5 I November Referendum

At the special session of the Legislature held at the beginning of the year, the University of Maine requested $2.9 million for operating monies and $8 36 million in bonds for a capital construction program. The operating monies requested were needed to 1) eliminate inequities in professional salaries, 2) to provide for full use of existing resources; 3) to eliminate major deficiencies in essential supporting services (e. g. the cost of a new unemployment compensation law); and 4) to cover minor improvement and major maintenance projects. The capital construction program requested was for the top priority building on each of the seven campuses, needed in each case to catch up with recent enrollment growth. The construction proposed for the Orono campus is a business administration, mathematics, and English building, at a cost of $1,900,000. The special session approved the $8.6 million bond issue for capital construction, which will go before the voters in November. However, only $1,385,000 of the $2 9 million requested for operating funds was approved. Out of this much smaller amount, the chief part will be used to eliminate inequities in professional salaries. To meet the additional current needs, the budget is being cut again on each campus, and a further tuition raise is being considered by the board of trustees. What this means in terms of the financial climate at UMO is discussed by Vice President for Finance and Administration John M Blake The need for alumni to express their faith in action now is presented by President Winthrop C. Libby '32.

6 A call for alumni action

I II

Winthrop C. Libby '32 president

The University of Maine at Orono like any public university is subject to the interest and concern of a varied constituency. Several differ­ ent groups have a vested interest in this univer­ sity and express this interest in many different ways. A check list of this University's special "publics" includes staff, students, the chancellor and board of trustees, Maine citizens, Maine legislators, the parents of students, and the alumni. Experience indicates that it is almost impossible to resolve any one problem to the equal satis­ faction of all individuals or groups who have a perfectly reasonable concern with what happens at Orono. Administration has the responsibility for making decisions as wisely as possible and ever attended UMO, everyone who ever worked in line with institutional goals. Decisions must here, everyone who expresses an opinion about be made taking into careful account the con­ us has contributed to some degree in making victions and opinions of those who are concerned us what we are. and then explaining the reasons for the decisions Alumni are willing to work to make Orono a as carefully as possible to those who care. better place with greater capacity to meet the Take the alumni as a specific group.

15 A Capital Funds Campaign

Over the years the alumni and friends of the University at Orono have piv vided substantial support for construction of major facilities on the campus. Al­ umni Hall, the Field House, Gymnasium, Fogler Library, the Student Union and the Hauck Auditorium have been outstanding projects made possible by non-tax dollars. Today the University at Orono faces the need for a number of facilities which may have to come from voluntary contributions if we are to have them available in the foreseeable future to enrich academic and campus life for the next generations of students. They are facilities commonly available on the campuses of other New England public institutions. Among these facilities might be • a new facility that would offer opportunity for the university to gather its students, faculty and friends in one meeting place and which could also serve in a dual capacity as an ice arena to open up hockey and a new dimension of physical education. No structure now on campus can accom­ modate the university family at one time. • a performing arts center, one which would also combine museum space for many interests (natural science, history of Maine, graphic arts, etc.) and would function actively as a teaching center. • extension of facilities at the Student Union, a memorial building constructed to serve a population of about 4,000 students. It is now literally being worn out by the normal traffic it faces in serving more than 8,000 students, many of them commuters from the surrounding area. • an observatory to give the Orono campus a modern facility for use in teaching on a contemporary level the many new courses related to our space-age technology. As a preliminary step in surveying the possibility of alumni and general public support for these much-needed facilities, The Maine Alumnus asks you for your opinion on the desirability of undertaking a Capital Funds Appeal to its alumni and friends. Our thanks in advance to all who will take a moment to help us appraise current opinion on this important proposal for raising a fund that can be estimated to total from three to four million dollars for the University of Maine at Orono.

Your Opinion, Please 1. Should the alumni and friends of the University of Maine at Orono sup­ port a Capital Funds Appeal (in the near future) as outlined above?

Yes...... No...... Please return to: General Alumni Association 2. In your opinion, which would be most appropriate for inclusion in such North Hall Alumni Center an appeal?

16 General Alumni Association University of Maine at Orono North Hall Alumni Center Dear Fellow Alumnus and Alumna Orono, Maine / 04473 Tel. 207-581-7331 Will your firm have job openings in June? in September? in January? If your answer is yes, consider the 1 972 graduate of the University of Maine at Orono. His education has prepared him for general, educational, technological, scientific, or business employment. His education for this employment was solid and good, as your own degree from the University proves.

There has been a steady decline in the number of campus recruiters, with the 1972 figure of 140 visits in the General Division the lowest since 1954.

An aggressive step by the University's Career Planning and Placement Office, under the direction of Philip J. Brockway '31, is counteracting this fact. A video-tape career-interview experiment, the first in the nation for college placement departments, is being pursued vigorously in the national market to help open doors to UMO students. Fifty-five job-seeking students have been taped to date, and over 50 national companies are participating in the program, including Dow Chemical, Bethlehem Steel, and General Motors. Smaller com­ panies, too, are finding these tapes of interest as a preliminary screening device.

We can help Phil Brockway and his office by encouraging interviews, either in person or on tape, between our places of employment and the seniors at UMO.

While we are thinking of the Class of 1972, let us not forget alumni and alumnae, especially those of the past five years. Many of them are registered with the Career Planning and Placement Office, and would appreciate a lead from a fellow alumnus or alumna.

Sincerely yours,

Albert M. Parker '28 President, GAA
