Dr. Merl Baker was inaugurated as the first Chancellor of the Univer sity of Mis souri at Rolla , Nov ember 6, in co l orfu l and impressive ceremonies which formally marked not only his assuming the chancellorsh ip but also the elevation of the form er University of Missouri Schoo l of Mines and Metallurgy to full Univer sity status .

Both these changes were effective last July 1. Dr. Baker had been dean of the School of Mines since 196 3.

After a colorful procession , h eaded

by Govern o r J o hn M. Dalton, Dr. Baker was invested as chancellor by Dr. Elmer Ellis, president of the Unive rsity of Missouri, before a large gro up of d ignitaries, which included state and university officials and representatives from colleges, unive rsities an d learned and pr ofeSS ional societies fro m all over th e country.

Dr. H enry H eald , New York City, pres ident of th e Ford Foundation , was th e principal inaugural speaker. Jam es A. Finch , Cape Girardeau , President

of the Univers ity of Missouri Board of Curators , presided.

m orrow was the main theme str essed by the s peakers for the occas io n .

Taking as h is topic " The Environm en tal Pers pective ", Dr. H eald stressed the role of the engineer and scientist in building the environment of the fu ture .

Dr. Ellis presented Dr. Baker with the symbol of his high and respons ible office, in inves ting Dr. Baker w ith the chancellorship. Pres id ent Elmer Ellis lauded his devotion to the cause of engineering education .

P ointing o ut that the environm.ental revolution was b o rn indirectly an d directly from th e sc ientific and techno logical revol utions , Dr. H ea ld nam.ed populati on g r owth and urbanization as two of om maj or environmental problems.

" If we adhere to piecemeal and crisis approach to human an d natural phenomena, we may find o urselves b eing conquered by an urban wild erness just as we conquer ed the natural wilderness", Dr. H eald said. ' We need research n ot only on the development of ind ustrial processes but on the longrange environmental effects of new technology! " The importance of science and engineering in the world today and to-

Dr. Baker, in his acceptance s p eech, outlined his hopes fo r the future of the University of Misso uri at Rolla , setting 1970, the centennial date of the sch ool 's founding, as the target date for the achievement of the goal of lead ership in engineerin g.

"The development of the University of Rolla in research both at graduate and und ergr aduate levels will go hand in hand with the development of ind ust ry within the state," Dr. Baker said. " I d on 't know of any other investment that wo uld return more to the economic growth of Missouri than the development of o ur existing and en-

H o lid ay G reetings and Bes t Wish es for the N ew Year from your officers and directors of the Alum ni Association.

Thi s bas been a good yea r fo r yo ur Association in rnany res pects and the futur e looks very bright for UMR. Planning for the 1970 Centennial is coming along in fin e shape . W e are all indebted for the excellent partic ipation of th ose Alumni who have b een appo inted to serve in fo rm ulating the in itia l Centennial planning . Many m ore w ill be as k ed to serve in the com ing months as planning progr esses and implem.entati o n begins .

We were pleased to attend and participate in the inaugural of Chancell or Merl B aker on the campus November 6 . This was quite a milestone for MSM ma rking its transiti on to full univerSity status . On behalf of all Alumni December 1964

everyw here, we pledged ou r support to Chanc ellor Baker and his univerSity, and to the unive rsity system. In th e yea rs to con'le with the increasing em phaSiS in Misso uri on higher ed ucation and research , UMR will have an im p ortant role to play.

You r board of directors took an optimistic view of the coming year and voted to increase our budget this yea r to enab le a facu lty development g rant and assistance to the Athletic D epartment through its grants-in-aid program. This n ecessarily can only occm with broad pa r tiCipation by Alumni in the Alumni Fund . This is the only way we can fina nce any of our prog ra ms. Those of you wh o have s upported the association and its prog rams in the past can do m uch to encourage others to d o likewise, especially our new Alumni who are grad uat-

ing each year in ever-increasing numbers. W e have often talked of achieving a ten-do llar average contribution but it seem s to b e far m o r e important to get broad contribution participation, regardles s of the amount. As we get participation the average should take ca r e of itself in due course.

W e wer e all impressed with Homecoming this year and yo u'd do well to start planning now to come back next fa ll , es pecially yo u fellows from Classes of ' 15 and '4 0. The classes of '14 and '3 9 had a wonderful turnoLit this year.

Again, best wishes for a Merry Chr istmas and H appy N ew Year to all A lu mni everywhere.

In the fall election for members of the Board of D ir ectors of th e MSM Alunu1i Association two incumbents and two new member s were chosen to fill the expiring terms for D irectors of Areas No.1, No.5 , No.7 and No.9.

Th e incumb e nt s re-elected were Richard H. Bauer '52, Dir ector Area o. 5 and William B . Fletcher '34, D irector Area No.9.

The new Directors are Lawrence A. Spanier '50, 1551 Franklin Avenue, Mineola, Long Island, New York, Di-

De cem ber 1964

In 1953, he was named Division Exploration Engineer in Odessa, Texas. In 1955 he was transferred to the Shell G rou p offices in The Hag u e , Netherlands, to acquaint him with the world-wide operations of the Shell Companies. He traveled extensively in Europe and visited the company 's operations o n the west coast of Africa in Nigeria .

He returned to the U. S. and spent over a year on the personal staff of 7

Shell 's Executive Vice President who is now the Corporate President. Bob was n,ade Manager of Economic Analysis and later Manager of Production Economics.

Hi s stay in New York was the longest of his career and probably, too, the most rewarding. In April 1963, he was transferred to Midland, Texas and is the Division Production Manager of what is perhaps Shell's largest division, supervising over some 4,000wells, physically operating approximately 2,500.

They are located in just about every oil producing county in West Texas.

Mrs . Brackbill, Cay, was a Yankee nurse anesthetist whom Bob met in New York. She was originally from New England.

Bob 's sporting interests are beachcombing in the summer and skiing in the winter.

Brack is active in the American Petroleum Institute and AIME activities.

H e is on the Board of Directors of the Permian Basin 'Oil · Show and one of the lecturers for the API public relations activities.

Lawrence A. Spanier '50, the new Director, Area No.1, received his de-

gree in Electrical Engineering. During his time on th e campus he was very active in the School's activities as the Student Council, Student Chapter AlEE, Society of American Military Engineers, Interfaith Council, Alpha Epsilon Pi social fraternity, Tau Beta Pi and Blue Key.

seen a substantial growth since its inception. Recently the company formed Tech Aid's, Inc., another representative firm which is involved with the selling of the technical products to the educational field.

In June 1958, Mr. Spanier married the former Lurana M. Tucker, of Los Angeles, California, whom he met on a business trip to that area. They are now living in Plainview, Long Island, New York, with their two children , Douglas, age 4, and Ava, age 9 months.

A third is expected in the spring.

Upon graduation he accepted a position with Eastern Air Devices, Inc., of Brooklyn, New York, as a motor design engineer. Later he became applications engineer and sales engineer.

In 1953 the company relocated in Dover, New Hampshire, and Larry began to travel throughout the United States as the company's technical representative.

Outside of his business activities, Mr. Spanier is a Major in the U. S. Army Res erve, active in local political, civic and youth organizations and is currently endeavoring to obtain his private pilot's license.

In 1956, he became product manager for the Ketay Division of the N orden Ketay Corporation.

~~Father

of Bomb" Speaks on Campus

Dr. Edward Teller, professor of physics at the Lawrence Radiation laboratory of the University of California at Berkeley was on the campus and spoke before the School's Nuclear Engi.neering Society.

Dr. T eller who has been called the "father of the bomb ", said that our safety in the next decade depends on the pursuit of applied as well as p ure science " .

He said that pure science is a search for knowledge, but without a practical aim, whereas the " applied scientist has a defi.nable goal i.n pursuit of which he needs much knowledge and ingenuDe cember 1964

lty". Teller explained that many tasks lie ahead of the applied scientists, and that the control and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes can provide many useful tools for the future.

Speaki.ng in defense of the accusations a ga i ns t development of more ( thermonuclear ) power , he said, "It is . my belief that you wo uld not avoid res ponsibility by avoidi.ng power. Develop the power , and act conscientiously, then discharge your responsibility for the benefit of mankind. " D r. D aniel S. Eppels heimer a member of the Governor 's Science Advisory Committee and Missouri 's representa-

tive on the 18 Southern States Nuclear Energy-for-Peace Use Board arranged for Dr. Teller's visit to the campus. Accompanying Dr. Teller to the campus were Governor John M. Dalton and Dean Emeritus Dr. Curtis Wilson who is also a member of the Governor's Science Advisory Committee.

MIAA TDurney Here The Miners were host to the Sixth Annual MIAA Basketball Tourney held D ecemb er 21, 22, 23 at the Rolla High School Gymnasium. The size of the High School's facility was necessary due to the limitations of the ancient J a c k 1i n g G ymnasium of the School 's campus.

The participants were the six schools in the MIAA Conferences plus two guest sch ools, Lincoln University, J efferson City, Missouri and Kansas State College, Pittsburg, Kansas.

Central Missouri State College, Warrensburg, took first honors and Southwest Missouri State College, Spri.ngfield, was second. The Miners made a very good show ing and were seventh.

They played a very good brand of basketball. They were eliminated from the mai.n round by Spri.ngfleld who was seeded number one team by the coaches. The score was 103 to 83.

The Miners' second game was against Southeast Missouri State, Cape Girardeau an d o ur o pponents were able to eek o u t a 82 to 79 victory . In the third game the Miners won over Maryvi lle by a score of 85 to 68 .

The Miners h ave played four games of their season 's schedule and have a .500 percent average. They were defeated by Washington University, St. Louis, Mo ., and McKendree College, Lebanon, Illi.nois, and were victors over Bethel College, McKenzie, Tennessee , in a two game series.

The conferences gam e s will begi.n January 4th. The teams in the conferenc es are exceptionally strong this year and the wi.nner will have a difficult ti me attai.ni.ng that position. The preseason ch oice, Spri.ngfield, ran into disaster i.n the MIAA tournament.

Gridders ShoUl Promise The 1964 Miner football team completed a nine-game season with o ne victory. The r ejuvenated squad com p osed of mostly freshmen dis played promise as the sea son progressed against ex perienced oppo nents . Their only victory was over th e Central Misso uri State Coll ege aggregatio n . The game remained sco reless until the final quarter. Th e Miners managed to score twice o n the mudd y field and gain a 14 to 0 victory. The Min er h a I fb a c k Gasparovic scored b o t h TD 's .

Th e results of the season 's games were: Miners 7 Was hington Unive rsity 27 Miners 0 Pittsburg( K ans. ) 24 State Miners 6 U. of T ennessee 26 (Martin Branch) Miners 0 Lincoln Univers ity 73 Miners 12 Kirksv ill e 35 Miners 19 Maryv ille 41 Miners 13 Springfield 49 Miners 14 W arrensbu rg 0 Miners 7 Cape Girardeau 49 K irksville won the MlAA Conference championship with a (5-0) record; Cape finis hed sec 0 n d with a (4-1) mark; Springfield was third with a (3-2) slate; Maryvill e was fourth; the Miners fi.fth, and Warrensb urg , sixth.

Only three of the Miner squad will be lost by graduation . They are the Tri-Cap tain s of the 19 64 season ; Dalton W els h , end; Guard R obert K aiser and D onald Bacich, tackle. Good material h as been developed from the squad of fres h man and Ron Lewis, quarterback, and Eugene Ricker , en d, showed excellent promise for next season.
