Pete Mattei can look back on his tenure as President of the MSM-UMR Alumni Association with considerable pride. He has had many accomplishments which are not a matter of public record, and many that are. It is a few of the latter I would like to share with you .

To begin with , Pete was chairman of the committee to revise the constitution and by-laws and he undertook that task wi th the objective of spreading the involvement of alumni in the affairs of the Association and University. A look around the room t onight will attest to the accomplishment of his objective .

The directors of the Association now represent all areas of alumni population, and the vice-presidents provided for in the constitution will be carrying out assigned duties in the vital fields of student recruitment, public resource d~velopment, liaison with the fund raising council. and in the extension of memberships.

For years the gifts of Danie l Jackling have been administered by the University for the benefit of MSM-UMR students; but it was Pete, with his interest in extending educational opportunities to more students, who appointed the Jackling Fund Committee to fulfill the responsibilities imposed on the Association by the Will of Jackling. This committee sought and received the cooperation of the Curators and income from the Jackling Educational Fund now supports the summer institute for secondary school students under the Jackling Minerals Industries account.

Pete , as President, provided the leadership which resulted in the annual Alumni-Student-Faculty conference; and he has been a regular participant in this unique day on campus when the groups come together to their mutual advantage.

And, although it may seem out of character for Pete to raise objections over anything, he really didn't like to have the Alumni Office housed off-campus, over the pool parlor, across the street from the beer hall . There are some in the room who know how it is when Pete gets his teeth into something; and the Alumni Office is now beautifully housed in Harris Hall, and it is purely co-incidental that Harris Hall once housed the CE department. And the parking lot is being paved too!

Pete has some ideas which require money, and he raised that too . In 1971 the Alumni Annual Fund brought in $47,912 .72, and in 1974 (the Fund year ended on August 31) $60,109.38 - that's up more than $12,000. And from 1971 to .1974 total Association income went up from $53,361.94 to $72.418.17 - that's an increase of more than $19 ,000. Those of us who sit in Board meetings with Pete know hd is apt to express an opinion from time-to-time. He likes to help students, but he likes to have students help themselves. So there is a brand new program on the UMR campus, the Educational Assistant Program, and the Association finances the student work-education projects supervised by faculty.

And since 1971, the R. E. Dye scholarships have been increased from 4 per year to eleven, there is new mailing equipment on hand, and the balanced budget is a reality.

It wouldn't be fair to you out there if I didn't tell you that Pete doesn't refer to Rolla as the south campus of anywhere.

Pete went after the facts and brought them to the attention of the proper authorities, and the UMR alumni operation finally began to get more than token monies from the University coffers for expense and equipment, more in line with other campuses of the University. Now, as he leaves office, he leaves a better, stronger operation with the computerization of the records almost completed.

We all should, and we all do, thank Pete for his wise counsel, for his devotion which is an example to all of us, and even for his sometimes calm comments.

Alliance ofAlumn'i Associations The Alliance of Alumni Associations of the University' of MisS9uri has representatives from each of the fo~r campuses of the University. UMR IS represented by Past Presidents Ra.y Kasten, James Murphy , Peter Matte~, President Robert Brackbill and PresIdent-Elect Richard Bauer. The founding chairman of the Alliance was ~MR Alumni Association Past-PreSident J ames Stephens. On January. 1, 1975, Dick Bauer will become Chairman for the four campus organization. One of the first functions to be sponsored by the MSM Alumnus

Alliance will be a reception for legislators to be h~ld on Feb~uary 25 , 1975 in Jefferson City . The Alhance has also cooperated in the annual f~~s~man legislator tour of university faClhues.

The Alliance members normally meet semi-annually with the site of the meeting rotating between cam~uses .

The meeting April 25-26 , 1975 will be hosted by UMKC and the business sessions will be relieved by attendance at a dramatic presentation by UMKC students.

'1 think the women 's liberation movement is a great disadvantage to us in the Air Force" said the UMR freshm a n who is currently enrolled in the UMR Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) . ''You see. I am a member of the Raiders , and If the guys thought I was a woman libber , they would make me do everything they do and it would be much harder. " Miss Williams has participated in several of the Raiders ' field training exercises . The UMR organization has an extensive physical fitness program .

'The Air Force treats us as women" she said .

A daughter of Air Force Lt. Col. Gerald Williams, Miss Williams has lived only nine years in the U .S. ~he was born in the Netherlands, attended grade school in Japan a~d Iran, and attended high school m Iceland prior to her graduation from Camdenton High School. ''Y ou learn to adjust easily to various situations when you travel around a lot.

This should be useful to me when I practice as a flight surgeon, " she said .

The UMR coed plans to compete for a graduate Air Force ROTC Fellowship to help p a y for h er medical scho~l expenses. Upon graduation from medical school , she plans to attend the School of Aerospace Medicine at Randolph Air Force Base , T exas , and earn her wings .as a flight surgeoD ..

She will be administering phYSical examinations , traveling on flight missions and transporting cases to a flight surgeon.

'1 expect some a <;l.verse reaction , " she admitted 'but I thmk I can handle it. I 've worked with guys all my life ." .

Miss Williams plans to complete her bachelor 's degree in biochemistry with the aid of a scholarship. '1 've alw ays wanted to b ecome a doctor and U M R has one of the stronges t science sc hoo ls around. I decided on m edi ca l tra ining in the Air Force bec ause it will allo w more opportunities as a d octor , espe cially in the area of travel , tha n I would have in private practice. "

How About Reunions Successful reunions almost invariably are the result of one or more individuals in each honor class taking some time to encourage attendance and possibly planning an event especially for the Class. So, if you really want to see what happened to those Greek gods of yesteryear, now is the time to begin.

The Alumni Office, with several weeks lead time, will be happy to prepare Class Rosters, print copies of same, duplicate letters on your letterhead (or furnish standard type), address envelopes , pay postage, and handle routine correspondence.

HOMECOMING in Rolla is something special, and that's because of the efforts of alumni who care, so mark October 17 and 18, 1975, and see what we can do together.

Are you eligible to use this service? Yes, if you are a member of a Class ending in "0" or "5", an alumnus of more than fifty years, or someone who wants to get a running start for a future reunion.

Research Grant The ion implantation laboratory in the physics department at UMR has received additional research funding.

The Army Research Office has granted $108,000.00 for studies extending over a period of three years.

The research will be performed by Dr. Edward Hale and his students.

This new grant complements a grant from the Research Corporation which was used to purchase a high voltage implantation accelerator now in the final stages of construction. This accelerator is used to fire very high speed charged atoms (ions) into a target material , which then becomes implanted. In collision of the ions with the target , the target atoms are rea rranged. Tli.e research will reveal information about the rearrangement process .

Electron Scan The University of Missouri Board of Curators has approved $38,400 bid by Coates & Wolter Instruments Co., Sunnydale, California, for a scanning electron microscope for the UMR metallurgical and nuclear engineering department.

Microscope (Cont.)

The microscope will be used in seven courses including metallurgy, ceramics and geology and will be purchased through a matching equipment funds grant from the National Science Foundation.

The microscope, which magnifies from 10,000 to 70 ,000 times, ~ill be used to study bulk samples such as fractured metal samples, mineral surfaces, electro-deposit metal surfaces and microfossils, as well as other uses.

Who's Who A total of forty-two students from UMR were selected as outstanding from among the many thousands who attend college in America. The names of these students are quite familiar as the only way to achieve this honor is through hard work and campus involvement.

These men and women have been selected on the basis of their campus activity , leadership abilities and scholarship. All have shown above average performance in each of these catagories.

These students will be listed in the 1974-75 edition of Who 's Who among students in American colleges and universi ties .

Handsome watercolors of the Rolla Building and the old Chemistry Building were'presented through Dr. Walter Schrenk to the chemistry and chemical engineering departments this fall during Homecoming.

The paintings were a donation from Mr. and Mrs. Hans E. Schmoldt of Bartlesville, Okla. Schmoldt, president of Schmoldt Engineering, received a degree in chemical engineering from UMR in 1944. He is currently a director at large of the MSM-UMR Alumni Associa tion. .

The artist, Ms. S. Atkinson, is a personal friend of the Schmoldts and she rendered both paintings from photographic reproductions of the buildings.

While general and analytical chemistry and chemical technology (forerunner of chemical engineering) curriculums were part of the original course of study offered in November, 1871, the combined chemical and metallurgy laboratory was not established until September . 1872 . It was placed in the basement of the Rolla Building and rem a i ned there until 1885. The 24 " x 30 " painting of the Rolla Building hangs in the chemistry department office .

The old Chemistry Building was the second structure on ' the MSM campus, erected in 1885 at a cost of $10,000. In 1902 the roof of this building was raised and a second story added. At the same time , wings were attached to both the north and south sides. The 24" x 36" painting of that building hangs in the chemical engineering department office.

MSM began to offer a B .S. degree in chemical engineering in 1916 . The General Science degree with a major in chemistry was first offered in 1931 . In 1942 a B.S. degree in chemistry was first offered by MSM .

The Chemistry-Chemical Engineering Building (now classified as the old portion of current structure) was completed in two sections. The chemistry and chemical engineering department occupied the first section of the building in 1941 and moved into the second par t , completed following World War II , in 1948 .

For a time, the mathematics department occupied the old Chemistry Building. But, because of increased enrollment, portions of the chemistry and chemical engineering departments re-occupied the main floor of the building (minus the south wing which was torn down in the late fifties .) At the time the old Chemistry Building burned to the ground in the fall of 1969 , bio-chemistry and some chemical engineering labs were on the first floor and offices for social sciences faculty were on the second floor.

In the fall of 1973, the new section of the present Chemistry-Chemical Engi neering Building) was occupied. Both departmental offices are in this new section and it is here the paintings donated by Jimmie and Hans Schmoldt hang as memorials to the more than a century-old chemistry-chemical engineering tradition at UMR .

Miner Football Tearn Next to First in MIAA The 1974 edition of the UMR football team completed an exciting and productive season with a second place finish in the conference and a 6-4 ' 1 record overall.

Three unbelievable games, all played in Rolla , gave Miner fans their money 's worth and had to be the highlights of the season. The Silver and Gold prese nted the alumni with a 21 -19 Homecoming victory over Southeast Missouri State. It was the first win over the Indians since 1963. Three weeks la te r, the Miners used a kicking specialist to replace two quarterbacks who we re hurt and he responded with the \ winning TD pass in the waning mome nts of the game against Lincoln.

The Miners won that one 14-13 Then in the final game of the season', UMR made a remarkable comeback to defeat heavily favored Southwest Missouri 35-31 and regain possession of the Old Powder Keg. UMR opened its season on the road and suffered a heartbreaking loss to Missouri Valley, 27-21. The Miners broke on top 21-0 in the first half but were flagged for 14 penalties worth 151 yards which halted any second half scoring threat. Junior quarterback Greg Haug threw three scoring passes in the game, one each to Stu Dunlop, Merle Dillow, and Brad Harriman. Senior running backs Mike Keeler (114 yards) and Mike Joshua (80 yards) showed a preview of a potent running game.

The Miners got in the win column in their second game with a 15-7 victory over Missouri Western. Joshua netted 168 yards and both UMR touchdowns while Keeler rushed for 150 yards in the' game played in St. Joseph. With that kind 'of running game, Haug had to throw the ball only 15 times completing six for 46 yards . Western led the Miners 7 -0 at intermission but Joshua scored from one yard and Haug ran in a two -point conversion to make it 8 -7.

Joshua scored the deciding TD in the fourth quarter on a 55-yard dash .

In their third straight road game , a superior Henderson State team easily handled the Miners , 38-10 , in Arkadelphia , Ark . But UMR lost five fumbles or the score might have been closer. Haug hit 17 out of 32 passes and one touchdown, a 13-yard strike to Dillow , who caught seven passes in the game .

18

The Miners opened at home against Kansas State College-Pittsburg and evened their record at 2-2 with a 14-12 win . Keeler gained 99 yards on the ground but the Gorilla defense held the Miners to 164 yards, well below their 203 yard rushing average. Haug completed nine of 13 passes and one touchdown to his favorite receiver, Dillow . He scored the other on a five-yard keeper. Pittsburg was able to get two touchdown passes but a blocked PA T kick and a two-point attempt failed, giving the Miners the margin of victory.

A 10-year jinx ended Homecoming day with the big win over Cape. Haug staked the Miners to a 14-10 lead late in the second quarter when he was shaken up and saw the rest of the game from the sidelines. Backup quarterback Ken Potempa opened the second half 'with an 18-yard scoring pass to Dillow to widen the lead to 21-10. The Miners then hung on , giving up a touchdown and a 47 -yard field goal ¡ before coming up with two big defensive plays late in the game. Safety Herbie Herman recovered a fumble on the Miner 20 with five minutes remaining to stop one Indian drive . Then, after a UMR punt, Herman picked off a pass and returned it to the Indian 32 where Potempa ran out the clock .

The Miners ruined Homecoming for Northeast Missouri State alumni with a 20 -7 win , making them 2-0 in conference play and 4 -2 for the season. Haug was again brilliant , hitting 10 of 15

passes for 144 yards ' and two touchdowns to Dillow. Haug ran 12 yards for the other score . Joshua carried the ball 27 times for 137 yards to become UMR 's all-time leading rusher with 1,712 yards. He replaces Les Clark who played for the Miners from 1968-71 .

The following week the Miners challenged the Central Missouri State Mules in Warrensburg and came away with a 21-21 tie. That game eventually cost the Miners a share of the conference title. UMR fell behind 21-7 late in the third period and then made a superb comeback to gain the tie . Senior wide receiver Jack Gevecker hauled in 11 passes in the game and scored the Miners' first TD in the opening period, a 13-yard strike from Haug. The Miners scored twice in the final stanza with Joshua getting the first touchdown on a one-yard plunge climaxing a 68-yard drive . With eight minutes remaining, Herman intercepted an errant Mule pass and Haug went to work . He completed seven straight aerials in the 85 -yard drive and scored himself from the one . For the day, Haug completed 25 of 39 passes for 302 yards. The completions and total yardage are school records.

In a storybook game against Lincoln, the Miners won their squeaker over Lincoln to move their conference to 3-0 -1 and 5-2-1 overall . Kicker David Wisch was pressed into quarterb~cking duties after both Haug and Potempa were sidelined with injuries and the Miners trailing 13-7 late in the fourth

The Tigers led 7-0 at halftime in a tight defensive battle in which neither team cou ld mount much offense. Haug was knocked out of the game late in the second quarter and Po tempa took charge . He got the Miners back in the game on their first possession of the third quarter with Keith McGuire scoring from the one. The big p lay of the drive was a 41-yard pass to Keeler.

The Tige rs regained the lead but missed the extra point, set ting up Wisch 's heroics .

UMR traveled to Charleston , Ill., for a non -league game against Eastern Illinois and lost 17-0 in one of their poorer showings of the season. Herman and Wisch shared quarterbacking duties for the first half and could get nothing going. Haug came on in the third quarter and hit seven of 15 passes for 122 yards but was unable to mount a score.

The Miners dropped their first league game of the year in Maryville and it knocked them out of the conference race. The 41-7 mauling by Northwest clinched at least a tie for the Bearcats who finished with a 5-1 league mark .

The Miners were 3-1 -1 with one game remaining. Freshman tailback Claud Amick was the whole show as he rushed for 290 ya rds and scored five touchdowns against the Miners. Haug once again hit Dillow for the only UMR score but it was late in the game and the Miners already trailed 41-0.

The final game of the season may also have been the most exciting. Southwest Missouri State needed a win to tie for the league championship and were favored to win . But the Miners drew first blood early in the first period on a three -yard run by McGuire. But the Bears roared back with a 56-yard field goal and two touchdowns to take a 17 -7 halftime lead.

It looked like a rout when SMS scored on its first possession of the third quarte r making it 24-7 . But the Engineers were not to be d enied. Keeler scored from the one to make it 24-14.

After the defense for ced a fumbl e, Joshua rambled 26 yards to close the December 1974

gap 24-21. Late in the fourth quarter McGuire scored from four yards out and the Miners had a 28 -24 lead . But the Bears struggled back and regained the lead , 31-28, with only 1 : 32 remaining.

Haug started the final drive from his own 20 by hitting Dillow for 22 yards.

He pitched 19 yards to Dunlop and nine to Gevecker. With 25 seconds remaining Haug rolled right and lofted a high pass to Dillow in the end zone . The 6'5" end leaped and came down with a spectacular catch for the winning score .

Haug was named the most valuable offensive player by his teammates for the second straight year. He led the conference in passing with 125 of 232

attempts (53 .9 per cent) for a school record of 1,6 96 yards and 10 tou ch downs. Defe nsive honors were shared b y junior linebacker Don Angell and junior noseman T erry Logan .

While the Miners will lose the ol!lstanding running duo of Joshua and Keeler and tight end Dillow. along with some other outstanding seniors, they are generally a young team . Coach Charlie Finley feels that they will be even stronger next year and believes the defensive unit will be much improved .

And , with the golden arm of Greg Haug to guide the offense, UMR hopes to be back in the thick of the conference race in 1975 .

NEAS Test

The i nterco7legiat e athletic program a t UMR is supported primarily by student fe es . Mon e y ava ilab le for th e program thus is dependent upon enrollment. Enrollm ent has declined in rece nt years, thu s less income.

Less in come is coupled with spiraling cos ts In all area s. The entire interco llegiatp at hletic program is undergoing a ca reful overa ll analysis.

The National Engineering Aptitude Sea rch (NEAS) Test will be given at the University of Missouri-Rolla on Saturday , Fe b. 22 From its results, students can determine their probable success in co llege level engineering courses.

The testing program , which is open to students in grades 9-12 is sponsored by the Junior Engineering Technical Society (JETS) , a non-profit education a l organ izat ion . Exam inations measure ab ility in four areas: verbal, nume ri ca l, science and m ec hanical comprehension.

Inte rested students should obtain app li cat ions from high school counselors and return them by Dec. 18 to Professor Jerry Bayless, JETS area coordinator , department of civil engi· neering , UMR. Professor Bayless reports that there is an in creas ing demand for engineering graduates . "Nationally , engi neering acco unted for 56 per cent of a ll jobs offered to las t spring's co llege graduates and beginning sa laries ave raged about $1000 per month , .. he says.

He a lso encourages women students to take the NEAS tests . '1 n the past many qualified women passed up engineering because it was considered a masculine field . This is no longer true .

This year UMR has more than 100 women en rolled in engineering. Our women graduates are going into challenging jobs and sometimes receive even higher salaries than the men , .. he adds.

U nless inco m e (and enro llment) increases dramati ca ll y o r cos ts are redu ced substa ntia ll y, so me ve ry d iffi cult decisions are go ing to have to be made . Severa l o ption s are now being considered by th e UMR administrati o n. Th ere is a poss ibilit y that th e int ercolleg iate program may be cu rta iled in som e m ann er .

U MR ha s a ba lanced program now, the resu lt of yea rs of effo rt . If decisions could be m ade free of eco no mi c considerations, it would probably be idea l to co ntinu e at the rea listi c leve l attained in recent yea rs. If you have any sugges tion s o r a n y co ncerns about the future of intercolleg iate ath letics at UMR we would appreciate hearing from you.

A nd, of cou rse, if you have not co ntributed to th e athletic fund (g ifts are tax deductible and c hecks should be m ade to UMR, Athletic Departm ent) now would be a n excellent tim e to do so. Your support would be m os t appreciated.

About 100 spectators turned out the even ing of Wednesday, November 20, 1974 , to watch sports history in the making at the UMR Multi -Purpose Building.

The UMR girls volleyball team made its first home appearance of the season against Southwest Baptist College.

It was the fir s t intercollegiate women 's athletic even t ever held on the UMR ca mpus.

The UM R varsity lost to Southwest, 15·6 and 15 -12 to drop its season mark to 0-4. The junior varsity however d efea ted the visitors in three games 15-6 , 15 -1 1 and 15 -8 to move its record to 3-1.

The women 's athletic program is in its first year under a new staff member, Annette Ca ruso . Miss Caruso will wind up the vo ll eyball season Dec 6-7 in the sta te tournament at Evangel College, in Springfi eld and has already started p re-seaso n practice for basketball which wi ll begin in January.

She said that she is generally pleased with th e progress of the volleyball team.

'We've found that what we really need is seasoning," she explained . 'Nobody on our team has ever played before."

Year End Development News of UMR Dear Alumni and Friends: My first several months on campus have been both stimulating and challenging. I have found much of what I expected in many respects. The quality of the faculty is every bit as great as I anticipated. The only way to improve our student body is to increase its number. The campus shows the fine improvements that came about in the 1960 's. There is a good rapport with the community of Rolla . I have also noted a keen sense of loyalty and appreciation among alumni. All of these advantages help in giving UMR a strong position in higher education .

But this is only part uf the story as I see it at this time.

Three fundamental issues affecting mankind today are energy , minerals and food. What university in the central part of the United States is more uniquely qualified to help meet these problem areas than UMR? We immediately think of the University in relation to the quest for an abundance of inexpensive energy and for utilizing our mineral wealth. But consider also the great influence our university has on the food industry. The world's food supply is directly related to the chemistry of fertilization, the energy to turn the wheels, and the mechanical technology to produce, irrigate, convert and transport the raw foodstuff for consumer use. It would be possible to illustrate endless tie-ins which would help prove my point, but enough said.

CHANCELLOR RAYMOND BISPLINGHOFF

My point is that I have great expectations for the future of UMR. Combine the ingredients: A strong 100-year heritage, excellent faculty and student body, interested and influencial alumni and friends, and no greater reason for being than to $(000'5) be in a position to help mankind out of a very serious 1,000 situation. What an exciting time it is to be in such an enviable position.

I have one additional comment pertaining to UMR Development. A term not original with me, 'The past is prologue, "sums up my thinking. UMR has done much; her alumni have gone far. It is on this base we will launch a coordinated development plan closely correlated with the new Academic Plan. I will have news of this plan following an intensive study of our needs and potential. I sincerely believe that there is no limit to UMR accomplishments if all of us are working toward a common objective.

MARGIN FOR EXCELLENCE: "legislators do not look with favor on the extras that will make the difference between adequacy and excellence.

The public institutions which wish to strive for exceptional performances are therefore forced to look to private sources for the funds needed to lift them above the commonplace or the mediocre. Those public institutions that have achieved greatness have done so with the help and encouragement of private resources and private leadership."

Clayton '50, Assistant District Manager, Halliburton Services, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, presented Chancellor Bisplinghoff a check for $10,000 for use in the Petroleum, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering Departments at UMR. The presentation was made at the Awards Banquet during the 1974 Homecoming. At the right is the Association's new President Robert M. Brackbill.

Symbols of the many awards received by the late Dr. Mervin J. Kelly '14, distinguished alumnus, were on display in the lobby of University Center-West during the month of November.

Kelly received his B.S. degree in science in 19 14. He was noted for his work with Bell Laboratories on the Trans -A tlantic radio -telephone cable and (during World War II) his research and development programs on e lectron ic eq uipment such as radar, bomb sights and arti ll ary sighting mechanisms. He retired in 195 9 as chairman of the Bell Laboratories and died in 1971. Kelly was a past president of The A lumni Association.

His widow, Mrs. Katherine M. Kelly, donated the memorabilia to the uni versity and they will eventua ll y be a part of a permanent 'Hall of Fame" display proposed as part of Universi ty CenterPhase II.

The North Texas Section held their fall meeting on Saturday evemng, No ve mber 23 , on the 49th floor of the Dallas First National Bank in the Pe troleum Club. Several events height· ened th e excitment of the evening, including a spectacular electrical storm visible for miles and the spirited campaign and election of the new section President , Keith Sheppard.

Bob Schafer presided , and those present heard from Dr. Paul Munger , UM R professor of Civil Engineering and head of the Missouri River Environ· m ental Inventory project , F ran k Mackaman and his traveling slide show, and some comments from Association President Bob Brackbill concerning Chancellor Bisplinghoff and the future of the Association and UMR. Munger has headed the Missouri River project for several years, and the study involved several schools and various experts. He predicted that UMR, because of unique experience gained during this Corp of Engineers contract , might win further contracts for similar studies on the Mississippi. Brackbill , who had met with the Chancellor on the previous weekend , reported his faith in him and his confidence that UMR would take aggressive action toward solving the multiple problems facing the world today.

Present for the evening, in most cases with their lovely ladies, were: Gary W. Havener '62, Walter C. Mulyca '65 , Keith D. Sheppard '47 , Gerald ].

Bartlesville Section Now we kn ow what you do for an encore for the annual Bartl esv ill e Section fall BBQ. You ha ve it out at R ay Parke r 's house on October 5 , with th e charming Jud y Parker as hostess , yo u import your kegger from a Missouri·based brewery, and turn every· one loose on a beautiful Oklahoma afternoon. Another great party, though a Columbia based guest won the bumper pool championship. The Ray Parker Seniors were there ; he played varsity ball at MSM back in the teens , although he followed his coach to another school after one year.

We got a kick out of the ROLLAMO he brought along. Again , the food was spectacular with each furnishing a speciality. Frank Townsend , who graduated in 1911 , baked and brought his fa vo rite cake and a guest , who was a delightful addition to the crowd.

Assistant Dean of Engineering Kent Roberts and his wife and Frank and Nancy Mackaman attended from Rolla along with the following: Ed Smith , 24; Herman Fritschen '51; Bruce Gastineau ' 73 and guest; Roy A.

American Mining Congress Alumni a nd their guests gathered for breakfast October 8, d uri n g the a nnual meeting of the American Mining Congress in Las Vegas , Nevada.

This was a first. Though the AMC has held annual m ee tings for man y years the re has never been an a lumni m eeting as has been held as other m eeti ngs of professional societies.

Thomas A. Holmes , Presid ent of Ingersall Rand and Dr. James Scott spea r · hea d ed the alumni affair which was h eld in the Terrace Room of the Dese rt Inn overlooking their golf course.

Those present from the campus were : H oward Eloe , Director of Development , Ernest Spokes , Jim Scott and Richard Ash from the Mining Department.

There were no formal speeches , though Howard Eloe contributed a few pertinent remarks , the alumni were busy refreshing old memories and making new aquaintances. There were some 60 present and it was an unanimous opinion that such events should be staged annually at the American Mining Congress.

Those present for this alumni gathering were: Paul Mcllroy '4 9; Jim and Edna Scott '50; Don and Betty Haskell '4 9; Hugh Barkclay '37; Richard L. Ash , Mining Dep 't , UMR; Joseph G.

Tulsa Section The Tulsa Tribe of Alumni held their first meeting of the 74-75 academic year on November 14, at the Summit Club, high atop the Fourth National Bank Building. As is usual with this group, there was much interest in the current scene at UMR. Ted Planje, Dean of the School of Mines and Metallurgy was the featured speaker, and brief remarks were made by Herman Fritschen (believe it or not), Howard Eloe, Director of Development and Frank Mackaman. Among the salient points made by the Dean was the one that UMR could use some students from Oklahoma. This opened a discussion of out-of-state fees and the national trend toward shortening periods of residency to prove place (If citizenship. Another possibility is the negotiation of reciprocity pacts with states, for all programs, as in the Minnesota-Wisconsin pact, or . for limited, non-duplicated programs, as in the cu_rrent Missouri-Kansas agreement on Mining. Present for lunch were: Dave Kick, Fritschen, Ed Smith, Ralph Barnett, Jim Schottel, V. Simlote, George Leck (ticket dispense! extra-ordinary) Hans Schmoldt, Bill Vark, Joe Vitali, B . J. Bishop, Jack Ball, Joe Wanenmacher, Vic Spa I din g,

Bennett Howell and guest , plus Mackaman, Eloe and Planje. We lost two names in transmission. The group was in unanimous agreement that the lovely streetwalker who was not with us should have been, in fact her meal had been prepaid by an admirer.

Chancellor Raymond L. Bisplinghoff announced four administrative assignments at the University of MissouriRolla on Dec. 3.

Dr. Dudley Thompson is the new vice chancellor, Dr. Jim C. Pogue is the provost and dean of faculties , Paul Ponder is the dean of student affairs and Professor Charles R. RemingtonJr. is executive secretary of the Chancellor's Council and Administrative Council.

All appointments are effective immediately and are full time assignments except for Remington who will continue as a half.time professor of mechanical engineering.

Chancellor Bisplinghoff, in making the appointments , stated that this completes the first step of h is administrative reorganization at U MR - one of the first tasks he set out to fulfill upon arrival in Rolla two months ago. The chancellor received Board of Curators approval for the new administrative structure in November. University President C . Brice Ratchford approved the personnel appointments following the Board action .

Under this new structure the vice chancellor will serve within the office of the chancellor and perform those duties assigned to him by the chancellor.

The provost and dean of faculties will serve as one of the eight major offices reporting directly to the chancellor's office. Those offices reporting to the provost and dean of faculties include the directors of admissions and registrar, international studies , institutional studies, the computer, the library and learning resources.

Reporting to the dean of student affairs are the directors of athletics , band, co-op program, placement and industrial relations , financial aid, student activities, student health, and the counseling and testing center.

CE Seminar Geo rge Sowe rs, a n inte rn a tiona lly known expert in geotechni ca l work , was t he fea tu red speaker at a tec hni cal sem in ar spo nsored by t he U MR civil engineering depart m ent.

Sowers, a rege nts professor a t the Georgia I n s ti t u te of Tec hnology, Atlanta, and c ha irm an of a nd seni or cons u ltan t to Law Engi neering, At lanta, was th e fea tu red speaker a t an excava tion bracing se minar.

Sowers is ch airm a n of the geo technica l sect io ns of the na tio na l Ame rican Soc ie ty of C ivil E ng inee rs ( ASCE) a n d has a utho red 70 techni ca l pa pe rs a nd three tex tbooks on so il m ech a nics and fou nd a ti o n engin eering .

He h as se rved o n the board of co nsulta nts fo r Architec ts of the Ca pito l, W as hington , D.C . and as co nsult a nt o n d a m s, found ations and ea rth co nstru c ti o n in va rious for eign countries including Ice la nd , India and Ce ntra l A m e ri ca n countri es.

Viuelo Author A book written by a U MR professor , 'W e wait in the Da rkness: Ame rican Indi a n Prose and Poe try," was released fo r publi ca tion by G. P. Putnam & So ns, N ew Yo rk .

T he book is edited by Fra nk R .

Vi ve lo, a n anthro pologist a t UMR a nd Jacqueline J. Vivelo a fr eelance writer who holds a gradu a te d egree in literature. T hey colaborated wit h Glori a Levitas, a n anthropologist at Qu ee ns College, New York, in producing this collec ti o n.

Though in the past few years , a numbe r of Indi a n anthologies have a ppeared , the present work is unique in seve ra l wa ys.

The book is o rga nized so as to present its m a te ri a l in a novel wa y. The se lec tions are divided into three general ca tago ries: Before the Coming of the White M a n , After the White Man Came a nd The Present. Within these catagories, the selections are furth er subdivided according to "c u I t u r e a reas, " cluste rs of Indi a n societies whose socia l systems show significant similarities . Finally , within the culture areas , the selections are broken down according to tribe .

T he fo rty-p age introduction places the selec tions in social conte xt and provides background information to

34

add to the reade r 's enjoyme nt of the a nthology . A map is provided indi ca t ing the loca tion of the various trib es represe nted in the book . T here is a lso a deta il ed ta ble acco mpa nying the ma p which lists the prim ary economic activities a nd la ngu age cl assification for eac h of th e tribes .

T he book co nt a ins a compre he nsive bib logra phy of published works by and a bo ut Ameri ca n Indi a ns which is nowhe re else available and which is a va luable resou rce for anyone interested in the First Americans.

T h e collec tion conta ins many selecti ons m o re tha n a century old which ha ve neve r seen a nthologized, as well as the most recent works of Indian writers.

Footnotes are kept to a minimum so as not to distract the reader from the beauty of the original works .

This anthology will be of interest to Missourians not only because two of the editors are residents of Rolla but also because about forty of the selections are drawn from the Prairie culture area, the area of which Missouri is a part.

Readers interested in local history will therefore find this anthology interestmg.

Dr. and Mrs . Vivelo combined the perspec tives of anthropology and literature to produce a collection which one reviewer called "a useful and revealing introduction to American Indian litera ture and folk lore. "

Sieuert Elected Morris Sievert, President of Solar Division of International Harvester Company has been elected a vice president of International Harvester

Comp a ny , the first IH corporate officer pi cked from Solar.

Sieve rt , president of San Diego Solar since July 197 3, was one of fiv e new vice preside nts elected by the board , IH boa rd president and chief executive offi ce r Brooks McCormick said.

Sieve rt's election comes at the close of Sol a r's fiscal year , when it set an a ll -time sales record and recorded the la rgest backlog in industrial gas - turbines in its history . Financial accomplishments of Solar and International H a rveste r will be announced soon .

Sieve rt has been heavily involved in Sol a r 's growth and transition from a company that was primarily an aerospace components subcontractor in the 1960 's to its current position of world leadership in manufacturing industrial gas turbines and equipment. More than 80 percent of this equipment, including gas turbine driven natural gas compressor sets , generator sets and pump units, is sold to the worldwide oil and gas industry .

Sievert came to Solar in 1957 as assistant manager of gas turbine sales .

He subsequently held the positions of manager of military and commercial gas turbine sales and in 1966 he became vice president. He was promoted to executive vice president in 1969. Sievert is a native of Phoenix, Arizona, and received his bachelor's degree from UMR in mechanical engineering.

He is active in civil and professional organizations. He is a member of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Blue Key and Theta Tau fraternities . He is on the board of directors of Uni'ted Way of San Diego County and he is a Rotarian . Sievert is listed in 'Who's Who in Commerce and Industry, " 'Who's Who in Finance and Industry," and 'Who 's Who in the W est. "

New at UMR

Kids start wishing on stars at an early age. Some of them - even if their wishes don't come true - keep on looking and wondering about st~rs as they grow older.

Certainly, stargazing is a subject that is of great interest to many students at the University of Missouri·Rolia . This is the reason for installation of a new research structure on campus.

UMR now has a 16·inch professional telescope and an observatory in which to house it. This facility is not very big or very glamorous. The walls are about 12 feet high and the dome is 16 feet in diameter. It is located on a parking lot at the northwest corner of the main campus which happens to be one of the ~ighest hills in Rolla. And only five or SIX people may stand inside the observatory at one time.

J:f0wever, Dr. John Schmitt, visiting assistant professor of physics, thinks the new observatory has all kinds of advantages. '1 think we have the best ~elescope in the whole state , " he says.

There are two reasons for this. The telescope itself is a 16-inch cassegrain reflector (mirror) professionally pr?~uced - with an extremely precise driVing mechanism. The second reason is the location.

"Other large telescopes in the state are located in cities quite a bit larger t~an ~olla. Reflection of city lights at mght Interferes with the students' view of the sky - particularly the study of what we call 'deep sky ' objects.

. Although UMR doesn't offer a degree astronomy, astronomy courses taught In. the physics department are popular with not only physics students but a lso with engineering, science and liberal arts majors. In addition to use as an instructi?nal facility, the observatory is also available for use in both under· graduate and graduate research .

At the present time, a number of undergraduate astronomy enthusiasts are making systematic studies of var.iable stars (those stars with light which changes in intensity). Research is also. being done on eclipsing binaries (pairs of stars that pass in front or in back of each other from time to time) .

Students measure distortion factors of binaries and study the stellar structure and behavior. ~n

Officer Lewis Ellen Lewis is the newest member of the UMR campus police force. She is one of the growing number of women who are becoming interested in law enforcement and corrections work.

A native of Unionville (about 1.0 miles from the Iowa border in north central Missouri , Miss Lewis began her ~ollege career as a mathematics major In Northeast Missouri State.¡U niversity, Kirksville.

"After a while , I began to have second thoughts about a career in the field of mathematics," she explains, '1 really wanted to do something that involved working with people and doing something helpful. My roommate was taking some classes in law enforcement and corrections work and I started tagging along to some of the classes . III receive my B.S. degree in this field in December ...

The 21-year-old points out her duties are the same as all other UMR police.

She makes a point that she is not a "women's libber," but she doesn't expect any special treatment because she is the only woman on the force either. ' Every ten weeks she switches shifts.

(There are three) - midnight to 8 a .m . , 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. and 4 p.m. to midnight. Her duties include security, money transfer escort and patroling on foot or in a mobile unit. She also is available to conduct educational sessions for students on any phase of police work. She hopes, specifically, to develop a self-protection program for women students through their living units or organizations.

As do most of the other officers on the force, Miss Lewis plans to take further educational work in her field. Next spring s?e plans to take some psychology and SOCIOlogy courses available through the department of social sciences.

The human eye's ability to distinguish dimly as well as brightly lighted objects, its extreme color sensitiv-ity and the . observer's vantage point in space will permit a better understanding of physical phenomena.

Types of features being considered for study on the ASTP mission include : Studies of major active strike-slip fault zones in both eastern and western hemispheres and identification of extensions of fault systems by studying vegetation and drainage patterns.

Studies of closed -basin water circulation and shore lines as well as snow cover studies to be used later in conjunction with photographs taken of the Himalayes and hydrological studies of photographs taken over Indian plain and land areas inundated by rivers.

Studies of ocean upwellings and their hydrological and biological effects and of major trends of ocean currents are planned.

Visual observations of tropical weather problems such as frontal waves, toronadoes, storm centers and localized atmospheric cir~ulations will also be made.
