Ce nte r for Tec hn olo gic al De vel op me nt A new Center for Technological Development has been established at the University of Missouri-Rolla with Dr. Donald D. Myers, '61, '64, assistan t professor of engineering management, as its director. Announ cement of the new center was mad!! July 25 in Jefferson City by Missouri Governo r Christop her S. Bond.

The Center for Technological Development was created to recruit technical entrepre neurs interested in starting businesses in Missouri, Bond explaine d. It will provide a central location for sharing information, equipment and ideas .

Entrepr eneurs can get help from the center in commercializing their ideas, seeking grants and acquiring necessary business licenses.

Partial funding for the new project comes from a $52,000 contrac t with the Missouri Division of Manpow er Plannin g and a $25,000 grant from the Missouri Commu nity Development Block Grant program awarded to the city of Rolla .

Alumni Ed.u cational Assistants Program Officers and directors attending the MSM/UMR Alumni Association spring board meeting invited students receiving financial assistance through the Alumni Educational Assistants program to lunch with them . Seven of the 19 students on the program were able to attend the. event. They were introduced to the group, received a certificate and briefly explained their projects. Through the program, a faculty member or administrative staff member submits a proposal outlining a specific project and nominating a student who will work on the project. The student is paid an hOllrly wage based on skill and experience. A faculty committee selects the proposals to be funded . During the 1982 year, alumni support for the program amounted to $11,500.

The following are short descriptions of the projects of the students attending the luncheon : Stephanie Cioffi •.•senior in mechanical engineering, worked under the direction of Frank Mackaman in the alumni office on such projects as membership records, alumni and development events and Alumnus personals.

Emeritus Titles Awarded

Malcolm Cole After 30 years on the UM-Rolla faculty, Professor Malcolm B. Cole was awarded the title of emeritus professor of physics at the May commencement exercises.

"Mac," as he is known to friends and colleagues, left con~iderably more than hi~ teaching duties in the physics department.

"One of the things I'm giving up this year," he said, "is direction of the annual South Central Missouri District Science and Engineering' Fair: It's been held on the UM-Rolla campus for the past 27 years and I've had the responsibility of putting it together each year since 1967. We have had as many as 150 projects exhibited by the high school students and often there have been a number' of sophisticated projects developed by these young people."

Cole's primary responsibility in the physics department for many years has been teaching the first semester. courses in elementary physics. '''Mac' really knows his subject," says colleague Dr. Robert Bell, UMR physics professor, who also teaches a section of the same course from time to time. "In fact , he developed a table used in teaching the thermodynamics section of the course that is the best teaching tool on the subject that I've found . He's given me permission to use it, too, and I find it invaluable."

Cole has also served as adviser to several student organizations throughout the years. He was an adviser for one of the residence halls, and for a long time, he has served as an adviser for the UMR chapter of the Society of Physics Students and a subgroup of that organization, the Astronomy Club . He has also advised the Sports Car ClUb.

His most lengthy advising stint, which he has now relinquished, grew from his love of the game of bridge. Shortly after coming to Rolla, he joined a group called the MSM Faculty Men's Duplicate Bridge Club. It met biweekly in the basement of the Old Met Building.

"It wasn't long before women joined that group." he said. "Then the students became members. I became the group's adviser in 1960 and continued to serve in that capacity until this past year."

Cole was born in Wisconsin where his father was on the faculty at the University of Wisconsin in Madison. He received his B.A . degree in physics from that institution in 1938 and continued as a graduate student until joining the U.S. Navy in 1944.

During his navy career, he attended radar school at Harvard and M.I.T. , taught radar in Hawaii, then served as radar maintenance officer of the U .S.S. Fanshaw Bay until his discharge in 1946.

He returned to the University of Wisconsin and received his M.A. degree in 1948. He spent a year at Knox College as an instructor in physics and two y!!ars at Minnesota State College in Mankato in the same position before returning to the Madison campus for more graduate work.

During the summer of 1953 he met Ludmilla Braxmeier (Millie), a medical technologist who was doing graduate work during the summer. After .Cole's first year at the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy , they were married, and Millie continued her work in Rolla. She is now supervisor of the Phelps County Regional Medical Center laboratory.

Robert Nau Robert H. Nau, professor of electrical engineering. says that teaching has been the most important part of his career, which has incl uded ind ustria l experience, mil itary service, and resea rch.

Na u will become professor emeritus effective Sept. I. a nd onT he vete ra n professor has been o n the UMR fac ul ty for 26 yea rs ly recentl y missed his first da y of class. He has been officia ll y off work since early March when he had surgery fo r five coronary artery bypass grafts, but as. soon as he could , he returned to his offi ce fo r at least part of every da y.

Nau joined the UMR fac ult y in 1957. He had previously worked for Westinghouse Electric Co. (where he developed circuit breakers that are still being marketed by Westinghouse and received fi ve patents on that equipment) and for Allis-Chalmers. He also had taught at the University of Santa Clara, Calif. ; Ohio Northern University; and the Universit y of llIinois. During World War II, Nau served with the U.S. Army Signal Corps in the China-Burma-India Theater.

Nau Continued He remained in the Army Reserve, retiring as a Colonel in 1973 after 33 years.

It has been a busy 26 years at UMR for the professor. In addition to his teaching responsibilities (which he says he lives 24 hours a day) , he has written fi.ve textbooks and numerous technical papers, and has served as an undergraduate student adviser and chairman of the scholarship committee for the electrical engineering department, adviser to the UMR Radio Club, and adviser and coach of the UMR Trap and Skeet Club. He also has been a consultant for a number of industries.

Professor Nau descirbes himself as being "student-oriented," and delights in the students' nickname for him, "Papa" Nl/-u.

"It came from my habit of telling my students that if they had any trouble, they should come by and talk it over with 'Papa Nau,'" he said. Many students have taken him up on the offer, for both academic and personal problems.

His students .have responded to his dedication by voting him ¡an outstanding teachers award, life membership in the RadiO Club, and this year, selecting him

as an honorary faculty member of the Blue Key. Nau's hobbies, when he has time, include throwing the boomerang, gardening, birdwatching and trap and skeet shooting (he's a Hall of Fame trapshooting instructor and has won numerous awards). In addition, he has built stage equipment for benefit marionette shows presented by his wife, Betsy, a former professional in that field .

All three of the Nau children are UMR graduates. His son , Dr. Dana Nau, assistant professor of computer science at the University of Maryland, received his B.S. in computer science here. His daughter, Diane, who is working on her doctorate in Middle Eastern languages at the University of Utah, received a B.A. in English; imd another daughter, Alice, who received her B.S. degree in geology here last spring, is now working on her M.S. at the University of Oklahoma.

A total of more than 35 years in the classroom hasn't dimmed "Papa" Nau's enthusiasm for teaching. "I love it," he said. He will be teaching some courses during the summer session and will teach "whenever the department needs me,"

William James After 30 years on the facu lt y at UM-Rolla, Dr. William J. James was awarded the title of emeritus professor of chemistry at UMR's II Oth annual commencement.

James plans to .remain "as busy as ever" and looks forward to having more time to dev0te to several projects and activities. Following a month and a half vacationing in Maine, he will embark on a series of travels that will take him from China to France.

"I've been invited to lecture on rare earth intermetallic compounds at the Universities of Peking, Nanking and Lanzou," he says. ''I'll probably spend the month of September in China and then travel to Washington, D.C., for an October symposium on electro-chemicals."

His stay in Washington will be followed by a trip to France that has special significance for him. "I had a graduate student from French Senegal several years ago," he explains, "and I'll be going to France to sit on his Ph.D. committec at the University of Grenoble.

"He is a fine st udent," he adds, "and I'm looking forward to serving on his committee. It's a great honor because Americans don't often sit on these committees."

James also will have more time to spend on his company, a Rolla firm that manufactures electron ic chemicals. "The company has been growing quite rapidly," he says, "and it needs more attention than I've been able to give it lately."

Although these other pursuits will take up more of his time, James doens't plan to become a stranger to campus. "I'll be devoting about half of my time to UMR ," he says. ''I'll be supervising several graduate students, writing proposals, doing research and perhaps teaching a class or two."

Teach ing is something that James just can't seem to get out of his system. "( began teaching when I was 18 as an instructor in mUlti-engine flight mechanics in the Army Air Corps," he says. "After finishing flight school, I began teaching again, and this time the subject was celestial navigation.

After he got but of the service, he attended Tufts College and was awarded a B.S. in 1949. He also received M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Iowa State University in 1952 and 1953, resepctively. He joined the UM-Rolla faculty as an assistant professor of chemistry in 1953 and was named director of the UM -Rolla Graduate Center for Materials Research in 1964.

He also has been a Fu lbright Research Professor at the Fourier' Institute and the Center for Nuclear Studies at the University of Grenoble.

Emeritus Tittes Awarded Continued

Ernest M. Spokes Dr. Ernest M. Spokes, who was awarded the title of emeritus professor of mining engineering May 15, can look back- on two decades of growth at UMR. "Since ( joined the UMR faculty in 1963," Spokes says, "there has been a significant increase in the number of mining engineering students on campus.

During my first year here, there were about 50 mining students in the department. Our peak enrollment during the last 20 years has been about 210 and we currently have 137 students enrolled."

Spokes also has seen the campus grow in other areas. "There are many more women and minority students at UMR that when I first came here." he says.

"There also has been an even greater recognition of the campus nationwide."

For him , students provide the excitement of teaching. "( enjoy watching the students grow in their professional knowledge," he says. "It's also rewarding to watch them go out into the world and succeed, and I think a great deal of that success can be traced to the type of education they get here at UMR." Spokes and his wife, June, are looking forward to having the time to do some traveling. "\ guess you could say that traveling has become my chief hobby," he says. ''I'd like to see Wales and more of England and Scotland, and I'd also like to visit the Holy Land, Egypt, and the Greek Islands. I'm very interested in history from prehistoric' to modern times."

Spokes also pl~. ns to visit the campus frequently. "( want to keep in touch with old friends," he says. ''I'm also interested in seeing how the Mineral Engineering Building develops. It will be a real plus to the program when it's completed ."

Spokes joined the UMR faculty as professor and chairman of the department of mining and petroleum engineering. He served in this capacity until 1969 when he went to Saigon, South Vietnam, as chief of party and professor under the UMR-USAID contract. He returned to campus in 1971 as professor and head of mining engineering.

Prior to coming to UMR, Spokes served as a mining engineer with Bethlehem Steel Corporation, as general engineer and assistant plant superintendent with the National Lead Company, and as a member of the mining engineering faculty at the Universi ty of Kentucky.

Spokes holds a B.S. degree from Lafayette College, and M.S. from the University of Kentucky and a Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State UniverSity. He also was awarded the professional degree, engineer of mines, by Lafayette.

He is a member of and has held numerous offices in the American Institute of Mining, Metallurgical and Petroleum Engineers, the Society of Mining Engineers of AIME, and the Coal Division of SME. In 1980 he was appointed chairman of the Committee on Underground Coal Mine Safety of the National Research Council's Commission on Sociotechnical Systems.

Frank Gerig Dr. Frank Gerig Jr., professor of civil engineering, received the professor emeritus title at commencement exercises May IS, but he didn't stay out of the classroom long_ He and his wife, Martha, spent part of their first few months of retirement attending three elderhostels in different parts of the country_ Their main courses of study were on home computers, which Gerig expects will play an important roll in his future. The professor is a long-time advocate of the use of computers, and he doesn't expect that to end with retirement. ''I'm looking forward to my third career," Gerig explains. "I'm not yet sure what it will be .. I've been too busy to think much about it so far ."

Retirement from UMR ends the second career for Gerig. When he joined the UMR faculty in 1961, he had just retired from the U.S. Army as a lieutenant colonel. A graduate of the U.S_ Military Academy at West Point, he had served in Australia, New Guinea, Japan, Korea (where he received a Bronze Star) and Europe, as well as in many places in this country.

Although he had offers from several other universities, Gerig chose to begin his second career at UMR for one main reason: the quality of its graduates. "All over the world I had run into graduates of this University," he said. 'They were all topnotch , really outstanding."

Gerig has received his M.S. in civil engineering ~t California Institute of Technology in 1948. With a total of 21 months study at Texas A&M over a three year period, he e(irned his Ph.D.there in August 1967.

In 1969, he was responsible for the founding of the UMR Transportation Instit ute and was its director until 1977. He also has been area head of transportation engineering as well as area head of construction engineering in the civil engineering department.

Projects at the Transportation Institute have encompassed a wide range of subjects, including highways, highway interchanges, school buses, air travel. airports, traffic control, driver-vehicle guidance systems, and the older adults transportation service, which is still in operation.

Gerig says that his -first interest has been in teaching and working with the students. In return, students twice have voted him outstanding teaching.awards.

He estimates that he has taught about 3,000 students during his years here, .including about 90 graduate students in construction engineering. He said, "I know that what I'll miss most in retirement is the association with the students."

Mrs. Gerig and their son, Frank, are both UMR alumni, and Mrs. Gerig is secretary of the MSM/UMR Alumni Association.

The Gerigs expect to do some traveling during their retirement , especially to warmer climates during the cold winter months. "But," Gerig adds, "we'll always co",- back to Rolla."

Charles Hatfield Dr. Charles Hatfield, who was awarded the title of emeritus professor of mathematics on May 15, looks forward to having the time to "hit the books" again_ "I have a list of about 100 books that I would like to read now that I'll have the time," says Hatfield, who has been a member of the UM-Rolla faculty for 1'9 years. "The list includes novels, histories, biographies and works on philosophy and theology. I'm interested in all of these areas. I'd also like to do some writing on mathematical and non-mathematical subjects."

As he was growing up, there was little doubt that Hatfield would pursue a . career in teaching. "My father was a professor of mathematics and that influenced me," he says. Teaching was also the closest match to my perceived abilities."

He hasn't been disappointed with his choice of careers. "My years in teaching and the time I've spent at UMR have been very rewarding and enjoyable," he says. "As I look back, I'm reminded of the thought that happy is the man who does not know the difference between work and play. I like to think of myself as such a man."

He was drawn to the study of mathematics, he explains, because of rhe "elegance" of much of it.

"In theoretical, or what many persons refer to a 'pure' mathematics, there is a nice snug fit between reality and theory," he continues, "and I find this very appealing."

Out of his feelings for mathematics has growm his longstanding love for mathematical puzzles. "Over the years, I have made, invented and collected about 150 puzzles," he says. "In addition to being fun , I think these puzzles are a valuable teaching tool because they allow students to see and touch a concept rather than just looking at numbers on a blackboard. Consequently , I've always . made use of them in my classes."

There is another facet to Hatfield's campus activities outside the classroom. In 1965 he established the Inter¡Varsity Christian Fellowship chapter at UM¡Rolla.

He has served as faculty adviser to the group since its inception. "This is an interdenominational o(ganization with 800 chapters at colleges and universities across the country ," he says.

Hatfield was awarded a B.A. from Georgetown College of Kentucky in 1940, an M.A. from the University of Kentucky in 1941 and a Ph.D. from' Cornell University in 1944.

He joined the UMR faculty in 1964. Prior to .that he was a member for the faculties of the University of Minnesota and the University of North Dakota.

Dr.

Anton deS. Brasunas, professor of metallurgical engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla and the UMR Graduate Engineering Center in St. Louis, will become a professor emeritus Sept. I. .

Brasunas, however, will scarcely miss a beat in the rhythm of his busy career.

His retirement plans include a stepped-up schedule of consulting work in the areas of metrication, metallurgy and corrosion engineering; continued activity in the U.S. Metric Association, the American Society for Metals, and the National Associaiton of Corrosion Engineering; some classroom teaching; and travel.

Brasunas has lived inSt. Louis since joining the UMR faculty in 1964. He came to UMR as professor of metallurgical engineering, associate dean of the School of Engineering, and director of the UMR Graduate Engineering Center in St. Louis.

In 1979, Brasunas left his administrative duties for teaching and conducted metallurgical engineering classes in St. Louis and on the Rolla campus. And, even though on emeritus status, he will continue to teach one class on physical metallurgy or corrosion of metals next year.

He will also continue to encourage the use of the metric system by both industries and individuals. "National conversion to the metric system will take a great deal of effort," he said. "It's not something that happens overnight, but we are making progress by the millimeter. People are seeing more metric units in daily life. Many banks and news media weathermen use Celsius figures in addition to the traditional Fahrenheit, liter measurements are being used on liquid containers, and kilometers are appearing on more dashboards and road signs.

The City of Cll\yton, for instance, now has some speed limit signs using 'kilometer-per-hour.'"

Brasunas was born and grew up in Elizabeth , N.J. , where his father was employed with the Diehl Manufacturing Co. foundry. It may have been the 'foundry association that turned the young Brasunas in the direction of metallurgical engineering after he had earned a B.S. degree in chemical engineer' ing at Antioch College in Ohio. Both his master's degree, earned at The Ohio State University, and his doctor of science degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were 'in the field of metallurgical engineering.

Before joining the faculty at UMR, Brasunas had worked at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and taught metallurgy at the University of Tennessee. He was also educational director for the American Society for Metals for nine years and was the first director of its metals engineering institute.

Brasunas and his wife, Ellen, will continue to live in Clayton. She is a psychotherapist and , with a partner, has recently opened the Creve Coeur Counseling Center.

Jobs Activity in the job market--for engineers with experience--is up significantly, reports Paul Ponder, assistant director of career development at UMR. "It looks like the situation is improving," he says.

"Req uests for engineers with experience now average about two per day, and cover a variety of different engineering and geograph ical areas.

The one area that remains slow is the field of petroleum engineering," he adds.

The UMR Career Development Office provides placement assistance not only for graduating seniors, but also for alumni. An example of this service, Ponder points out, is the case of an alumnus who was graduated during the 1950's.

He hap been working throughout his career for a car parts manufacturer in St. Louis. The company closed this year and he was out of a job. He dropped by the Career Development Office in Rolla on his way to a short vacation with his fa mily at the Lake of the Ozarks.

He registered for the alumni placement service and the office provided him with available listings. After returning to St. Louis, he interview· ed at a company on the list and was hired on the spot.

For those alumni who can'i drop

by UMR, the office provides a biweek ly listing by mail. There is a $5 registration fee (to c?ver list reproduction and postage) for six months. Alumni need to send an up-to-date resume and the registra· tion fee to the Career Development Office. The placement staff will make the resume available to companies looking for people with experience, and will send the alumnus the bi-weekly job listings.

To use the service contact: Paul Po nd er , ass istant director ·· placement, Career Development Office, UMR, Rolla, Mo. 65401 (phone: 314-341-4229).

Men's Soccer Faces Tough Schedule Matches with NCAA Division I opponents and Division II powers dot the 1983 UM-Rolla men's sOCcer schedule, as coach Paul McNally's squad tries to improve on last year's 11 -7-1 record.

The Miners open with a Sept. 3 home game against Division I University of Tulsa, kicking off a 19-9ame regular season schedule. The UM-Rolla kickers enjoy six straight home games at the tail end of the slate, winding up the season Nov . 8 against Southwest Missouri.

In addition to always tough con-

ference opposition, the Miners take on NAIA power Rockhurst College,Division III Washington University and Division II Indiana State UniversityEvansville. . .

"It is a very challenging schedule," said McNally. "University of Missouri St. Louis is always ranked near the top, and the other MIAA programs have improved over the years."

Additional seating has been added to UMR's soccer complex, with ticket prices unchanged from last season.

A season ticket remains $20, with individual game admission $2.50 and junior high and high school students admitted for $1.25. Children 6-12 will be admitted for half-price, with children under six admitted free to all Miner games when accompanied by an adult.

The season ticket is an added bargain, as it admits the individual to all men's and women's games for the 1983 season.

UMR's men's soccer team was ranked as high as fourth in the nation during the 1982 season .

Jerry Moulin New Defensive Line Coach

Chris Nisbet, new Min!!r quarterback

Mike Schafer, MIAA leading rusher

Football Miners Open Season Sept.. 3 Winning is something the University of Missouri·Rolla football team has done quite regularly during the past five seasons.

During this span, Charlie Finley's Miners have produced a 40-12-2 record, won one MIAA title with a perfect 10-0 season in 1980 and finished second three times. The veteran UM-Rolla coach is determined to start the second half of this "wining decade" off right.

"There are 19 players missing from last year's 8-3 team , but I sincerely feel we have a nucleus to form another good squad," Finley said. "Our success *,ill depend on how quickly we mold together as a unit."

Firiley starts his 12th season as Miner head coach, boasting a career record of 62-47-9. He is a gradullte of Southwest Missouri State, where he starred on the Bear football team. The 1960 graduate is now a member of the Southwest Missouri Hall of Fame.

He joined UM-Rolla as an assistant coach in 1965 after successful coaching stops at Sarcoxie and Lebanon high schools.

Action for 1983 begins Sept. 3 at Missouri Western, followed by nonconference games against perrenial power Missouri Valley, NAIA power Pittsburg State, NCAA Division II passing leader University of Evansville, and Evangel College. This, coupled with the always tough MIAA slate, gives Finley's team another solid schedule this fall.

"We lost some good people, but I feel

we are bigger and stronger than a Miner team has been in many years," Finley said. "Hopefully, some of the players who graduated instilled the winning tradition and pride into some of the younger players we will count on this season."

Hardest hit by graduation was the UM-Rolla defensive backfield. Starters Craig Thomas, all·conference selection Randy Hauser, and Steve C. Davis are gone. Returning will be Scott Teter and Brian Bradley, who shared some starting duty last year, 'along with lettermen Dan Carmody, Rob Laird and Bill Bohnhoff.

Finley is also counting on Matt Pitsch, added from the junior college ranks, to lend a hand.

The linebacking unit is solid, losing only all·conference senior Todd Fizer.

Returnees Stev.e K. Davis, Glenn Wilhelm, Ben Lewis, Jeff Krack and Tim Schamel all enjoyed solid seasons in 1982.

The defensive line will miss allconference selections Bob Pressly and Paul Demzik, but boasts many returning players. Twins Rickie and Randy Caruthers are ready for action at defensive end spots, while lettermen John Frerking and George Stock fill out the rest of the line. .

On offense, Chris Nisbet gets the call at replacing four-year starter Dennis Pirkle at quarterback. Nisbet sat out last season with a hamstring injury. He has lettered previously at both quarterback and defenm.: back and is 3-0 in quarterback starting assignments.

His backfield will feature some of the top runners in the MIAA, paced by conference rushing and scoring leader Mike Schafer. The Chaminade High School product enjoyed a remarkable sophomore season, pacing the league with a 55.5 yards·per-game average and scoring eight touchdowns in eight games. Joining him will be halfback Randy Shed, who led the Miners in total yards rushing with 505.

Behind these two will be a trio of sophomores who have shown flashes of stardom, Keenan Curry, Tom Kroner and Mike Meyer give UM·Rolla the potential of having one of the most potent running attacks in the MIAA. The receiving unit lost all-conference selection Dave Stephens but returns lettermen Scott Stephens and Mel Parham.

The offensive lines returns Doug Ely, Jim Gillam, Jeff Heger, Jerrry Hirlinger, Jeff Murphy and Russ Pogue. Allconference selection Kevin Griesemer has graduated, along with starting center Jim Lioyd.

If the 1983 Miners have one question mark, it is the kicking game. Both Bruce Baughman (punting) and Thomas (place-kicking) must be replaced.

How does Finley see the MIAA race?

"Northeast has to be the favorite, returning many players from the great team they had a year ago," he said.

"After that point it is hard to predict.

"But if tradition holds true, the Miners wil be in the thick of the race," Finley said. "These players do not like to lose."

Jerry Maulin , head football coach at Mountain Grove High School the past two seasons, has been named an assistant football coach at UMR. Maulin, who replaces Chuck Broyles, will coach the defensive line and serve as Miner baseball coach.

The '39-year-old Maulin led Mountain Grove to an 11 -1 record in 1982. Prior to his two-year stint there, he served as head football and baseball coach at C ul ver- St oc kto n Co llege f rom 1976- 1980.

During that span, the Wildcats improved an 0-8 record in 1976 to a fine 6-4 mark in 1980. Before joining CulverStockton, Maulin coached at Wentsv ille and Cleveland High Schools in St. Louis. ''I'm real happy to be joining UMR ," he said "I have known and respected head coach Charlie Finley for many years. It is a good career move for me, and I'm excited about the opportunity."

Finley said he was impressed with Maulin's credentials.

"He has been successful wherever he has been, and he gives us that combination of football and baseball experience that we were searching for ," he said.

"He knows all phases of both games and will be a welcome additon to our staff."

Broyles leaves behind nine highly successful years as defensive line coach, ' highlighted by the undefeated Miner squad of 1980. That year's defensi ve squad led the NCAA Division II in rushing defense (34.6 yards per game) and was third in the nation in tota l defense (201 .4 yards per game).

"Leaving this' program is one of the toughest decisions I've ever had to make," Broyles said. "There have been so many good times here."

Broyles, who was also baseball coach at UMR. will continue that duty at Miami High School in Oklahoma.

Norwegian Students Come to UMR A program will begin this fall at UM R that will see qualified Norwegia n cQllege freshmen enrolling on campus to stud y elec tri ca l engineering, mec hani ca l engineering, civil engineering or computer science.

The {lrogram is funded by the Norwegian Business Foundation for Education of Engineers Abroad which was established by 14 Norwegian and international companies in . 1981 to stimulate interest in the field of engineering and to help reduce a shortage of engineers in Norway. The foundation already has provided grants to students studying fn Sweden, Great Britian, France, West Germany and Switzerland.

"We will have one Norwegian student participating in the program during the 1983 fall semester," said Ronald Johnston, UMR associate director of admissions. "Several other students are scheduled to enroll in the program during the 1984 spring semester."

Participating in the program this fall will be Geir Sigbjorn Nyhus of Kroderen, Norway, who will study computer science.

"We are very pleased to have a pro- ' gram such as this at UMR and we look forward to working with the foundation ," Johnston said. "The students who

have applied so far appear to be very well-qualified and should be an asse t to , the ca mpus.

Music Alumni Activities

Gary Fischer, '76, seated, poses with the precussion section of the Miner Band.

Gary and -his wife, Nancy Brown Fischer (also a Miner Band Alumna) put new finish and completely refurbished all the band's marching drums last summer. The job involved some 20 instruments. Gary is a chemical engineer with Day and Zimmermann's Army Amunition Plant in Parsons, Kans. He also plays drums regularly with an area "big band," as do several other UMR band alumni in toe area. The Fischers address is 1611 Thornton, Parsons, KS 67357.

UM-Rolla has had an active music program for more than 50 years. Through the years students have found that participation in some form of music activity provides a necessary variation to their regular academic program.

The current music program at UMR is a strong one. There are 14 separate music groups which include: Miner 'Band, three Pep Bands, Combo, Orchestra, Concert Band, three Jazz Bands, Choir, Chamber Choir, Chamber Band, an informal Barbershop Quartet, and the Collegium Musicum which has several _ units of instrumentalists and vocalists.

The UMR chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma are unusually strong, also. Once again this year both UMR chapters have been named among the top ten "outstanding" chapters in the nation··one or the other of the chapters has earned this designation continuously for the pasi 19 years. Both chapters annually conduct music festivals and ·c1inics for district high school and junior high students at UMR in band, vocal and jazz disciplines. This past year Kappa Kappa Psi, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, commissioned a new composition for concert band which will be performed throughout the anniversary year.

Many music alumni continue to be interested in music projects on campus.

Some 700 alumni are known to have been former band members and about 750 to 800 alumni have been identified as members of glee club or choir.

Support from within this alumni group is shown in a number of ways. Some

designate that a portion of their annual gift to the alumni association be credited to music activities and some make a separate gift to specific music programs through the development office. General financial aid for the music program is used mostly for student aid in the form of scholarships or salaries, or for travel expenses for some of the music groups--items not covered by state funds.

Other support by alumni includes donations of old instruments for UMR's growing-collection of antique instruments, gifts to support specific programs such as the Madrigal Dinners or Collegium Musicum , participation in the alumni .

Band at Homecoming or support of Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma, the honorary band fraternity and sorority. Individual alumni also give of their time on some specific projects (see photo on this page about the activities of Gary Fischer). . Any alumna or alumnui interested in participation in some phase. of the music program need only indicate that interest to the Alumni Office. You will receive further information.

Band alumni are encouraged to participate in the Alumni Band at Homecoming. Last year 30 band alumni took part in the' festivities and the goal this year is double that. If you will fill out the form below and send it in, you will receive instrudions. It involves a practice session on Saturday morning and participation in pre-game and halftime activities at the game on Saturday afternoon.

Povver Lines The following is the review of a lecture given in Ireland by Dr. J. Derald Morgan, Emerson Electric Professor of Electrical Engineering and UMR department chairman, at University College Dublin (UCD) in the fall of 1982.

Dr. Morgan went to UCD as part of an exchange program sponsored by Alton Packaging Corp. and Smurfit Industries Inc., Alton, Ill., subsidiaries of Jefferson Smurfit Group Ltd. of Ireland.

While at UCD he delivered six lectur.es, toured tile UCD facilities and met with engineering students on the campus. .

The review was written by Charles O'Rourke, editor of the UCD News and appeared in the December issue of that magazine.

J. Derald Morgan

Do electromagnetic fields near high-voltage overhead transmission lines affect the health of humans living and working in the vicinity of these lines.?

That was the question which professor J. Derald Morgan, Emerson Electric Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla, U.S.A., addressed duro ing his lecture recently in the Faculty of Engineering at Merrion Stteet.

In his introduction, Professor Annraoi de Paro, speaking in parables, explained to a capacity and beinused au· dience of E.S.B., R.T.E., and other engineers and students the detailed workings of the Smurfit·Alton · Ex· change Programme. His catholic in· troduction dwelt on diverse topics such as the student/citizen ratio of Rolla; the pivotal role of the lecturer's birthplace Hays, Kansas in the equilibrium of the United States; and the American Boy Scout movement. When these Power· lines were finished, the guest·lecturer, whose topic was power· lines, exclaimed that he felt like asking Annraoi to con· tinue with his act!

Vehicles Driving large vehicles under power lines was often considered to be dangerous. A charge can accumulate, he admitted, but good design minimised this effect. U.S. power lines were lower. in height than in Ireland. Typically they were between 45·50 feet while in Ireland they were 90·100 feet high. Experiments had been carried out attempting to ignite vehicle fuel in these circumstances.

While these tests showed no positive results, he still did not recommend refuelling under transmission lines to avoid establishing a precedent ...

Linesmen A telling argument was the result of

studies on the life expectancy of linesmen in the U.S.A. He reminded his audience that "we do bare·hand work" - linesmen handling live conductors during service and maintenance opera· tions - and therefore becoming expos· ed to extremely high electric field inten· sity where the minimum field levels are 10·15kv per metre. Despite all this, the morbidity level difference between linesmen and other occupations was not statistically significant.

He allowed that electric fields had some proven effects. Fish sense these fields and it interferes with their ability to detect prey. Bees depend on magnetic fields for orientation while birds migrate on the basis of geo-magnetic cues.

Bacteria is affected, as also are the tips of some plants which can be browned by enhanced very high electric fields.

Effects Professor Morgan told us of the sheer size of the transmission network in the Professor J. Derald Morgan is a graduate of Louisiana Technical University (B.S.E.E.)he received his Masters Degree from the University of Missouri-Rolla (M.S.E.E. ) and his Doctorate from the Arizona State University. His current research includes the biological effects of electric fields from high voltage transmission lines; load management · systems and methods; corona onset and gas breakdown in pressurized gas mixtures; and applications of the Kerr Cell measurement method to predicting gaseous discharges.

This was his first visit to Ii-eland.

U.S.A. I lost count after the first statistic - 220,000 miles of 150·230 kv lines. He reviewed the many spurious research findings concerning the biological ef· fects of power lines which were first pro· duced in the I 960s. These ranged from alleged medical disorders among workers in electricity sub·stations (Russia) to stunted growth in mice (U .S.A.) and increased suicide rates (England). He stressed that no other study matched the Russian findings and the experiments on mice were not scientifically sound.

Transmission lines affected the en· vironment in several ways. There could be partial discharge in the air about the contact points on the insulators - the audible noise we sometimes hear near pylons on foggy nights. Induced high frequency discharge interference voltages can occur. Both this and the noise problems can be designed out by keeping surface gradients down . (Ozone and nitrous oxide are formed under discharge conditions but the levels are well below environmental standards, which in the U.S. are 0.08 parts per million in a one-hour period for ozone and 0.05 parts per million for nitrous ox· ide.) He had calculated that the total quantity of ozone and nitrous oxide produced by all U.S. transmission lines (assuming all to be in partial discharge) was less than that which occurs in one good lightning storm.

Appliances The 60 hertz field is nonioOlsmg radiation and the ambient field at this frequency is extremely low ranging from 0.5 to 1.35 volts per metre outside your door. The static field between the earth and the upper atmosphere is 120·150 volts per metre. In contrast, if we sleep under an electric blanket the field is 250·500 volts per metre and at one foot away from a colour t.V. it is 30 volts per

metre (115 volt operation). Magnetic ef· fects of common electric appliances range from 10-25 gauss for a hairdryer; 5·.) 0 gauss for an electric shaver and 0.01·0.1 gauss for a calculator.

Describing the human body as being completely encased in saline solution, which is conductive, the percentage of an electric field which is transmitted is, he said, a function of frequency and at 60 hertz (50 in Ireland) extremely small.

Appliances in the home expose us to significantly higher magnetic fields (5·25 gauss) than that from overhead transmission lines.

Public utility companies in the States hag undertaken some useful public education work by having a demonstra· tion area built underneath the intersec· tion of various high tension lines up to 765kv. Visitors were encouraged to measure field leyels for themselves as part of this programme.

Professor Morgan concluded that, despite much operational experience, overhead transmission lines had no statistically significant effect on humans - the sole exception being when "conductive contact" is made - when the effect is usually final!

Discussion Professor Edward McGennis propos· ed the vote of thanks prior to opening the lively general discussion which followed. Finally, Professor AnnrilOi de Paor called on an unsuspecting student to second the vote of thanks. Rising superbly to the occasion the student neatly turned the tables on his (tor)mentor by praising the visiting lecturer for leaving behind a high standard of lecturing for the staff to emulate ....

A humo r ous intruduction, a stimulating talk, a lively discussions and a witty ending. The L & H COUldn't provide better - who said eingineers make dull company?
