MSM Alumni Assocation

President's Column HESIDENT MEL NICKEL has invited me to write the P resid ent 's column for the MSM Alumnu s a nd being somewhat of an opportuni st I thought that T would use thi s space to plug our Alumni F in ancing P rogram. Preside nt Mel asked me to ass ume the Cha irm a nship of the F in a nce Committee when he took offi ce a nd he has been very pa ti ent to date with our efforts .

Our contributions in this fi scal year have been better than we have ever expe rienced before, but they obv iously a re not comm ensurate with eith er the potential of Alumni graduated or th e sta ture of our Alm a Mater as an in stitution. Our co nt ri but ions a t thi s writing a re running at app rox im ately 2,000 and we hope (with our fin ge rs crossed) to be able to reach our goal of 2,400 cont ributi ons in fi sca l 1957-58. The ki ck-of f for our 195 8-59 fi scal year is Hom ecoming, November 1, a nd I am con fi de nt that we should ra ise our goal of co ntributors in the coming year substa nti ally hi gher tha n the 2,400 set for thi s yea r.

nuclea r reactor building on the MSM campus is to start in the near future , according to Dr. Daniel S. Eppelsheimer, Chairman of the Nuclear Engineering Advisorv Committee of the school. The const;'uction of the building and the reactor has been held up for some time due to a legal technicality . An Act of Congress passed August 23, 19 S8 amending the Atomic Energy Act of 19 S4 has made it possible to resume activities. HE ERECTION OF A

The U niversity of Missouri Board of Curators has selected and approved the present site of building 1'-5 cast of Fulton Hall for the site of the new building. The architect, Mr. P. J. Hoener, who designed the new Electrical Engineering Building has started work on the plans for the building. The new building will house a 10kilowatt swimming pool type training reactor. The Curtiss-Wright Corporation has been chosen by the Board of Curators to supply the reactor. Funds in the amount of $150 ,000 were made available to the University in early 1958 for the purchase of this reactor by the United States Atomic Energy Commission. However, the one agreement was unconstitutional under the present Missouri Constitution. The amendment to the Atomic Energy Act of 19S4 exempting non-profit educational institutions from financial pro-

tection has made resumption of the project possible. Additional funds totaling $ 147 ,000 were granted to MSM by the Atomic Energy Commission for teaching facilities to be used in conjunction with the reactor. The AEC is making grants to certain American universities for the purchase of nuclear equipment to be used in the training of students in the various fields of nuclear engineering. To date , grants have been made to the University of California at Los Angeles, Ohio State University , and MSM for training reactors The nuclea r program at the Missouri School of Mines was initiated in 1946 with the establishment of a course in Nuclear Physics. The Nuclear Engineering Advisory Committee was appointed by Dean C. L. Wilson to evaluate the nuclear engineering field and plan the nuclear curriculum of the school. Under the guidance of the ~ommittee, courses in nuclear and reactor physics , heat transfer systems, and metallurgical and ceramic technology of reactor systems have been established. A Master of Science Degree program was established in 1957; as a result of this program, the school has been approved by the AEC as a participant in its fellowship program. The reactor facility will permit the

implementation of labo rato ry instruc.tion in nuclear and reactor physics as well as the production of isotopes . Two reactor physics laborato ry courses have already been drafted a nd will be initia ted as soo n as the reactor facility completed . Dr. Eppelsheimer said that the committee considered the following features to be particularly important when they selected their training reactor: Safety; Integrity of components; Flexibility ; Simplicity ; Economy. H e said the committee evaluated all available types of training reactors. They concluded that the swimmingpool type reactor bes t met their needs in terms of the above a nd other criteria. The reactor they selected is designed for operation at 10 kilowatts. Shorttime operation at higher power levels is possible . The control console was designed with many fail-safe features and alarms since safety is a prime requisite in a student training reactor. Open pool construction permits flexibility in the operation and utilization of the reactor. The students also have visual contact with the core and many of the experiments The reactor selected by MSM is one of several pool-type training reactors offered by Curtiss-Wright Corporation.

Eppelsheimer, Planje Delegates to Conference In Switzerland on Atomic Energy's Peacetime Use

Specifications for Married Students' Dorms Reoised

Dr. Daniel S. Eppelsheimer , Professor of Metallurgical Engineering and Dr. Theodore J. Planje, Chairman of the Department of Ceramic Engineering, at MSM , left August 30 for Geneva , Switzerland, as delegates to the Second International Conference on the peace-time use of atomic energy , that was held at Geneva September 1 to 13.

The Board of Curators of the University of Missouri has approved architects' revised plans and specifications for construction of 48 married student apartment dormitory units at MSM.

The conference was attended by representatives from all counties including Russia and Red China. It dealt primarily with developments.in the Nuclear Engineering field as it relates to engineering, medicine, and other nonmilitary uses. Dr. Eppelsheimer and Dr Planje attended as members of the

Nuclear Engineering Ad visory Committee of MSM and as guests of the nuclear engineering industries. Last spring the Atomic Energy Commission made a grant available to the School of Mines for the purchase of a Nuclear Energy Reactor and the Missouri Legislature appropriated funds for the construction of a building to house this new equipment on the school campus. Other members of the Nuclear Energy Advisory Committee of the School are: Dr. Aaron ]. Miles, Chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Harold Q Fuller, Chairman of the Department of Physics, and Dr. William H. Webb , Professor of Chemistry.

Plans and specifications for the married student apartments at MSM were revised by University architects when bids (Mechanical) submitted some weeks ago were rejected by the Board of Curators because they were above estimates and above funds available. The University will re-advertise for bids on these units . Plez Lewis & Sons of St. Clair, Mo. , has general construction work on the married student apartments.

Geology Staff Members Return From Summer Field Expeditions in Many Parts of World Members of the Geology Department staff at the School of Mines returned to the campus from all parts of the nation and Europe at summer's end. Traditional " field season" for the profs saw the Chairman, Dr. Proctor, engaged in geologic reconnaissance of several thousand square miles in southwestern United States. A major objective of the program was a better understanding of the structural grain of the various age rocks and the setting of mining districts within this framework. Temperatures ranged to 125 degrees F , so he reported a " hot time. " Dr. Grawe kept the home fires unlit in Rolla where he served as special assistant to the head of the Metallurgy Section of the Division of Mineral T echnology, Region IV, U. S. Bureau of Mines. He assisted in the development of new projects and critically reviewed project proposals dealing with differential thermal analysis, ore dressing, and recovery of useful materials from plant wastes. Also in and about Missouri were Professor D. L. Frizzell and Professor R. E. Morgan. The former occupied much of his time in continuing research in micropaleontology. Interesting research papers on crustacean gastroliths ("stomach stones" ) and ossiculiths (accessory ear stones) appeared during the summer authored by Dr. Frizzell and his wife, Dr. H. Frizzell . Professor Morgan consulted on iron and oil prospects in Missouri and Kansas. He also did work on a hazards report for the MSM reactor soon to be constructed on the campus. Dr. Spreng continued his work on a four-year program of studying the limestones of the mid-continent for cement and chemical uses. Late in the summer he visited the Rocky Mountain region , field checking some thesis work of Ray Chico, graduate student. Dr. Amstutz spent three months on a visit and lecture tour to some of the major universities in Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, England , Spain and Portugal. Ideas and theories on the origin of rocks and mineral deposits were major topics of discussion. The subject of environment of ore deposition and chemical nature of ore fluids occupied Dr. Bethke. Basic theories of ore deposition are the obSeptember October 1958

jectives of an investigation of ore minerals and metal ions in solution approximating ore fluid composition in progress at the school and in Washington D .C. by the U. S. Geological Survey. Professor Maxwell continued his research on quantitative description of landforms of the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern CalifornIa. The latter part of the summer was spent with the U. S. Public Road Office of Research predicting peak strea m discharge from small watershed using quantitative landform characteristics as a basis of prediction . Instructor H agni continued his research in the Tri-State mining district near Miami , Oklahoma. Genesis of the ores is his major objective. Dr. Grawe is Chairman of a Special Functions Committee for the annual meetings of the Geological Society of America and Affiliated Societies which wiIl be held at the Sheraton-Jefferson Hotel in St. Louis , Mo. , November 6-8 . He is also co-chairman for one of the sessions of the Mineralogical Society of America, meeting as one of the affiliated societies.

British Educators Visit MSM Campus N i net e e n distinguished educators from Universities of the British Commonwealth , eleven of them accompanied by their wives, were on the MSM campus the afternoon of September 12 . They had been attending the Triennial Meeting of the Association of Universities of the British Commonwealth held in Canada. The group had spent September 11 on the campus of the University of Missouri at Columbia. On the wav to Rolla, they visited the campus of -Lincoln University at Jefferson City. Accompanied by President and Mrs. Elmer Ellis of the University of Missouri, the visitors arrived in RoIla at four p.m . and were greeted by AssistJnt Dean of the Faculty, V. A. C. Gevecker in the absence of Dean Curtis L. Wilson and were then conducted about the campus by a group of Department Chairmen of the School of Mines and MetaIlurgy.

At six P .M. the visitors met at the home of Dean and M rs. Curtis L. Wilson for an informal tea which was attended also by the departmental chairmen of the School of Mines. Here Sir James Duff, Vice-Chancellor, University of Durham, expressed tha nks of the visitors for the privilege of visiting both the campuses at Columbia and at Rolla. In response President Elmer Ellis of the University of Missouri expressed appreciation of the faculties of the University , both at Columbia and at Rolla, for the privilege of exchanging views with these distinguished educators.

National President Guest Of Automotive Engineers The Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy Student Section of the Society of Automotive Engineers was host for an informal visit by William K. Creson, National President of the Society of Automotive Engineers on Tuesday, September 23, 1958. Mr. Creson motored to Rolla with Mr. Holly Moore, Executive Secretary for SAE and several officers of the St. Louis Section of SAE. Included in the party were Mr. Al HazeIl, Chairman of the St. Louis Section, Mr. Ralph Cornell of the St. Louis Public Service Company, and Roy Stahl , '49 , employed at Wagner Electric Company, St. Louis , Missouri . Their visit to the largest Student Section on a college campus in the United States included a tour of the recently completed dormitories and cafeteria. Progress on the construction of the Student Union Building, Civil Engineering Building, and Electrical Engineering Building was observed. After a morning of tours and informal discussions the group of SAE officers and Mechanical Engineering Staff Members was joined by Dean Curtis L. Wilson and the officers of the Student Section for lunch. Shortly after lunch President Creson and his party departed so that the President could make travel connections for the next stop on his busy itinerary.

Again this year several of the Alumni a re returning scholarship money given to them some time ago when they were in school with the request that the fund s be passed on to some other deserving boy. William Paul Dixon , '54 , who received the Students Educational and Loan Foundation Scholarship wrote, " Th e scholarship came to me at' a time when it was nearly one-fifth of my year 's college expenses . Pass it on to a nother man. A check for $100 is enclosed. It is a pleasure to be able to pass on the scholarship. "

The recipient shall be a gradua ting senior or a gradua te of the a bove mentioned high schools who will be enrolled as a n und ergradua te in any engineering curriculum a t M SM and who has been selected by the Faculty Schola rship Committee of the school, such selection to be based upon the results of comprehensive competitive examina tions to be given by the committee, coupled with a consideration of general fitn ess. The recipi ent of the schola rship shall , at the tim e of his initia l selection, be a ca ndidate for admission to the freshma n class . Thorough prepara tion in mathema tics and science will be essential for those hoping tQ be favorably considered . The stipend is $600 for the freshman year a nd the schola rship in like amount may be continued for three more years subj ect to a credita ble aca demic record . Applica tions must be on file by M arch 1, 1959, and the selection of the Schola rship holder for enrollment in September, 1959 will be made on or before April 15 , 1959.

Six New Scholarships Set Up for Freshmen in Mining Engineering; Five Awarded This Year Six new freshmen schola rships with an a nnual stipend of $500 each have been made available during the pas t s ummer, a nd five of the schola rships have been awa rded for 195 8-59. The first two of the fi ve schola rships awarded were made available by the Southwest Lime Company , Neosho, Missouri , of which Russell W. Hunt , M SM '21 , is president. Russell 's COI11pany a tta ined na tional prominence when his organiza tion converted a worked-out lime qua rry into a vas t storage area for surplus products for the U. S. Government and commercial organizations. It is one of the la rgest of its kind in the country. The four other scholarships are in memory of J esse H. Steinmesch , MSM '06 , who died in 195 2 after a distinguished career in mining and as a teacher on the campus of Missouri School of Mines and M etallurgy . All six of the scholarships are limited to students in Mining and Mining Ge-

ology. Five of the awards ha ve been granted for the current academic year. The holders of the Southwest Lime Company Schola rships a re Thomas Lee Ca rter , Roscoe, Missouri , and Richard L. R eyburn , 251 Cunningham St. , Richmond , Mi ssouri . Two of the four Steinmesch Schola rships became available la te in the summer and only one of these was fill ed . The additional one will be filled for 1959-60. The three holders of the Steinmesch Schola rships a re Thomas Franklin . Rutledge, Jonesburg, Missouri ; J a mes W . T aylor, 2347 Lawndale, Kansas City , Missouri ; a nd John, J. Donnelly, 119 W. Wilson , Ca rten 'iIIe , Missouri. In commenting upon the a wa rds, D ean Wilson sa id such scholarships not only perpetuate the memory of those who have made great contributions to Missouri School of Mines' and Metallurgy in the past but they also help many worthy young men who could not otherwise continue their engineering education.

Charles J erome McCoy, ' 56, is another one who wrote enclosing a check to be a pplied toward the same scholarship fund . In the past , several alumni beginning with Charles Alfred Dick ' '~4 , c lo Radio Stat.ion WQOK, Green~ Ville, South Carolma, who returned fund s to the Lucy Wortham James Schola rship Fund , have returned those fund s given to them while in school with the request that the money be added to the scholarship fund for the use of boys currently enrolled.

Dr. Lou Gets Addition To Grant for Research An additional $ 1,000, as an F . Gardner Cottrell Grant , has been awarded to the School of Mines by the Research ~orpo ration to support the investigatIOns of Dr. P eter F . Lott , associate professor of chemistry.

ROTC Enrollment Highest in History

MSM Military Department Staff

Enrollment in ROTC at MSM this fall semester is 1,340. This enrollment is slightly greater than last year and is the 'highest in the history of the school.

All physically fit male students entering MSM as freshmen are required by the laws of the State of Missouri to complete two years of training in ROTC. Two additional years of advanced training in the ROTC are offered by the Military Department. Upon successful completion of the Advanced Course and graduation from college a majority of these cadets are commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the Army Reserve . A small number are commissioned in the Regular Army each year. This year there are 303 students enrolled in the ROTC Advanced Course. Colonel L. L. RaIl, Professor of Mili tary Science and Tactics, has a staff of 10 officers , 13 non-commissioned officers and 4 civilians, who assist him in the conduct of training and the ad ministration of the Ca<!et Corps. The MSM-ROTC Band have an active band program plannell for the coming year under the direction and management of Mr.. James W. Robbins of the Humanities Department and Captain Ralph M. Leighty. The band has been provided with new distinctive uniforms which are expected for the homecoming football game. The uniforms are light gray , trimmed in gold , made of wool worsted whip cord , and are designed for use by both the field and symphonic Unit. These new uniforms will greatly aid the morale of the band and boost the esprit de corps of the Miners. The entire Cadet Corps marched in a street parade through downtown Rolla, October 25, in connection with the MSM Annual Parent's Day celebration.

122 MSM Cadets Complete Summer Training Courses The MSM ROTC Cadet Corps was represented in Summer Camps at Fort Belvoir, Virginia; Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri ; Fort Riley, Kansas; Fort George G. Meade, Maryland; and Fort September October 1958

Gordon , Georgia, this summer. A total of 122 cadets completed the six weeks summer training; 108 of these at Fort Leonard Wood . At the conclusion of the various ' Summer Camps, 18 of the cadets, June graduates of MSM , were commissioned as Second Lieutenants in the U . S. Army Reserve. The total number of commissions conferred on MSM grad uates in 1958 was 106. This is the highest number of graduates of the school commissioned in anyone year , fourteen more than the previous high of 92 in 1957. Among these newly commissioned Second Lieutenants is Delbert Edwin Day who was graduated with Highest Honors in June 1958. The University of Missouri Curators' Award for the outstanding cadet at Summer Camp was won by David A. Sutton, ' 58 , who was one of the 18 who were commissioned at the conclusion of Summer Camp; and the University of Missouri Curators' Award for Marksmanship was won by Samuel E. Sands, class of 1960. These awards were presented at a review held at MSM on the 22nd of October.

MSM Senior Winner of Welding Foundation Award Valgene E. Hart, a senior student in Mechanical Engineering has been an award winner in the Eleventh Annual Engineering Undergraduate Award and Scholarship Design Program sponsored by the James F. Lincoln Wellling Foundation, Cleveland , Ohio. The entry was made in the Mechanical awards division and his paper on " Portable Welded Engine Hoist" was chosen in the Fifth Awards class which carried an award of $50.00. The Lincoln Foundation makes 46 awards each year. Awards are made for both mechanical and structural designs which make a significant use of a rc welding for improvement and lower co~ts. The Foundation also awards scholarship funds to schools in which students were enrolled when making their .designs. The three top awards of $1 ,250, $ 1,000 and $500 were granted to students at Cornell University. This is the first time students in one engineering school made a clean sweep of the three top awards.

William Donaldson ' 31 , was welcomed to his first meeting and he gave a short interesting talk on his activities since leaving MSM. He has not been back to MSM or Missouri since graduating as most of his time has been spent on the west coast. Various summer consultants and summer students from MSM , along with new graduates were welcomed to the meeting. A fall meeting was discussed but no plans are available at this time. After the meeting everyone made new acquaintances and reminisced of the days at MSM.

Missouri Day in Texas Held by MSM-M. U. Alumni The joint School of Mines - University of Missouri Section of the Alumni Association , at Houston , Texas , staged a " Missouri Day in Texas," October 4, for all alumni and friends of the School residing in Texas . A reception was held in the morning at the Rice Hotel honoring Lt. Governor and Mrs. Edward V. Long, of Missouri , and President Elmer Ellis of the University of lVlissouri. At noon one hundred and twenty-five alumni and guests assembled in the Crystal Ballroom for luncheon. The Secretary of State of Texas, Zollie Steakley, welcomed the group in behalf of the Governor of Texas. Brief talks were made by Governor Long and President Ellis. After the luncheon the group boarded the Missouri Pacific's football special for College Station , Texas to witness the Missouri University-Texas Aggip football game. The iVISM Alumni Association was represented by Ike Edwards, Executive Secretary of the Association , from the Rolla campus, and Bus Entsminger represented the Alumni Association from the Columbia campus. He is Director of Alumni Activities there.

During the annual meeting of the Society of Petroleum Engineers of the AIME in Houston, Texas, October 68, 1958 , the MSM alumni in attendance and in the Houston area held a luncheon a t the Rice Hotel. The School September October 1958

of Mines was one of eight schools that had scheduled an alumni luncheon. Roger J. Schoeppel ' 52 , Instructor in the Mining Department, MSM , was present and reviewed for the group the status of the building program at the School and brought them up-to-date on the campus activities. Among those present at the meeting were: Rex Alford '40 , Marvin Zeid ' 51 , Bob Ridley '40 , Forrest L. Carpenter '38 , Edgar A. Rassnier '42 , Bob Alger '38, Rolla T . Wade '31 , O. K . Holman '37, R. W. Heins '40 , Guy Brown '40 , Dennis McColgin '48 , Ralph Graham '31 , M. A. Jeffers '39 , Roy Clayton '50, B. J. Gross '33 , I. W. Alcorn '22, R. A. Tappmeyer '47 . All of the above alumni were from Houston , Texas. Also present were Bob Brackbill '42 , New York, N. Y.; P. A. Dennie '40, Roswell , New Mexico ; Frank Millard '37 , Tulsa , Okla .; Sid Duerr 'SO, Corpus Christi , Texas ; Nace F. Mefford '48 , Ashland , Ky; Ken Anderson '42 , Dallas , Texas ; J. T .

The 1959 meeting of the Society will be in Dallas , Texas, October 3-5 and it is hoped that a MSM Alumni Luncheon will be held during this convention.

Sports Letters Sent Out by Jerry Berry Jerome T. Berry '49 , is the sportscaster for all the Miner football games and takes care of the sports publicity program . The Athletic Department and Jerry have devised a Sports Letter that will be issued ten times a year and two issues have been sent to the alumni. It was their intent to send it all alumni who pa rticipated in inter-collegiate a thletics . This was don e to ge t a mailing list , and to publicize the letter. They hope to finance the cost of printing and mailing the letter through alumni who wish to receive the letter regularly . Some alumni would probably like to receive the letter who have not bee n contacted; if so , just write to J erry in ca re of the Athleti c Department MSM , Rolla, Mo. This letter gives much more news about the athletic teams than we can provide in the limited space in the MSM ALUMNUS.

Pi KA Chapter Gets National Awards The Alpha Kappa Chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity on the MSM campus had the distinction of being the most awarded chapter a t the national convention held in Washington , D . C. last August. Among their awards was the Hipple Award for outstanding chapter participation in campus organizations, an award for ranking ninth in the 117 chapters in chapter proficiency, and the Lynn Award for a five- year perfect record in reporting . The chapter won the campus scholarship trophy in the fall of 1957.

Residence Hall Dwellers Form Organization The Men 's Residence H alls Association is a new organiza tion on the campus with a membership of 48 5 students, the entire popula tion of th e four ;,IS;,I dormitories. The organi za tion is hea rled by a board of gove rnors elected by the students and its purpose is to provide social function s, sports prog ram and activities to contribut e to the welfare of the occupants of th ese housing fa cilities.

Many Alumni Attend Rocky Mountain Meet The annual Rocky Mountain Minerals Conference was held in Salt Lake City on September 17-20, 1958. A very fine program of papers and symposiums, ranging from atomic power to modern management , created much interest. Field trips that included visits to a n operating solar furnace , a " hot" atomic reactor and a " high-line" skiers chair lift were outstanding attractions. A cocktail party "open house" with mining companies and suppliers as hosts was a good starter for many other social events that followed. The large attendance of Engineers and their ladies, with a total registration of over 600, enjoyed the entire session, with many of the visitors contin uing on to San Francisco for the 1958 American Mining Congress. Prominent M.S.M. alumni in attendance were Charles A. Freeman-'28 Freema n Fire Brick Company, Canon City, Colorado who p resented a paper "Clays of the Intermountain Area;" J. Bruce Clemmer-'28, U. S. Bureau of Mines, Salt Lake City giving a paper entitled " Innovations in Processing Nickel and Cobalt Ore ;" and from Albuquerque , New Mexico, Guy Martin'23 of Ma rtin Laboratories. Alumni from Utah were: Joe E. Ste vens- '32 , Sam Craig-'26 , Ed Englemann-' ll , Joe Ribotto-'3 5, Phil Boyer- '28 , Neil Plummer-'36, M. P. Nackowski- '49, and Bob Kelahan'49.

Eta Kappa Nu Gets National Honor The Gamma Theta Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu , on the MSM campus, has received the coveted Activities Award of the electrical engineering honor society . The Gamma Theta Chap ter was orga nized on the campus six years ago a nd since then the chap ter has achieved the Activities Award three times and received Honorable Mention two of the six years. This is indeed an enviable record . The Activities Awa rd is a silver plaque, engraved with the name of the chapter and the institution In which it is located and it is presented a nnually by the New York Alumni Chapter of Eta Kappa Nu. The awa rd is designed to encourage members of chap ters across the nation to participate on a team basis in endeavors which are of significa nce to chapter , school, and community. Thirty-four chapters submitted reports containing details of their activities for the past academic year. Advance planning, uniting the members in a common objective, a nd continued determination were significant factors in the excellent showing made by the Gamma Theta Chapter this year. The Chapter's objective, " to make this yea r one of the best tha t Gamma Theta has had " was certainly accomplished. One of the striking fea tures of the activities of Gamma Theta this year is the breadth of interest that was displayed. In terms of service to the profession and to community , chapter members were concerned not only with reaching high school students, but also with contacting alumni members and those who had been inducted as professional members. At the high school level, a committee of the chapter wrote a se ries of a rticles aimed at the high school student explaining different phases of engineering and indicating what high school preparation was required for each branch. Furthermore, chapter members attended high school science club meetings both to speak and to answer questions on subjects of interest. Special equipment was constructed for demonstration in the local junior high school and chapter members worked closely with members of the faculty when the latter were involved in high school visitations.

One of the highlights of the Chapter's activities was its role in the joint Engineers' Day-Science Fair on the MSM campus. Among the other numerous activities are: maintaining a large file of potential professional members, study of the adequacy of the reference libra ry , safety program in the department , a film library has been organized , securing a room for a shop and involved in experiments with closed-loop educational television and its operation. The president of the Chapter for 1957-58 was Norval D. Wallace and Associate Professor George McPherson was the faculty advisor.

Knowledge of Russian Helpful to Engineer " It wouldn 't hurt a ny youg man who aspires to be a top engineer to study Russian along with his foundation of mathema tics and the sciences." This is the observation of Warren Dana White '38, who is a member of the Interna tional Institute of Radio Engineers and is employed on top classified milita ry engineeriI;lg projects as an engineering consultant at the Airbourne Instruments Laboratories In New York, N. Y. Warren doesn't know any Russian . Furthermore there are very few schools in the United States which teach this foreign la nguage, but he reads American translations from the Russian scientific journals. These journals, available In the United States but screened from many readers for lack of translation, gave a complete explanation of Sputnik three months before Russia took the world by surprise with the first one. In the special research and engineering department at Airbourne Instruments Lab he is working on the development of new inventions and has some patents to his credit. Not much can be said about his work because much of it is classified , but Mr. White has attained an unusual degree of success in the engineering profession. H e advises that it is necessary to have push a nd drive to acquire the education that is required for engineering work and this doesn't end with a bachelor's degree. Warren, his wife, Gwendolyn , and their two children live in cryster Bay, New York. Their son is 17 , and attends the Oyster Bay High School. Their da ughter Grace Dana is 12 .

Plenty of Jobs for Hard Workers, Says Geuecker. " There is a job for everyone, but you will have to work hard ." This is the phil osophy for job hunting upperclassmen, according to Assistant Dean Vernon A. C. Gevecker. Recently the Wall Street Journal gave some statistics that there would be 39,000 engineering graduates next spring and 50,000 jobs demanding their services. Dean Gevecker is not this optimistic concerning the job demands . Employers are going to be more critical in their job interviews this fall , and an attempt will be made to get the best among the graduates. And Dean Gevecker predicts that next spring the employers are going to find themselves short of employees to meet their engineering demands, and consequently there is going to be a mad scramble for the available supply. The starting salaries for the 1958 graduates, on a monthly basis and a forty hour week were as follows: Ceramic Eng. Chemical Eng. Ci~l Eng. Electrical Eng. Mechanical Eng Metallurgical Eng. M ining Eng. Petroleum Eng . Science-Geology Physics

Low $450 450 450 450 434 450 465 400 400 470

Av. High $475 $500 48 8 520 473 580 496 580 482 540 49 1 556 472 475 466 505 43 8 505 530

The Class Average .... .. ......... $484.34 For those in research , teaching , foreign employment and civil service the a verage salaries were: Civil Service, $325 - Teaching $3 66. Research $400 - Foreign Employment $72 5. " It is obvious as to the difference in starting salaries of holders of Master's or Doctor's degrees and Bachelor of Science degrees," Dean Gevecker stated. " Last year Master of Science candidates were about ten per cent of the total number of Bachelor degrees . Doctor of Philosophy candidates were few and found only in the Ceramic, Chemical, Metallurgical, Mining and Geology Departments." Dean Gevecker predicts that salaries will go up for the 1959 graduates. And most of the graduates will be employed in industrial rather than governmental work . MSM Alumnus

New Alumni Directory To Be Issued in 1959 The next issue of the Alumni Directory is due to be published in 1959. The publication of this directory requires the co-operation of all alumni to make it an edition that will have information concerning graduates and former students. It is extremely difficult to keep accurate addresses and business information due to the mobility required of the modern engineer. We are aware of the fact that there are many alumni that we will not be able to obtain their current whereabouts and business information but ' we do want to reduce this to a minimum. In this issue of the MSM ALUMNUS and in future issues there will appear lists of "Unknown Address" alumni and we are asking your assistance in furnishing us with their addresses and business connections. It takes eternal vigilance to keep the " Unknown Address" file to a minimum size. One-third of the alumni change addresses each year. And in the confusion of moving and other pressing . matters the Alumni Office is left unadvised of the change of status. So, won 't you help your fellow alumnus to help us, and make the 1959 Alumni Directory as devoid of "Unkown Addresses" as possible. The alumni will be listed alphabetically, geographically, and by classes.

His wo rk centers around a small black box , a con trol position transducer (CPT) , for test aircraft. This miniature instrument , insta lled in aircraft, will record stick and con trol surface deflections and give project engineers informa tion on the pilot's inflight maneuvers. To ready the instrument for insta ll ation , Bess is now running a series of tests on the CPT box to determine the effect of various temperatures, altitudes, accelerations, and vibrations on the delicate componen ts.

Miners Lose Heartbreaker To Washington U; Take Two Other Grid Defeats As we go to press, the Miners' 1958 football team has had the experience gained in three games. They were all defeats, but two of them were with very strong teams which were purposely scheduled to prepare the inexperienced squad for a difficult conference schedule. The Northeastern Oklahoma State College team from Tahlequah, Oklahoma, defeated the Miners on their home field by a score of 20-3. The second game was with the strong Lincoln University team of Jefferson City. This was the Miners' first game with this especially strong team that has an enviable record; the score at the end of this game was 46-0. The thirty-seventh annual game between the Miners and Washington University in St. Louis was a bit disheartening. The Miners outplayed the Bears throughout the game. During the fina-l five minutes of play with the score 1213 in favor of the Miners, Washington's fullback , Eddie Stein, broke through the Rolla line and stole a handoff from the Miner quarterback and raced 45 yards for the winning touchdown. The Bears converted the point after touchdown, and the final score was 13-19. The Miners' experience in these three games should be helpful in their conference competition . Quarterback Bill Wheeler set a new school record by throwing 27 passes III the game with Lincoln University .
