4 - DAS TOR - September 16,1977Ad Hoc Who?by Terry Brahmsteadtguidance from the Placement Center's frontline(The Dallas Cowboys should have it so good),Debbie Martin, Betty Rush, Cindy McCall andDiane DiehiThe Presentation Sub-committee has broughtthe most spectacular results. The group arrangedfor students to visit companies over the break inthe region where they were vacationing. The experience proved to be advantageous from manyangles. The students involved gained valuable experience and found that the business world is quiteimpressed when students get together and pursuethese goals under (heir own motivation. Theirmajor goal was, of course, to sell the school tothe business community.Not surprising, is the fact that the students soldthe school and stirred interest in themselves as well.Most of the companies were interested and requested more information or a copy of the miniresume book.There were a couple of coups. General Motorsmade a verbal commitment to recruit to Ms. Aliison.a second semester stu dent, and Ms.Woodworth.a thin! semester student made a visit to Washingtonstate which prompted Universal Services, Inc. tocontact the Placement Center to general* studentinterest in the company.The program has been very successful, but for itto continue to be successful, we need lots of participation by the students. The Ad Hoc Committeeis entirely a student creation. Most of the peopleby M. Rudolphwho have been active in the past will be graduatingsoon. It is now up to you first and second semesterMr. Berger Erickson is known as Mr. Thunderbird. This isn't a badstudents to perpetuate the Committee.

The Ericksons accepted their new job offers andarrived here on July 4, 1946. At that time this place wasn't muchORGANIZATION CHARTSmore than a dusty, pot-holed patch of desert complete with barracks,hangars, a lot of cobwebs, and "one of the most incredible ideas inBanana republicPolishConventionalhigher education."Now Mr. Erickson is AGSIM's Executive Vice President, whichmeans he is an Operations Officer in charge of financial operations,the business office, personnel, fringe benefits, plant, grounds, foodservices, and auxiliary enterprises. In addition, from 1951 to 1976 MLErickson was the Secretary and Treasurer of the School Corporation."I kept a record of their doings," he says.A good indication of how well Mr. Erickson has served AGSIMover the years is the May 1973 evaluation AGSIM underwent at thehands of the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education of theNorth Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools. (Nextevaluation scheduled for 1978.)In 1973 the Commission wrote, "The business affairs of tile institution appear to be well-managed. The present financial situation ofthe institution appeared healthy-a situation which is less and lesscommonplace in private institutions," In other words, the schoolhas operated with a balanced budget for most of its 31 years.A dependable net surplus has resulted in AGSIM's qualifying for 944,493 in student loans over the past twenty years from the Federal Government under the Federally Insured Audit Loan Programand from the National Direct Student Loan Program.Without a net operating surplus, AGSIM would not have qualifiedfor these loans.LJMr. Erickson has seen the school through some lean years as well.In 1951, for example, enrollment for AJFT was down to 160, thefrom Mensan, of San Diego Hensa, Norm Pos, Editorschool was running a hefty deficit, and the Board of Trustees wasconsidering closing the school permanently.Mr. Erickson remembers the two men who stepped forward withstrong verbal support These two influential men, Paul Utchfidd ofGoodyear and Howard Shepherd of First National City Bank of NewYork, each supplied an important check. And as a result the schoolsqueaked through 1951.The next near crisis was in 1960. No one would consider AIFTfor a badly needed loan to get the academic year on the road.

These successes were achievedthrough sub-committees; telephone, letter-writingand presentation. So, what has the Committeedone?Some fifty letters have been individually typedand sent to East coast import-export firms. Theseletters included information about AGSIM and invited the companies to send job descriptions whenneeds arise. Each letter included a personalizedparagraph which referred to some individual factabout that company. The list and informationabout these firms came by way of Mr. Mannelfrom an alumnus.The Telephone Sub-committee is the largestsub. They have called several companies and invited them to recruit at AGSIM. This has proved tobe the most difficult function of all. After tracingthe proper telephone number and the right person,you have to catch that person at his/her desk.Sometimes easier said than done. Patience has paidoff in many situations. Several mini-resume bookshave been distributed as a result of telephone callsmade by members of the sub-committee.In addition, the Committee has provided occasional assistance to the Placement Center whenrequested. The goals are the same and the Placement Center has generously provided a telephoneand printing services. More importantly, Ms.Hazeiett and Mr. Mannel have provided suggestionsas to how the Committee might better accomplishits goal of increasing the number of companieswhich recruit at AGSIM.
