Ask the Alumni office. They've got the records. They can tell you where the graduates are, what they are do ing, what they have done, when they did It and how. They keep a file on each one. Established 1021 Established in 1921, the Alumni office was originally set up by the Oregon Alumni association for the purpose of coordinating an alumni program and keeping tabs on former students. Today it not only keeps comprehensive records, but ai ts as Information center for hundreds of alumni groups across the country, publishes a monthly magazine, Old Oregon, directs University promotion tours and solicits funds for the development of the University. Head of the many-faceted op eration is Les Anderson, Alumni director. He describes the office as "the headquarters of the alumni \ association und depository head quarters for all alumni records." Partly Paid by State The office's six-member staff is paid partly by the stale, which subsidizes the records portion of the office, and partly by the Alumni association. The Old Ore gon editor is paid entirely by the association. The Alumni office directs a two phase program divided into “on campus" and “off campus." The “on campus" program pro vides graduates with information of activities at the University, promotes the big annual events such as Junior Weekend and Homecoming) and schedules class reunions on the campus. The "off campus' division is in three phases: athletic, educational and social. Oregon Sports The office keeps alums posted on Oregon sports, gives them foot ball ticket preferences and assists in meetings of "booster" clubs under the athletic section. Educational "alumni tours," state-wide trips made by repre sentatives of the faculty, admin istration and the cqaching staff are carried on throughout the year. An "Oregon alumni day” is pro claimed in a city or town and the keam moves in to campaign for the University. The office rotates the membership of the team. Twenty professors are on call, prepared to speak on their par ticular specialty. The social phases consist mainly of pre-game parties sponsored by alumni groups and backed bysthifr office. Sponsors Conference A major function of the Alumni office is the Alumni Leaders con ference held each year on the campus when graduates discuss problems and plan future pro grams. The next conference is scheduled for Feb. 10. In Eugene the office sponsors Alumni firesides during winter term. A professor talks and coffee is served. From lf>0 to 200 per sons usually attend the events. Anderson said. There ure about 2500 alums in Eugene. Office records list 0000 active Oregon alumni. They belong to 36 county organizations in Oregon and 32 clubs throughout the Unit ed States. "They range in char acter from the perennial sopho moc to the staid old school teach er," Anderson said. "Our plan is to aim our program at as many people as possible." Committee in Charge The alumni organization is run by an executive committee of 13 members made up of a president, a vice president, a secretary, a treasurer and nine members-at large. Next in the chain of command is the alumni director, Anderson. He coordinates operation in six • divisions the Development Fund (gifts to the University), county 1 organizations, clubs, Old Oregon, the Alumni office and the Alumni Student Advisory fyjard* ,((jbtaim* ng new students).
