Business strategies can help
women advance, trustee says
By ROBERT P. KING
Collegian Staff Writer
Women must take advantage of the strategies used
in the business world and the Olympics if they are to
achieve success, a member of the University Board of
Trustees told the Women's Alliance on Friday.
Cecile Springer, also director of contributions and
community affairs for Westinghouse Electric Corp. in
Pittsburgh, said the keys to success are commitment,
dedication, concentration and a willingness to take
risks, characteristics exemplified this past summer by
the Olympic athletes
"It was astounding, the level of risk those young
people were willing to take," Springer . said. "They
went before the world and said they would achieve
what no one else would being No. 1 in the world."
Success also required a clear defining of personal
goals and strategic planning to achieve them, she said.
While a personal goal can be anything from getting a
certain job to becoming a better parent, it comes down
to "who we are and who we want to be," she said.
Springer said goals should be summarized in easily
understood terms and written down. Otherwise, it is
easy to become distracted and forget your goal.
Planning' involves determining what elements in
your life will block or support you •in reaching your
goal, and what personal skills or resources you must
develop if you are to succeed.
Springer, who was born in Brooklyn "with the two
crippling diseases of being black and female," said she
has achieved success in her life by setting goals in the
form of five-year plans.
For example, some time ago Springer set the goal of
becoming a leader in public policy. When she realized
she did not know how the political decision-making
process took place, she went to the University of
The Society Of Women Engineers
Welcomes all females majoring in Engineering, Science,
and Earth and Mineral Science to their first meeting.

Go for it!
Go after the job you've been dreaming about. You
know, the one with the leader-in-your-field company,
the best salary, the greatest opportunities.
After so
many years and so much hard work, you deserve it.
But before you pick up your transcript, have your suit
cleaned and get your hair cut, get your best asset ready:
your résumé, set in type and printed by Collegian
Production.
Your résumé will leave a positive impression with
your interviewer. More importantly, you'll be noticed
by the people in the company who aren't at the inter
view because your résumé will stand out on a crowded
desk. Résumés from Collegian Production are visually
distinctive. They'll show that you're serious about your
career, and that's an important advantage in a com
petitive situation.

Pittsburgh and got a master's degree in urban plan
ning
"I learned how communities function, how infras
tructures are determined and how decisions are
made," she said.
She added that while the goal may be easily defined,
achieving it still takes dedication and time. Another of
Springer's goals, learning to play tennis well, required
five years of playing every week before it was
achieved.
Springer said women can facilitate success by "net
working," or forming groups for communication,
problem-solving and support.
She quoted a report from the U.S. Bureau of Statis
tics that found that more than half the jobs in America
are filled through personal contacts. Women must
work together to build those contacts for themselves,
she said.
"The coffee klatsch is the best way for women to get
together to solve their personal problems," she said.
"It's absolutely the most vital resource we have." •
She said that through the power of networking,
women are meeting by the thousands to articulate
their goals.
Groups such as the Pennsylvania Women's Cam
paign Fund are offering financial support to women in
public life, she said. The Executive Women's Council of
Pittsburgh enables women to meet and obtain informa
tion on such matters as pay scales they cannot get
anywhere else, she added.
"Until we get to understand that we are the leader
for someone behind us, we lose the ability to lead the
environment," she said.
Mentoring is another important communications
technique. Springer said she always appoints her boss
to be her mentor because "he's the only one whom I
can tell my goals to and expect help in planning my
course."

Cultural center receives
new name, new identity
Recent renovations at the Paul
Robeson Cultural Center signal that
the University is trying to promote
black awareness, said officials at the
center's re-dedication Saturday
"Today signals the realization of an
immediate goal of the University by
refurbishing the center of black cul
ture on the Penn State campus,"
University President Bryce Jordan
said at the ceremony.
The center, formerly known as the
Walnut Building, was renovated this
'summer and renamed for Paul Robe
son, an actor, singer and scholar. It
provides a place where minorities
can share in cultural and social func
tions, Larry Young, director of the
center, said.

and current director of affairs for the

said during the 1960 s the center was a
place where black students got to
gether, to plan and devise courses of
action.
"We tried to do things that made
this University recognize a cross sec
tion of both students black and
white," said James Garner.
Christopher McDowell, director of
minority affairs for the Undergrad
uate Student Government, said black
students currently enrolled should
appreciate the struggle made by
blacks students in the past.
"These are efforts of students from
back in the '6os and '7os," he said.
"We should thank them and then
work for bigger and better things for
the center."
An open house is planned for later
this month.

New England schools hastily adjust
to unexpected flood of freshmen
BOSTON (AP) At Boston Univer
sity, some students had to be put up in
hotels. At Bates College in Maine,
freshmen are bunking in lounges and
game rooms. Male students at
Wellesley College are living in a
hastily renovated lake house.
In colleges and universities around
New England, administrators who
expected empty beds this fall are
instead eking out extra space for an
unexpected glut of freshmen.
The rise in enrollment at many
institutions has come despite a de
crease in New England high school
graduates, and college officials are
in the words of one "happy, but
mystified."
Reports of enrollment increases in
the Midwest and West indicate the
trend may also be occurring outside
New England, although national en
rollment statistics are not yet avail
able.
Among the theories offered to ex
plain the increase are a stronger
economy that has made parents more
confident they can pay the bills; more
students from the sunbelt states; a
higher percentage of college atten
dance among high school graduates;
and harder work by college recruit
ers.
"New England colleges really be
lieved the sky was falling, so they've
been out hustling not scrounging,
but hustling," Amherst College Ad
missions Dean Henry Bedford told
The Boston Sunday Globe.
Admissions officers got their first
indication that fall enrollments might
be higher than predicted when they
noticed an unexpected increase in
applications as much as 12 percent
at some schools
Suspecting that the same number
of students were simply filling out
more applications, some college offi
cials admitted more students, expect
ing that fewer would show up in the
fall.
"When we all reported applications
up this spring, we all said with a grin,
'This can't be. Somebody has to be
down,"', said Henry Taggart, admis
sions director for the University of
Massachusetts at Amherst.
At Boston University, 300 more
students than anticipated showed up
for school this fall, forcing adminis
trators to house some of them tempo
rarily in the Sheraton-Boston Hotel.
Wellesley's enrollment was 75 more
than expected this fall, and at Bates
in Lewiston, Maine, 26 more students
arrived than was forecast.
