It's a busy group, as a look at Committee membership listed on page 23 reveals. but 13 of the 18 members paid their own way to Co lumbia and took lhe time to spend a weekend with the Alumnus staff. As a result of their deliberations, you will be seeing a few changes in the Alumnus come September, some in content emphasis. others In appearance. Some of the chang es were indicated by the reader ship survey conducted for the Alum ni Association by the Campus·s Public Opinion Survey Unit (see page 22). Other ideas came direct ly from the Committee. It's a group that isn·t afraid to make sugges tions. And their suggestions. of course. are designed to give you the best alumni magazine in America. That's what the Alumni Association wants. and that's what the staff wants too.-S.S. GU LLIVER'S GARDENS By Sue Hale ffilSSOURI awmnus VOLUME 61 NUMBERS M AY-JUNE 1973
