From President Proulx
Paul Proulx
Once again the NWSA reunion
was a tremendous success due to
the efforts of the alumni staff and
volunteers. We all had a great time
reminiscing and talking with friends
from the NWSA days. Both the
luncheon and dinner were outstanding.
We received an announcement
a number of weeks ago that really
made our day here at the White
House. As you probably have
heard, UMC was slated to go for a
4-year degree college. Because of
present economic climate it was a
decision that was on the fence line
for some time but thanks to our
Regents and letters to them by
many of you, we were granted this
privilege. We are by no means out
of the woods yet so what ever input
many of you can supply to help
UMC staff formulate curriculum and
needs is appreciated.
I extend my sincere appreciation to .all Regents and other
alumnus and people who have
granted us this opportunity to proceed with 4-year graduate courses.
Thank you to all of you who
attended and made the '92 reunion
a success.
As many of you scatter to
warmer climates, remember the
NWSA. We'll miss you, but if you
have time before you leave, stop
by the White House for a cup of
coffee.
--Paul Proulx
Larson's Notes
Allan Larson
It's hard to believe that summer
is about over and a new academic
school year has begun.
The 1991-92 academic year
was an exciting and challenging
one for several reasons: 1) We
had another successful fundraising
year, 2) we were able to award a
record breaking number of scholarships to UMC students, 3) we
had an enjoyable and successful
NWSAlCommunity Golf Tournament and 4) and most important,
The University of Minnesota Regents passed a resolution to
change UMC's mission to allow for
the offering of selected four-year
degree programs.
Con sid e rable work must still be done relative to the development of the
specific programs before they can
be presented to the Regents for
appr9val later this year, but the
faculty and staff are hard at work
on this major project. If everything
goes as planned, four-year programs may be available at UMC by
the fall of 1993.
.
We will keep you informed of
our progress in future newsletters.
One thing we do know for sure
is that UMC will continue to need
your moral, political and financial
support to help us make this goal a
reality. We know we can count on
our NWSA Alumni when the need
arises. Please don't hesitate to
contact us if you would like adclitional information during the coming year.

Chancellor's Comments
Donald Sargeant
Fall quarter activities are in
full swing at UMC. Our enrollment is very similar to last. year
and we're off to a great start.
Construction began in late July
on the . Agricultural Operations
Management Center. This facility will allow us to bring the
college's liyestock on campus. It
also enhances our telecommunications capacity as it contains
classrooms, laboratory and an
arena that can be operated on the
. instructional television network.
Timetable calls for completion of
the project by June, 1993. We'll
feature more on this facility in
upcoming issues.
a
In July the Board of
voted unanimously to extend
UMC's mission to include select
baccalaureate degrees. Thus,
we're really focused on planning
meetings. We are surveying employers, students in high schools,
present students and other populations to develop programs that
meet the future. It is a time consuming but exciting process. We
hope to have the first baccalaureate programs to the Board of Regents for information in November. After approval by the Regents, then the next step is the
Minnesota Higher Education
Coordinating Board. So it will be
March or April before UMC officially has approved baccalaureate programs in various majors.
If you were in the area, I hop.e
you have stopped and driven
through the campus. It's never
been more beautiful and I might
add, we feel the instructional pro.grams have never been better.
Employers of students on internship programs this summer provided glowing-reports about UMC
students.

Chancellor Sargeant said, "The
UMC campus faced a fork in the
road. One path -led to a dead end.
The other path, the one chosen,
extends the existing two-year pro-grams into four-year degree programs. The plan includes only a
minimal increase in the freshman
class size, few new programs, no
additional state funds, and it includes
courses from other colleges as part
of the curriculum. The plan is not
creating an additional highereducation institution but rather !'!laking
better use of an existing institution.
"Adoption of this resolution is an
indication of President Hasselmo's
and the Board's commitment to
strengthen the University of
Minnesota's access and services in
Greater Minnesota. This decision
goes beyond providing undergraduate education to students on
the Crookston campus. It will,
through increased investments in
telecommunications make more
courses, workshops, and seminars
available throughout the state. And
it greatly enhances research with-a
focus on rural development. So
today's action is one that is educationally and economically sound for
the University of Minnesota and for
Minnesotans. "
Jim Koehler, executive vice
president of the Crookston Chamber of Commerce, said, "Congratulations to Chancellor Donald
Sargeant and the hard working staff
who created this vision for the University and the community. Whatan
exciting time for the future of our
community that the University of
Minnesota, Crookston will be able
to offer four-year programs."

Korean Conflict Plaque D.edicated
--by TwyllaAIt8p9t9f, Crookston Daily TimBs
After . almost three decades,
memories of the Korean Conflict
still stand out in sharp-edged relief.
Four veterans of that war spoke at
dedication ceremonies for a Korean
Conflict plaque. The ceremonies
were held Saturday morning, June
27, at the memorial monument at
the main entrance to the University
of Minnesota, Crookston campus.
Marlin Johnson, of Crookston,
served with the U.S. Army Infantry
in Korea. "We were told to hold our
ground on the high ground," he
said. He told of the death of comrades and attempts to identify the
casualties.
Edwin Meyers, of Fresno, Ca. lif., is originally from Warroad. He
served with the U.S. Marine Corps
in the Korean conflict, which he
called "Harry Trur:nan's pqJice action." A World War II veteran,.
Meyers was called back to active
duty in Korea.
He spoke of the bitter cold of a
dangerous nine-day march that
took the Marines some 27 hardfought miles. He recalled wearing
an oversized greatcoat that he was
mighty thankful for. "It took three
bullets but, because it was so big,
none of them touched me," Meyers
said.
(Meyers, a member of the
Northwest School of Agriculture
Class of 1932, was here for his
60th class reunion.)
Ludger Longtin, of Crookston,
served with the U.S. Army near the
Yellow River. "When we were told
to run I didn't run fast enough," he
said. Longtin spent 33 months in a
prisoner of war camp.
He called the Korean. Conflict
."the forgotten war"·because "it took
this long for a monument to remember those who died, those who
served and those who are missing."
Howard Johnson, of Shoreview,
served with the U.S. Air Force in
Korea. He shared some recollections of Korea, but spoke instead of
groundbreaking ceremonies fortt:le
national Korean War Memorial in
Washington, D.C. He said the
recognition was long overdue but
said he was pleased that the nation
was finally giving recognition to
veterans of a bitter and bloody
struggle.
The talk of war and bitter cold
made a stark counterpoint for the
ceremonies held on a sunny June
morning midst flower gardens on
the quiet campus.
UMC Chancellor Donald
Sargeant welcomed the crowd of
about 75 people to the ceremonies.
Crookston Mayor Doug Oman
presided at the unveiling of the
plaque and read the inscription : "A
solemn tribute to the men and
wome"n of the Northwest School of
Agriculture who served with distinction in the Armed
of the
United States during the Korean
Conflict."
..
The plaque was sponsored by
NWSA Alumni Association, according to Allan Larson, director of
external relations for UMC. About
two years ago the alumni association received a letter from a Korean
Conflict veteran, who pointed out
that there were memorial plaques
for other wars, but not for Korea.
The alumni association decided to
commission a plaque and dedicate
it during this year's NWSA annual
alumni reunion.
Larson spoke briefly and asked
for a moment of silent prayer at the
dedication ceremonies.
Don Mulvaney, commander of
Crookston Chapter 14 of the Disabled American Veterans, and
Allen Nelson, representing the VFW
and the Crookston Veterans
Council, placed a wreath at the
base of the monument. .
The Crookston Veterans
Council, made up of members of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post
1902, American Legion Nels T.
Wold Post 20 and the DAV, posted
the colors. Members of the VFW
Drill Team fired a salute.
