Washington U. Gets $54,473 From Alumni in Past Year Gifts to the Washington University Alumni Fund for 1953-54, set a r ecord of $54,473. This figure is more than double the previous high for gifts. A total of 2725 alumni and friends contributed to the fund with an average gift of $19.99 . Money g iven to th e fund will be used for faculty sala ries and for th e purchase of equipment and supplies.

President's Column T is pleasant to an nounce that we h ave made our goal of 2000 member s and if time and the printer permit, to show that we aren't fooling, we will have in this issue of the "Alum nu s" a picture of Number 2000.

Elsewhere in this issue you will find a n agenda for the Homecoming wee k end , October 15 to 17. There w ill not be a speaker, as such, for the Saturday morning convocation as this meeting will be in the nature of the President's and Directors' report to yo u , their stockholders. Hence , I sincerely encourage a large attendance on Saturday morning to act on a certain amount of business and to receive a report which in my mind should be ve·r y pleasing to y ou. There has been one contribution to the Special Fund since the last issue of the " Alumnus". This was received from J. C. " Fish" Salmon ' 21 , Minden, Louisiana. With this issue we are introducing a bit of "face lifting" on the " Alumnus" that Ike Edwards and Larry May, the publisher , have contrived in an effort to keep conservatively apace with good styling. We trust you'll like it. Hoping to see you at Homecoming, I am, Sincerely yours, H. S . Pence President.

Dr. Forrester leaves Heads Alpha Chi Sigma For Dual Post in Idaho R. J. DONALD FORRESTER, Chairman of the Department of Mining Engineering at MSM since 1944, has resigned, effective September 1, to take a post as the new Dean of the College of Mines at the University of Idaho , and as Director of the Idaho Bureau of 'Mines and Geology. In his n ew post, D,r . Forrester will actually hold two positions as listed above. The Direc tor of the Burea u of Mines is a position equival ent to that of State G eologist. H e succeeds A . W. Fahrenwald . who becomes Dean Emeritus after heading the department at the University of Idaho for 21 years . Dr. Forrester is widely known tlu' oughout the mining world for his publications on mining and geology and he has been an author and co-author of 40 studies. He is author of the books, " Principles of Field and Mining Geology" and "A Laboratory Manual for Physical Geology ", and co-author of the book, " The Pacific Northwest". He has also done extensive writing on mining for encyclopedias and science books. While at MSM h e ga ined national recognition for himself and the school through prolonged research in developing the electrocarbonization process for coal. This development is likely to lead to a new and scientific method of "mining" coal without ac tually taking the coal from the earth. Dr. Forrester previously was a professor and head of the geology department at the University of Idaho from 1939 to 1944. His accomplishments in the mining field have brought him listings in "Who's Who in America " , " Who's Who in Engineering" , " Who's Who in American Education" , "American Men of Science", " Who's Who in the Midwest " , and " Who Knows and What" . He is a member of the AIME , American Association of Petrole um G eologists, American Society for Engineering Education , G eological Society of America , Society of Economic Geologists , Sigma Xi , a scientific honorary fraternity , Mark Twain Society and Rotary. Dr. George B. Clark, of the University of Illinois , has been appointed to succeed Dr. Forrester.

DR . W . T. SCHRENK

Dr. W. T. Schrenk , Chairman of the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, has been elected President of the Alpha Chi Sigma fraternity, a national professioal chemical fraternity, with both professional and collegiate chapters across the United States. Dr. Schrenk was elected at the 22nd biennial conclave held June 21-25 , at Michigan State College, East Lansing, MichiÂˇ gan . He succeeds Dr. Merl Griffin , with the Shell Oil Company in New York City. Among the other officers elected, was Dr. Frank Zvanut, MSM '32 , Wb0 was elected third vice-president. Frank is with Godfrey L. Cabot, Cleveland , Ohio.

Rosenfeld Gets Ph. D. Degree From Harvard University John Lang Rosenfeld , Assistant Professor in the G eology Departme nt was granted the d egr ee, Doctor of Philosophy, b y Harvard University at the commencement held June 18. Dr. Rose nfeld's thesis dealt with the " Geology of the South Half of the Ch est er Dome, V ermont." It is part of a large regional mapping program in a structurally complex area and w as cond ucted under the general sup ervisiOn of Dr. Marland P. Billings, of th e Geology D ep a rtment of Harvard University.

Two MSM Grads Partners In New Consulting Firm Hueston M . Smith '38, has resigned as Chief Engineer for the Fruin-Colon Contracting Company, of St. Louis, Missouri , and has organized his own Consulting Engineering firm. Hueston, with three others, has organized the Smith - Hanlon - Zurheide - L evy Company , with offices at 3926 Lindell Blvd. , St. Louis 8, Missouri. The L evy of the new firm is Bob Levy '33 . Bob is the Chief Industrial Designer, since the industrial phase of their activity is primarily a design problem and h e is a lso Secretary of the new organization. They plan to do mechanical, electrical, and industrial design. For architects, they will provide the engineering for plumbing, heating, ventilating, air conditioning, boiler installations and related mechanical items going into any structure. Electrical engineering will include lighting , power , substations. distribution facilities, controls, intâ&#x201A;Źrcomrnunication systems and other building services. For industrial clients, they will design the process, make equipment layouts, provide a production design, refurnish existing equipment and handle all or any part of the engineering related to an industrial in!;'tallation, either new or existing . Hueston's and Bob's many friends wish them success in their new un dertaking.

Alumnus Magaz;ne Gets Face-lifting in Make-up With this issue of the "Alumnus" , we have incorporated a few new ideas in "face lifting". Several of the past issues of the "Alumnus" were sent to Mr. Amadeo Tommasini , of the University of California Press, for his expert advice on methods of improving the magazine. Using his suggestions, together with our printer, Larry May , of the Rolla Daily Herald, we have come up with the changes you see in this issue . Other minor changes will be made in future issues to make the "Alumnus" a more attractive and readable magazine. The services of Mr. Tommasini were complimentary and part of the value received from membership in the Amertcan Alumni Council. MSM

Faculty Members Publish Electric Power Textbook HE Ronald Press Company of New York has just completed publication of " Electric Power Tran smission" by P rofessor John Zaborszky a nd A sso ciate Professor J. W. Rittenhouse '49 , of th e MSM Electrical Engineering D epartment which is h eaded by Professor 1. H. Lovett. The manuscript for this 676-page book has been in preparation for over three y e ars and a lthough it is d esigned to m eet the requirements of a textbook for the graduate and undergradua te l evels it also contains much of r eference value to the practicing e ngineer. This new a nd comprehensive volu me presents the subject of power transmission in terms of today 's r equirements, achievements, and opportunities. It provides a broad coverage of the steady operation of tra nsmission lines and power systems, and the m ethods available for the study of these operations. The book treats in detail the fundam e ntals 0.E transmission. Although the later chapters ar e principally from the power point of view, it is excellent for the introductory course for both power or communication students. Keyed to meet both professio nal and student requirements, the book is organized for convenient sel ection of materials.

T he pra ctical usefulne::;s of the work is enhanced thro u ghout by discussions of the many r e cent technological advances, providing easier and more compl ete analysis of power system perfor mance. Included are such topics as the universal circle diagram , new methods for cal culating power system losses and for the inclusion of su ch losses in the study of the economy of system operation, the use of probability methods to establi sh generator reserves, and a method of calculating skin and spiraling effect in stranded cond uctors. The book a lso contains much original m aterial published for the first time-a recently developed m ethod of dealing with transformer m ismatch in a network, a new r egulation chart, some new power l oci , and novel anJULY

a lysis of the various aspects of power system operation. B ecause the authors , in their own experience , have found that most studen ts are seriously handicapped in power tra nsmission courses by lack of knowledge of the basic structure of the power system, they have includ ed an extensive chapter devoted to a purely qualitative discussion of this structure. This volume will prove invaluable not only as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate students , but also as an up-to-date refresher and reference for public utilities engineers and manufacturers of electrical equipment.

Looks like a lot of good future MSM ma t erial in this fin e crowd of yo ungsters and among t hose present was Duane Monro e who had just returned from Rolla, where he is a sophomore. In a ddition to a wonderful potluck dinner arranged b y Mrs. B arney Nuell , with each of the members bringing va rious differ ent items of food , festiviti es were very much enhanced by a unique game a rranged b y Mrs. Nuell. As each m emb er arrived h e was given a bingo-like sh eet , ruled off into twenty-five squares, w ith MSM in the center square. H e was asked to w rite his own name at the top of the sh eet and in one of the squares and then exchange autographs with other members present or their w ives. This, of course, served the useful pupose of getting every one acquainted with everyone else , which was particularly desirable in the case of the newer m emb ers attending for the first time . After the dinner, w hich was conducted outdoors, we a djourne d to the playroom to enj oy this unusual game of Bingo, with a variation t h at instead of pulling numbers o ut of a hat, we pulled slips of paper with the names of those present. As each person's name was called , he was ask e d to get up, introduce himself briefl y, giving his class and occupation, or in the case of the w ives , JULY AU GUST 195 4

When an opportunity m eeting your This service endeavors to assist seniors and alumni to secure positions in industry commensurate with their training and ability. At present the Office of the Assistant Dean functions on all matters of placeme nt. Inquiries are received from industry by the placement office and various members of the faculty. Collectively these are referred to interested individuals as soon as received. No lists of firms are distributed by the school for this reason . A job lead is current for a very short period of time. The school has been embarrassed on many occasions by use of old lists giving names of individuals no longer connected with the company in addition to cases where the company's needs have been fulfilled months previous.

specifications is r e ceived you will b e notified imm ediately where to make application. For more information correspond directly with the office of the Assistant Dean , Parker Hall , Missouri School of Mines, Rolla, Missouri . There are a number of MSM graduates whose services are available such as the one listed b elow. If you have need for technical personnel , send the information to the Assistant Dean concernin g the opening and assignment. SERVICES AVAILABLE : METALLURGICAL ENGINEER: 9 yea rs var-

Alumni can assist themselves and others by keeping the placement officer informed at all times . Failure on the part of applicants to inform the school on changes of address, action on job referrals, or changes in employment have resulted in names being removed from the files. Basically, an applicant should notify the school every sixty days that he is still interested in making a change and should notify the school when he no lon'ger desires placement service. The services of the p lacement officer are yours for the asking . There JUI..Y AUGUST 1954

Ohio Civil Engineer Has Controversy With Union The Ohio Engineer (published by the Ohio SPE ) reports the case of a yo ung civil engineer who refused to join a union and was removed from his job by his employer. L. Stewart McCo y, an Engineer-inTraining enrollee with the Ohio State Board of Re gistration for Professional Engineers and Surveyors, was Chief of Party for T erry & Wright, contractors on a section of the Ohio Turnpike . After twice r efusing to forc e their employees to join the International Union of Operation Engineers, Terry and Wright agreed to replace rodmen and chainmen with union m en.

McCoy filed chal'>ges with the Nationa l Labor R ela tions Board against union offici als and also against the company. The complaint stated that h e did not desire to join the union, that the union held him up to discrimination by his employer in the type of work he may perform and for which he is .professionally q ualified , and that such coercion was un- · fair l abor practice.
