Student Retention Committee to focus on freshmen The University's Student Retention Committee has decided to focus its efforts on freshmen retention and it has divided itself into three task forces in order to ex- pedite its study, according to Susan B. Hannah, assistant vice president for academic affairs and University coor- dinator for student retention. "Our goal is to improve the percentage of freshmen who return to Western for the completion of their undergraduate degrees," Hannah said. "This focus was chosen because it enables us to define the problem in manageable terms; it targets student population vulnerable to attrition; it draws from and expands many efforts already in place on campus; it provides a significant focus for a campus awareness campaign; and it enables us to make the most efficient use of our time, energy and financial resources." Task forces and their membership are: Orientation-David O. Lyon, psychology, chair; Lynne C. McCauley, in- tellectual skills; Rosalynn M. Moss, stu- dent; Richard M. Oxhandler , counseling center; and Raymond A. Passkiewicz, orientation. Academic Concerns-Karla F. Savings Bonds to be emphasized next week The week of Feb. 13 to 17 has been designated as United States Savings Bond Emphasis Week at Western by Stanley W.

Those interested in this invest- ment plan should return their signed authorization cards to the WMU payroll department. Alumni giving up 42 percent The Development Fund reports that alumni giving increased 42 percent to total more than $500,000 in 1983. The number of alumni giving grew by 41 percent with 9.463 donors. Private support from all sources totaled $2,831,439, up 25 percent from 1982. The two donor categories showing greatest growth were alumni and corporations (up 67 percent). According to the Development Fund office, the 1983 increase is due to an 80th Anniversary Alumni Challenge of $80,000, the new Medallion Scholarships and the Gravure Flexographic campaign.

She has serv- ed as a financial aid counselor with respon- sibility for scholarship programs since July 1981. All present and past co-workers and friends are invited to attend. Holloway, English, chair; Kimon Bour- nazos, management; George H. Demetrakopolous, academic advising in arts and sciences; Griselda Gordon, academic affairs/special programs; Paul E.

Carr, auxiliary enter- prises; Helen M. Horn, engineering technology; Randall W. Shannon, student; and Oxhandler . Hannah explained that each task force has been encouraged to invite other in- terested faculty, staff and students to join them in order to increase community in- volvement in retention and to raise the quality of information and ideas for ac- tion. Each task force has been asked to identify key retention issues for freshmen in their respective areas and to consider faculty/staff awareness and high-risk students in their list. "The task forces also will inventory cur- rent programs and activities at Western dealing with the key freshmen retention issues; they will evaluate these progr~ms in light of the key retention needs; and they will recommend program changes or new problem in manageable terms; it targets a retention," she added. Use 911 or 123 for campus emergenCIes Persons at Western may reach University police in an emergency by dialing 911 from a pay telephone or from University apart- ments and by dialing 9-911 or 123 from an office or residence-hall (Centrex) telephone, according to Lanny H. Wilde, director of public safety. "Persons on campus should use 911 or 123 to obtain emergency police, emergency fire and emergency medical assistance," Wilde said.

Persons making routine calls to Universi- ty police should use the department's business number, 3-1880. A 911 emergency-telephone system was initiated Monday in Kalamazoo County. Office of the PresideD! Western Michigan University Kalamazoo, Michigan 49008 February 6, 1984 TO: All Faculty and Staff Members As an educational leader in the State of Michigan, it is incumbent upon Western to fulfill that leadership role in all aspects of our University life. Equal Employment Op- portunity and Affirmative Action remain principles to which this institution is strongly committed. It is therefore fitting for me to bring to your attention the fact that in all aspects of our daily operation we shall continue to recruit, hire, train, promote, transfer and compensate in all job titles without regard to race, color, religion, na- tional o;igin, sex, age, handicap, height, weight, or marital status. Furthermore, we shall continue to provide equal opportunity for qualified disabled veterans and veterans of the Vietnam Era. Every effort must be made by each of us to assure that all employment decisions, program directions, and personnel actions are made in accordance with established University goals that further the principles of Equal Employment Opportunity and Af- firmative Action. Specifically, only valid job requirements will be used in the selection procedures. We must advance minority persons and women into all levels of leader- ship. To meet this goal, we have developed two important internship programs, and we are currently working for much needed gains in Affirmative Action. Therefore, I believe it is especially appropriate for me to remind each of you of our collective responsibility to support these objectives, and to insure that they are fully implemented throughout the University. Our commitment to the Affirmative Action principles, goals, and objectives en- dorsed by the Western Michigan University Board of Trustees remains strong. Thus, we shall stay the course and not be unduly influenced by recent deviations in the objec- tives for civil rights at the federal level. Political shifts or apparent redirections in the Civil Rights Commission should be viewed as transitory in nature. Accordingly, we shall continue our efforts to assure all employees equal opportunity for advancement and take extra measures to ensure the equal participati9n of all members of protected classes. Again, I would like to remind you that Mrs. Jewell M. Street is my designee as the University's Affirmative Action Compliance Officer, and I have charged her with the responsibility to maintain the necessary programs, records and reports to comply with all government regulations, including the maintenance and monitoring procedures for our policy objectives. Just as we share the responsibility for meeting the other goals of our University, so must each of us asswme a leadership role in making our Equal Opportunity/ Affir- mative Action Policy truly effective. Thank you for your positive efforts on this behalf. Your full cooperation is greatly appreciated! Sincerely, Sk(7, ~ ~ ohn T. Bernhard President iJ ,0 -
