Alumni Association Supports University Through Service Assisting the University in all non-financial matters and keeping the alumni informed of NU activities are the main purposes of the Alumni Association. The NEBRASKA ALUMNUS magazine, edited by Richard Coffey and written by alumni, reviews important campus events and outstanding accomplish- ments of Nebraska alumni. The organization maintains three files arranged according to biog- raphy, geography and year of graduation which include about 85.000 alumni. Services of the Association include work- ing for favorable legislative bills and appropria- tions for the University. Homecoming banquets, the Alumni Roundup and class reunions are an- nual projects. The Association also organizes alumni chapters and arranges for speakers. In order to interest qualified high school students in the University, the Association ob- tains names of Regents ' Scholarship winners and alternates. Alumni in the locality contact the students personally to explain the Univer- sity system in general and answer questions about various Colleges. With the presentation of the Distinguished Service Awards, recogni- tion is given each year to outstanding alumni. Kic-liard Coffev Editor.
