Penn St. New Look, Location for Office of Advancement by Marce D. Scarbrough QC Senior Staff Writer A number of important changes have taken place in the Office of Advancement over the summer, including a move off campus, personnel shifts, and the preparation for a new capital campaign scheduled to begin sometime in 1994. The move comes shortly after what Joseph Zanetta, Vice President for Advancement, termed, "the biggest year in the history of private gifts for the college." According to Zanetta, $7.4 million were given to the school, including a $3 million bequest to the college from the estate of Wally Turner and the final distribution of the estate of Ross McCullough which totaled $1.5 million. In August, the Office of Advancement moved from the basement of Mendenhall1 to the fourth floor of the Whittier Square building, located at 13215 E. Penn St. In a memo issued to faculty and staff, Zanetta cited space requirements and limited room on campus as reasons for the move. The new office is smaller than the old one, 4,000 square feet instead ofthe 5,000 in Mendenhall. The lease is for two to three years, and includes a number of building improvements including new carpeting and electrical outlets. According to information supplied by Harold Hewitt, Vice President of Finance, the school is renting the property for about $3,333 a month, and has paid one year's rent in advance. Four members of the Advancement Office have also left over the summer. JaneBurbank andMichelle Jordan, bothmem- bers of the Alumni Office, and Sandra Sarr and Nina Santo of the Public Relations office left the College. These changes continue a pattern of administrative changes during the summer monthss. (See Sidebar) "Leaving was very difficult, because I really loved the job," Jane Burbank, former Director of Alumni Relations, said, "but I think I had major philosophical differences with the new director." In an interview with the QC, Zanetta stated that, "When Icamein.mychargefrom President Ash and the Board of Trustees was to dramatically change the way we do fund-raising. We need to be more aggressive and to act like a national liberal arts Please see ADVANCEMENT pg. 6 Summer Administration Changes List compiled from past QC Newspapers by Betsy Briggs QC News Editor The following is a list of the administration positions that have changed during the summers since 1988. According to Joe Zanetta, Vice President of Advancement, the fiscal year is from July 1-June 30 and that is why so many changes happen during the summer. SUMMER OF 1988 HIRED Alison Copping—Area co- : ordinator for Ball, Stauffer | and Johnson Halls. i Barbara Rudesill—Areaco- I ordinator in charge of | Turner apartments, Carousel Court, small housing and all other dorms. RESIGNED Maiji McCall-Stanley—Director of Residential Life. Melissa Woods—Area coordinator for Stauffer, Johnson and Ball Hall. Please see CHANGES pgS Walker's Visit to Whittier Cancelled by Alexander Mackie QC Advertising Manager Alice Walker, author of The Color Purple, who was scheduled to speak to a sold- out audience in the Shannon Center on Monday, cancelled the performance due to the death of her mother, according to Faculty Master Joseph Price, one ofthe sponsors. Price said that although the performance has yet to be rescheduled, "her willingness to come has clearly been expressed," Price said. "Ill do everyting I can to help her come to the campus." For now "grieving happens on all parts," Price said. 'We're mourning the loss , in that she won't be with us for awhile", he added. The Shannon Center staff spent roughly 44 hours preparingfor an overflowcrowd after the Robinson Theater sold out in less then a week, according to David Palmer, the production coordinator for the Center. Palmer said he was preparing for an overflow crowd by setting uplive video displays ofthe performance in the Studio Theater and in the Chapel, if the need arose. "We were prepared for 600 plus people observing in one way, shape or form. The only thing larger is orientation (roughly 700 people)" said Palmer. "It's exciting preparing for an event like this, having a sold out crowd, then it came to a screeching halt and put into reverse. It's disappointing" Palmer said. Although the event was sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Faculty, Price and the Whittier Scholars Program, Price was the one responsible for working with Walker and her manager. According to Price it took six months of negotiating with Walker and her agent. "She refuses most invitations," Price said. Central to the invitation, Price said, was Walker interacting with the students. "This isn't an event purely for the faculty. It was for her to come and speak with students." Both Price and Palmer said that no funds were lost due to the cancellation. Although Price would not say the amount Walker was being paid, he did say that the Scholars Program, Stauffer House and the Office of the Dean of Faculty pooled as much money as they reasonably could to pay for the event.

In fact, actual renovation on the club is not scheduled to begin until "sometime in mid-fall" according to Vice-President of Business and Finance, Harold Hewitt. Hewitt also stated that last year's projection was a "goal" and not a definitive opening date. Stated Hewitt, "The renovation of the Clubs completion is contingent upon many factors...the most important of these being special design features related to student input." Forecasted spending on the Club has also changed. Last year the school estimted that the total cost of bringing the Club up to code was somewhere between $40,000 to $60,000. Hewitt currently plans to spend $250,000 on the renovation.
