Beating the Odds Opportunities are endless at UMR. The university offers an excellent scholastic program as well as numerous activities. With over a dozen engineering majors, and quite a few other ones, UMR is the perfect place for an education. Varsity and intramural sports, concerts, clubs and honorary societies; these are just a few of the many extracurricular activities that UMR has to offer. 1111 UMR students have to manage their time wisely. The busy schedules of students often involve numerous hours of studying and attending classes. Eating, sleeping and countless organizational meetings are crammed into a single day. Yet, through all of this, these students still find a little bit of time to play and keep for themselves. 1111 The extensive education that is received at UMR prepares students for what is beyond the walls of campus. Going above and beyond what is expected is what places students at the top. All of this is what gives UMR the advantage to BEAT the ODDS 1111

is one thing UMR is never lacking, that is school spirit. There is always something or someone to make you proud of your alma mater. 1111 UMR is surrounded by students who take charge of rising school spirit. At any given football or basketball game there are multitudes of individuals to chant and cheer. Not only do fans , friends and family attend, but so does UMR's Goldminers Dance Squad, Cheerleaders and Marching Band. For football games UMR even has a twirler and flag girls.

So what is next? 1111 Spring semeste r 1997, UMR's campus started more construc tion. The ground around campus was dug up in order to place a sprinkle r system in the grassy areas. Hopefully, this will lead to UMR making grounds to BEAT the ODDS 12

Only one other person in MIAA history has made the Academic AllAmerican team three times. Brian Gilmore is the only person in MIAA history to make the first team three times. Possibly the biggest honor Gilmore received was when he was named a National Football Foundation Scholar Athlete. This is an honor given to only two division II players each year.

Direction Playing with on ly two seniors the UMR womens' soccer team managed to post respectable numbers and pull off some very impressive victories. In the process the members of the 1996 team managed to carve out a niche for themselves in the history of UMR soccer. The seaso n started out rough with three straight losses to Southern Illin ois Univers ity, Lewis and Wisconsin Parkside. But later in the season the Miners picked up the pace. Following their three game losing streak to start the season, they lost two games in a row only once for the remainder of the season. The Miners managed to fin ish at the .500 mark sitting in eighth place in their region. Leading the way for the Min ers was sen ior goalkeeper Rachel Lewis. Lewis had an outstanding year in goal for the Miners. Despite her fantastic season. Lewis received very little support in the post-season all-regional balloting. She was the voted the most valuable player by her teammates. The highlight of the season was the Miners' win over nationallyranked Drury co ll ege.

Despite the fact that they throws the ball into did not win, this action secured the 1996 team another place in UMR play. hi story as they became the first UMR women's soccer team to tie a nationally ranked team. Still possibly the brightest spot for the Miners is that they only lost two seniors from their 1996 squad. That combined with an excellent recruiting class promises more victories and possibly even a championship in the Miners' future.

The 1996 men's cross country team turned in a respectable performance. But one person in particular had an out!.tanding year. Junior Ben Mulvaney qualified for the NCAA championships in California and made the All-American team. The cross country team started off their season with a third place finish in the USI Cross Country Clas!.ic with 75 pointS. From there the team traveled to Lawrence. Kansas to compete in the Jayhawk Invite where they fini hed ninth against some steep competition. On Septembe r 21. UM R ran in the Southern Stampede and came in sixth place. Then on October 8 at the Miner Invitational. UMR fini l.hed in econd place with 56 points, just 4 points behind the winner StU-Edwardsville. As the season was drawing to an end, the cross country team placed fifth and sixth in the CMSU Invitational and the MIAA Championships in Kirksville , respectively. UMR closed out the season on November 9, at the Great Lakes Regional Championship owith a ninth place finish. The top miner runner this year was clearly Ben Mulvaney who was named to the AllAmerican team. He turned in times like 25:49 at the Jayhawk Invite and 26:01 at the Southern Stampede and had a IOk of 32:24 at regionals. Sophomore Matt Hagan was the econd fastest Miner this year with times like 26:50 at the Southern Stampede and 26:59 at the MIAA championships. Others who contributed greatly to the team's performance were Kevin Johnson, Craig McCauley, John Sanders, Josh Sales, and Ryan Heckman.

nex ecte Finis With eight returning letterman from a MIAA Championship team and two players returning fro m being redshirted, there were high expectations for the UMR basketball Miners. Up to the Christmas break, they did not disappoint. They were·9-l and ranked as one of the top twenty teams in the nation. But then it all started to fall apart. Fo rward Ma rc To mpkins and Guard Kevin Conkright were both sidelined by injuries. Po int guard Cam Lindsey was also lost to academic di ffi culties. On a team with limited depth, brought on by li mited scholarship oppurtunities, this proved to be too great of an obstacle to overcome. The Miners started to lose and eventually did not even make it to the conference tournament. There were still indivdual bright spots in this season of disappointment. Senior Tim Ho lloway won the conference title for free throw· percentage and led the team in scoring. He also became the all-team leader in assists for UMR during his senior season. Jeff Kokal finished his career at 16th on the all-time UMR scoring list. He also ranks as the school's top shooter from the floor with a career percentage of 57.6. In just two years at UMR Terry Smith managed to climb his way to number three on the all-time three pointer list. he a lso set a record for three-pointers in a game with ten agains Lincoln on February 12.

After posting eight consecutive winning seasons and following a season in which they were MTAA champions, the UMR Lady Miners were expecting big things from their season. But much like the Mens' team , their ignition buttom was pushed but their rocket to a second straight MIAA championship just fell over on the launch pad. The loss of Tobi Rees and Becky Reichard greatly affected the team. Their lack of depth really began to show. Luckily the Miners had a coule of transfer students to lift them up. Emily Mills was the Miners路 leading scorer. She compiled a season total of three-poi nter that

was the second best in UMR history and third for that year in the MIAA. Junior LeAnn Farmer tied the single game assist record wih 12 and went on to shaller the single season mark set by Christie Williams just a year earlier. Senior Heather Hartman finished a stellar career by adding a few more records to her list. This included a new total for the UMR leader in career blocked shots. She also ended her career as the school's second leading rebounder and the school's fourth leading scorer. As a team. the Miners also set several records for three point shooting.

For the past four years, the name Angie Bax has been synonymous with UMR Softball. This pitcher/outfielder has a been a solid competitor in the Lady Mi ne r line up her entire college career and especially during the Miner's record breaking thirty win season. Angie Bax came from meager beginnings in the s ma ll town o f Rich Fountain, Missouri. T his town may have had less people in it than a tenth of the UMR student population, but that didn ' t stop he r from getting started in softball at a young age. At the age of seven, Angie Bax started playing little league softball. She continued to play all the way up to the high school level where she also was active as a basketball player. Bax came to UMR because of its good educational value and it close location to her home. She was abo attracted by the opportunities the !>Oftball team offered. She saw the UMR team as up and coming with a competiti ve spirit but without the pre!>sures of that would be found at a Divisio n I !.Chool. She also liked the idea that !.he would get to play in the field, as opposed to be ing just a pitcher at a larger school. To assess her performance at UMR, one just needs to g lance at her statistics. He r !Ienior year. Bax recorded a I6 wins and I0 losses while striking out 75 batters in I64 innings. She finished the season with a 3.02 ERA and 2 shutouts. At the plate she banged out 54 hits to tally a scorching .370 batting average. Alo ng the way she got eight doubles, four triples and 25 RBI's. She holds the school record for RBI's in a season with 45. Her junior year she batted .378 to earn honorable mention all confe rence and second team all region honors. Her outstanding senior year earned her a position on the all conference second team. ln the future, Angie Bax planns to put softball behind her.

Brue ._..eman More often noted for his stellar basketball career, Jamie Brueggeman is not very well known for his exploits on the track team. But without a doubt, his accomplishments as a high jumper ri val those he had as a basketball player. In addition to that, he has enjoyed a fine academ ic career during his four years at UMR. Jamie Brueggman finished sixth at the MIAA indoor track championships in the high jump w ith a jump of 6' 6" 1/4. He had finishes of fourth at Arkansas State and tied for sixth at Arkansas during the indoor season. During the outdoor season, he won the event at SIU-Edwardsville, finished second at Pittsburg State, Arkansas and Lincoln. Brueggeman earned third place fin ishes at Washington Un iversity and Central Missouri-State University. Brueggeman had his best jump at the conference track meet at Emporia State where he finished seventh. Twice he made the MIAA all-academic track team. Three times he has made academic all conference as a basketball player and once made the all-conference second team for basketball. His sophomore and junior year he was also named honorable mention All-MIAA. Possibly his greatest honor was to be runner-up for the Ken B. Jones Award for the MIAA "Athlete of the Year". AI I these honors do not come without hard work. Brueggman spends a lot of time lifing weights and working on his game. He does however admit that he takes track less seriously than basketball. "There is not as much discipline involved in track, it is more of a fun thing, where basketball is more of a job," said Brueggeman. In the future, Jamie Brueggeman plans to graduate from UMR with a degree in structural engineering. He then plans to stay on and earn his masters degree in the same subject.

This put them in a po!.ition to play Central Missouri State for the conference championship in a be t two out of three cries. I n the first game of the series. the Miners were up 8-7 in the bouom of the ninth with two outs. After an error. a double and a bloop single the miners had 1oM the first game and all hopes of winning the conference with it. The down-spirited Miners were routed in the second game and their season was over. As was mentioned earlier, thi!. great season was due largely to

a few talented transfer students. Scott Hopper and Pat Sisco batted over .300 for the season. Sisco also tied for the team lead in rbi 'sand tied the UMR record for double in a season. Catcher Mike Williams was a leader on and off the field. He led the team w ith a .357 batting average and tied sc hool th e record for runs scored in a season with 29. Junior Matt Bryant provided the power in the Miner lineup. Bryan batted .352 and set a UMR new w i th record eight home runs. The Miners also sponed the second -ranked pitching staff in the conference. This was a staff led by Tom Winkelman and Tim Rhodes who both recorded 5 wins. Kevin H ill and Mike al so provided heat when necessary.

eason or t e Recor Boo s It was a record breaking season for the UM R Lady Miner softball team. As a team, they set a new record for wins in a season. This record breaking win came over nationally ranked Columbia College. Even more impressive is the fact that the Lady Miers accomplished this feat while starting an average of five freshmen every game. Truly this indicates the UMR softball team will be a force in the MIAA for years to come. Individually. the main standout for the Lady Miners was junior Becca Alt. She set UMR records for hits in a season and stolen bases in a season. Her stolen base total was also good enough to establish a new MIAA record. Alt stole 65 bases in all whi le only being thrown out one time. Angie bax also had an outstanding season. She batted .370 with 25 runs batted in at the plate and led the team with 16 wins as a pitcher. These spectacular individual performances earned Becca Alt all-region first team honors. Angie Bax was named to the allMIAA all academic team and to the all-region academic 2nd team as well as to the aii-MIAA second team as a utility player. First basemen Jamie Ostmann was also named to the first team all-region team. Ostmann batted .338 and tied Amber Schrecengost for the team lead in home runs with 2. Schrecengost's performance earend her a spot on the aii-MIAA second team along with Shawnna Morris and Jamie Ostrnann. All together the Lady Min-

ers had a good season with big wins over nationally ranked teams like Missouri Southern and Pittsburg State. Unfortuanely they slumped when it counted and a quick double header loss to SIU brought there season to an end short of the the MIAA tournament.

Ho ein Helped greatly by a hole in one by freshman Mark Winschel, the Miner golfers tuned several heads at the conference golf match at Hidden Lakes go lf course in Osage Beach, Miss!.ouri. The seventhranked Miners were !.itting pretty in 3rd place after the first day of competition. Unfortunately they did not fare as well for the remainder of the tournament. The Miners were in unfamiliar territory playing alongside powerhou!>e team!> Central Missouri State and Missouri Western . erves got the be!>t of the unnexpcrience team and they fini shed in a tie for !>ixth in the conference. But the entire experience will help the team next year when approximately seventy percent of the team will be fre!>hman or sophomores.

I ndividually the Miners were led by senior Brian "whitey" Panka. Panka was the Miners #I golfer at all matches and brought a great deal of experience to an unexperienced team. The MVP for the team was freshman Andrew Laegler. Laegler played #2 for the Miners for most of the year and combined with Panka to have the best score at the Miner's annual Best Ball Tournament. Truly this i s a team for the future. First year coach Ra y Leuellyn will definitely look to Laegler to lead the team for year s to come. Other players that will definitely play a large role will be freshman Charles Smith, junior Bill Kuess, freshman Mark Winschell and freshman Jeff Dubrava.

Junior Steve Kadyk prepares to deliver a forehand smash during doubles play.

Team of the Future Over the past few years the UMR tennis team has been gaining steam in MIAA play. They have had a winning record for the past five years and this past year they made distinct leap in the quality of their competition. Their sub-.500 season is a deceiving gauge of how well the Miners performed in this stepping stone season. The Miners lost a key player in Methi Bengisu due to academic probelems. But other players stepped up to fill the void. Transfer student Sergio Esteban provided a great lift for the Miners. This division-! transfer played# I for most of the season . He eventually fini shed 4th overall in the conference. Matt Hamlin and Matt Salven finished fourth in #3 doubles in the M I AA. but more important than these solitary performances is the fact that the Miners made a transition to a higher level of play.

Methi Bengisu returing for the next season and two new students coming in the, Miners are l ooking to be very successfull in MIAA competition next year. This would be a very big accomplishment in one of the best division-11 tenni s conferences in the nation. Head Coach Todd Franklin gives a lot of the credit for the ri se in UMR tennis to seniors William Zung and Matt Hamlin. Both of those players have been solid performers that had a great positive influence on the entire program. The future is very bright for the UMR tennis team and next year they wi ll no doubt improve on their sixth place finish in conference from this year.

He also finished first in two such events during the season. Ben Mulvaney was 2nd in the I 0,000 meters at conference. giving him the highest place of anyone on the team. He also came in first three times in vari ous events throughout the season. These accomplishments earned the honor or outdoor MYP. Sophomore Mike Weinkauf also had three wins during the season. He qualified for the finals in the 110 hurdels and 400 hurdles but was unable to compete due to a back injury. He finished the season w ith more points than any other team member.

Sig Ep 1.ucessfully defending it's overall intramural championship for the third year in a row, and also extremely proud to welcome 33 new members into our house this year. Sig Ep's also had strong finbhes in St. Pat's, Homecoming and Greek Week and enjoyed the company of the amny aJums returning for all three celebrations. Our chapter's cudgel placed third overall based o n the theme of Dr. Seuse. who was a Sig Ep at Dartmouth University.

The EntertainmentExchange atUMI is Living on tha Edge Whether it is day or night. breakfast or dinner--or somewhat later, students engaging in an entertaining activity can be found everywhere. Students need plenty of mindless pleasure to take away school worries and stress that accompany UMR. On-campus activities constitute a large portion of the entertainment here at UMR. With well over I 00 organizations planning thousands of activites a year, the student body has plenty of options. Activities such as

Duds 'n Suds--put on at the beginning of the year for everyone in the dorms first load of l aundry. the numerous Star Wars shuttles, games, and trivia contests celebrating thererelease after 20 years, the weekl y movies shown in the Mechanical Engineering room 104 by SUB were very common plcace for the students. Without the Greek organizations. Residence Hall Association (RHA). Student Union Board (SUB). and many other large groups many

of the activities that students participate in would be gone--then what? Many more students would be losing their minds. With plenty of fast-food establishments, The Open Hand, and the Walmart--open 24 hours--there is never a dull moment. A lot of students find entertainment in outside organizations, too: for example. the Big Brothers/Big Sisters club and various youth groups at area churches provide activities for students.

Although the city of Rolla i!> relatively !>mailer than ~omc other cities in Mi!>~ouri. student~ can mostly find something to do: otherwise. there are 4 major citie~ within an hour and a half. The student body at UMR is never left without entertainment decisions to make and to enjoy. Events such as St. Patrick's Day. its various individual activities, and the other 3 I weeks of school events provi de a lot of invigorating entertainment for all.

The ladies of the Epsilon Alpha chapter of Kappa Delta Sorority kept very busy this year. In the fall they had a "Kappa Della Winter Wonderland" theme party. The party in c luded a Christma~ tree and would not have been complete without a Santa and three little helpers. Kappa Delta also carved pumpkins for Halloween and delivered them to the other Greek houses. Kappa Delta took third overall in Homecoming. and continued the tradition for the third year in a row of having a KD homecoming queen. This year. they also continued the tradition of selling Kappa Delta Gold Cards to benefit the Children's Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. Last year, they held many social events with fraternities on campus varying from a Mardi Gras party to a Let's Be Kids Again social. In the spring, they hosted their White Rose Formal and serenaded their dates the night before. Once again, they held the annual ·'Kappa Delta Campus Man Competition," raising more than $1000 for the National Committee to Prevent Child Abuse. Last spring was also spent getting ready for their 25th Anniversary (October 23, 1997) on the UMR campus and l 00 years as a National Sorority (October 28, 1997). Kappa Delta is proud to be the first sorority on the UMR campus and still going strong. Overall, it was a wonderful year for the ladies of Kappa Delta.

.Working out: Anincrease tor theletter is Living on the Edge With the opening of the new recreational center. the campus of UM R has lifted their spirits in terms of physical activity. Seemingly, there has been a dramatic increase in working out over the past year. This includes: weight lifting, cardiovasular fitness. racquetball. basketball. and volleyball. Also. there has been an alleviation of pressure taken off of the shoulders of the varsity sports. by enabling them to use their facilite s without interruptions by students. Let us examine some of the key aspects to this dramatic change. On the campus people tend to be working out twice as much as they used to before the multipurpose

building was changed. This is due to a sense of cleanliness that was enhanced by the addition of the new wing. Furthermore, when the capacity of the complex was increased this allowed people to feel as i f they had roomier accommodations, and enabling them to avoid the stress experienced by over crowding. The racquetball games being played seems to have given the multipurpose building a top rate fitness club appeal. Even if for just one hour, a student can play racquetball and alienate themselves from the hardships brought on by top notch academ ia. By designating the new wing of the multipurpose building towards students, varsity athletics are allowed

to focus on their sports rather than reservation hardships broughton by conflicting interests. For instance. our championship basketball teams now have the ability to have their practices wi thout worrying about sharing a gym. I n addition, some of the spring sports like soccer. track, baseball, and softball are able to avoid the harsh conditions of old man winter by training on the indoor track. Added enforcement's have been delegated to the protection of a student/faculty complex. At the front desk, identification must be presented before a person is allowed access to the building. On the other hand, some students complain about

Student Life

the added surveillance with regards to free weights and towels. However. at some point we wi ll be able to reach an agreement with each other if we just show some patience. Overall. working out at UMR has increased and in keeping in stride with the nineties fitness consciousness has increased as well. The ad- 路 dition of the new wing to the multi路 purpose complex has given UMR a big school sense of pride. Even if this may be minimal, there still are new things created like the three on three basketbal l tournament and various other activities. It is diffi路 cu lt to create something new and expect perfection, but obviously we are headed in the ri ght direction.

Whether one is living in Greek housing or in the residence halls. rooms are full of everything one normall y puts in a house. You can find couches. entertainment center s and plenty of clothes in any given room. Getting the most out of the few square feet one has is a cha llenge to all and a triumph for some. Lofts

condense the noor space taken up by the t\\O beds. Beds were rigged up to be suspended in air by a contraption made of wood and chains which gave a set of roommates zero noor space devoted to their beds. Stackable entertainmetn centers inc ludin g stereos, telev i sions, and video cassette recorders can be found in many rooms. Shelving systems arc quite common whether it 's a nice wooden arrangment or even the plastic Yaffa blocks which

help keep thing~ in order for ~e,eral student-.. Today. lots of desk space is often tal,.en up by computers. so in some student!>路 room~ you can find foldable card table~ to be used with playing card~ or textbooks. M any people take pride in their room. You can lind several rooms in the residence halls and in Greek housing with neon signs, Christmas lights, and wi ld deco lamps (including returning lava lamps). These fun items attract the eyes of many

people simply dri ving down the !.treet. Door decoration.,, '' hether it be a dr}-erase board or a name sign,are great for not only the re~i 颅 dent but also the passer-by~ to get a good laugh. With a large majority of students living in university housing of one kind or another, the challenge most often is how to make their room a home for nine months of the year. The way it is organized and decorated can make a difference in an attitude.

If one seriously analy7es the food resources offered at UMR. it is very possible to be satisfied. The problem arises in that not all students are campus residents. Therefore. if a campus resident is in that unavoidable dilemma of constant ca feteri a food; obviously. they wi ll find little enjoyment. On the other hand. if a person indulges in the occaisional

ne of the best things about the organizations here at UMR, is that most of them do some sort of service is very organization for the co mmunity. They donate time and money to several charities around the Roll a area. It on. It important for students to give back to the com munity because they have the time and energy to make a big contributi also gives the community an opportun ity to have a good opinion about UM R students. " Most all of them do services fo r Rolla," said junior Stacy Garfield. Society of Women Engineers (S WE) junior high contributes time to the Russel House, such as baby-sitting. SWE also has programs set up for girl scouts and girls. Panhellenic Council visits area nursing homes to sit and visit with the residents. "Lambda Sig ma Pi does tons of service projects. Sometimes we even get turned down for contributi ons because of Lambda charities around Rolla say that they have too much money and to call another charity," said Garfield, member Sigma Pi. of Interfrate rnity Council (IFC) participates in the hi ghway cleanup program, along with the American Society sponsors Civi l Engi neers. IFC also has organized a skate-a-then to raise money for different causes. Theta Tau Omega charity. the "Ugly Man" Competition to raise money for the winning organization's favori te said "Society of Mining Engineers (S ME) gives money to LOVE Foundation every year arou nd Christma s time," Jesse Blair, member of SME, "it looks good for organizati ons to make donations." and Almost every organi zation has a philanthropy or a charity in which they sponsor, some of which are national However, others are local, either way, they help others. This factor is an accompli shment for all of the organizations. events for the community in a sense repays the organizati ons by the Rolla businesses. These businesses sponsor several campus organizations and Greek houses, for example, UMR Solar Car Team. Not on ly do organizat ions help out the community, but they also benefit the students here. They do thi s by sponmaking soring and organizin g informati onal programs. The UMR Techs give several presentat ions throughout the year students aware of health issues. Coun"Panhelle nic Counci l put on programs to benefit the people," said Garfield, also a member of Panhellenic cil. Panhellenic Council has organized programs about self-defense and sexual awareness. s will All of these organizations deserve recognition for the effort they have put into helping others. Hopefully, thi continue on for many more years to come.

EG 10 Restructuring For years EG- 10 has been an unchanging el emen t in the sc hedu l e of any freshma n, w ith aspi ration of an engineering degree. EG- 10 h a~ always been a course to teach freshmen the basics of A utoCad. Quattro Pro, and other common soft ware packages that will be used numerous times in a variety of c l as~es to come. That is until the fall semester of 1995, when the format of EG- 10 was changed. It was changed from a class completely based on software applications to a mix of sol'tware applications and a semester-long design proj ect. The new format was installed to gi ve students some practical design experience in a lower level class, w hich it has. However. some teachers feel that the addition of the design proj ect has left students w ith a lesser

The Co-op Experience by Dave Holden As a senior in Mechanica l Engi neering at the University of Missouri-Rolla, I decided that I needed an edge over other mechanical engineers. I wanted very rnuch to gai n some experi ence in the worJ.. place ~o that I could begin to understand what would be expected of me when I became a full time professiona l engineer. The best way that I could do both of these things at once was to get a co-op j ob. I was selected for a co-op position wi th Chapparal Steel in Midlothian , Texas. They produce steel !-beams. channel, rebar, round s. and many other specialty steel products such as castilated beams. A~ it turned out, l worked for the part of the plant that shreds automobiles and ?ther scrap for the melt shop. \\ hich 111 turn melts the steel so that the different products could be rolled in the

various mills. Until my co-op job began. I wa!. completely unaware of the many different directions that I could go With a degree in mechanical engineering. The position that I took was basically one of a plant engineer. For the lirst several weeks I was shown around the plant and in~rod uced to everyone from the management staff, people 111 accounting. and to each department manager. On the plant tour we saw such things as the melt shop melting 50 tons of steel with millions of vol ts of electricity, to the shredder shredding a car every 13 seconds. The Shredder operation was an integral part of

the plant because at thi~ Meel plant all the ~teel wa~ recycled and a large majority of it had to be proce!>!>ed before it could be melted. The shredder did almost all of thi~ proce!>!>ing. and a~ it turned out I wa~ one of the engineers that would be responsible for any modi fications or maintenance to the entire process. At first thi!. wa~ very intimidating. Suddenly 'omeone \\US asking my opinion on how a process should be modified or enhanced, then asking me to do some drawings. then going out and building the item. The first time this happened it was scary. because I wasn't prepared for how seriou!.ly people would take what I had to say and immediately apply it. Also. most of the time the projects that I worked on cost a fair amount of money. so any mistakes could quickly make me look bad. However. thanks to my education at UMR. ,..,., , \\ """'"f"li> ~' Br.ld 11 I was inore prepared than I thought for such problems. During my seven month !.tay. I not on ly got the experience I was looking for. but I also learned many other less academic thing!.. I learned how to get a project from an idea to a contractor. how to beuer communicate my ideas and recommendations to my employer, and I learned how industry views an engineer and what it expected of engineers. But most importantly. l learned that I enjoyed being a design engineer much more than a plant engineer, and I learned that l would, in the end. make a very good engineer.

Faculty in Residence Reside ntial Education i s an approach to integrating curricular and co-curricular experiences at the University of Missouri-Rolla. This idea dates back to the idea of "re~idential colleges... It i~ ba~ed on the tutorial system that many colleges used to have. Although professors don'tlive in the re~idence hall s with the students, the goa l of Residen tial Education is to promote the interaction of faculty with students outside of the classroom. It has been shown that students who have an informal relationship with a professor have a higher retention level. This is due to the fact that the students have a friend who also happens to be a faculty member. Residential Educa tion g i ves students a direct connection to the university.

Faculty arc encouraged to enter the rc!>idence halls and give seminars on a vari ety of topics. The hope is that each program will provide. for each !>tudent in anendance, a meaningful experience that linh in-cia~:. experiences to out-of-class experiences. The) complement each other. For example. Dr. Paul Santi of the Geological Engineering Department presented and di!>cus~ed the geology of the movie 'Tremors." Dr. Santi discussed specific landform s shown throughout the movie, in addition to the overall geologic selling. Dr. Nick Knight of the English Department presented two programs during the fall 1996 semeMer: one being an introduction to Shakespear's "As You Like It,'' and the other was titled. "English 22-Baule Literature.''

IN THE~ HOME STRETCH Finally, after all the years it is over! The studying. the late night cramming fo r tests, the exciting Rolla lifestyle, and of course the dreaded final s. Why do we put ourselfs through all thi s punishment? I suppose there are a few people out there that avtually like all this stress. but for the majority of us it is to take that giant step into the "Real World." To find a j ob where instead of getting up and going to class every day you go to work. Uni versity of Missouri-Rolla is well know for getting it!> Mudent jobs in their field of study. This is, to the most part. due to an excellent facility called the Career Opportunity Center (COC). This faci lity, found on the third fl oor of Norwood Hall, provides students with the necessary resourses to find the right job. Students can do anything from getting help with their resumes to practicing their interviewing skills during a practice interview. The Center also has a library of material on hundreds of companies around the world so that students can research and find possible employers. The Center is also in charge of another important tool that has helped us all when looking for summer, Co-op, and Full time j obs. This device is a system that consists oa database of resumes o that all inquiring companies have access to Mudents resumes. It is easy fot a student to be added to the lit. All one has to do is go by the COC and pick up a computer disk. Take it home and fill in the template with your resume information. Then bring it back and the COC loads your resume into the database. When a company shows interest in your resume you are notified via computer. Then all you do is call the COC and set up a time for an interview. They also provide the place for the interviews. Down the hall they have an area with individual rooms that certain companies have sponsered in order to have a place for interviews. The Career Opportunity Center is responsible fot the majority of the jobs that arc given to UM R students. So remember that all these years of hard work and dedication have paid off and now it is time to take that giant leap into the ·•real world." I am sure that UMR has prepared us for this step.
