REPORT .. . .. .. .

Com missio n on Modification of Activities :pi!tS

984 988

In response to Preside nt Olson's charge to the campuses of the Universit y, UMR Chancellor Marchello appointed the Commission on Modification of Acti vities. The Commission was requested to examine the Uni versit y's needs, suggest acti vities and priorities, and advise UMR's administration and fac ult y during their planning process.

Since its appointment in March 1982, the Commission has met approximately monthl y. During that period the Commission has been prov ided with substantial backgroun d da ta and has had the opportunit y to meet with teaching and administration personnel, to visit cam pus facilities, and to discuss in detail a broad variety of Uni versit y subjects.

This unique experience has allowed the Commission to become informed about the acti vities and needs of the Uni versit y and campus.

In accorda nce with the purpose of the commission, seven specific recommendations have been prepared . In addit ion, a few observations that have resulted from the study have been doc umented without specific recommendation for action.

RECOMMENDATIONS I.

Continue and increase the emphas is on qua lit y of ed ucation th ro ugh: â&#x20AC;˘ Ma intaining and developi ng specific technica l programs of high national prominence â&#x20AC;˘ Prov iding solid , basic ed uca tion in all tradit ional technica l disciplines wit h special att en tion to lead ing the na tion in the integration of new MSM Alumnus I

technologies early in the education process, e.g., graphics, computer·aided design, and robotics.

2.

3.

4.

Continue student fee increases for engineering studies so that students pay an appropriate share of the cost of an engineering education .

Seek increased state support through enhanced public awareness aimed at demonstrating UMR's value to the stat e. Specific benefits: • The educa tion of resident young people • The supply of graduates to state industry • The improved image of th e state to non-resident industry and individuals.

Use th e public information value of private support of Roll a to indica te; • UM R Administration's successful efforts to control th e burden on state and student • The value of UMR to private fund sources both in state and out of state

5.

Provide th e compensation essential to recruit and retain high-quality facu lty by: • Continuing efforts to close th e faculty sa lary gap betw een UM R and Big 8-Big 10 institution s • Recognizing the differences and mak ing the appropriate adjustments to renect the ex ternal competiti ve forces which dictate different salary sca les between technical and non -technical fields.

Seeking parit y of sa lari es wi th ind ustr y is not recommended , al th ough selecti ve narrowi ng of diffe rences ma y be required.

6.

In crease efforts to pro vide expert teachin g as well as technical ex pertise to th e students. To achieve thi s: • Control of stud ent -facu lty ratios to effecti ve levels should be a maj or objective • More hou rs in the classroom by qual ified faculty should be emphasized • T he sea rch fo r too ls and methods to increase facu lty productivi ty shou ld be intensified.

T he Commission concludes that in th e absence of new, demonstrab ly effective tec hniques to im prove product ivit y, add itional well-q ualified faculty members are req uired for the present stud ent population.

OBSERV AnONS

I.

Provide and maintain adequate faci lities and modern eq uipm ent , which are vita l to effecti ve engineerin g educa tion. Specific emphasis should be placed on: • Providing stat e-of-th e-art eq uipmen t in emergin g technica l fields • Providing new facilities to red uce overcrowdi ng and to red uce obsolesce nt bu ildings.

Recru itin g and reten ti on of both facu lty and student is enhanced by adeq uate facilities and modern equipment.

2 M SM Alumnu s

The

Compi!

UMR has, and should continue to strive for, excellence as a resident campus with its major strength being highquality undergraduate engineering education. Several departments enjoy international prominence and contribute to the perception of Rolla as a leading engineerin g school.

Other departments are major suppliers of engineers who carry with them a reputat ion for sound practical engineering training. Maintaining and enhancing the reputation of UMR as the major center for engineering educat ion in Missouri will be essential to high-technolog y businesses and industries.

Increased prominence for the campus will produce economic return to the entire state over the long term.

Efforts to improve UMR's recognition in secondary schools, business circles, the state legislature, and th e public at large should all be pursued through an effective public information program .

In addition to the primary mission of engineering education, th e supporting humanities and social sciences programs should continue their role in answering the loca l needs for general education beyond th e secondary school level. UMR should increase its capacity to provide ongoing education to pract icing technical persons through programs both on and off th e campus. The programs offered should respond to new and changing technology as well as teaching business and management skills.

Faculty

High-quality facu lty is essential to mai ntaining exce llence in education. The Commission has made recommendati ons rega rding facu lty and offers several other observa ti ons for considera t ion: • T he hours spent in the classroom by experienced and fully qualified facult y are a vita l factor in serv ing th e best interests of stud ents and universit y alike.

• The structure of faculty compensa tion , consisti ng of a base salary plus a variety of "ex tras" for consult ing and research, is incentive for th e more able facult y to spend time ou tside the classroom.

• Adeq uate preca ution must be taken to ensure an appropriate overa ll balance between th e requirements of the compensa tion structure and the need to provide appropri ate levels of st udent contact with qualified faculty.

• T he increase in recent years of cou rses taught by G raduate Teaching Assistants and part -time lecturers wi th less developed classroom skill s and parti cularl y th ose with marginal communicati on skills detracts from ed uca tiona l qualit y.

The expanded student population o f recent years, which has resulted in high student -facult y ratios, ra ises question s concerning U MR 's abi lit y to sus tain it s reputation for qua li ty.

T hese facto rs, coupl ed with increasing cos ts, present a complex staffing problem for U MR. The University is encouraged to continue to seek means to promote and reward excellence in teach ing via added compensa tion , awards, and teaching bonuses for outstanding perform ers.

Special attention is needed to moti va te qualified engineering under-graduat es to continue tow ard higher ed u ca~ion degrees. Experience uggests facult y encouragement plays a maj or pa rt in such decisions. A facu lt y member's effecti veness in stimulatin g student pursuit of advanced degree should be recognized.

From the Commi ssion's deliberation on th e future needs for engineers and its att empt to prof ile tomorrow's engineering graduates, several general conclusions evolved: Th e development of new engineerin g tools such as • th e computer does not dim inish th e necessity for a stron g fo undation in engineerin g basics.

• N everth eless, skill in th e use of the new too ls must be acq uired to achieve th e producti vit y potential necessar y to compete fo r f uture engineeri ng employment.

• Communica tion sk ills, histori call y a problem for engineers, will be in creasingl y import ant in tran slating th e engineer's com puter enhanced output for use in the ma nagement decision process.

• The Pro fess ional Development Degree seems inconsistent with the objec ti ves of more emphasis in basic engineerin g educa tion and the development of skill s in the use of new tools and compromises th e emphasis on high-qualit y education.

The Commi ssion did not draw a final conclusion regarding societ y's fut ure needs for engineering grad uates, believing thi s to be a reflection of changing demands in a free enterprise system. However, the Commission did note with gratificat ion th at U MR students toda y are eager to learn , in telligent , and hardworking. M os t entering freshmen ra nk in th e top fifth of their high school class, brin g a stronge r base in math ematics and science fro m high school than ever before, and pro vide excellent material for moldin g capable graduates and contributors to society.

b)

me illsand lica tion

A research effort supporting an effecti ve graduat e tud y program is essential in attrac tin g and retaining good fac ult y.

Research also serves as a sou rce of fun ds, contributes by enhanci ng facult y technical know ledge, and assists in

obtaining th e modern laborato ry equi pment necessar y for th e educat ion mission.

Effort s to enha nce faculty qua lit y th ro ugh use of Curator Pro fessorships for recruit ing lead ing scientists should be increased. Focused , long-range effort s to develop worldwide leadershi p in specific engineering disciplines should be continued , building to the extent possible upon ex isting strength s and reputati on. T hese effort s should enhance U MR 's ab ilit y to prov ide first-ra te engineerin g education and help retain fo r M issouri th e state's leading college candidates.

Steps should be taken by the Adm inistra ti on to ensure a health y ba lance be tween U M R's resea rch effort and its maj or function of under-graduate education. Th e ratio of graduate stu dents to facu lty appears lower th an is required to support an effecti ve research program .

Caution should be exercised to prevent undue fragmentat ion of research programs into re lati vely unrelated pockets of experti se. T he Resea rch Institut es provide a good opport uni ty for interdiscip linary tra nsfer of knowl edge and shou ld be continued. Long-term faculty assignment to th e I nstitutes, however, may become counterprod uct ive to the ed ucat ional mission and should be reassessed periodically .

5.

Equipment and Facilities

T he rap idly changing techno logy in all aspects of engineeri ng and the age of UMR's teach ing and laboratory equi pment have produced a critical situat ion. Budget red uctions in recent years have fo rced cu rtailm ent of eq uipment purchased below the level necessary to main tain the eq uipmen t essential to good engineering ed uca ti on. This must be corrected, and significant additional funds are req uired.

Th e Commission is convinced that th e three present ly planned buildings (Mineral Engineering, Engineerin g M anagemen t, and Audi torium/Music/A lu mni) are required now to mee t the current needs at Rolla. Well-developed plans are availab le and immediate go-ahead is recommended.

6.

Ge neral O bservations

While this Comm ission fu ll y recognizes the implications of limited state revenues, we believe M issouri may be shortchanging its cit izens by not investing adequately in its human resources. The key ro le that ed uca ti on of Missourians can play in creating loca l employ ment opport uni ties and in upgrading the workforce needs greater emphasis. Major long-term benefits in sta nda rds of living, qualit y of life , and increased State reve nues to provide im proved social serv ices for Missouri citizens are realistic expecta ti ons from a focus on educat ional quality by the State. T he Com mission urges the Adm inistrati on, the legislatu re, and all engaged in th e alloca ti on of resources to recogn ize th e long-term benefits of investing an increasing proport ion of St ate revenues to improve higher educa tion in M issou ri .

1983 Elderhostel "The World of Computers"

"So that's how computers workl" says Gale Bullman , wife of UMR's late athlet ic director. Gale is an enthusiastic part icipant in UMR Elderhostel programs.

UM-Rolla, participating in a nationwide Elderhostel program, will offer a series of three courses June 5-11 on the impact of computers on today's world.

Elderhostel is a program which invites people over the age of 60 to the campus for three non-credit courses (with no homework or testing). Participants live and eat in a residence hall , and take advantage of on-campus and offcampus extracurricular opportunities. The program is also available to those who live in the Rolla area and prefer to participate on a commuter basis.

In this summer's, computer courses, Dr. Arlan DeKock , acting chairman of the computer science department, will explain the practical basics in "Of Bits and Bytes"; Dr. Carol Ann Smith, associate professor of philosophy, wi ll discuss philosophic questions about machine intelligence in "Minds and Machines"; and Dr. Kate Hayles, assistant professor of English, will explore computers in "Literature for a Cybernetic Age."

: Arch

"Computers--what they are and what they do--are sometimes bewildering and incomprehensible to those with no regular contact or training in the field ," said Dr . .Jane

Uebelhoer, instructor in humanities and director of the 1983 Elderhostel program at UMR. "UMR is offering these courses because of the prominent place of computers today and the rapidity with which they are becoming a part of everyday life and moving into the home. These UMR courses will offer participan,ts a blend of computer science department and Computer Center experts and humanities departmen t faculty whose research interests lie in technological areas," she said.

A fee of $180 will cover the week of housing, meals and all three courses for those enrolling in the residential program. For those taking the courses on a commuter basis the fee is $73.95.

The nationwide Elderhostel program is offered at 634 colleges and universities throughout the country. Nine campuses in Missouri offer Elderhostel programs with a variety of courses at different times throughout the summer.

The

Swimmers Finish 9th in NCAA Division II Nationals The University of Missouri-Rolla swimm ing tea m completed an outstanding season March 19, placing ninth overall in the NCAA Division II Nati onals held March 16-19 at Long Beach, Ca lif.

Six Miners also ga ined ind ividua l AIIAmerica n recognition, making the 198 2-83 season one for coach Bob Pease to be proud of. " It was a fi ne show ing," Pease sa id of the national exposure. "On ly two of the 12 kids we sent are sen iors (Don Harvey and Mike Shive) , so we have a great deal of ex perience coming back next year."

UMR 's All-A mericans are as follow s: Chris Aria, sophomore from Huntsvi lle, Ala. -- med ly relay , and both the 100 and 200 backstrokes. Aria set vars ity records in al l three events; Paul

Pericich, fres hman from St. Louis -- 100 and 200 backstrokes; Ed Krygier, junior from Highland, Ind. -- 200 backstroke; Derek Coon, freshman from Carmel, Ind. -- medl y relay and 100 and 200 backstroke; Dayid Wisdom, sophomore from Florissant -- med ly relay and a varsit y- record-setting performance in the 100 butterfl y: and Arthur Hoyater, freshman from Huntsvi lle, Ala. -- medly relay.

Miners who qua lified for nationals. but did not ga in Al l-american sta tus, were Jo hn Staley, Don Havey, Scott Carney, Mark Wuttig, Mike Shive and Craig Erzen.

"We hoped to do a little bette r at nationals, but started off very poor ly and had to fi ght our way back among the leaders," Pease sa id. "We were shut

out the firs t da y of compe tition , but ca me back to finish 9th overall . so I was happy with the rally."

"Dinsdale was All-American last season, and seems to be improving with lO / M SM A lumnus

each outing," Mercier sa id. "He has the skill. the conce nt ra tion a nd poise to be one of the top golfers in the area this season."

Besides Dinsdale, Mercier looks for several newcomers to lend a hand this season.

Mercier sees a tight MIAA race, wi th

Central Missouri being the team to beat.

"But if we play the way we are capable of, I think we can be right there with them," he said. " Hopefully our game will im prove drastically on familiar courses."

" Mo.

Universit y of Missouri-Rolla men and women 's tennis coach Paul McNally is hopeful the last few seasons of competition will begin to pay dividends for the Miners in 1983.

Both squads boast some ve teran performers and some talented newcomers, as each team aims for a so lid showing in the April 22-23 MIAA Tournament held in Maryville, Mo. "We started out the season slowly, losing at the Northeast Missouri Indoor Invitational and dropping a match to Southwest Missouri State, before rebounding with a 9-0 win over Evangel College," McNally said. The team then finished 10th out of 15 teams in a very tough South Arkansas Invitational, but I feel this early schedule will prepare us for the conference meet."

The ladies started the season defeating Southwest Baptist 6-3 , and McNally is optimistic about the upcoming matches.

"There is a great deal of interest this year in the program , and I feel the last couple of seasons have served us well," he said. "For the first time, I fee l we can make some type of mark on the MIAA ."

Lady Miners Join MIAA Conference University of Missouri-Rolla softball coach Sarah Preston is hopeful a veteran team will help make this season's transition into the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association a smooth one.

Competing in the NCAA Division II this year the Miners face five Division I foes and five MIAA opponents.

Coming off an 11-1 8 season in 1982, Preston feels her current squad will be solid in most facets of the game.

"We have six seniors on the team and eight starters returning from last year," she noted . "With some of the pre-season preparations and added emphasis on our hitting attack, I really look for the Miners to pick up offensively this year."

UMR hit .253 as a team in 1982, with 14 homers, eight triples and 21 doubles

in 29 games.

The Miners started out their season with a Florida trip March 12-17.

However, bad weather allowed UMR to play only three games of the scheduled eight contests. The Lady Miners won two and lost one in the Panama City action.

"Our top four hitters from last season are back, so we have experience at the plate," she said. "Outfielder Stephanie Kutterer led the team with a .311 average, with third baseman Diana Miller hitting an even .300. Center fielder Carmen Baker (.292) and catcher Anita Tikey (.274) both are talented enough to improve on their averages as well."

Other top returnees are team Most Va luable Player Cecilia Gutierrez at second base, Judy Redel at shortstop, pitchers Le ta J udd and Susan Appelbaum and first baseman Maria Holmes.

Baseball Miners Face Tough Schedule A game schedule including seven games in Florida and a three-game series against NCAA Division I runner-up Wichita State highlight the 1983 baseball season for the University of Missouri -Rolla.

UM R coac h Chu ck Bro yles is ca utiously optimistic about this year's squad, as seve n sta rters and six pitchers from last yea r's group retu rn.

"This will be more of a veteran-type club than we ha ve had in some time," Broyles said. "We will have a tough sc hedu le, playing Division I teams like Wich ita Sta te, Valparaiso, Western Illinoi s, So uthwest Misso uri and Mizzou, but hopefull y we will be strong enough to mee t the challenge."

Leading the list of Miner returnees are all -MIAA selections Craig Thomas, Tom Mur phy and Jeff Mer rell . Thomas was UMR's Most Va luab le Pla yer last yea r, hitting .329 from his center fie ld post. He led the squad in six offensive categories. Murphy hit .333 and pla yed we ll defensively in left field , while Me rrell hit .350 as a designated hi tterout fielder, leading the team wit h four homers and 27 RBI's.

Among the top newcomers in 1983 will be a pair of transfer stude nts who could bolster the Miner pitching staff quick ly.

Sophomore left-hander Brad Lee brings some ex perience to the staff from the Un iversity of Evansvi lle, while righthander Mike Stone comes to the Miners from Southwest Missouri State. In 15 ga mes for the Bears last season, Stone had a 3.73 ERA , with 29 strikeouts in only 31.1 innings pitched.

The fastest player on this year's tea m will be Ja y Todd , a product of Cape Central's solid prep program. Freshma n outfielder Joe Schnefke also wi ll battle for some playing time after grabbing allconference honors at three positions last yea r in Belle ville, III. Miner football player Brian Bradley rounds out the newcomers, seeking action on the mound.

The Miners will once aga in compete in the MIAA's Sou thern Division wi th the Universit y of Missouri-St. Louis, Southeast Missouri and Lincoln Uni versit y. The Miners were third in the division in 1982 with a 5-7 record.

MR footba ll players Bob Pressly, left , and Randy Hauser were honored recently as Academ ic AllAmericans by the College Sports Informat ion Directors of America (CoSIDA). Both seniors served as cocaptains on last year's team , and were all-conference players at defensive ta ck le a nd defensive end , respectivel y.

Alumni Section NeVtls _ _ _ __ ARK·LA· TEX Section The Ark-La-Tex Section of the MSMUMR Alumni Association held its fall meeting in Longview, Texas February 5. A total of 25 alums and guests attended, braving rains and the threat of icy roads.

After a brief social period, a pleasant dinner was served. With the meal out of the way, Section President Walt Mulyca welcomed everyone to the meeting and called on Mark Herzog for a report.

Herzog told the assembled members that the Section would remain in the black after this meeting. Much applause

followed his announcement.

Mulyca next called on special guest Larry Allen , assistant director, alumni activities, who had driven from Rolla to join the meeting. After telling the group how happy he was to be with them for the meeting, Allen explained the organization of the Office of Alumni/Development at UMR. He then told the group of the record year the Association had in 1982 and of changes to the scholarship program scheduled for next year.

Allen's talk was shortened by the boisterous arrival of the Ace Canyon

Band, whose sounds led many of the aluOls and their guests to the dance floor for a night of partying.

Present for the meeting were: John and Eileen Livingston, '39; Ragan and Evelyn Ford, '23; Mark and Rose Herzog, '74; Walt and Anne Mu lyca, '65; Basil and Clydelle Compton, '39; Florence Flesh, Mr. and Mrs. Roland A.

AIME Meeting¡ Atlanta There may have only been 43 alums, wives and friends signing at the door, but for those attending the 1983 A.I.M.E. Convention in Atlanta, it seemed that at least 100 Miners made it to the Alumni Reception.

Rumor has it that even one UMC grad, of all things, snuck into the reception claiming to represent the Missouri Geological Survey. In any event, alums present represented a broad spectrum of age groups all intermingling in what some said was the best convention

reception in many a year.

The recently renovated lecture hall (Room G-3) in the Walter T. Schrenk Chemistry-Chemical Engineering Building has been named the Monsanto Lecture Hall in recognition of the company's assistance in the renovation effort, according to Dr. James W. Johnson, chairman of the UM-Rolla chemical engineering department.

"Monsanto has been an important source of technical assistance for the campus for a number of years and has been very supportive . of UMR's engineering science programs," Johnson said. "The renovation of this lecture hall gives us what amounts to a new facility, and we're grateful to Monsanto for its assistance "Monsanto participates in UMR's Cooperative Training Program and has employed a great many UMR alumni

over the years," he continued. " In fact, Monsanto is the single largest employer of UMR chemical engineering graduates in the United States with 122 of our alumni presently employed there."

Work done on the lecture hall includes: the installation of new furniture for the demonstration of chemistry experiments, new sound and lighting systems, a new ceiling , a new chalkboard system, and new seating.

According to Johnson, the renovation of the lecture hall will benefit more than just chemistry and chemical engineering students at UMR. "All engineering and science students at UMR are required to take general chemistry ," he explained, "and many of those students will take that course in the Monsanto Lecture Hall."

The economics program at UM-Rolla was mentioned in a recent article in the "American Economic Review" on economics programs at American colleges and universities.

The article cited the total number of pages published in the top 24 economics journals by each department's faculty members during 1974-78, as well as the total pages per faculty member published during the same period.

"In both categories, we outranked a number of better-known economic departments, some of which have Ph.D. programs," said Dr. Christopher Garbacz , associate professor of economics at UM-Rolla. "Given the relatively small size of our program and our limited resources, I think we made an excellent showin~."

UM-Rolla offers bachelor of science and bachelor of arts degrees in economics. There is an emphasis area in economic/business available in the bachelor of science sequence of study.

Spring Enrollment Is 7,091 The official enrollment for the 1983 spring semester at UM-Rolla totals 7,091.

On-campus enrollment is 6,418, and there are 138 co-op students in their offcampus work semester, 471 at the UMR Engineering Center in St. Louis and 64 in off-campus extension programs.

The total enrollment is 160 more than during the spring semester last year and gains were reported in UMR's schools and college.

The School of Engineering with 4,077 students, has 68 more than last year; the College of Arts and Sciences' figure of 1,261 is 65 above last year; and the School of Mines and Metallurgy with 1,044 shows an increase of seven. The UM R Engineering Center in St. Louis shows a gain of 36.

Nelson Rivera-Berrios is currently an art specialist in the Skill Developmen t Center, Fort Leonard Wood, Mo., where he teaches techniques in graphics, pain ting, drawing and photography. He has recently exhibited his "Camera less Graphics" color prints at the Springfield Art Museum. These large sca le cameraless photographs are produced by projecting various translucent materials and textu res to the surface of sensit ized photographic paper. Materials such as thin paper, glass, pigment and aerosols produce a wide range of textural effects.

These projected materials produce the oposite of their original hue. Nelson says, "The materials are cut, fo lded, mutilated and painted, and produce on the sensitized paper fresh, vibrant designs that satisfy the most recondite graphic jUdgment." While the method may be somewhat new, Rivera-Berrios' prints restate the old concept of the "non-objective" in art , as established by Malev ich , Rodchenko, Rudolf Bauer and Vasily Kandinsk y. The non· objective painters also worked with crisp geometric shapes, lines and textures. Nelson has also exhibited at UM R and Fort Wood. He lives in St. Robert.
