PAGE 1.2 MAY 16.1972 Alumni Office keeps busy by Julie Mullen As the academic year draws closer to an end, the Alumni Association busily checks their progress with the Annual Alumni Fund, their help in the President Ensor Scholarship Fund, and Alumni Weekend. This year the Association has stressed two major objectives with the Annual Alumni Fund--more participation and increased contributions by our alumni. At this writing, the Association has received $90,541.32 from 2,356 alumni and expects more contributions in the foreseeable future. A big help in raising this total was through student in- volvement in a Telethon. This consisted of telephoning approximately 850alumni over a three- day period. Twenty-eight students volunteered to help and for a period of three hours called various alumni members. The students' calls resulted in pledges of $2,339.50 from 181people. Along.with that were 295 people who promised to contribute to the fund but were not specific in the amount.
