This Homecoming Dr. Tom Van Doren of the electrical engineering department, directed a Friday afternoon free seminar for alumni interested in knowing more about the features offered by various personal computers. Some 24 alumni and spouses attended the event. Assisting Van Doren to conduct the seminar were: Ken Carpenter (lecturing above), Paul Stigall and Hardy Pottinger, EE facutiy.

This year 42 students holding Alumni Association Scholarships were invited to the semi-annual Board of Directors luncheon at Homecoming, and about half of them were able to attend. (Other recipients of association-sponsored student financial aid are invited to the same event in the spring.) Board members and their spouses enjoyed m.e~ting and talking with the students.

On The Cover At Homecoming, alumnus board member Harold Crane, '53, of Hannibal, was telling us about the great job the 12 cheerleaders -do at Miner football games and how much time they spend on practicing for each event. We thought we would show you an example of their spirit. That's Crane's daughter Kami Uunior in civil engineering) on top of the pyramid.

Report of Association Board of Directors' Activities Members of the MSM-UMR Alumni Association Board of Directors heard good news when they attended the semi-annual board meeting Oct. 21, in the Mark Twain Room of University Center-East.

One of the first items on the agenda was a report by Al Buescher (,64). He said that once again MSM-UMR alumni have responded to the needs of their alma mater. Donations to the annual fund during the fiscal year had increased by 20 percent over the previous year. (A complete report of the fund will appear in the February Honor Roll issue of the Alumnus).

Treasurer Jack Painter ('50) presented the association's financial status report and recommended additional appropriations of $7,000 for the current year to reflect increasing costs. The board approved supplemental funding for meetings, awards, equipment, address labeling, postage and a miscellaneous category.

Vice president Bob Wolf ('51) presented a proposed budget for student financial aid, recommending a 26 percent increase over the current 1983-84 year.

The recommendation passed and .a 1984-85 budget 'of $108,750 was-approved for student financial aid. The higher amount reflects an increase in the number of scholarships awarded to students (the amount of each scholarship was increased by 2.7.7 percent at last year's meeting). Association scholarship guidelines were discussed and one amendment was mad~ . Wolf was asked to make a further study of the early commitment scholarship category and present a report and recommendation for action at the spring meeting.

Reports on athletic studies, the Jackling Fund, Alumni Awards, Alumni Alliance, Industrial Relations, scholarship distribution and the Joint Engineering Council were made and discussed. .

Chancellor Joseph Marchello joined the meeting and thanked the Board for the association's support and assistance. He described the procedure being used in the search for President Olson's successor, described present enrollment trends at UMR, shared projected enrollment estimates, and reported optimistically on legislative prospects for both capital and operating funds. He also reported the on-campus recognition ceremony held for Mrs. V.H. McNutt and dedication of the building site for the proposed Vacha I McNutt Hall (mineral engineering building), and noted the subsequent death of Mrs. McNutt on Oct. 14th.

A motion was made and passed to express appreciation to Frank Mackaman for his continued loyal, productive service to the Association during the past 15 years and offer recognition that the association's growth is due in no minor part to his leadership.

A motion was also made and passed to adopt a resolution commending Chancellor Marchello for h'is leadership and administrative skill during a time of sevrere financial constraint for the University of Missouri system.

Bob Wolf, acting as secretary in Martha Gerig's ('69) absence, presented the results of the 1983 election of directors. Paula Bradley was elected as a directorat-large. Harold Crane, Bob Perry, Ken Pohlig and Bob Vansant were re-elected to their area directorships, and Dave Blume, Richard Hunt and Russ Kamper were elected as new directors in their areas (see Association Officers and Directors listing on page 39).

Announcement was made that the spring board meetir - nul \ pril 14, 4 '1omecu; n:g 1984 and the fall meeting would be Oct. 27 , during the festivities.

Having completed the business of the association before noon, the officers and directors joined their spouses for luncheon with recipients of th(' Alumni scholarships.

AMOCO "Outstanding Teaching Awards"

Don Askeland

Dr. Don Askeland, professor of metallurgical engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla, believes that not all teaching takes place in the classroom, and his work habits reflect that idea.

Like many of his colleagues, he practices an open-door policy for students, and he spends a lot of time with them.

"After all, students are the reason we are here," he said.

Besides, Askeland enjoys the st udents. "The interaction with students--getting to know them individually--is what I like most about my job," he said.

Students evidently appreciate Askeland's in-and out-of-classroom style of teaching. This year they voted him one of UMR's most outstanding teachers, and he is one of two faculty

members who received AMOCO Foundation Outstanding Teaching Awards for the 1982-83 year.

He has been on the UMR faculty committee for National Merit Day (a special day for high school seniors who are high scorers on the National Merit Exam). For "five years or so" he taught in a summer science training institute for high school students. And, from 1976-81 , he said that he "spent a lot of weekends in shopping centers" with UMR's traveling engineering exhibit.

Besides all that, Askeland has been adviser to the UMR student chapter of the American Foundrymen's Society for 12 years. When he has time, one of his favo rite hobbies is another spinoff fro m his career--making metal sculptures.

ing Out The Victory.

Lov ridge Restores a Traditi Once again you can hear a bell ringing on the UM R campus.

The railroad bell in the cupola of the Rolla Building has allowed an old tradition to ring out a new over the UMR campus. The bell, which was a gift to UM-Rolla from alumnus Joel F. Loveridge marks special occasions on campus such as athletic victories, Founders Day and commencement.

"I was director of operations for a cement company for several years," said Loveridge, who received a B.S. in civil engineering (1939) and the professional degree of civil engineer (1963) from UMR, "and I did quite a bit of business with the Norfolk and Western Railroad.

About 15 years ago, the railrOad saw fit to -present the bell to me as a gift."

Loveridge had the bell polished and had the initials "LJMR" engraved on it.

"UMR means a lot to me," Loveridge said. "I enjoyed the years I spent there, and I feel a great deal of loyalty to the school.

"In fact," he added, "attending UMR

is something of a family tradition. My father , my brother and my brother-inlaw all attended UMR, and I thought it would be nice to have something representative of my family on campus."

Loveridge's gift has enabled UMRolla to revive a tradition that was once an important part of campus life.

C James Grimm, UMR professor emeritus of electrical engineering and recipient of a B.S. in electrical engineering (1930) from UM-Rolla, recalls the original castiron bell in the Rolla Building being rung each morning at 8 to signal the start of the school day during the 1920's.

The bell also was used to announce football victories until Dean Curtis L. Wilson had it removed to ground level after an October 1946 game.

"Following a victory at Jackling Field, a group of enterprising students rushed to the Rolla Building," explained Dr. Jack B. Ridley, UMR associate professor of history and co-author of "UMRolla: A History of MSM/UMR." "In

J oel Loveridge, '39

their haste to get to the roof and ring the 'Liberty Bell,' the students broke open doors and windows.

"As a result;" he continued, "Dean Wilson had the bell removed to ground level because he feared that someone would fall from the roof or that the extra weight of persons climbing on the roof would cause it to collapse."

For the next six years the bell would occupy a prominent place near the sidelines at Jac1(Jing Field. "In 1952," according to Sally White, writing in the Centennial Edition of the MSM-UMR "Alumnus" magazine, "some students let their enthusiasm get the better of them. While signaling the win by ringing the bell with sledgehammers, it cracked ."

The following year the Frisco Railroad donated a locomotive bell to UMR's student chapter of the American Institute of Electrical EngineersInstitute of Radio Engineers, which, in turn, presented it to UM-Rolla.

That bell subsequently was mounted

on one of Ja'ckling Gymnasium's two towers, and it was first rung to celebrate a UMR victory following a 20-0 Homecoming win over Central Missouri State University on Oct. 12, 1953.

Jerry Berry, a 1949 recipient of a B.S. in civil engineering from UMR and a member of Miner football teams during the I 940s, remembers that the bell could be heard throughout Rolla following a victory. "I lived near downtown," he said, "and I could hear it ringing all the way from Jackling Gymnasium."

In fact, Berry added, he could hear the bell all through the night. "The fraternities used to assign their pledges the job of ringing the bell, and when one group would finish, another would take its place."

When Jackling Gymnasium was demolished in 1966 to make room for the Wilson Library, the bell was removed and placed in storage. Some time after that it disappeared and its whereabouts remain unknown.

MINER SPORTS Gene Green, Editor

Football Miners Share 1983 Title Nov. 12, 1983 is a day of football that will be remembered in UM-Rolla sports history.

Ron Hutchcraft had caught only four passes entering the final game of his sophomore season, but, his fifth catch was worth the wait.

Quarterback Chris Nisbet found the 6-1 speedster in the end zone with only 2:22 left to play, giving the Miners a 14-9 home victory over Northeast Missouri State and a share of the 1983 MIAA title with Central Missouri State.

The 38-yard touchdown pass came on fourth and 19, as Nisbet fired the ball through a 20 mile-an-hour wind.

Hutchcraft's leaping catch gave UMR the victory and ended the Miner's season at 8-2 overall ~nd 4-1 in conference play.

"Hutchcraft has the ability to be ~ tremendous receiver," a jubilant head coach Charlie Finley said after the game. He certainly has the speed--all he needs .is experience and confidence."

The game·winning catch no doubt did a great deal towards providing him with both, as Hutchcraft's UMR teammates carried him off the field on their shoulders during a wild celebration. A track performer with 9.7 speed in the 100-yard dash, he caught touchdown passes of 89 and 94 yards earlier this season in a junior varsity game.

The Miners fell behind 3-0 early in the game, as Northeast Missouri's Brad Schrader connected on a 33·yard field goal in the first quarter. UMR went

back on top with only 10 seconds left in the half, scoring from three yards out. A scoreless third quarter followed, setting the stage for UMR's dramatic come-

Eight Gridders on MIAA First Team Eight members of the 1983 c0champion University of MissouriRolla football Miners were honored with first-team berths on this year's MIAA All-Conference teams.

UM-Rolla head coach Charlie Finley, who guided the Miners to a 4-1 MIAA mark and an 8-2 overall record, earned Coach-of-the-Year honors by a vote of his peers.

Members of the first-team offense were tackle Jeff Heger, guard Eric Wiegand, and running back Randy Shed. Shed, who paced the MIAA in rushing with 95.6 yards-per-game, was edged out as the league's MostValuable- Player by Northeast Missouri quarterback Tom Hayes.

Hayes won the award for the third straight season.

On defense, the Miners boasted first teamers in guard Bob Gorham, end John Frerking, linebacker Glenn Wilhelm and back Ken Zerkel. Frerking also was named as the league's first-team punter.

Second-team members for UMR were center Russ Pogue, fullback Mike Schafer, defensive end Rickie Caruthers, linebacker Steve Davis and defensive back Brian Bradley.

Honorable mention awards went to split end Mel Parham, tight end Scott Stephens, quarterback Chris Nisbet and noseguard Dan Goldner.

UM-Rolla graduates only seven seniors from a team that boasted the best overall record among MIAA members.

have only se.ven seniors on the team, so I'm very optimistic about next Season." . Finley has coached the Miners to either a first- or second-place finish in six of the last seven seasons. The win was his 70th career victory in 12 seasons' at UMR. UMR entered the game ranked 14th in the NCAA Division II, its highest ranking since the 10-0 team of 1980 finished 10th in that season's final poll.

Randy Shed led all rushers with 113 yards and finished the year with a 95.6 yards-per-game average, good enough to put him first in the MIA A and among the leaders nationally.

"Shed did it all for us," Finley said.

"He led the league in rushing and kick· off returns and was a .leader on and off the fidd.

"We may have had only seven seniors on this team, but I can't say enough about the way they led our club during the season. The all did a great job."

Other Miners playing their final collegiate game were Scott Teter, Steve Davis, Bill Bohnhoff, Scott Stephens, Mel Parham and Nisbet.

"We won or shared the conference in 1977, 1980 and now this season. All three teams had one trait that was stronger than anything else," Finley said. "They never gave up."

Miner Kickers Log Winning Season The 1983 season was a good one for both men and women's soccer at UMR, with each team recording+.500 seasons and gaining post-season praise for key individuals.

The men finished the season 10-9-0, as Keith Vandersteen ended a super freshman season as the team's leading scorer. Vandersteen scored nine goals and added four assists for a team-high 22 points. He was followed by Jeff Smith's 15 points, Scott Jaskowiak's 13 points and ten each by John True and Mike Lane. .

Goal-keeper Ben Birch ended the

the Miners' top scorers and leaders.

Team co-captain Bryan Dickerson gained honorable mention at a back spot.

John Guffey, who led Northeast Missouri to a tie for the MIAA title with University of Missouri-St. Louis, was named Coach-of-the-year.

UMSL forward Lance Pollett was the league's Most-Valuable-Playec

Janet Stones handled the bulk of the scoring duty, firing in 13 goals and adding two assists for 28 points. Susan Shrum was the other Miner in double figures with 14 points.

Goal-keeper Lisa Frumhoff ' had a goals-against average of .93, six shutouts and was named to the Intercollegiate Soccer Association .of America's AIlWest Region First Team.

"It was a fun season, and we have many returning players on each squad," said coach Paul McNally. "I think more and more people are ~ginning to take note of the soccer programs at UMR."

'Seven Back For Lady Miners Seven letterwomen return from last year's squad, and Cathie Schulte is hopeful their experience will help the Lady Miners bounce back from last year's 7-16 record.

Leading the way will be 5-7 senior guard Laurie Behm, the team's leading returning scorer (9.3 ppg) and the fifthleading free throw shooter in the NCAA Division II last year (83 percent). Also back will be 6-0 sophomore forward Terry Bond, 5-9 junior forward Cecilia Gutierrez, 5-8 senior forward Gail Halsey, 6-2 senior center Linda Hill, 5-8

junior forward Kim Murphy and ' 5-4 sophomore guard Kelly Stewart.

"We are going back to the basics in some practice sessions," Schulte said.

"And we are trying to do the little things to perfection."

If the Miners have anyone goal, it is to make a stronger showing in the MIAA. "We failed to win a conference game last- year and I certainly want to change," she said. "Some victories in the MIAA would be very gratifying, as the degree of talent is high."

Tyree Hall (6-6), a tremendous leader from Edison Community College in Florida. HalI wilI be looked upon to bolster the Miners on the boards. Kevin Graves (6-4), bongs a good shooting touch from North Iowa Community ColIege, while Dan Tappendorf (6-2) will try for playing time at guard. He played for Lake Land Junior College in Illinois during the 1981-82 season.

Three freshmen also grace the squad, with Wiley Buchanan (6-3), Mark Givens (6-4) and Jeff Mefford (6-4) battling for playing time.

How does Key view the new season?

"We should be stronger than we were last year," he said. "But with a much stronger non-league schedule, the 14-12 record we produced a year ago would be respectable. "

Key knows the MIAA competition will be as tough as ever.

"Southeast Missouri has to be the favorite, but Central Missouri and Northwest Missouri will be very good this year as well," he predicted. "In fact, you know that no MIAA game should ever be taken Iightly--this is simply a very tough basketball conference."

Some of UMR's top non-league competition includes the Bellarmine College Tournament a~ins~ BellaJl!line College, University of Arkansas-Little' Rock and Mississippi College; a January meeting with Division I Arkansas State and a trip to Indiana State UniversityEvansville.

"It is a real challenge, but I feel we have some quality players," Key said.

"Hopefully they can all mold together to give us a very competitive team.'''

"The players are working harder this season," she said. "They are in bett~r condition, utilizing preseason running and weight programs."

Numbers may prove to be one of the team's problems, with only ten players on the 19ib-84 squad. ' .

"Even with that, we can do much better this season if we are more consistent on offense. It would be nice for certain people to assert themselves quickly so we could come up with a bona fide star-

Susan Mullins and Sandra Vaughn come to the Miners from within the Missouri prep ranks, while Melissa Warfield brings her talents to UM-Rolla from Colorado.

"This is a good group of young ladies to work with," Schulte said. "I'm looking forward to the new season."

Swimmers Look To Nationals UMR swimming coach Bob Pease is pretty blunt about the 1983-84 Miners.

"We have an excellent group this season, and I'll be pretty surprised if we do not make a strong showing at nationals," he said. "We have many quality people back, and some . fine freshmen to build on as welI." The Miners finished ninth in the NCAA Division II last season, producing six AlI-Americans and their secondbest finish ever. Three of those AllAmericans are back this year, with at least one national qualifier in each

stroke.

"We need for our top people to rise in their national rankings and get national cuts out of our second and third athletes," Pease said. "We' have some lack of diving depth, but perhaps our freshmen can come through for us and give us a lift."

Some of the top Miners returnees this season are Chris Aria (backstroke), Scott Carney (butterfly), Derek Coon (breaststroke), Craig Erzen (breaststroke), Arthur Hovater (freestyle), Ed Krygier (backstroke), Joe

James S. Anderson, '55 Curator

U iversity of Missouri James S. Anderson, University of Missouri Curator from Springfield, could give lessons in time management.

Anderson not only runs Anderson Engineering, Inc., a consulting engineering fIrm in SpringfIeld, he is active in numerous professional and civic organizations, in addition to his Board of Curators duties.

At his firm, he employs seven civil engineers (six of them graduates of the University of Missouri-Rolla, as is Anderson), a geologist, a biologist, and 12 engineering technologists as well as clerical assistants.

In his 25-plus national, state and local professional and civic organizations, he is serving or has served as an officer or chairman for more than a dozen of them. For instance, in the Missouri Society of Professional Engineers, Anderson has served as a committee chairman, director or officer (he's a past president) every year from 1964 to 1983. He is currently MSPE's chairman of the political action committee and serves on the membership committee of the National Society of Professional Engineers.

I'm not sure there is any particular secret to being able to handle a busy schedule," Anderson said. "I concentrate on management and organization and, of course, I get up early. .

"But the major component is the cooperation and assistance I receive from my wife. Dixie has always backed me-osuch as when I was president of the local engineering chapter in 1965 and she founded the auxiliary. She is a member of the board of directors of Anderson Engineering and travels with me attending all social functions and promoting the engineering field . In addition to taking care of me, she has found time to write a book which was published a couple years ago and is working on a second."

Anderson received his engineering education from the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy (now UMR), earning his B.S. degree in civil engineering in 1955.

"One of my most vivid memories of the Rolla campus is an interview I had with V.A.C. Gevecker, a civil engineering professor who was serving as assistant dean at that time," Anderson recalled. "He told me that when I got out of school, I would most likely find myself in a position of some responsibility since I would then be an engineer. However, most of the people whose efforts I would be directing would probably be making more money than I did. He said to be patient, that the situation would right itself in time and eventually my education would payoff. He was exactly right."

Anderson's first job after leaving the Rolla campus was a year as a trainee and junior engineer for the St. Louis-San F rancisco (Frisco) Railway Co. He spent the next nine years (with leave for military du ty) as a designer, District 8--Survey & Plans, and engineer inspector, District 8--Construction, for the Missouri State Highway Department. . In 1965, he became associate with Wright & Associates, Inc., of Springfield and in 1969 he became president of the firm, later changing its name to .

Anderson Engineering, Inc. The firm offers the full spectrum of civil engineering services and is actively. involved in major projects through aU phases including municipal works, construction projects under grants or loans administered by federal agencies, direct contracts with the U.s. Army Corps of Engineers, the Veterans' Administration, state agencies, local governments, industry and private individuals. The work covers environmental, geotechnical and structural engineering, the fields of hydrogeology, inspection, foundations, materials, soils and surveying.

As one wi.u hires engineers, Anderson has been particularly interested in the field of engineering education. The interest was heightened when his son, James F. Anderson , chose to pursue an engineering degree at UM-Rolla in the early 1970s. (The younger Anderson, Class of 1978, is now with the Missouri Pacific Railroad in St. Louis.) Their daughter, April, is married and is a secretary with Anderson Engineering Inc. "I learned even more about the scope and quality of today's engineering education, and higher education in general, wben I recently served as chairman of the UM-Rolla Commission on Modification of Activities. I consider it valuable experience for service on the Board of Curators. We studied all facets of .

UMR--curriculum, laboratories, faculty salaries. " I am the only engineer serving on the Board of Curators at this time, and I expect the addition of a professional engineer to that body reflects an emphasis in higher education on high technology. My general philosophy is fairly conservative. I do see a need for obtaining more appropriations to maintain qualified faculty and physical facilities and to keep the University operating in the black.

"I believe that the Board of Curators should let the public and our senators and representatives--both state and national--know the problems the University faces and our proPosed sOlutions." Anderson recently returned from a trip to Washington, D.C., where he discussed professional engineering matters and higher education with governmental administr.ators.

This is the sixth year alumni have returned at Homecoming to participate in the "Alumni Band." Six years ago, only six band alumni were on hand to play along with the Marching Miners at halftime. This year 36 band alumni made the scene (there were 20 last year) and 31 were brave enough to take to the field on their . own for the first time to form an "M" and play "Auld Lang Syne". They also joined the Miner Band during the coronation ceremonies. In addition to a Saturday morning practice, band alumni participated in general Homecoming activities and gathered for their own brunch on Sunday morning. Band director David Oakley would like to see double the number next year.
