A maize-and-blue
for maize-andbiu
By LISA CRUMRINE
The word "alumni" conjures up
images of maize and blue clad rah-rah
Michigan fans raving about how life
was when they were undergraduates.
Maybe so, but alumni do a lot more
than cheer on football Saturdays, said
Bob Forman, executive director of the
University Alumni Association. Alum-
ni play an increasingly important role
in the support of the University, For-
man said.
For example, he added, 50 percent of
the buildings on campus came from
alumni gifts to their alma mater.
AND NOW ALUMNI will have a
campus building to call their own.
The half-completed structure on the
corner of Fletcher and Washington
streets is the new alumni center. The
facility will have meeting rooms and of-
fice space and will be used for both
alumni and student functions.
"We feedI that the building is impor-
tant as a physcial recognition of alumni
on campus," said Forman.
The new alumni center was designed
by architect Hugh Jacobson, an inter-
nationally renowned architect from the
Georgetown area of Washipgton, D.C.
Forman said Jacobson has designed
several buildings at other college cam-
puses blending together old and new
architecture.
"It was a challenge totry to design a
building to be a good neighbor with the
surrounding buildings - the League,
Rackham and Hill Auditorium," said
Forman.
Construction on the building began
last winter and is expected to be com-
pleted in May 1982.
Even though the building seems
large, it has only about 18,000 square
feet. The principal room is a large
meeting room that can be divided into
four small rooms, each with a fireplace.
The building's interior color scheme
will be maize and blue. Dark blue wall
carpeting will cover the two-story high
walls and a blue and gold motif will
decorate the carpeting. The Univer-
sity's interior decoration office
designed the alumni center interior.'
Forman noted that in addition to ser-
ving alumni, the center also will serve
students.

"We are eager that it will be used by
students," he said. "In fact, one of the>:
reasons for its unusual shape was to
maintain the pathway which students ,-,
use to get from Hill Auditorium toward
Power Center. We want students to*
know there is an alumni center - to.;
have them feel involved with the:;
building."
