President has goals for alumni association,

O'GORMAN IT you attended any ' of the recent winter dinners you

probably met her-welcoming guests, introducing speakers, and always happy to hear alumni stories from "school days," whether those were UMC or Northwest School of Agriculture (NWSA) days.

She is Sherry O'Gorman ('69), president of the UMC Alumni Association and a member of the board of directors for eight of its fifteen years.

One of Sherry's strengths as alumni president is her understanding of the bonds between the Technical College, Experiment Station, and Northwest School. She grew up in Euclid, MN, hearing·her father's stories of his school days at the NWSA and comparing them -to those of her friends who were current students at the school. "I knew most of the kids at the school and always hung around the campus. My first prom and first homecoming dances were at the Northwest School."

Sherry was a high school senior when "the Tech" opened for classes. She enrolled in general education coulI1>es with an interest in accounting. " I figured that that way I could get a decent job if I had to stop school to work." Sherry continued toward a degree in marketing and small business management but was discouraged to

. find that companies refused to interview women for management trainee positions. Every interview was subtly turned to only accounting positions.

Since Sherry was only a few cre.dits short of an ac-counting degree also, she was contacted by several companies. "IT it weren't for UMC I would never have had a chance for those interviews. UMC called me at home more than once to put me in touch with Land 0 Lakes and Control Data."

Sherry feels like somewhat of an authority on in-terviewing. " I've certainly done a lot of interviewing in fifteen years." Her first job was an accounting position with Control Data in Minneapolis. She returned to the Crookston area to marry her longtime fiance, Bob Gaber. His sudden death four months later forced Sherry to shape a new future .

She attended Bemidji State University for a year before accepting a junior accountant position with Investment Dynamics Corp. in Minneapolis. The company went bankrupt two years later. "I learned an awful lot from their bankruptcy. As people left the company there was more and more to do. I was involved in everything the company did.

So, it was back to job interviews again. Sherry worked for a short time with a private CPA in Minneapolis before moving .back to Crookston to be the manager at Brost Chevrolet.

Commencement exercises ror the 'G graduating class of 1983 will be held on Friday, May 20 at 2:00 p.m. on the UMC mall. Dr. William Hueg, Jr., Deputy Vice President for Agriculture, will be the guest speaker.

President previews homecoming Happy Spring! This winter

in the North Country was very mild compared to most winters, with very little snow and not too cold. Some of you night not have been so lucky, but I hope you all fared well. With the coming of the new season, the Board has already turned to Fall and homecoming activities. Homecoming will be October 8th this year . Mark your calendars!! The honored classes are class of '73 and our first 15 year reunion , the class of '68. If anyone is interested in working on the honored class committees, please contact Cheri Viestenz at UMC, myself or any of the Board members. The honored class reunions are only as successful as the classmates make them. Let's see a lot of those old faces on campus next fall!

As the Association gets older and larger, the selection process for our recognition banquet gets to be more difficult each year.

Sherry O'Gorman These awards are a very special way to honor our peers who have done a ' tremendous job with their lives and show them that we are glad we know them.

This past year was the first time the Association got involved with Ag-Arama, and we all had a fun time. I was amazed af the first-class

production the current students put on, and it was great working with them . On Saturday morning we sponsored a brunch for the alumni and the judges, most of whom are alumni. That evening we were part of the contests , Some were serious ag-related events and some were just plain fun! You all should get there next year to see Dr. Sahlstrom throwing (catching'??) eggs ' and eating cream pie-he's not too tidy! ! And then there was the alumni sponsored drinking contest!! You'll just have to come next year to hear more about it! !

The winter dinners were also a huge success. At most locations, more guests showed up than we had expected. There were a few more UMC alumni there than in the past, but the Aggies still out-did us. Let's see that tdrn around next year.

Another new event for the alumni is Career Day. This is

a day when alumni are asked back to campus to talk to the second year students and explain to them what they will find out in the job market. It's a good way for students to receive a little insight and also gives us a little insight into ourselves. During the alumni lunch I found out that many of you have been having mini-reunions at various locations. If there is anything we can do to help you organize, let us know. Also drop us a note telling us what you did and who was there.

Well, since this is the first _ of April and I have a lot more tax returns to get out,. I'd

better cut this short. I do F· t UMC student want to remind you of the IrS Annual Fund again. You have probably already ' received a call, or will be returns to campus getting one shortly. When they call, don't forget all that you learned from UMC. Don't you think it's time to repay a little of the debt!

Provost notes recent accomplishments In 1966 when UMC opened its doors Troy Dagen was the

first student to enter. He registered in the agriculture division's crop science program as a farm boy from Karlstad.

Troy visited UMC in February and commented on the changes in the campus and students since 1966. When he attended the student body consisted of just over 100 males and about five females. Now UMC's enrollment tops 1,100 during fall quarter and the ratio of men to women is equal. He also noted the many new buildings and student facilities on campus. Troy enjoyed attending UMC even with its limited facilities and small enrollment. He felt the small size of the campus offered opportunity for better communication.

GREETINGS TO ALL YOU U M C e r ' s WHEREVER YOU ARE! It's a great pleasure for me to see yo.u in your places of work from time to time. I appreciate the very special family relationship between those who have been together at UMC.

It has been a proud year at the college. Achievements have .been noteworthy in DECA competition, in in-tercollegiate athletic arenas, and through participation in classroom-related activities across the nation. You gra..duates set a pattern of

achievement that is a model for the present students.

I hope that each of you reserved October 7-8, 1983, for homecoming at UMC. The annual recognition banquet will be on Friday, October 7, with the football game and related festivities scheduled after the game on Saturday. This year there will be special activities for the honored classes of 1968 and 1973. We hope that all of you who were part of those classes will make a special effort to J:>e with us. The 1973 football team is also .con-sidering a special reunion this year . .

I wish that each of you might have seen the crowds on campus for the boys and girls district and regional basketball tournaments this year . It was an excellent opportunity to provide the famous UMC hospitality.

A special congratulations to graduates Keith Ramberg and Jim LeClair who joined the Presidents Club of UMC. They are making a special financial commitment to the future of the college through this association. I invite all of you to support the ac-tivities of UMC through contributions to the Alumni Annual Fund.

After attending UMC for two years Troy transferred to North Dakota State University and graduated with .a degree in ag economics. He currently lives at Karlstad and is president of the Red River Valley Potato Growers Association.

Troy is married and has two children, a .son (12) and a daughter' (8).

Charter members received into Presidents Club University president C.

Peter Magrath was the guest 'speaker at the winter recognition luncheon of Presidents Club members on January 21. The Presidents Club is a group of in,dividuals who have invested $10,000 or more in the University of Minnesota-Crookston.

"To date, 27 members have committed , nearly $300,000 in support of UMC through the technical college or the experiment station programs," said Lowell Larson, development officer at UMC. .

At the Presidents Club luncheon, President Magrath presented plaques to each of the 18 new members: Peter A. Carlson, Argyle; Gary C. McVey, Courtney E. Pulkrabek, Keith A. Ramberg, Charles C. Rongen, Donald Sargeant, Robert G. Smith, Aaron Stover, Stephen A. Wright,

Life insurance: A contribution Would you like to make a major gift to the University of Minnesota-Crookston

(UMC) or to a UMGprogram but feel you can't afford it? Do you want to be a member I of the prestigous University Presidents Club but your cash flow does not allow it? , A life insurance policy is one of the least expensive methods of charitable giving. This is particularly true for younger people. Here is how it works:

1. Take out a new life insurance policy. A. A whole life policy with a level premium is recommended. For

a Presidents Club membership the value must be $25,000 or more.

B. UMC is the owner and beneficiary of the policy. Therefore, your entire premiums are tax deductible on your state and federal income tax.

, C. The cost of a policy will depend on your age, policy amount, and insurance

,company but here is a general range.

AGE POLICY FACE VALUES, ANNUAL PREMIUMS 25 $10,000- $80-$125

25,000 $200 -$310

30 $10,000- $100 -$150 35,000 $250 -$575

35 $25,000- $350-$450 30,000 $700-$900

40 $25,000- $450-$560 50,000 $900 - $1,120

2. Assign an existing policy to UMC. • A. Present cash value and all future premiums payment on income are tax

deductible.

B. Determine what program at UMC you would like to see benefitted by your .

The personal advantage of this program is that through your regular giving plan (annual premium) you leverage your money several times.

Example: Assume you take out a $25,000 policy with a premium cost of $300. If you pay 30

percent of your income to state or federal income taxes your $300 premium will cost only $210 annually. But more important, this $210 per year would mean an ultimate

of $25,000. In forty years (probably the maximum you would pay premiums) you would contribute $8,400 but the amount of benefit to UMC would be $25,000 or more.

This is only a general example since your situation and insurance policy will va,ry. Your insurance agent can give you more specific examples. . If you are interested in this type of program, please contact

Historic church donated to UMC The congregation of the

Hafslo Lutheran Church has voted unanimously to make a gift of their church building to the UMC campus. The congregation was disbanded after ninety years of service at a location ten miles southeast of Crookston.

At UMC the church would be a center for informal and ecumenical campus ministry programs as well as organizational events and

displays. Built in 1900, the church will be located on campus adjacent to the former NWSA superin-tendent's home (now known as the "White House"), .emphasizing the importance of home, church, and school in pioneer life.

The University of Min-nesota regent's acceptance of the Hafslo Church was contingent on private fund-raising efforts to pay for the costs of relocation. An ex-citing development in fun-

ding' may help the project reach its goal of $25,000, the minimum amount needed for the relocation which includes moving, site preparation, etc.

Through its Branch Matching Fand program Lutheran Brotherhood, a fraternal organization serving Lutheran congregations, will match gifts up to $250 per congregation.

One of the most valuable resources in each ,

congregation is , UMC al,umni. Would you be willing to work with the Lutheran Brotherhood member in an eff9rt to raise money through your congregation and receive the matching funds?

Nominees selected lor awards Nominations for the 1983 Personal Achievement and

Personal Service awards drew a wide range of alumni talents and contributions. Now the selection process begins, with the awards presented at the annual Alumni RecognitionlJanquet on Friday, October 7, homecoming weekend.

If you receive application forms as a nominee please complete and return them. It is an honor to be nominated. These awards represent the highest recognition UMC gives to distinguished alumni. Nominations are submitted by UMC administration, faculty and staff, along with those made throughout the year by alumni.

The Personal Achievement award is given to graduates or former students who have attained unusual distinction in the chosen field, profession, or public service. The selection committee considers nominees' educational background, professional accomplishments, community service, professional affiliations, community-state-national honors, and personal references.

Past winners of the Personal Achievement award in-clude Thrainn Kristjansson ('72) , Ken Pazdernik ('70), and Gerald Moritz ('68) in 1980; Debra Habedank ('76) and Richard Ramey ('70) in 1981; and Lon Christianson (attended '70), June Delorme ('72) , Jim LeClair (attended '68-'69), and Kenneth Oehlke ('72) in 1982.
