an enlarging circle for Indeed, the circle of alumni is increasing dramatically for ISU-considering the large number of graduates of the past few years. And the circle is en- larging for HyQu. Enlarging, that is, for Hyou tthe studenti be- cause more alumni means more support for the university. For example, 1975 saw ISU conduct its fourth an- nual Telefund, an Alumni Association effort to gain financial support for the ISU Fund from alumni living in Vigo and Ver- million counties. About 140 local alum- hi and university staff served as volunteer call- ' ers, working in teams of 25 to 30 each evening hoping to reach the 5,200 area alumni who are list- ed on the records of the Office of Alumni Affairs. . ALUMNI HHelIo, this is iSU call- ing! was the message heard by those local alumni during the March effort. Richard Everett was general chairman for the Vigo-Vermillion Telefund, heading a group of 10 captains who recruited volunteers for specific evenings ofduty. The major portion of the alumni contributions, about 47 percent. is for student scholarship aid; another 35 percent is used for individual school and department projects; and the remaining 18 per cent goes to general op- eration costs and special capital projects. The local Telefund was one of 14 ISU conducted during the year e which involved over 400 volun- teers who attempted to reach about 18,000 alumni. Other areas where Telefunds were held were Vincennes, Indianapolis, Evansville, Columbus, Crawfordsville, Lafayette, South Bend, Fort Wayne, Hammond, St. Louis, Chi- cago, Sullivan, and Rock- ville. Alumni come to the forefront of ISU's atten- tion when four are given the HDistinguished Alum- ni Awards each year dur- ing Homecoming. As part of Homecom- ing 1974 activities, Delby C. Humphrey, Frank L. Miklozek, Allen Sharp, and Tom Trimble receiv- ed the award.
