The Michigan Daily-Sunday, October 31, 1982-Page 7 Alumni find new home on return to campus By LORETTA THOMAS Alumni coming back to campus for Homecoming found that a lot of things had changed - including the Alumni Center. Hundreds of University alumni and officials gathered this weekend for the formal dedication and ribbon-cutting ceremonies at the new $3.5 million Alumni Center, located just north of the Michigan League. UNLIKE ITS former home in the basement of the Michigan Union, the new center is "a visible reminder of the interest alumni have in the Univer- sity," said Harvey Jacobson, acting vice president for University relations. Continued alumni participation in the University was the theme of Friday's dedication. "Your impact on the University is extremely important to us in an ongoing way," President Harold Shapiro told alumni as he accepted the presentation of the center. The center was financed entirely from donations by University Alumni Association members and other friends of the University, according to Bob Forman, executive director of the alumni association. FORMAN , SAID that as the association expanded, the Union quar- ters became "too cramped." Construc- tion on the new center started in Oc- tober 1980. The association moved into its new headquarters this August. Some have misinterpreted the new center to be an unnecessary expense during a time of financial trouble at the University, Forman said. But he stressed that plans for the building began a decade ago and that the center came well within its projected budget. "The long-run benefits are good," said Jacobson of the center. "The role of alumni donations are not only needed, but now they are needed more than ever."

Great day for Michigan alums By ROB FRANK The sun was shining, the weather was warm,-and the Wolverines trounced the Minnesota Gophers, keeping the Brown Jug in Ann Arbor for another year. It ,was a perfect Homecoming for thousands of University Alumni who came back to Ann Arbor this weekend to remember their campus days. As happens each year at Homecoming, a number of University alumni slipped back into their college days, playing in the alumni band during the game, or struggling to remember old cheers in the alumni cheerleading squad. But most just came to enjoy the game and to visit old campus haunts. THE GAME'S halftime show featured a medley of performances by both the alumni band and the present marching band. Fans erupted with ap- plause when the combined bands played "Temptation," a traditional football game favorite. "I just love that song," said Micky Kursman, an alum- nus from South field, "I just love wat- I ching the alumni play," said Barbara Robinson, of West Bloomfield. One alumnus, Alex Martin, who was a member of the Alpha Delta Phi frater- nity before graduating in 1950, came back this weekend from Dallas, Texas, but seemed disappointed with the ban- ds' selections. "They (the band) don't play 'Varsity' anymore," he said. "When I played basketball here it was ne of our fightsongs and, well, I miss it." To many, Homecoming was a chance to see how the University had changed over the years. Stan Brown, who graduated in the class of 1952, returned to Ann Arbor from Grand Rapids to find the fraternity he had belonged to had disappeared. "It just isn't there," he said. DWANE DEEM, of the class of '51, was surprised by the new buildings dotting the campus. "As far as I can see that's the only change, the student's spirit's still the same and my spirit's still the same," said Deem, who came from Columbus, Ohio for the game. Another alumnus, a graduate of the class of 1916, claimed to have only missed 12 games sinc ehis graduation. "This game sure makes up for the one in 1961, when we lost in the last seconds, he said. Mary Riggs, who graduated in 1921, traveled from Salina, Oklahoma for the matchup. "This has been a perfect weekend," she said. "We've had a marvelous time." Riggs, whose grandfather was an engineering professor here, proudly explained her family's deep roots at the University. "My son's a graduate of the class of '58, my daughter-in-law is an alumnus, and six other member of my family have attended Michigan." At least one of the University's current students was sure about the implications of yesterday's victory. Lilly Handler, a pom-pom girl and member of the class of 1982, said "We've really got a lot of spirit, and the alumni add a lot to that. I think we're going to the Rose Bowl."

The association has given a total of $100 million to the University since 1953, with 32 percent of all alumni actively contributing, according to Joel Berger, director of University Information Ser- vices. Its level of contributions wAs rated highly in a recent survey of peer institutions conducted by the Council for Financial Aid to Education. Forman spoke for the association when he said, "Alumni should play a strong role in supporting the Unive - sity." Those alumni attending opening ceremonies expressed pride in the new center. "It's a sense of unity for the alumni," said one alumnus. Another called it a symbol for alumni returning to campus. Other dedication events at the center include an open house today from p.m. to 5 p.m. A leadership conference, which will be attended by Gov. William Milliken, is planned for Monday.

"The Bureau exists because of the University's leadership in the 1940's," he said. The Bureau and the School of Education are now sponsoring a series of forums on the problem of orienting teachers to new technologies in their field, Keane said. Keane also said the school has been "a source of pride, inspiration, and hope for minorities." Stacy Sanders, who received a master's degree in physical education from the University in 1977, cited decreasing minority enrollment throughout the University and said education "has led other units in enrollment and retention of minority students."

Subscribe to The Michigan Daily Shoemaker-Kusko Testing P'eparation Services Three of the eight review committee members were not even present yesterday, one student charged, and those that were there didn't seem in- terested in the speakers' comments. The fact that over one third of the committee wasn't present at the hearing "raises some serious questions," said John Fitzpatrick, a senior in the school. "It doesn't seem like any input is being taken by the committee," but that they are treating the hearings as a necessary formality. Professors Billy Evans, Rowena Mat- thews, and Marilyn Shatz, who sit on the review committee, were out of town yesterday and were unable to attend the hearings. Committee Chairman John Romani said that the busy schedues of committee members would make it impossible to have, the entire group present at any of the four public hearings. He said it is always dif- ficult to assemble a group of faculty members, who are busy with a wide range of responsibilities.
