Missouri Governor John Ashcroft

t

The 114th Annual Commencement Missouri Go v. John Ashcroft cha llenged a bo ut 700 graduat es a t th e Uni versity of Misso uri-R o ll a's 114th A nnu a l Commence ment to "crea te the future with the same readiness to take a ri sk that in spi red the fra me rs of the Co nsti tution ," mak ing reference to the document 's bice ntenni a l celebration this year.

"You must see what needs to be done, believe in it , and do it," he ad d ed.

As hcroft also told th e grad uates th at "we need to sharpe n our nation a l competitive edge. "It's a tough cha llenge," he said , "but it's one we ca n meet.

"W hat will strength en America in th e world economy," he continued, "is its human reso urce- its peo ple. This is any nation's greatest economic asset, a nd th e most prosperous nations work hard to develop it."

Ashcroft ex pl ained th at this ca n be acco mplished by "getting all of our national team memb ers into th e ga me. Too many now si mpl y sit o n th e bench .

"Parti al participa ti o n cuts deep into a nation 's a bility to compete in th e world market. If we have poor skills, we produce lower quality goods less effici entl y. Then if prices rise for American products of dubious qu a lit y that's not co mpetiti ve," he add ed .

As hcroft a lso said that "o ur insitution s- such as our governmental programs and our educatio nal sys tem - have the res ponsib ility to fo ster op po rtuniti es for ou r people.

They enh a nce the chance for people to realize thei r potentials. And government shou ld st rongl y encourage peop le to act on th eir opp o rtuniti es a nd make th e most of th eir li ves ." " Our institutions sho uld (give) peop le challenge a nd opportunity and encourage incenti ves," he added. "When we demand that of our institutions, we build our nat ion 's hum a n reso urces a nd improve our competiti ve ness."

A nother way to d evelop our human reso urces a nd meet o ur nat ion's com petitive challenge is by "asking a lot of ourse lves ," he said. " We must push o urselves to be th e best we ca n be. We mu st keep pressing towa rd th e ma rk. "] believe, " he continued, " we never cheat ourselves by asking too much of ourselves; we only cheat ourselv.es by asking too little . And I challenge yo u who are gradu atin g today to ask grea t things of yo urselves as yo u head o ut into the real wo rld .

During Key's coac hin g career he has se rved as pres ident of the Nat ional Associatio n of Basketb a ll Coaches , se rved as a memb er of th e Basketball H a ll-o r-Fa me Board of Directors, has coac hed a team in the National S ports Festiva l Games a nd co ndu cted a se ri es o f clinics in Brazil thr ough th e Partners of the Americas prog ra m. li sch ke said Key will no w d evote his fu ll-time effo rt to se rving as a th le ti c director / d epa rtm ent cha irman and directing pri vate fund-rai sing projects.

"Many people ma y not be awa re that Coac h Key was o ne of o nl y two athl etic direc tors in th e co nference who a lso coac hed a major sport," li schke said. " So in man y ways he h as co ntribut ed over the yea rs in a double ca pacity. 1 am delight ed that we will co ntinue to have his ex pertise as UMRolla's a thl etic director."

Key said he will miss wo rkin g directl y with th e stud ent-athletes at UM R bu t stressed he felt th e time was ri ght to retire from coac hing. " I ha ve a great dea l of co nfid e nce in turning the program over to Dale," Key sa id . "He is a ha rd worker, has been a tru sted assis tan t for ma ny

yea rs, and I feel he has the right quali ti es to be a n o ut stand in g co llegiate head coac h. " Key bega n his coach ing ca ree r in 1949, coaching h igh school basketball for seve n seasons at Wellsville a nd Monroe City. His collegiate career bega n in 1956 at H arris Teachers Co llege fo ll owed by a sti nt a t N icho lls S tate University in 1962. He joined UM R as head basketba ll coach in 1964 and was appoi nt ed a thl etic director in 1968 , succeedi ng Gale Bullman. The St. Louis native became departm ent chairman in 1972.

During Key's caree r wi th th e M iners, UMR twice qualified for NCAA Regiona l To urn a men t play. His 1975 76 team captured th e on ly MIAA basketb a ll cha mpi o nship in Miner history.

"Coachin g basketb a ll has been a n enjo ya ble caree r for me," Key said . " It has afford ed me a nd m y famil y man y o pportunities we wou ldn 't ha ve had o therwise. " It has been a rea l pri vilege to coac h at thi s uni ve rsity for 23 ye ars, a nd I ap precia te th e supp o rt of th e UM R administration , facult y, staff, stud ents, a lumni and community over th ose yea rs.

UMR Students Win Mine Safety Contest

By Julie Oaks, Rolla Daily News Wheneve r there is a disaster, trained professionals immediately rush to the rescue. Because of their training and expertise, lives are saved and potential dangers are averted. Here in Rolla at UMR, there are students who study how to save lives in mines by majoring in mining engineering. One way in which they hone their skill s is to participate in competitions.

Earlier this spring six young men, Dave Ziegler, Mike Sturdevant, Lyle Evans, Randy Reed, Bill Sennott and Troy Leitschuh, along with their trainer, Troy Harris, competed in thefirst Southwest Invitational Mine Rescue Contest in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and came away with first place .

The competition in Carl sbad co nsisted of two eve nts, the first event was a simulated emergency rescue in a mock min e setup on the footba ll fie ld

at Carlsbad Junior High School. There had been a gas leak followed by an explosion that left the mine fi lled with leaking gas , fire and smoke. Five people we re trapped in the mine and while three were presumed dead , it was the responsibility of the rescue team to go in and get the two remaining people.

The second even t was the bench man contest. The bench man is the member of the team who makes sure that all of the breathing apparatus is working before the rescuers descend into the mine. The benchman's contest required the bench man to locate and repair a problem created in the respirators.This contest was won by UMR's Dave Ziegler.

Scoring was done by deduct ing points, called 'discounts', for errors and the Rolla team won by only amass ing 25Y2 points.

Harris , the team trainer, said that

the fact Rolla won was pretty impressive because they were competing with the m ining companies who dea l with these types of emergencies a ll the time.

He attributes the ir win to the fact that as ide from th e time that the st ud ents spe nd in class, they spe nd many hours on their own at the UMR mine working and practicing together to be as efficie nt and precise as they can be.

Another team from the UMR mining sc hoo l a lso took home top honors when they competed in a Mine M ucking contest held in Nevada earlier this year. Students from 17 different universities in the United States and Canada competed in this contest using old mining techniques.

Harris lost several of his team members this spring to graduat ion .

But as they leave UMR, they leave wel l prepared to handl e any emergency or di saster that could occur in the mines where they will work.
