I hope that our efforts will never be minimized. 1 cherish the conviction that the Universi­ ty will grow in size and significance both as a community of faculty and students and as an institution necessary to the whole welfare of the State. I deeply believe that it is necessary for education to serve the future by unstinting contributions to the lives of young people. The State of Maine should watch many more of its boys and girls attend college. Our public- supported university can do so much more than to sit on the sidelines and cheer. It is a huge task for the taxpayer of the State, and it is a necessity also that the united alumni body support the work of President Lloyd Elliott and his administra­ tion. Standards can be raised, and the job will be done. My qualifications are humble ones in the face of that aspiration, but my confidence is certain.

THE MAINE ALUMNUS The University New Budget Announced

University trustees adopted a record- breaking operating budget of $9,796,000 Wednesday after hearing reports of a pos­ sible total enrollment of 4,500 students next September at the Orono and Portland cam­ puses of the State University. President Lloyd H. Elliott said the state will provide $3,442,000 toward this budget or about one-third of the total. The balance will come from tuition and fees paid by students and from other sources. The budget, covering the fiscal year ex­ tending from July 1, 1960, to June 30, 1961, Photo by: Danny Maher, Bangor Daily News exceeds the current operating budget by 10 per cent.

This faculty, together with nationally-known edu­ cators and authors in specialized fields of education, provide an outstanding faculty group. The summer session is held primarily for the benefit of Maine teachers, but it is be­ coming known throughout the country. Last summer people came from forty-one states and seven foreign countries to visit the session. In some cases, these out-of- state visitors, attracted by a summer in Maine, have remained to work in the state or to study for advanced degrees. In addition to the regular courses in the Colleges of Education and Arts and Sciences offered at the session, there are such two weeks courses available as the Workshop in Music, the Coastal Natural Science Edu­ cation Course (at Deer Isle), and the In­ land Natural Science Education Course (Bryant Pond). Also held during the session are a number of conferences such as the Elementary School Principals, State PTA, Guidance Directors, and Schoolhouse Con­ struction Conferences. The General Extension Division The General Extension Division is an adult education program which is available to professional and non-professional people within the state. Extension courses are offered in three ways: 1) Correspondence course; 2) Off Campus— extension classes conducted off the campus; and 3) Saturday Centers—extension classes conducted in designated areas of the state. In 1947 only five off-campus courses were offered. This year there are 166 courses available, and approximately 3300 people taking advantage of the program. The growth of the Extension Division has been qualitative as well as quantitative.

As a result of these inquiries, 97 elementary, 212 high school, and 7 college teachers were placed. From this number 221 were placed in Maine and 95 out of state. In 1947 placement services dealt only with seniors within the college, but today the service has a follow up program of place­ ment of Maine graduates who are teaching from coast to coast.

Mr. Thomas G. Mangan General Chairman Arthur A. Hauck Building Fund University of Maine Orono, .Maine Dear Tom: It being the new year and a ll, I have been thinking about my activities and commitments. The recent arrival of the latest brochure on the Hauck Building Fund made me realize that we Maine alumni have quite a ways to go in this important project for the University. When the Hauck Building Fund was opened, I made what I f e l t , at the time, was a sizable pledge, and now I have that pledge com­ pletely paid. Since I solidly believe in this project, and realize the need, I do feel I can, and should, make an additional pledge to the Fund, to be paid over the next two or three years. Please find this second pledge enclosed.

Tom, I am sure that there must be literally hundreds of Maine alumni, like myself, who have paid their pledges to the Hauck Fund, and who would not be financially handicapped by making a second pledge in some amount. The University does seriously need the Auditorium, and I can think of no finer way in which to honor Dr. Hauck.

I do hope that many of our alumni whose initial pledges are paid, or nearly paid, will consider making an additional pledge. I know that it gives me a wonderful feeling of satisfaction and pleasure to do so, and I want to see this project completed and in use in my lifetim e.

Senior Alumni Active Among the members of the senior associ­ ation are some of the most active alumni in the General Alumni Association. Truly exemplifying the saying, “You’re as young as you feel,” the Senior Alumni Association members have shown the drive and energy needed to promote a forward looking pro­ gram. Their devotion to the cause of Uni­ versity progress shows that they have the true “Maine” spirit; and they deserve the thanks of the alumni and student body for their unceasing efforts.
