98th Commencement bpi", ·. 1971 Illl . 1971 '" 1971

The 98th Spring Commencement was held May 23rd in the Multi Purpose Building, at which 691 degrees were conferred. There were 485 bachelor degrees, 180 masters, 12 Ph. D's, 12 professional and two honorary doctorates.

in elecrtical engineering, spoke of education, the role of university in education, and how well UMR meets this role. " The strongest point about the University of Missouri," White said, "is the willingness, even eagerness, of the University-wide and campus administrations to listen to student and faculty opinions and to make decisions based strongly on these opinions. The feedback is necessary to the operation of the university, and our administration gathers much of it in frank , informal conversations with groups of students and faculty."

UMR Serves St. Louis Area Being in the St. Louis area is a good thing for the University of MissouriRolla and for St. Louis .

Just 100 miles southwest of St. Loui s, UM R find s itself in a position to serve this metropolitan area. in many ways.

Foremost in its services to St. Louis a re its supply of high quality technological manpower and the offering of technological research finds.

One of UM R 's most important contributions to St. Louis technological Manpower is the UM R Graduate Engineering Center. T his center offers Master of Science degree programs in the evenings for industry personnel who work by day. Around 800 students are enrolled a t the center in nine degree areas: Comp uter science, engineering management, engineering mechanic s, and chemical, aerospace, civil , electrical, mechanical and metallurgical engineering. Abo ut 11 2 St. Louis area companies send their employees to the center to pursue graduate degrees.

Graduate center faculty include professors in residence, professors who commute from UM R and industry personnel. Classes are held on the University of M issouri - St. Louis campus and in various St. Lou is company buildings.

Accordi ng to Dr. Anton deS Brasunas , director of the center, with UM R 's M ay commencement exercises, about 300 will have received M. S. degrees through through their work at the center since it began in 19 64.

" The center also aids underg raduate engineers in the St. Louis a rea," he says. "Industry personnel who are worki ng toward bachelor's degrees and who can fulfill prerequsiites, can take certain courses a t the center for credit toward their degrees. " The quali ty of UMR's academic programs and its easy accessibi lity from St. Louis draws many St. Loui s stud ents to the campus . Ap proxima tely 1,3 00 UMR students come from St . Louis and St. Louis Coun ty, about 25 per cent of 10

• • • •

the student body at UMR . About one third of the prospective new students for the coming fall semester at UMR are from St. Louis and St. Loui s County.

UMR's willingness to facilita te transferring from junior colleges and other universities has helped attract trans fer students from St. Louis. About on e third of UMR's transfer students com e from the St. Louis a rea. A special orientation and pre-registration program for transfer students is held on campus each summer. UMR also works closely with the St. Louis Juni or College District so that its faculty will know what courses UMR is teaching its engineering and science students.

A special program for UM R undergradua tes supplies e n g ineering an d science manpower to St. Louis area industries . In thi s cooperative training program, UM R student s alternate semesters of study with semesters of work in industry to gain experience in the field a nd to put themselves through coll ege financially .

G. E . Vaughn , director of the program, says tha t some 225 students (about half of the co-op enrollment ) are, working in this program with St. Louis industries. About 27 St. Louis companies are currently involved in the program . " From industry 's standpoint ," Vaughn says, " these students provide good technological manpower on a temporary basis while they are in school, and often students return to the industry for permanent employment upon graduation ."

Companies can also send their personnel to work toward undergrad ua te degrees a t UMR und er the co-op program. Also, co-op stud ents in St. Loui s ca n take some courses a t the UM R Gradua te E nginee,ing Center .

T o help carry out the mission of making research findings availa ble to St. Louis ind ustries , the UM R I ndus-

trial Advisory Council was established a nd first met on Oct. 27 . Thi s inJormal group is made up of representatives of a bout 10 St. Loui s area industries .

Among areas of emphasis for council di scussion s are the develo pment of research projects with practi cal industrial application and the solvin g of urban problems. However, thi s group also serves as a special counsel to the Rolla campu s, keeping UMR advised as to how it can continue to best meet the engineering needs of Greater St. Louis.

Always on ha nd to help St. Loui s a rea industries in research efforts is the UMR Industrial R esearch Center. This center refers ind ustrial requ ests to UMR faculty who are in volved in proj ects that mi ght be of interest to the industries.

Ma ny such UMR research proj ec t ~ a re applicabl e to the St. Louis metropolitan a rea. Among proj ects going on is one in the Transportati on Institu te - a driver-assistance system that is being tested and which will eventually tell the man at the wheel how to maneuver his car. The Graduate Center for Cloud Physics R esearch of the Space Sciences R esearch Center a t Rolla is conducting resea.rch which may lead to weather modification. Work in the E nvironmental R esearch Center is concern ed with all ty pes of pollution control. Many other research proj ects including work within the Transportation Institu te - are going on at UMR which could be put to use in a metropolitan a rea such as St. Loui s.

Various in terna tional symposia on campus make a worl d-wide offering of research findings available to pa rti cipa nts from St. Louis. Among such conferences recently held on cam pus were those on Alaska , low-cost hou sing, communica tions a nd in d u s tr i a I and urban waste contJ·oJ.

Miners Activate ...

Community and Organizations Benefit This is the age of the student activist , which may denote almost anything from participation in a sit-in or a war protest march to involvement in social or environmental problems.

At UMR, where most of the students are men and most are engineering or science majors, the students are no less concerned about the problems of society.

But at Rolla, the student activist is most likely to be found solving rather than discussing problems , or manning a hammer or a surveying instrument instead of a protest placard. Many utilize the special skills of the engineers and scientists.

With over 5,000 students and 123 student organizations on campus, it is impossible to know of all the service projects done either by groups or by indiyidual students. However , even a partial summary indicates something of the scope of volunteer effort by the UMR Miners.

Many of the Miners' projects are concerned with children who need help.

From the standpoint of money donated and numbers of students involved in collecting it, the annual UMR Ugly Man contest (sponsored by Theta Tau , professional engineering fraternit y) would have to be the biggest. This year a total of $7,992 was raised to help provide medical care for needy children and other projects with the Men 's Residence Halls Association (MRHA) winning the trophy for co 11 ec tin g $4,265 . Over the past 10 years , the fraternity has donated nearly $50,000 to projects in the local area.

The largest single project of the past year was $2,200 to the Skills Builder School for children with dyslexia (reading disability) . Funds were used to purchase special equipment and to help in remodeling the building, with volunteer work from In terco II eg i a te Knights, honorary service group.

June 1971

Besides medical aid from Theta Tau , a variety of Miners' projects have provided assistance for children at Boys' Town of Missouri in St. J ames, the Rolla Regional Di agnostic Cen ter, State School No. 23 for Retarded Children , the Rolla Cerebral Palsy School, Inc ., and the underprivileged.

dren. Many fr aternities - among them Tap Kappa Epsilon , Lambda Chi Alpha, Triangle, Sigma Nu , Sigma Pi, Pi Kappa Alpha and other campus organiations (such as the Independents) see to it that needy children are not left out of the fun at Halloween , Christmas, Easter and other special occasions. Their parents, too, are included , with many frat ernities and groups " adopting" welfare famili es at Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter.

They help, too , in other projects for the welfare office, such as stockpilin g wood for needy families. And the Interfraternity Council sponsors a clothing drive for the needy.

ORIENTATION About 1,000 freshman and transfer students who will enter UMR this fall will take part in orientation and preregistration programs this summer on campus.

The freshman program will consist of 13 two-day sessions from June 10 through July 21. Transfer students will be able to take part in the program on June 23 or July 14.

Both freshman and transfer students will meet faculty, students and administrators and pre-register for the fall semester. Freshmen will take an assortment of placement tests and will view a closed circuit television movie explaining all the different study areas offered at UMR.

(Ci tizens U ni ted to Restore the Environment) , local ecological organization.

While students have been busy in volunteer work, their wives have not been idle. The University Dames (student wives organization) sponsors a well -baby clinic open to everyone. And this year the Dames donated sandwiches and coffee to the Bloodmobile and the proceeds from a rummage sale (over $200) to the Rolla Planned Parenthood Association.

Although most of the service projects are for the area surrounding Rolla, the Miners influence is felt throughout the state and even overseas.

The student service program which involves the most students and most time is one which combines the efforts of the Wesley Foundation and Gamma Alpha Delta (fraternity service organization). For the sixth consecutive year, UMR students have worked in the inner city area of St. Louis. They have done such things as design and install electrical ,service, put in steam heating, plumbing and wiring at several churches and a parsonage, plumbing and carpentry at a community center and helping individual homeowners rehabilitate their homes. They also did general maintenance work - painting, carpentry and wiring - at two church camps and roofed a Methodist church at California, Mo. Closer to home they did painting, carpentry and floor refinish12

Rolla student efforts are now aiding victims of the cyclone and tidal wave disaster in East Pakistan last fall. The Student Council collected over $1300 for their relief.

It's a lot of work and takes a lot of time for the busy Miners, whose heavy schedule of engineering and science courses leave little extra time. But it's fun, too, they say. Perhaps it's best summed up by Jon Kremer, who as operations chairman for Theta Tau was in charge of fundin g projects. " It was the most fun I ever had ," he said, "getting to see the money we had worked for do so much good."

ATTENTION ASSOCIATION MEMBERS The following document is the proposed new Constitution and By-Laws for the Alumni Association. It represents the work of the Ad Hoc Committee of the Association which has been drafting the revision for over a year.

It is proposed to bring the Constitution and By-Laws to a vote of the membership at the annual meeting of the Association which will be held following the Alumni Banquet on Saturday, October 16, 1971. A two-thirds majority of m e mbers may adopt the Constitution and a majority of those present may adopt the By-Laws.

The new Constitution and By-Laws are the response to the Committee's charge from the Board of Directors to broaden the base of participation in Association affairs .

Jack R. Tennill & Associates, Inc. has played an important role in the recent commercial a nd industrial development of St. Louis County (Missouri) and other areas.

The firm was founded in 1965 by Jack Tennill '50, a professional registered engineer. During 15 years of work ranging from plant layo ut to design of exhaust , drainage and fire protection systems, T en nill came to recogn ize a widespread need for more comprehensive approaches to sys tems engineering.

This led him to start a company in which all aspects of systems engi neeri ng could be handled together in one coordinated package.

To achieve this, Jack Tennill & Associates forms design groups to work with developers, architects, structural teams and contractors on each new project. Such things as electrical and mechanical systems, Tennill himself says, " must grow with the overall building system - not to be added on after design is complete."

R.V. Wolf Receives AFS Citation

Such a broad range of work requires a staff with varied capabilities, and Jack Tennill has assembled a group of associates of diverse backgrounds. Included are specialists in mechanical and Robert V.
