eruing you now.. Latest of the Board of Regents contributions to the growth and development of Omaha Uni- versity is its endorsement of two recent legislative bills which will help the University to attract and keep better members of its faculty. One of the bills makes provisions for student and faculty housing and a student union, and the other provides for bettering retirement benefits and disability insurance for the faculty and employees of the University. The Board, which has been in charge of University policy making since the school became muni- cipally owned in 1931, is composed of Omaha businessmen. Throughout their 18 years, the Board has cooperated and planned with University authorities. Some of the results of these plans are the present million-dollar plant, the rapidly-progressing Fieldhouse construction, the ten-year building program and the entrance of Omaha University into the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. Present officers of the group are Farrar Newberry, president, Herbert Marshall, Eaton Metal Products Corporation, vice president, and Mrs. Iohn H. Bath, secretary. Other members include Mr. W. H. Campen, Omaha Testing Laboratories, Mr. George C. Pardee, Metropolitan Utilities District, Mr. Ray R. Ridge, Omaha National Bank, Mr. V. Skutt, United Benefit Life Insurance Company, Mr. Robert H. Storz, and Mr. W. Dean Vogel, Live Stock National Bank. Left zo rigbt: Williriin Campen, George Pardee, Mrs. Mary Bath, Ray R. Ridge, Farrar Newberry, Robert Storz, V. J. Slcutt, Dean Vogel, Herbert Marshall. 19

Better known as the Alumni Office, it is under the present direction of joan Sorenson, acting Executive Secretary and is a direct contact between the University and Omaha University alumni. February 24. 1949, the association ended its year-long search for a school fight song at a con- vocation-pep rally. Oliver Joiner's song was picked by a student vote from a held of five finalists. The Alumni Office, together with the Gateway, contributed a S100 prize to the winner. Other activities headed by the Alumni Office this year included a membership drive, two dinner meetings and an Alumni Dance honoring this year's graduating class. Still on tap is an Achievement Day and Reunion Dinner to be held june 6. In addition to social and business activities, the Alumni Office publishes an Alumni Gateway once a month, keeps a file of all alumni and former students, and takes charge of the Founder's Day festivities. Through the work of this office and its members, a vital interest in the progress and achieve- ments of the University are stimulated and maintained. Acting Executive Direrlor JOAN SORENSON 21
