3300, ext. 18. — Judy Sealy ‘stolen licenses, The Delaware County photo station is on the Delaware County Community College campus. Motorists whose licenses are renewed on even-numbered years will be processed first. Odd-numbered operators will be processed the following two years.

Currently, photo-license pro- grams are being operated in 42 states and the District of Col- umbia, according to PennDOT Secretary Thomas D. Larson. “Citizens nationwide have found photo licenses to be a valuable means of preventing the fraudulent use of lost or ”’ Larson said. “In addition, photo licenses provide a convenient method of positive identification when traveling or conducting business.” Present licenses must be renewed every two years. The new licenses will only be renew- ed every four years, with the renewal fee remaining at $5.00 per year. There will be an addi- tional charge of $1.50 to cover the cost of the photograph.

Ex-UPI Chief Substituting Here A seasoned newsman backed by 27 years experience with the United Press International wire service has come to the Delaware County Campus on a temporary teaching assign- ment. Ed McFall, married and the father of 3 children, is substitute teaching the freshman journalism class for Spring Term, while Lynn Mar- tin Haskin, Assistant Professor of Journalism, finishes her dissertation for her Ph.D. For McFall, this is just one more job in his busy schedule. He is also part-time journalism instructor at Temple Universi- ty, where he has taught for the past 7 years. However, in his seeming af- finity for colleges and univer- sities, McFall spends much of his time at yet another educa- tional institution. He is Director of the News Bureau at the University of Pennsylvania, a position he has held since April 1979, when he left the UPI as a 10-year veteran manager of the Philadelphia Bureau. He took the U. of P. job because he was given a good of- fer ana because, after 27 years with the wire service, he was getting bored. “I sort of knew what to ex- pect,” he said. “I wanted to see if I could be skilled at some other aspect of “journalism.” However, at the same time he decided to leave UPI, Three Mile Island erupted, the type of incident reporters dream of covering. McFall reminisced jokingly, “I almost felt as if I had made the wrong decision, because I had announced my decision before TMI occurred.” He would have looked for- ward to covering the event. McFall, a Ridley Park resi- dent, is not unfamiliar with the Penn State system. He attend- ed the Delaware County Cam- pus before it was moved from a Chester facility to Lima in 1970. After one year, he went to University Park, where he stayed half a year, then transferred to Temple Universi- ty, where he received his bachelor’s degree in Journalism in 1954. Involved with journalism his entire life, McFall began work- ing fulltime for the UPI while he was a fulltime sophomore at Temple. Since then he has not lost his deep interest in the profession and still misses the wire ser- vice. He feels he has benefited greatly from the journalism profession and stated assured- ly, “If 1 had to do the same damn thing over again I'd do it the same way.” — Carolyn Horning cial aid programs. 1-800-692-7435, loans is 1-800-692-7392.
