"Young Engineer of The Year" The following article i-s reprinted from the June, 1982, issue of the "Missouri Engineer."

Bob Berry: A Study •In Determination "The biggest problem I have is that it'~ difficult to say no," says Dr. Robert Berry about his participation in numerous civic and professional organizations.

Berry's difficulty stems not from lack of .resolve but from a belief that such activities are important to society and the engineering profession.

His decision and drive in civic, professional and educational pursuits were attributeS cited by the Honor A wards Committee of the National Society of Professional Engineers in choosing Berry as NSPE's 1981 Young Engineer of the Year.

Berry, 33, of Raytown, is-manager of project development for Burns & McDonnell Engineering Company and was one of 35 nominees for the award.

He was nominated by MSPE, which named him its 1981 Young Engineer of the

MSMALUMNUS (USPS-323-500) Issued bi-monthly in the interest of the graduates and former students of the Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy and the University of MissouriRolla.

Year. He is the first MSPE member to win the national award.

Berry says he believed there was a chance of his being the MSPE winner because he was the MSPE Western Chapter Young Engineer of the Year in 1980. However, he was shocked and surprised when he was informed that he had won the national award.

As manager of project development since September 1980, Berry coordinates elements of project development which include analyzing client requirements, defining project scope, organizing project teams, making initial client contacts, and organizing and preparing project proposals.

Since joining Burns & McDonnell in 1976 he has been involved primarily in water pollution control and solid waste management. Projects have included construction administration for expansion of a wastewater treatment plant from five to 20 million gallons daily for the local Little Blue Valley Sewer District and project manager for construction of 55,000 linear feet of gravity sewer under the proposed Blue Springs Reservoir, eliminating the need for lakesi(le~pumpmg Stations there.

NSPE Honor Awards Committee Chairman Sammie Lee, PE, said of the committee's choice, "Berry has shown tremendous dedication to all tasks and is a credit to his profession, not only through his work but through his studies. He continues to learn by attending numerous short course~ and seminars and it is most commendable that he had the drive to achieve his goals through night school."

Night school is a task Berry began in 1973 to simply "bone up on environmen路 tal subjects." But completing night school "became a goal," and by attending night shcool for seven years, Berry earned an M.S. degree in Engineering Management from Boston University in May 1975, an M.S. degree in En路 vironmental Health Engineering from the University of Kansas in May 1979, and a Doctor of Engineering from the University of Kansas the following May .

Berry received his B.S. in Civil Engineering in 1972 from the University of Missouri at Rolla in his hometown. His scholastic achievements during college included "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities," Distinguished Military Student and Graduate, D. F. Kennedy Technical Paper Contest winner, and dean's list. Berry was a member of numerous college organizations as well as a four路 year letterman on the varsity football team. His football achievements in路 c1uded All-Conference team, most valuable player, and Honorable Mention AIIAmerican, all in 1970.

Berry's desire for an active life stayed with him from college to his professional career. Among the many professional and civic groups of which he is an active member, in addition to NSPElMSPE, are: American Public Works Association, Society of American Military Engineers, American Society of Civil Engineers, Water Pollution Control Federation, Conference of Federal Environmental Engineers, Environment Committee of the Kansas City Chamber of Commerce, U.S. Army Reserve, Reserve Officer's Association of the United States, Advisor for Raytown DeMolay Chapter, and various masonic bodies.

Reflections By Bob's Adviser ...

Bob enrolled at UMR in September, 1967, after graduating from Rolla High where he excelled in athletics and, in particular, football. His main ambition was to become a star football player at UMR and earn a civil engineering degree. During that first semester his grades sometimes reflected his interest in athletics more than engineering, but he persisted in both goals and wound up doing a most creditable job at both .

In the spring of 1968 I became his academic adviser and continued in that capacity throughout the rest of his academic career. I was interested in both his athletic and academic career, but tried to emphasize that- ultimately-academic achievement would be most important and as an indication of good performance, his grades would attest to that.

On one particular occasion Bob came in and dropped the bomb that he was deciding to change his major and no longer wanted to pursue an engineering degree. It had been a particularly difficult semester for Bob- nothing had seemed to work for him . After much discussion, I was able to persuade him to take a little more time to think before making such a decision . I was convinced he was making a hasty judgment and might ultimately regret it. Somehow or other, it will never be known, Bob decided to reconsider, received his civil engineering degree in 1972, and entered military service.

Several times since 1972, I have been pleasantly surprised to receive forms asking for recommendations on Bob as he has applied for entrance to master's and Ph .D. programs. But to have a person who had so seriously considered leaving the engineering profession attain the lofty position of national "Young Engineer of the Year" is quite a shock- and a happy one, indeed .

His many acco mplishments in the very earl y stages of his career ha ve brought honor and pride to his alma mater, to the civil engineering de partment and to the engineering professio n.

It's New at UMR ...... .

The Mineral Technology Center Technology Center for PyrometalJurgy, is a highlight of the relationship that has long existed between UMR and the bureau."

"We're delighted that UMR was selected as the site for this new research center," said Dan Paulson, acting director of research at the Bureau of Mines' Rolla Research Center. "We look forward to sharing in the discoveries that the center's researchers will make as well as providing any assistance that might be needed."

"The center will serve as a central point at which a meaningful and integrated research effort embracing all aspects of pyrometallurgy can be established," said Dr. Thomas O'Keefe, UMR professor of metallurgical engineering who will serve as one of the center's research investigators. "Consequently, the center's staff will embody a broad base of expertise in the thermodynamics, kinetics and electrochemistry of extraction science."

In addition to O'Keefe, other UMR faculty members who will be involved with the center are: Dr. Arthur E. Morris (principal investigator), professor of "The backbone of industrial and defense techhology is the basic research carmetallurgical engineering; Dr. Don Askeland, professor of metallurgical engineerried on in such university laboratories across the country," UM President James ing; and Dr. Robert E.

UMR's Mineral Tehnology Center was one of four such centers to be funded The establishment of the center at UMR also represents a milestone in the . by the Bureau of Mines. The other three centers are located at the University of long-standing association between UMR and the Bureau of Mines. "The School Nevada-Reno, The University of Utah and Virginia Polytechnic Institute and of Mines and Metallurgy has collaborated on research with the Bureau of Mines State University. A total of 26 oroposals were submitted to the Bureau of Mines for many years," said Warner. "This new venture, in the form of the Mineral for consideration.

The establishment of a Generic Mineral Technology Center for Pyrometallurgy at UM Rolla will place the campus "in the forefront of national research efforts in the field of pyrometallurgy," according to Dr. Don L. Warner, dean of the School of Mines and Metallurgy .

The center, which will conduct research on the improvement of high¡ temperature processes used to obtain and purify metals from ore, has been funded by a three-year ~illion dollar grant, from the U.S. Bureau of Mines. The facility will be part of the Missouri Mining and Mineral Resources Research Institute in UM Rolla's School of Mines and Metallurgy.

"UM Rolla's selection as the location for this new research center is a tribute to the abilities of our faculty and students," said UM Rolla Chancellor Joseph M. Marchello. "Receipt of this grant will enable UMR metallurgical engineering to further enhance its already excellent reputation for teaching and research both here and abroad."

Mineral Engineering Building The mineral engineering building, The University of Missouri-Rolla's priority capital request, will give students and faculty facilities "that are consistent with the quality of our programs," says Dr. Don L Warner, dean of the School of Mines and Metallurgy _ The proposed building will be "home" for the six mineral engineering and earth sciences departments in the SchooL It will include classrooms; teaching and research laboratories; faculty offices for ceramic, geological, mining, metallurgical, and petroleum engineering, and geology and geophysics; and offices for the School of Mines and Metallurgy _ These now are housed in eight different buildings_ The new building will cost about $18 million, with 80 percent, or about $ 14_5 million coming from state funds and the remainder from private contributions_ Joseph 0_ Wollard, UMR executive director of administrative services, says that if state funds become available, cons.truction could start early in 1983.

The new building will fill long-standing needs, says mining engineering professor Ernest M . Spokes, who has held several administrative positions during his 19 years on the faculty .

"We're the oldest state-supported mining school in the country-going back to the founding of the School of Mines and Metallurgy in I 870-hut we've never had quarters really designed for us. We've .made do with 'hand-me-downs,'" he says.

Dr. Spokes points out that the School's departments, with some of UMR's oldest programs, are located in some of the older and less efficient buildings on campus.

'fThe Mining Engineering Building, which houses the mining, geological, and petroleum engineering departments, was built in 1902 as Mechanical HaiL Norwood Hall, which contains geology and geophysics, and the Old Cafeteria, where a mining engineering lab is located, were both built in 1903 ," he says.

"The Engineering Mechanics Building, which has metallurgical engineering's foundry , was built in 1909. Fulton Hall , which houses metallurgical and ceramic engineering, is the newest-built in 1923 as the U .S. Bureau of Mines Experiment Station."

Wollard says that some of the buildings vacated when the .School's programs move to the new building will continue to be used . "For example, nuclear engineering, which is part of the School of Mines and Metallurgy, will be relocated from temporary facilities to Fulton Hall, near the nuclear reactor," he says. "Some of the buildings, like Norwood Hall, will undergo extensive rehabilitation to bring them up to acceptable standards, and other buildings may be razed ."

Dean Warner says that rapid increase in enrollment has increased the need for new facilities. With high demand for graduates in the energy field, enrollment in the School has nearly doubled since 1974.

Mining engineering professor Richard Ash, who for several years has scheduled classes for the three departments in the Mining Engineering Building, says that he is having a real problem as classes grow larger.

"We're having to add sections and schedule classes in other buildings all over campus. It's not a desirable situation ," he says.

"All you have to do to realize the need for graduates in energy-related fields is

At a special election on June 8, Missouri voters approved a measure allowing the state to issue $600 million in revenue bonds over a five-year period. Proceeds from the sale of the bonds are intended to finance state construction and repair projects and economic development programs.

The principal and interest on the bonds will be paid off by the state over a maximum 25-year period.

In late June the l'illssouri Board of Fund Commissioners approved an initial issue of $75 mi11ion iIi general obligation bonds and Governor Christopher S. Bond called a special session of

the Missouri Legislature in inid-August to decide which projects to finance at this time. .

UMRolla has three buildings included high on the priority list of proposed construction projects at state institutions of higher education. There is a possibility that one or more of these buildings will be approved for construction within the next fhlC: years. .

The governor, in his budget message to the special session, called for authorization legislati on for the Mineral Engineering Building.

A description of the buildings and proposed uses follows.

A Look to The Future ...

to read newspapers or watch TV ," says Dr. John Rockaway, geological engineer' ing chairman. "At least one of the lead stories every day will concern energy."

Dr. Delbert Day, UMR Curators' Professor of Ceramic Engineering, adds, 'The engineering fields we are talking about are really the 'jugular' of the nation's economy. All are involved in the discovery, production or use of materials from which most products in our economy are made. Right now we are concerned with the shortage of energy-especially petroleum-but mineral engineering disciplines are also in the area where the next shortage will bematerials. The U.S. is critically dependent on foreign sources for at least 12 metals and other minerals of strategic importance. Graduates in mineral engineering fields not only are trained to find and develop deposits of these minerals, but also to find substitutes should international events cause us to lose the sources we now use."

Having all of the related fields of mineral engiheerng and earth sciences under one roof will be a "homecoming" for the now·scattered departments.

"We offer the broadest spectrum of mineral engineering disciplines in the country , and integrating the facilities will make it possible for them to share classrooms and laboratories. This not only will bring about more efficient use of space but also increased scholarly interaction between students and faculty in related fields," Dean Wa:rner said.

"Just beng with other people with the same general interests will be beneficial," agrees Dr. A. C. Spreng, geology, whose office is now on the third floor of Norwood Hall. He cites lack of elevators to carry heavy rocks and equipment and lack of storage space as two problems that will be remedied.

Other faculty members say they are looking forward to having up·to·date equipment. For example, the metallurgical faculty anticipates having a laboratory to teach powder metallurgy, and petroleum engineering will have a drilling simulation lab.

In some cases it will be a matter of having laboratories that are the size and shape for the equipment and the work that is being done.

"Some lab facilities create special environments, and others must have special environments to operate-and these aren't always compatible," says Assistant Dean of the School, R. V. Wolf, who has been involved in planning the building. "For example, the ventilation lab produces vibrations and the metal· casting lab produces dust. But the microscopy labs must be completely free of vibration and dust. In the new building, these will be separated and built for the needs of each. Others demand ~pecial features such as extra· high ceilings for the coal and mineral preparation labs. On the basis of all of these requirements, we are trying to create the best working atmosphere for all. " The mineral engineering building will be located at the northwest corner of the campus on the site bounded by Hwy. 63 N. on the west and nor th. Facing west, with an entrance on the corner of Bishop (Highway 63) and 14th, it will be a four·story structure, with earth berming on its north, west and east sides.

Preliminary plans for the building have been completed by Black & Veatch, engineers-architects, Kansas City.

It's a building not only for the present. "It will ensUre the co',l,nuation and enhancement of the quality programs of the School of Mines and Metalluf!i- I for the foreseeable future," Dean Warner adds.

Engineering Management Building In addition to providing much-needed classroom space and laboratory facilities, the proposed Engineering Management Building at the University of MissouriRolla also would be a valuable resource for business and industry in Missouri, according to Bernard R. Sarchet, who is the Robert B. Koplar professor of engineering management at UMR. The building would include a production laboratory, teaching module, conference and seminar rooms, instructional TV room, computer center and office space for the department and the UMR Center for Applied Engineering Management.

It would cost about $2.5 million, and about $2 million of that would be in state funds with the remainder to come from private sources_ "The increased use of advanced technology by American business and industry has created a need for managers with technical or engineering backgrounds," said Dr. Henry H. Sineath, chairman of the UMR engineering management department. "This is precisely the type of individual that our curriculum produces.

"As a result," he continued, "there is a great demand for <;Jur graduates in business and industry. Unfortunately, however, our present facilities were not designed tQ meet our very specialized needs."

The UMR engineering management department is currently housed in Harris Hall along with the UMR music and drama programs, the MSM/UMR Alumni Association and the UMR development program. Constructed in 1940, Harris Hall was intended for use as a hydraulics laboratory_ Consequently, Sineath explained, the department must hold the approximately 50 lectures and labs it offers each semester in various buildings around campus.

In addition, the department's current production laboratory is located ina temporary building, which does not allow for the installation of all of the necessary equipment.

The proposed building, however, has been designed specifically to overcome these deficiencies and provide the department with the facilities and equipment necessary to better meet the educational needs of its students.

According to Sarchet, the building's production laboratory is one of its most important features. "This facility will enable students to study every facet and stage of the production process," he said . "It also will provide them with a working knowledge of the latest manufacturing techniques.

"Because more than 70 percent of our students enter production and production-related positions after graduation," he added, "the production laboratory is particularly important to the department. It will greatly enhance our ability to provide students with the know-how that industry needs."

The laboratory also will include facilities for safety engineering management and ergonomics (the study of the relationhsip between man and machine) courses.

The building's teaching module will feature a semi-circular, tiered seating arrangement (much like a business school c1assroom( for 65 students. "This design will allow for the interchange among students that is so important in the many

case study classes that the departmen t offers,';' Sarchet said.

Associated with the module will be five seminar rooms in which large lecture classes can be broken down into smaller discussion groups. In addition , it will be equipped with audio- visual equipment.

"The module also will be available to other departmen ts on campus that offer courese which would benefit from this type of seating arrangement" Sarchet said. " It also will help us attract more national conferences to campus." . The department would be able to hold nearly all of its classes in the new building.

The instructional TV room would allow the department to make special videotapes for credit courses and continuing education short courses, while the computer center would enable students to get experience with the latest methods of business analysis and control.

The UMR Center for Applied Engineering Management , which will have offices and meeting facilities in the building, was established in 1978 to help attract new businesses and industry into the state and to assist those already here in making their operations more efficient and productive. The center also offers a seminar program and works closely with the Small Business Administration, the Economic Development Agency and the state's extension services.

"This past year, the center was contacted by about 1,000 businesses from John Amos, UM"R professor of engineering throughout Missouri," said management and center director," and we prepared ' in-depth programs for about 150 of them.

"The new building would increase our visibility and our accessibility ," he added . "This, together with improved facilities, should increase our contacts by about 35 percent and cut down on our travel costs and time requirements by enabling us to hold many programs on campus that we can not at present."

The department's students also will benefit from the center's increased visibility and accessibility. "We have the philosophy that all of our activities should be an educational experience-for our students and faculty as well as our clients," Amos said. "Consequently , our students, as part of their c1asswork, assist with many of the projects that the center becomes involved in. These new facilities should provide them with increased opportunities to gain 'hands-on' experience."

The UMR engineering management department was established in 1967 and has granted about 1,900 B.S. and M.S. degrees. A Ph.D. program was established in the fall of 1981 .

"The performance of our graduates and the accomplishments of our faculty have made the department a leader among the 100 or so similar programs that have been established nationwide since 1967," Sarchet said. "The new building would enable the department to maintain this position of leadership and better serve the needs of business and industry throughout the state."

Preliminary plans for the building were prepared by Hastings & Chivetta, Inc., of St. Louis. It would be located in the intersection of State and 14th Streets.

If state appropriations are made available, construction could begin early next year, Sarchet said.

Dr.

Alumni-Music-Auditorium Building" The proposed Auditorium-Music-Alumni Building at the University of Missouri-Rolla would- be a boon to UMR's music and drama programs, as well as a valuable cultural resource for both the campus and the community , according to Dr. David L. Oakley , UMR professor of music.

The building would contain classroom, office and practice and rehearsal space for UMR music and a 650-seat auditorium-performing arts theater. In addition , it would include office and meeting facilit.ies for the MSM/UMR Alumni Association.

The building would cost about $5.5 milfion, and about $3.8 million of that would be in state funds with the remainder to come from private sources.

"About 600 students participate in UMR's music program each semester," Oakley said. "That figure represents just about 10 percent of our total enrollment (6,931 for the 1982 spring semester).

"A large number of these students were first chair in high school and they see their continued involvement with music and the arts as a valuable part of their education," he continued. "Consequently, the number of students pursuing a minor in music at UMR has increased in the last few years."

The facilities currently available to music students at UMR, however, are located in buildings (Harris Hall and the Old Cafeteria Building) that were not intended for the teaching or playing of music. "The facilities in the new bulding would be designed specifically for our purposes and would provide us with permanent and suitable facilities for teaching and performing," Oakley said.

When constructed, the bulding would provide UMR's music program with an . orchestra rehearsal room; a vocal music rehearsal room; 14 individual practice studios; a piano room; storage facilties for instruments, costumes and uniforms; and a music library. There also would be 6ffice space for faculty, staff and students.

The UMR music program currently is involved in the presentation of about 40 programs a semester. These include performances by student groups and the Campus Performing Arts Series, which features performances by professional groups such as the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra, the Texas Opera Company and the Missouri Repertory Theatre.

"We have expanded the Campus Performing Arts Series for 1982-83, just as we increased our offerings last year," Oakley said. "This is because the subsidized support for our arts program from various off-campus sources has continued to . increase. If fact , we do not anticipate any reduction in this support in the future."

All of these programs, which are open to the public eigher at no admission charge or very modest ones, would be presented in the Auditorium-MusicAlumni Building. In addition, the building would be used for the musical and dramatic programs that are sponsored by the UMR Student Union Board, the UMR Film Series, summer repertory theater and various community concerts and events such as district music and speech festivals, There also would be a

secure exhibit area in the building which would permit the showing of artistic exhibits.

"At present, UMR leases Cedar Street Center but lacks permanent and adequate facilities to provide the proper ~nvironment for the presentation of these programs," Oakley said. "We are the only one of the four University of Missouri campuses to be without such facilities."

The 650-seat auditorium-performing arts theater would feature a stage large enough for the St. Louis Symphony or the Texas Opera Theater. The stage also could be adapted for concerts by smaller groups, as well as for dance programs, dramati~ presentations and other events. There also would be a green room, make-up facilities, dressing rooms, an area for stage .support services, an orchestra pit, loading dock and concession areas, Planning for the building has been a long-range project. "We began keeping records of performances in 1965," Oakley said. "We also have done some marketing research and studied the facilities at comparable academic institutions such as Michigan Tech, Lehigh and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

"A campus committee solicited written input from alumni, students, faculty and staff in the form of a survey," he continued. "In addition, an open meeting was held in which all members of the UMR and Rolla communities were invited to present their opinions a,nd comments about what the buildings should offer."

All of this data, along with specific recommendations from the music faculty, were presented to the architect for the project early in the planning process.

"Our aim in this was to ensure that we would build the proper facility for our program," Oakley said. "We didn't want to end up with something too big, and neither did we want something that would be inadequate."

The architect selected for the building, which will 'be located across the street from the Walter T. Schrenk Chemistry-Chemical Engineering Building, was Mantel &Teter of Kansas City, Mo. "We were fortunate in that Mantel & Teter worked with UMR on the design of the new portion of Schrenk Hall," Oakley said. "The firm also was involved with a similar project (performing arts theater) for Central Missouri State University," The alumni portion of the building will contain office space, meeting rooms, storage area for alumni records, a mail room, a lobby large enough to accommodate 500 persons for a stand-up affair and kitchen facilities sufficient to handle a gathering of this size.

'The new building will mean that we would be able to hold Homecoming receptions and other events on campus instead of holding them off campus as we presently do," said Frank Mackaman, director of alumni/development at UMR and executive vice president of the MSMlUMR Alumni Association, "As a result, the new building would not only enable us to fully meet the needs of our alumni, but it would also provide the alumni with a facility in which they could take pride and which would reflect their accomplishments.'.'

Miner defenders up·ended a Southeast Missouri runner during gridiron action last season. UMR opens the 1982 season at Wichita State University Sept. 4.

Healthy Grid Mi,ners May Spell Winner for ·UMR Although the University of Missouri Rolla football team narrowly missed cap- ' turing its second straight MIAA title last season, head coach Charlie Finley literall y had to patch a lineup together at times. " It was an injury·filled season, and 1 think finishing second in the conference is a real tribute to the job the kids did," F inley said. "Many young players were thrown into starting roles and forced to play out of position , but this experience should payoff for us down the road ."

That time has arrived, and a tough schedule awaits the Miners in 1982.

Finley starts his II th season as Miner head coach, boasting a 54-44·9 record.

He graduated from Southwest Missouri State University in 1960, where he was a star member of the Bears' football team. He is now a member of the Southwest Missouri Hall of Fame.

Finley joined the Miners as an assis· . tant coach in 1965 after coaching successful high school teams at Sarcoxie and Lebanon.

With 21 seniors and 12 juniors returning from last season's 6-3-1 club, the 1982 Miners face what could be their toughest opposition in many years.

The action gets under way Sept. 4, when UMR travels to Wichita, Kan., to battle Division I opponent Wichita State in the 30,000 seat Cessna Stadium.

After that come battles wi :h perennially tough Missouri Valley_ NAIA Division I runner-up Pittsburg State and new opponent Culver-Stockton. And then the competition really begin :, to

heat up with the MIAA schedule and a rematch with the University of Evansville. " It will be a real tough schedule, no doubt about that," Finley mused. "We hope that this caliber of competition will give our players something to work for and allow them to match themselves against some of the best in the Midwest. "

returnees."

Dennis Pirkle will again guide the team from the quarterback slot, with fellow senior Don Kasperski ready to step in. Their main targets will be receivers Dave Stephens, Scott Stephens and Kurt Lorenzen.

The devastated offensive line of a season ago should get a huge lift from

Although Finley feels UMR has depth at many positions, the offensive backfield has been hit hardest by graduation.

"Brian Paris, David Fischer and Oscar Berryman are gone from last year's unit, so that is an area that will have to be looked at closely," he said.

"Talent still remains, however, with Randy Shed and Jon Falke the top two

the return of All-Conference tackle Kevin Griesemer.

Out all of last season with a neck injury, Griesemer and senior center Jim Lloyd will give the Miners leadership up front.

On defense, Finley has reason to smile. Only All-Conference defensive end Paul Suellentrop graduated, leaving the Miners with virtually every defen-

sive starter returning.

Leading the charge will be AIIConference defensive tackle Bob Pressly . An All-American candidate, Pressly already has gained some attention from pro scouts. "He is a great one," Finley said. "He is so quick for s6m~~e his ' size."

Other top returnees on defense will be defensive backs Craig Thomas, Randy Hauser, Steve Davis, Brian Bradley and Scott Teter; linebacker Todd Fizer and Steve Davis; defensive end Paul Demzik; noseguards Doug Keithly and Cleo Downs; and tackles Jeff Murphy, Ed ~tuckey and Gregg Wilhelm.

What will make this group a team to be reconed with in the MIAA? "The key will be for us to stay healthy and keep people in position this season," Finley said. "That certainly is something we were unable to do last year."

The highly touted Miner defense will .get perhaps its toughest test in the season's first game, as Wichita State's quarterback may be the best performer the squad faces this year.

"He is one of the best we have ever faced," Finley said of Shocker signalcaller Prince Mcjunkins. "He is a very good runner and really .makes their offense go."

This game will indeed be tough, but Finley downplays the opener as "tough indeed-but we figure there are never any easy games."

And Miner opponents also may find out in 1982 there will be few easy games when the UMR Silver and Gold takes the field.

Miners Take Third In National Mining Co..,test

Recent UMRolla graduates Wayne Huebner, right, Bellville, Ill. and Dean Anderson , Rolla, have been awarded three-year fellowships by the Office of Naval ' Research . The fellow ships a re awarded to support graduate study leading to a Ph.D. in the area of electronics ceramics. Forty-one of the fellowships were awarded nationwide, according to Dr. Robert Moore, UMR chairman of ceramic engineering.

A team of mining engineering students from UMR finished third in total points at the fourth International Collegiate Mining Contest held recently at the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology.

The team of five students and an alternate competed in ' such events as single jack drilling (hand drilling); bow sawing; hand mucking (shoveling rock by hand into an ore car); jackleg drilling (drilling with a pneumatic drill supported by a compressed air cylinder) ; and track standing (layin-g narrow-gauge railroad track).

The team took first place in one event, the single-jack drilling, but with 37Y2 points, was behind the Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology (41) and Colorado School of Mines (39) in total points.

This is the third year that the UMR team has entered the contest which attracted a total of 22 teams from this country and Canada.

Members of UMR's team were: Joseph Brinkmann, St. Louis, captain ; Phil Ott, Hillsboro, Ill.; Dennis Meyer, Hillsboro, Il\.: Brian Bleakney, Ellwood City, Pa .. and Peter Leussbury, Carlinville, Ill.

As the daughter of an Air Force officer, Bonnie Daily attended several grade and high schools throughout the United States.

But she says the highlight came when she was a senior in the Manly Girls High School in Sydney, Australia, as an exchange student with the American Field Service program.

Bonnie, the daughter of Col. (U.S. Air Force, retired) and Mrs. Madison Daily of Rolla is now a sophomore majoring in petroleum engineering.

During her year in Australia, Bonnie lived with an Australian family, the Piersons, and traveled with them to several parts of the continent. "I love Sydney. We lived 10 minutes away from the beach, in a city with no smog," says Bonnie, adding that she also "loved the accent of the Australians_" She perceives the Australians as "family oriented and very relaxed and casual."

While in Australia, she worked for two weeks as an intern in the State of New South Wales' supreme court. She assisted a barrister (lawyer) and became acquainted with the Australian legal system.

Bonnie is the latest member of her family to attend UMR. Sisters Karen and Kristy graduated in 1977 and 1980 with degrees in history and geological engineering, respectively, and brother Mac graduated in 1981 with a degree in . mechanical engineering. Her father headed the Air Force ROTC program at UMR from 1971 to 1974 and is now completing work on his Ph.D. degree in engineering management at UMR, while her mother is working on her economics degree.

On her way back from Australia, Bonnie stopped in New Zealand and Tahiti and hopes some day to travel to Asia and to live again in Australia. For now , though, she is happy to be back in Rolla pursuing her education.

Rolla Building Repairs Approved The UM Board of Curators has approved plans for repairs to the Rolla Building, the oldest building on the UMR campus, and authorized the assistant vice president for business services to advertise for bids.

Work to be done includes cleaning, caulking and tuck-pointing of masonry, replacement of windows and doors and interior repairs. The total cost will be $140,632 to be paid from state and campus funds earmarked for preservation.

Plans and specifications were prepared by Wedemeyer, Cernick and Corrubia Inc. of St. Louis.

Joseph D. Wollard, UMR executive director of administrative services, said . that this is the second phase in the renovation of the Rolla Building. Work done under previous contracts has included interior remodeling, replacement of the roof and repair of exterior trim and fascia.

"This is part of an ongoing renovation program to preserve and upgrade older campus structures so that they are more fully usable and energy efficient," Wollard said. "For example, the window replacements in the Rolla Building will be double-glazed and weather stripped, to reduce energy loss from the building.

Similar windows are being installed all over campus as buildings are repaired, and are already in use in Schrenk Hall, Parker Hall and the Buehler Building."

The four-story Rolla Building was erected in 1871 as the Rolla Public School Building and the top two floors were rented to the newly established University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy. In 1875, the Board of Curators purchased the building for

New Gulf Oil Professorship The Gulf Oil Foundation has established the Gulf Oil Foundation Professorship in the School of Mines and Metallurgy at UMRolla.

The professorship, the first named academic position in UMR's School of Mines and Metallurgy , will be used in geological engineering, mining engineering, petroleum engineering or geology and geophysics. The name of the first recipient will be announced next year, according to Dr. Don L. Warner, dean of the School of Mines and Metallurgy.

The endowment will provide a supplement to the regular salary of the professor, as well as financial support for supplies, research equipment, travel, assistantships and other miscellaneous needs.

The Gulf Oil Foundation recently presented UMRolla with a check for $25 ,000 to establish the endowment for the professorship. These funds represent the first of four annual installments in a planned $100,000 financial commit ment by the foundation for the professorship.

Professor Howell received the award for his significant contributions to ASHRAE, the St. Louis Chapter, and to his community. Dr. Howell has been a member of ASHRAE since 1969 and has served on and chaired many of the society's committees, both locally and nationally. His participation in civic and church affairs was cited as being equally as impressive as his technical achievements and weighed heavily in his selection for the award.

Frank Alvarado sends us the following report of his career: "My professional life with the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, now Federal Highway Administration, started in March, 1958, when I was assigned to work on the Inter-American Highway in San Jose, Costa Rica. That same year, in November, I married a Costa Rican girl, and we were there for almost three years.

Since that time, we have had two sons and have lived in Managua, Nicaragua; Bogota, Colombia; and Panama City as well as another term in Costa Rica. This August we will return to Costa Rica.

Oddly enough more than 24 years have elapsed since I first accepted a job in .

Costa Rica, mostly due to curiosity, and thinking that I would only be down in Latin America for two years. Counting my army time, I lack less than four years to retirement and it looks like I will reach the end where I found the beginning, but with more white hair, more weight and more wrinkles to count."
