Chancellor's Report to T ask Force On October 16, there was a meeting of the Chancellor 's Task Force and Chancellor Mer! Baker made the following report to the group: It is gratifying to have so many of you here today and especially do we appreciate the help which you have given in raising funds toward the new University Center.

You have many reasons to be proud of the campus and certainly we are fully aware of the value of outstanding leaders working to enhance the image of the campus. This provides a good foundation on which to build further.

The University Center is now started and we thimk you for this important step. Stage I , will do much to meet the needs of our students and faculty and , hopefully, it will be an important tool in attracting more students into engineering. We believe that the start of Stage I wiII be an added incentive to gain funds for Stage II. You wiII be proud of our students ' academic standard, I believe, and wiII agree that they deserve the full building at the earliest possible date.

ber 1971

Rolla is very fortunate in having not only highly motivated students but also students with excellent capabilities.

This is almost uniformly true among all the programs offered and does give the campus the opportunity to have rigorous academic programs with students capable of meeting these standards. This is a very important factor in the high degree of success of our graduates in various aspects of business , industry and government.

Few UMR students come from a family with an income above $30,000 per year; and on the other extreme, few come from very poor families . This middle class composition of students motivated toward engineering, the physical sciences and related liberal arts disciplines is quite typical across the nation . This relatively homogeneous background avoids cliques or tendencies for discrimination on campus. Most of MSM Alumnus

the students are Missouri residents but there are enough students from other states and other co untries to give the student body a cosmopolitan atmosphere.

The American Council on Education has taken an opinion survey of freshman students ac ross the nation for the last few years.

For the UM R freshman, it is noted that 16 % had national meri t recognition as compared to a national average of only 8.3 %.

Forty-seven percent said that a major source of financial income during their freshman year would be from their own savings as compared to a national average of 33 %.

About 70% of the Rolla freshmen are in engineering , 7% are in the physical sciences, 2 % in mathematics or statistics and over 8 % in other technical fields. Humanities and social sciences, relatively new as degree programs , attract over 4 0/0. Some students are undecided.

About 73 % feel that colleges are too lax on protesters. Only about 14 0/0 report a generation gap with their parents .

The Rolla freshman also ranks these high: Developing a philosophy of life 72.9 0/0; becoming an authority in his field - 74.40/0; raising a famil y 64 0/0. About 60 0/0 believe the individual can change society.

Twenty-nine percent .of the freshmen are sons and daughters of businessmen, while 16 0/0 are sons and daughters of skilled workers.

In the 1970 freshman class, 35 0/0 ranked in the top 10 0/0 of their high school class; 56 0/0 ranked in the top 20 0/0 of their high school class. Their Standard Aptitude Test Scores (based on Missouri college-bound high school seniors) 46 0/0 of the 1970 UMR freshman ranked in tbe top 10 0/0 ; 66 0/0 ranked in the top 20 0/0 .

Qualifications of Faculty

Yo u also can have reason to be proud of the faculty. Out of a total of 353 professional level faculty members, 293 or 83 0/0 have their Ph. D. They are from different universities and bring a good cross section of experiences. They are interes ted in students , but are also making significant contributions in research and continuing education .

Building Program

We have made progress in our building program with State funds , but more is needed to bring the physical plant up to what it should be for our present program - and then launch ahead for future expansion.

Included in the 1972- 73 Legislative Capi tal Improvement Request ' for the four-campus University of Missouri , UMR has a request for $20,655 ,000.

All of this is needed to upgrade facilities for present programs and is not based on future expansion of enrollments or programs.

The list of buildings proposed for 1972-73 Legislative Capital Improvement Request follows ; building repair, rehabilitation and support facilities ; sites for campus development ; boiler, turbo-generator; metallurgical and ceramic engineering building ; engineering complex and physics, nuclear and geology science complex.

Because of the needs on all four campuses for capital , it was not possible to include a replacement for the Mining Building which serves M ining, Petroleum and Geological E ngineering. It has not yet been de termin ed whether the present b uilding can be remodeled to meet the needs or if a new one wiII be more economi cal. If enrollments ran be increased significantly in these departments thi s will help rai se the priority . The number of students served is a major influence on priorities.

Future

M uch can be said about the progress which you have helped make to date , but there are national trends which make the future fearfu lly chall enging 7

for the campus . I present this as a challenge, as I feel that this campus will not become a victim , as many universities have , to the declining interest in engineering. Our enrollment for the first time since 1962 is down in the freshman engineering class. It is about 25 % below last year. The only compensation factor is that the quality continues to increase. Every effort is being made to correct this enrollment deficiency by the fall of 1972 and your help is also solicited. Dean Johnson and Dean Planje have accepted this challenge to restore this by the fall of 1972 and I believe we will be on target.

The Department of Labor predicts that the number of engineers needed by 1980. will be 40% above those produced in 1970 and that engineers are likely to be in short supply.

The entire profession , as well as government and employers of engineers should be much more concerned about this national problem than they are at present. Our national leadership quite obviously recognizes the declining relative strength of our Nation in many technological fields on the international

scene, as revealed by a recent article by John Pierson in the WALL STREET JOURNAL (7-6-71).

Europe is going to be 'a continuingly more difficult problem.' "

"Tora! Tora! Tora! Only this time, instead of dive-bombers, Japan is sending us steel , radios , cars and cloth. And instead of Saturday night at the movies, it's Tuesday or Wednesday morning at the White House , and Peter G. Peterson , President Nixon 's new assistant for international economic affairs, is showing slides.

Special Help Is Needed

"Less dramatic than bombs surely , but Mr. Peterson 's graphs and charts, depicting trade trends, are nonetheless starting to awaken some powerful people here to a growing challenge the U. S. faces in international trade. "It's going to be a much more economic world and a more competitive one, " he tells them. " Mr. Nixon , who confers almost daily with Mr. Peterson , hardly misses a chance now to warn that in two more years Japan will pass the U. S. in steel production. To that with Britain in the Common Market, competition from

UMR has now reached the position of being second in the Nation in the production of B. S. level engineers and our graduate program is rapidly growing. Not only are we dedicated to holding the program at this high level , but also it is reasonable to forcast that UMR , in the next decade, will be the institution in this country which will have a greater impact than any other university in engineering and closely related fields . This is important for many reasons, but in order for us to take full advantage of this poten tial , we need your help in the following: ( 1) Funds for completion of the second phase of the University Center.

Dr. Thomas R. Beveridge '42 , UMR professor of geology and geological ~ngineering, became interested in natural phenomena like sinkholes , tunnels and natural bridges when he was state geologist in the 1950's. " People would write me at the Missouri State Geological Survey and ask where they could find these natural wonders and what to call them ," he says. "So, about 13 years ago I began going on field trips to track down , describe and catalog unusual and scenic geologic features of Missouri. " This spring, Dr. Beveridge will go on sabbatical leave for eight months from teaching at UMR to do his first exten8

sive writing on the subject. He has described several sites in magazines like the Missouri Conservationist, but now will they will all be in one volume. The Missouri Geological Survey has been subsidizing the field work for this planned publication to be called " Scenic and Unusual Geologic Features in Missouri."

According to Dr. Beveridge, there are over 200 natural phenomena in Missouri which would be of interest to the real nature-loving tourist, if he were aware of them. These include such features as Grand Gulf (a huge collapsed cavern west of Thayer), shut-ins (where a stream has cut a canyon through a mountain) like the ones in Johnson Shut-Ins State Park, the Pinnacles north of Columbia, features of the Devil like Devil's Den east of Springfield (a steep sinkhole) and Devil 's Backbone in Jackson County, the Narrows near Houston (narrow ridge and balanced rock), natural bridges around the Lake of the Ozarks, the loess hills near St. Joseph , Lover's Leap near Hannibal , the sinkholes along Sinks Road near

"These are only a few of the natural phenomena of our state," Dr. Beveridge says. "Many others exist that would interest the public. My planned publication will tell their names, how to get there and description of them , including their probable origin." Some of these have been described before by others , he says , but this book will be the first "complete" list in one volume.

" Among the natural phenomena which I still haven 't described ," he laughs, " are some 50 features attributed to the Devil." Ones which he is currently tracking down are a natural bridge in Bates County, a Devil 's Rockpi le in Douglas County and a Devil 's Punchbo",l in Phelps County.

Beveridge to Publish Scientific Guide For Nature Loving Gypsies .. • • Most tourists in Missouri look at natural wonders like the El e phan t Rocks, appreciate them, and go on about their business. But a UMR geologist hunts out Missouri 's natural phenomena, like the Elephant Rocks , writes down their descriptions and catalogs them - eventually to be included in a guide book for nature lovers.

who contacted him for information on unusual natural features which Drey wanted to purchase. Dr. Beveridge supplied the facts, and Drey bought several sites which he has placed in trust in hope that a state or federal agency will take them over for preservation. Among these are Clifty Hollow , a natural arch , northwest of Rolla , the Narrows, west of Houston , and Grand Gulf, west of Thayer.

Dr. Beveridge also advised the Forest Service is in negotiations for the acquisition of Slaughter Sink and Conical Sink.

In his book , Dr. Beveridge will write for the layman. Along with directions on how to get there, he will tell of pitfalls along the way. For instance, in telling how to get to the Elephant Rocks in Iron County, he gives different routes and route warnings li;;:e, " Route A is most scenic , but involves jumping across crevassas in the granite and therefore is not recommended for senior citizens , for leather-soled shoes or for rainy days." His descriptions run like this. " Caves are like houses - given sufficient time and insufficient maintenance the roof may fall in. Grand Gulf, six miles west of Thayer , is a spectacular example of such a cave . . . " Dr. Beveridge says that he hopes his book will provide a guide for traveling tourists who like to go from place to place seeing nature's wonders. "State parks are becoming jammed with people," he says. "A tourist hunt for natural phenomena would disperse Missouri's tourists and give them a scenic and geologic smorgasbord as they travel through the state."

The book will be a scientific guide for nature-loving gypsies] he says.
