Those Class or Section Officers desiring reservations for dinners and luncheons should immediately get in touch with Ik e Edwards w ho can make the arrangements with the va r ious hotels in Rolla.

May I remind yo u again that our Fisca l Year ends on November 1, and you still have time to prevail upon several of your classmates to send in their contributions for the year of 1955 memberships- -a nd please don't be confused by the. voluntary type contribution plan- -we wish a broad base in numbers and we will be most happy to have the $5 .00 contribution that so many people are accustomed to .

T here are a number of important items on our Agenda for the Annual Director's Meeting and I am especially hopeful that nearly a ll of the Directors can arrange to be back . A notice and the agenda will be sent to yo u in the proper time.

"Business Portraits" is a regular Sunday feature in the Salt Lake City Tribune covering leading men in all branches of industry. MSM alumni are outstanding men in Utah and J. Bruce Clemmer '28 , is the second MSM alumni, that has been called to our attention, who has been featured in these Portraits. Bruce is Regional Director, U . S . Bureau of Mines, at Salt Lake City. He likes his work and upholds his boss , the government.

While some scientists these days are said to be complaining about the government being a hard task master in the field of pure research, he takes the opposite view. "Compared with private industry ," Bruce says , "the governmental technical agencies offer a much wid e r field of research and development. " At least that has been his experience after 27 years with the Bureau .

Mr. Clemmer was born at Coon Rapids, Iowa. As a youth he won a scholarship at the University of Iowa.

He was set on becoming a lawer until a boyhood friend returned from the South Dakota School of Mines enthused about the future in m e tallurgy.

"I didn't know what the word meant, but it sounded interesting ," said Bruce. He journeyed to Rapid City and "Fell in Love." It was not with metallurgy (that came later) but with the mountains.

The Iowan had never seen a hill over 50 feet high until he made the trip . Graduating with a B. S. degree from South Dakota in 1927, he came to the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy on a Fellowship to obtain a Master's degree. He became interested with minerals beneficiation at MSM where he seized the opportunity to continue investigation as a Junior Metallurgist with the U. S. Bureau of Mines, at Rolla.

While at Rolla, he married Miss Margaret Moakley of St. Louis , Mo., on his birthday anniversary , September 29 , 1928. His daughter , Kathy , age 13, was born on his birthday anniversary. The Clemmers have two other children, Mrs. Dorothy Nelson,

Salt Lake City , Utah, and Mrs. Emily Boe, Seattle, Washington.

At Rolla, Bruce a nd other researchers developed the first workable system of selective flotation of fluorspar. As a government employee, no royalties or patent rights accrued to Bruce in the U . S. But he has for some time received royalties on the fo reign patents on the discovery.

In 1939, Bruce was transferred to the Tuscaloosa, Alabama Experiment Station, as a Minera l Dressing Engineer. Here efforts were devoted toward completion of a mode of flotation on iron , phosphate and barite ores.

Transfer to the Tucson, Arizona Experiment Station, as Superintendent, came in 1945 . H e r e initial r esearch in the "acid cure process" which has apparent wide application in reduction of refractory copper and uranium ores, was developed . .

His appointment as head of the Salt Lake City Experiment Station came in 1952 . Subsequently, he was p laced in charge of all the Experiment Stations in Region 3, including operation at Tucson , Denver , Salt Lake City and Rapid City . About 50 per cent of the work at the Salt Lake City station, in the last few years, has b een connected with uranium.

Bruce says that sometimes he thinks the intermountain station is running a training school for the rest of the Bureau and for private industry. " As soon as an employee develops into a first rate researcher , he moves up and out," h e comments.

That's a compliment to his administration. And Bruce himself spends a lot of time helping his employees get promotions. "One thing about the government technical services , you get ahead by pulling people up with you--not b y pulling them down ," he says .

Two of MSM alumni are attaining distinction in a n ew fie l d - the field of materials handling which is the art and science of the movement of and storage of all types of materials .

L y nn Riege , ' 40 , is Past President of th e Chicago Chapter of the American Materials Handling Society, which is the world's l argest chapter of this organization. Lynn is now one of the national directors of the national organization. Lynn was an officer for three years of the Chicago section. The Sixth National Materials H a ndling Exposition was held in Chicago in May of 1955. Lynn served as Chairma n of the Sixth Annual Materia ls Handling Conference held in connection with the . exposition .

Ther e w er e a pproximately 850 people attending this confer ence from all over the world. .

In St. Louis , Austin Schuman, '42, is Past President of the St. L o uis Chapter of this organization and is now a national dir ector of the national orga nization.

This fi eld of materials handling is b eing highly r ecognized by indu stry, according to L y nn. An average of 22 % of the co ~ t of the consumer item is in the materials handling.

Materials handling adds nothing to

the val ue of the product; it only adds to its cost. The greatest progress in the fie l d of materials handling was made dur ing World War II and the Korean War due to the fact that large quantities of material had to be moved in a hurry and over various types of terrain. Lynn says that materials handling is among the last frontiers that industry has to reduce the cost of their manufactured items.

T. R. Beueridge, '4 1, Becomes Missouri State Geologist Dr. Thomas R. Beveridge '4 1, was appointed State Geologist , for the State of Misso ur i , by Governor Donn elly, to suceed Dr. Edward L. Clark who resigned to become an official of an uranium company in Colorado .

SON TO PAUL CARLTONS

This is Dean Wilson's third Do ctorate degree. He received the Ph .D degree from the University of Go erttingen, in Germany in 1928 and last year, Washington University , St. Louis, Missouri , conferred upon him the honorary degree of Doctor of Engineering.

The Paul Carltons '47, 6968 Thorndyke Road, Cincinnati, Ohio , are proud parents of a son, Charles Ernest. The youngster weighed seven pounds, 14 ounces. This is the Carltons third son. Their other boys are named Dick and Douglas . Prof.

"Skip" Carlton is the prouder grandparent.

John R. McDonald '53 , a Mining Engineering graduate, returned from Korea in July and was discharged from the Army. He is now seeking employment. Presently, he is living at 137 South Ninth Street, Newark 7, New Jersey.

Dean Signer likes his job. And from our observation, it is the fac et of engineering that is most satisfying to him.

Plans for Organizin9 New Alumni Sections Underway We have frequent inquiries from alumni wanting to know the location of Alumni Sections in certain geographic areas.

There are several areas that have a concentration of alumni but no active organization. A few of the areas are; the Southwest MissouriNortheast Oklahoma - Southwest Kansas Area; the Missouri Lead Belt Area; the New Orleans Area; the Dallas-Fort Worth Area and the Tulsa-Oklahoma City Area. We are hopeful that organizations can be started but it will take interested alumni in the areas to spearhead the movement.

During the summer, two alumni were in the office interested in initiating a section and we are aiding them the best we can

Ivan M. Niedling '40 , who lives at 826 Derwyn Road, Drexel Hill , Pa. , is going to attempt an organization of the alumni in the Philadelphia , Pa ., Area. Warren Roach '51, 313 East Spruce, Midland, Texas, is planning to organize the group in that area. Both of these alumni will be contacting the MSM men in their areas but due to the high mobility of engineers they may not know your present location. We suggest if you are interested, and reside in a reasonable distance of Midland, Texas or Philadelphia, Pa., that you write to Ivan or Warren expressing your Interest and desire to assist.

Metallur9Y Graduates Fewer in 1955 Than Preuious Year The American Society for Metals has recently pointed out that, in spite of the great demand in industry for metallurgical engineers, the 1955 graduates in this specialty represent a smaller number than last year.

Only 492 degrees in metallurgical engineering were awarded this year in the forty-nine institutions in the United States and Canada. as contrasted to the 549 degrees of last year, the society reported.

"Starting salaries in all engineering fields continue to give metallurgy top preference," a society statement pointed out.

"An average of better than $400 monthly for metallurgical engineers indicates the high preference for specialists in this field. The number of engineering students selecting metallurgy as a career is, therefore disappointing to both schools and industry."

Scott - Scott Miss Anna Lee Scott, of . Jefferson City, Mo. , and Melvin Dale Scott '49, were married at Eldon , Mo. , at the Hickory Hill Church , July 17, 1955.

The newlyweds will make their home in Coffeyville, Kansas.

Until recently, Mr. Scott has been with the Missouri State Highwa y Department and now is with the Kansas Highway Department, as inspector, with headquarters at Coffeyville .

Largest Appropriation Is Given to School Governor Phil M . Donnelly has signed a bill providing a r ecord appropriation of $1 ,800,000 for the Missouri School of Mines and M etallurgy to operate for the next two y ears. It is the largest single appropriation in th history of the school a nd r epresents one of the few times , in recent years , that a fund request h as b en met, almost totally , by the Missouri Legisl ature.

The appropr iation gives the school $421.000 more for operations durin g the 1956-57 biennium than wa s r eceiv e d for the current two years.

Cole '54 is now on duty at Goose Air Base project on the coast of L abrador. In March 1955 , he was called to active service and was sent to Ft. B elvoir Corps of Engin eer's School to take 14 weeks in En gineer Officer Basic Course. Upon comple tion of this course he was sent to his present assignment.

This project is under the jurisdiction of the E aste rn Ocean District , Corps of Engineers.

L t. Cole is a nativ e of Missouri, born at Jane, Missouri , attended high school at Granby, M issouri and received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering at MSM. Upon graduaton h e went to work for the Missouri State H ighway D epartm ent, at Joplin , Missouri , on general con struction supervision.

In comm e nting on the signing of the bill , Governor Donnelly said tha t the University of Misso uri and th e Misso uri School of Mines and M e tallurgy at Rolla have d emonstrated that they n eed mon ey beca us e of increase d enrollment.

The increase w ill b e used largely for higher salaries for the faculty and personnel an d add itions to th e t ea ching staff.

Th e appropriation r equ ested for additional buildings at MSM , must come from a $75, 000 ,000 issue which the governor proposed to the l egislature to m eet the immediate n eeds at the state's education a l and other institutions.

This $75,000 ,000 bond issue is to be placed b efor e the peopl e of Mistion in the near futur .

The original appropriation r equ est for buildings included the completion of the Engineering Laboratories Building to house th e Electrica l Engineerin g D epartme nt; a Classroom Buildin g ; Boile r and Turbin e for th e Power P lant a nd R ep a ir of Old Buildings.

These a dditional facilities are bad ly needed to m e t the r equirem en ts of the expanding nrollments .

The enrollm nt for the F all s m e ster is expect e d to r each 1900 or a n increase of n ea rly on -third over t h e F a ll semester of 1954.
