With spring fast approaching, '57 Class Agent Chuck Winslow has set his strategy and has completed the organization of this year's Alumni Fund campaign team. Key members of Chuck's team include: Chuck Schroeder, head fraternities agent; Pete Wardell, special gift chairman; Harvey Epstein, regional agent coordinator; Ron Judson, non-giver special agent; Bob Shirley, assistant class agent — medical doctors organization.

Chuck Winslow describes Ron Judson's assignment as that of organizing a "snarling and aggressive group for a night on the town in New York, where they will call all over the country and cajole, caress, and insult various classmates into changing their minds and making a contribution to the fund." Needless to say, the date for this effort will remain confidential.

Dr. Robert Shirley's responsibility will supplement the efforts of the total class agent organization by developing a special appeal to doctors for realistic participation in this year's fund.

Dartmouth and the Class of's7 are fortunate to have Chuck Winslow at the helm of this endeavor as his leadership has developed an excellent team that is approaching its task with creativity and enthusiasm.
