Development
Counci Adds
U' Relations
By THOMAS HAYDEN
A steady stream of alumni and
friends of the University began
clogging Ann Arbor today for the
Fifth Annual Development Coun-
cil Conference which opened this
morning and will continue through
tomorrow's football game.
The visitors are here to review
the progress made during the past
year by the Council.
Organized six years ago, the
Council attempts to "carry out
three objectives.
Assists 'U'
,It assists in the public relations
of the University, especially in
those aspects which will lead to
improved financial support through
gifts, grants and bequests.
It tries to stimulate further the
interest of alumni and friends of
the University in its development,
and to facilitate this development
by a study of the institution's
needs.
Third, it coordinates the Uni-
versity's special fund-raising pro-
grams.
Fund raising is channeled into
one of two categories: the Michi-
gan Alumni Fund or the Capital
-Gifts Program.
Solicits Gifts
The Alumni Fund attempts to
obtain "modest" size gifts from
alumni and friends, according to
John Sweeney, member of the
Council staff.
Last year a record $270,543 was
collected.
The Capital Gifts Program tries
to raise larger sums, usually from
corporations and foundations,
Sweeney explained.
A sum of $252,000 went to the
University'ffom this program last
year.
A University Needs Committee,
composed of alumni and faculty,
annually reviews the needs of the
institution and determines the
objectives of the Alumni Fund
and the Capital Gifts program.
Money Used
Money collected by the Alumni
Fund has been used to provide
awards for distinguished faculty
service, and provide the president
with an emergency fund.
AlumniFund money is also used
to provide assistance, to students
with financial difficulties and to
maintain out-of-state scholar-
ships.
Objectives of the Capital Gifts
Program have included the provi-
sion of research sponsorships, fel-
lowships and scholarships, equip-
ment for student housing and
foreign student programs.
