---·AROUND THE PARK BLOCKS·--- Letters Pride increased My congratulations to all involved in making PSU Magazine happen. Image is a critical step in reshaping reality and this new communication form reflects PSU's determination in meeting new challenges. My pride as a PSU alum has increased 100 percent. Leila Lovdale ('79 BS, '85 MSW) Portland, Ore. University feeling Excellentjob on the new publication. PSU Magazine should really help build a University feeling among students and alumni alike. I look forward to the next issue. Don L. Dickinson ('72 MBA) Portland, Ore. A step forward Congratulations on publication of the new PSU Magazine. We received our copy yesterday, and have found it fascinating reading from cover to cover. This is truly a step forward in communicating with alumni and others interested in the University, and seems in keeping with the many other innovations afoot under the new administration. Phyllis and Brian Hollopeter (Vanport) Manzanita, Ore. Outstanding You've done it again! The new magazine is outstanding in every way. The layout is superb, as are the writing and photography. The staff of Old Oregon have some real scrambling to do to come close to your effort! You never cease to amaze me. Congratulations to the News and Info staff. Mary Cumpston ('57 BS) PSU Placement Director Neon at night and shiny gold during the day, PSU's new sign over S. W. Broadway lets motorists and pedestrians know they are on campus. The 34-foot sign with 12-inch letters is part ofa campus-wide identification and beautification project to include more signs, new lighting and year-round flowers. Ad campaign features alumni A recent advertisement in the Portland Observer newspaper featured PSU graduates Margaret Carter, state representative from the 18th district, and George E. Richardson.Jr., director of corporate budgeting and strategic planning at Northwest Natural Gas Co. They both explain how PSU had helped start them on their careers and urge prospective students to attend Portland State. "The ad is the first in a projected series," according to Chuck Stephens, PSU director of public affairs. "We hope to highlight our alumni and their involvement with students and with education." The ad points out that Carter is a college counselor and teacher and Richardson is a member of the State Board of Higher Education and both got their start at PSU. Stephens said alumni will be seeing similar ads in other publications and asks PSU graduates who have ideas or PSU MAGAZINE PAGE 2 would like to be involved in future alumni-student advertisements to contact him at 229-4420.
