Section News Southern California Forty-three alumni, w i v e s, and friends gathered at the Long Beach Yacht Club to celebrate and re-live the orgies that each of us remembers about St. Pat's. E. H . Greene was a candidate to reign over St. Pat's in 1911 - that was until the male chauvinists found that the initial "E" stood for Eva. The story sparked women's libbers in the audience into righteous indignation - and t then into womanly pride when Eva admitted that she had just celebrated her 90th birthday. The short movie of the impressive first flights of the B-1 received an ovation . Glen Foss triggered the adventure in all of us when he told of his work as Cruise Operations Manager for the Deep Sea Drilling Project. Vern Finley and Bill Fletcher both brought their railroad storieswi.th them and tooted their whistles at every opportunity. David Lee was a much appreciated visitor from Phoenix, Arizona. It was a happy occasion for all. Those present were: Bill '44, and Skipper Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. John Munns '68, Bernard E. Brockgreitens '73 , Jane Bennett '68, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Harbert '55 , Mr. and Mrs. William Schirmer '49, Mr. and Mrs. Karl Allenbach '27, Mr. and Mrs. Glenn Foss '66 , Mr. and Mrs. R. S.

Detroit - SAE Alumni in the Detroit area met on February 26, during the annual meeting of the SAE. The meeting was held at Cordobas. Barry Winscher, President, handled the meeting in his usual astute manner. Frank Mackaman showed slides of the UMR campus. The Detroit Section has developed the art of democratic election to a high state, and after a spirited campaign, John Ebeling was the winner of the presidential race A "Kegger" was part of the evening, which may have accounted for the strange report of the outcome of the summer baseball game .

Ark-la-Tex , The Winter Meeting of the Ark-La Tex Section of the MSM-UMR Alumni Association was held on February 15, 1975, at the Gold Room of the Barksdale Air Force Base Officer's Club . The meeting was hosted by Mr. & Mrs . John Livingston . After the customary social and visiting hour and a delicious rib eye steak dinner , the meeting was called to order. President John Moscari informed everyone of Denver Patton's transfer to Anchorage. The minutes of the November 9, 1974, meeting were read and approved. The treasurer's report was given indicating that the group was close to operating in the red. Inflation and mailing costs have been the major factors contributing to this situation. A discussion on possible alternatives to meet rising costs without increasing dues was ended with a true Miner solution: We would now collect the "annual" dues two or three times a year. The next order of business was to select a guest speaker for the May 3, 1975, meeting. This meeting is to be held at the home of Mr. & Mrs. David Flesh. By popular demand the group selected Mr. Flesh to give the talk . John Moscari then showed a film about the Lone Star Steel Mill in Texas. Walt Mulyca had the floor next with some slides of the campus showing all the new buildings. The attendees were : Dennis' 70 and Janet Jaggi, Jack '52 and Necia McBrayer, Byron ' 70 and Terry Vermillion, Walt '65 and Ann Mulyca, James' 22 and Sdma Forgotson , David '23 and Florence Flesh, Phil '48 and Ardella Browning, Kevil ' 28 and Helen Crider, Ragan ' 23 and Evelyn Ford, John '39 and Eilyeen Livingston, John '51 and Loretta Moscari, Gerald ' 28 and Leona Roberts, and Gunther '52 and Eleanor Jensen.

Mountain Men ... The Rocky Mountain Alumni celebrated St. Patrick's Day at the Manor House on the Ken-Caryl Ranch south west of Denver. The magnificent 10,000 acre Ken-Caryl Ranch was acquired by Johns-Mansville Corporation in 1971 for the site of their worldwide corporate headquarters . Johns-Manville is to be commended for their dedication to preserving the natural beauty of the Ken-Caryl Ranch and restoring historic buildings such as the Manor House. Built in 1914, the Manor House is an elegant Southern Colonial style mansion which was visited by two U. S. Presidents, Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. The ranch now is populated by registered Black Angus cattle as well as by a herd of 300 mule deer which roam the range. This is the second year that we have celebrated St. Pats' at the Ken-Caryl Ranch and our thanks go to Joe Geer '52 and Bill Christman '47 of Johns-Manville for making the arrangements . Also, we are grateful to the management of Johns-Manville for making these facilities available to the MSM Alumni, which would not have been possible a few years ago.

Chancellor Named Dr. Raymond L. Bisplinghoff, chancellor of the University of MissouriRolla , has been named to a committee of advisers consulting with Dr. H. Guyford Stever, science adviser to President Gerald R. Ford. Dr. Stever, director of the National Science Foundation, established the committee this month to provide "an independent source of advice" on specific basic and applied research programs. Also , at Dr. Stever 's request , the committee will advise him on directions and contents of federally supported science programs and conduct specific studies. Dr. Bisplinghoff has been with UMR since last October. He is a former deputy director of the National Science Foundation and a former dean of engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

A Solar Plus

The group plans to have faculty members and students from almost all engineering and science fields involved in a widespread investigation of all phases of constructing and heating a home and of solar energy utilization. Eventually they expect to come up with plans for model solar homes at about the same cost as conventional homes. Dr. lung is convinced that the solar house can be a reality in Missouri in less than a decade. ''But solar energy won't work unless the house is constructed to reduce heat loss," he says. He has been doing research on solar homes for several years and has developed and put to use a number of energy saving tips, many of which can be applied to new construction of conventional homes or existing homes. He estimates that up to 50 per cent of energy requirements can be saved by following these recommendations:

Dr. joseph Zung, left, University of Missouri-Rolla chemistry professor, explains to UMR Civil Engineering Professor jerry Bayless the operation of an energy-saving heating system which combines a fireplace and heating and cooling systems. The two professors are members of a research group at UMR studying solar energy and effective use of energy in the home. Bringing the cost of solar home construction down to the price range of the ordinary Missouri homebuilder is the goal of a developing research project at the University of Missouri-Rolla. A group of scientists and engineers have begun work on a series of studies which will look for more economical ways of using solar energy and more effective use of all energy in the home. ''Many people have the mistaken idea that a solar house would not be practical for this area, .. says Dr. Joseph lung, UMR professor who is spokesman for the group. "Actually, all that is ' needed for heating by solar energy is one sunny day out of four or five. You would also need an auxiliary heater, but solar energy could take care of most of the requirements for heating the house and hot water even in the coldest weather. .. In solar-heated homes, solar energy is usually collected by absorption of the sun 's heat on rooftop metal panels. A continous flow of water is warmed by the heated panels and piped to the basement where the heat is stored in water, rock or chemical media . The UMR research will look into all phases of the collection and storage process to learn such things as: the best kind of 10

metal for the collector, the best angle of inclination for the roof, how much water should run across the collector and how fast, what type of material is best for storage. All tests will be done with the Missouri area in mind and with an eye to cutting costs. The other half of the project will be concerned with learning how heat is lost in the home, perfecting means of preventing this heat loss and using heat that is ordinarily wasted. 'Cutting out energy waste is really the first step in building a solar house, .. Dr. lung says. "And to save energy, we must look at almost everything in the house. For example , we lose much of the heat from our furnaces by running heat ducts through uninsulated areas. And, paradoxically, fireplaces are energy wasters because more heat from the room usually goes up the chimney than the fireplace contributes ... Factors to be studied by the panel include the location and orientation of the house, the orientation of rooms, placement of appliances, type and thickness of insulation. They will also consider recycling all heat normally wasted in a house - from washing machines , dryers, refrigerators, fireplaces and even from septic tanks.

Siting: Build your house on the sunny side of a hill, tucked into the hill if possible. Keep all surrounding trees, especially on the north and west sides. Face short walls to the north, preferably without any windows. Face south or southwest all rooms used for day living, such as living room, family room and kitchen. Face bedrooms east. House design: Two story, rectangular or square in shape. Living areas open to a large expanse, with windows facing south. Materials: Use double layer vapor barrier. Use 10-inch fiberglass insulation on ceiling, four or six-inch exterior wall insulation. Five-eighths inch plywood siding is preferable to any other exterior siding materials (brick, stone, aluminum, vinyl etc.) . Appliances: Place air conditioner condensers on north or east sides of house. Use heat from fireplaces to heat all rooms in the house and use glass firescreens on all fireplace openings. Place stove, washer, dryer away from exterior doors and walls. Do not place the refrigerator near a heat register or in direct sunlight. HOMECOMING 1975 OCTOBER 17-18

More Light on Solar Projects "Engineering Exploring New Energy Frontiers" was the theme of this year's national Engineer's Week. Several engineering disciplines at the University of Missouri-Rolla have already begun research on the development of solar energy - one of the energy frontiers. One of several projects in the process of implementation is ''Solar Kine. " It is the development of a system using solar energy combined with air, water and a carbon source as coal or wood chips to produce fuel for farm machinery and fertilizer for agricultural uses. Ultimate goal of the project is to make an individual farm completely independent of outside fuel sources and give it the ability to produce its own fertilizers. The system uses large parabolic mirrors to collect and concentrate the sun's energy , converting it into a high density electric current by means of a thermionic heat engine. Rejected heat and the electric current from the thermionic converter are supplied to an electrolysis cell which , in turn, produces hydrogen and oxygen gas. Chemical processing equipment then uses the hydrogen and oxygen to produce a methanol fuel to be used in internal combustion engines found in farm machines. By means of another chemical process , the hydrogen may be combined with a carbon source to manufacture ammonia, nitrate and ammonium sulfate fertilizers . Because of its complexity ( the system involves machinery such as the solar collectors , pipes , storage tanks, etc., and electrical and chemical processing

Engineers Week AK MSM-UMR was well represented during National Engineers Week in Anchorage. Two of the six nominees for Anchorage Engineer of the Year were MSM graduates ; Henry R. Holliday , B.S.C .E. 1947 , and George Wilson Hughes , B.S.E.E. 1969. The Master of Ceremonies at the Banquet concluding National Engineers Week was the Chairman of the Alaska State Public Utilities Commission, MSM graduate James R. Hendershop , B.S.P .E. 1963. Knowing the high concentration of engineers in the Anchorage area due to pipeline and pipeline-related engineering projects, MSM graduates made an exceptional showing.

devices) the project is multidisciplinary in nature . The ''Solar Kine " research team consists of faculty members and students from UMR's mechanical, electrical and chemical engineering departments and the engineering management department. Project director is Dr. Ronald L. Reisbig, associate professor of mechanical engineering. He says 'We propose to develop a system which should cost a farmer about $15, 000. Hopefully it will provide all the fertilizer the farmer needs for a 250-acre farm for approximately 15 years. Considering the rising costs of fertilizer, the system should be self- supporting within nine years . 'The basic technology for each phase of this system already exists," Dr. Reisbig continues. "Our team of engineers is attempting to put them all together in such a way that it will be economically feasible for the farmer to install his own system and become independent of existing fossil fuel derivitives. 'We feel that the continued increase in production of food and agricultural products is one of the most important factors in the world today. And the farmer is an increasingly important economic factor in world economy. Development of this system here at UMR could be of great value to the State of Missouri, our nation and, ultimately , to the problem of supplying food to the world's population .

Alumni Awardee SulmJers Receiues Grant Safer, more productive coal mines are expected to result from a new cutting tool being developed at the University of Missouri-Rolla through a $645 ,000 grant from the u.s. Bureau of Mines. The University Board of Curators authorized acceptance of the grant at its meeting in Columbia, March 21. The tool uses pressurized water to cut into the face of an underground coal deposit. Coal dust levels would be greatly reduced and the possibility of a methane gas explosion almost nonexistent with the new water method, which separates by wedging rather than ripping or wrenching the coal from its face. The two-year grant will be under the direction of Dr. David A. Summers, associate professor of mining engineering and senior research investigator , Rock Mechanics and Explosives Research Center. Dr. Summers, who has done 10 years of preliminary work on the method, will first oversee constructing and testing of an experimental cutting head and nozzles. His earlier work has shown that water pressure at 10,000 pounds per square inch emitted from small openings in the nozzles will make the desired cuts into the coal face. The second step will be to assemble the cutting head and a suitable pump and then test the experimental machine above ground , for which Dr. Summers has arranged to work with Peabody Coal Co . , in an open pit mine . Next will come construction of a prototype machine followed by testing in an underground mine. After final modifications , the machine will be ready for commercial production. In addition to its safety advantages the pressurized water cutter is also expected to be more efficient than conventional methods of mining coal. The machine will have fewer wearing surfaces and moving parts and thus require less maintenance.

University of Missouri Board of Curators has acted on several measures affecting the Rolla campus. Upon recommendation b y University President C. Brice Ratchford , the board approved the appointment of Dr . Melvin D. George , University of Nebraska-Lincoln dea n, as vice president for academic affairs . Dr. Robert H . McFarland , dean of the UMR Graduate School , h as been serving as the acting vice president since June, 1974. He will return to his position on the R olla campus. In action relating to physica l facilities , the board approved purchase of the property at 610 W. 14 th St. T h e property, on the northeast corner of 14th Street and Bishop Aven u e, was recently offered to the Rolla campus b y the owners. I t is the last parcel of land in that particular area which is not owned by UMR and has a high priority on the master campus expansion plan . In the area of academic affairs, the board approved combining the separate degrees offered in geology and geophysics into a single B.S ., M .S. or Ph .D. degree with an emphasis in either area. The Master of Science for teachers (MS.T.) degree will be o.ffere~ in . t~e field of earth sciences. ThiS action IS III accord with the University Academic Plan.

Nctional Honors Again The UMR student chapter of the American Institute of Chemical Engi neers (AIChE) has been selected from 130 chapters in the nation to receive the "Award of Excellence " for the 1973 -74 academic year. This is the fifth consecutive year the UMR chapter has received this award. It will be officially presented at the annual chapter awards meeting during the second semester. Presidents of the UMR chapter during the 1973-74 year were Marvin Borgmeyer of 1153 Phalen Drive, St. Louis, Mo. and Stephen Chilton of Camdenton, Mo. They are both chemical engineering seniors. Dr. Harvey Grice (student chapter counselor) , Borgmeyer and Chilton attended the annual meeting of the AIChE in Washington, D.C., to participate in student chapter workshops.

She ate parrot , washed in a bucket of water, tramped 15 miles daily through jungle terrain with a native guide and hated every minute of it. Jimmie Schmoldt of Bartlesville recentl y accepted h er husband 's chal lenge to spend fi ve weeks backpacking in the primitivl: areas of MeXICO and Central America. To hear husb and Hans, 53, review his four previous excursions with their three children , they were the thrill of a lifetime. Mrs . Schmoldt, 48, needed only a few days to determine she and Hans differed on the d efinition of a good time. '1 'LL NEVER DO it again . No amount of money could get me back there, " she declared emphatically wh en she returned this week and kissed the ground at the T ulsa airport. Every aspect of jungle life intimidated her. Clutching a can of bug spray and swaying unsteadily in a hammock swathed in mosquito netting, she woke up nightly to the unfamiliar and unnerving sounds of jungle life. '1 ca n count on one hand the times I slept all night , " she recounted . 'Chickens started crowing about four in the morning and I prayed I would live through it. " Schmoldt, who owns a corrosion engineering firm in Bartlesville, bega~ visiting the area in 1961 to pursue hiS interest in the Mayan culture. 'THIS WAS NOT a lark but an exploration into a civilization," he explained. 'We have visited a number of famous archaeological sites where Mayan temples are being restored. " They began their trip at Merida, Yucatan , and concluded it after walking several hundred miles through British Honduras and Guatemala to Palenque , Mexico . The Schmoldts carried but one change of clothing, hammocks , a bar of soap, tooth brushes , and minimal medical supplies with them. 'They depended on the natives for food and a hut to hang their beds . American ingenuity earned them royal treatment from the natives. Schmoldt carried a Polariod camera

and delighted the natives by taking their pictures and developing them on the spot. . 'They had never seen a picture before and when we gave them copies, they couldn 't do enough for us, " h e said. What did they eat? ''You eat wha t the natives eat in the m anner they ea t it in , " Jimmie said. 'When you're hungry, you 11 eat anything which could be pigs , rodents , snakes or even monkeys. " She reduced two dress sizes while Hans lost 17 pou nds. Cultural differences were somewhat shocking for her. They described Mayan beliefs as a blend of Catholicism and ancient Mayan superstition. "O ne woma n 's cat became sick because of the spraying the government does for m alaria, " she said . 'This woman cut off the ca t 's ears to drive the bad spirits out and when the cat didn 't get well, she cut off his tail. The cat finally died. " Jimmie 's worst experience, oddly, was when she returned to civilization in Palenque and Tenosique , Mexico . '1 HAVE NEVER been so humiliated , " she said. 'We must have looked like dirty old hippies after all that time in the jungle and no hotel in either town would let us stay because of our condition. I thought we might have to sleep on the sidewalk . " They finally found slee~ing quarters in what they term a fIopho(lse. 'We had to step over people sleeping in the halls , " she said. "All I could think of was ihat I was cra zy to leave my beautiful home . " Recovering today from sore feet and jungle-related ills, the couple already has fascinated friends with tales of primitive experiences Hans terms "fantastic " and Jimmie classifies as "terrifying. When someone n ext repeats the cliche '1t's a jungle out there ," Jimmie Schmoldt will probably nod in agreement. Reprinted with permission from ~he 'Tulsa Tribune.

By Robert Pease UMR Varsity Swimming Coach.

Miner swimming, a study of growt h in excellence. Throughout the history of MSM-UMR swimming, the teams representing this institution have exhibited a high degree of skill and produced many notable accomplishments. The pre 1965 swimming efforts were under the direction of the late Burr Van Nostrand and produced many memorab le wins over MIAA schools , as well as such midwest powers at that time as Indiana State and SIU-Carbonda le. There was a haitus fo llowing the 65 season when oldJ ackling Gym was razed for const ru ct ion of the new Multi-Purpose Building in the fall of 1969. The Mine rs then reformed their program and h ave been expanding eac h year since. In that first year UMR was over 500 in the dua l m eets placed 4th in the conferen ce championships, and had one All -American, Ri ck Marshall , who h a iled from Pittsburg, PA. The following year as a sophomore Rick again lea d the Miner swimmers with another A ll -American ranking and the team did much better, finishing second to Southwest Missouri State University in the conference championships as the Miners moved to the top echelon of the MIAA. 1971 -72 Cincinnati, Ohio, freshman Tim Blood was the most outstanding tanker on the Miner squad with a 6th place finish in the national championships and All-American as he lea d the Miner swimmers to another second place finish , again behind SWMSU . 197 2- 73 was virtually a carbon copy of the Miners for the previous year, with Blood again getting All -A merican honor time, Miners again second behind SWMSU in the conference championships. The following year in 1973 -74 the Miners broke loose from their apparent stranglehold on second place when they upset the Bears from Sou t h w est Missouri State University 155 to 151 at the conference championships. It was also the first time that the Miners had multiple All-Americans in the national championships with Niles , Illinois , freshman Mike Norberg, leading the 18

way with a 5th in the 200 Fly and 8th in the 400 I.M. and Rockford, Illinois , freshman Bill Orr scoring an 11 th place finish in the 1650 Freestyle. The points garnered by these two outstanding freshman placed the Miners 28th in the nation . This set the stage for UMR 's finest yea r in swimming when in the 1974-75 season they repea ted as Conference Champions a g a i n over Southwest Missouri State University by a score of 144 to 135 . The Miners then journeyed to Cleveland State University to participa-te in their 6th straight national championships. At these championships the Miners had 6 All-Americans named ang finished 13th in the team sta ndings with several notab le performances. Norberg and Orr again lead the way being named as an All-American in 3 events each . Norberg finished 2nd in the nation in his speciality , the 200 Fly, and 6th in the n a tion in the 400 I.M . , as well as a m ember of the first All-American 800 Free Relay in the history of the MIAA. Mike 's 2nd place finish was the highest ever fo r any MIAA athlete. Orr finished 5t h in the 1650 Freestyle and 6th in the 200 I.M. , as well as being a m em ber of the 800 Relay . Four other Miners participated in the Relays when illness forced both Norberg and Orr out after the preliminaries. In the final s St. Louis senior, capta in Jim West; Quincy, Illinois , f r es h m an Randy Lubbert; Columbia, Missouri, freshman Leon a rd Wolff, (son of Leonard C . Wolff '42) ; and Dubuque, Iowa , freshman Dana Witt combined to move the Miners from their 12th place qualifying effort up to 11 th place in the finals. Their efforts earned all 4 of these young m e n All -American honors . The 13th place team standing was the highest any MIAA school has placed and with 5 of the 6 All-Americans returning, the Miners should be bette r than ever next year. This picture of growth and development is indeed heartening for an academically oriented school such as ours until one realizes we may be operating on borrowed time . The Miners were the highest ranked non scholarshiped swimming team in the nation and even the rest of the schools in the MIAA offer swimming scholarships to some degree.

Who me, Coach .?

Som eone gets a good start The oth er Miner sports are in similiar straights as basketball and football are sch olarshiped at a rate well under the rest of o ur conference as is track to an even lesser degree. The rest of the Miner sports program is of the walk-on variety. With UM R being one of the n ationa l leaders in academics, it would indeed be fortunate if the campus that is about to produce nation al lea ders in the fields of math , scie nce, and virtually all phases of engineering could also produce n at ional leade rs in the field of athletics as well. W e loose many prospect ive student athletes each year becau se we are unable to compete with the other schools of our academic nature who do subsidize their athletic programs . In the swimming area alone we loose many excellent students to other engineering schools who are willing to aid their

prospective student athletes to a greater degree than we. It has long been apparent in our society that those people who are leaders within t h eir respective professions are a lso expected to be communi ty leaders in ot her endeavors. It wou ld aid in build ing t his understanding in our student body for us to develop outstanding c haracterist ics of leadership in other endeavors , as well as academ ic pursu its. At hletics in genera l are the m os t hig hl y visibl e of the ex tracurricular aCtiVItieS , which our students may pursue . With adequate financial backing on behalf of the students , fac ulty, a lumni , a nd area citizens, the Miners will cont inue to progress a nd grow both academically and at hletically. 19

Homecoming Notice

Alumnus Named . ..

There is apt to be a substantial change in the format of Homecoming this year , October 17-18 . UMR is suffering the penalties of success. We have now outgrown all the public facilities which would accommodate both libating and eating. Also , the quality of motel accommodations can no longer be guaranteed, and so the alumni office has not booked and cannot reserve particular space . There are many additional rooms now available in the area motels , including several national chains, and you are advised to make your own reservations directly with the motel-hotel of your choice. A list of available faciliti es will be furnished upon request.

Dear Fellow Alumnus: As a member of the committee charged with the expansion of the Century Club, I want to thank each of you who have contributed to the support of this ever-growing program. Your contributions have provided many benefits to the students and faculty of MSM-UMR. Many of you have been contributing to the Alumni Association in increasing amounts, and have indicated that this year you will join the Honor Roll of Century Club donors. We welcome your generous gift and encourage others to follow your example. We don't have to rely too heavily on our excellent math background at MSM-UMR to realize the geometrically increasing function of each present member being a new $100 donor into the Century Club. I was fortunate to have been elected, last Fall, as a Director-at-Large of the Alumni Association, and have just recently returned from a Board Meeting on the Campus. I was extremely impressed with our new Chancellor, the new facilities, and the utilization of the funds which each of you have so generously given in support of your Alma Mater. Take a few minutes and reflect on your contribution; then join your classmates who are already receiving the Century Club Certificate of Recognition. Yours sinere1y,

Allan H. LaPlante
