UMR CHANCELLOR Alumnus Unlversify of Missouri-Rolla

Volume 52 Number 4 Some, perhaps many, of our readers know by now that Joseph M. Marchello ha's been named UMR's new Chancellor. They probably also know that Marchello was the Provost for the Division of Mathematics and Physical Sciences and Engineering at the University of Maryland. But what does this really say about the man and how the announcement has affected this campus? Perhaps if you were here in Rolla and wandered out Âˇ to the General Services building of the UMR campus, you would see our skilled carpenters preparing a fence for the Chancellor's Residence. That sight would remind you .that for the past few weeks you have noticed the Building and Grounds trucks come and go around the Chancellor's Residence with the workers trimming the hedges, adjusting an air conditioner below an upstairs window, applying some paint to the steps, unrolling some hose for the late afternoon watering of the spacious lawn, and ... you suddenly realize that UMR is going to have a Chancellor and his family living and entertaining in the Residence. You are also aware that the vague sense of excitement you have had since the official announcement of his appointment has been growing, quietly and steadily.

August 1978 Marchello's previous position also tells us something about the man and his qualifications. The Mathematical and Physical Sciences and Engineering division, of which he was Provost at the University of Maryland's College Park campus, is similar in size and academic atmosphere to UMR. It has approximately 5,000 students and 600 faculty and staff, includes the College of Engineering, the Institute for Physical Science and Technology, the Transportation Studies Center; the departments of computer science, mathematics, physics and astronomy; and the meterology program. Marchello was Provost of this division for the past five years. He is a 1955 graduate of the University of Illinois and received a Ph.D. in chemical engineering from Carnegie-Mellon University in 1959. He taught at Oklahoma State University from 1959-61 before going to the University of Maryland as an assistant professor. He was made a full. professor in 1966, named chairman of the chemical engineering department in 1967 ,and was promoted to Provost of the division in 1973. So, after 17 years at the University of Maryland, Marchello accepted the Chancellorship at UMR, and at 44, he will be the youngest of the University of Missouri's four campus chancellors . .

But come to think of it, there had been an air of mounting anticipation over the past year concerning the selection of a new It was obvious that University of Missouri chancellor. Dr. Jim Pogue was at the helm as President James C. Olson shared UMR's anInterim Chancellor. His alert and genial ticipation and pleasure at the decision when, leadership alleviated the pressure of time so on the morning of June 7, he traveled to the search committee could give full attention Rolla to hold a special meeting with UMR to sort through, review or interview nearly 200 nominees for the job. And there had been the predictable amount of rumors on and off campus followed by what seemed like long periods of silence on the subject. It was clear the committee had taken its task seriously and was proceeding with determination. It was equally apparent that to be chancellor of this University, in this day and age of global ----energy entanglements, of technological advances and dilemmas, the candidate would have to be a special kind of "engineeradministrator." And so he is. Shortly after the announce'ment, we find Marchello introducing himself and his wife as Joe and Louise at the recent MSM-UMR Alumni gathering in Washington D.C., hosted by John and Kelly Toomey. (See the Alumni Section News for the full story.) We also learn that Marchello continues to view his original training and background with respect: he is a registered professional engineer. And we are all pleased to learn that he has already made appointments to visit UMR faculty and staff in their offices including a stop by the Alumni Office in Harris Hall.

JOSEPH M. MARCHELLO

Rolla, Missouri faculty and staff in the civil engineering auditorium, the setting for the announcement. "We are fortunate to find someone of Dr. Marchello's background and administrative ability to lead the Rolla campus," Olson said. "He has received high marks among his colleagues at Maryland as an administrator, teacher and professional engineer." Dr. Jim Pogue was in the audience for the announcement and Olson turned to him, saying, "I want to take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation to Jim Pogue. He has provided leadership for this campus since January 1977, and I can't think of a quality of service that has been greater since I have been associated with the University," The audience quickly came to their feet with a long round of applause for the Interim Chancellor. President Olson and his staff then circulated a list of Dr. Marchello's credentials to the audience: impressive material, to Say the least. His public and professional services have included being chairman of the Maryland Air Quality Control Advisory Council, a member of the Maryland Advisory Commission on Atomic Energy, chairman of the Maryland Power Plant Siting Committee, and senior operator of the University of Maryland nuclear reactor . . Dr. Marchello's professional and honorary society affiliations and assignments include the Air Pollutiori Control Association, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, the American Chemical Society, the New York Academy of Science, the American Society of Engineering Education, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and both the National and Maryland Societies of Professional Engineers. He is a native of East Moline, Illinois, and his wife, Louise, is a native of Wilmington, Delaware. She grew up ih Aiken, South Carolina. They have two daughters, Sara Leigh, 14, and Katherine, 12. In July, the Chancellor met with MSMUMR Alumni Association officers and pastpresidents in St. Louis, where he was introduced by University of Missouri President, James C. Olson. In discussion with the group, he shared some of his aspirations and his remarks clearly reflected his enthusiasm for the tasks ahead. When asked about his pending return to his native midwest, he said, "Although the decision was the result of much thought, Louise probably cast the deciding vote, and the entire family looks forward with pleasure to the personal and professional opportunities at the University of Missouri-Rolla and in the Rolla community."

The building housing the Graduate Center for Materials Research at the University of Missouri-Rolla was dedicated as Martin E: Straumanis Hall in ceremonies Monday , April 17, in Centennial Hall of the University Center East. A reception and tours of the building followed . Dr. Leonard L. Levenson, director of the Graduate Center for Material Research opened the ceremony . Dr. Bruno Jirgensons, University of Texas System Cancer Center, Houston, Tex., spoke on " Persona l Rememberances of Marti n E. Strauma nis." Dr. William 1. James, senior investigator, . materials research a nd professor of chemistry, delivered remarks on " Martin E. Straumanis-Researcher," and Dr. Harry Weart, chairman of the metallurgical and nuclear engineering departmen t, spoke on "Martin E. StraumanisT eacher." A reception followed t.he conduding remarks by Dr. Levenson with tours of the materials research ' facilities in the building. The new name honors Dr. Martin E . Straumanis who was a member of the UM R faculty from 1948 until his death in 1973. Dr. Straumanis received his education at the University of Latvia in Riga . Wh ile carrying ou t electrochemical research he developed a new approach to the study of meta l corrosion problems. After further stud y in G ermany, in 1927, he returned to the Uni versity of Latvia faculty . In 193 1, he 'studied x-ray diffraction in Berlin, then . established an x-ray laboratory in Riga where he and . one of his graduate students, Alfreds levens, developed and perfected what is now called the "Straumanis Asymmetric Method" for x-ray precisfon determination of lattice parameters of solids. During the lafe 1930's he continued his work and published extensively on both electrochemistry and solid state science. He was co-author with Dr. Bruno Jirgensons of a text on "Colloid

Chemistry" which has been revised and has recently been ' printed in several languages. It is still in general use in the field . For the next few years, Latvia was occupied by both Russians and Germans. Straumanis and his family, leaving behind relatives' and all personal belongings, became associated with the Insfitute for Metal Chemistry at the University of Marb1Jrg in G ermany. When the Allies closed the Institute in 1947, Straumanis a nd his fa mily were unable to return to Riga which was then under Russia n con trol. He accepted an offer from UMR Dea n Curtis L. Wilson to come to Rolla and be a reSearch professor of metallurgy. In 1954, Strauma nis, in collaboration with Prof. W.J. James of UM R's chemistry department, initia ted several research programs which continued u ntil his death. Some of UMR's first federal support for research was obtained from the National Science Foundation and the Atomic Energy Commission for their projects. When the Graduate Center for Materials Research was instituted in 1964, Dr. Straumanis was offered the posi tion of research Professor with dual appointments in the center and the department of metallurgical engineering. Du rin g h is ten u re at UMR, Straumanis published more that 300 arficles in professional journals, coauthored three texts, wrote book reports, chapters for texts and encyclopedia, federal and industrial reports on his research and presented numerous papers and seminars. His international reputation as a scientist was enlarged and he won many honors all over the world. In addition, more than 100 graduate students,. scattered all over the world, studied under his direction. Many today are recognized as outstanding teachers, scie!1tists and engineers.

UMR Physics Department Opens Harold Q Fuller Reading Rooms A reception was held at the opening of the Harold Q Fuller Reading Rooms Wednesday, May 10, in Room 208 of the Physics Building at the University of Missouri-Rolla. Dr. Harold Q Fuller is dean emeritus of UMR's College of Arts and Sciences and professor emeritus of physics. Funds donated for the purpose last

year by faculty, alumni and friends, at the occasion of Dr.. Fuller's retirement, were used to refurbish two rooms in the Physics Building. One room will be used as a library and reading room and the other as a conference room. The library will make readily available to both students and faculty the most recent publications in the field of physics.

University of Missouri-Rolla faculty, staff, students, alumni and friends of the late Dr. Aaron J. Miles attended ceremonies Saturday, May 13, in the auditorium of the Mechanical Engineering Building designating that racility as the "Aaron Jefferson Miles Memorial Auditorium." Dr. Miles, who died in 1977, was chairman of the mechanical engineering department for 23 years and was first dean of UMR's School of Engineering. Principal address at the occasion was delivered by The Reverend Kenneth W. . Davidson, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Rolla. Dr. T. R. Faucett, chairman of the mechanical engineering department, announced details of. the establishment of the Aaron J. Miles Memorial Scholarship Fund. Originally constructed in 1968 as part of the Mechanical Engineering Building addition, the auditorium is the largest lecture hall on campus, seating more than 300 people. Its central location on campus insure's its use by almost every department and organization at UMR for important speakers and special events. The auditorium has recently been refurbished with the addition of new carpeting, acoustical tiles on the wans, and a new, more adequate public address system. Dr. Miles was a native of Caruthersville. He received his B.S. degree in mechanical engineering in 1930 and his M.S. degree in mathematics in 1931 from the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy (now UMR). He became a member of the faculty here and served as an instructor in, mathematics from 1930 to 1933.

Jim Scott: Professor/Inventor Jim Scott, UMR professor in mining, has had more than a theoretical interest in the safety of mine roofs and ways to improve their support. With the invention and patent of his Split-Set friction rock stabilizer, the combination of his academic and direct experience background have resulted in positive, physical improvements for the mining industry. After receiving a B.S. de~ee in rpining from UMR in 1950, Jim . began a varied career that saw him hold positions such as mine foreman for Bethlehem Steel Co., general manager of marble quarries, assistant director of the U .S. Bureau of Mines in Washington D.C., with time out to complete a M.s. degree from UMR and a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. Since 1963, when not on leave for private consultation, he has been professot of mining at UMR.

A few years ago, ji~ was recovering from an illness, and with the long hours spent in recupenition his -: thoughts returned to the problems o( the safety of mines: the heavy shafts of metal driven into the walls of rock only to become loose with the passage of time, concerned him. He believed there should be a system of support that would settle into the rock tightly as time went on, instead of working loose. Finally, h!! had an answer: a metal cylinder that would not quite meet at the sides, that would be compacted as it was forced into a shaft, and wO!lld open out to fit tightly against the inside of the , shaft after it was in place. In 1975, the idea was patented and soon Ingersoll-Rand acquired the license to manufacture and distribute the device, resulting in 20 per cent of the roof fixtures in metal and non-metal mines in this country using Scott's friction rock stabilizers. In Missouri some of the lead mines make use of the device and nearly all the uranium mines in the United States are using the Split-Set, as well as the deep mines in Idaho. Along with the added safety, th~ stabilizers have several advantages over older methods. Their performance is equal or better than resin systems; they are less costly; labor and installation time is less; their support can be customized to roof geology; their support will continue after roof movement, and their anchorage increases with time. It also offers the rock mechanics engineer an opportunity to design in ways not possible before. To date, Ingersoll-Rand has 2.2 million of the stabilizers and projects that by the year 1985 there will be about 25 million units used per year. Already the company is beginning to market them in South Africa, Canada, Australia and Europe.

An engineering management team from the University of Missouri-Rolla is one of two regional winners of the u.s. Small Business Administration's (SBA) "Small Business Institute Team of the Year" competition. The two students making up the Rolla team are Walter L. Barton of St. James and Ken Vaughn of Belleville, Ill. Barton is a 1977 UMR graduate and Vaughn is a 1978 graduate in engineering management at UMR. The' winners were one of several teams in an engineering management class at UMR entitled "Small Business Institute Laboratory." Dr. Ray Cuthbertson, professor of engineering management, is in charge of this laboratory class. Dr. Henry A. Wiebe, associate professor of engineering management, was faculty counselor for the Barton-Vaughn team. Within Dr. Cuthbertson's class each student-faculty team works with a small business in Missouri to solve a particular problem defined by the comapny. A summary of the work done, with recommendations for a solution, is presented to the company in the form of a report. It was a copy of the report by Barton, Vaughn and Wiebe that was submitted in the contest. Announcement of the winners in this contest was made by Conrad E. Lawlor, director of the SBA's Region VII which includes Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. In making the award Lawlor praised the UMR entry, saying "This case was effective not only in its objectives, but sets a potential system that could be used by others in reducing energy use and costs. The case selected is an excellent example of work done.by a student team." The UMR team of Barton, Vaughn and Wiebe worked on a case involving energy cost reductions for Hemco, Inc. in Hermann. Dr. Cuthbertson added that small business in Missouri may contact the engineering management department at UMR or go through the SBA when seeking assistance. "We cover a wide range of business problems," he said, "from marketing to preventive maintenance. The program is really a balance of engineering and business." In a letter to the head of the depart· ment of engineering management, Dr. Bernie Sarchet, F.J. Roussel of the U.S. Small Business Administraton said regarding the awards: "The UMR SBI program has always been the best in the district and we are happy to see this outstanding performance being recognized on a regional basis."

ing Highway 40. The 700 acres are being retained for future uses by the University as a possible location for some educational programs or an addi· tional campus site to serve the rapidly growing St-. Louis metropolitan area. The sale must be approved by the General Assembly and governor under a 1977 law requiring such approval for sales of 2,500 acres or more of University land. The sale also is contingent upon the University being able to resOlve the annexation of 3,000 acres of the tract by the community of Weldon Spring Heights. The annexation was approved by the St. Charles Administrative Court on June 22. There are several areas of give and take on the property being sold-the University may continue for up to five years agronomy experiments on about 40 acres of what would be Conservation Department land. The University would also be able to use Department land for other educational purposes, including archaeological work, with permission from the Conservation Department.

Rex ·Z. Williams, Board of Curators president, expressed pleasure over the agreement. "I believe the compromise reached will benefit all Missourians, since both the University and the Conservation Department would be able to upgrade their programs of service to the public," Williams said. UM President James C. Olson said the sale will allow the University to strengthen its academic programs.

"Investment earnings from the S12.4 million would be of substantial help in permitting the University to improve the quality of its teaching and research, which are so vital to the progress and well-being of Missouri," Olsqn said. Weldon Spring fills a gap between the Conservation Department's 7,000-acre August A. Busch Memorial Wildlife Area and its" recently purchased 2,500·acre Howell Island site that gives Missourians essentially a contiguous 17,000 acres within 35 miles of downtown St. Louis. Highway 94 separates the Busch and Weldon Spring sites and the channel of

the Missouri River separates Weldon Spring and Howell Island. "We're delighted," said Larry Gale, director-designate of the Conservation Department. "The addition of more than 7,000 outdoor use acres that close to a major metropolitan area is almost impossible anywhere in the country and we're fortunate this land was available." Studies have shown that "open space" is one of the St. Louis area's most pressing needs. Much of Weldon Spring can be managed as the Busch Area, which is primarily upland site, but Weldon Spring also has steep bluffs, dense forest and river bottom lands fronting on the Missouri River. "We think that the Weldon Spring acquisition is the most mwortant step so far in our Design for Conservation program," Gale said. "It fits so many of the ideas that we proposed in the Design, everything from an urban forest to a waterfowl area." The Design is being financed by the one-eighth cent sales tax passed by voters in 1976. In the first year of the tax, the Department has bought more than 30,000 acres, located all over Missouri.

Coors Experimental Equipment Gift The University of Missouri System Board of Curators (June 30) accepted a donation by the Adolph Coors Co., Golden, Colo., of experimental equipment valued at S500,000 to expand the wood energy research program at the Rolla campus. The equipment will be moved from its Colorado location and is schedueld to be operational by October. It will be used for research feasibility studies of various systems of converting some of Missouri's 1.8 million pounds of wood residue into low grade oil and gas. UMR engineers say the process is virtually polution free. The project is co-directed by UMR faculty members: Dr. Virgil Flanigan, professor of mechanical engineering; Dr .. Yildirim Omurtag, associate professor of engineering management and Dr. James

E. Halligan, dean of the School of Engineering. Both graduate and undergraduate students will be involved in the studies planned. The St. Louis engineering consultants firm, Sverdrup and Parcel, is providing assistance with the development of research systems. This equipment has a capacity of processing several tons of wood residue a day. It constitutes the largest experimental processing method of its kind in the country, according to Dr. Halligan. "Wood is not going to be the answer to this Country's energy needs, because there just isn't enough of it," Dr. Halligan says. "But this research could show us how to convert something that was not formerly used into energy on an economically sound basis." Coors, producer of Coors beer, has been known for its ecological advocacy.

It has been operating the equipment to conduct tests on the feasibility of using the wood energy conversion method to provide industrial energy needs on a small scale. . Halligan points out that there are 1,200 wood industries in Missouri. Most of them are too small to operate current wood processing methods independentIy. Collectively, however, these businesses form a' major industry which generates vast amounts of wood residues. Annual production of wood residues in the Eastern Ozarks 'Region is valued at more than SI8 million. The University's initial investment in the project will be approximately S70,000. Additional funding for the project is being sought from the U.S. Department of Energy.

SAEHonors UMR Professors Dr. Ronald H. Howell, professor of mechanical engineering, and Dr. Dwight C. Look, Jr., associate professor of mechanical engineering, were recently honored by the Society of Automotive Engineers as recipients of the 1978 Ralph R. Teetor Educational Award Program "in recognition of significant contributions to teaching, research, and student development during 1978."

Dr. Ronald H. Howell (left) and Dr. D.C. Look display awards presented to them as Teetor Award recipients by the National Society of Automotive Engineers. The plaques were awarded at the May meeting of the St. Louis Section.

Ralph R. Teetor, an SAE member for more than 50 years and President of the Society in 1936, established the Educa· tional Fund that bears his name in 1964. Those selected for the award are the guests of SAE for three and a half days during the SAE Automotive Engineering Congress and Exposition in Detroit. MSM Alumnus /7

Jackling Summer Institute The Fifth Annual Jackling Institute was held from July 9-14 and July 16-21, with 59 high school · students participating. The students, most of whom will be high school seniors this fall, were selected from 120 applicants from the state of Missouri. The purpose of the Institute is to familiarize students with the mineral industries with three days devoted to presentations by faculty and students of the six disciplines. Inters.persed in the studies was a trip to the Brushy Creek Mine and a float trip on the Current River. Charles A. Sorrell, UMR pmfessor of ceramic engineering, said of this year's Institute: "The student participants were generally very interested, in~ quisitive, and appreciative. Their comments indicated that they learned a great deal about the School of Mines and Metallurgy. They were glad to learn of career opportunities in the minerals areas, and they are seriously considering these as career choices."

The Miner Band performed on Canal Street in the Krewe of the CarroIton Parade during Mardi Gras 1978 in New Orleans, LA. At present, there are 240 members in the various UMR Miner Bands.

Pacific Northwest The Kirkland-Bellevue Elks Club was the scene, February 18 was the date, and the annual dinner reunion was the catalyst for a Pacific Northwest Alumni Section meeting. Graduates spanning sixty-seven years came from throughout western Washington to reminisce about MSM, UMR, Rolla and "the good old days". (Seems to be a relationship between years since graduation, hour of the Bill & Mary Brunjes evening, and tallness of tales about that academic environment!!!) Following a scrumptious Northwest dinner, the annual election of officers was held, complete with the customary denials of eligibility by the nominees. After the last recount still showed only one negative vote for each unopposed candidate, Art Krause was declared president, Gerry Hammond vicepresident, and Pete Maisch secretarytreasurer. Chuck Hollenbeck presided over the meeting and presented a gift of a UMR belt buckle to Jack Harlan in recognition of his continued active support of the AlUmni Association and the Pacific Northwest Section. Dancing and socializing followed well (L-R) Sandy Hollenbeck, Harriet Spanel, Rosey Hoffmann, into the evening at the club with each Chuck Hollenbeck, Pat Duvall one pledging to continue the festivities at the coming summer picnic.

Edith Fort Smith Refires No one has worked on the MSM· UMR campus as long as Edith Fort Smith, unless perhaps it would be someone on thdaculty. To be exact, for 40 years Mrs. Smith has called Parker Hall her second home. But that's not counting the time she spent there as a child. "It was always a thrill to walk through these marble halls and cool your bare feet. I never thought I'd _be walking these halls for 40 years with my shoes on," she said. Mrs. Smith was honored for those 40 years with a retirement reception in St. Pat's Ballroom at the UMR University Ce~ter, April 28. . She came to UMR, then the Missouri School of Mines, in 1938, when W.R. Chedsey was director of the school and when the business offire-decided to ex· pand its staff from three employees to four. Now it has. about 35. Mrs. Smith has worked at UMR during perhaps its greatest expansion period. She has seen a director, a dean, two chancellors and two interim chancellors run the campus. She was ad· ministrative secretary to Dean Curtis Wilson and Chancellor Merle Baker. Her husband, Hueston Smith, is an engineer in St. Louis and past President of the Missouri · Association of Con· suiting Engineers. Her brother, George Fort, is a con· suiting engineer in Oklahoma City. Mrs. Smith will not disappear after her retirement. "Oh no, no, I'll always be interested in the campus and the peo· pie here, because, as I said, this is a se· cond home to me." In fact, she might even be pressed into service to help in the business office if necessary, she said.

liThe Univerisfy .of fhe Third Age "The University of the Third Age," a series of courses for older adults are now being offered by the University of Missouri·Rolla in four area com· munities. Courses are scheduled at John Knox Village of the Ozarks, St. Robert; Har· wood Manor, Lebanon; Rolla Towers, Rolla; James House, St. James; the Methodist Church of Salem, and the Dent County Community Center, Salem. Not all courses will be given at all locations. Topics discussed will include geology, weather, anthropology, history , literature , e.conomics, philosophy , foreign language (Spanish), psychology, linguistics, music and architecture. In· structors are UMR faculty members. Courses are incorporated in one· hour sessions and range from a single lecture to a· 12·week foreign language series. The series will continue to Feb. 15, 1979.

Barbara Clayton, UMR lecturer in English, is director of the project which is funded by a federal grant of $15,000 through the Missouri Division of Com· munity Development. The series is an extension activity of the UMR College of Arts and Sciences. Mrs. Clayton says that "University of the Third Age'" is designed to fill a need for cultural and intellectual stimulation for older adults. "The older residents of South Central Missouri are provided fre· Quent opportunities for recreation and handicrafts, but, except for occasional special events, cultural and intellectual opportunities are sorely lacking.", she says. "Thes~ courses are especially tailored to the desires of the older adult who wants to remain in the mainstream of his society and can use the tool of contin ui ng education to do so." The courses are free and open to anyone who wants to attend MSM A lum nus / 13

Aubrey FeUows writes: "There could be some mistake in our records: I graduated ip 1907 but remember the first St. Pat's day and parade which the Alumnus says was started in 1908, .one year after my graduation and removal from Rolla. I would love to know who is mixed up -St. Pat or myself." After some checking into sources, Aubrey is probably right: there was St. Pat activity on the MSM campus prior to 1908. 1908, however, was the first highly organized year.

Alumni Services Expanded Have you lost track of Charlie? Ever wonder what happened to Bert? The MSM-UMR Alumni Office is now offering a "directory service" to alumni for their personal use. We can print you a list of all the graduates for the year of your choice, the area codes you specify, or the social fraternity you pledged and have it back to you in about two weeks. The alumni office uses a Cathode Ray Terminal (CRT), for maintainil)g records (the same kind often used by hospitals). It is connected by phone line to the centralized computer network in Columbia. Our records are stored there on disk and the computing is done on the University's IBM 370/168. Printing is done on the Rolla campus and turnaround is usually within a couple of days. In the olden days, before going computer, our records were updated by hand in three separate files at a rate of 40 per day (43 if you were very good). Today, records are updated at the CRT keyboard and that one correction takes care of all three alumni files plus any other organization's address record that we maintain (we have the ability to keep track of addresses for 89 separate organizations), and the new speed record is 48 updates an hour. Information available to you from the "directory service" will include year of graduation, first degree granted, zip code areas, lists for the 19 social fraternities and 24 campus organizations currently on file, and codes for alumni living in foreign countries. In order to request a list for YOUR PERSONAL USE ONLY, write the Alumni Office, 109 Harris Hall, University of MissouriRolla, Rolla, MO 65401 , and ask for any of these selections: -Complete zip code area list for the Class of-Complete alphabetical list for the Class of-Complete list of fraternity brothers, Class of-

Fees To Change A University of Missouri committee has recommended a fee structure model for 1979-80 which, if approved, would raise some fees and lower others. The recommendation of the 13-member Fee Structure Task Force was sent to UM President James C. Olson on July 14 for his review . Changes in the fee structure must also be approved by the Board of Curators.

The UM system committee, chaired by vice president for Administrative Affairs, James R. Buchholz and comprised of students, faculty and staff, was asked to develop a structure to generate revenue sufficient to offset the amount anticipated from all student fees from 1978-79 plus a reasonable adjustment for inflation; take into consideration the special situation of the part-time student; deal with supplemental fees and extension and address the question of access.
