The central office of the Association is located in the Union Building, but its work extends over a wide area. Scores of Texas Ex Clubs, affiliated with the Association, have been set up throughout the state, in most major cities of the nation, and in some foreign countries. The Association maintains records of all former students, these data being constantly used by faculty, administration, student organizations, and ex-student groups. The Alcalde, alumni magazine, is published nine times yearly, and the Association administers many thousands of dollars in loan and scholarship funds. The Association functions include promotion of Texas Ex Clubs and their March 2nd (Independence Day) meetings, annual giving by exes to the University and maintenance of athletic and legislative committees throughout the State. Functioning as an important public relations arm of the University, the Ex-Students ' Association seeks to interpret the institution to the people of Texas, and the desires and needs of the people of Texas to the University. It seeks to assist in every possible way the material, academic and spiritual development of The University of Texas. The staff in the Ex-Students ' office keeps busy with the numerous files kept on former students. PAGE 25
