Under the direction of the Board of Trustees, Whittier is taking steps to meet these challenges by implementing aggressive admissions and fund-raising programs, while Eugene S. Mills structuring faculty, administrative, and operating staffs to President, Whittier College serve the needs of the expected student population. A special planning group of the trustees, faculty and administration, and an outside consulting firm have devised a strategic plan to guide the college into the 1990s. Based on an evaluation of enrollment projections into the 1990s, the college has restructured the administrative staff and has eliminated 13 administrative positions. Some of these are part-time and several are vacant positions that will not be filled. The academic program also will be structured to accommodate 1000 undergraduates. Faculty committees will meet through Feb. 1 to determine appropriate faculty adjustments to maintain the high academic quality of the college. With these adjustments, the college expects to eliminate a $262,000 deficit this year and place the college in a position of strength to enter the next decade. A Bird's Eye View of Change

4 Fire: Vital to Our Environment

mwmg mmt.I ~

Fo years Smokey the Bear warned school children and vacationers, "Only YOU can prevent forest fires:' Public- spirited citizens took Smokey's warning seriously, believing, along with the Forest Service and the National Park Service, that fires should be prevented at all costs. Fire suppression is no longer advocated by these agencies. Smokey has been officially retired. Now the policy in national parks and other areas is that of letting fires burn, except where human life and property are immediately threat- ened. The fires this past summer in Yellowstone National Park were allowed to follow their natural course, albeit over a large area. Why do the National Park Service and the National Forest Service back such a policy? Fires—Natural and Necessary The change in manage- ment policy from fire suppression to let-it-burn reflects growing know- ledge that fire is impor- tant and necessary to a wide range of natural ecosystems. The prairies of the Midwest, the or- chid and pitcher plant bogs of the Southeast, the chaparral and giant Sequoias of California and the Lodgepole pines of Yellowstone all de- pend on periodic fires. Without fire, for example, the forests of Yellowstone Sterling Keeley analyzes data.

During the late '60s bad air and water became very apparent— their quality was not even measured before the early '70s. In the absence of state and federal agencies, people like myself tried to make the point that if government and industry would spend some money on science to do things correctly, they could have economically sensible solutions and at the same time protect the environment." Crow, whose passion for both the creative and practical aspects of ecology was fueled by Professor Emerita of Biology Lois James, said his goal from the beginning has been to apply scientific research to achieve long-lasting environmental conservation.

Homecoming '88 Homecoming '88 bustled with good cheer as the weekend of reunions, brunches and receptions brought more than 1,000 Whittier alumni back to campus. Homecoming '88 would be remembered as the year it didn't matter that you couldn't see the game: the Poets fell 6-24 to Claremont-Mudd, but nobody actually witnessed the defeat as a dense fog rolled in over the field. The class of '38 celebrated their Golden Anniversary at the Whittier Hilton. Also celebrating their not-yet golden reunions were the classes of '43, 48, '53,'58, 63, 168, '73, '78 and '83. Highlighting the reunion circuit was the return of the Hep Cats at the class of '43 reunion. The Hep Cats, consisting of Guy Frank, Bob Dye, Jack Scott, Fred Mooney and Bill Thompson, often played at student functions and could be found jamming in Wardman Hall when they were students. The reunion marked the first time in 45 years that they'd played together. The members came from West Virginia, Hawaii and all over California. Only one member, Guy Frank, became a professional musician as a pianist and professor of music. After the Saturday morning society brunches, the Homecoming convocation with Dr. Harry Nerhood "Looking Back" and Dr. Richard Archer "Looking Ahead" and Dr. William Geiger '62 "Making Connections" packed more than 200 people into a standing room only Hoover Lautrup. "Happy Harry" Nerhood received a standing ovation. The Inter-Society cocktail hour at the Hilton was quite a hit. Saturday afternoon also was a time for Cap and Gown alumni from the past 50 years to get together to celebrate their Golden Anniversary at the home of Shirley (Plummer) White '47. While new and old members shared their stories, the Cross Country team held its second annual reunion. On Sunday, alumni of the Whittier Scholars Program started their year-long celebration of the program's ten-year anniversary with a wine and cheese reunion in the Ettinger Faculty/Alumni Center. The weekend came to a close with the Homecoming Alumni Concert that featured organist Michelle McCartney '70 and pianist Jeanette Wong '81.

Tardeada: Viva El Centro! Viva Whittier! The festive sounds of mariachi greeted students, parents, alumni, faculty and administrators on Oct. 9 as they gathered at the President's Home overlooking the college for Whittier's 18th annual Tardeada. The Tardeada is an afternoon reception Honorees at introducing Hispanic students and their parents to faculty, Tardeada administrators and members of the college Board of Trustees. This year's event, co-sponsored by Miller Brewing Company, 7-Up Bottling Company and Trader Joe's, featured the mariachi "Los Camperos," courtesy of Musician's Local 47; "El Grupo Folkiorico de UCLA," a dance troupe; and food provided by El Cholo Restaurants. Attorney Gilbert Moret, a 1962 graduate of the college and a founding member of Alianza de los Amigos, served as master of ceremonies. The Tardeada is one event in a series of social, educational and cultural events sponsored each year by the Hispanic Students Association, Alianza de los Amigos, the Hispanic Parents Association and the Center of Mexican American Affairs. 1988 marks the 20th anniversary of the Center of Mexican American Affairs, which coordinates activities geared toward Hispanic student recruitment and retention. Professor Emeritus of Sociology Robert O'Brien proposed the Center in the late 1960s, and a committee chaired by Donald Nuttall of the history department developed the concept, approved by the faculty in the spring of 1968. Martin Ortiz, a 1948 Whittier graduate, has headed the program since its founding. As the Center of Mexican American Affairs begins its third decade on campus, we can be proud that Whittier has received national recognition for its strong commitment to minority education. The Council for the Advancement of Private Higher Education revealed recently that Whittier is the most ethnically diverse of all the nation's small nonsectarian colleges. In addition, a 1985 survey by the Los Angeles Times reported that Whittier College has a higher percentage of full-time undergraduate Hispanic students than any other comparable private college in Southern California.

The book's series of step-by-step exercises help the reader uncover and recognize the "personal myths" that guide her or his life. One of the main focuses of psychotherapy and other forms of personal exploration is to help people identify destructive personal beliefs or "myths." The goal of personal mythology is to go beyond identifying these destructive patterns, and to begin to actively transform negative "myths" into more positive ones, Feinstein says. Also included in Feinstein's book are case histories which lucidly illustrate what personal mythology is, and how living a personal mythology that no longer works can be responsible for personal unhappiness, bad relationships and an unfulfilled life. For more than a decade, Feinstein and Krippner, both psychologists, have presented this self-discovery program through popular seminars conducted around the world. Their approach, which originated in a research project in the Department of Psychiatry at The Johns Hopkins University Class of '68 at Whittier Hilton. School of Medicine, is offered to the general public for the first time in book form in Personal Mythology.
