Harvey Report (Continued from page 1) In the discussion which followed between the consultant and the trustees, administrators, faculty and staff attending the session, Clarice Jackson, conducting her first meeting as chair of the Board, pointed out that “every one of us is responsible for affirmative action. You can be smug about other people but you must look at your own actions,” she said. “WPC is not an unusual place,” said Harvey. “Many campuses are dealing with the same concerns. But you need to establish where you want to go; what will take place in each unit over a certain period of time. Endorsement by the Board and administration is necessary. It is a challenge to this campus to become a model for the lstate and maybe a model for the Northeast,” he said. “I think that it is doable,” said Jackson.

Frank Zanfino Dies; Former Vice President for Administration and Finance Frank Zanfino, vice president for administration and finance at WPC from 1968 to 1980, died on February 26 at the age of 69. : He had directed Frank zanfim the financing and construction of most of the buildings on the campus. “Zanfino had served the college in many capacities from 1948 until his retirement in 1981,” says President Arnold Speert. “He was with the college when it moved to this campus from Paterson, and when it evolved from a predominantly teacher educa— tion institution to its current role.” He served as acting president in September, 1972. A 1949 graduate of Paterson State Teachers’ College, Zanfino held a bachelor’s degree in business educa— tion and a master’s degree from New York University. He was active in the WPC Alumni Association and was named Alumnus of the Year in 1964.
