- 2503 THE OREGA NA '83 NINEYFEN HUNDRED THIRTY THREE Alumni Reorganize The hectic year, 1952-33, memorable for budget slashes, the de- feat of the Zorn-Mao pherson bill, salary re- ductions and the like, wreaked its full spoils in the offices of the Univer- sity of Oregon Alumni Association. A reorganization of the association, bringing with it a new secretary, a new policy, and the abandonment of Old Oregon as the alumni publication took place early in April. The new secretary was Alexander G. Brown, '22, who came to the campus from Portland, where he had been em- ployed in newspaper work. He took the place of Jeanette Calkins, '18, who resigned. Brown was appointed by the alumni council, composed of the officers of the alumni association. His appointment was effective immediately, while Miss Calkins was asked to stay on and complete the issuance of the May issue of Old Ore- gon, work on which had already been started. Miss Margaret Boyer, '26, assistant secretary under Miss Calkins, resigned also, effective the first of May. The new policy which was instituted with Mr. Brown's acceptance of the position was one of personal contact with the alumni of the state, and extensive trips were planned by him to all parts of the state where he was to meet personally with alumni and alumni groups. In the place of Old Oregon, it was decided to use one issue each week of the Oregon Daily Emerald, a special page of which was offered to the association to carry alumni news and in- formation. Hardly had Mr. Brown taken office before the first rumblings of the impending attack on higher education and the University in the form of the Zorn-Macpherson initiative school moving bill were heard. The provisions of the bill itself were such a direct attack at the very life of the University, that it immediately became obvious that the great body of alumni, re- siding in all parts of the state, would be needed as an active organization in the fight against the school moving bill.
