Beta Sig's
The luck of the Irish brought forth a beautiful day, Saturnay, for the St. Pat 's parade. . Floats were entered by 13 UMR organizations depicting the theme , "Fa mous Voyages - Land , Sea and Air." Also in the line of march were non-float entries from other UMR organizations, twirlers, drill teams, Shrine motorcycle unit and an array of antique automobiles. In the float competition, Beta Sigma Psi, took first with their entry , " Lindy 's Spirit. " The float featured a replica of Charles Lindbergh's "Spirit of St. Louis. " " 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" was the theme of the second place winner designed by Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity and the Men's Residence Hall Association's "Noah's Ark" received the 4
HLucky Lindy"
third place award. The progress of the parade was slightly marred when the Delta Sig's "Mississippi Riverboat " bur s t into flames. The blaze was smothered with fire extinguishers without injury to anyone . The huge crowd that observed the parade, the largest to witness a parade in Rolla, acclaimed it the best ever. Alice and Omar performed at the Coronation Ball that followed the coronatino ceremonies Friday night in the Multi-Purpose Building. This was also the site of a concert Saturday afternoon by John Denver. His two-hour performance was before one of the largest audiences ever to assemble in the MultiPurpose Building.

Dr. Charles H. Sparks '44, Develops Method for New Artery Growth Dr. Charles H. Sparks '44, a Portland , Oregon, surgeon has developed a method by which patients can grow t.h eir own new arteries where they need th em to replace diseased vessels . The first p ublic description of the new procedure was given in a scientific ex hibit , by Dr. Sparks, in Atlantic City, N. ]., at the 57 th annual Clinical Congress of the American College of Surgeons last October. Since February 1971 , Portlanders have grown th eir own new arteries in five to eight weeks. Tn the two years prior to February , seven patient s grew segments of new arter ies in a more cumbersome procedure which used a metal die implanted in the ches t wall. This took from 30 to 4 months . The segments were cut out and used as successful transplants elsewhere in the body . The new p rocedure, which takes less time and cau ses less surgical trauma, uses a fl ex ibl e silicone mandril carrying two layers of knitted dacron tube which produces a stronger "grown in place" artery. It usuall y is implanted in the leg, from th e groin to below the knee, but t he arte ry ca n be grown elsewhere.
Wh en ready , the surgeon pulls out the inn er mandril , leaving the tisslleinfiltrated tube in place. In 10 o f 11 patients, the new artery is working well in the legs that had been cramped and pa ined by lack of blood fl ow , inchin g toward gangrene a nd possible amputation. This is the res ult of arteriosclerosis , the nation 's primary killer. In the eleventh case , two shorter mandril-grown arteries were used as transplants to replace the right and left common iliac arteries in the patient's abdomen. The first experimental patient of the seven to receive the die-grown arteries in 1969 - in his left leg - recently received a mandril grown artery in his right leg. 6
The four-year development was under research auspices of Good Samaritan Hospital and Medical Center and received funding from several Oregon agencies and foundation s. E xperimental work was done on dogs.
knitted dacron reinforcing prevents overstressing by blood flow. Because it is grown in place, it has rich blood supply and free ingrowth of blood vessels and connective tissue. The four methods used by Dr. Sparks in development of new artery technique were : silicone tubing and connection; single metal die; multiple metal die and last the fle xible silicone mandril.
The silicone mandril produces bigger and stronger arteries, grown in place with their own blood supply . Although conducted quietly for four years, the research project has been greeted with He is now working on a die which interest by other s urgeons and nine medical centers in the country are ex- may be able to grow the aorta and iliac arch. ploring its possibilities. In May of 1968 , Herb Mason , a 55 year old manufacturer 's agent of an auto parts firm began having cramps in his left leg, particularly when he walked too far and got tired.
Dr. Sparks earned his Bachelor of Science degree in chemical engineering, at Roll a , in 1944, and is now a thoracic and cardiovascular surgeon located at 2250 N. W . Flanders , Portland.
His physician , Dr. Robert Kulberg, diagnosed artery trouble. And as Mr. Mason relates ," He said it was serious and sent me down to a nice, young surgeon, Dr. Charles H. Sparks, to take a look and see what he thought of it. He approached me on the possibility of growing my own segments of new artery and took me down to th e lab and showed me the whole works.
In a note a few years ago Dr. Sparks sta ted , " I have my own research lab and spend about one-third of my time doin g biomedical engineering research. Thi s is a tremendous new field . It is a great field for a young man who wants to get an engineering degree and then a M. D. degree and specialize in a surgical specialty, "
The Sparks have five children, two " He also said it had never before boys and three girls. In remarking been done on a human being.

"A doctor and a patient are no better than their confid ence in each other. Dr. Kulberg said he was sure Dr. Sparks knew wha t he was doing, but it was certainly my decision ."

Mason was the fir st of several experimental patients to receive die-grown arteries. H e also recently became one of 11 to receive the improved silicone mandril-grown artery. The mandril-grown artery, now another alternate, does not require as much surgery as a transplant of the saphenour vein in the leg. It can be grown to proper size and is longer and stronger. The procedure of connecting - "anastamosing" - the graft to the diseased artery is easier. Its two-layer

St. Louis Section Lends a Hand Does every student who applies for admission and is accepted by UMR end up on the campus? Even after a prepayment of $20? No, says Bob Lewis UMR Director of Admissions and Registrar. In recent years about 18 % of the accepted applicants change their mindÂŁ before fall rolls around . Knowing that there will be a critical shortage of engineers and scientists within the next five years, the officers and members of the St. Louis Section decided to lend a hand . Working with Bob Lewis, they developed a " followup" contact program, to reach the accepted applicants from the St. Louis area. First a general Section meeting was called , and a number of alumni met in the Hospitality Room of the AnheuserBusch brewery, where they heard from Chancellor Baker on the importance of enrollment in engineering and the allied arts and sciences. Call cards were distributed, and alumni agreed to contact the prospective students who had been accepted for admission. Each took names of students from his neighborhood or high school. All cards were not distributed the first evening, as is usual in an operation of this type . So the troops mustered again on April 6 at the Fruin-Colnon executive offices for a telephone calling session. Participating were Matt Coco, Ray Hamtil , Leonard Kirberg, Andrew

Noflo Dan Lewellyn , Clarence Wagner , Bill Butcher and George Schillinger. The eight alumni made 176 calls, with 135 completed. The message content stressed friendliness and interest in the student's welfare , a low keyed approach of encouragement for the student to hold to his/ her interest as expressed in the application and conveyed an alumnus vote of confidence for his alma mater. Co-Chairman, Ray Hamtil and Lennie Kirberg, expressed a desire to make this a regular, yearly part of the Section 's activities. MSM-UMR alumni in out state Missouri have been asked by letter to contact accepted applicants from their locality , to encourage them to hold . to their educational plans. Kansas City and Jefferson City will be organized to pursue a program similar to the one originated by the St. Louis Section with Bob 's help. These programs are immediately concerned with students who have already been accepted for admission at UMR . However, every alumnus who is concerned with declining enrollments in engineering and scientific disciplines should make all effort, within his power, to encourage Junior High and High School students to take necessary courses so that they can retain the options which will allow enrollment in these disciplines when the need for engineers and scientists again becomes apparent to the lay public.
Denuer Meeting During the national convention of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists, in Denver , Colorado, April 16-19 , the UMR Alumni gathered for a luncheon Tuesday noon at the Denver Petroleum Club . T ed Heiser '39. Director of Area 8, and Dr. Robert J. M. Miller '50 , President of the Rocky Mountain Section of the Alumni Association arranged the luncheon, and Ted presided. Chancellor Merl Baker and Frank Mackaman and Ik e Edwards, from the Alumni Office, were present from the campus. Dr. Baker was the principal ¡ speaker and gave the group pertinent information concerning the University , enroll-
ment, placement and engineering education. Those attending the luncheon were : J ohn Bri xius '47 , R . W. Cowan '5 7, Thor Gjelsteen '53 , F . W.

Student Wit ness Apollo 16 Launch A group of 18 UMR students and two of their faculty advisers had a " once in a lifetime experience" the second week in April. They made a flying trip to Florida at the invita tion of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to witness , in person, the launch of Apollo 16 at Cape Kennedy. All students were members of the student branch of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and are majors in mechanical and aerospace engi neering. " Seeing the actual launch is so much better than watching it on television ," says Charles Blair, chairman of the student AIAA group. " You just can 't imagine how big that rocket is, and , the flames and noise are fanta stic. We had a perfect day for seeing everything and taking pictures. We could see the actual rocket until after the second staging. Some of the guys even saw the first stage fall away but I was so busy taking pictures, I mi ssed that. " While in Florida the group sta yed at th e F lorida Institute of Technology in Melbourn e. They toured NASA faciliti es , including the Gemini , Mercury and Apollo launch pad s as well as the vehicle assembly building. Dr. Robert B. Oetting, professor of mecha nical and aerospace engineering and Bruce P. Selberg, associate professor in the same department , accompanied the group. Essentially , the students paid their own way. They did receive some financial assistance from the national AIAA organization through the St. Louis chapter of the same group. 9
Alumni Dollars Help. Staff members of the UMR student radio station, KMSM-FM, got some unaccustomed but welcome exercise early in February. Seven used desks and a work table were loaded on a truck in East St. Louis, brought to Rolla and placed in the KMSM-FM studio after considerable re-arrangement of furniture and space requirements. " I think this is the first time KMSM
• •
has ever received a gift of any kind," enthused Jay Walker , the station's public relations director stated , "And, we can sure use this furniture ." Two separate groups are responsible for the new look at KMSM studio. D . L. Dreimeir of the Ralston Purina Corporation, called the station in December and said that the used or surplus desks and work table were avail-
able if the students could do something about them within seven days. At that time KMSM had no money to transport the furniture to Rolla so they usurped storage space in a garage at the home of a UMR student who lives in East St. Louis, Ill. In early February the UMR Alumni Association came to their rescue and provided another gift for the station . A little over $100 was given to the crew of seven students to rent a truck to bring the desks and work table to Rolla. (A deposit of $40.00 was returned to the Alumni Association.) "This new equipment provides a lot better use of our limited space here in the Old Ca feteria Building," Walker continued. "It gives us more working area for the news and sports departments. We certainly are grateful to the Ralston Purina Corporation and the MSM-UMR Alumni Association."
Ecological Lectures The Engineering Management Department of the School of Engineering presented a series of lectures on " Industry 's Ecological Responsibilities." The three lectures were sponsored by a grant from the S & H Foundation and outlined the responsibilities and limitations of industrial organizations in controlling environmental pollution. Emphasis was placed on the effects that social responsibilities have on engineering/management ecological decisions. The first lecturer was Governor Warren E. Hearnes. His topic was "Considering the Social Responsibilities in E ngineering/Management Ecological Decisions." The second in the series of lectures was p resented April 7, by Thomas M. Fisher. Mr . Fisher is administrative assistant to the General Motor's Vice President and executive in charge of the environmental activities staff in Detroit, Mich igan. H is talk was entitled "Environmental Decisions and T heir Conflicts With the Firm 's Goals and Ob jectives."

Jerome H. Svore, regional administrator for ~egion VII, E nvironmental Protection Agency, in Kansas City, Mo., was the third lecturer. He discussed "Environmental Responsibilities and Industrial Organizations in Our Society." April 1972

Alumni-Faculty-Student Program Initiated by Alumni Association It was an experimental program , no one knew how it would come out, but the Board of the Association had fa ith and provided a budge t , appointed a committee to plan and implement a program, and it was a success. Alumni from as far away as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Oklahoma plus others from closer to the campus congregated on April 13 for a " kick-off " dinn er and on Friday spent the day with faculty o f the various departments to t ell th em how it is and to li sten. It was an informal day , the at mosphere was conductive to a fr ee interchange of id eas , and ideas were interchanged . At the luncheon on Friday , halfwa y reports from the participating departments were made, an alumnus , a student and a faculty member each acting as a spokesman . It was already evident that the program had opened here- to-fore u nknown channels of communication . There was a preva iling spirit of cooperation , a sense of community and , for the first time in recent yea rs, an overt recognition of the common purpose which unites alumni with faculty a nd students .

This was the second consecutive year in the second spot for the Rolla campus , which specializes in engineering and science education. The top three engineering institutions in B. S. degrees g ra nted were Purdue University , 895; UMR , 82 1; and the University of Illinois - Urbana , 735. UMR was also sixth nationally in the number of M. S. degrees, moving up from 12th place las t year. When compared with o thers in the sa me fi eld , most of UMR 's und erg raduate engineering programs were nea r the top nationally in numbers g raduated. C ivil engineerin g remained in the number one spot and engin eerin g managem ent , (which was listed for the first time a s a sepa rate field) was a lso first.

99th Annual Commencement At 2:00 p. m., Sunday, May 14, 1972, the Multi-Purpose Building at 10th and Bishop will be filled to overflowing. This academic event outdraws any of the more usual athletic events which are frequently held there. Family and friends of the graduating students will be waiting for the arrival of the academic procession. In the meantime, weather premitting, the candidates for degrees, the faculty, and campus and university administrators will be lined up on the track surrounding New Jackling Field ready to march to the ceremonies. All the details will be in the care of the Marshalls, they will see that the Fifty Year Men of the Class of 1922 are in the proper place and will be seated so as to be available when it becomes time for them to receive the Fifty Year Medal from the Chancellor. And this year there will be an added attraction for Eva Hirdler Greene , Bachelor of Science, 1911 will cross the platform to receive the Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering, the degree she did not get in 1911, but for which she is fully qualified and which the facuIty voted to confer , in 1972. Soon Commencement will be a memory, one to be recaptured with pleasure.
Band to Capitol, Entertained by Alumnus Eighty student members of the UMR band participated in the National Cherry Blossom Festival the first weekend in April. The UMR band was one of only 12 college-level musical groups in the United States to receive an invitation to participate in the festival. One of their appearances was in the Grand Parade, April 8. They participated in other festival activities and did a lot of sightseeing. Accommodations for the band were furnished at Fort Leslie J. McNair, under the auspices of the ROTC, co-sponsors of the UMR band. Each year the UMR band makes a spring trip. This year they also received their 10th consecutive invitation to appear at the Memphis Cotton MSM-UMR Alumnus
Carnival. They had to decline the invitation , however, because the carnival dates conflicted with UMR's final examination schedule. Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Jennings '30, Chevy Chase, Maryland, entertained the UMR Band for Brunch at the Columbia Club in that city. The Band helped Mr. Jennings celebrate his birthday, which fell on April 9, the Sunday he hosted the Brunch. The ninety in the traveling party were joined by Mr. and Mrs. John Toomey '39, the Association's Area Director and Miss Ann Symington, a Parade Princess and her escort.

UMR Host MfAA Aquatic Meet On March 3-4, UMR hosted the MIAA Conference swimming and diving meet. The M iners swam exceptionally well but fini shed second to the defending champions, Southwest Missouri State a t Springfield . The final scores were SMS (119 .5) , UMR (114.5) , SEMS Cape (66) , Warrensburg (41) and Maryville (28) . The Miners had been pointing toward
this meet all year especially after the Miners defeated SMS in a dual meet in Rolla by a 25 point margin. The number of records set by the Miners reflects how well they swam. Jack Belshe took first place in the 200-yard butterfly with a 2:09.5, a new pool and varsity record. Tim Blood won the 50 freestyle with Ron Dutton, UMR premier diver, right behind in third place. Bill Kroeger won the 100yard backstroke with a time of :59.3, a new varsity record and only two tenths of a second off the MIAA record. The Miners however were defeated in all three of the distance events by the most valuable swimmer in the MIAA, Ben Green of SMS. Green won the 200, 500 and 1650 yard freestyle events to pace the Bears in their third consecutive MIAA swimming title. The Miners were able to finish in second place in all three events but the Bears were able to hold on in the other races to keep the MIAA trophy.
Two Miners on A"-Conference Team UMR's Rich Peters and John Williams head the MIAA all-conference basketball team . The other first team members include Zack Townsend , of SMS, Springfield ; Lincoln U's LaMont Pruitt and Cape's Andrew Reid. The selection of Peters and Williams marked the first time that two Miner players have ever been named to the first team the same year. Peters also won the conference Sportsmanship Award .. Peters became the third Miner to win that . award during Billy Key's tenure as head coach. Ralph Farber was the recipient in 1965 followed by Rich Cairnes in 1966. Peters, a 6-8 junior center, was picked on the second team last year. This year he led the MIAA in field goal accuracy with a .566 percentage and was eighth in free throw attempts with a .771 percentage. Peters was the conference 's fifth leading scorer with a 17 .5 average and fourth leading rebounder with an average of 11.1 per outing. Williams, a 6-5 junior forward , earned a spot on the all-conference April 1972
