!f you were in the Seattle Airport last year, you may have seen "you ng man, baggage in hand, sprinting from the rent-a-car ode!kto the departure gates . Although the blinding speed of the runner (well, at least he nrade the plane) ma y have fooled you, it was not O .J. Simpson tfilmi ng another Hertz commercial. Rather, it was Joe Beyel, UR's ; lSsi stant director of development, somewhere in the midst of sancther sea son of University phonath ons. Beyel treks from coas t to coast each year, "losing keys , losing .ti:kets, and sometimes missing planes." But, in bet ween, he

I organizes more th an 300 alumni volunteers to spend an evening ,cllllng fellow alumni in their home are as to ask for contribu tions tothe University . ''We try to make each pho na tho n a pleasant alumni event for thevoluntee rs," Beyel says. "We go out to dinner first, then we work hard for a few hours making the calls . The average gift is a'out $30." The callers get genero us gifts, flat refusals, quest ions, chit­ cha t, babysitters, and all kinds of answering services. Th e best of thel atter, Beyel recalls, wa s in New York City at the home of an Ea tma n School alumnus. "T he recording featured a sopra no­ accompanied by th e alumnus on the piano-singin g tha t no one WlS home but to please leave a message," Beye i says. "It was great. I th ink every on e of ou r volun teers that night called jus t to h ar i t." The President's Leadership Council has been of great ass ist­ ance on the phonatho ns, wo rking as volunteers and as recruit­ ers, "If a Co uncil mem ber asks an alumnus to be a voluntee r," Beyel says, "I hope th at th e reac tion will be positive." This year's phonathon schedule is as follows: September-s­ Roches ter; November-Sy racuse, Buffa lo, Albany, Boston; Dlcember- N orthern New Jer sey, Philade lphia; January-Los Angeles; February-San Francisco, Seattl e, Phoen ix, Cleveland, Chicago; March-Westchester, Was hing to n, D.C., Atlanta, Hous ton; April-New York City; May- Roche ster.
