%■ Leslie Cummins Chanman Alumni Board MAKE ' em proud of our University is the slogan of the Alum- ni Board and the California Alumni Association at Los An- geles. More than 6,000 Berkeley alumni live m Southern California, very few of vi ' hom realize that there are 6,000 students attending our institution. It is the work of the Southern Secretary s office to acquaint these alumni with the activities of the local institu- tion and to cause them to tie up an active allegiance to this University. Fred Moyer Jordan, 25, graduate of the University, is manager of the Southern office and assistant to Mr. Robert Sibley, U3, Executive Manager of the Association. The purposes of the department are to work for closer co-operation and understanding between the alumni of this institution and Berkeley, and to band our own alumni in some fashion that they may be useful to the University. To realize these purposes, the secretary ' s office compiles a file of all Berkeley graduates in Los Angeles as well as the local University alumni. Form letters keep graduates and former students posted as to all official information. Mr. Jordan, the Southern California represen- tative, speaks at California banquets. Southern activities are set forth in the official publication, the California Monthly. The office of the Southern Secretary of the California Alumni Association was established last year imme- . diately following commencement. Much has already been accomplished in a fraternal way between the two institutions. Berkeley alumni have proved loyal boosters for the local University. Jordan says, The best of co-operation, the hardest work, and the friendliest spirit have been shown by the Berkeley people. We hold for them a sincere aff ection. However, we have our own problems, our sepa- rate student body, and our particular lives to live. Ours should be the equality relation of one brother to another. It will not be that of father and son. The Alumni Board is composed of seven members, two of whom are Berkeley graduates. The personnel of the present Board consists of Leslie Cummins ' 25, chairman. Feme Bouck, ' 25, Thelma Gibson, ' 25, Elder Morgan, ' 23, Mrs. George L. Andrews, 20, Julius Wagenheim, ' 87, and Fred Moyer Jordan, ' 25. Members are elected to serve a year. , , „ i The work of the Board is leg- islative m nature. Meetings are held monthly. One of the out- standing projects during the last year was to compile and classify all the past graduates of the Teachers ' College, never before done. The Southern Alumni Af- fairs Committee acts as a joint council with Mr. Jordan ' s office, under President Charles W. Mer- rill, 91, of the California Alumni Association. As Assistant Executive Man- ager, Mr. Jordan also sits as the .Mumni Representative on the Associated Students Council, act- ing to keep the alumni informed ,is to the needs and problems of the present undergraduate stu- dent body, and to bring to current LOCAL ALUMNI BOARD yi ' -iiy. u y , t.

= eAs fe .i Fred Mover Jordan Secretary Southern Alumm Ojjice X problems in the A. S. U. C, a graduate ' s viewpoint on the poHcy of student activities. Plans are now under consideration to establish a bureau of employ- ment m the southern office on this campus similar to that of Berkeley. The northern student agency during the past year has placed people in positions which paid aggregate salaries amounting to .11,250,000. The bureau would be open to alumni and undergraduates. The Alumni Association is taking a most active part in helping to put over the .18,250,000 bond campaign, $3,000,000 of which will apply on the new Westwood campus. To that end, with alumni bond work ' ers in 700 different cities m the state, there will be two central offices, San Francisco and Los Angeles. The local office organises the campaign in Southern California to assure the University the funds to begin the building at Westwood. The Association has prepared a very artistic and interesting fifty-page booklet in connection with the bond issue, showing pictures of the old and new campu s and telling of the urgent necessity of providing new University accommodations for the rapidly accruing Grizzly student body. In these ways the Southern office of the Alumni Association is liv ing up to Its purpose of serving the University and making it better for having an organized alumni body. Following the customary annual election of officers, held in April, the reins of government in the California Alumni Association were taken over by the following: President, Julius Wangenheim, S7; First Vice-Presi- dent, Everett J. Brown, ' 97; Second Vice-President, F. D. Stringham,US; Treasurer, Robert G. Sproul, ' 13. Councilors elected at this time included the following; Thelma Gibson, ' 25, Milton Esberg, ' 08, Paul F. Cadman, 15, Mrs. Alexander Morrison, 78, and Dr. Franklin P. Nutting, ' 98. Mr. Wangenheim, a San Diego man, will be recognized as a member of the Southern Branch alumni council which served its first term during the past year. In accordance with the law passed several years ago by the state legislature, President Wangenheim will also sit as a full voting member of the Board of Regents. A rather significant honor was accorded the southern part of the University this year in the election of one of its graduates, Thelma Gibson, as an active voting member of the State Alumni Council. This is the first time that our division of the University has been so honored, and is indicative of the time when alumni of the southern part of California will sit in equal numbers with the northern Californians m the discussion and conduct of alumni affairs. Mr. Fred Moyer Jordan, Assistant Ex- ecutive Manager of the Association, also sits as a voting member of the Alumni Council. Much credit is due Fred Moyer Jordan for his work as assistant manager in charge of the southern office of the California Alumni Asso- ciation. Not only do es he organize the alumni of the University south of the Tehachapi, but he also furthers the interest of the University of California in every possible way. The fact that he himself is an alum- nus of this institution makes his interest in its affairs very keen, and the further fact that he is a voting member of the Alumni Council places him in a position to represent the South and present our inter- ests to the University at Berkeley. This year a new tradition has found its way into the annals of the University, that of one hundred percent membership in the Alumni Association. The Class of 1926 has set a noteworthy prec- edent which will probably be followed by all Senior classes in the future. The membership drive was met with instant approval and it is a matter of pride to all concerned that not one of the members of the senior class refused to enter the ranks of the accredited alumni of the University of California. • „ I I ' •S ' f
