Alumna Holds Unusual Post As TV Designer Ellen Birnbaum Manderfield '38 is a designing woman specializing in television sets. As a senior designer at the Gen eral Electric company in Syracuse, New York, Mrs. Manderfield has created and drawn up the designs for practically all the wooden cab inets, both traditional and modern, that have encased General Electric television sets for the past three years. The only woman in the field who holds her type of job, Mrs. Manderfield ma jored in Art at Mundelein, took advanced art courses, worked in commercial art, and taught in the elementary schools in Buffalo, New York, before her marriage. Her husband, Walter G. Mander field. formerly director of art in a Chicago industrial company, is now in commercial art and photogra phy. After a stint as senior indus trial designer for Montgomery Ward in Chicago, Mrs. Mander field moved with her husband to Syracuse. Designing is not an ivory tower job, Mrs. Manderfield insists. De signers must be aware of develop ments in interior decoration, must keep informed about new fabrics and their possible use for TV cab inets, and must look ahead to the day of color TV. In addition to her work for General Electric, Mrs. Man derfield free lances for a Syr acuse pottery company and recently created a new dinner- ware design that will be on the market soon. In her own home, she has a six- foot coffee table which she made of black cherry wood. A fellow-artist has described Mrs. Manderfield's work at GE as adding the woman's touch, without which TV sets would be too hard to dust.
