Letter from the President
Tcm Feiro
A hearty spring hello from the UMC Alumn i Board of Directors . Yes, spr ing has started to show around the campus. Even before the snow fin ished melting, students were donn ing sweatsuits for jogging, b ike r iding, or playing f r isbee and softball.
Can you remember all the mud that was around campus in the spr ing? Well, it's still here and 8specially now that construct ion has slarted on the new gymnasium. There wasn't a flood problem in Crookston on the Red Lake River th is year . Many times in the past students were called upon to help in the sandbagging effort. What about those crews who spent time on standby--at the Diamonds?!
Spring fever has set in on the UMC campus. We have been work ing hard to plan for Homecom ing
festivities. You have been hearing word of an Alumn i Recog-nition Banquet to be held Fr iday eveni ng , September 26. The divisions have nominated a number of graduates for two categories of awards. Alumn i Personal Servi ce Awards w il l be given to graduates in recognition of their serv ice to the University of Minnesota - Crookston . Nom inees were chosen
for the ir contribut ions of time, fi nancial, student recru itment, publ ic relat ions, job opportunities, alumn i involvement and others. The other category is the Personal Achievement Award given to graduates who have attained unusual d ist inction in their profession .
It w ill make for an excit ing even ing to kick off Home-com ing 1980! I hope all of you w il l mark not only September 27 on your calendar, but also the night before. We w i II hold the banquet in the new food serv ice build ing to be f inished this summer.
There will be two classes honored th is year for 10 and 5 year reun ions, class of 1970 and class of 1975. We are still looking for a couple members of each of these classes to help in prepar ing your act ivit ies and contact ing graduates. Just a handful from each class would do wonders! If you would care to help, drop us a l ine at the Alumn i Off ice before the end of May . We need to get these classes rolling during the summer .
The UMC A lumn i Board of Directors are opening nom ina-t ions for interested graduates who would care to be a member of the board . Each year one-th ird of the board is re-elected. If you are interested in serving your alumn i, please fill out the form. Elect ions w ill be held over the summer.
If you are unable to give t ime to assist your fellow alumn i, keep in mind we are a non-profit organization. We have expenses to serve you in the best way rossible. Even your smal l donations have been very hel pful.
I hope you have an excellent summer. Check your mai o for more Homecom ing informat ion. If there is anything we can do for you, let us know. That is what we are here for .
Have a nice day! I
Letter from the Provost
Dr. Stanley D. Sahlstrom
As I compose this letter to you, memories of many events of the past 15 years at UMC co me to mind. It's been a tremendous experience for me as I've had the opportunity to become acquainted with each of you and to watch the growth and development of a great institution. As you un-doubtedly know, growth is continuing both in terms of numbers of students and in terms of buildings and facilities on the campus. I hope each of you will make the date of our fall Homecoming - September 27 - on your calendar so that
you'll be able to see the changes that have taken place and to have the opportunity to visit w ith f riends and faculty at that time.
It's an exciti ng time on campus as construction of the new gymnasium has begun. In addition, the first contracts have been signed for the outdoor athletic complex . By the time of Homecoming, construction should be well along on the football field, other athletic f ie lds, intramural facilities, as well as on the gymnasium itself. Plans are to move into the new HRI and food service bu ild ing immediately after school is out th is spring. A special cornerstone laying ceremony will be held for that facility later this year.
An open house was held in the new l ibrary on May 3. Also, groundbreaking ceremon ies for the entire physical educat ion facility were held on May 6. I cordially invite you to visit our campus during the summer months to see these changes that have taken place.
Best w ishes to all of you from all of us here at UMC.
Joan Growe will be Commencement Speaker
Joan Growe
Minnesota Secretary of State Joan Anderson Growe has accepted an invitation to address spring quarter graduates. The trad itional year-end rite of passage for UMC sophomores is scheduled this year on Friday afternoon, May 16. Exercises will take place on the campus mall, weather permitting.
Growe, a former D F L legislator and secretary of state since 1975, was high on the list of preferred speakers. An
UMC CAMPUS MINISTRY Campus Ministry at UMC has grown and reached many
students and staff under the leadership of Brent Jacobso n. Brent's campus involvement was recognized by Student Senate at the annual awards banquet by presenting him the plaque for Staff Most Supportive of Student Activities. We are pleased that Brent plans to continue at UMC in the fall.
The campus ministry program has become more diver-sified and continues to grow. I n recent years as the budget has increased, the Campus Ministry Committee has been around $1000 short of meeting costs each year. Since all support for campus ministry is from churches and area church bodies, we are seeking to balance our budget with contribu-tions from church organizations, students, and alumni. If the spirit moves you to support UMC Campus Ministry, please send your check to the Rev. AI Oelschlager, Treasurer, 1214 Un iversity Ave., Crookston, MN 56716.
CONTRIBUTIONS THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

elementary and specia l educat ion teacher ear l ier in her ca reer , Growe, 44, is now one of the top-ranking publ ic off icia ls among women in state government throughout the cou ntry. In recognition of her status and her overall ability, Growe has been elected president of the National Association of Secre-taries of State (NASS) after only five years in that office.
Since serving a single term in the Minnesota HOllse (1973-75), representing the Minnetonka distri ct (40A), Growe has twice been the voters' choice for her present position, having been eiected in 1975 and then re-e lecterl three years later. Among her many professional and special interest affiliations, she is a member of the Federal Elections Commission Ad-visory Board and the State Board of I nvestment Executive Counci l as well as being extremely active in the DFL party.
Growe's political accomplishments have been instru-mental in helping her earn several special citations in recent years.

The following year Growe rece ived the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) Outsta nding Achievement Award for Government/Politics. St. Cloud State University presented her with a Disti ngu ished Alumni Award in 1979.

We Need You!
All of us on the UMC Alumni Board are concerned about the Al umn i Association . We need your support and membership in order for its con t inuance. Without it, our association will not be as effec tive as it should be.
The UMC Alumni Association has deci ded to initiate a fund raising program to help defray expenses that we are incurring. With our 1700 members, if everyone d onated $1 t o $10, this would help to cover expenses and set up a yearly scholarship fund that wou ld help some student with their co llege expenses. Also, a donation of $1 to $5 from each alumnus would go a long way in meeting the cost o f UMC's sculpture.
A donation of $1, $5, or even $10 per year would help greatly. Below is a form for you to fill out and return to the UMC Alumni Association .
