Wintermote-Leg Man
By Frank Morgan
Frantic searching through Sunday's sports section for results of yesterday's big game. . . . Arguing the merits of the old alma mater at parties and the office. . . . Dropping back occasionally for Homecoming to recall the great times and happier days.
But the old State U. spirit and fervent allegiance wane as time and distance increase.
These are the thoughts in mind when one looks past graduation and to the days as an alumni.
ASSOCIATION with the school drops off to token activity despite vows to write and to visit often. Time weakens the bonds of interest in the old place as the former student gets farther and farther away.
But if there is an organization at the school, whose sole purpose is to prevent this disinterest and keep close ties between the school and alumni, chances are pretty good that the graduates will remain a close part of the university family.
Richard (Dick) Wintermote, associate secretary of the KU Alumni Association is the man who does most of the leg work.
KU has just such an organization; one of the finest in the nation. It is one of the busiest, with multiple activities that make it and its members an integral part of University life.
"THEER ARE 115 KU alumni clubs in the country," he said, one in every major city and in most counties in Kansas.
"Once a year, I take an extended trip to cover four or five cities throughout the nation. The rest of the time, my travels are in Kansas."
Besides keeping tab on the 120.- 000 alumni cards in the office files, the association acts as sponsor and adviser for the Senior Class each year, supervises the Statewide Activities program and plans the commencement and homecoming activities.
In response to, "What else," Mr. Wintermote wheeled around in his chair and came up with folders and mimeographed sheets that showed the extent of the Association's duties.
"WE ARE ALSO aides to the Owl Society (juniper's honor society), the cheer-leaders, Pep Club and I am chairman of the University Pageantry Committee," he said. "And there are usually five class and two football team reunions a year for which the

association makes all arrangements."

The Alumni Association was founded a short time after the University in 1861 as a separate organization from the school. It has its own constitution and state charter. Because of its many services to KU, the Association receives a supporting grant each year. However, the major part of the operating budget comes from membership dues, from the sale of advertising in the magazine and from contributions.
