In 1964 plans were conceived for a new University Center on the Rolla campus. The structure was visualized as a focal point for recreational, social and cultural activities for the benefit . of students, the university family a nd guests. It was to contain a cafeteria, game rooms, TV lounge, browsing library, music room , art exhibition area, a large multipurpose room , an auditorium , student organization offices, conference rooms and meeting rooms .

The site for the structure was the block bounded on the west by Main Street, on the north by 12th Street, on the east by Rolla Street and on the south by 11 th Street.

In 1965 plans were initiated for the Centennial Challenge Program, a fund raising drive to provide support for student aid, faculty development, off campus programs, research , building projects and equipment. The number olle priority of the program was to secure private funds to assure that the University Center would become a reality.

Original plans were for 100,000 square feet of space at a total cost of $3.2 million. It soon became evident that escalating building costs would not permit construction of the originally planned building to be started in 1970. In order to expedite the plans a decision was reached to divide the building program into two phases and Phase I was initiated.

Phase I of the University Center is now a reality. This beautiful building contains over 40,000 square feet of space. It was built at a cost of $2 ,285 ,000 and funded by $574,000 in private gifts, $2 11 ,000 in reserved student fees a nd $1,500,000 in general revenue bonds, underwritten by future student fees.

The new building contains a plush cafeteria which can accommodate 250 persons for the ultimate in dining pleasure. There is a spacious game ro01TI with 18 pocket billiard tables and four official-type table tennis tables. A color television area and an exhibition area are located adjacent to the main entrance. These areas can be subdivided for flexibility.

MSM Alumnus

On the second floor there is a carpeted lounge which provides quiet and comfort, a large multi-use room which can seat up to 575 for meetings and 400 for dinners, three conference rooms which can be used for meetings and special dinners, a student activities center and an office for the University Center Program Director.

A week of events have been planned by the Student Union Board to cele-

brate this festive occasion. Please refer to the schedule of events shown in the adjacent column. We extend an invitation to all alumni and friends to be present at the dedication ceremony and banquet on Friday, March 30, 1973.

We know all Miners will be justly proud of this new facility.

We are now embarking on Phase II of the University Center. The priority item will be a 900 seat theater type (Continued on Page 5)

Engineering Research Building Dedicated Th ere was a full day of activities F eb ruary 17 th, the day of the dedicatio n of the new E ngin eerin g R esearch Building on the UMR campus.

In additio n to the ded ication , the Misso uri Society of Professional Engineers ga thered for their eleventh annual awards banquet in the evening with C hancellor Merl Baker as speaker.

An env ironmenta l seminar was held in th e Centen ni a l Room o f the new U niversity Center beginning at 8 :00 a. m .

The speakers were representa ti ves of the news med ia , engin eerin g and environmentali sts. They were J erry W .

Ven ters, capitol co rrespondent for the St. Louis Post Dispatch ; Daniel J. Watkins, con s ultin g eng in ee r wit h H oward , eedles, Tamm en and Bergendoff, K ansas City ; a nd J erome H .

Svore , regional administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency in K a nsas City. The topics d iscussed were plans for the M eramec River ; proposed

nu clear plants and development o f the Oza rks.

In 196 7, th e legi lature of 1isso uri appropria ted 1.3 million for a faci lity to house engi neering resea rch devo ted prima ril y to the soluti on of environmental problems. In 1968, the Offi ce of Edu ca tion endorsed the effort with the appropriation of an addit ional $400,000.

R esearch space within the building totals 30,000 square feet. It also contains office space for the dean o f the School of Engineerin g and for fac lllty and s tude nts who work on the research proj ects. " The phi losophy of .the work being done in t his building," says Dr. J. Stuart J ohnson, dean of the School o f Engin eerin g and director of the Engineering R esearch Building, " is to bring together fa cu lty members from severa l departments. W e fe el they will interact

in a positi ve way becau e of the close prox imity of th eir resea rch I roject .

Thi s, in turn , will encou rage th e developmen t of more interdi ciplinary research projects. " H oused in the building at the pre ent time are facu lty member from the departments of civi l, electrical, mechanical and chemical engineerin g. Research projects directed by mo t of these professors deal wi th improvement of the environm ent a nd many relate directly to the state of M is ouri. A stud y of enviro nmental factors involved in 1issouri 's " New L ead Belt" (a n interdisciplinary proj ec t utili zin a several depar tments on the UM R and the olumbia camp uses) is directed from of fi ces in the new building. R esearch work on the Misso uri Ri ver is al 0 directed from the new faci lity. Thi particular study envolves facu lty and students from fiv e different universities .

within the building are: studies of the combined effect of wind and waves on the movement of oil spills ; noise pollution ; mass transportation , and electronic research on measuring various properties of the environment and energy conversion. On the roof of the building is an air sampling device to test for air pollution.

We feel we are fortunate to have this facility on our campus," Dean Johnson concludes. " We are sure it will prove to be a valuable asset to the citizens of Missouri. Benefits to the state of research carried on here will more than justify its expense."

The architectural firm for the building was Froese, Maack and Becker, St. Louis, Missouri. The general contractor was Moval Contractors, Inc., Washington , Mo., and mechanical contractor was Associate Engineering Co., St. Louis , and the electrical contractor was Howerton Electric Co., Jefferson City.

auditorium with stage, dressing rooms and storage area. Other needed facilities would be medium-sized meeting rooms (capacity, 25-50) , space for student media (the Miner, Rollamo and KMSM) , an informal coffee house and a student dark room.

Based on present construction costs it is estimated the entire Phase II costs will be $2.2 million. The auditorium segment, comprising some 14,000 square feet is estimated to cost $1 million.

Funding for Phase II must come entirely from private sources. As of February I , 1973, there was $173 ,666.73 in cash and $427 ,673 .76 in pledges toward Phase II. MSM Alumnus

Grol09Y ~ Geophy sics Recei ues Gift From ttTed" Lynton The Department of Geology and Geophysics, UMR, is indebted to Edward D. LYl1ton, MSM Class of 1912 , for his generous gift of a fine collection of geological and geophysical maps and some of his papers. These will be of immense value as teaching aids in Petroleum Geology classes and have historical value as welL Mr. Lynton has had a distinguished career in exploration for oil , gas , uranium and copper in many areas in the United States as well as in northern Africa, Europe, Venezuela and Mexico.

In 1943 , he was named Chief of Procurement and Development, Foreign Economic Administration for the United States in Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco, an . imp'o rtant assignment because of the significance of the oil and gas potential of these two countries to the strategy of World War II. He later served as a consultant for the Defense Department, for the French government , E CA in Pari s. He also had consulting assignments in Spain and PortugaL His flu ency in Spanish and French was an asset in these assignments .

In appreciation of his work in Morocco, Edward Lynton received the decora tion of Commander of Ouissam Alovite, highest grade from Mohamed V of Morocco.

He was the first to recognize the potential value of soils as a tool in petroleum exploration and the first geologist to initiate magnetometer work in the United States.

Mr. Lynton has also patented two devices to assist in the orientation of drill cores.

He and Mrs. Lynton (Gertrude) reside at 422 Beloit Street, Kensington, California.

Chancellor Speaker MSPE Banquet Chancellor Merl Baker was the featured speaker at the 11 th annual awards banqu et of the ,Missouri Society of Professional Engineers (M. S. P . E.).

The banquet was held in Rolla on Feb. 17 as an introduction to national Engineers Week.

Speaking on " Engineering: Necessary for an Improved Environment," Chancellor Baker said , " The national emphasis on pollution control and solution of societal problems will drastically increase the demand for engineers and is another dimension of expansion not felt in the past. Another factor increasing the demand for engineers is numbers going into new fields such as insurance and finance .

"The modern day four-year engineering graduate from the better institutions in the United States is primarily trained as a decision maker and a problem solver," he continued . "He is broadly trained , but has the advantage of having a good balance of science, mathematics, liberal arts and engineering that gives him a focused outlook. He knows that his decisions have to be technically sound, but also that they must be socially beneficial and economically feasible.

Engineering graduates of the past primarily were tau ght to make sound technical decisions, so the new look requires much more of the four-year graduate.

Dr. Baker defined the difference betweeflti1enew look engineer and the technician and urged that educational institutions, industry and government should make clear distinctions between them . H e proposed that engineering schools should be supervising the training of technicians just as medical schools supervise the training of most of the para-medical personneL After giving an outline of engineering education and status of engineers in Russia, Dr. Baker concluded, "America must be urgently concerned about the high probability of a shortage of engineers and scientists to meet its needs this decade. It must be awa re of the tremendous strength of other countries as more than one of these are likely to be ahead of us. I believe we are facin g a serious shortage of manpower and womanpower in engineering and science, but, I have confidence that our system will enable us to meet it."

He is broadly trained , but has the advantage of having a good balance of science, mathematics, liberal arts and engineering that gives him a focused outlook. He knows that his decisions have to be technically sound, but also that they must be socially beneficial and economically feasible. Engineering graduates of the past were primarily taught to make sound technical decisions, so the new look requires much more of the four-year graduate.

A four-year engineering graduate can enter many fields of employment, without further training and even in the tight job market of 1970-72, found that these opportunities were numerous. But (;ven more important ; it is increasingly evident that the "new look four-year engineering graduate" has an excellent foundation for added further specialization. Study fields for which he is qualified to pursue graduate work in engineering for those who desire to make more advanced technical decisions or do research. The modern four-year graduate in engineering is well-qualified to pursue law, medicine, business, government and management. For the practice of engineering, he may find that a professional emphasis degree, Master of Engineering, would be rewarding. A student entering a good four-year engineering program today does not have to decide on his career until four years later. He is starting on a foundation that has unlimited opportunities.

tributions to the engineering profession.

His interest in his alma mater and his profession has never waned. Even on his extented journeys overseas one might find him in the Balkans or in Russia with a geological map in hand reading it as familiarly as he would a road map.

This gift of the professional collection to his alma mater will benefit many embroyonic petroleum geologists as they train for careers in the profession in which Karl was so eminently successful.

MSM Alumnus

Insurance and finance are fields not attractive to the engineering graduates of the past, but the "new look" engineer will find these most attractive , and he is qualified to make decisions and solve problems in these fields that are most difficult for persons with a different educational base.

During his four-year engineering program , he is urged to pursue related fields of interest such as music, art history, or literature as these supplements can be most important to the modern day decision-maker and problem-solver.

The basic objective of engineering is to take the discoveries of mathematics and science and apply these to solve the problems of society. He is the interface between scientific and technological knowledge and people. He creates machines aand processes to benefit people and does not make people slaves to machines. There is little that the medical profession can do to change the physiology of man, but the engineer has almost an unlimited opportunity to change man's environment to better serve him.

$33,000 Grant From USAID For Brasilia, Brazil The Board of Curators has accepted a grant of $33,000 from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID-Brasilia-Brazil).

The grant enables UMR to initiate a cooperative program in the state of Para, Brazil, to explore and develop the Amazon River Basin.

Within the next few months, UMR will send members of the faculty to Para to conduct seminars on hydrology and geology for personnel of Para 's State Development Agency and the faculty and students of the Federal University of Para.

N ext fall , agency and U niversi ty personnel will be brought from Para to UMR for further training in geology and hydrology. Long-range plans for the program include the possibility that

a UMR professor of geology and a professor of hydrology will live in Belem , the state capital of Para , for two years. They would directly assist Para technicians in exploration and development of the Amazon areas.

It is hoped that the program will also be expanded to include con sultation in the areas of forestry and soils . If so, thi s will involve personn el from the Columbia campus.

The USAID program with the University and state of Para is under the direction of Dr. Robert E. Carlile, director of the Center for International Program and studies at UMR.

More on the Numbers Game Referral cards from alumni are being returnei to the Admissions Office as a result of the mailing made to all alumni at the end of January. Some, recognizing the seriousness of the enrollment dilemma, have asked about further efforts they can make toward reversing the present trend. Perhaps obvious is the suggestion that you bring your own Cl1iTcIren to visit the campus, even those of junior high age. Many of us are not alert to the opportunities we have for influencing teachers and administrators that we know. Do they have information on UMR? It's easy to get, a postcard to the Admissions Office will start it on its way.

Many companies support scholarships , fellowships and professorships.

Is UMR on your company list? Often a word is enough to assure consideration. Sometimes you will be asked to counsel with prospective students, or to participate in "Career Days " in your community, your help will be appreciated and some young person will be helped . Funds provided through your interest may help pay part of the fees of one who could not attend otherwise.

Your memory of Rolla, if it is typical , will be pleasant. You remember a school and faculty with interest in you and your success. Come back the next time you are invited, in fact you don't have to wait for an invitation for you are welcome anytime. You will see something you will want to spread the word about, and that will mean more fine students at UMR. 7

The affable dean is not just talking out of the top of his administrative mortarboard. He has been on the academic firing line , teaching freshman chemistry at both Iowa State University and Kansas State University where he was head of the department. These teaching assignments he particularly enjoyed, and the feeling was mutual. Students voted him " Professor of the Year " in the College Sciences and Humanities at Iowa State and "Chemistry Professor of the Year" at K-State.

Dean Daane conducting a seminar "A Footnote to the Periodic Table ."

Since coming here in September, he has been pleased with the emphasis on good teaching he has found on the entire campus, and the quality of instruction in the College of Arts and Sciences, especially at the freshman level. "Unlike many larger institutions, where beginning students rarely see anyone other than a graduate assistant, UMR exposes students to the best we have early in their college career," he points out.

H e has been equally impressed with the excellence of the arts and sciences faculty. "As a part of a technological institution , the science departments here have always been strong. H owever, for many years, the two liberal arts departments taught mos tly service courses.

Through increasi ng support and careful faculty additions, they have grown into very good departments with excellent faculties who are making real scholarly contributions."

He feels that continuing development of these areas is essential not only because they are important in their own right as degree granting departments.

This is also in line with the necessity for engineers and scientists to be more knowledgeable abo ut psychology, social

problems, economics and things of this sort - to be aware of the social responsibility of technology," he states.

This interaction of humanities and social sciences with technology was one of the challenges that brought Dr. Daane to UMR. "I like the fact that it has a highly technical orientation , which is my background, but does have strong support for the arts and sciences.

I like the size of the campus, and the faculty with whom I'm associated."

Within his profession as a chemist, Daane's special interests are those which tie him even more closely to UMR's traditional strength in the fields of minerals and metals. At Iowa State, where he received his Ph. D. in 1950, his thesis problem was the preparation of less familiar metals in the periodic table, three of which (Europium , Samarium and Ytterbium) had never been prepared before: "We went into the whole area of the preparation of these metals, determining all their properties.

It was very exciting," he reports. For the past 13 years he has been a member of the National Academy of Science Rate Earth Elements Committee. He is also a member of the American Society for Metals and the American Institute of ,Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers as well as the American Chemical Society.

"Exciting" and "challenging" are two words that crop up frequently in Dean Daane's conversation as he talks about UMR, the College of Arts and Sciences and the future. He finds a joy in teaching and being an administrator.

Friendly and enthusiastic, he and his wife, Jean, are already "at home" in Rolla and with UMR students and faculty.

"UMR is my kind of university," Dean Daane says.

And Dean Daane is UMR's kind of dean.

Dr. Thomas Day '31 Retires Retirement for Dr. Thomas Day '32, means more than an end to his duties as manager of the Technical Center of Union Carbide Co., South Charleston, W. Va ., it will also slacken his whirlwind pace of community activities.

During the past year, he estimates, he attended approximately 240 breakfasts, luncheon and dinner meetings of the many organizations with which he has been involved.

Among the various positions he has held during his six-year stay at the Technical Center are: ,trustee of Harvey Morris College, member of the advisory board of the West Virginia College of Graduate Studies, trustee of the United Fund, officer of both the West ' Virginia and Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce, campaign chairman of Sunrise and executive board member of the Buckskin council.

He will continue serving fnother year as officer of the Charleston Area Chamber of Commerce, but the other activities will be phased out.

Day "backed into" a career as a chemical company manager from his earlier involvement in education. After 13 years on the faculty of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy, he joined the Manhattan Project at Columbia University in 1944. This project was later assumed by Carbide and thus he became a company employee.

He went to the Kanawha Valley in 1946 to work on the coal utilization project and later serve'd as operations director when ' the project was converted to other uses at the Institute Plant.

He went to the Technical Center, in 1966 , where he headed the 200-employee services department.

Short range plans calls for his spending more time at his Putnam County farm. To , he has considered moving to a retirement community in North Carolina and opening a small picture framing business.

The Day's address now is 2302 Winchester Road , South Charleston , West Virginia.

Ceramic 'Materials Conference The Third Ceramic Materials Conference sponsored by UMR in cooperation with the International Glass Commission will be held June 3-7 in Baden Baden, Germany.

In this extension activity of UMR's ceramic engineering department, the subject covered will be the measurement, origin and interpretation of "Relaxation Processes in Glass."

Dr. Norbert J. Kreidl, professor of ceramic engineering, at UMR, and internationally recoginzed expert in the field is the conference director.

The four-day program will consider the following principal topics; the relaxation processes to structure; mechanical, electrical, and magnetic relaxation processes associated with cation diffusion and experimental measurement techniques.

Special emphasis is being given to the mechanisms responsible for relaxation processes occuring in the glass in both the annealing and normal use temperature rand and dependance of the mechanisms upon phase separation, cation mobility and distribution , thermal history and glass composition.

The conference fee is $65.00. The conference language is English.

Dr. Proctor Visits Alumnus in Bangkok In a recent vi sit to Bangkok , Thailand , Dr. Paul Dean Proctor , university professor and director of the Water Resources Research Center at UMR, reported two unique happenings there.

First he saw a car bearing a Thai¡l and license pla te carrying a prominent MSM-UMR decal in the rear window.

Probably the only one in this southeastern Asia country.

Anant Suthipasrwl1'upon '65 gives Dr. Paul Dean Proctor a letter with his contribution to the 1973 Annual Alumni Fund enclosed to deliver to the alumni office.

cit project

DAWSONS He expects its practical application to be ideal for industrial parks.

Diane 's professional environmental interest is from a different angle. As a mechanical engineering stu den t , her main emphasis has been on interior environmental systems (air conditioning and heating systems) and on mechanical apparatus that would be non-polluting.

Both the Dawsons got into engineering because of their aptitude and enthusiasm for high school mathematics and science courses. Engineering is a predictable career choice for a young man , but for Diane it was more unusual (women make up only about one per cent of the nation 's professional engineers , although tests indicate that women have as much natural aptitude for the field as men). In spite of the initial skepticism from her mother (who felt the field was unfeminine) she was not deterred. She has found engineering to be even more interesting and challenging than she had imagined , with no problem of acceptance in her almost all-male classes. " The men don 't give me any special privileges or leave me out. They expect me to do the same work as they have, and I do."

Along with being a top-ranked meMSM Alumnus

chanical engineering student, Diane is expert in the more traditionally feminine arts . She's a good cook , a talented seamstress who makes most of her own clothes and' some of Pete's, and she knits and crochets in her spare time.

The Dawsons are currently sending out application letters and interviewing for jobs. Placem ent officials say that the woman engineer is the most sought after by recruiters, and as a top student , Diane is already receiving requests from companies for interviews . " People keep asking us which one will make the first choice on a job," they report with amusement. The answer is C'neither." Diane is serious about making engineering a lifetime career, and Pete thinks her ' career is as important as his. Their final choice will depend mostly on location , with opportunities for both in an area they like.

With a predicted upswing in the job market (the College Placement Council predicts a 27 per cent increase in the demand for engineering graduates this spring) everything looks ro s y for UMR's most outstanding student couple. And with engineers like them on the job, the future of the environment looks rosier, too.

The second event occured on the Bangkok University campus . Here Dr. Proctor received an envelope carrying a check addressed to the MSM-UMR Alumni Association. The donor was Anant Suthipasnarupon, a graduate of the Class of '65 , and now a mine manager for the Jalaprathan Cement Company, Cha-Am, Pe1chburi, Thailand.

Anant and his wife hosted the UMR professor while in Bangkok, including an evening at the internationally famous Piman 's -where the classic Thai dances and food are specialities.

Anant expressed his appreciation for ¡ the education he received at UMR and how it had qualified him for his responsible position in the cement industry.

Incidently, the MSM Alumni Office received the check.

Alumni Interu iewers The Placement Offi ce on the campus advises the alumni office of alumni who return to interview for their employers.

The faculty appreciates this service too, to learn of their form er students who may be back assisting in their compa ny 's personnel department in employment problems.

Those who have been on the campus recently are ; Rex Alford '40, Continental Oil Company ; James La tham '65 , James Bayless '67 , Black & Veatch Consulting Engineers, Kansas City , Mo. ; James West ' 56, Michael Ulrich '69 and David Lee ' 71 , International Business Machines.

The 1973 cage season , for the Miners, has ended with a 15-11 overall and 8-4 conference record . The best in the history of the university, but, not quite good enough to end in the top position.

They did advance to third place, withou t sharing, as in the 1972 season.

The conference teams were unusually strong and the Springfield Bears, who are number one in the conference, ended with a 9-3 record in league play, one of the three being a Miner victory .

est in single

The Miners will lose the services of Richard Peters, John Williams, Rodney LaGrand, and John Ladner through graduation .

As we go to press, all conference games have not been completed. No doubt there will be Miners on the AlIConference team and leading in conference records in many facets of the game .
