Alumni Association Keeps
5,000 Grads Up-to-Date
One of the most important
functions of the University
Alumni Association is to keep
the approximately 85,000
alumni on record informed as
to needs of the University,
and the administration's plans
for future development.
Said Arnold Magnuson, sec
retary-treasurer of the asso
ciation, "We are also most
anxious that alumni still re
siding, in the state are well
informed of financial needs
of the University, and in turn,
make their wishes known to
the state legislature when the
biennial report is due."
Aimed at strengthening loy
alty and friendship arntfng the
University's graduates and
former students, encouraging
a greater interest in the Uni
versity, and Interpreting the
University, to the citizens of
NebraskaVihe association has
varied activities to accom
plish these purposes.
In addition to publishing the
"Nebraska Alumnus" maga
zine 10 times a year, the as
sociation maintains up-to-date
biographical files on former
NU students of a year or
more.
Three Way File
A three-way file is kept on
the approximately ; 85,000
alumni now on record.
Alumni are classified alpha
betically, by year of gradua
tion, and by geographical list
ing.
Persons seeking information
about alumni may check in
the association office located
on the second floor of the
Student Union. Degrees
granted, membership record,
affiliation, occupation, ad
dresses and address changes,
and mate are some alum sta
tistics available.
A new spring project of the
association is an Alumni Col
lege, June 7-8, on the NU cam
pus.
According to Magnuson, it
will afford an educational e
pierence for alumni by pre
senting a series of lectures
by '. University" faculty mem
bers and outstanding speak
ers. ., . - .
' Lectures slated Include "in
vesting and estate planning,"
"participation in politics,"
"foreign affairs," "science in
the '60s," and lectures on fine
arts including music, litera
ture, architecture, and con
temporary painting.
Each year, a major activ
ity of the association is the
organization of Homecoming

Student Writers Produce
Nebr. Alumnus Magazine
For the sixth year in a row,
an issue of the University of
Nebraska Alumnus magazine
will be an all student edition.
Students from the School of
Journalism prepared all the
articles except standing fea
tures. Dr. William E. Hall, J-
School director, said he be
lieves this to be "the only co
operative effort between an
alumni association magazine
and journalism students in
the country."

by students in Prof. Alan
Marshall's magazine class.
Senior Sarah Alden had
easy access to information for
her article, "Vignette of an
Alumnus." The "alumnus"
was her grandfather, Claude

Those of us who have

If we fail to support
People-to-People in the

brotherhood and peace,
we are admitting our in

Mortar Board Revamps
Foreign Student Program
The University Mortar
Board has revamped its fore
ign student program in order
that the foreign students this
year may choose the spring
vacation agenda they prefer.
According to chairmen Ann
Moyer and Gretchen Shell
berg, the Mortar Boards will
offer two programs to the
students: a tour throughout
the state or a "home" pro
gram in which the interna
tional student would spend
the vacation week in the
home of a fellow University
student.
A questionaire concerning
the two programs will be
sent to all foreign students.
Mortar Boards in former
years have offered a five-day
tour of the state of Nebraska
during spring facation which
was open to both American
and foreign students.
If the majority of the for
eign students answering the
questionaire indicate an in
terest in the tour rather than
the alternative "home" pro
gram, plans will be made to
extend the tour to include at
least one of the weekends of
the vacation week. Also the
tour might include a visit to
the Black Hills area of South
Dakota.
Questionaires should be re
turned by March 1 to the
Mortar Board mailbox in the
Student Union. If there is
any question concerning the
questionaire, students should
contact Ann , Moyer at
HE 2-3287 or Gretchen Shell
burg at HE 2-9642.
