Articles in various publications and television programs including some "news" series have reflected on the unethical admissions practices and educational presentations of some career schools. Most of these stories reflect on "old" news, things that have been reported several times in the past. As serious as they are, they are "old" news. More important than being "old" news, they represent only a minor portion of the total array of postsecondary institutions. The vast majority of us in the field of career school education are making a positive contribution to the life and welfare of our country by providing significant educational assistance to hundreds of thousands of students who receive our training and go to work. That isn't always clear in the stories we see on network television and read in major publications.

It was every young designer's dream. On a day when you couldn't have thrown an hors d'oeuvre without hitting a dress by an established couturier, Marilyn Quayle made three fashion design students from an AICS school the talk of the town. Allison Miller, 24, Daniel Caudill, 22, and Denise Ervin, 32, were chosen by the wife of the new vice president to design the suits that she and her daughter Corinne wore on Inauguration Day and Mrs. Quayle's gown for the nine inaugural balls she attended that evening. The inaugural design team is fromTh e Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in California, an AICS member institution since 1972. FIDM instructor Hubert Latimer oversaw the design process. "I was shocked," said Ervin. "It was such a great break for us as far as getting exposure. Mrs. Quayle was really wonderful to work with....Not many people get this chance. There were thousands of other designers wanting to do this." Mrs. Quayle decided to select the young designers as a gesture of encouragement to students pursuing postsecondary education. She also believed this choice for the inauguration was an excellent way of highlighting young American talent. The three students chosen are currently enrolled in the exclusive advanced study program at FIDM. "It is truly a great honor for our students," said FIDM President Toni Hohberg. "It will serve as an inspiration for other aspiring young designers."

Like most AICS students, Ervin, Miller, and Caudill came to an AICS member school to get a crucial headstart in their chosen career. They bring strong talents and experience to the competitive and capricious world of fashion design. Ervin, who designed Mrs. Quayle's evening gown, began as a costume designer at the Omaha (Nebraska) Community Playhouse, where she rose to head designer. She picked

'Therefore, my advice to students ...is that while it is important to have the skills to do the job, it is equally important to have a professional attitude and maturity on the job." For those students who may have designs on Alexander's job, it's probably a lost cause. As Alexander herself said, "Fifteen minutes into my initial interview, I decided I was going to get this job. I've been here ever since because it is a great place to work—people just don't leave Creative Associates."

In for further information. either case you should contact the Council on the Continuing Education Unit, 1101 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20036 for more information. The Council has several publications in which you may be interested. I will try to summa- rize the main points of those publications below, but this summary cannot and should not replace those materials. One CEU is defined as 10 contact hours of participation in an organized continuing education experience under responsible sponsorship, capable direction, and qualified instruction. The 60-minute clock hour is used as the contact hour with no fractions of an hour included in the computation. Thus 1.8 CEU are assigned for a learning experience with a total of 18, 18.5, or 18.75 contact hours. In terms of administrative criteria, the sponsoring institution should do the following: - have an identifiable unit with professional staff to administer and coordinate the program - ensure that all criteria are followed - provide a system for identifying participants who satisfactorily meet program requirements - maintain permanent records of participation that are readily available to the student upon request - provide appropriate facilities, library or reference materials, intructional aids, and equipment consistent with the intended learning outcomes of the experience. The actual program should also meet certain criteria: - appropriate needs assessment of the target audience - clear and concise written statements of intended learning outcomes COMMISSION ACTIONS Taken at the December 1988 Commission Meeting
