Some said it couldn't be done, to be President of the MSM-UMR Alumni Association and live in Dallas, Texas, and work around the world . But it could be done and done well. And the tenure of Bob Brackbill proves it. Brack is a goal oriented individual and over the years , he has shared some of those goals with me. Tonight I would recognize three accomplished goals, which I estimate will have a long term major impact on the future of the Association . One of Brack's goals was the preparation of a manual of information concerning objectives in the organization of the Association , a handy reference work, so to speak . The manual has been written, published , and the directors received their copies at the meeting yesterday . It will be circulated to all Class Agents and Section Officers and will be available to others upon request . The second goal was to extend the effectiveness of the Association through the involvement of individual alumni in what is commonly known as the Class Agent System . Tonight I can report that through Brack's efforts representatives of each class have been recruited and a total of 175 have agreed to help. I might say here that past efforts of Tony Homyk encouraged Brack to proceed with this project, and Tony has suggested that the titles of the volunteers be changed from Class Agent to Class Coordinator. The third major goal recently accomplished was the perfection of an application for exemption with the Internal Revenue Service , which allowed the Association to gain 501 (c)(3) status . I am not aware of all the effort that went into this project , but I know that it had intermittent attention from 1964 on. Your gifts to the Alumni Association are now tax deductible as provided by law. It is a privilege to call Bob to the podium to receive the plaque, which in a small measure attests to his service as president.

A bo ve remarks were made by Richard Bauer, H omecoming Awards Banquet.

Friday evening, beginning at 5 : 30 p .m ., a jazz combo played at the alumni social hour held in the St. Pat's Church Recreation Hall , directly north of the campus. Later the same evening, at 7 p . m., the pep band boosted the spirits of those participating in the observation of the M-Club's bonfire at Jackling Field_ At 9 p. m., the student dance band "Drifters" provided a "big- band sound" at a dance sponsored by the Class of 1951 in the St. Pat 's Church Recreation Hall.

Saturday morning, Oct. 23, Jazz Ensemble I (there are also Jazz Ensembles II and III) performed at the dedication ceremonies for UMR 's newly acquired Thomas Jefferson Residence Hall.

Sponsors of this contest are members of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, national honorary band fraternity and sorority. The sponsors (mostly members of the UMR band) run the contest and act as judges as representatives from various organizations see who can eat three pies in the least amount of time .

Needless to say , this activity has a high "y-y ycht " potential.

At halftime , the Marching Miners took the field opening with a slowmarch drill to the Finale of Dvorak 's "New World Symphony." While performing "America the Beautiful " the band completed a series of marching parallelograms.

Next , from a St. Pat 's shamrock formation , the band presented "Yankee Doodle " played as a march , a jazz waltz, a chorale , and as a "swing " arrangement. The band 's portion of the ha lftime show concluded with a special rock presentation of " Pack Rat", which featured the Porn Porn Corps.

Saturday night at the social hour preceeding the Alumni Awards Banquet a "pickup " quartet made up of members of the Drifters entertained the more than 300 in attendance .

Discussion of the 1976-77 operating budget and the 1976-77 and 1977-78

Annual M eeting MSM -UMR A lumni Association Octob er 23, 1976 President Bauer called the meeting to order at 9 : 15 p.m. in Centennial Hall of the Unive rsit y Center.

The result of the election of officers and directors was announced.

The resu lts of the Special Meeting of the AssociationJune 15 , 1976 were announced.

support budget resulted in approval of items as proposed . The operating bud get was increased $4 ,550 to $60 ,3 50.00 and the support budgets , which had previously been approved were confirmed at $40,950.00 and $51 ,950.00, subject to revenues . Goals were adopted for 1976-77 and 1977-78 of $101 ,300.00 and $117 ,500 .00.

Other reports and discussions were of a routine nature with the exception of Paul Dowling 's, which was concerned with his responsibilities with the Development Council. There has not yet been a determination of all relationships between the Association and this Council, but the spirit of cooperation was evident.

The Alumni Annual Fund year will be changed to coincide with the calender year. This means the 1977 Fund will have a 16 month year and will require the understanding and cooperation of alumni so that revenues are continued through next fall at the same or higher rate as they have in the past. It was felt that the Fund will benefit from the change to match the average alumni tax year and also that the Fund is now tax deductible. The Chancellor reported to the Board and was available to answer questions . Complete copies of the minutes are available upon request.

A motion was made to change the By- Laws of the Association as follows: Article II , Section 2 . Revise so that written notice of annual meeting should be made 30 da ys prior to the meeting (instead of 60 days) .

Articl e V , Section 2. Add: "Every candidate for the Board of Directors and for a position as an officer of the Association shall be a holder of an earned degree from MSM / UMR and shall have been a contributor to the Alumni Association for at least the two years immediately prior to nomination . In addition , every candidate proposed for the position as an officer of the Association shall have been a director for at least two years prior to nomination. "

Chancellor Raymond Bisplinghoff Resigns Dr. Raymond L. Bisplinghoff, chancellor of the U n i v e r sit y of Missouri's Rolla campus since October 1974 , announced Nov. 12 , plans to resign to accept an offer from a private firm. Interim University President James C. Olson has accepted the resignation "with disappointment and regret. " "Dr. Bisplinghoff is one of the nation 's most distinguished authorities in science, " President Olson said. "The University has profited from his experience and wisdom during his two years as chancellor , and obviously I want to express my sincere appreciation to him for the leadership and expertise he has provided not only the Rolla campus , but the total University as well. "

degree from Eidgenossische Hochschule , Zurich, Switzerland .

Before he became deputy director of NSF in 1970 , he had been a member of the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge since 1946 . He served that institution as head of the department of aeronautics and astronautics and was dean of the School of Engineering there for two years .

Dr. Bisplinghoff's resignation becomes effective Jan. 1, 1977. Details of his business offer will be announced later, the chancellor said, and he indicated his reasons for leaving the University were "due to the attractiveness of the job offer and other personal factors. " Dr. Olson said he will select a person to serve as acting chancellor and also will appoint a search committee to recommend a successor to Dr. Bisplinghoff.

Dr. Bisplinghoff, 59 , was named chancellor of the Rolla campus July 17, 1974, and assumed the duties the following Oct. 1. He succeeded Dr. Dudley Thompson, now vice chancellor at UMR, who had filled the position on an acting basis for approximately one year.

Before his appointment as chancellor of the Rolla campus, Dr. Bisplinghoff had served as deputy director of the National Science Foundation in Washington, D.C.

Alumni and friends of the University of Missouri - Rolla were invited to special dedication ceremonies and open house in the newly acquired Thomas Jefferson Residence Hall at 10 a.m .

Saturday, Oct. 23. Special recognition was given to those who have made contributions to the renovation of the building during this Homecoming weekend event .

The residence hall was purchased last April for $ 1, 130 ,000 with $960,000 financed through a 25-year mortgage.

Fac ilities for student services, such as reside nces , dining halls, and recrea tional centers have been traditionally funded by other than state appropriations.

When purchase of the residence hall was completed last spring, Chancellor Raymond L. Bisplinghoff acknowledged it as a "Major a chievement for our campus. Last fa ll ," he said, "we were severly handicapped by inadequate housing. We know some students did not enroll at UMR as a result. If we had not obtained this dormitory, we feel certain this fall 's enrollment would have been severly curtailed. " UMR previously had dormitory space for onl y 611 students.

T.]. has double occupance space for 524 students, plus space for six resident assistants and a housing manager. At the beginning of the semester , a ll spaces were filled .

Double occupancy ra te ( including food service) is $ 1,35 0 for the academ ic year. This is $ 100 more than the rate in other campus dormitories . T he higher fee covers the added extras Thomas Jefferson provides such as air conditioning, free parking, elevators , sw imming pool , a nd physical fitn ess a nd game rooms on the lower level.

The dormitory was built privately in 1966 and its present replacement value is eva luated at more than $5 million. It was closed to UMR students in December , 1972. Because it had been vacant for three years, some renovation was necessary before students could move in this past August.

MSMAlumnus

Paul Dowling '40 , chairman of the UMR Development Council and p as t president of the MSM-UMR Alumni Association ini tiated a specia l campaign to raise $26 0,000 from ,among alumni and fri e nds to finance the renova tion so the building could be used by students at the begi nning of the fall semester. H e said , "Everyo ne shou ld recognize the importance of this addition to our campus. And helping finance this dormitory provides a n excellent opportunity for each of us to participate In Rolla 's continu ing growth. " Howard Eloe, UMR development director, ex plained that money for the renova tion was borrowed on a short term note a nd must be paid back soon.

On Decembe r 1, the special campaign had raised a total of $184,652.07 , and contributions had been received from more than 167 individuals or industries and further contributions are still being accepted. Any money received in excess of the $250 ,000 will provide needed funds for further improvements and other student services.

Gifts of more than $ 1,000 provide the donors the opportunity to make a commemorative designation of various facilities. The schedule for specific commemorative opportunities is as Residence hall n a m e, fo llows: $5 00 ,000; main lounge , dining room , pool a nd patio , $5 0 ,000; anyone of seven floors , $3 0 ,000 ; reception area , $ 15 ,000; a seminar room (there are seven) or floor lounge (there are six) , $ 10 ,000 ; a floor study room (there are six) , $5 ,000 ; a student room (268) , $ 1,000.

Donors receiving specia l recognition in the form of commemorative plaques a t Saturday 'S dedication ceremonies were Mrs. V. H . McNutt , the McNutt floor , Dr . K. F . Hasselmann, the Hasselmann floor, Ed. A. , Gertrude, Sherman E. Smith a nd Wilma Smith Arnold, the Smith floor . Harry and Alma Kessler, Fred S.

National Park Exhibit A n ew exhibit of crafts , provided by t he National Park Service , was shown for the first time at the U niversity of Missouri - Rolla in St. Pat 's Ballroom , U niversity Center- West.

Entitled "Craftsmen in the Parks ," the display opened Friday , Oct. 22 , and ra n through Sunday , Oct. 31. The showing coincided with Homecoming R egistratio n.

A number of artists from the Peter 's Valley Craftsmen group in Layto n , N. ]. were invited to visit national parks.

T he resultant sculpture , ceramics, tapestry, were the individua ls ' personal responses to the parks.

Viewers saw expressions of the various crafts by artists, who visited the Virgin Islands U nderwater Park , Bryce Canyon Natio n a l Park in Uta h , Olympic National Park in Washington, Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado, Cape Cod Nationa l Seashore in Massachusetts, Acadia Nationa l Park in Maine , and t he Florida Everglades Nationa l Park .

T his ex hibit was brou ght to UMR throug h the efforts of the UMR Stu dent Union Board and was assemb led by Mrs . Berna Harvey , SUB program director, with assistance from Alex Outlaw , representative of the Ozark Nationa l Scenic Riverways , Van Buren, a division of the National Park Se rvice .

"C raftsmen in the Parks " will be exhibited next at the St. Louis Gateway Arch .

Miners Build Character The 1976 football Miners had a season of stark contrasts. They lost their first game of the year , but then reeled off four wins and a tie to bring their record to a surprising 4 -1-1 mark and 2-0 in the MIAA. But from that point on, jt was all down hill. Coach Charlie Finley's gridders dropped their last five games to finish 4 -6-1 and 2-4 in the conference.

The offense was the cause of most of Finley 's concern during the season . " Our defense played well enough to keep us in all of our games, .. Finley said . " But we just weren 't able to s~ore in crucial situations ...

The Miners will need to replace some key personnel from that defensive unit.

Three members of the secondary, Herb H erman, Dennis Jones and Mark Mastroianni will be lost to graduation .

Linebacker Jerry Hofman , noseman Kent Lewis and defensive end Terry Owens also played out their careers for the defense.

Offensively , the Miners will lose guards Jeff Buck and Gary Roebke , tackle Brad Harriman and center Sam Massy from the line . Starting fullback Mark Franklin , reserve running back

Jim Waechter and reserve quarterback Jon Graham also are seniors.

There were several bright spots in the UMR offense . The most pleasant surprise was halfback Terry Ryan , who broke the Miner season rushing record with 928 yards. The old mark was set in 1974 by Mike Keeler with 884 yards .

The sophomore from St. Louis does not have great speed, but has the ability to follow his blockers and find the holes .

H e also plays with a typi ca l Miner heart.

Quarterback Kenny Vaughn will return and will have three outstanding receivers back with him . Vaughn averaged nearly 20 yards per pass in completing 64 of 149 with eight touchdowns . Wide receivers Andy Cox , Monty Morse and Roger Vessell combined for more than 40 receptions and six touchdowns.

Gal 's Volleyball Improves at UMR The UMR Women's varsity volleyball team ended its 1976 season by hosting the state volleyball tournament. The Miners ran into rugged competition in the seven-team tourney and finished last. Missouri Western won the event and advanced to the regional playoffs.

While the coaching staff and players were bitterly disappointed in the way their season ended, they still were able to improve on last year's 1-8-2 record .

And with a solid corps of veterans returning next year, they are hoping to bring a winning season back to Miner fans.

While the Miners were disappointing in the state tournament, they compiled an outstanding 14-5 season record and were 8-4 in district competition. Coach Annette Caruso installed an advanced 6-2 offense , which gave the women added firepower in only their third year of varsity play. With only two graduating seniors , the Miners hope to become state champions next season.

Swimm ers Compete With Big Boys Coach Bob Pease's defending MIAA champion swimmers opened their sea son in Springfield with a 61-52 win over arch-rival Southwest Missouri .

Senior all -America Bill Orr paced the Miners with victories in the 100 - and 200 -yard freestyle sprints. Freshman Alan Frederick matched Orr 's performance with double wins in the 500 - and I ,OOO -yard freestyle events .

T erry Ryan, sophomore running back, broke th e UMR rushing record with 928 yards in 1976.

T he following night, UMR hosted the Miner Rel ays, one of the biggest swimming m eets in the midwest this season . Southern Illinois-Carbondale won the meet with the Razorbacks of Arkansas placing second. Missouri Columbia was third and Western Kentucky fourth. Small college powers Drury College and Eastern Illinois finished fifth and sixth. UMR placed seventh , an excellen t showing considering the level of competition.

Min er Cagers Hit With Injuries Basketball moves into the sports spotlight as the Miners opened their season against Arkansas College and Harris Teachers College over the Thanksgiving weekend .

Head coach Billy Key is already singing the blues. Ross Klie , 6-4 senior wingman , and Bob Stanley, 6-5 senior forward, were injured in practice and will miss the opening weeks of play . Klie broke his left wrist and will be out at least six weeks . Stanley suffered a knee injury and will miss about three weeks.

"These injuries really hurt us ," Key said. "We were building our team around these two players . Now , at least for these first weeks , we are going to have to go out and just play the best we can . We certainly have our work cut out for us . " Klie scored 12 .6 points per game and averaged 6.9 rebounds . Stanley also averaged more than 12 points a game and was the leading rebounder with 11.4 , second best in the conference.

Stanley needs only 163 more rebounds to become the all-time leading Miner rebounder.

With these two out of the lineup , much of the burden falls on Ron Scroggins, 6-6 junior center , the other returning starter from last year 's defending MIAA champions. He averaged 12.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game .

Terry Buzbee, 6-4 senior wingman , was the sixth man last year and will be a starter this season. He will have to pick up some of the scoring slack left b y the loss through graduation of starters Mark Franklin and Royce Vessell. They averaged 26 points between them and were excellent defensive players .

As if Klie and Stanley's injuries were not enough, Chris Schroeder is also among the walking wounded . Schroeder showed promise as a 6-7 freshman center last year, but has not recovered from knee surgery last spring and his playing status is questionable.

Several returning lettermen and some new faces are competing for a starting role, with Buzbee and Scroggins. But Miner fans are hoping Klie and Stanley will heal quickly and be ready for league competition inJanuary.

Millsap '77,' 'Miner Mystery Story In 1876 , when Thomas H. Millsaps built a model bridge to illustrate his senior thesis at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy , he probably never dreamed it wou ld stil l be around 100 yea rs la ter.

Still intact and showing few signs of age , the bridge is on display in the civil engineering department of Millsaps' a lm a mater , now the University of Missouri Rolla. As a centennial observance , a history of the bridge and its builder is being written and will be placed in the UMR library.

The brown-stained bridge , a latticegirder type, is 30 inches long and built to 1/1 6th scale . It is signed in gilt "Thomas H. Millsaps , '77 , Nov. 1, 1876. " " M.illsaps ' senior thesis was on 'The Maramec Bridge of the St. Louis , Sa lem and Little Rock Railroad , '" says Dr. joseph H. Senne , department chairman. "This was a branch line of the Frisco, wh ich crossed the Maramec at Stee lville and at Cook Station. It is likely that young Millsaps , who had lived at Steelville , Salem and St. james, would have been familiar with both. So we don 't really know which bridge this represents. Neither is now standing. " For 100 years , the bridge has been part of the c ivil engineering department's memorabilia . It has been exhib ited from time to time , used as a mode l in bridge construction classes, or simply relegated to storage. A few months before its centennia l anniversa ry , it ended upon the d esk of J. Kent Roberts , professor of civil engineering and assistant dean of engineering . He became curious about the bridge and its bui lder and began looking for information.

"School records didn 't tell us much ," Professor Roberts reports . " We learned that his guardian was Wi lli am H. Ferguson of Steelville , that he attended grammar school in Salem and ca me to Rolla in 1872 , (just a year after classes started in MSM ) as a prepa ratory student. He then enrolled in civil engineering . We know from his academic record that he was a good student and an officer in the cadet corps. He finished degree requirements in February , 1877 , and graduated , along with two others , the following.lune . "

Most of the information in UMR's history on M ilisa ps came through the effo rts of Ri c ha rd S. Mills , UMR senior history student from St. james, who did the work as a project in one of his socia l studies courses. Mills' major sources of info rmation were files of the Sa lem News a nd Stan ley Scott of Steelville, a grandson of Tom Millsaps ' sister. Scott is Millsaps closest living relative .

"What unfoldedfS a s tory of the founding fathers of two area towns , Salem and Stee lvi lle, and the turmoil of the Civil War , when residents of South Central Missouri were bitterly divided.

Its tragic ending is sti ll a mystery ," Roberts says.

The bridge builder , Thomas H. (for Higginbotham) Millsaps was born in Salem in 1856, the son of joseph W. and Amanda Ann Vaughn Millsaps. The elder Millsaps was a pioneer surveyor , businessman and farmer. Known as the "father of Salem , " he laid out the town and was influ entia l In getting it incorporated.

During the Civi l War , joseph Millsaps was a southern sympathizer involved in guerilla activities. After Union soldiers occupied Rolla and his two brothers and some fr iends were arrested , he went to Oregon County and continued his bushwhacking. He was hunted as an outlaw and fled to Mexico , where he was killed in 1865.

The young widow and her three ch ildren moved to St. j ames. She later married William H. Ferguson of Steelville .

''The parallels between the father and stepfather of young Millsaps are striking, " sa ys Mills. "Ferguson was a lso a surveyor , one of the found ers of Steelville. He had been a ca ptain in the Un ion Army. H e was a lso a farmer and a businessman , one of the original stock- ho lders of the bank . In later years , he held country offices - surveyor , sheriff and collector, assessor and notary public. " Afte r graduation from MSM , Mill¡ saps set up a surveying office, "Tom H. Mil lsaps , Civil Engineer and Surveyor," in Steelville. But after a short time , he went to St. Louis with a friend from co ll ege days to study medicine. On Oct. 28 , 1878 , he withdrew a large amount of money from a St. Louis bank. He was never seen nor heard from again.

There was an extensive investigation by the St. Louis police . Newspapers advertised his description and police contacted other cities , but there was no trace. The police concluded that he had withdrawn the money intending to return to Steelville , but was robbed and murdered and his body disposed of. The case is still listed in St. Louis police records as an unsolved murder. " It is ironic that the tangible record of this outstanding yo ung man , who represented two of the first families of the a rea is a model bridge ," says Professor R oberts. " But the bridge itse lf, built so carefully that it will proba bl y last another 100 years , is perhaps symbolic of the promise of his bri ef a nd tragic life "

On November 1, 1976 , Professor Samuel H. Lloyd died at his home at the John Knox Village in St. Robert.

Faculty colleagues have prepared a memorial to be presented at the next general faculty meeting.

Memorial: Samuel Horace Lloyd Samuel Horace Lloyd was born on December 4, 1896 , at Vincennes, Indiana. He received the Bachelor of Arts degree at DePauw University , Greencastle, in 1918 , and came to the School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1920 as a graduate assistant in English and General Science. He received the degree Master of Science and was appointed I nstructor in English in 1921. He was married in 1922 to Margaret McCaw of Rolla ; their children , Sam Jr. , and Jean , are distinguished graduates of our campus. In subsequent years and in several topical areas , he was advanced to Assistant and Associate Professor , and in 1946 , to Professor. That year, by action of the Board of Curators , the faculties in English , Economics , Psychology and History were consolidated into the Department of Humanities and Social Studies with Professor Lloyd as Chairman. He continued in that post until the 1964 division of the department into the current components. He was appointed Professor Emeritus in 1967 and continued teaching selected classes until 1970.

Professor Lloyd 's teaching career on this campus thus spanned nearly 50 years , apparently the longest tenure of service in the institution 's history. His first decade was one of substantial growth ; the second was an interval of near disaster. At the worst of the Great.

Depression, the enrollment shrank to less than 350 students and this division of the University of Missouri was nearly abandoned. In the post-war years as department chairman and a member of the Policy Committee , Professor Lloyd shared in the recovery that led at last to the emergence of the School of Mines as the second largest undergraduate engineering center in the nation. He also served for many years as faculty advisor to the Student Council's General Lectures committee. His adroit business negotiations in that capacity permitted this campus to enjoy presentations by some of the nation 's most eminent

Sam Lloyd was distinguished by rare skill in the classroom and on the public platform . An articulate , witty, urbane and polished speaker , he was an institution in both the professional functions of the School and the folklore of the community. His sheer joy in the business of living was contagious ... the Rolla Building often rocked with laughter in response to master's recitation of anecdotes. Accurate or apocryphal , Sam 's stories inevitably brought down the house.

a

As chairman , Professor Lloyd displayed an acute sense of proportion. He abhored the elevation of trivia to undue stature . He had no patience for empires or their builde rs. He was quick and decisive in discerning duplicity. Staff decisions were made in direct collaboration with the Dean , the chief administrator of the campus , and Professor Lloyd alwa ys accepted full personal responsibilit y for those decisions. The morning the blue sheets were distributed , he was at his desk , as usual.

Perhaps the finest tribute to Sam Lloyd is the evidence of the imperisha ble lega cy he left to the young people of his classrooms , for it is they who, when they return to this campus as career professionals , so often ask , "Where may I find Sam Lloyd? "

Margaret and Sam Lloyd sold their home in Rolla this summer and bought a n ap a rtment in the John Knox Village in St. Robert , a full care retirement center. Sam had suffered some of the infirmities of age and the Lloyds had decided that they no longer wanted the responsibility of house and lawn care .

Although Rolla would not be the same without the Lloyds as residents , their fri ends understood their desires. They were frequent visitors and Margaret not only maintains her many organization memberships , but is a weekly participant" in a radio program originating from the campus FM station.

Margaret and Sam Lloyd hold an unique place in the m emories of thousands of alumni. Fo r the almost fifty years that Sam was on the facult y, Margaret was his partner. They were popular as chaperons at functions on the campus and they frequentl y opened their home to students and returning alumni . As the Mem orial suggests , Sam was an important figure in bringing entertainment a nd culture to the som etim es bl eak scene on the campus .

The fri ends of Sam and Margaret Lloyd know of the success of thi s effort.

Death came swiftl y to Sam in his home . Margaret will continue to reside there a nd her address is John Knox Village , 1·44 , St. Robert , MO 65583.

She h as asked that memorial expressions be made to the MSM -UMR Alumni Association.

Alumnus Cireu lation The A LUMNUS is published six times per year, February , April, June , August , October, and December. The August A LUMNUS carries a report of the Alumni Annual Fund , the Honor Roll of Donors, and announcements of Homecoming events. The December A LUMNUS carries stories of Homecom ing act ivities, Association reports, and results of elections. The other issues carry general new of alumni a nd the Un iversity.

The publication of the ALUMNUS is financed by gifts to the ALUMNI ANNUAL FUND. Universi ty funds do not pay for the magazine. The Board of Directors of the MSM-UMR Alu mni

Association se ts the circulation policy and these are their guidelines: Each issu e is mailed to all members of the most recent graduating class.

Each issue is distributed to a ll faculty and staff members.

Each issu e is mailed to a ll life members of the Association .

Each issue is mailed to all Uni versit y of Missouri Curators , and University administrators.

The August and Decem ber issues are mailed to a ll a lum ni of record.

T he other issues are mailed to donors to the Alum ni Ann u al Fund, so that the y rece ive six issues after the date of their gift.

T his variation in mai ling lists results in some problems. We get news items in a va rie ty of ways and do not make it a

practice to chec k to see if the news item refers to a d onor to the Fund; that is not a part of the decision of whether to publish it or not. Conseq uentl y, we do publish items whi ch refer to a lumni who are not regular readers of the ALUM¡ NUS. T hey never kn ow . Frequently we get a news item without a ny identifi ca ¡ tion as to the a lumnus involved.

So , if yo u have sent us an item a nd you believe we ha ve ignored it , there a re severa l tests you can make: First , a re you a current donor so that you are on the mai ling list for all issues of the A LUMNUS (you are not current if you ge t Fund ma ilings) and , second , was the item identified so that your name and relationship to U MR was clear. Let us know if we are guilty of missing a newswo rth y item - that is not our intention .
