Back in 1951, University of M issou ri -Rolla visiting professor Robert Banks, was j ust seven years out of UMR 's classrooms when he made his first major scient ific break through .

A research chemist for Ph illi ps Petroleum Co .. Ba nk s and his associate, J.P. Hogan, made a discovery that was to revolutioni ze the infant plastic industry.

"Actually , we were studying catalysts, tryin g to conve rt a gas in to liqu id gasoline. We made a modificat ion on the catalyst, and we came LIP with a sol id product ," reca lls Banks, now a Ph illi ps research associate.

That discovery--crystalline polypropy lene-- blossomed into an important process for the production of high-density polyethelyene. K nown by Phi llips' trade name, MARLEX,TM" the process discovered by Banks and Hogan produces more than one-third of the world's supply of polyethelyene.

"Before that time, plastic had to be made under extremely high pressure. Now we cou ld make a much tougher highdensity plastic at moderate pressures and temperatures," Banks says. He remembers with a smi le, "One of the first big commercial uses of th is new product was the Hu laHoop."

He credits his find to " luck" and "maybe, positive thi nking, taking advantage of the si tuat ion as it opens up and the ability to recognize a possibility when you find someth ing new that isn't what you are looking for," he says. For the 12/ MSM Alumnu s

development of th e discovery. he gives credi t to Phillirs Petroleum Co. for its forw ard -looking resea rch and deve lopment management that gave the scienti sts th e go·ahead to see what th ey could do.

Banks' second breakt hrough (made on his own thi s tim e) came in 1959 .

"St ill trying to make liquid gasol ine out of a gas." he observed that olefins over appropriate catalysts cou ld be disp roporti onated (converted) to ot her olefin s in all efficient manner. This second discovery . meta th esis. has had far reachin g iniplications. It is used for th e com mercia l rroduc ti on for convertin g ab undan t propy lene int o eth ylene and butene (to be used in the production of plas tics and rubber) as well as for the product ion of spec ialty chemicals. One <lr· plicat ion is neohexe ne. th e raw material used by the rer fume indust ry to make musk for perfumes and soaps.

Sin ce Banks' discove ry. thi s reaction has bee n studied at resea rch institution s throughout th e world . resu ltin g in more than 2.000 publicat ions.

As UMR visiting professor of chem ica l engin eerin g April 19-24. Banks enj oyed his longest stay on ca mpus since he left 37 yea rs ago. He was back in 1976 to rece ivc th e honorary professional degree of chemica l cng incer and at 1980 Homecoming when he was a recipient of a UMR/MSM A lumni Ach ieveme nt Awa rd. But thi s time he had tim e to get reacquainted with his alm a mater .

"There have been lots of changes:' he says. "The most obv ious one is the number of student s. especiall y women.

There were onl y three wom en stude nts on ca mpus when I was here. And I li ved in a roomin g house about where the new part of the Universit y Center is built."

One thi ng that hasn 't cha nged. in his opi nion. is th e quality of the students and UMR's emphasis on qual it y ed ucation. In add ition to teaching seve ral classes and lec· tures. Ba nks conferred with facu lt y and st udents and took part in the an nual A lumni·St udent·Facult y Conference. He and his wife, Mildred , also managed to sq ueeze in a golf ga me or two, th e onl y hobby that he says he has time for.

Th is year. Banks has been named a 1981 Chemical Pioneer of the Ame ri ca n Institute of Chemists. The annual award sa lutes chemists who have made contributions that have had a major impact on chemical science and in dust ry

CORRECTION The list of Century Club members in the February "Honor Roll" issue of the Alumnus ommitted one name . We regret the om missia n but are pleased to announce that Robert F. Burns, '47, continued a tradition of several yea rs and was, indeed, a member of the 1980 Cen tury Cl ub.

Music Groups Make Top 10 Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Be ta Sigma. honorary band service fraternity and sorority, respectively, at UMR ha ve been selected among the top 10 chapters in the nation for the 1979-8 1 hiennium.

The selection process was based upon the amount of service each chapter provided to its uni versit y's band program.

Both UM R chapters are now eligible to be se lect ed as the "O ut standin g Chapter" in the nat ion for that two-yea r period .

"We've had one or the other of our chapters in the top 10 for the past 17 years." said Dr. David Oak ley . professor-in-charge of UM R music. "but this is the first time that we've had both of them make it at the same time _" " Included among the man y things that these two organizations do on campus are managing the various junior and senior high school district band festivals and clinics that are held at UMR, setting up displays at orientation and Parents' Day and helping to stage the Campus Performing Arts Series." Oakley sa id .

"They also conduct va rious fund-ra ising projects to help buy eq uipment and cover travel expenses."

The UMR chapter (Delta Gamma) of Kappa Kappa Psi was establ ished in 1958 and the UMR chapter (Delta Xi) of Tau Beta Sigma was founded in 1969.

There are 197 chapters of Kappa Kappa Psi nationwide and 17 5 of Tau Beta Sigma .

Robotic Systems ... New Course at UMR Robot s may have forsaken th e world of science f iction for th e classrooms of the University of Missour i-Rolla, but th e <;cena rio is a far cry from " Star Wars."

For these robots, which are the subject of a spring <;e mes ter class (Computer Science 30 I A "Introduction to Robotic Systems") at UMR , are for industrial use and bear little resemblance to the stereot yped notion of a robot. " I spe nt the first class period clearing up any misconception s th e st udents might have had about th e nature of the <;ubj ec t Illatter." said Dr. Peter Ho, UMR associate pro/"esso r of computer science and course instructor. "These robot s are not at all like what you'd see in 'Star Wars' or read about in a science fi ct ion novel. That's all in the realm or fantasy. We're dealing with reality. " A nd the rea lit y is that these robots are machines that can be programmed to perform task s such as pa in ting, welding and ha za rdous waste disposal. They can do these jobs 24 hours a day in the most hostile environments with tremendous precision and accuracy. This, in turn , will allow industry to increase production and im prove product quality while lowering its costs.

I n addition to introducting students to the world of rohotics. the course also has helped place UMR in a leader<;hip role in the field. " Thi s is the first time that this course has been offered at UM R." Ho sa id, "a nd to my knowledge it's one of the first ,uch courses to be taught in the Midwest. " The course features a genera l discussion of the need for robot s. the economics invol ved and the current state of the art. In addition , students in the course will learn about robotic motion and how to cont rol it th rough computer programs.

According to Ho, student s response to the course has been excel lent. " When I initially proposed the cou rse," he sa id , "I thought I'd probably attract four or five students. So I was quite surprised by the response it received. "

Forty-four students enrolled in the course. and . although a majority of them are computer science majors. 10 electrical engineering, five mechanical engineerin&:-and one engineering mechanics student also signed up. ' Eight other students from various disciplines also have indicated a desire to do research in the field.

"Th is is truly an interdisciplinary course, " Ho said. So many majors--computer science, engineering management , engineerin g mechanics and electrica l, mechanical and aerospace engineering--can benefit from it.

"The response has been very grat ifying to me on a personal level," he added , "and it also shows that our students are aware of the importance of this new and dynamic field and that they feel they need to know something about it."

Recent industrial developments in America and throughout the world underscore the students' feelings on the subject. " Industry already is making some use of robots," Ho sa id, "but the situation is nothing like it will be in 10 yea rs. In that time we will have undergone a ' robot revolution ' that may be more far-reaching in its consequences than the Industrial revolution of a century ago."

"The world's robot population is expected to grow by about 35 percent a year over the next decade." he added , "and we'll also see the development of robots with greater intelligence and sensory capabilities. All thi s will have a major impact on the types of jobs that wi ll be avai lab le."

To ensure that its students will be prepared for those jobs, UMR currently is investigating several possibi li ties for obtaining a robot. Plans call for that robot to be integrated into UMR's new computer graphics system so that students will have the opportunity to do "hands-on" work in computer-aided manufacturing as well as computer-aided design.

"We'll be able to complement our classroom offerings with practical applications in the laboratory." Ho said.

Gabe Skitek, Retires After 38 Years at UMR

In January 194 3, a brand-new graduate of th e University of Missouri-Rolla took a one-semester appointment to teach electrica l engi neering.

T hat semes ter set a pattern of life for Gabri el G. Skitek. professor of electrica l engineering, who will retire next fall after one of the longest periods of service on record at UMR .

"Actually, it all came about because I had an appen dectomy shortly before I was to graduate," Sk itek remembers.

"Like everyone else at UMR in those days, I wa s in ROTC and scheduled to enter the ser vice right afte r gradua ti o n.

Because of t he appendectomy , service was postpo ned for six months and Prof. F rame, head of the department at that time, asked me to teach electrical engineering courses to the military trainees. Before then, I hadn't rea ll y thought about teaching, but I found I liked it and I knew that I wa nted to make teaching my ca reer. " After three years in the service spent as an elect ri ca l engineer in the propeller laboratory at Wright F ield , Dayton , Ohio, Skitek returned to UMR and recei ved his M.S. in electrical engineering here in 195 1. " Gabe," as he is affectionately ca lled by friends and co lleagues, has been an integral part of UMR's electrical engineering department for almost four decades. He has taught literally thousands of electrical engineering students, includ ing some who are sons and daughters of former students.

The professor who likes teaching so much has found that others li ke his teaching, too. Six times he has been se lected for outstanding teaching awards by vote of UMR stu dents and faculty. He has received the MSM/UMR Alumni Association's Meri t A ward for "exemplary devot ion to ' students" and he is t he 1981 recip ient of the education award from the St. Lou is section of the Institute of Electrical and E lectronics Engineers.

Dr. Robert Betten , electrical engineering professor, direc22 / MSM A lumnu s

tor of th e Elec tronics Researc h Center alld former depart ment cha irman , says. " Ga be is rea ll y ail e nf th e great teacher,. The co urses he teaches .. elec tri ca l fields and radio waves-路arc very abstract. but he is ab le to make th e material clea r to his st udents. He rea ll y CCl res ahout his students-hoth in side and outside th e classroom -- anci I know man y have turned to him for perso nal as we ll as academic ad vice ."

H e wa s an inllova tor in o tn er ways. W it h John Brewer. pro fessor cmcr itus of English. he experimented with instruc tional TV on campu s in the ca rly 路60s. He was also one of th e found er,. and for many years was chairm an. of th e So uth Central Mi sso uri Science and Eng ineerin g Fa ir wh ich ohser ved its 25 th an ni versary thi s sp ri ng.

Skitek is a we ll-known representa ti ve of UM R in high schools aroun d the state. and hCls visit ed litera ll y hundreds of hi gh schools fo r ca reer days or to speak to math and science classes.

The ve teran professor may we ll hold t he record for U M R co mmence ments atten ded. For Illore yea rs th at he ca n remembe r. he was chairman of the cOlllmenceme nt committt'e and later th e publ ic occas io ns comillittee. This year he att ended in ano th er capac it y. He wa s honored by the co n路 fer rin g o f the title of professor eme ritu s (effective Sept. I) .

When he put s up his chalk and grade book . th e retired professor w ill still find plent y to keep him busy . H e's looking fo rw ard to th e publication thi s fal l of a tex tbook, "Electromagnetic Co ncep ts and App lica ti ons." whieh he wrote with Dr. Stanley Marshall. associa te professor of electri ca l engineeri ng. He' ll have more tim e for his hobb ies of antiques, ga rdening, stamp co llec ting and woodworking, and for visit ing w ith his fa mil y. The Sk iteks are parents of two children, Jud y (M rs. Ga ry K ell. w ho li ves in Springfield) , and David (an electri ca l engineer who teaches at UMKC), and are th e grandparents of four grandc hildren.

Almost ever y UMR engineeri ng st udent w ho has rece ived a B.S. degree during the past 27 ye ars-- appro ximately 15.000 --e ither knows or has had so me co ntact with Dr. Franklin B. Pauls. profesor of ph ys ics.

Dr . Pauls. w ho wi ll retire thi s September. has bee n teac hin g th e required classes in engi nee rin g physics from the tim e he first came to UMR in 1954. " Th ere were only abo ut 1.400 student s at UMR in 19 54." Dr . Pauls says. "A t that time I was teachin g bot h Ph y~ i cs 23 and Physics 24 and later I directed both program s." (These are recitation courses dea ling with ph ys ics subjec t matter needed by students enrolled in engin ee rin g.1 "Now." he cont inues. "W ith an enrollment of more than 6.000 stud en ts. I'm in charge of onl y the Phys ics 23 pro· gram (the stud y of mechanics. hea t and soundl. It in vo lves ahout 500 stud ent s in 17 sectio ns, and is taught by seve n facult y members each se mes ter. " O th er professo rs now direct th e Physics 24 classes and th e laboratories for hot h courses.

IKel,

In 1936 he enrolled at Bethel Col lege in North NeWlO n.

Kan, __ earni ng his degree in phys i c~ in 1939. H e applied fo r and received an ass istant sh ip at the Universit y of Kentucky and , pent th e nex t two yea rs work in g towa rd his M.A . in ph ys ics. During W orld W ar II. Dr . Pauls was a civilian teacher for th e Army Air Corps 54th D eta chment Springfie ld, Ohio, and se rv ed as an instructor for th e Army Spec iali zed Trainin g Program at th e University of Ken tu ck y. H e stayed at K entucky after the war and received his Ph .D . in ph ysics in 1951. " When we first came to Rolla , the physics department shared th e basement and first fl oor of Norwood Hal l with th e electrica l engi neerin g department." Dr . Pauls says. "A

lot of changes ha ve taken place since th at tim e. In 1958 I began working with the National Science Foundation Sum mer Institute for High School Teachers held here at UMR. Except for the summer of 1960, when I received training on nuclear reactors at Pennsylvania State University , I worked wi th that program each summer until it ended in 1973 . Fro m 1961 through 1963, I served as the first director of UMR's Nuclear Reactor. It was a part-time posit ion at that time. Enrollment was increasing rapidl y then , and I was glad to hand that job over to Dr. Edwa rds' when he joined the faculty in a fulltime nuclear engineering position .

"Oth er major changes included movi ng to a brand new ph ys ics huilding in 1963 then expanding into the physics building add ition in 1968. Oh yes, I became a fu ll professor in 1970."

Another of Dr. Pauls' enthusiasms is photographic slides.

He has record ed most of the family vacat ions, including the Europea n trip, and also has several photographic series on K en tu cky horse farm s, tobacco plantations. and Kansas whea t ranches. But , the most unusual series of all. is a record of th e funeral of th e great Kentucky race horse, Man '0 War. "The horse died while I was at school in Kentucky." he explains. "Beca use the funeral was postponed due to rain. I was ab le to attend on one of my few free aft ernoons. I don't suppose man y peop le ha ve pho tographic records of the funeral of a horse. I've been asked to show th e se ri es to groups a few times. It was an unusual event-but in good taste."

O ther retirement plans include opportunities to ex plore th e arts and crafts areas. He would like to try his hand at painting but think s he'll start out with pencil draw ings. Dr. Pau ls is also interested in developing some volunteer work in teaching. "I've taught all levels--from one room rural schools to Sunday School (the Pauls are members of the C hurch of Ch ri st) to college--and I sti ll enjoy it ," he says. " \ don't think I'll have any trouble finding something to keep me bus y."
