Top Aggies honored at 1991 reunion
Top aggies for the NWSA
were honored at the annual
alumni reunion held this
summer.
Over 300 alumni and
spouses packed the UMC
Conference Center for the
banquet. And most of those
people stayed and danced to
the music of Herschel Lysaker
and the American Legion
Dance Band.
Selected as Top Aggies
were: Herb W. Schroeder,
class of 1931 from Fergus
Falls; Dennis D. Warnes, class
of 1951 from Morris; and
Wayne L Pedersen, class of
1966 from Urbana, Illinois.
HERB W. SCHROEDER
CLASS OF 1931
Herb Schroeder grew up in
Fergus Falls and, following
graduation from the NWSA,
farmed with his father.
While attending the NWSA,
he took courses relating to
agriculture because he knew
he would eventually take over
the family farm, which he did
following his father's death in
1942.
In addition to Herb's church
activities, he was also active in
community affairs including:
school board, township board
(chairperson for 33 years),
Farmers Coop Elevator Board,
Retirement Pension Trust
Fund, Board of Dairy Improvement Association, and 4-H
leader.
He was the first farmer to
serve on the Fergus Falls
Chamber of Commerce, and
1991 Top Aggies were recognized at the Northwest School of Agriculture Reunion held
recently at the University of Minnesota, Crookston (UMC). Pictured from left are: Allan
Larson, director of external relations; Top Aggies Dennis D. Warnes '51; Wayne L. Pedersen
'66; Herb W. Schroeder ' 31 ; and Donald Sargeant, chancellor.
he organized the West Ottertail
County unit of the Minnesota
.Jownship Officers Association.
He served on the Board of
Directors of Security State
Bank, is a stock holder and
part owner of KBRF radio
station, and is a charter
member of Kiawanis International Golden K.
Herb is featured in Who's
Who of the Midwest.
Herb and Esther
(Kronemann) were married on
June 14, 1934, and they have
two sons, Allen and Roger, and
six grandchildren.
Herb and Esther moved off
the family farm in 1965 and
retired in 1972. They have
traveled extensively in the
United States and eight
countries in Europe, plus
Algiers, Africa, Mexico, Puerto
Rico and other islands.
Herb states, "I dedicate this
Top Aggie Award of 1991 in
sincere appreciation to the
Northwest School in what it has
done for me ... to give me my
education and make possible
all of my achievements through
the years. The instructors
helped me so much to
establish leadership and
organization qualities, and their
words of encouragement gave
me a great insight into what I
could accomplish."

PLAN NOW FOR THE 1992 NWSA REUNION
JUNE 27TH
Po e2
Foil 1991
From President Proulx
Paul Proulx
The reunion was a
•
tremendbus success again this
year due to the wonderful
efforts of the alumni staff,
including all the volunteers like
Berneil Nelson and Tillie
Gebhart and all the rest who
helped out.
The weather was very
favorable adding to the joy of
the day. Both ·.the ll=ln9heon
and the-aihner were
outstanding thanks to Keith
Ramberg and his capable staff.
Hersch's band again
performed outstandingly as
usual. I want to thank
everybody who contributed to
the success of the day.
My wife and I were going to
dance only a couple rounds
and then leave to join some of
our children who were at the
lake that weekend to visit us.
But due to all the wonderful
alumni who stayed for the
evening, we danced 'til the
band quit.
Oh, such is life--wonderful if
you take the time to enjoy it!
I want to commend all
alumni that took time out to
attend. I hope you all enjoyed
it .
If
have suggestions for
improving the reunion, please
fell free to contact us . .
I also want to say a big
thank you to Alfan Larson, our
director. Without his muchappreciated efforts the day
would not have been a
success. 'Thanks Allan!
Plan now to attend next
year's reunion. And
you are always welcome to
stop for a cup of coffee at our
White House Alumni Center.
Allan Larson assumes
alumni duties
Allan Larson assumed
responsibility for the NWSA
alumni this spring, replacing
Blake Crosby, who resigned in
May to accept a job with
Allan Larson
Northstar Guarantee Inc. in St.
Paul.
Allan is not new to NWSA
alumni. He began working for
the University of Minnesota,
Crookston (UMC) in
September of 1989 as director
of External Relations. In that
position he worked closely with
the NWSA alumni.
During the next months
Sam Bigger, assistant director
of development for·the
Northwest Experiment Station,
will assist in UMC's
area until final
plans are determined regarding
the vacancy left by Blake's
reSignation.
Aggies may remember Sam
as the West Polk County
extension director.
Chancellor's Column
Congratulations to top
Aggies Herb Schroeder,
Dennis Warnes and Wayne
Pedersen,andthankstothe
class leaders for getting the
folks "out" for the reunion. It
was great to see that
Northwest School enthusiasm
at the banquet.
We are busy with the final
touches hiring staff, waxing
fl00rs, ordering supplies,
planning events and activities -- '
so thatthis fall will be the best
ever on campus. In addition to
the physical plant changes (the
link project is finally complete
or at least useable), there are
numerous curricula changes.
Faculty have modified courses
so that they will transfer more
readily; most courses will have
the same or similar titles,
credits and content to meet
requirements for baccalaureate
degrees. This should help
eliminate surprises if a student
were to transfer to a four-year
institution.
As you've read, funding has
been reduced in higher
education for the next
biennium in Minnesota. The
University of Minnesota will
have to reduce its budget by
$32 million over the next two
years. We are in the process
of prioritizing programs and
activities and will be eliminating
some programs and reducing
the level of services in some
Donald Sargeant
departments. These .are
difficult yet necessary cuts. At
the same time, UMC's long
range planning is to move .
toward baccalaureate
programs. This will be very
difficult in light of the present
financial status.
However, we plan to .
continue the process and a
major step will be on
September 26 when President
Hasselmo and four members
of the Board of Regents will be
visiting campus. On that day,
faculty and students will be
updating them on campus
activities as well as discussing
plans for the future.
It's always a time of
change; sometimes it's just
that the dimension is of greater '
magnitude. Presently, that
seems to be the case for UMC.
We'll keep you informed.
Enjoy the fall.

New student needs ·lead
to new curricula at UMC
. Rita Meyer
New student needs lead to
new curricula at the University
of Minnesota, Crookston
(UMC).
liOn a survey given to
students entering UMC in the
fall of 1990, 70 percent of new
students listed a baccalaureate
degree as their educational
goal,1I said Rita Meyer, vice
chancellor for academic affairs.
Meyer presented UMC's
"New Academic Directions"
proposal to the University of
Minnesota Board of Regents.
The changes are being
made in response to the U MC
students' changing education
goals and to the University of
Minnesota Initiatives for
Excellence in undergraduate
education.
To strengthen undergraduate education to facilitate
transfer, 115 courses have
.been revised and strengthened
to change content and match
course numbers and credit
hours. The agriculture division
dropped 12 courses and
revised 51; arts and sciences
dropped 6, added 19, and
revised 32; business dropped
14 and revised 21; hospitality
and home economics dropped
15 and revised 11.
''The summary of changes
clearly demonstrates the
centrality of the arts and
sciences," Meyer said.
"Crookston's curriculum
today is much more sensitive
to gender and to multi-cultural
concerns."
New courses developed for
transfer include: Creative
Writing, Introduction to
Geography, Introduction to
Geology, Cultural Pluralism in
American History and
Introduction to Music.
In the agriculture division all
.changes facilitate transfer to
the University's College of
Agriculture; in the arts and
sciences division UMC
matched the University's
College' of liberal Arts
numbers, content and credits
so that students could
successfully transfer to most
colleges at the University-of
Minnesota, Twin Cities; the
business division is aligned to
programs in regional
institutions; and revisions in
hospitality facilitate transfer to
the University of WisconsinStout.
Part of the success of the
proposed changes rests on the
collaboration efforts both with
the University of North Dakota
(UNO) and with the University
of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
A UNO geography professor is working with
UMC's arts and sciences .'
division to develop the
geography course and will
actually teach the course for
UMC students. A Twin Cities
doctoral student is helping
develop the ethics course, and
an aQriculture orofessor is
working with the geology
course.
In supporting UMC's new
directions, University President
Nils Hasselmo said, liThe
Crookston campus, in a
regional perspective, has a
very definite role to play in
higher education. The Regents
will discuss the future role of
the Crookston campus in the
months ahead.

Joan Phillips Flaat '41, was recognized for exemplary service to the
.NWSA Alumni Association for her time and e;fort she put forth with

with staff and alumni . If you haven 't walked through the White
House take some time to do so. Thank you, Joan!
A NSWA tradition "
Clarence '41 and Edna (Paulsad) Sargent'45 stop at the registration
desk to check in with Berneil Nelson .
Clarence' 41 and Edna
(Paulsad) Sargent '45 brought
tradition to the NWSA reunion.
Edna's father was one of
the first graduates of the
NWSA. Julius Paulsad
graduated in 1907.
On Clarence's side, all of
his brothers and sisters
graduated from the NWSA:
Edward, Lois, Clarence,
Mariam and Marlys.
Offering four-year degrees
from U MC is a progressive
step, according to Clarence
and Edna.
They remember their class
motto was "Push on - .Keep
Moving."
"That's what U MC is doing
with its move toward a fouryear university. said the
Sargents.

High school .
students
challenged
by college
Twenty-three high school
students are enrolled to take
classes at the University of
, Minnesota, Crookston (UMC)
this fall, according to John
Bywater, director of
admissions and enrollment
management.
Through the Postsecondary
Enrollment Options Act, 11th
and 12th grade students have
the opportunity to study at
UMC.
liThe purpose of the
program is to enhanc'e the high
school education curriculum by
providing a wider variety of
options to high school
, students,lI Bywater said.
Gwen Jorgens of
Crookston is one of those
students enrolled at UMC
under the Postsecondary
Enrollment Options Act. ,
Over the past few years, the
Jorgens family followed the
development of educational
opportunities through the
Minnesota Legislature. Living
in Crookston, open enrollment
was not an op.tionfor them, but
the Post Secondary Enrollment
Options Act was an exciting
option for their daughter.
Gwen met with the admissions
staff at U MC to discuss options
which would fit into her high
school curriculum.
"I was looking for a
challenge and realized that it
would also be good to have the
credits and the experience on
my record, Gwen said.
This fall she will begin
classes at UMC with American
History I, followed by American
History II winter quarter and
Cultural Pluralism in American
History spring quarter.

"Northwest School"
The following poem was written by Glen Holmquist, class of
1944. Glen, who lives in Nekoosa, Wisconsin, says this is his
first contribution to the Northwest School alumni efforts.
Where did you get some learning
And a.bit of the Golden Rule
Some alumni give a credit
To a place named NorthWest School.
A high school on the prairie
' Now has a "memory pool."
Alumni members shrink
From that old Northwest School.
Each June some faithful gather,
"Father Time" will win th'is duel.
But, it's good to get together
To recall the Northwest School.
Now it is a college
With staff and students "cool."
Farm kids had the best of it,
When it was the Northwest School!!

Keeping "Heritage Alive"
important to N-W:SA alumni
The Heritage Fund Annual Drive was a success again this
year thanks to contributions from 671 Aggies.
A major factor that contributed to the success of the fund
drive was.the time devoted by 35 volunteers who donated time
to contact NWSA alumni during the phon-a-thon conducted
last spring.
Registration time for Willis Wagner '45, Gerhard Ross '45, Nyla
Finney Carson ' 51 and Marion Valor Gary '31
Approximately $21, 000 was contributed to the Heritage
Fund to support a variety of activities or projects: The AGGIE
newsletter, alumni reunions, board activities and expenses,
alumni recognition awards, scholarships, stationary and
supplies and upkeep of the White House Alumni Center.
It is evident from the number of donors and the dollars
contributed that the NWSA alumni have a great deal of pride in
their heritage and have a sincere desire to keep the "Aggie
Heritage Alive".
The alumni board and the development staff extend a
sincere thank you to all Who made contributions to the Heritage
Fund. We also wish to extend a special note of appreciation to
the following volunteers who so generously devoted time to
call other alumni during the phon-a-thon:

A new look
at continuing education
What's new is continuing
education at UMC?
UMC is involved in
providing coursework,
seminars and workshops that
are for University credit. We
are expanding programs that
are available for people in our
region.
Interactive television (lTV)
coursework which we have
expanded significantly this year
will continue to grow. We're in
the process of providing more
services to people in the Red
River Basin, northwestern
Minnesota and northeastern
North Dakota and Manitoba.
How does UMC develop
continuing education
classes?
Programs are driven by
requests, according to Bruce
Brorson, continuing education
director.
"I don't try to schedule
classes I think will go. Rather I
try to develop programs that
people request. If somebody
calls the continuing education
office and requests a course,
we'll to put one together,"
Brorson said.
Can you give me an
example?
First American National
Bank of Crookston, and the
Bremer banks, visited with us
about pulling together a series
of seminars that would address
communications. Our staff met
with bank personnel and came
up with a series of three or f()ur
courses which addressed
communications. We used laptop computers to assist them
for routine writing at work,
managerial writing and a basic
correspondence writing. We're .
very eager to do those types of
things.
Environmental issues ·are of .
major concern today. How is
UMC responding to this
issue?
UMC has a number of
science ·and agriculture people
on staff that have worked very
hard at the areas of
environmental sciences.
of the courses are: seminars
on groundwater and its
implications on the
environment and how to-test
groundwater; crop production
and ag chemicals; several in
the science area.
"The environment is a
critical iss·ue, and as we move
forward in our programming,
we're going to continue to look
for opportunities to deliver
continuing education to the
professionals in our region,"
Brorson said.
If someone has an idea for a
continuing education class
at UMC, what should they
do?
Give us a call. UMC
continuing education's phone
number is 218-281-6510,
extension 346.
