Miss Wegner received her undergraduate degree from Washington State University, Pullman, Washington, in 1959 and her master's degree two years later from the University of Washington.

She was on the faculty of Washington State University as an instructor in language. She replaces Professor Alfred Simon, who resigned.

To lessen confusion and sectioning problems, registration was conducted at three different intervals

110 students on job Odd jobs have been provided for 110 students, largely through the "efforts of Montana Tech.

Vic Burt, Business Manager, said that as of October 12, 44 students had been hired for part-timework here at the college.

Of these, 29 were hired under the W ork-Studv Program in affiliation with the Office of Economic Opportunity.

The other 15 are paid directly by the college.

Profesor Van Matre announced' that the Anaconda Company, the largest single provider of jobs for Montana Tech students, had hired 66 students for part-time work as of October 12. At that time, 24 jobs remained open. Most of these will be given to those who are upperclass men and have already applied.

Several freshmen will also be hired.

Forty-eight of these jobs belong to students who were working for the Anaconda Company during the summer months and did not terminate their employment at the beginning of the school year. Eighteen had worked previously for the Anaconda Company and were re-hired.

Techstudent dies in mine accident Fate struck early this summer when an unexpected cave-in at the High Ore Mine took the life of Fred P. Bates. Fred, who was working for the summer at the mine, had just finished lunch when he was trapped by the rock fall and suffocated.

Bates was a scholarship winner at Montana Tech. He was an exceptional student at Montana Tech he had been throughout grade school and high school. He had previously attended the Jefferson School and Butte .High School.

He had just been awarded for his diligent studies a nomination to the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland.

Bates had completed two years of study in engineering at Montana Tech when he took the job in the High Ore Mine.

In those two years he made many friends among his fellow students who mourned his death in the freak accident.

Because of his popularity at school, the Student Council w.il1 have a plaque prepared in his memory.

as

this year. Graduates, seniors, and juniors registered Friday, September 23, followed by the sophomo~es Saturday morning.

Freshman registration was held the following Monday.

Of the 616 students enrolled for this semester, more than half (318) are general students. The 346 freshmen outnumber the members of all other classes, comprising about 56% of the total. Counting the 34 transfers, 62% of the student body is new to the Montana Tech campus.

215 freshmen and 103 sophomores are general students.

The engineering population at Montana Tech is composed of 131 freshmen, 71 sophomores, 37 juniors, 32 seniors, and 27 graduate students.

Montana T~ch finds itself well represented geographically.

The for~ign students come from Canada, Chile, Egypt, India, Iran, Peru, Saudi Arabia, and South Africa.

These 19 foreign students make up 3% of the student body. 34 students from 18 states other than Montana account for 6% of the enrollment.

Of the remaining 563 Montana students 420, or 68% of the student body, come fro m Silver Bow County.

Friday, October 28, 1966

Tech president greets student body School has commenced! Welcome back! I hope that your summer has been both pleasant and productive.

All of us invite all of you new students to join us in another fine year at Montana Tech.

This is the time each year when thousands of young men and young women just like you embark on a mission, the success or failure .)f which; will affect profoundly the balance of their lives. For a large number, it is also the first time in. their formal educational experience when they are accepted and treated as adults, and it is the fi~st time that many of them are completely away from home with its tempering influence and supervision. In a certain way, these. multiple challenges, these many stern tests of character are too much of a load to impose all at once on happy, confident, unsuspecting college freshmen. There are :;'0 many circumstances and conditions to be evaluated, so many fateful decisions to be reached, so much conscience to be exercised, and so much self-discipline to be imposed that failure might be expected more times than it seems to occur.

cision to obtain a college education is the commitment of at least four years of one's . life. It is the choice of a fuller, more expressive, more productive, more satisfying life than day to day living. It is accepting a challenge to study, to think, to reason, to help make our world a better place jn which to live. It is opening a door to unlimited accomplishment and self-satisfaction.

This. kind of commitment is too important to allow other things to interfere. Being a college student is a full-time job and deserves a wholehearted effort.

Anything less is inviting disaster, either in less than excellent prepara-

Despite innate resourcefulness 3.ÂŁ young people which undoubtedly reduces likelihood, failures do occur, all too frequently, and could be prevented in most instances. The de-

tion for the years ahead, or in waste of time and effort through total failure.

Some' 'students must work parttime to finance their college educations. This is admirable, but a parttime worker can't be more than a. part-time student. This kind of circumstance calls for a part-time study load and more than four years to complete the study for a degree.

Too many students discover this simple logic too late. Some students place recreation and social activity first in priority. This too can be fatal to a productive educational effort. Some others give part-time work first priority and recreation second priority. These people discover that there isn't any time left for school work so they don't do any. "After all, there isn't enough time." These people have made all the wrong evaluations .and all the wrong decisions. To do any worse they'd have to have help.

It is common knowledge that the numbers of people graduating from college are only about half as many. .as those who enter college as freshmen each year. What happened to the other half? Each student on our campus should ask himself this question, and perhaps one more. "In which half will I be?" .

Although many schools are ernbroiled in the controversy over program scheduling, some are realizing that their purpose is to offer a student an adequate education and not to turn out graduates in timed mass production.

It is a credit to Montana Tech that the trend toward student responsibility in schedule planning is gaining momentum here. =-Steve Bauer

Another of Dr. Habashi's students, GeorgeAnn Thurston, also has written an article in collaboration with Dr. Habashi, accepted for publication in Analytical Chemistry, one of the American Chemical Society Publications.

GeorgeAnn Thurston is a senior in the Metallurgical Department and will become the third woman graduate from the institution in engineering. Her thesis is entitled "Polarography of Uranium by the Catalytic Nitrate Wave." The abstract of her article states: "A polarographic study of uranyl ion in the 0.1 M sulfuric acid solution in the presence of nitrate ion was undertaken.

Below 0.0001 Mil or above 0.1 Mil nitrate ion, the catalytic wave cannot be used for uranium determination. It is only in 0.01 Mil nitrate ion that uranium can be determined, provided a standard curve is con,structed.

There is indication that the wave produced is not a true catalytic wave, but adsorption of a uranium species on the surface of mercury plays an important role."

Freshmen face colleg~ adjustment As the newest members of our student body, you are making a great adjustment to college life .: Yet you may not realize exactly what you are adjusting to. Having this point clarified now may help you become more successful students.

Through all your previous years of schooling your teachers have, to a large extent, led you by the hand. The instructors at Montana Tech do not take such an active role in your education. Instead, you are expected to show initiative in the learning process. you must take your own hand and lead yourself through the maze of higher education.

College success is largely dependent on how well you can manage your own affairs. Some of you will adj ust very well to accepting personal responsibility and find you can do a better job with yourselves than did your former teachers, Unfortunately, many of you, unable to cope wtth the problem of adjustment in time, will forfeit your college investment without acquiring any of the rewards of higher learning. The following hints may help protect your investment.

First, budget your study time. You have heard this point time and again, but don't ignore it. A one credit course may be more pleasant than one or five credits, but the inescapable fact is that you must expect to devote five times as much study. to the five credit course. A very good rule in deciding study time is that two hours should be spent outside class for each hour of classwork. If a class is more difficult than average, or if you find the assigned work unpleasant, you should be prepared to devote more time to outside study. As time passes, you will find those classes that require an extra effort and those that require less. It will then be possible to' set aside fixed timed for the homework in each.

Second, and probably the most important point of all, use your study time efficiently. Putting in two hours on an assignment does not mean yO'Ustudied that assignment for two hours.

Poor surroundings for study, constant interruptions, time wasted in excessive neatness, recopied work, switching between assignments or thoughts, or little desire to' study because of boredom or fatigue extend the time required to successfully complete your homework. The obvious solution is to plan your study periods for times when you can work with your mind in its clearest state. This means getting adequate sleep, adequate physical exercise, and studying in a well lighted study area free of distractions. There is no point to studying if you can't do it with a moderate degree of efficiency. Chances are you won't be with us next year.

Third, limit your social and athletic activities. One great asset of college life is the expanded range of personal and cultural experience through membership in clubs and organizations and through, SUB and dorm get-togethers. Another asset is the opportunity to learn qualities of leadership while promoting good health through parttclpatdon in athletics.

There is no denying the educational significance of these activities, but it should be clearly borne in mind that your primary concern in COllege is successfully completing required courses. This does not mean that you should refrain from such activttles. Active partictpatton in a few will do much good.

As you proceed through college life you will find more opportunities to join and profit from these activities. The important thing to remember is that you can as easily join many of these activities next year as now.

Although many sources list other polnts as helpful toward college success, the three mentioned here are the most fundamental and probably the most important. College is an assortment of pitfalls. By using the above three points as guideposts, you can reach the rewards that are produced by education.

DIGGINGS Montana ence and

College of Mineral SciTechnology wishes to welcome all new freshman to the campus. Quite, unlike high school, college is an all new rich and exciting experience.

-The first weeks of college are always full of confusion and disorganization.

Each freshman is faced with many important decisions ..

While interviewing five freshman, they had this to say about life at Montana Tech: Mike Saxton is a g r a d u ate of Butte High Schooh Mike, who is presently taking a general course, plans on majoring in Physical Education.

When asked his opinion of Montana Tech, Mike replied, "I like it because the campus is small and .t is easy to get to know everybody."

Mike's only complaints are being a freshman, not being able to find a place to park, and 8 :00 classes.

Mike is a halfback for the Orediggers. Besides playing football he enjoys skiiing and taking lessons from Kohler. Mike can be seen on campus with Ed Riley and Pete V ucurovich.

Karen Kelly is a graduate of Girls' Central High School. She is a general student majoring in Elcmen try Physical Education.

Karen likes Montana Tech because it is small, and there is a closer relationship between the students and the teachers.

"Kel" enjoys water skiing and snow skiing.

Homework is her only dislike.

Karen frequents campus wit h Debbie Sheehan, Nancy Payne, and Jody Mee. Bob Chew, a graduate of Butte High School, is taking an engineering course. He plans on majoring in Engineering Science, When asked what he thought of Montan'a T e c h, he commented, "Everybody is so friendly and they really have been a, big help." Among other things Bob enjoys playing football. He is playing quarterback and defensive halfback for the Orediggers. Bob roams Tech's campus with Dan M urja.

Bill George is a graduatet of Boys' Central High School. Bill is taking a general course.

He plans on majoring in Math.

In Bill's opinion Montana Tech is the ideal campus because it is small and easy to get around. Bill doesn't mind being a freshman except for the parking problem.

Skiing, motor cycles, and just plain fooling around are Bill's favorite pastimes.

Bill can be seen on campus with Brad O'Neil and Dennis Doherty.

Noreen Alfredson is a graduate of But t e High School. She is a general stu den t and is undecided as to what she will major in.

When asked what she thought of Montana Tech she commented, "Going to school on a small campus really has its advantages, You are counted as a person and not a number."

Noreen's Ii k e s include sitting in the Sub, horses, and a n a I y z i n g handwriting.

Noreen is often found on campus with Karen Wedin, Fran Banfield, Connie Boston, and Carolyn Pesanti.

girls, reporter declares

Perhaps due to the lack of acrobatic male students, or excessive humility on the part of these aspiring engineers, the five 'cheerleaders for the mighty Orediggers are ail girls.

Four sophomores, Cheri Thornton, Gayle Robins, Carol Rask, Helen Ann Loggins, and one freshman, Cathy Rule, are the spirit boosters for the 66-67 athletic year. Cheri, Gayle, and Carol return .to the athletic field for their second year, and Helen Ann and Cathy were elected at a convocation early this year.

All five are Butte girls, and the sophomores all come to Tech from Girls' Central.

Cathy hails from Butte High.

The two new cheerleaders will make their debut in Billings when the Orediggers meet Eastern on their home ground.

Their bright orange and green will bob and flash to cheer the team to another victory, and we hope; to a successful season.

Gow, Somers, Montana, senior, also with an average of 3.77, made up the top ten.

In order to be eligible for the Honor Roll, a student must carry twelve hours and have an index of at least 3.25. Of the fifty-five students represented on the Honor Roll, five are freshmen from the engineering course, twenty-one are freshmen in the general course, two are sophomores in the engineering course, sixteen are sophomores in the general course, seven are juniors, and four are seniors.

Tech band adds sparkle to games Strains of South Rarspart Street Parade (better known as Forward Tech) shatter the crisp air and once again the Tech pep band is on the scene to promote spirit at a football game, Professor Van Matre's musicians spark spirit at pep rallies, games, and support the team at out-of-town games, taking trips to Billings, Helena, and Dillon.

Every Wednesday night the SUB rocks as the band plays everything

from The Star Spangled Banner to Spanish Flea.

Boasting about 30 members, the Tech pep band hopes for a large enough appropriation from the student council to buy blazers and make the band "look as sharp as it sounds."

'Mr. Joe Trethewey, Butte merchant and inusician, gives his time to direct and select music for the band.

New test devised for Kissing Dise~se As millions of students return to classes school and colleg e : physicians and nurses soon will 'be faced with long lines of young men and women complaining of feeling tired and listless and having other difficult-to-pin-down symptoms.

Some students will simply be suf~ fering from laziness, but many others wil have a legitimate reason for this "back to schol slum"-infectious mononucleosis.

A theory that "mono" is transmitted by close contact has led college students to romantically call it the "kissing disease." Yet, when it strikes, infectious mononeucleosis , can be one of the most miserable experiences in a student's life, Recovery can be slow, and every day lost can endanger marks and play havoc with education plans.

Recently, experts have faun? it to be an indicator of emotional stress. Thus, "mono" can become a trigger for dropouts, an excuse for failing to repeat a year, a last straw for requesting medical excuses for postponement of examinations.

This year, however, it will be easier for health officials to tell if a student is suffering from laziness or from the more serious "mono." A new test has' been devised, which can inexpensively test large groups of students, and diagnose the ailment quickly. It was expensive to test any number of students in the past, and as a result, many students had other physical complications from the' disease.

Moral of the story: faking to be sick may lead to testing for "mono" and you may end up faking an ex-: amination.

Nitrogen generator obtained by Tech A grant of $12,600 has been awarded to Montana Tech by the National Science Foundation under its Engineering Research Equipment Program, for the purchase of a liquid Nitrogen Generator, according to Dr. Vernon Griffiths, head of the department of metallurgy, who will direct its utilization.

"Liquid nitrogen finds use in research as a cryogenic fluid and is not commercially available in Montana although both the University of Montana and the State University have small generators Previously we have had to bring our liquid nitrogen in from Pocatello, Idaho," Dr. Griffiths said, "and havgin our own generator will tremendously facilitate some projects and make others possible."

Cryogenic has to do with cold.

Liquid nitrogen, has a temeprature of -261 degrees, which is cold' enough to freeze almost all substances except a few gases. Since it is so cold, it can only be kept in special vessels, essentially special thermost flasks. Examples of the applications of such intense cold' are vacuums; electrical resistance measurements may be more meaningful when conducted at 'such low temperatures; the measurement of the surface area of fine particles may be obtained ..

The generator should be installed for use early in 1967. It can produce up to 6 or 7 liters per hour and works more or less automatically" Small quantities of liquid nitrogen can probably be made available to high school science teachers and other qualified persons.

An electron microscopy facility has also been purchased by the metallurgy department at Montana Tech and is now in the process of being installed according to Dr. Griffiths.

The acquisition of the=electron microscope was mad e possible through matching grant of $10,000 awarded under the National Science Foundation Undergraduate Instructional Equipment program.

The total cost of the facility is estimated at $21,000.

"Electron microscopy is now relatively commonplace and is in wide use in government laboratories and industry," Dr. Griffiths said. "Therefore, it was felt that there was a need to provide engineers with an appreciation of the capabilities and limitations of electron microscopy, since there are several important differences between an electron microscope and the usual microscope.

The instrument acquired at Montana

Mineral Club elects officers, plans year The Mineral Club held its first meeting on Tuesday, October 4, with twenty members in attendance.

New officers were elected and committees appointed.

The newly elected officers are Pete Knudsen, Great Falls, president; John Blumer, Harlowton, vice - president; and Clark Walters, Billings, secretarytreasurer.

Chairman' of the Inventory Committee is Paul Heisfield; and Bob Miller and Bob Morrisson are cochairmen of the Speakers and Program Committees.

Committees will be named later to handle the matter of rewriting the constitution and selecting a new name for the Club.

Field trips were discussed, and a trip to Helena planned for October 9th. The Club will collect spinal, vesuvianite, and jasper. Additional trips are planned and letters being Written to owners of two other loCations requesting permission to make field trips on their properties for collecting purposes.

Tech is well suited to instructional purposes and adequate for many r esearch purposes."

The Philips EC 75 C Microscope is now operation;l and within a few weeks an Edwards 12 E 6 evaporator for specimen replication will be installed. Priority use of the facility will be for instructional purposes although utilization for research programs is encouraged and expected.

"To the best of our knowledge Montana Tech is the first institution of higher education in Montana to acquire such a piece of scientific equipment," Dr. Griffiths said. The facility will be useful to the metallurgy, mineral dressing, and geology departments as well. The microscop~ has a capability of 12000x magnification and 30 Angstrom resolution and can take photographs on 35mm film or on 2" x 2" plates.

A particularly useful item is a universal diffraction stage for reflection or transmission electron diffraction.

"The evaporator is an, essential device for preparing specimens for electron microscopy by vacuum deposition of various materials:" "The microscope was installed by Jerry E. Bowman and Halstead E. Meloy, engineers for Scientific Supply Co., Sea~tle.

Women students pia n activities The Associated Women Students, an organization of all the women students on Montana Tech campus, held a tea September 20, for all incoming freshman girls.. The new girls were given a Big Sister to introduce them to the rest of the girls and to answer their questions concerning the social aspects of Montana "Tech. Cake and punch were served later on in the evening.

The major functions of the A3socia ted Women Students are to promote women's self-government and to sponsor both coed and allcampus activities such as cheerleading tryouts, coke hours, mixers, pep rallies, a fall semester tea; Christmas decorating party, a Christmas Formal dance, Hootenanny and Grubby Dance, and a reception for high school senior girls during spring semester. . New officers are elected every year. The president is elected during the spring semester. The other officers, which include, the vice-president, secretary-treasurer, and three board members, are elected during the first weeks of the fall semester.

The first meeting of the year was held October 4, in the Student Union Building.

Plans for the coming year's activities were discussed.

For the first time, the Associated Women Students are planning the "Adopt a Friend" program at Boulder, Montana. Two young girls have been chosen.

Presents and cards will be sent to them by the members of the A. W. S. on various occasions such as their birthdays, Christmas and Easter Time. Funds for this project and other projects sponsored bY)the Associated Women Students are being appropriated by the Appropriation Committee.

The possibility of sponsoring bus trips for the members of the A. W. S. to the football and basketball games at Carroll or Dillon are also being planned. The A. W. S. feels this will give the team and cheerleaders suppor~ and will boost school spirit.

Another first is being added to the organization this year. The buying and selling windbreakers to all women students who wish to purchase one. The windbreakers will be orange and green with the initials A. W. S. stenciled on the pocket.

Six rough it in geology expedition Struggling up steep slopes to Dr. Dresser's cries of "It's character r building," students at the ,summer geology camp managed, nevertheless, to enjoy themselves.

Six students attended the summer geology camp this summer in the Upper Gallatin Valley. Gordan Austin, Angus Temp, Robert Hurst, Andy Johnson, Henry McClernan, and Pete Norbeck stayed at the 5-K Ranch during the camp with their instructors.

During the six week, six credit course, students had an opportunity to apply fundamentals learned in their geology courses at school. A week and a half was devoted to measuring sections in detail. Then a plane table map was prepared on which was constructed路a structural contour map and a cross-section.

One day was taken for a trip to Snow Flake Springs to study an over-thrust problem. Another exercise involved mapping twelve square miles of ground from airphotos.

Time was also taken to investigate Precambrian metamorphics.

At the conclusion of" the field work the students wrote up reports and drew maps to describe the areas they had covered. The maps from these reports may be used by the Forest Service and hyMontana Fish and Game for biological studies.

The daily routine was interrupted at one point by a man-made rockslide. As Angus Hemp attempted to climb over the top of a steep slope the rock gave way, sending Angus sprawling and students dashing for shelter. Fortunately no one was hurt.

Also advisors were to be appointed for the Sophomore and Junior classes so that they can have meetings.

The motion was passed that posters should be posted (one to each building on campus) two weeks in advance for major dances and two days in advance for mixers.

IThe point was brought up that our college gets very little publicity.

The idea of a newspaper representative was brought up.

It was mentioned that it would be better if the library had different hours . . . longer and more often.

This situation was to be checked on.

Freshmen complained about the parking situation, but sinc~ freshmen can't have cars at other colleges, parking the present, way will remain the same.

Cheri Thornton .was selected to head a committee to look into buying a plaque in memory of Fred Bates, who was killed in a mine accident this summer.

Possibly the colloge could get some big-name entertainment this year, and if the money is appropriated, movies will be shown.

Tech hits Rocky hard for first victory Mr. Lester joins coaching staff Tom Lester, a 1960 graduate of Marquette University, has assumed the post of head coach to the Montana Tech Orediggers. A native of Butte, Mr. Lester played varsity fullback for Butte Central, and went on to play ball for Marquette until he suffered an injury. After graduating from Marquette he went to' Western Montana College in Dillon, where he is presently completing his graduate work.

Mr. Lester accepted his first coaching position as head coa~h in

Medicine

Lake,

Montana,

for one

year.

He then became assistant coach at Butte High for four years before assuming the position of head coach at Montana Tech. While at Butte High he also assisted coach Downey for one year.

When asked about the Oredig-' gers, Coach Lester said, "I am very' pleased with the spirit and attitude of the team." Helping Mr. Lester as assistant coaches are Dan McCarthy and Jjm McGarvey.

Big Rocky was hit "fast and hard" as the Orediggers downed them 13 to 6,to open the 1966 season with a 1-0.

It was said that the Orediggers would surely come out rusty after having only two weeks of practice, but, if they had been rusty they obviously would not have done so weU. Tech gave up five fumbles which should have helped Rocky irnrnensly, but it didn't. The fumbles only gave way to a gap that Coach Lester 'will take care of in practice.

Montana Tech 0 v e r power ed Rocky Mountain after John Sutey scored a touchdown and set up another one with an interception.

The first time the Orediggers got

their chance at the ball they moved it 74 yards in 5 plays. Sutey started .the ball moving with a 35-yard burst off tackle. Two first downs came in a row when big Bill Daily picked up runs of 11 and 16 yards. The power of the Orediggers did not come only from Daily and Sutey, but also from the precision work of the ground crew and the line.

This was the first of the gridiron games.

The girls' physical education activities for the year have been planned by' Mrs. Sarsfield, the girls' P. E. instructor.

There are two sections of badminton classes. The girls learn all the rules and how to play the game.

Then tournaments are held in each class.

Also, girls' single and double badminton tournaments' are held outside class. In addition to the girls' teams, mixed badminton teams are organized to participate in tournaments.
