Figures for the annual giving of alumni to the Alumni Fund for the calendar year 1969 show a drop both in amount received and number of donors. OveralL however. 14.393 alumni ga ve $1.321.582.26. to the University. a record to be proud of.
Donors Amount Alumni Fund 10.840 $249.029.41 Special Projects Program 493 20.549.50 Law School Fund and Scholarship Program 735 117.815.00 Medical Foundation 1.500 37.500.00 U of M Foundation · 77 638.132.00 Regents 748 258.556.36
Totals 14.393 $1.321.582.26
• Includes only alumni donors - pledges are not included.
The Alumni Fund raised $249.029.41. down $66.420.02 or 21 percent from a year ago. Subtracting the $100.000 bequest received last year. the alumni annual giving program actually showed a $33.580 increase.
The total number of gifts for 1969 was 10.840. down 1.439 or a 11.71 percent decrease. The only reason apparent is dissatisfaction about student happenings on college campuses everywhere .
The per capita gift dropped from $25.69 in 1968 to $22.97 in 1969. Likewise alumni participation went from 12.52 percent in 1968 to 10.84 percent in 1969.
The number of donors has grown rapidly the last six years - but the actual percentage of those participating is still very small. In 1969. 10.84 percent participated with a per capita gift of $22 .97. As to what to give we suggest a gift of a minimum of $1.00 per year for each year out of the University. If out one year - give a dollar. if out ten years give $10. if out 35 years give $35 - and so on. Many alumni are now following this p lan. It is a very modest plan. well within the grasp of a ll alumni. While our number of donors is not great. with just a few more. Minnesota could join the honor role of the top ten universities in the country as regards number of donors.

The 10 schools with the greatest number of donors are: 31,129 Ohio State University

Last year (1969) - rather than sending out a brochure to each college group concerning their own college projects, a single combined piece was mailed which listed all the various projects of the Alumni Fund. In this way the number of appeals to each alumnus was cut down while at the sarne time the alumnus could give to the project of his choice. The only other mailing sent out was in support of the Freshman Scholarship Program. Also a mailing was made to the IS classes, from 1920 through 1935. So at most, alumni received only two requests for funds.
To all of you who gave to one of the projects of the Alumni Fund, our sincere thanks and appreciation.

n's inhumanity to himself and his environment. · · sl wly destroying a nation's resources and health
YOUR AUTOMOBILE is a major producer of air pollutants: from America ' s 80 million plus automobiles come more than one·half of all of our atmospheric wastes. The fumes that spew from your cor's exhaust pipe are a complicated mixture of poisons, created because the internal combustion engine cannot burn all of the fuel that it receives. These fumes are pocked with a danger that can become worse when, on a warm day, the sun shines on the mixture of hydrocarbons and nitrogen dioxide creating new and even more harmful products - ozone and the eye-burning compound called PAN . This complex chemical interaction resu lts in smog. And though large diesel - or gasoline-powered trucks and buses also add to the problem, automobiles and light trucks are the major offenders simply because they constitute approximately 95 percent of all vehicles on our roadways.
THIS BIG, BLACK HUMP IN THE MISSISSIPPI, below the Third Avenue bridge, was first thought by many Twin Citians to be a coal pile, but what resembles a block monster rising out of the river is in fact a monster: the snow and ice poured by city snow removal equipment into the river, to eventually melt and disperse its collection of streetlitter and chemical wastes into the waters that serve as a source of drinking supplies for a number of Minnesota communities .
THE AMOUNT OF WASTES poured doily into our oir throughout the United States is almost unbelievable - 390,000 tons every 24 hours. These wastes come from hundreds of different pollutants and millions of different sources of pollution . America 's chimneys and factories pours sulfur compounds into the air, as the stocks from the University's heating plant can be seen doing on the opposite page. Wherever large amounts of heavy fuel oil and cool are burned , tons of sulfur oxide pollutes the air we breath and increases in amount as fuel consumption increases . The sulfur compound not only damages many things around us - crops, certain flowers and trees, buildings and statutes - but, most of all , is a hazard to our own health . COMMON WATER POLLUTION, left middle, has been photographed recently at Minnesota's Lake Minnetonka . Tires and tin cans litter a lakeshore that has become an eyesore . And its water? Rapidly being con taminated by human " garbage" that is making it unfit for swimming and as a drinking water source. LAND POllUTION, lef t bottom, is all around us . It not only affects us visually, but also as to land useage. This rubble , the discarded remains of buil d ing demolition on the Mississippi River near the University, has rendered on area of land useless th rough its presence. And though it may eventually disintegrate and go bock into the soil , the chem ical decomposition of its ingredients may couse irreparable harm to the land on which it lies .

"\ wanted to point th way to an economic anti-pollution stmcture," the regent said.
"If th farm r can conomically proces or dehydrate "u ed grain" - what w call manme - and use it to grow another crop of grain, all people will gain economically in th end.
"But the a ribusines y terns of today make pollution profitable."
RauenllOr t him elf penalized, through greatl, increa ed property taxes, for building an anti-pollution tmcture while other profit-Oriented farmers all over
the country dump hea" application of chemical fertilizer, herbicide and pe ticid s onto the land, using farm practices that de troy both land and environm nt.
'The e practic are not ta\ed and in ffect the farmer is re' ard d for de tructi e way . . .
"While th chemicals are applied th~t de troy the land, water and air manure - the valuable by-product of the fe ding indu try - i regarded a waste."
Rauenhor t doe e not regard manure nor ludge, nor garbaa , as wast . His innovative feeding and antipollution bam for cattl is r ality. Hi ne, plans to utilize fli and other OIaani ms to r cycle waste are part of his continuou pm uit of method to deal with th growing problems of environmental abuse.

A student volunteer run-in Pollution Report Center (PRC) opened in the University's Coffman Union on January 26 to add encouragement to public involvement in the nation-wide Environmental Teach-In scheduled for April 22.
The Center 's functions include -• The receipt and investigation by PRC
volunteers of pollution reports. • Collection of pollution reports in order to
build files for use in informing lawmakers and the public of current environmental vi olations. Information gathered will be presented at the April Teach-In , and lists of pollution offenders will be published by the Center.
• Working with Students for Environmental Defense to create a " Polluter of the Month" award . Although the form of the award has yet to be determined it will be presented to the individual , company, institution or industry creating the most pollution in a month.
• Serving as an information center for people with questions about pollution laws, controls and effects. Pamphlets and reprints on val ious forms of pollution, city pollution ordinances, available speakers on pollution topics and bibliographies of printed matter concerned with pollution can be obtained at the Center.
• Providing " pollution complaint cards" to interested persons so that polluters may be reported to the Center by mail.
Karim Ahmed, co-chairman of the Environmental Teach-In committee whose 50 student members staff PRC, said that the Center receives 20 to 25 complaints and questions each day. Most questioners ask for general information , like what is the best way to dispose of garbage, or what kind of detergent is the least polluting. PRC has a roster of qualified personnel from the University available to answer questions as they arise. The Center 's telephone number is 373-0342.
The University itself is often reported as a pollution offender by callers , Ahmed said . Smokestacks and dormitory incinerators are cited in the student complaints.
The Center also receives its share of crank callers complaining about such things as " mind pollution" by newspapers.
" We listen to them. They' re just letting off steam," Ahmed, a research assistant in the University's department of laboratory medicine said . ' . For those just seeking basic general Information about pollution, the Environmental Research and Information Center (ERIC) , an offshoot of PRC, has also opened. Many high
r R H, 1970
school students doing term papers, among others, often visit the second Center's basement location in the Southeast Branch Library, 1222 Southeast Fourth Street. To accommodate their requests, ERIC has organized a library solely on pollution information . Many of the books, reports , magazines and pamphlets were obtained from the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency.
Following through on pollution complaints by tak ing effective action to end them is the hardest part of PRC's job, Ahmed said. The Center has no way to punish polluters, but PRC reports are reaching interested lawmakers, alerting the leg islators to pollution problems and perhaps starting some leg islative act ion on controls.
Tom Griffin , the other co-chairman of the Teach-In committee , said that the activities of the University 's Festival of Life Week, of wh ich the Teach-In will be the highlight, are just the beg innings of the student attention which will be given to environmental issues. Bringing environmental matters to public attention, and offering proposals to legislators that are workable and that can be translated into political action are the aims of the Festival of Life Week. Griffin said that the allocation of the nation 's monetary resources is one of the main considerations to be brought before lawmakers.
The Teach-In is an attempt, Griffin continued to find " the highest common denominator of the ' people interested in problems of the environment and to see how much 'ecological conscience ' ' the community has."
The Teach-In is an attempt, he said to " move from nowhere to somewhere."
The pollution issue is not the only goal involvement of PRC. " It is a lifestyle that we are attacking ," Griffin said . " Environmental issues are a variation on the anti-war movement. Both the war and pollution are destroying our world .
" We are trying to get at the middle American way of life . These people are mostly too patriotic to be against the war, but this (the environmental issue) is someth ing that directly affects them - pretty soon they won't be able

THE FOCUS IS

"The clinwte of the times i international. More people are traveling, and even tho e u;ho do not travel outside of the United State ar ha ing increo ina oppoltunity to meet peopl from other countries.
"If our students and faculty are to be adequately preparecl to function, not only as professional working with va rious aspects of fa mil y concc1'llS, iJut also as informed citizen, we need to incorporate more emphasis of an intercultural-international nature in the programs and acti ities of our chool of Home Economics." - Dr. Louise tedmon director of the School of Hom e Economics

Hom economics is long pa t the stag of major emphasis on hom making kill. It tudy, based on an under tanding of the balanc b etween man's natur as a 0 ial being and hi r lation to hi imm diat ph)' ical environment, requir s a great r knowl dg of th vast panoply of cultural patterns in th world and how they affect th value and actions of p eople, and an incr ased sensitivity to the n ed of cultural minorities h re and abroad.
'Without such cultural und r tanding, the hom economist of the future may b unabl to act upon 1 r apabiliti to add man' B h to his food sel ctions, ating patt ms, clothing, helter, hild raring and

Football, that sport which requires perfection of the body and dexterity of the mind, that pastime which reigns supreme, that recreation which is the youngest of the greater major athletics, is played by the " Giants of the North" with skill and sportsmanship that is unsurpassed.
THE ALL-TIME GOPHER TEAM S NOW and ice have covered the gridiron arenas of Big Ten Football since it began its one hundredth year of sports spectacular in 1969. Yet, as the cover is beginning to melt, alumni and the fans ' memories of those first hundred years are yet strong , though their minds are thinking ahead to the 1970 season that will open the second hundred years of collegiate football.
As part of the commemoration of that first one hundred years of intercollegiate rivalry , alumni and friends of the Big Ten schools balloted , individually, to choose their All-Time Team and AIITime Great Football Player.
The University of Minnesota's ballots have been counted , cast by Minnesota alumni and fans of the Maroon and Gold from the Atlantic to the Pacific coasts of the United States. And the Alumni News is proud to announce the All-Time Gopher Football Team and the All-Time Great Gopher Football Player for those first one-hundred years of sports ' competition - as you have chosen them .
Ballots were made available by the University of Minnesota Alumni News, University football programs and the Rochester (Minnesota) Post-Bulletin , edited by alumnus Charles H. Withers '49BA Journ .
The Golden Gopher players who made the AIITime line-up span almost two decades of excitement and color on the Minnesota gridiron .
And some of the alumni voters could not resist commenting on their ballots :
" (I) have seen all of the above (list of Minnesota consensus All-Americans) play except McGovern and Baston."
" I will have to slight the lads from 1909 to 1916, before my time! Have seen games since 1923."
" The All-Time Great is impossible to choose! " " Please let me add the name of Bernie Bierman
to coach this (All-Time) team." " Good Lord , man, no one can leave Bobby Mar
shall out at end! " The tally for the All-Time Great Gopher Player
was over-whelmingly for the " Nag". And alumni commented that he could " play any position superlatively" or " was best at fullback."
Another said that if he " had a choice for second All-Time Great, it would be Johnny McGovern ."
Yet another alumnus said of a defensive tackle
I R II, 1970
who ranked th ird as the selection for the All-Time Great Gopher Player - " Bobby Bell made Minnesota defense exciting. "
A Minnesota alumnus known for his vast playby-play knowledge of Gopher Football throughout years of compet ition and one who has authored books on the Golden Gophers, wrote :
" There should be some sort of award for a guy like Pug Lund. He didn 't have the tools to be a great kicker or passer, but performed those jobs well along with his great power runn ing and tremendous competitive spirit. As the player who played up to every bit of his potential and talents, there was none greater. "
And he added that the " greatest Gopher team has to be the 1934 Gophers."
An outstand ing Minnesota player was among those who voted.
Clarence " Biggie" Munn , 1931 All-American guard and currently coach of the East Lansing Michigan State Big Ten team , not only is noted as a player during his collegiate years - showing the versat i le talents of an excellent offensive guard, team punter and strong passer - but also as a Hall of Fame coach carrying Coach of the Year honors.
Munn 's ballot for the All-Time Gopher Team named Baston and Larson at ends ; Munn , Widseth , Nomellini , Tonnemaker and Wildung as linemen ; and Nagurski , Lund, Daley and Franck at the back positions. Nagurski was Munn 's choice as the AIITime Great Gopher Player.
Along with two other Minnesotans, " Biggie" Munn was named to the Football News All-Time All-American Team in 1969. The second Golden Gopher was Ed Widseth , 1936 All-American tackle, of whom Football News said :
". . . he quickly caught the eyes of the (Minnesota) coaches. It wasn 't so much that he weighed over 230 pounds and was e tremely strong : it was his very quick start and unusual speed for his size . As a sophomore, he immediately moved in as a strong first tackle across from Phil Bengston, present Green Bay Packer coach and along with All-American guard Bill Bevan and All-American end Butch Larson.
" This was the 1934 team , considered the greatest in Minnesota history, and still nationally refer-
~1
red to as about the most powerful team ever on the field. The following year, he and fellow tackle Dick Smith, both made consensus All-American the only time one team dominated the tackle posi~ tion in one year. These were the peak years of coach Bernie Bierman and his Golden Gophers. The team hadn 't lost since 1932."
And the final Minnesotan named to the Footbail News All-Time Team was - inevitably - Bronko Nagurski :
" It cannot be said of many men of sports that their names became a part of our American language, but this can be said of Bronko Nagurski. Even today, 40 years after his collegiate career and 26 after his last Chicago Bears game, his name is used to mean colossal strength, inhuman power and reckless propulsion , a Neanderthal animalism against mere Cro-magnons. When some scribe writes about the legends of this game, he will devote chapters to th is man. Even today, in his mid-60's, he is a huge hulk, neckless, with long sinewy arms and meathooks of hands . . . "
The " Nag 's" honors have been many, throughout his sports career, and after his retirement. He is not only the All-Time Great Gopher Football Player , but also won a position on the All-Time Gopher Football Team.
Your All-Time Gopher Football Team - as you chose the players - includes in its line-up, and showing their years of play for the University of Minnesota, is :
End End Lineman Lineman Lineman Lineman Lineman *Back Back Back Back
Frank (Butch) Larson Bert Baston Bronko Nagurski Leo Nomellini Bobby Bell Clayton Tonnemaker Ed Widseth Bruce Smith (deceased) Paul Giel Francis (Pug) Lund Herb Joesting (deceased)

All -Time Great Gopher Football Player - 8ronko Nagurski.
According to the balloting , the second team would include, at the end positions, Aaron Brown and Ray King ; at the lineman slots, Carl Eller, Clarence (Biggie) Munn, Bud Wilkinson , Dick Wi 1-dung and Tom Brown ; at back positions, George Franck, Johnny McGovern, Bronko Nagurski and Sandy Stephens. There was a tie between Bruce Smith and Paul Giel as first runner-ups for AIITime Great Gopher Player.
They are all men , who one Minnesota alumnus wrote , " could play two or more positions in the All-American style! "
22
ALL·TIME GREAT GOPHER FOOTBALL PLAYER Bronko Nagurski is said to have bee n discovered by Minnesota Coach Doc Spears when he lost his way in the country and stopped to ask a farm boy for directions. After that boy pointed th e way with his plow, Spears brought him to the University .
Bronko was not strictly a fullback . In his three years at Minnesota he played end, fullback on offense and tackl e on defense . His reputation was greatest for his tackle ploy and he reached All -American status in that position . One of the All -American se lections during his collegiate years put him at both tackle and fullback on a 10-mon team - the first and only time any player was honored in this way .
His two greatest games are said to have been against Notre Dome in 1927 and Wisconsin in 1928 .
Bronko hit the Notre Dome fullback so hard in the 1927 game that he fumbled the boll . Minnesota recovered, and three ploys later passed for a touchdown and eventual 7-7 tie .
In the 1928 Madison contest Bronko started at fullback against the Badge rs despite the two fractured vertebrae he hod suffered in a gam e the week before . He carried the boll five out of six tim es from the Badger 17-yard line to lead the Gophers to a 6-0 win that cost Wisconsin the championship . And , on defense, Bronko knocked down a pass in the end zone that would have tied the score for Wisconsin , if not given them th e victory.
Said to be th e only professional played who ron his own interference, Bronko achieved instant fame as fullback for the Chicago Bears and was th e most feared inside runner in the pro game.

DAVE SHAMA'S I GOPHER
TALES T he first time I met Gopher center Larry Mikan I was suspicious. He had this image as a spoiled kid .
His dad was Mr. Basketball and George saw to it that Larry never went hungry. Hunger pangs were as foreign to him as speed must have been to Mary Baker Eddy.
His first two seasons at the University Larry wheeled around campus in a fancy sports car and might as well have been on a racing scholarship for his contribution to Gopher basketball.
Then came a man named Bill Fitch to coach Gopher basketball. Bi ll Fitch knows about hunger pangs, he knows nothing about sports cars.
He took one look at Mikan and knew there
L I EWS
was going to be trouble . He also knew that he had a great player if Larry would play with the desire of a boy from Fitch 's side of the tracks.
Last year was Mikan 's jun ior season in eligibility, but in reality he was only a freshman . He was to learn that Fitch expects 100 percent effort for three hours on the basketball floor seven days a week.
At first he didn 't get an hour. " Mikan !" Fitch would scream. " Move, Larry," he wou ld Implore.
The yelling was so loud that it 's rumored President Moos had to close his door in Morrill Hall.
At times Mikan closed his, too. He would su lk and wonder why Fitch picked on him.
Fitch had an answer. " Because Larry Mikan could be as great as
any of the outstanding basketball players of the 1960's. The Bill Bradleys, Cazzie Russells, etc. Larry could play with them."
It hasn 't been easy on Fitch or Mikan , but the transition of the Gopher cente r into a truly top player is unfolding. You won 't read of Mikan making any all-American teams and he may not be all-Big Ten , but Fitch knows he has something special.
" I'd be a fool to tell you Mikan is as good as he's going to be," he said, " but right now he's the most underrated pro prospect in the country. He has all the physical ability to be an outstanding pro. He can be as good as he wants to be."
That's a lot of compliment, but the facts bear Fitch out. Mikan has led the Big Ten in rebounding for most of the year and averaged over 17 points per game.
At 6-8 there are few college or pro forwards who have his quickness and jumping ability.
" His mobility and agility allow him to do things that George never thought of," Fitch said.
And so it must be as Fitch says, as far as he wants to go. I know that he wants to be a great player.
Four years later I no longer regard him with suspicion. He's a nice person who has learned that there are such things as wood sheds and scolding individuals. And when used properly they can make for better people and players.
" I know that at times I ve pouted some in games and practice," Mikan said . " But I do care about the team and improving my game. I want to make it in pro basketball. I think I can."
Whether or not he does will be a reflection on how much he 's changed. He 's come far enough now so that no one should doubt that he could do it.
" Larry 's made progress, ' Fitch said . " I can say he's a competitor. I COUldn 't always say that. "
Chalk up another racing car driver missing . This one, however, wasn 't lost, he was saved.

to breathe the air, and they will have to do something about it."
The environment-oriented movement is a political movement, Griffin said , and those in it are trying to change national priorities. New political candidates will be forthcoming who will change the way the national government spends its money if the movement is successful , he said . These candidates won 't let over 50 percent of the national budget go for defense ; they will keep the nation from killing itself, Griffin said.
" We're really a radical movement and nobody knows about it yet ," he continued . Those in the new movement are interested not only in pollution , he said , but in changing the American way of life - to make the American lifestyle nonconsumptive, therefore less pollutive.
Griffin said that his first priority is working to end the war and that most of the students he works with on the Teach-In committee feel the same way. But Griffin is pessimistic about today 's chances of ending the war.
He thinks that the current administration is trying to divert student activism to environmental problems - mainly pollution. However, he has found that most of those students actively involved in the new environmental issues realize this and really feel that the war issue still has first priority.
The nationwide April 22 Teach-In was initiated by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson and California Representative Paul McCloskey. The University's Environmental Teach-In committee will sponsor a week 's worth of activities centered around "Earth Day," the Wednesday on which the Teach-In is to be held.
ALUMNAE SCHOLARSHIP TEA
The tentative schedule includes, early in the week, an outdoor display of models of buildings for " living in harmony" with the environment. The models are to include such futuristic plans as geodesic domes in which man will live.
On Wednesday, April 22, from 10:00-12 :00 a.m., a rally featuring the reading of an " environmental declaration of interdependence and bill of rights" will take place on the Minneapolis campus . During the afternoon a teach-in, that is expected to include 20 minute speak-outs by a variety of personalities from the Twin Cities ' area and around the country, will be held. In the evening, a workshop session, open to the public , will forge specific action proposals on sUbstantative issues concerning the environment. These are the proposals that will be delivered to legislators. The workshop will be held throughout the Teach-In week, during the afternoon and evening.
On Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m., Paul Ehrlich will deliver the keynote address. He is author of The Population Bomb, a controversi al book about possible political and ecological catastrophes that could happen as a result of overpopUlation. More workshops will be held later in the evening.
Robert Sinsheimer of the California Institute of Technology will speak on genetic engineering on Friday, April 24.
A day of interaction between local high school students and the University is scheduled for Saturday in order to form a collective statement from high school-age students who are concerned about their environment. Teach-In planners hope to interest attending high schoolers in an ongoing movement and involvement. A rock festival will punctuate the evening.

What is the purpose of an alumni association? This question is raised from time to time by alumni in response to membership or fund requests.
Often they infer that the alumni office is interested in all things unimportant - and then most often they mention football and class reunions.
No doubt their image of alumni is as is often portrayed in the motion pictures, that of the old college grad, in a racoon coat waving a college banner, or an alumni reunion with those present wearing silly hats and making out like they are not old grads. That's not a picture of today's alumni - if it ever was. Both football and reunions have a proper place in an alumni program. Football is the one great common denominator, and when our football team does well, there is a general increase in alumni spirit and support; likewise a gathering of alumni, a reunion for instance, is an important channel of communication with a particular segment of the alumni body, a way to get alumni back to the campus and to think about the University.
Actually the work of the alumni association, its many programs and activities are guided by objectives as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation of the Association - the overall objective being the support of the University and its many needs.
While Association objectives are clearly defined in its articles of incorporation, it is true that they have not been widely disseminated. Therefore, the question raised is a valid one - what is the purpose of the alumni association?
Article II of the Articles of Incorporation states that the purpose of the Minnesota Alumni Association, Incorporated is:
• To cooperate in maintaining the University of Minnesota's leadership among American universities.
• To assist in securing every reasonable financial support that the needs of the University of Minnesota require.
• To support the administration of the University of Minnesota in carrying out its educational policies and program of service to the people of the State of Minnesota.
• To keep graduates and former students adequately and correctly informed regarding the affairs of the University of Minnesota.
• To develop a program of cooperation with alumni of the University of Minnesota, who, as individuals or groups, desire continuing educational service such as may be made available through the departments of the University of Minnesota.
AL 1 IE\\',
• To work toward broadening educational opportunity for youth through the sponsorship of a
scholarship program.
• To lend support to worthy student projects and activities and to assist students of the University of Minnesota in every way possible.
• To bring alumni back to the University of Minnesota campus as often as possible through planning and arranging special programs, events, occasions, meetings, reunions and the like.
• To sponsor and develop University of Minnesota Alumni chapters throughout the state and nation so as to bring the University to its alumni.
• To provide the opportunity for graduates of the University of Minnesota for annual giving to the University through the Alumni Fund.
• To bring service and educational programs to the University of Minnesota alumni body not otherwise obtainable.
• In furtherance of the foregoing purposes, to accept. receive. hold, invest. reinvest. manage and administer gifts, legacies. bequests. devices , funds and property of any kind or nature , without limitation as to amount or value; to use. employ. apply. expend and disburse. by donation or otherwise. the income and principal thereof. exclusively for the express purposes of this corporation.
These objectives guide the many alumni programs and activities sponsored by the Minnesota Alumni Association. the Department of Alumni Relations and the Alumni Fund. Such programs are evaluated each year, and new and b e tter ways to achieve objectives are constantly being developed.

POLITICALL Y ...
the aflluent alumnus is a Re
publican and voted as such in
the 1968 election - though he
usually did not vote a straight
party ticket. He should favor
the same party in the 1972
national election, although he
tends to as yet be undecided.
He is not an active worker
for his political party, and al
though his political, social and
economic thinking is about the
same as when he attended the
University, he is tending to
become more liberal.

EDUCATIONALLY . ..
the affluent alumnus usually
holds an undergraduate de
gree, but has continued his
education in a variety of formal
ways since leaving the Uni
versity. He will probably work
toward an advanced degree.
He has returned to the Univer
sity frequently since gradua
tion, most often to visit but
also to attend classes, seminars
and meetings related to his
work. He has joined the Minne

main, to support the University

APRIL, 1970
The decade of the 70' should see us doing e\'ez;'thing possible as re ponsible citizens to brillu the various races into the American society as first-clas citizens. \Ve have no choice - it is only human and it is in the best intere ts of om society.
econdly, we have a large group, a growing group of di sident college students throuuhout the nited tates. \Vhy are the e tudent rebelling? Fortune mauazine attributes their actions to the fact that economic pressure has been removed. Theirs i a pecialldnd of rebellion - a hort-cut to involvement.
In om stru Ie for financial well-being, we have created an affiuence in which most of the student todav do not ha\'e the economic pre w-es of th tudent of ~'esterday.
The number of college tudent ha doubled in the last ten rear to reach 6,700,000. I olation is gone. The ivy walls have been tom down. minority ha become much more vocal becau e of number alone~ But, there are more reason.

Th di ident colleg students see th e and many other dangerous to th ir actual existence and believ our gen ration i totally complacent. Consequently to t11 m, and particularly to the real dissid nt , anything goes - the nd justifi s the means. Th y don't know how to get to th nd, but know that om thing ha to happen. All they know i that unles things change - there i no futme.
The thi.rd group - the teacher or educator - are also oncem d with their own w II-being. At the present time,
it is impos ible to read a morning paper that doe n't r lat th story of college faculty I ading stud nt in a revolt again t the very institution to which they supposedly hav d dicated their knowledge and th ir efforts.
It is almo t equally impossible to read a morning pap r that do sn't tell of school tach rs striking even though the contracts they signed willingly are still legally and morally in £Fect.
These educators see thems lves as second class citizens with no future - with no influ nce - with no prestig .
In Russia and other totalitarian countries, teachers rate at the top of the economic and social ladders, both in influence and in compensation. In thi country th y rank well down. They are not paid a much. They are not given as much r sponsibility in the community. And they are Dot looked upon a the leaders of society.
Fomth is the clergy. Th y, too, are confused and looking for direction. They ar conc m d about the future and concern d about the appar nt loss of church inlluenc .
Yow1ger m mbers of the clergy, particularly, are joining r volutionary movements on very front, banishing semblances of fiscal and reasonable responsibility, and d dicating th mselves to what they believe is nee ssary revolution to help the poor and down-trodden. Instead of Fe ding souls, they are formenting revolution.
Th fifth group rebelling against our society is f ding on the sympathi s and frustrations of the others. This is a very mall, w ll-trained, highly intellig nt group of r volutionists dedicated to play on the ills of our society and to do everything possibl to over-throw all of our institutions, including our govemm nt.
Call them communists if you lik , but don't underrat them.
A sixth group that really has the r sponsibility for th social r vo lution today is us ... th immediate r action of many of you would be to say, "I have never in my life done on thing about leading a rebellion in this country."
That is true, but on the oth r hand, too many of us would have to admit that we haven't done one thing about stopping it either.

WHAT IS YOIJR REACTION?
No legal requirement found for ROTC at Minnesota
Program may receive vocational rather than academic status
University could determine ROTC courses, stripping some of academic credit
UNIVERSITY MAY MOVE TO "CONTROL" ROTC PROGRAM AND STATUS
THE Hag-b aring military honor guard, traditionally a paIt of Univ r ity comm ncem nt cer monie , was absent at th spring e ercises on farch 21.
t a pre s bricfing arli r that day, Univ rsity President Moos had said th at a Univer ity committ recently r commend d the removal of military displays from University functions, and that h had asked ROTC officials if th color guard would participat without tll rifle they traditionally carry. The ROTC officials said that their unit would not, under thos conditions. And University faculty members were designat d for the color guard.
The committee of which Moos spoke was one, compris d of nine faculty m mb rs and fi ve student , speCially called by him to study University-ROTC r lationships 11 months ago. Its r port to th Un iv rsity pr ident was mad public on March 11.
This r port not d that "th re is no I gal r quir m nt for ROTC at an institution such as the Univ rsity of Minnesota which an b deriv d from the Morrill Act of 1862."
Th Morrill Act's purpose was to stabli h at least on coil g in each
state that would tach, among oth r subj cts, "military tactics".
"There i nothing which states
22
how 'milit~lly tactic' would be taught, or by whom," th r poIt not s.
Th committe al 0 found that th r wa nothing in th f d ral or militar r poIts and agr m nt r lating to ROTC that oblig. t colI ge and univer iti s to ha e a ROTC program.
The r port offered eight r comm ndations that would apply to
rmy, Navy and ir For ROTC on the Twin Cities campu and th Air Forc ROTC on th Duluth campus, and maintain th program on th campu s in an alt r d form.
Th committe recomm nd d the continuation of th progr. m at th
niversity for two ba ic r a ons : th b Ii f th at the Univ r ity " arri s a cl ar r pon ibility to do all it an to n ur that a compon nt of military offic rs have 'p ri n d th b st w an off r in high r education"; and, th b li f that tll

As the Alumni News goes to press, four persons charged with breaking into the criminal justice studies' office on March 6 must file pre-plea motions before April 6. A fifth defendent, who claims to be indigent because he lost his job as a University teaching assistant, has been assigned to a public defender and will enter a plea March 26. All five defendents were charged with six separate counts in an indictment returned recently by the Hennepin County Grand Jury - aggravated criminal damage to property, rioting, interference with the use of public property, simple arson and two counts of unlawful assembly.
" A Mindless Act of Vandalism " "The University will take ev ry step n cessary to s e to it that appropriate charges are brought against those involv d," University Pr sident Malcolm Moos said on March 6 after seeing the damag caus d to the West Bank offic of the D -partm nt of Criminal Justice Studies (CJS) about an hour aft r 15 to 20 "d monsh'ators" ran ack d the office on the first Hoor of the Social S i nccs building.
In what Moos call d an "act of mindless vandalism," files wer torn up and burn d; d sks, chairs and cabin ts wer overturn d and damaged; t lephone wires lipped from th wall; books and pap rs thrown on the Hoor; some records carri d away, and windows broken.
The incident ended quickly. Po-li oust d the "demonstrators" within five minut s.
Th University police, who said that they w re "overwhelmcd" and did not hav the manpower to make arrests, mad none imm diately.
The raid occurred spontaneously out of a rally of s veral hundred p rsons who had gathered earli r Friday aft moon in th Coffman Union Main Ballroom to support "B av r 55" - a group who laims

UNIVERSITY baseball coach Dick Siebert will attempt a third consecutive Big Ten title - and a record - this spring.
Another title would mark the second time Siebert-coached teams have won three consecut ive championships. Beginning in 1958 the Gophers won straight Big Ten titles, culminating in the 1960 national championship.
If Siebert's team can win the Big Ten this spring , he will become the first conference coach to have twice won three consecutive championships.
Minnesota alumni have come to expect the best in Big Ten and college baseball from Siebert who is now in his 23rd season at the University. Minnesota has won seven of its nine Big Ten championships under Siebert and all three of its national titles.
Siebert teams won Big Ten championships in 1956, 1958, 1959, 1960, 1964, 1968 and 1969. The three national titles came in 1956, 1960, 1964.
His coach ing has boosted the Gophers to third in the all-time conference standings for titles won behind Ill inois and Michigan. Siebert's record going into th is season was 498 wins and 239 losses.
His 1969 team won 35 of those games before being beaten in the NCAA playoffs. It was a team which featured the power hitting of Mike Walseth and Noel Jenke. They, along with eight other lettermen, will not be returning and the loss will be noticed, according to Siebert.
" We 'll be a different type of team this season ," he said recently. " We'll rely more on pitching and defense since we lost several fine hitters. "
The pitching staff will be led by captain Dave Cosgrove and Gary Petrich . They had 7-2 and 7-1 records respectively last season with ERA's under 2.00.
Siebert says if younger pitchers like George Hoepner, Roger Zahn and Bruce Ericson come through to complement Cosgrove and Petrich, pitching will not be a concern.
The Gophers are strong up the middle. Catcher Scott Stein, son of University trainer Lloyd, calls a good game and is more than adequate defensively, according to Siebert.
Shortstop AI Kaminski and second baseman Bob Schnietz contribute to the team offensively as well as defensively. The two seniors hit .297 and .346 respectively last season .
Siebert said he'd look at several players at first base, third base, and left and right field before the Big Ten opener with Michigan State April 25 at Bierman Field .
Gary Morgan, a .308 hitter in the local metro college baseball league last year, is a likely starter at fi rst.
Gopher defensive halfback Gary Hohmen is skipping spring football in hopes of becoming a starting third baseman or outfielder. He's likely to become an important part of the team since his
PHIL, 1970
dave shama's GOPHER TALES
high school play attracted major league scouts and he was eventually drafted by the Minnesota Twins.
Siebert says anyone of several outfielders may fill left and right field . Senior and center fielder Jim Nielsen is expected to supply much of the hitting in that he batted .322 last season with nine home runs.
Siebert hopes to have first base, third base and left and right field filled with reliable players as early as possible and says " if we do we' ll have a good team. "
THE COMEBACK KIDS Minnesota's hockey season ended in the NCAA
playoffs last month, short of the team 's goal of a national championship . The Gophers were eliminated 6-5 by Michigan Tech, but the team should know there are few Minnesota fans who weren 't proud of their season.
A point of pride has to be the team 's first WCHA championship since 1953-54. It was the first for Coach Glen Sonmor, the spirited Canadian who was voted the WCHA's Coach of the Year.
Sonmor knows that he 'll never make a swami , but he doesn 't care after this season.
" We trailed in game after game this season only to rally and win," he said. " I told the kids we just COUldn 't continue to do that and expect to win a title, but we played that way all year. "
Down 6-3 late in the finale against Tech, Minnesota saw a rally fall short for one of the few times this season. The Gophers always knew that if they could score late in the game all-American goalie Murray McGlachlan would hold the opposition.
'The finest goalie I've coached and the best in the college game," Sonmor said . " He was the biggest part of our success."
