White House Alumni -Center established for UMC and NWSA alumni associations

Traditionally the UMC Alumni Association has "come to alumni" through the TROJAN TORCH, mailings announcing the winter dinners, homecoming festivities, and class surveys. It has not always been easy for alumni visiting campus to "come to" the association office.

With the establishment of an alumni center in the White House, problems oflocating the office, parking cars, and meeting association staff are eliminated.

The White House, formerly the Northwest Scnool of Agriculture superintendent's residence, is now the permanent home of the UMC and NWSA Alumni Associations. The building is located in the northeast corner of campus and is most accessible by using ' UMC's north driveway just off Hwy. 75 on county road 215.

The White House is structurally sound and has never stood vacant on the campus. The final Northwest School occupant was the Dr. Bernie Youngquist Family. The building first served UMC as headquarters for the student activities offices and later housed the Division of Home and Family Services. In 1978 the White House was moved onto a new foundation and basement just north of its original site when the new library was built. '

The decision to designate tbe White House as an alumni center was made by University administrators based on recommendations by an evaluation com-mittee and concerned individuals. Both the directors of the NWSA and UMC Alumni Associations promoted the concept of a permanent alumni center. The association presidents identified the many uses of the center such as joint projects and 'involvement between the associations, chronological archives from early NWSA . days to the current UMC programs, and a common location on campus where all alumni could feel a sense of "belonging."

The alumni and development offices have moved into the building and the center is open every day to alumni visitors . However, the "ideal" alumni center will require a large-scale renovation. Tentative plans are to restore the house to its home-like atmosphere of the early decades of the Nor-thwest School.

Within this setting, the family living room will be designed as an alumni library and sitting room. It will be a comfortable location to read Aggie and Trojan yearbooks and enjoy pictures of former classes.

The library will also contain research material for those wile wish to find addresses of forn1er classmates.

Nearly $40,000 was generated for UMC scholarships by the development and financial aids offices. The aid was presented to 120 scholarship recipients at the second annual Scholarship Recognition Banquet on September 20.

President's goal is for seH -supporting association

Homecoming 1983 was an exciting weekend! Four outstanding alumni were recognized, the classes of 1968 and 1973 celebrated special reunions, UMC won the football game, the weather was beautiful, and most importantly, all 500 alumni who attended had a great time!

1983-84 will be a good year for the UMC Alumni Association-a GOAL year. The association is 15 years old. And like every "teenager, " its goal is to be financially self-supporting and an in-dependent decision maker.

UMC is very proud of its alumni, and as the "parent" institution it has fostered the association through financial support of about $4,000 per year, staff support to direct and coordinate alumni events, and office support in the newly established White House Alumni Center.

I believe that all alumni appreciate this support, but it is time for us to do our share by becoming financially independent. Since the association charges no membership dues, no student fees, and no class assessments, the Annual Fund is our only source of income.

This is the year to generate our own money for our own activities. The necessary budget of $4,000 is detailed in a fmancial report in this issue.

So please respond when you are contacted by an Annual Fund letter or phone call. You can still choose where your money is spent at UMC, whether to support alumni programs, scholarships, or UMC's greatest needs.

The choice is yours, but please respond this year and make it truly an annual gift. JUst think of the im-pact a $10 gift by each of

Proulx ('75) the 2,700 alumni would make' on alumni services. Gifts of $25 annually would yield $67,500 for the association! I know that not all alumni will join the Annual Fund, but each gift will be a step toward that important goal-a self-supporting UMC Alumni Association in 1984.

Provost recaps fall quarter activities

The 1983 homecoming was another great ex-perience. It's always a thrill to catch up on the personal and professional progress of our graduates, especially this year 's honored classes of 1968 and 1973. For those of you who were unable to attend, your names came up often in conversation, . and we welcome you back to visit whenever it is possible. .

It has been an exciting fall at UMC. An excellent freshman class joined us for their first year of study and our enrollment remained approximately at the same level as a year ago 0,147 students>. The football team had an ex-cellent season , rating fourth in the nation this fall .

In addition, we have had visits from the Governor's Department of Finance, the Education Division of House Appropriations, and an evaluation visit by the North Central Association of Schools and Colleges. I'm pleaseq to report that we received the highest possible rating from the North Central team, ac-crediation for the next ten years. We're pleased to

The 1983-84 Annual Fund Campaign is in full swing. I urge you to make a tax-deductible gift to the fund so that deserving students can be financially assisted

in their efforts to receive a college education here.

The alumni winter dinners are being planned for February 1984. As usual, they will be in strategic locations around the state, and I look for-ward to spending an evening with you at that time.

Financial report: What are the association's priorities?

The primary. goal of the UMC Alumni Association is to keep graduates informed about UMC, in touch with other classmates, and involved in alumni ac-

> tivities. This goal is accomplished by budgeting the association's time and money into four activities: com-munications, social events, recognition, and records maintenance.

COMMUNICATION is achieved through numerous mailings to alumni mem-bership. The Trojan Torch newsletter is published twice each year at a cost of over $750 for printing, labels, and postage. Increasing its frequency is a priority item when more funds are available. Personal correspondence with alumni costs about $500 per year in .stationery and postage.

SOCIAL EVENTS are an important tool in keeping alumni in: touch with each other. Over 500 alumni attend homecoming festivities each year . A flexible format of reunions, socials, the banquet, and dance provides everyone with a chance to be reaquainted with former classmates . Winter dinners, evenings of socializing in a mini-reunion atmosphere, take place each February in designated locations across the state. Both homecoming and the dinners are self-supporting, but the office costs of promotion and arrangements costs nearly $1,000.

RECOGNITION of UMC's outstanding alumni is an ongoing responsibility of the

association. Each year alumni are honored for their professional achievements, community involvement, and service to UMC at the homecoming recognition banquet. Souvenirs and cer-tificates are presented at other alumni events in appreciation for alumni par-.ticipation. The alumni recognition program costs about $400.

RECORDS MAINTENANCE is vital to the success of the alumni operation. Over 2,700 names are on the current mailing list. These 'represent UMC graduates. All former students who accumulate 45 credit hours or more will be added to the mailing list when funds become available for this extensive computer project. The current cost of maintaining alumni lists is $600 per year in computer use . This does not in-clude any staff time.

These four association activities com-prise an annual budget of $4,000.

$2,000 - Communications $1,000 -Social Events . $400 - Alumni Recognition

-Recor<ls Maintenance Total- $4,000 Funds generated through the 1983-84

Annual Fund campaign will be applied first toward maintaining this current budget. Additional money is targeted toward increasing the frequency of mailings and completing the conversion to computerized records .

Fall quarter enrollment at UMC was 1,143 students. Enrollment for the total University was down almost 2 percent from last fall, at 57,831 students.

Winter Dinners scheduled WINTER DINNERS-mini-reunions for both UMC

and Northwest School of Agriculture alumni. Each year five locations in the state are selected for these evenings of socializing, reminiscing, and learning about UMC TODAY.

The 1984 Dinner parties are planned for February in : Roseau. Stephen, East Grand Forks. Ada, and Min-neapolis-St. Paul.

Attendance at the 1983 dinners jumped significantly over the previous year. Credit for that enthusiastic boost goes to the local coordinators who suggested dinner locations and helped with the technical arrangements.

The Alumni Office is now seeking volunteers to coordinate this year's dinners in each town. If you would like to chair a dinner party or be one of several contact people who will phone neighbors and local alumni, please contact Cheri Viestenz at the White House Alumni Center.

Each year more alumni are available to gather at the dinners. It is a fun evening-prizes, jokes, old stories, good food, and strengthened ties with UMC.

Your registration letter will arrive in January. Please plan to join us at one of the five locations in February!

White House Continued from Page 1.

The original dining room will be reestablished as a gathering area for alumni association board meetings, small receptions, and formal dinners. This unique en-tertainment center will be useful for all UMC divisions and organizational meetings as well as alumni functions.

The second floor bedrooms provide offices for development and alumni relations. A full attic is also available for work space and project completion. Finally, the clean, open basement will provide ample space for alumni archives in roomy displays.

These tentative plans will become more structured through the research and advice of an Alumni Center Restoration Committee. Member's of this . core committee will represent graduates of the Northwest School, UMC, the faculty-staff of UMC, and com-munity supporters. During their September meeting the committee identified necessary sub-eommittees for st>e<:ific projects, alumni contact, fund raising, and long-term use of the center.

Homecoming ]984 will honor the classes of ]969 (]5-year reunion) and ]974 (]O-year reunion). Anyone interested in serving on reunion committees should contact the Alumni Office.

Alumni publications face obstacles Whenever a mailing is sent to the alumni mem-

bership it is an assembly line process of staple-label-sort-bundle. A large percentage of alumni staff time is dedicated to writing and processing thesemailings.so every attempt is made to insUre correct addresses and adequate mailing time.

However, one of the most frequently asked questions is (example), "Why didn't my homecomimg flyer arrive until just before the homecoming weekend?" There are several possible answers. Most often, entire "pockets" of alumni do not receive a specific mailing and that indicates that the delay is due slow postal services. Another cause is incorrect addresses or registering a parent's address with the alumni office instead of current location. Finally, when an alumnus moves and does not indicate that the post office should forward all mail, alumni mailings are thrown away with remaining junk mail.

A second question is often, "My brother attended UMC. Why isn't he getting the mailings?" Currently the alumni records list only UMC graduates. Many transfer students or those who did not complete in-ternships are only a few credits short of official graduation requirements . However, this eliminates their names from University graduation lists-and alumni lists.

The best method of insuring that you or someone you know is on the alumni list is to contact the alumni office with a complete address and student information (years attending, major) . The membership list is constantly being updated and increased.

"Listed below are the projected mailing dates for 1983-84 alumni publications. Please contact the office if you do not receive these.

structure, has been donated to the University of Min-nesota by its former congregation. The structure served the rura1.community southeast of Crookston until 1977.

Groundbreaking ceremonies were held on July 12. The structure is now attached to its new foundation afid work is progressing on the exterior. In a fund raising effort by the Hafslo Project Committee, over $18,000 was donated from private sources for the relocation and renovation of the building on the UMC campus.

Completion of the interior restoration will require an additional $20,000 to $30,000. Project chairperson Jan Solheim, a former Hafslo congregation member, hopes that this additional money will be raised soon so that students can begin to utilize the facility for the ecumenical Campus Ministry Program, studies, and meetings.

The church is located on the north edge of the campus across from the White House. The presence of the church at UMC will "symbolize the importance of three great institutions-home, church , and school- in the development of each of us ," according to Provost S.D. Sahlstrom.

Divisions merge forming hospitality and home "eCOn9mics (RRE)

A major change in curriculum for fall quarter was the consolidation of the Division of Hotel, Restaurant and Institutional Management and the Division of Home Economics into one Division of Hospitality and Home Economics (HHE).

The merger of the two divisions will actually strengthen UMC's programs, according to Dr. Don Sargeant, assistant provost .academic affairs,. by reducing the number of adminIstrators and cuttmg operating costs. "We are reducing in order to offer high quality education in child care and gerentology as well as hotel and restaurant. The programs as they are now are typical of those found at other major universit,ies in the two-year cluster."

HHE Chairman, Kevin · Colden, anticipates this academic year as one of adjustment aijd change for everyone involved. "Seldom do faculty, staff, and students have as open an opportunity to participate in the strategic planning of an academic institution."

Colden admits that communication between faculty and students will be critical during the transition period. In meeting this need, . the set as first priority the task of ensurmg a highly cooperative and positive spirit that will minimize student concerns. A second approach will be student in division's planning process through evaluation of Its strengths, opportunities, faults, and threats.

Finally, communication will be enhanced through the formation of the HHE President's Council com-prised of the presidents of each of the division's student organizations and coordinated by Colden. .

The HHE division will continue to emphasIZe the extra-curricular activities including DECA,. off-campus observations of agencies and facilities, and competitive events. Student adVisement and faculty development opportunities will also remain high on the division's list of priorities.

Underlying all of these objectives in the division's strong curriculum. The faculty are committed to maintaining and updating the curriculum as well as fostering a "high touch" environment .in . which students are an integral part of the new hospitality and home economics division.
