Twenty-nine members of the Class of '1933 returned to campus May 14-15 for the 50th anniversary of their graduation. Highlight of the Golden Reunion was participation in the II0th Annual Commencement ceremonies held Sun· day afternoon on Jackling Field. It's a good thing the photo isn't in color because most of the participants were blue--it was a bit cold and windy for a mid·May day. Despite the weather, nearly 800 graduates and 29 50-year graduates were smiling and happy to take part in the afternoon's events. It was a particularly big weekend for the Golden Alumni--see article inside.

Golden Alumni .. Class of 1933 From the opening event on Friday evening··a buffet dinner at the Chancellor's Residence hosted by Joseph and Louise Marchello-·to the final cocktail party on Sunday evening at Club '33··the 50th anniversary for members of the Class of 1933 was a celebration of a lifetime. In addition to the renewal of old friendships, the weekend included tours of Rolla and the campus (by bus), a
luncheon, a brunch, a banquet and numerous social hours in the Club '33 hospitality room at Zeno's Motel where most of the participants were staying. Highlight of the weekend, however, was marching in the academic preocession (clad in appropriate robes), and being recognized as an honored group at the UMR 110th Annual Commencement on Sunday afternoon.

Robert M. Brackbill, Chairman of the board of Texas Pacific Oil Co. is a native of St. Louis, Mo. At MSM he was a member of Sigma Nu, the Athletic Association, Blue Key, the St. Pat's Board, . Student Council and served on the Miner Board. He earned his B. S. in mining enfiineering (petroleum option) in 1942, completed a management course at the Arden House Campus of Columbia University in 1965 and was awarded the professional degree of petroleum engineer by UMR in 1969. He was manager of engineering for Shell Oil when he left the company in 1965 to become Vice president of the Texas Pacific Company.
Robert M. Brackbill, '52, speaks to graduates and guests
110th UMR Annual Commencement Address .... It was suggested that this address be entitled, "The Full Circle", and that I briefly discuss --- Why I came to Rolla; What I got; What I did not get; Where I went after graduation; and lastly, Why I came back . Why I Came ... .1 came to learn about engineering and geology. I was already motivated, I had mechanical skills, and I guess I thought I was creative and innovative. I wanted to find and produce oil. The School of Mines and Metallurgy enjoyed a reputation throughout industry around the world for the quality of its graduates. This, together with the school's willingness to help me find campus employment, made Rolla an obvious choice. A choice, I shall never regret. While my life has not always enjoyed the bright sun and blue sky, and it has not always been smooth and peaceful, each year has been better, more rewarding and happier than the previous year. I pray each of you will enjoy the same experience. What I Got I learned sound engineering fundamentals. I was exposed to hands-on experience. I became familiar with my chosen profession and I was identified with a school whose earlier graduates earned a reputation for technical excellence and managerial ability. I established friendships that have endured for 45 years. I learned that hard work can often supplement mentality for those of us not blessed with superior intelligence. What I Did Not Get This might best be demonstrated by an experience I had several years ago. Cay, my wife, has influenced my appreciation for opera. One night while visiting with a
classmate, Bill, and his wife, we mentioned that we were going to the opera. His wife immediately asked if we could be kind enough to allow them to accompany us so that Bill could be exposed to opera. We had extra tickets and asked them to join us. It was an outstanding performance that earned lengthy applause and many loud bravos_ When the audience began to leave, I said, "Well Bill, What did you think of itT' He said, "Fine, now that I have had my 'couth', can we go get drunk?! "
... .1 am pleased that you now have a College of Arts and Science. One you should be proud of. The School of Engineering and the School of Mines and Metallurgy have always been capable of meeting the ever-changing technical demands of our society . Today, however, it requires more than just the technical know-how to deal with the social demands of our nation and our world. A liberal culture is necessary for today's science and engineering graduates. If you are to be leaders you must command the respect of those around you. You must learn to communicate better with others_ ... .It is unfortunate that the National Commission on Excellence in Education's recent report indicates that the high school and some universities have gone too far and allowed the liberal arts to become ultra-liberalism. Can you imagine a course in bachelor living? It would eliminate the great joy of hands-on experience_ Something this institution is famous for. Hopefully , this report will stimulate Americans to do something soon to improve the cause of the committee's frightening observations. I would hope Missourians keep their priorities straight and build the Mineral Engineering Building before spending money on recreational facilities_ MSM Alumnus17
Where I Went ....Shortly after the war was over, I returned to working in the oil fields doing the kind of work I loved. In a short time I was supervising others. Without training, without experience, I was a manager. Through the years, I have heard many young graduates say that they wanted to do things with their hands, they wanted to work in the field. This 'want' is fulfilled after a few years and then they want to be the supervisor -- to be the boss. Unfortunately, as in my case, few are prepared. Management skills can be tought, but leadership is earned . It is much like finding happiness. You can't achieve happiness by aiming at it directly. If you aim at having a useful life, you might discover some day that you are living a happy one. I guess that is what happened to me. I never aimed for management, I never searched for happiness. I have obtained both. Probably because I did the best I could at every job I had, and with God's help, everything else just came naturally.
Why I Am Back Some 30 years ago, while working in New York, I joined a small alumni group. I started returning for Homecoming. New business and personal relationships were established. I became a member of the Alumni Board of Directors during the period we initiated the Alumni Scholarship Programs. I return now so I can help do for others what was done for me by the faculty , by my fraternity brothers, and by the many wonderful residents of Rolla.
Where Do We Go From Here You are graduating at a time when the recession is ending and jobs are not yet plentiful. Many of you are
probably still seeking employment. Others of you have accepted employment in jobs somewhat different that you had planned. .. ..Whatever you do, do it better and hustle faster than anybody else. Strive for excellence. Soon you will develop greater wisdom. ....This economic recovery from our recession will be different. An assortment of obstacles might delay Smoke Stack America's recovery. Some of the jobs industry created in the past may be gone forever. Some U.S. manufacturers can no longer compete with foreign competitors. This is so because of the over-valued dollar, the high cost of capital, our high labor costs, and government regulations.
f
.... Hopefully, America will re-direct its economic power. We will join our human and financial resources. We will utilize our basic industrial know-how with the emerging technologies. We will, in time, re-build Smoke Stack America. UMR graduates have technical knowledge and skills. Many of you are familiar with computer design and robotics. You are well equipped to find and produce raw material, to develop new technology, and to design and manage the facilities of tomorrow. The position you will soon fill may be somewhat different than the one you trained for. Be flexible, you have the kind of education that few others have and each of you is well prepared to compete in the rapidly approaching high-tech culture. .... Good luck, God bless you, and may each of you dedicate yourself to excellence and soon find great satisfaction in your chosen profession. Perhaps Albert Einstein offered the ultimate advice to a graduating class when he said: "Try not to become a man of success but rather to become a man of value."

We have all heard about how big everything is in Texas. Apparently, the Houston Area Section of the MSM¡ UMR Alumni Association started most of those stories. At least that is the inference that can be drawn from their March 12 St. Pat's Celebration. St. Pat was greeted in Houston by 126 loyal alums, spouses and friends including Rolla's own Frank and Martha Gerig. Martha is secretary of the Association. This is the first party to be held after a general organization meeting in January. A lot of people devoted time and effort to its organization, among them Paula Hudson Bradley, Greg Wayne and the husband/wife team of Randy and Sharon Bissey. It is clear that everyone's hard work paid off with this fine attendance. Seven lucky Miners walked away from the meeting with st. Pat or UMR finery. Those persons wearing the oldest sweatshirt, button and garter received new versions of the same. In addition, two additional St. Pat's sweatshirts and two UMR baseball caps were awarded as door prizes. The Section is now making plans for a "Rolla Unlimited Beer Happy Hour" that all Houston Area alums are urged to attend. Those attending the St. Pat's party were:

On March 19, we celebrated the 75th Anniversary of St. Pat's in grand style with a very suc· cessful party at the San F rancisco ho~e of Kay and Jerry Littlefield . St. Pat himself interceded a nd gave us a one· day respite from the rains. Some 43 alumni and wives or girlfriends from all around the Bay con· sumed a pony of beer . and then some, ate a great BBQ dinne r, sang a few songs, met old friends, and lots of new ones, too. Next year's pictures will be
much better now that we know who the camera buffs are. A typical Miners' election rode the following alum's into office for '83·'84: David Peacock (,64), president; Warren Hooks (,58), vice president; and Jerry Littlefield (,58) , secretary. This erstwhile group will be looking for ideas for a Fall '83 activity. Give them a hand. Bob, David, Warren, Jerry and Dennis and Barbara Wells all pitched in to make this party a success.

Southern California Section Our St. Pat's Railroad Party meeting in San Juan Capistrano, was successful even though the train from the North was an hour late, and the small town was busting at the seams with activity. Our meeting was scheduled so that we would arrive a week after "The Swallows Came Back". We didn't realize that there was a "Week after the Swallows Came Back Parade". As poorly conceived as it seems, the event is a huge success. It's almost like 10,000 people were just waiting for an excuse to have a celebration, and what a celebration it was---a Rolla St. Pat's it was. Sidewalk parties, and curbside music, and kegs of beer being rolled around in baby carriages. The only difference, the weather was 78 , clear and beautiful, and the girls were in shorts and halters. In keeping with the theme of our

Foristell, Mo., won the M-Club's vote as the top "Gentleman-Athlete" on the UM-Rolla campus. The award is named for the former Miner coach and athletic director. "Pete is one of the nicest young men I have ever known," said UMR track coach Dewey Allgood. "He is a real leader and an inspiration to all of his teammates." M-Club President Anita Tikey, presenting the award, quoted Lichtenwalner's roommate: "Pete is such a nice person, that he gets up every morning with a smile on his face---and means it!" UMR softball and cross country coach Sara Preston was honored as the "Coach-of-the-Year," given credit for pioneering both varsity sports for women at the university. Other top recipients were John Gallaway, winner of the Burr Van Nostrand Award as top male intramural athlete and Cindy Knapstein, winner of a savings bond from McDonald's as top female athlete in the UMR intramural program. Individual sport MVP's were as follows: Baseball--Miner first-baseman DJ . Steagall paced the team with a .395 average. Basketball (Men)--Curtis Gibson led the Miners and the MIAA in scoring with a 20.5 average. Basketball (W omen}--Gail Halsey was credited as the team's top defensive performer and hustler. Cross Country (Men}--Jeff Peterson consisten tly was at the top of the Miner time charts last season. Cross Country (Women)--Jan Hierholzer was the top performer, becoming the first woman fro m UMR to ever qualify for national competition. She finished 40th in that event. Football--Dennis Pirkle was the team's MVP on offense, finishing an impressive collegiate career with a 58 per-
cent completion rate on his passes in four years. Bob Pressly, with 17 quarterback sacks in his tenure, was the team's MVP at defensive tackle. Golf--Kent Dinsdale won his third straight MVP award after qualifying for nationals the third straight year. He also tied a course record at Oak Meadow Country Club with a 6-under-par 64 on a rain-soaked course. Rifle--Squad captain Greg Hardy was honored for his excellent season. Softball--Dianna Miller paced the team in many departments, was a leader on and off the field and one of the Miners' most versatile performers. Soccer (Men}--Mike Shillito helped the Miners attain national ranking at one point during the season, was UMR's MVP and a first-team MIAA selection. Soccer (Women}--Chris Waeckerle was UM-Rolla's top fema le soccer player, leading the women to their best record yet. Swimming-- Chris Aria, one of six UMR All-America ns, was named MVP. He set school records in the 1~O-ya rd backstroke and the 200-yard backstroke' events, while competing at nationals. Tennis (Men}--Dave Bruner finished fourth in MIAA singles competition and helped the team itself gain fourth place in the league tournament. Tennis (Women)--Laurie Behm was third in the MIAA Tourney and was the Miners' number one si ngles player all season.

UMR sophomore Mark Galliardt didn't break the school record in the discus. He shattered it! A transfer from Hutchinson (KanS;liS) Junior College, Galliardt finished third in the May 6-7 MIAA Championships at Central Missouri State, qualified for the May 26-28 NCAA Division II Nationals at Southeast Missouri State in the process, and broke a Miner discus record that withstood challenge for 15 years. Galliardt fired the discus 165 feet, four inches, after unleashing some tosses over 170 feet in practice. The conference performance bested the old UMR mark of 151 feet, two and onehalf inches with plenty of room to spare. "He did a great job, had himself physically and mentally prepared, and represented UMR well," said coach Dewey Allgood. "Mark and John Borthwick really caught some people's eyes with their performances." Brothwick, only a freshman, broke the UMR record in the 800 Meter Run with a time of 1:54.29. The old mark was I :55.25. His performance was good enough for second in the MIAA, less than two seconds behind the leader. Other top Miner performances were: Rick Welsh's fourth-place finish in the 400 Meter Intermediate Hurdles (55.0), Thadeus Proctor's sixth place in the high jump (21 feet, 2 inches), Chris Henry's sixth place in the pole vault (13 feet, six inches), Tim Shoenecker's sixth place in the 400 Meter Dash (49.98).

Dinsdale to Nationals For the third consectutive year, UMR's Kent Dinsdale represented the Miners in the NCAA Division II Golf Championships. Playing at the Speidel Golf Course in Wheeling, W.V., May 17-21, Dinsdale finished 55th among the field of 75 . After the second day of the 72-hole event, he was 25th. "The course was real tough, and Kent
couldn't rebound from the 87 he shot the third day," said UMR coach Bud Mercier. "He finished with a four-day total of 326, firing rounds of 80-76-87-83." Rick Hercules of Northeast Missouri State was the only other MlAA golfer in the competition, finishing in a tie for 57th with a 331 . In the regular season, Dinsdale, a junior, did it all for the Miners again. His proudest moment came April 29-30 during the UMR Best Ball Tournament. In terrible conditions due to standing water, Dinsdale fired a 64 to tie the course record at Rolla's Oak Meadow Country Club. "It was an amazing thing to see," Mercier said of Dinsdale's performance. "That is a great score in perfect conditions, but with all the water involved, it was really remarkable." Dinsdale helped UMR attain a thirdplace finish in the MIAA Tournament, held May 5-6 in Blue Springs, Mo. UMR's 640 total trailed tourney winner Central Missouri (614) and Northeast Missouri (623). Teammate Joe Dan Lanning paced the Miners with a two-day total of 155, gaining all-conference honors. Dinsdale was next at 158, followed by Jerry Daves-166, Gary Pohl-167 and Kevin Roney-167 .
Miners Place pair on MIAA Baseball Team Four members of the UMR baseball team garnered individual honors recentlyon the MlAA All-Conference teams. Mike Schafer, who raised his average 198 points from a season ago, finished the season with a .340 average as designated hitter. He was named to the MlAA First-Team, becoming the only player in the league to be so honored in two sports. Schafer paced the MlAA in rushing, and was a member of the football first-team. Craig Thomas also gained baseball first-team honors from his centerfield position, batting .307 in UMR's 26-game slate. The hustling senior led
the Miners in runs scored, was second in RBI's and was credited by coaches around the league for his smart play in the outfield. UMR's Most Valuable Player, firstbaseman D.1. Steagall, was placed on the second-team. He paced the Miners with a .395 average, led the team in homers, RBI's and doubles. Third-sacker Kevin DeBondt was named to the honorable mention list, hitting .271 and committing only five errors during the season. "We lost quite a few close games, and had a real tough schedule," said manager Chuck Broyles. "These four players honored by the league did an outstanding job for us, and were leaders the entire season." The highlight of UMR's season came April 21, when the Miners shut out Division I Southwest Missouri State, 1-0. UMR was the only team to blank the highly-touted Bears in 1983.
Softball Miners Improve Hitting UMR's women's softball team ended their first season in the MIAA with a strong finish, logging a 5-7 conference record and an 8-16 overall mark. The squad, despite the sub-.500 record, finished second in the league in hitting, a big improvement over a year ago. "We hit .260 as a team, and that was the aspect of our game that really pleased me," said coach Sarah Preston. "Errors plagued us, but we still had an exciting season." UM-Rolla finished fifth in the MIAA tournament, losing 10-1 to Central Missouri, defeating Lincoln University 20-1 and then being eliminated 7-4 by UM-St. Louis. Individual honors for the season went to Carmen Baker and Cecilia Gutierrez, who finished on the MIAA AllConference Second-Team at centerfield and second base, respectively. Dianna Miller gained honorable mention honors in leftfield, and was named UMR's Most Valuable Player at the All-Sports Banquet May 2. MSM Alumnus / 17

UMR Team Places Third in Notional Competition A team of seven mining engineering students placed third in the fifth annual Intercollegiate M ining Competition, which was held recently at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colo. The UMRolla team, which was sponsOf(~d by the UMR student chapter of the American Society of Mining Engineers (SME), competed against teams from 14 other universities in the United States and Canada that have mining engineering departments. The competition featured contests that tested the participants' proficiency in such traditional mining skills as: hand steeling of blast holes with a steel bit and an eight-pound hammer, machine drilling of blast holes with a jack leg drill, bow sawing of eight-inch by eight-inch
mine timbers, laying a section of rail spiked to ties and hand mucking or shoveling broken rock into a mine railcar. Depending upon the event, the teams were judged either on the basis of how quickly they completed various operations or how much progress they were able to make within a given time. The winning team in the competition takes possession of a traveling trophy for a year and hosts the next year's competition. Dr. Norman Smith, UMR associate professor of mining engineering and adviser to the UMR chapter of SME, accompanied the team to Colorado. Troy Harris, supervisor of UMR's experimental mine, served as team coach.

the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. The honorees are: Dr. Charles 1. Haas, professor of mining engineering and senior research investigator in UMR's Rock Mechanics and Explosives Research Center, Rolla; Dr. James 1. Scott, UMR Class of '50 (mining engineering), adjunct professor of mining engineering at UMR and president of Scott's MTS, Inc., Rolla; and Cecil Bailie, UMR Class of '47 (mining engineering), retired vice president of engineering for SOHIO--Old Ben Coal Co., Benton, Ill. The awards were presented at a banquet celebrating the diamond jubilee of the UW-Platteville School of Engineering.
UMR's Kluczny Delegate to China Dr. Raymond M. Kluczny, UM-Rolla associate professor of engineering management, was chosen to serve as one of 34 delegates on a People-ToPeople International visit to the People's Republic of China April 22-May 13. People-To-People sent the delegation to Mainland China to exchange information about computer software production, reliability, assurance and maintenance with Chinese educators, government officials and other organization personnel involved in the highly technical field. Kluczny, who is in his fourth year as a member of the UMR faculty, teaches courses on management information systems and prepared presentations of software maintenance and decision support systems for the Chinese audiences. People-To-People International is a citizen ambassador program headquartered in Spokane, Wash. Since its inception in 1956, delegations such as this one have traveled to almost every area of the world with the purpose of promoting good will and understanding, while exchanging ideas with people from other countries who have professional interests similar to their own.
UMR Faculty Elected To Rolla MSPE Offices The Rolla Chapter of the Missouri Society of Professional Engineers recently elected several UM-Rolla faculty members to serve in various positions during 1983-84. Newly elected officers are UM-Rolla Chancellor Joseph M. Marchello, president-elect, and Dr. Nicholas Tsoulfanidis, UMR professor of nuclear engineering, vice president. Dr. Gary J. Mueller, UMR assistant professor of nuclear engineering, was elected to a two-year term as a local director, and Dr. 1. Derald Morgan, chairman and Emerson Electric professor of electrical engineering at UMR, was elected to a three-year term as a local director. Dr. Richard Elgin, UMR assistant professor of civil engineering, previously was chosen a local director. In addition, Dr. Robert L. Davis, dean of the UMR School of Engineering, will become chapter president on June I. He was elected last spring.
Garbacz Edits New Book Dr. Christopher Garbacz, associate professor of economics at UM-Rolla and member of the Missouri Gerontology Institute Policy Council, is editor of a new book, "Economic Resources for the Elderly: Prospects for the Future." Published by Westview Press of Boulder, Colo., the book presents some of the latest research in the economics of aging. According to Garbacz, "The purpose of this volume is to provide a wide audience with access to ongoing research in an area of high significance. The research is important because .. .it may ultimately lead to decisions that intimately affect the elderly as well as the economy. For example, the current and probably continuing debate in Congress over Social Security will certainly be heavily influenced by economic research and choices.
