The Games
One of the major contests of the celebration is "The Best Cudgel!" The cudgel is an oversize shillelagh and is usually a project undertaken by several students. Win¡ ner this year was TKE fraternity. The decor is usually quite elabora te and one of the rules is that it cannot be bigger than a single student can carry for a specified distance at the annual games. Steve Diffey, above left , carried this year's winner, the skull carving, center above, was done by Kev in McGarten, and the SI. Pat head, above right, was whittled on the tree root by Dave McCuddy. Anot her cudgel, right, sported the carving of a full-length SI. Pat (organization and artist unknown) . Students had a great time participating in other contests at the games¡as usual (below).

Irish Dean, John Kelley, Finds Shamrocks in Rolla On St. Patrick's Day, John 1. Kelly, University of Missouri-Rolla visiting professor from Ireland, celebrated his coun try's national holiday in traditional style by wearing a bunch of genuine shamrocks on his lapel. But the shamrocks didn't come from Ireland; Kelly and his wife found them at Maramec Springs nea r Sl. James He said that fin ding them grow in g in abu ndance in Missouri was a "bit of a shock." He ex plained, " It 's an Irish tradition that shamrocks grow only in Ireland. In fact, we all grew up on legends about how the plants died when people tried to take them elsewhere to grow. Until fairly recently, I honestly belived ito-and probably most Irish people still believe that tale." Kelly, who was dubbed an honorary Knight of St. Patrick Friday even ing and took part in the parade and oth er fes t i v it i e~ . said that he had heard about UMR 's Sl. Pat's traditions but that he was still a little surprised at the intensity of the celebration. "I've never seen a St. Patrick's Day parade conducted with such zest," he said. He gives UMR 's parade high marks in comparison with the New York City parade (in which he and a group of students participated last year) and with parades in Ireland. "St. Patrick's Day in Ireland is a popular holiday. It's our national holiday, and almost everything shuts down . Every town has a parade--Dublin's is the biggest. But the Irish don't take it all that seriously." Dr. Kelly is dean, fac ulty of engineering and architecture, Uni versit y College, Dub lin . His two-week visit to UMR was 10 MSM Alumn u s
sponsored by the UMR Center for International Programs and the Visiting Professor Program. He had a busy schedule. In add ition to pa rticipating in Sl. Pat's festi vities, he gave two lectures and a semin ar in chemica l enginee ring and a slide show and talk for a ge nera l audience. He also held num ero us meetings with engineering deans and department chairmen and faculty , "a kaleidoscope of people," he said. "My overall objective on campus is to try to establish better relationships between University College and UMR which could result in an exchange progra m between the two campuses," he said . Last year five graduates of University College were at UMR for graduate work in chemical engineering. Kelly hopes to have UMR graduates come to his campus in return. University College, the largest of Ireland's state-financed institutions, has 10,000 students with about 1,000 in engineering. He hopes the exchange program can begin next September. Kell y was accompanied by his wife, Nora, and their four children. The Kell ys, who spent 1969-70 at the University of Maryland on a Fulbright fellowship, have close professional and personal ties to this country . And, with the propsed UMR-U niversity College exchange program, they are looking forward to even stronger bonds between the land of St. Patrick and this part of the Ozarks which has adopted the venerable saint as its own .

UMR Engineers Work on Solutions To Wood Waste Problems What do you do with almost three million cubic yards of sawdust and bark? That's the estimated volume of the ever-growing mounds of wood residue around the state's 600 sawmills and wood processing plants. As waste, the residue creates problems. Burning it would pollute the air; acid water runoff from dump areas would pollute streams. The Center for Applied Engineering Mangement at the University of Missouri-Rolla has some other ideas: use the sawdust for fuel in furnaces and the bark for mulch.

These recommendations--backed up with specifics--are part of a response to a request from the Missouri Forest Products Association for help in disposing of wood residue and determining its marketability. A study to assess the volume of wood residue in the state and to recommend alternate uses for it was funded by a grant from the Forestry Division of the Missouri Department of Conservation. Working with Department of Conservation foresters and University of Missouri extension specialists, researchers at the Center located and evaluated the unused wood residues. They saw the mounds of sawdust as a marketable resource, but getting the product to the consumer was another problem. "Because sawmills in Missouri are relatively small operations, mostly scattered across a wide area of the southern part of the state, transporting the 'waste' to market would cost more than it is worth," explains John Amos, director of the UMR center. "We began looking for something that would use small units of residue in the locality where the mill is located. We came up with the idea of a sawdust furnace, which could be used in a school or a small industrial plant located near the sawmill." A model experimental furnace was designed and built by the Wood Residue Research Group, a small group of laboratory research technicians in the center. Amos says that sawdust burners are not new, but have not been used much in recent years. The center's furnace is patterned on one designed before World War I. Researchers adapted the plans and made improvements such as adding a
heat exchanger and fan. It is now being tested at the Rolla Area Sheltered Workshop. Although the whole story is not in, results thus far indicate that it is a sucess. "The furnace is wonderful," says workshop manager Ernie Morris. "Once it gets going, it heats three times as fast as the old automatic furnace and uses less that one-fourth the electricity." It uses three wheelbarrows of sawdust a day to heat the 7,000-square-foot workshop building. The other half of the wood residue project, finding a commercial use for bark, is now under way. With an additional grant from the Missouri Conservation Department's Forestry Division, the center is studying marketing Missouri hardwood bark as a garden mulch. "At the present time, the mulch most people use is redwood bark brought in from California. Most of the price they pay is transportation cost," Amos says. "We are now doing a market analysis on Missouri hardwood bark to determine such things as what size bags to use, what the price should be and where to sell it. We will market a test product in the spring and fall and follow up on how well it has been accepted by the public." The request from the Wood Products Association is one of about 400 that came to center during the past fiscal year. Most--251 --were one-time requests: 145 req uired in-depth study. Projects are closely coordinated with businessindustry-labor specialists in the area. Requests have been va ri ed, but reflec t the needs of business and industry of the area. "For example, we are working now on an experimental pecan washer for the Southwest Missouri Pecan Growers Association to provide them with a less expensive way of cleaning pecans,'.' Amos says. These are all part of free counseling services offered by the center, establ ished in 1977 , to coordinate reso urces of UMR departments, University Extension specialists and U.S. Governmental agencies in helping area industries. "The purpose of the Applied Center for Engineering Management is to help find practical solutions to real problems," Amos concludes, "and our servies are available to small businessess and industries in Missouri.

Pictures Will Tell The Story At UMR When engineering drawing students at the University of Missouri-Rolla are asked to "picture this," they'll soon be turning to a computer terminal instead of a drafting table-thanks to a new computer graphics system. That system, which wiV enable UMR students to do work in computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM), will be introduced in freshman engineering drawing classes this summer. Eventually, the system will be integrated into all of UMR's engineering curricula. "Our use of the system in Engineering Techonolgy 10 (Engineering Drawing and Descriptive Geometry) classes during the summer session will be on an experimental basis," said Wells N. Leitner, UMR associate professor of engineering technology. "It will be a learning experience for us as well as the students. "We want to try some things and we want to see how the system will fit into the structure of the course," he continued. "We're also interested in seeing how quickly students will be able to transfer what they've learned to do by hand to the keyboard of a graphics termainal." l2 / MSM Alumnus
Although students' exposure to the system will be gradual, tney'll have a thorough knowledge of drafing and computer-aided design as an engineering tool by the time they've completed the course. "Students will have to learn the fundamentals of drafting at a table before they ever sit down at a graphics terminal," said George Swancutt, UMR associate professor of engineering technology. "Then when they're ready to start working with the system, we'll begin with the basics again-locating points and drawing lines, arcs and curves--before moving on the more complex drafting problems." Students will find , however, that this rigorous attention to basics will help them in their other engineering classes and In their careers as well. "It's a tremendous tool for visualization and conceptualization," Leitner said, "and one every engineer can make use of. There are so many different things you can do with it." The system is programmed to provide students with numerous drafting and geometric capabilities, including location of points; generation of lines, arcs and curves; and

the creation of shapes such as circles, squares, cubes and cones. In addition to allowing objects to be rotated and scaled, it also can provide two-and three-dimensional views and information on such things as surface area and center of gravity. "You only need to draw one two-dimensional view of an object," Swancutt said. "The computer is programmed to develop any other two or three dimensional view that you might want or need. All of this information then can be stored in the computer's memory for future reference.
"The system also will provide you with the correct data for your design," he added, "so that you can go back and correct your original drawing. It tells you what it should be." Other advantages that the system has over drafting done in the convential manner are the speed with which drawings can be produced and the ease with which modifications can be made in an existing design. "Drawing an ellipse by hand with a template is a com¡ plicated and time-consuming project," Leitner said. "But the

system can draw one on the terminal screen in a matter of seconds, and all you have to do is supply fo ur pieces of data." Because modifying input is added to the system by means of terminal keyboard and a data tablet, there is no need to puch computer cards and feed them into a reader. And becuase all drawing is done on the terminal screen, computer print-outs are no longer necessary, although hardcopy output is available if needed . "The 'interactive' nature of the system will allow students to see pictorial representations of the modifications they have made in their design almost immediately," Swancutt said. "Further modifications can be carried out with ease until a satisfactory design is achieved. " The " hands-on" experience that UMR students will get with CAD/CAM also will help them when it comes time for them to find jobs. "This is a technology that is going to revolutionize the engineering profession ," Leitner said . "A lot of industries already are making use of it and more are picking up on it every day. It certainly will be to a student's advantage when he or she enters the job market to have had some experience in the field." 14 MSM Alumnus

UMR Team Places Firsts in National Contest A student team from the University of Missouri-Rolla placed first in the Fifth Annual National Scholastic Programming Contest, held in conjunction with the Association for Comp).lting Machinery (ACM) Computer Science Conference at Stouffer's Riverfront Towers in St. Louis, Feb. 24-26. Twenty-two college and university teams competed in the contest which is sponsored by the committee on student membership and chapters of ACM. The teams invited to compete at the national level were first and second place winners from contests in eleven regions of the United States involving 195 teams. The teams of four students were given six problems to solve by written programs in American National Standard FORTRAN. The programs represented a broad range of computer applications ranging from determining the number and sizes of shaded regions on an encoded map to the
break-even analysis of a manufacturing operation. The UMR team solved all six problems. Team members are Cathy Pyron, sen ior in computer science, Rolla; Jim Simmons, senior in computer science, Florissant; Mike Richey, graduate student in computer science, St. Louis; and Chris Freund, sophomore in computer science, Springfield. Arlan DeKock, associate professor of computer science at UMR, is adviser. DeKock says, "the team members worked hard in both the regional and national competitions and deserve our congratulations. Their work reflects well upon the University." In addition to winning the trophy , UMR received an MDS 225 microprocessor development system donated by INTEL Corp. Rice Universit y finished second in the contest, followed by Washington University, University of Maryland, University of Virginia and the University of Louisville.

Dr. Charles S. Davis, University of Missouri-Rolla alumnus who was a recent visiting professor of civil engineering at his alma mater, has a formula he likes to share with today's students. It reads: Success equals (Knowledge plus ability) (attitude). "Attitude is really the most important," Davis adds. "Like a mathematical formula , no matter what knowledge and ability add up to, if attitude is bad--a zero--you will end up with a zero--no success. But a good attitude multiplies the knowledge and ability, and will total success," he explains. That was one of the messages he gave to different groups during several busy days on the campus. His visit was coordinated by the civil engineering department and fhe Minority Engineering Program (MEP) as part of MEP's Engineers Week observance. Davis lectured to five civil engineering classes and an engineering management seminar, conferred with St. Louis high school teachers who participated in an MEP-sponsored program and spoke at a banquet for them, and met informally with UMR faculty and students. Davis who received his Ph.D. in civil engineering at UMR in 1972, is president of Charles S. Davis and Associates Inc., Detroit. He has also been an adjunct professor at the University of Detroit and says that he welcomed the chance to get back into the classroom. He found many changes at his alma mater in the years since he left campus. Among them are not only a larger stu-
dent body, but a larger number of women and minority students. He encourages minorities and women to enter engineering, not because it is easy , but because, he says, "It is challenging, exciting--and pays well ." Davis himself got into engineering because of an interest in mechanical drawing in high school. After receiving his B.S. in civil engineering in 1961 from Prairie View A. and M. College, he worked for eight years as a structura l engineer in the aircraft industry, with two years as an officer in the U.S. Army. He recieved his M.S. in civil engineering at the University of Washington. He was taking evening courses in UMR's Graduate Engineering Center in St. Lou is and was employed as a structural engineer with McDonnell Douglas when he decided in 1970 to come to UMR and work full time on his doctorate. Davis was on the product planning and research staff of Ford Motor Co. until 1978 when he formed his own consulting firm , which specializes in automotive design, structural analysis civil engineering, computer science and sanitary engineering. "I had always thought I would like to have my own firm ," he says, "and this seemed to be the right time." His firm , which began in his basement with just two people, now has more than 400 employees; about 30 percent of them are engineers. The firm is headquartered in Detroit, with other offices in Dearborn and Pontiac and a field office in Lansing, all in Michigan. MSM Alumnus / IS

Miner Baseball. ... Off To A Rough Start Despite having 14 letterman back from last season's 6-4 conference baseball squad, the University of M issouri-Rolla Miners are experiencing some rough times in the early season action_ UMR battled some tough Division I competition in Florida, and returned from the March 9-14 southern swing with an 0-9 record_ After getting back to home field advantage, the Miners dropped a conference-opening doubleheader to Southwest Missouri 12-2 and 9-0, after losing to MIAA foe Central Missouri 8-3 and 11-0. (The Mules are
not in the same division as the Miners). "Our schedule this season is very challenging and we knew it would be tough," said coach Chuck Broyles. ''The Florida trip allowed us to work on conditioning anG see how our new players compete." This year's team is paced by several returning statistical leaders, including the top two hitter off the 1979 team. Second baseman Ed Wagner (.392) helps power the infield crew, while outfielder Craig Thomas (.360) tries to match his fine freshman season. A new addition to the infield this year
is third baseman Steve Garbs, who moves in from the outfield. Garbs was one of the top hitters on the t~m during the early going, and has led the Miners in RBI's during the first 13 games. Also holding down an infield spot will be first baseman Rich Fuerman, one of the finest fie lders in the MIAA and the top returning RBI man of the club. "We have quite a few players who must step into some key positions if we are to do well," Broyles noted . "We have a very young pitching staff and may be starting three or four freshman in the regular lineup on certain days."

The top duo for UMR is Dave Bruner and Joe Blandina. Those two veterans are joined by newcomers Mark Dechant, Bill Lee, Zulkifli Mohamad and Tim Barefield.
The women's team, in its first year of play, is paced by freshman Lorna Platte, Sophomore Sheila McDonnell is the number two singles player, with Sheila Courtway, Julie Viessman, Phyllis Roberson and Barb Cummings making up the remainder of the team. The MALA W state tourament will be the ultimate goal. That action will take place May 1-2 in Joplin, Mo.

Deanne Lock, left, is the 1981 lead-off hitter for the softba ll tea m, and Leta Judd , right , is the top returnin g pil cher.
UMR Softball. .. Set For Second Season With their first season of competition under their belts. the softba ll Miners are set for another exciting season. UMR was 2-2 in the early going, losing a doubleheader to University of Missouri-St. Louis and sweeping two from Harris-Stowe. UMSL will be UMR's only Division II opponent this season, as the Miners are Division III in softbalL Coach Sarah Preston led the team to a 9-10 record last season, and key members of that squad return for this year's action . The Miners will be led by pitcher Leta Judd, who earned a 3-5 record last season and led the regulars with a .440 average. Catcher Anita Tikey also returns, bringing along a .308 average and 12 RBI's, trying for the club lead with first baseman Maria Ho lmes. HoImes also is back at the corner, taking
with her a .407 average from one season ago. Among the newcomers who have impressed Preston are pitcher Susan Appelbaum and catcher-infielder Judy RedeL ApPelbaum is three-year veteran of prep softball and served as St. Ann, Mo . . High School's team captain last year. Redel was on Vienna, Mo. prep's squad that was a state-runner up in 1979. She was a member of the district champions in 1980. Both players bat and throw the softball righthanded. "We have some good people returning and competition will be strong at all positions," Preston said in pre-season . "We engaged in a very intensive indoor practice session this winter and I look for that to help us when the actual schedule progresses throughout the season."
Miner Golfers Return Four Letterman With four returning lettermen leading the way, and some talented freshemen in the wings, UMR golf coach Bud Mercier is looking for bright things this sprin g. Last season's outstanding golfer, David Mueller, heads the list. Other returning leaders are Rick Bruns, PJ . Moran and Gary PohL Among the new golfers, Rolla prep star Ken Dinsdale heads the group. Mercier makes no effort to hide his praise for the new Miner.
"Kent has all the ability to become one of the best golfers in the MIAA," Mercier said. "He has a greaf attitude, doesn't let things upset him and is a real talented young man ." UMR's first regular-season battle against MIAA competition will be March 27 at Lincoln University, tuning up for an April 3-4 UMR Best Ball Tournament in Rolla. University of Missouri-St. Louis, and Southwest Missouri will also be in the event. Who will be the team to stop in 1981?
Mercier predicts, "Central Missouri has a fine team and will be tough to defeat again this season. It should be a' good year for them." The Miner coach feels UMR's team has excellent balance and should show vast improvement as the gain more confidence. "All of our returnees are capable of shooting 75 to 80, and Dinsdale is just now finding out how good a golfer he can be. We are all looking forward to the season." MSM Alumnu s12 1

Five Gr ad ua tes Co mp ete Ho nors Program Five University of Missouri·Rolla engineering students who received bachelor of science degrees at UMR's Winter Commencement had something extra to be proud of. They were the first five participants to complete the UMR School of Engineering's newly established honors program . The students were: John Thomas Miller, Fair Grove; David Brian Thompson, Kansas City; Ming K. Lau, Kansas City; David E. Reed, Black Jack; and William Y. Van, Hong Kong. The honors programs at UMR are voluntary and students participate in them mostly because it is an oppor· tunity to satisfy a personal challenge. It takes a great deal of the students' time. Requirements to enter the divisional honors programs are stiff. The student must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.5 or better (out of a possible 4.0). Each honor student is required to work on a special research or design project under the direction of a faculty member. In some departments there are special sections of advanc· ed courses which the honor student may take. Those in the program can take some graduate courses during their final two semesters of undergraduate work (instead of during the last semester only). These options allow the honor students to get a head start on work toward a graduate degree. The head start is a distinct advantage. In fact, four of these first five honor program graduates have decided to work towa rd graduate degrees and are enrolled in graduate school at UMR this semester. John Thomas Miller, who received his B.S. degree in civil engineering, chose to work on a project in the sanitary enginee ring area. His work consisted of synthesizing a chemical for use as a water disinfectant that would not result in trihalomethane production (a problem with some common disinfectants). John is the son of Lowell and Linda Miller, Route 2, Fair Grove. He is continuing his studies at UMR in the Hydraulidhydrology area of civil engineering. David Brian Thompson, the other civil engineering rna· jar, did his research on the development of "A Finite Element Ground Water Model," a process whereby informa· tion can be processed through computers to provide predic· tions about a given ground water ~ituation . David is the son of Jerry and JoAnn Thompson, "927 NE 37th Terrace , Kansas City. He is married and he and his wife, Janet, live on Route I, St. James. He, too, is conti·

nuing his work at UMR·-aiming for a master's degree in hydraulic engineering and hydrology in the civil engineering area. William Y. Van, mechanical engineering graduate, conducted an experiment to measure the growth rate of water droplets in a cloud chamber (a mechanica l dev ice in which small clouds are formed as they are in the atmosphere). William is from Hong Kong. But he began his academic career in this country at Penn Valley Community College in the Kansas City area. He transferred to UMR his junior year and entered the honors program during his second semester on campus. He, too, is continuing his work at UMR in graduate school. Ming K. Lau, who received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering, developed a set of experiments for computer automation systems. These experiments are designed for use
in UMR's undergraduate electrical engineering laboratories. Ming is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Yiu Lau, 423 W. 87th St., Kansas City. He is the only one of the five honors program graduates who is not working toward an advanced degree at UMR. He will be continuing to work in research areas, however, because he is now employed at Sandia Laboratories in New Mexico. David E. Reed also received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering. His research project consisted of analysis of components in communications systems such as radar, but designed to reduce the possibility of detection by other electronic means. David is the son of Morris Reed, 5342 Priorybrook, Black Jack (North St. Louis County). He is continuing his work with electronic communications through UMR's graduate school.

In announcing the award, the SCC Literature Award Committee cited Dr. Friberg's "efforts to elucidate the structure of the interfacial films in emulsions, (his) cogent interpretation of the nature of the interfacial film as a lamellar liquid crystalline phase and (his) important contributions to our understanding of the mechanism of the formation of microemulsions." A native of Sweden , Dr. Friberg earned his B.S., M.S. and advanced degrees equivalent to more than a Ph.D. from the University of Stockholm. He has been a member . of the UMR faculty since 1976 'and was named a Curators'
Professor in June 1979. Dr. Friberg's principa l area of interest is colloidal and surface chemistry and his research is concerned generally with systems of water, oil and amphiphilic substances. With his graduate assistants, he is studying the basic phenomena of emulsions, microemulsions and foams. Dr. Friberg served as the director of the Swedish Institute of Surface Chemistry from 1969-76 , and in 1974 he became the youngest person to be elected to the Royal National Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. In 1978 he received the SCC's Lecture Award, which was sponsored by Shaw Mudge & Company, and became only the third person from the United States to be granted honorary membership in the Japanese Chemical Society, Colloid Division .
