Park's will prompt us once again to ask questions of the Board of Trustees. Primarily: Why is the Board so reluctant to question how the College is operating? If Board members were more critical they would ask: Why did we name the School of Communications after Roy H. Park? The plaque outside the Park building claims it was named for him because of his "landmark THE ITHACAN'S VIEW achievements in the communi I cations industry." While we applaud Park's leadership and service to the College, his journalistic accomplishments could hardly be described as "landmark." Park Communications holdings were once described as "a minimum effort advertising vehicle that systematically takes money out of the community and the state of Arkansas [and other areas] without putting much in: much news, much competence." This was written by the Dean of the College of Journalism at the University of Maryland in the Washington Journalism Review in January 1993. If the Communications School bears his name to recognize his anonymous gifts to the College, then why is there no school or building named after former trustees like Robert Reed Colbert, who in 1992 left one of the largest bequests in College history of $2.1 million? No other school at the College is named after a specific individual. Park was a businessman, and acquired properties because of their income potential. not because of journalistic potential. It seems Park viewed Ithaca College in the same manner. Instead of endowing a $500,000 scholarship, as he did at North Carolina State University, he willed $750,000 to ensure that the Ithaca College president is "well provided for." I LETTERS Currently that person is President James J. Whalen, who Park once referred to as a chief executive officer. But Whalen already is "well provided for." His annual salary in 1990-91 was $257,500. Suggestions for cost cutting We are not suggesting that Park should have left us more money. What we want is accountability.
