This sincere interest and faith in people, the per- sonal credo of University Chancellor Rev. Celestin J. Steiner. SJ.. has been one ofthe more significant fac- tors in the building of the goodwill which has made possible the success of U-D's Challenge Fund. As of January 15. l965. three years ofthe five year period had been completed. At that point, 56.25 mil- lion of the SIU million goal had been realized in money and pledges. There was assurance that the SIU million goal would be achieved. During the past six months, the emphasis of the Challenge lfund has been placed on what is known as the 'fourth Phasef The objective of this phase is to personally contact every alumnus in the greater Detroit area. Despite conjectures to the contrary at the time of the l,lmversity's decision to drop football. we are con- fident that this phase will result in 1190 per cent partici- pation on the part of the greater Detroit alumni. ln assessing the reasons forthe success of the Fund, ltr. Steiner places most emphasis on the development ofa favorable climate, through personal contacts with students, alumni and civic leaders. Into this favorable climate. U-D has projected an image of community service. We are a privately sup- ported university, serving the greater Detroit commu- nity in a number of ways: in business, in industry, in proyiding dentists. judges . . . As the city of Detroit grew. so ll-D grew . , . lf the image of Detroit is of a dynamic city. so is lf-D a dynamic institution.

F our centers serve new students New students coming to U-D have one thing in common they all come in contact with the Admission's and Registrar's Offices, the Psychological and Health Service Centers. A freshman's first meeting with U-D usu- ally is through the Admissions Office, headed by Fred Shadrick. The office's primary func- tion is to counsel high school students who are considering entering college. Throughout the year, Admissions representatives attend College Days in most parts of Michigan as well as Northern Ohio, giving the students information concerning the college life at U-D. Most of the correspondence between the University and interested high school seniors or graduates is handled by the Registrar's Office. Here, under the direction of Joseph A. Berkowski, registration data, grade tran- scripts, and numerous other records are kept on file. Up until the past year, admissions were also part of the Registrar's business, but with the establishment of the new Admis- sions Office, we can now concentrate our attention on matters dealing more specifically with registration, Berkowski said. An important part of the university is the service it renders in the fields of both mental and physical health. Students can find the answers to their questions about a choice of vocation, their abilities and interests at the Psychological Service Center. This center is one of seven such counseling bureaus in Michigan which are accredited by the Amer- ican Board on Counseling Services. The U-D service, which was organized in 1952, inter- viewed approximately 2,600 people in 1964, and thoroughly tested almost 43,000 in that same year. Although its primary purpose is treating the injuries and illnesses of resident students, the U-D Health Service Center is open to all who attend the University. Under the super- vision of Dr. John Shuey, M.D., and Mrs. Cecelia Champion, R.N,, regular medical care is given when necessary, numerous rec- ords are kept, and a blood bank is main- tained for students.
