President's Column SCHOOL I S ONLY AS SUCCESSFUL as its alumni a nd the accomplishments of its graduates is directly propo rtiona l to the knowledge they carry a way with them. The knowledge a nd the ability to use it a re impar ted even to the most difficult of us through the un tiring efforts of the teachers.

T hus it aga in becomes self-evident that the true strength of the school (in fac t, of our co untry) may be directly measured by the strength of the teaching sta ff. MSM has long been known as one of the outsta nding engineering schools in the world because so many of its a lumni have conve rted to finit e form the basic seeds of knowledge imparted by their instructors .

Perhaps we in America have become so involved with the necessity of grasping " the overa ll pict ure," that we now find it difficult to recognize the individua l. To paraphrase - - " We can't see a tree for the forest. " Thus, we tend to develop a habit of reminiscing on our humble beginnings as students, to look back on our p rofessors as a composite or group photograph and lose the individual p rofesso rial identity wh ich we so admi red while in school. It is, therefore , a di stinct p leasure to have one of the members of the MSM Sta ff individually recognized and honored not for some grea t resea rch project or other incidental end eavo r, but - for being wha t he has always been , an outsta nding teacher.

On April 19, 1958, approxi mately 200 former stud ents joined with ma ny current and past colleag ues a nd fri ends of Dr. Walter T. Schrenk to pay tribute to him. The occasion - - just an a waking within this group of the sure knowledge that this ma n had long proven his tru e greatness a nd , a fter thirty-five yea rs of continuous service to a long succession of MSM students, he should be told of their great love a nd respect. Walter Schrenk has time and again p roven his loyalty to our Alm a Mater whi ch he has em braced a nd s uppo rted as his own. H e has conscientiously a nd a bly served the School, its ad ministra tion a nd the State which created it. His greatest concern , however, has always been, is, and forever will be , the student. H is aim a nd pu rpose has been to ins ure the best possi-

HOMECOMING OCTOBER 3 1 AND NOVEMBE R

legislature Gives MSM $1,458,000 Plus Building for Reactor The Missouri Legislature closed its special session April 4th a nd completed action on all app rop ri a tions that were presented.

The School of M ines will receive $ 1,45 8,000 as compa red with $ 1,428 ,000 recommend ed by Gove rn or Blair and $ 1,502 ,000 that was requested by the school adm inistration. In the fi sca l year 1957 -5 8 the school received $ 1,294 ,500 . And aga in this yea r, the legislature added funds for in crease in sala rIes. The Legislat ure a lso granted the School $50,000 to erect a building to house a n atom ic reactor and giving a green light to proceed with a program which the Atom ic E nergy Comm ission has gra nted nearly $3 00,000 to MSM for a nuclear engineering program. Thi s will place the School of M ines amo ng t he wo rld 's leadi ng education a l inst itutions in t his field of t ra ining .

Similar grants were made to onl y two other universiti es. T hese are Ohio State a nd the University of Ca lifornia at Los Angeles . The AEC will co nsid er lend ing four kilog rams of contained U-2 3 5 for the train ing reactor core without cha rge to MSM . Thi s would ma ke possible immed iate ope ration as soon as installation is completed. The new reactor will be of a 10 kilowatt capacity .

Student Union Bids High; Hope to Get Larger Loan Bids for the co nstruction of a Stu dent Union bu ilding were opened Mar. 18. T he low bids totaling $638,138 were subm itted on a p roposed building that was to cost a pproximately $500,000.

An effort will be made to obtai n a la rger federa l loan to complete the building as planned. If thi s is unsuccessf u I, a ltera tions will be accep ted to bring co nstruction within fund s avai la ble.

Revenue bonds are to be issued to finance the building, with income from a union fee paid by st udents a nd profits from operation to be used to retire the indebted ness over a period of 40 yea rs.

Monsanto Company Awards $1,500 Grant for Mining Research; Other Projects Underway

T he Monsanto Chemical Company, of St. Lo uis , Mo. , has awarded a gra nt of $ 1,500 to MSM to be used to cont inue resea rch star ted las t year as to the explosibility of ammonium nitrate hyd roca rbon fuel. Dr. George B. Cla rk , Cha irma n of the Mining Depa rtment will direc t the project.

Severa l other important projects a re under way with Dr. Cla rk as principal investiga tor. Las t April a $33 ,000 project was app roved for the study of the effec ts of stra in rate in the fracture of various rock formations. D r. Cla rk a nd his associates sta te tha t the work is well under way. Special electronic equ ipment is bei ng adapted to particula r needs of the research .

T he funds to finance the work were allocated by the National Science Foundation. T he Foundation was established by a n act of Congress in 1950 " to initiate and support basic resea rch in the mathematical, physical, med ical, engi neering a nd other sciences by making cont racts or other a rra ngements (includi ng grants, loans a nd other forms of assistance) for the cond uct of such basic scienti fic resea rch ." T he Foundatio n was created in a la rge pa rt because of the vision of American scientists.

In Feb rua ry 1958 , the National 4

Science Founda tion app roved a $29,000 gra nt fo r research on stresses on heterogenous geological bodies under gravita tional forces , also to be directed by D r. Cla rk . At present men in the department a re constructing a centrifuge to be used on geologic models which will be capable of subj ecting the specimens to force fields severa l t imes that of gravity. T he actual construction of the device will require a bout a year.

Intricate, complex. and hard-tounde rstand-for-me instruments a re being used to reco rd the ra te of stra in on various rocks. The ra te is t ransla ted elect ronically on film so tha t the scientists may then a nalyze the res ul ts. A high speed camera tha t is capable of taking 3,000 frames a second has been purchased from the Nationa l Sc ience Founda tion fund s. Powerful lenses contri bute to the efficiency of the proced ure. T he camera action may be slowed down on the sc reen so tha t the results may be studied minutely.

D r. Clark advises that the National Science Founda tion and the Monsanto programs a nd others like them have inestimable value in strengthening the teaching effectiveness of future courses in the subj ects dealt with in the experiments and thereby reinforcing the knowledge of all .

Four Other Holders of Tom Kelly Scholarships In the J anuary - February issue of the MSM ALUMNUS , an article appeared concerning Thomas Wallace Kelly who gradua ted from MSM in 1940, was killed in World Wa r II and bequea thed a schola rship fund for worthy students from the Benton, Misso uri , High School to a ttend MSM. F rancis Diebold '53 has given us additional informati on about the late T homas K elly and the schola rships his will provided .

In the original a rticle, three alumni were named who received the scholarshi ps. There were others a nd they a re : Ben Melvi n Ada ms '47, T heon Grojea n '49, Robert M. Harrison 'SO and F rancis D iebold ' 53. All of these men a re successful in their profession.

It is interesting to note that the town of Benton, M issouri has a popula tion of only 500 plus. A good percentage fo r MSM. I n add ition to all of this, Tom's memory was recently perpetua ted when the re-organi zed School District No.4 , in so uthwest M issouri , chose as its name " Tom Kelly High SchooL"

Small Increase in Fees Planned for Next Year T he incidenta l a nd non-resident fees at the University of Misso uri will be increased a t the begi nning of the first semester of the 1958-59 school yea r. .

T he in cidental fee is b e i~ raised to $85.00 a semester. Since tne students at IVISM now pay a uniform laborato ry fee of $ 15.00 plus the incidental fee of $6 7.50, or a total of $8 2.50 a semester, the new incidental fee will mean an increase of onl y $2 .50 .

T he fees were raised because of the need fo r additional income to help the University mee t the continuing rise in opera ting costs a nd is expected to add abo ut $250,000 a yea r to the University's income.

T he increase will also place the University of M issouri fees about on a n ave rage wi th those cha rged by other state universities in this a rea . Before deciding upon the amount of increase, a compa ra tive study of the fee schedules of neighboring institutions was made.

Some of them cha rged more and some cha rged less tha n M. U. The adjustment places M. U. somewhere in the middle.

Visitors' Board Recommends Mill Tax for Educational Building, Higher Pay for Faculty H E BOARD OF VISITORS of the University of Missouri has recommended a statewide planning program for hiaher education , and has suggested an ea;ma rked mill tax to finance building construction for state educational institutions. The Visitors also strongly uraed immediate action to increase salaries of the teaching sta ff a t the University and to provide adequate " fringe benefits" such as insurance and retirement income to prevent the critical raiding of faculties a nd staff by other states and industries.

Pointing a warning finger to the oncoming tide of enrollments threatening all institutions of higher education, the Governor's representatives stated that " in attempting to look into the future , we at once encounter the question as to whether it would be better to make present institutions bigger, create new ones , or do some of both. " The Board of Visitors submitted the

T

report to the Governor in a sixteen-page publication dated Feburary 14, 1958.

In the summary statement the Board ~a id , "It was a pleasure to ouserve ... the very fine records a nd reports by the University. This made it easy for us to ascertain the general business and educa tional policies as well as the sta tus of the more important aspects of the operations of the institutions."

The repo rt was divided into the following sections: Summary Statement, the University Staff, Enrollment, Building Program and Statewide Planning.

The members of the Board of Visitors, appointed by the Governor to ma ke this annual inspection , include: Preston Estep , of St. Louis, chairman ; Wi1Iiam R. Toler, of Kansas City, vicechairma n ; Wilbur F. Daniels of Fayette; Ma rshall Harris, of St. Louis County and H. E. Slusher of Jefferson City.

Plans Underway to Provide More Facilities For Intramural Sports Activities THE CAMPUS PLANNING, the administration of the school has not neglected the long over-due expansion of the athletic facilities. At the regular session of the sta te legislature last December the plan was submitted and the text of the justifica tion for the expansion is as follows: " The major area of recreational activity for the students of the School of Mines and Metallurgy is that offered by the Physical Education D epartment through its inter-collegiate a nd intramural sports programs."

I

N

These programs are now conducted in an area located in the center of the campus adjacent to and surrounded by educational buildings. Plans for the construction of new educational buildings will further confine the space now being used for these Physical Education programs. More space is needed now for these programs and greater need wi1I exist with the rapid increase in enrollment.

On the perimeter of the main campus at the School of Mines and Metallurgy is an area of approximately an eighteen hole golf course. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the March

April

1958

student body play golf. It is estimated that approximately 75 % of the student body participate in the intercollegiate and intramural sports program.

While it is desired to have a golf course , it is believed that the needs of the student body for this one sport could be fi1Ied by a good nine hole course. If the eighteen hole course is reduced to a nine hole course this would release approximately 50 acres for carrying out the Physical Education Program in other sports, such as football , baseball, softball , track and tennis . Indoor sports which would later move to this a rea wo uld be basketball, volleyball , wrestling, boxing, handball , swimming and physical educat ion classes.

The area will provide a site for an a uditorium-field house, and an intercollegiate football field including a stadium , a site for a ROTC building with drill field and parking facilities.

In addition it would provide approximately six athletic fields for in t ramural sports, a baseball diamond a nd eight tennis courts.

The immediate need is to have fund s

appropriated for the grading required in the cut and fill operations for leveling the area for the proposed athletic fields and building sites. Included in this need is the expense of providing storm sewer drainage for <l: distance of approximately 1200 feet III an underground tunnel with dimensions of approximately 4 feet by 6 feet.

It is estimated tha:t all- this site preparation , grading , cut and fill operration and construction of storm sewer will cost about $ 17 5,000 . T his estimCl.te is based on the following items of expense: 1. Intercollegiate football field with stadi um .

2. Site for auditorium-field house.

3. Six intramural athletic fields.

4. Intercollegiate football practice field .

5. Intercollegiate baseball fi eld .

6. Site for ROTC bui ldi ng.

7. Space for a minimum of eight tennis courts.

8. Parking for app roximately SOO cars.

Golden Anniversary St. Pat's Celebration Marked by Traditionally Colorful Events

I

L

Sig Ep's Wi nning Flo at

The Golden Anniversary of St. Patrick's visit to the School of Mines campus was nearly the occasion tha t the St. Pat's Board had planned. This da te also was the 30th Anniversa ry of the St. Pat's Board .

T he pa rade of 13 floats was the best in ma ny years. T he theme of the 1958 parade was Irish legends, songs a nd tales.

St. Pa t a rri ved in Rolla on his handca r, t ra nsferred to the traditiona l ma nure-spreader to lead the parade up Pin e Street. T he first float in the pa rade was the one upon which the Queen and her Royal Court were riding. The honor of builcli ng the Queen's float a utoma tically goes to the organization tha t designed the prize-winning fl oat last year, the Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity fl oat consequently led the parade. T he float that was judged the best in the Golden a nniversary pa rade was tha t designed by the . Sigma Phi Epsilon fra ternity , entitled : " Cobblers Aid a Lep rechua n Trade." The lore of the lep rechua n a re those tiny sprites that invade the thoughts of the imagina tive Irish.

St. Pa t's Queen was Miss Joline See,

8

who was chosen by the St. Pa t's Board .

She is a graduate of Central High School, Springfi eld , Mo., and was recently a candidate for Miss Springfield of 1957 . Miss See is the second successful Queen candidate nominated

by Kappa Sigma in as many years.

Miss Marilyn Goodnight, who was also from Springfield , was the winning ca ndida te last year for St. Pa t's Queen .

St. Patvick was Ron Husema nn , a membe r of Beta Sigma Psi fra ternity.

Woody H erman and his fabulous Third H erd furnished the music for the 50th a nniversa ry masquerade ball F riday night a nd the formal ball Sa turday night , where the corona tion of the Queen of Love a nd Beauty was held.

Nava I Air Station Head Speaks at MSM R. WILLIAM CARTWRIGHT, head of the Air to Air Weapons Division of the Naval Ordnance T est Station , China La ke, California, was a t MSM , unde r the a uspices of Sigma Xi .

and spoke on the " Problems in the Development of Air to Air Guided Missiles. " He gave a very interesting demonstration of the role of engineering compromise in the design of a complex system. Each part : explosive , fu se, propellant, frame , airfoils, sensing, computing and guida nce, must mesh its requirements with those of other parts to form a safe , reliable , sturdy a nd effective missile. Noting tha t the advent of high speed bombers carrying bombs of great destructiveness, necessitated the elimination of the a ttacking plane fa r from the target under conditions in which the interceptor or pilot might get only a very limited shot , he indicated the need for guidance.

Maintenance problems, reliability a nd complexity pointed away from a system in which the interceptor controls the missile by directing or by a llowing the missile to ride a bea m. A homing device in the missile is used .

The homing device generally takes ad va ntage of the reflectivity of metal skins for electro-magnetic radiation , chiefly rada r or infra-red , or may use the thermal radia tion from the attacking aircraft 's engine or exha ust.

D esigning a prototype missile for the a udience, the speaker indicated tha t the explosive might weigh 50 pounds, guidance a bout as much, propellant roughly 80, lea ving about 20 pounds for a rocket engine and something for a fra me and airfoils, brought the whole item to something over 200 pounds.

T his missile might have a range of 10 miles, yet be effective a t much sho rter ra nges , be able to withstand accelera tions of 5 g., dissipate, during its flight , the la rge a mounts of heat energy coming in through the nose .

H is necessary that it be la uncha ble a nd fairly easily handled .

J AS. D. F OWLE R , 50-YEAR GRAD , TO ATTEND COMMENCEMENT June of this yea r ma rks the half century point since J as. D . Fowler's gradua tion fro m M S M . Although th rough the nea rly 45 yea rs of practice in his own engineering business there have been some rough experiences he is of the opinion tha t he has been fairly successful a nd tha t any other profession would not ha ve been so fascina ting. Mr. Fowler is returning for the 1958 Commencement.

Swimming Team Wins Eight of Ten Meets The MSM swimming team had one of the best seasons in the school's histo ry . T he 8 out of 10 record may not seem as imp ressive as the 9 out of 10 wo n duri ng the 1956-57 season bu t this year's team broke t he reco rd of 500 total poin ts set last year, scoring a to tal of 515 poin ts. In addi tion to this, fo ur pool records were set, plus two ind ividual scoring records b roken .

Jeff Goodall , a freshman from Ba rtlesville, Okla ., scored a new high in to tal poin ts for a season with a total of 110.25. He showed remarkable consistency in his two individ ual events, the 60 a nd 100 ya rd free sty Ie . H e was unde feated in the 100 ya rd and wo n 9 out of 10 in the 60 ya rd . An other high was the four yea r total of 25 7.54 set by grad uating senior Robert Sucher.

Looking back over the las t four yea rs, the swimming teams have wo n 30 and lost 9 meets. And looking forwa rd at the p rospects for next year, only two of the team will be lost by gradua tion. W ith thi s gro up of ta nk-

ers we can safely make the conjecture that next season's tea m should be equally as successful as las t. Coach Burr Van Nost rand has been train ing these outstanding teams at MSM. Here is a summa ry of the season's meets. T he M iners' score is in the first column: 25 ...... .... .. Ka nsas University ........ 6 1 58 .. .. .. Ft. H ays (Ks.) State .. .... 28 63 .. ......

Arizona Section The Arizona Section held its annual St. Patrick's Day celebration, March 15 , at the Safari Hotel in Scottsdale, Arizona . The alumni and their wives , wearing a bit 0 ' green , met in the private banquet room overlooking the patio and pool area for a social hour followed by a delicious dinner.

After dinner the meeting was called to order by the president, Fred Dreste '43 , and the report of the last meeting was read. Charles Browning '48 , arrangements chairman , took pictures of the gathering. The entertainment was provided by three alumni , who attend ed the St. Pat's celebration minus a bit 0 ' green . A history of the first St.

Rocky Mountain Section St. Pat paused briefly in Denver, Colorado, March 15 , 1958, while enroute to the Rolla campus. Because of the pressing engagement on the MSM campus he gave his blessing to the Rocky Mountain groups of MSM Miners and turned the meeting over and into the competent hands of John R. Post '39 , himself a former St. Pat and now president of the Rocky Mountain Section of the Alumni Association.

Gaiety and good cheer reigned throughout the evening. The tables at the Aviation Club were spread with greenery and a rich dressing of the usual frivolity that prevails at this season of the year when MSM alums get together.

In this happy atmosphere of warm good fellowship and mutual admiration the boys and their colleens stepped it off on the dance floor as pretty as you please, never minding that their left feet knew not wha t their right feet did . Ah 'twas fun oncet a year for us old 'uns ! - - - and some thirty guests were there to join in the shenanigans.

The officers of the section are: John R. Post '39, chairman; Robert L. Martin '49 , vice-chairman ; Mrs. Pauline Schroeder '50, secretary-treasurer.

Southern California Section The Southern California Section had a most interesting and enjoyable St. Pat's meeting on Saturday, March 15.

While the crowd was a bit smaller than usual , due to the heavy down-pour of California's famous " liquid sunshine", a good time was never-the-Iess enjoyed by everyone present.

An unexpected pleasure during the course of the meeting , was a long distance phone call from the MSM alwnni in the Phoenix-Globe-Tucson area, who were having a similar meeting in Phoenix, Arizona that evening. Cy Young '17 , and Dan Huffman '22 , who were formerly very active members of the Southern California Section, have been the spark-plugs of the Arizona Section since moving to that area . In addition to these two stalwarts, Milan Detweiler '11 and Charles Browning '48 , also took the phone to extend their greetings in behalf of all the Phoenix gang to the Southern California crowd.

This was a very pleasant gesture and much appreciated by everyone present.

The honored guest at the meeting was Dr. Henry F . Friedman, accompanied by his charming wife. Dr. Friedman , who is an outstanding physician in Beverly Hills, is the head of the Washington University Alumni Association in the Southern California area . The MSM Section recently wrote to Dr. Friedman, along with the heads of other Alumni Associations of Missouri Colleges in the Los Angeles area , to explore the possibility of some cooperation between our various groups .

Dr. Friedman showed a great deal of interest and cooperative spirit, stating that while the Section 's problems were in many respects completely dissimilar , there were certain areas where they could cooperate to their mutual benefit.
