In response to a motion adopted at the Alumni Association Board's annual meeting at Homecoming, University officials authorized Frank Mackaman to conduct a search which lead to the appointment of James S. Taylor, Columbia, Missouri, to the position of Assistant Director of Alumni Activities. He began his duties February 8, 1978. The Board had expressed concern that the alumni activities office be adequately staffed since the position formerly filled by Ike Edwards had been eliminated in a university-wide "costsaving" effort. This concern was shared by Association President Dick Bauer with University President Olson, Interim Chancellor Jim Pogue and Director of External Affairs, Bernard Sarchet. It was largely due to these people and the campus Resource Management and Planning Committee that funding was secured to re-establish the position. Taylor attended the University of

Missouri-Columbia as an undergraduate and later earned his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, where he taught freshman English and edited the University's literary magazine, Sou'wester. In the past, he has worked as a magazine editor, newspaper reporter, feature writer and public relations director in Missouri, Illinois and New Mexico. Most recently, he was Executive Director of the Magic Valley Rehabilitation Center in Twin Falls, Idaho, where he was in charge of developing a volunteer program and community relations. Jim , as he prefers to be called, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack C. Taylor of Columbia, Mo. His father is the former editor of the Missouri Alumnus and writer for the Office of Public Information at UMC. Taylor will be involved in all facets of

alumni actIvItIes and will have major responsibilities in the editing and publishing of the MSM ALUMNUS, the further development of the Class Coordinator program of the Association and liaison with campus student groups. Jim, when accepting the appointment said: "I am very pleased to join the effort on behalf of the University of Missouri and the MSM-UMR Alumni Association. My wife and I are looking forward to raising our family in Rolla and are very happy to be permanently located in Missouri. Through my father, I have long known of the exemplary loyalty and devotion which is traditional among alumni of this school. The international reputation of the Missouri School of Mines and the University of MissouriRolla adds to the attractiveness of this opportunity . I am anxious to meet as many alumni as possible and hope to be able to serve them in an effective manner."

Professor KIlpatrIck:

A Lifetime of Inventive Genius A. Vern Kilpatrick was born in Houghton, South Dakota on February 21, 1887. He was awarded the Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from South Dakota State College in 1925 and the Master of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from Iowa State College in 1931. He joined the faculty of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy in 1926 and also served briefly at South Dakota State and Iowa State. He possessed exceptional skill as a mechanical craftsman and a broad knowledge of Mechanical Engineering. His mechanical prowess is legendary on the UMR campus where substantial evidence of his inventive genius abounds. Throughout his lifetime , he regarded perfection as a challenge and exercised his skills in the making of everything from delicate machine {ools to musical instruments. In 1957 at the age of 70 he officially retired as an active faculty member but continued until his death in December, 1977 as a consultant to the University. He continued to teach mechanical design until 1968 and thereafter consulted on special problems devoting nearly full time well into his final year. In addition to his academic service he held important industrial positions with

the Michigan Screw Company, Reo Motor Company, aids Motor Company and the McDonnell Aircraft Company. He received many honors and awards, ainong them a biographical listing in Who's Who in Engineering~

His broad perspective gained from nearly an eventful century in engineering, his gentle nature, and keen wit endeared him to all who passed his way and his close associates by whom he will be sorely missed. Surviving Professor Kilpatrick are his wife, Clara, and two daughters, Eunice Hamilton and Amygene Jackson, both of whom attended MSM. In recognition of Professor Kilpatrick's service to the University of Missouri-Rolla, BE IT RESOLVED: That the faculty of the University of Missouri-Rolla hereby expresses sorrow at his loss and expresses appreciation for his remarkable career covering 51 years of dedicated service; That this resolution be made a part of this faculty meeting on February 7, 1978, and that copies of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. A. Vern Kilpatrick, Mrs. Braith Hamilton, and Mrs. Charles Jackson.

A. VERN KILPATRICK Most recently he was given an alumni award in 1976. It was genuinely heartwarming to observe the loving respect accorded him at the awards dinner for his "inspirational loyalty and service."

Addresses: Mrs. A. Vern Kilpatrick, 1701 N. Pine, Rolla, MO 64501 ; Mrs. Braith Hamilton, 170 IN . Pine, Rolla, MO 6540 I; Mrs. Charles Jackson, 973 Charbonair Road , Florissant, MO 63031.

ROTC Aid to Students The following is a report on financial aid to UMR students through the ROTC program as submitted by LTC C. G . Marvin, chairman of the military science program:

a tax-free subsistence allowance of $100 per month for up to 10 months of each academic year. They also include an initial milage allowance from home to college.

"The department of military science provides UMR students with financial aid through Army ROTC Scholarships and subsistence payments to juniors and seniors who are enrolled in the program. Army ROTC Scholarships pay for tuition, textbooks, laboratory fees and other purely educational expenses, plus

"There are currently fourteen Army ROTC Scholarship students in UMR. Of these, eleven have four-year scholarships, two have threeÂˇ year scholarships and one has a two-year scholarship. The scholarship assistance these fourteen students will receive in the 1977-78 academic year totals $26,133.

"All non-scholarship juniors and seniors enrolled in ROTC receive the tax-free subsistence allowance of $100 per month. The nine juniors and five seniors who are non-ROTC Scholarship students will receive the tax-free subsistence allowance of $100 per month. The nine juniors and five seniors who are non-ROTC Scholarship students will receive a total of $1 2,599.99 during the academic year. "The total Military Science student financial assistance to be provided during 1977-78 is $38,733 .

From the oldest to the newes t, fraternities and sororities are alive and well at UMR . Consistently , for the past ten years, 25 to 30 per ce nt of UM R's undergraduates become members in the 19 fraternities and the two sororities. The turn of the century saw the first of the Greek house at MSM: Sigma Nu , Kappa Alpha and Kappa Sig, were all formed in 1903. In 1967 , Pi Kappa Phi was awarded its charter, and as recen tl y as 1972 and 1973 , the sororities Kappa Delta and Zeta Tau Alpha were organized . Plans are now underway fo r a third sororit y, Sigma Chi Omega, a local group, who have already received approva l of their constitution. Year after year, UM R's fraternities are singled out for national awards and honors for their various service and charitable programs, reflecting a tradition and spirit of service that has always been associated wit h the entire campus of MSMUMR. 4/ MSM Alumnus

The staff of the alumni office has for many years attempted to cooperate in any manner possible with the organized groups on campus. After the alumni records were converted to a computerized form in 1974, it was possible to make a slight modification in the data base to allow keeping alumni records for various campus groups. Fourteen of the social fraternities have furnished the alumni office with records of their alumni membership. Now when a basic alumni record is updated, the fraternity record is automatically updated also. Those fraternities using this service are then able to order lists and address labels for the promotion of their activities at a nominal cost. The staff welcomes this opportunity to serve students and is actively encouraging the five fraternities who are not now using this service to do so.

Alumni-Student-Faculty Conference, April 13- 14 The annual Alumni-Student-Faculty Conference will be held, Thursday and Friday, April 13 and 14, 1978_ The Alumni Association will host a banquet on Thursday night which will be attended by faculty and student conference participants and returning alumni. A recent tradition will be repeated with the presentation of certificates to alumni scholars and educational assistants. A speaker has not been announced at this writing. This annual event was first held in 1973 and features alumni from across the country who have returned to UMR at the invitation of their department chairmen to share alumni expertise with

students, faculty and other alumni. Since the conference is organized on a departmental basis, the format varies but in all cases conferees are given opportunities to exchange ideas, ask and answer questions, and to pursue a view of the department and the campus and

their relationship to the world. Last year the conference attracted 160 participants. Bill Flood is Association chairman for the event and Ted Planje is campus chairman with Paul Munger, Glen Haddock and Frank Mackaman as .campus committee members.

founder's Day 1978 "Our past is' but prologue ... " Dudley Thompson, Vice Chancellor

UMR vice chancellor, Dr. Dudley Thompson, was the main speaker for an address and slide presentation during the Founder's Day celebration. About 110 faculty members, administrators, parents and alumni attended the ceremonies held on campus at Centennial Hall. While acknowledging the presence of "the gloomy stock market, sick dollars overseas, jitters over Washington policy and a number of specific problems," Thompson also stated his belief that "our past is but prologue and that the future presents a challenge which, if UMR rises to the occasion, will justify

the past I08 years that have gone into preparing this campus to accept the challenge of meeting the needs of our society." In balance to the sometimes uncertain national picture, Thompson added that, "capital investments are being made, homes insulated, cars purchased, gasoline supplied, health care provided, and 16 to 20 years of education is being made available to young people who believe the prize is worth the race." He said he has been impressed with the quality and attitude of faculty and students at UMR over the years, and he

and his wife plan to stay in Rolla. "We believe that UMR has a heritage of courageous reason and that its alumni have been so endowed. We have faith that this will continue and we want to be close to where the action is." Dr. Thompson has been at UMR since 1955 and will close out his career August 31, 1978. There will be a retirement dinner for Dr. Thompson, May 4. Those who would like to send letters of congratulations are asked to write them on 8 Y2 x II paper, leaving an I Y2 inch margin to allow for binding. Letters should be sent to the Chancellor's office.

New O'r leans Larry Boston did it again, arranged an alumni get together for Louisiana in connection with the appearance of the Miner Band at the Mardi Gras parades on January 28 and January 29. Local alumni hosted a kegger for band members when they returned from the Saturday trek of about eight miles. Some were thirsty, all were tired. Adrian and Jean Daane had planned to make the trip but a last minute bad back episode kept them home. Association president Dick Bauer and wife Shirley were willing last minute attendees. The kegger was followed by an alumni dinner, while the band members sampled the night life in the French Quarter. All band members were on tap for the Sunday parade down Canal Street. The following made reservations for the event: Mr. & Mrs. Larry Boston, Mr. & Mrs. G. G.

The Alliance in Jeff City On January 31 , 1978, the Alliance of Alumni Associations of the University of Missouri sponsored a legislative leadership day in the State Capitol city. Volunteer and University staff members met at I p.m. in the Ramada Inn where they heard a program designed to give them particular insight into the University of Missouri's status as of that date. Attendees were welcomed by Milt Patton (UMSL), chairman of the Alumni Alliance, and President James C. Olson, of the University. A first this year was the presentation Iby Dr. Bruce Robertson, Commissioner of Higher Education, who delineated the University's Role in Higher Education. All present were very favorably impressed by Dr. Robertson's grasp 'Of the unique role of the University. although a relatively recent arrival upon the Missouri scene, he is a convincing advocate of higher education in the State. Following this overview presented by the Commissioner, Mr. James Bucholz, vice president for administrative affairs , presented the budget elements and University budget request for 1978-79 in language which made it possible for the audience to be convincing advocates in their afternoon visits with legislators. Jim Stephens, '47, founding chairman of the Alliance of alumni Associations, past president of the MSM-UMR Alumni Association, senior vice president of Missouri Public Service Company, and no stranger to the halls of the Capitol, explained the role of the volunteer in presenting the case for the

UMR Engineer Group Wins National Award

The University of Missouri-Rolla student chapter of the National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE) won second place in that organization's national contest on student professional development. The prize of $500 was given to the UMR chapter for a successful lobbying program to pass legislation that would allow engineering students to take their Engineer-In-Training (Ell) examinations during their senior years in college.

The examination is the fIrst step in registration as a professional engineer. The state attornney general's interpretation of the Missouri Registration law which went into effect in 1977 would have prohibited students from taking the EIT until after graduation. The UMR student chapter of NSPE launched a lobbying effort which got the law revised so that the students could take the exam prior to graduation as they had done before the attorney general's ruling.

UMR Opens Center for Applied Engineering Management The fonnation of the Center for Applied Engineering Management at the University of Missouri-Rolla has been announced by Professor Bernard R. Sarchet, chainnan of the department of engineering management. Dr. John M. Amos, professor of engineering management, is director. The center is funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration and U.S. Economic Development Administration. In addition, University of Missouri Cooperative Extension service will be administered through the center. It is located in the engineering management department in Harris Hall on the UMR campus. Professor Sarchet says that the new center will bring together resources of several UMR departments, University of Missouri business-industry extension specialists and U.S. governmental agencies to provide service to industry, especially small businesses. "Such service may be in matters of finance, marketing, production, personnel or technical areas," he says. "It will provide an organized means of getting technical infonnation to industries and bringing resources from governmental agencies to their aid. "The department of engineering management has, since its founding 10 years ago, devoted significant efforts to serving industries throughout the state. Bringing these efforts together in the center will greatly increase their effectiveness and should enlarge the outreach of the program," he adds. UMR officials expect the center to be especially helpful to industry in the southern part of the state where there are a number of small manufacutring plants. These small industries usually have small staffs and often need assistance in coping with technical problems or making production or product changes. Seven programs are planned for offering through the center, but other specific programs will be developed as needed, Professor Sarchet says.

CONFERRING ON PLANS for the new center for Applied Engineering Management at the University of Missouri-Rolla are, from left, Professor Bernard R. Sarchet, chairman of the department of engineering management; Dr. John Amos, director of the center and professor of engineering management; and Dr. James Halligan, dean, UMR School of Engineering. Announcement of formation of the center was made at at recent UMR conference on the future outlook for small business and industry.

Initial programs include: Technology transfer--getting needed information to small firm s from technical literature and from such governmental agencies as the Office of Technology Assessment and Forecast of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Energy--energy computer analysis for industrial firms , energy auditing and energy management workshops for small industries. Innovati ve Evaluation--compu ter feasibilit y evalua tion of innovative ideas.

Outlook information- -economic outlook information needed by industry for decision-making purposes available on a regular basis. Economic de velopment model-analysis of the degree of market saturation in a trading area for a particular economic activity. Ven ture capital infonnation--analysis of sources of capital for business development. T echni cal assi s tan ce --technical counseling to help finns use information received from the center.
