By Ernie Gutierrez Wh en UMR faculty members want to tes t their students' kn owl edge of a given subj ec t, they now can ask a question and get immediate responses from everyone in the class at th e touch of a button thanks to the cam pus's new IBM A dvan ced Technology Classroom (ATC). T he ATC, a computerized elec tronic classroom of th e future, enables an instructor to display a 2 February 1990

question on an electronic blackboard at any tim e during a class . Each student in the class can th en answer the question by means of an indi vid ual keypad respon se sys tem. "Each keypad contains 10 numbered buttons - 0 through 9 plus additional buttons that w ill allow students to answer true/fal se, yes/no, and multiple choice questions; clear or change an answer, recall or review a previou s answer; and ask for assi stance," said Dr. Madison Dail y, U MR assistant professor of engineer ing management. " Students punch in th eir an wers, w hich are di splayed on a liquid crystal display sys tem on th e key pad, to either open-ended or close-ended question s and send th em to th e instructor," he added . " U sing data generated by stud ent respon ses, the computer system tabulates and offers immediate graphic di splay of responses in th e form of graphs or pi e char ts," he continued . " The sys tem also enables the instructor to compare responses

from previous classes and shows him or her which answers came fro m which stud ents." In addition to the keypad response sys tem, th e ATC permits an in structor to integrate graphics and tex t, videotape, videod isc, audiotape, and lighting inlO a presentati on either through a handheld remote control dev ice or from a "sman lectern " eq uipped w ith a touch- ensiti ve plasma panel. T he entire sys tem is controlled by a persona l computer. Acco rding to Dail y, th e ATC is an example of sta te-o f-the-an technology being used to enhance th e educational process. "UMR's ATC is the mos t sophistica ted in use in an academic settin g anywhere in th e worl d," he sa id. " It's fitting th at thi s fac ility be avai lable at UMR, one of the country' s lead ing technolog ica l insti tut ions.

Studies done to date with ATC's in corporate settin gs seem to show that the facilities do improve learning . "With this equipment an instructor can cover 25 percent more material," Daily said. " Similar equipm ent has been used by IBM for its training needs, and data it has ga thered indicate that students had short-term retention rates of up to 40 percent higher in an ATC environment than with conventional-classroom methods." These findings were echoed by UMR students who took part in a demonstration of the ATe. At the demon stration , Daily sho wed a number of UMR engineering man agement students the possibilities of the ATe. Students were given multiple-c hoice tests, viewed th e lift-off of the Apollo 11 spacecraft and the landing on the moon of U.S . as tron au ts and com pared the ir knowledge of world geog raphy to previous classes. " You ca n remember vis ual images a lot longer than lectures, " James John so n, a senior in engineering management, said. "You use both s ides of yo ur brain and that 's bound to he lp yo u reta in more in Formation ." Lisa Burwell, a senior e ngineering management student, agreed that th e A TC presented info rmation in a more interesting mann er. " It's like having a memory device," Burwell said. "The visual s provide a triggering mec hanism to your me mory. It a lso helps to keep your concentrati on during class becau se yo u neve r know when th e instr uctor is go ing to ask you to respond to a question via the keypads."

Daily spent the past year at IBM headquarters in New York acquiring the skills to adapt courses for use with this new technology. During this semester at UMR, Daily will be developing curricula and training other faculty members to take advantage of th is revolutionary technology. Dail y said that in the future, UMR plans to use the A TC to originate courses and, using satellite technol -

ogy, make the m availab le to oth er higher education institutions throu gh the National Tec hnologica l Un iversity. " It is not inco nceivable that we wi II be using th e ATC for statewide satellite c lasses in tec hnology and for use in other c urri c ul a in grades K - 12," Da il y sa id . The A TC is a joint study proj ec t by IB M and UMR.

Because about 70 percent of UMR's students participate in intramurals, intercollegiate athletics, or physical recreation programs and this high demand is taxing the current recreational facilities, Chancellor Martin C. lischke has announced that the campus is planning the construction of a new indoor athletic facility exclusively for intramural sports and physical recreation activities. This new facility is to be constructed adjacent to the Gale Bullman Multi-Purpose Building.

"In my discuss ions with students and student leaders, it is clear that they want intramural sports to grow ," lischke said. "It is with this in mind that we are proposing to build an addition to our fi ne athletic facilities and to hire a full-time intram ural director. "Preliminary studies suggest the need for a 35,000-square-foot addition," lischke added. "We estimate the cost at about $3.5 million. Of this amount, $2.25 million will be raised through private fu nds and other sources and $1.25 million will be raised by increasing the student athletic fee." According to Billy Key, UMR athletic director, tentative plans for the Bullman addition include basketball and volleyball courts, racquetball courts, general activity areas, student weight training and fitness faci lities, an indoor fitness track and locker rooms. The proposed student athletic fee increase will total $17.50. It would go up by $2.50 a semester to support the full-time intramural director position.

E An additional $2.50 will be used to begin planning the new recreational facility. The remaining $12.50 increase will start only when the $2.25 million private monies have been raised and the new facility is under construction . Neil Smith, UMR vice chancellor for administrati ve affairs, said the Physical Recreation Facilities Committee has been reviewing architectural firms in anticipation to selecting one to prepare preliminary drawings and proposals for the new addition . " In consultation with the UMR

phys ical faciliti es staff, the committee will recommend an architec tural firm experienced in building athletic faciliti es to design the addition ," Smith said. Bob Phillips, a life sciences senior from Dixon , Mo., and president of the UMR Student Council, said th at student support for th e building proposa l was e vident in a student referendum that took place in late November of las t year. More than two-thirds of the students participating in the refe rendum voted in favor of rai sing the activity fee. The UMR Student

Counc il subsequently voted to endorse the plan.

"This is an important step toward improving intramural facilities. " Bob Phillips, Student Council President "This is an important step toward impro ving intramural facilities ," Phillips said. "There is a great deal of student involvement in intramural s activities and the building of this new fac ility will go a long way toward inc reasing participation ."

By Minnie Breuer UMR 's Curtis Laws Wilson Library is a vital learning resource center for students, faculty, staff and the general public. Plans to expand the library's facilities would provide additional study , shelving and work space and allow for continued growth ensuring that the library will continue to be a high-quality learning resource. "The planned expansion will provide much-needed space for the library 's patrons, staff and resources and accommodate the projected increase in materials and services during the next 20 years, as well," according to UMR Chancellor Martin C. Jischke. Dr. John Park, UMR vice chancellor for academic affairs, said, "The UMR Library, which is the primary resource center for teaching and research on the campus, has a well-qualified and productive staff and this expansion will allow them to continue to provide support for teaching and research activities in an efficient

manner." At its December meeti ng, th e University of Missouri System Board of Curators approved the emplo yment of Murphy, Downey, Wofford and Richman , Architects of St. Loui s to begin preliminary plans for an approximate ly 60,000-square- foot addition to the building. The expansion will provide additional study space for about 600 persons, increased shelving space for the library' s holdings and appropriate display areas for current journal titles, according to Ronald Bohley , director of library and learnin g resources at UMR. "The present facility was built in 1968 to hold 300,000 volum es and to offer sea ting for 1,050 readers and work space for 18 fu ll -time e mployees," explained Bohley. At thi s time, the library ho uses 420,000 volumes, provides stud y space for about 650 readers and employs a staff of 25. "Through the years , the amount of space used for study and wo rk areas

has been redu ced in order to make room for the inc rease In the library 's ho ldings," said Bohley. "Currentl y, each stud y station occ upi es about 13 square feet," he added. "Guidelines prepared by the American College and Researc h Libraries recommend 25 to 35 square feet per study station." According to Jean Eisenman, ass istant director of public services at th e UMR Library , an increase in the amount of shelving space will ease th e crowding of th e existi ng collecti on and a lso would accommodate the increase that is anticipated durin g the nex t 20 years. " During the las t decade, the library has added an average of abo ut 10,000 volumes each year," Eisenman said. "If another 200,000 volumes are added to the collec tion in th e nex t two decades, the library's collection co uld exceed 600,000 volumes, or tw ice the number of vo lumes th e present fac ility was built to conta in ," she explained.

R " In addition, the expansion will allow currentjoumal titles to be appropriately displayed and stored for ease of use," said Eisenman. Bohley said that th e expanded facilities also are needed to provide work space with ample electrical power and telecom munications lines for various types of automation that did not exist when the library was built. " In the las t 10 years , for exa mpl e, computers have a ltered the na ture of library services because more inform ation is now available in an elec tronic format, " Bohleyexplained. " In the UMR Lib rary, computers now store in formati on tha t was

contained in the card ca talog ," he continued , "and termin als located throughout the building provide access to information about UMR's collection as well as a portion of the holdings on the other three UM campuses. "Computer databases also a llow us to find material th at prev iously we didn't know was ava ilab le," he said. E ise nman added th at compu ters have shifted the emp has is from owning a book to providing access to it. "Through a computeri zed interli brary loan system, we can provide easier access to materi al loca ted in libraries throughout the nati on," Eisenman explained.

" In addition , because informati on itself often ex ists in a computer, it is equival ent to having the material in th e building," she said. At present the library also provides space for radio station KUMR, th e Video Communications Center, a udio/visual resources, th e Wes tern Hi storical Manusc ripts collec tion, University Archives and the Affirmative Action office. Total cost of the projec t is es tim ated at $8,455 ,000. Support will be provided by a combination of req ues ted state capital appropriations and private fund s.

UMR Assistant Professor Norman Cox, who has been conducting research on electric cars for years, converted his VW Rabbit to electricity over four years ago.

Reprinted by permission of Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader When Norman Cox comes to a filling station, he just bu zzes on by. Literally. Cox, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Missouri-Rolla, drives an electric car.

"For normal commuting, it's just ideal." Norman Cox "For normal commuting, it's just ideal," he said of the orange Volkswagen Rabbit he converted from piston power to electrici ty 4 and one-half year s ago . Cox has been doing research on electric cars for years, so it was

with more th an casual interes t th at he noticed General Motors' Jan. 4 announcement of its electric prototype, the Impact. He believes elec tri c cars could be the wave of the future. Electric cars have been around since before th e tum of th e century, althoug h always on th e frin ges of the motoring world. Cox believes th at may change in coming years as th e world 's oil glut disappears, and gasoline becomes more ex pensive. John Newell , chairman of th e Belmont, Cali f. -based Electric Auto A ssociation, says elec tric cars can challenge piston-powered cars in every area but one: range. The electric vehicles' ran ge is limited by the need for recharging. However, he said th e association and Stanford Uni versity stud ents are develop ing a

long-range elec tri c car that wi ll be on the road by thi s summer. It will . have a gasoline-powered electric generator for rec harging when there's no other power source ava ilabl e. In the meantime, Cox uses the elec trifi ed Rabbit almost daily for the 12-mile round trip from home to campus, sometim es makin g two or three tri ps a day . Th e car's motor, which develops up to 50 horsepower, gave off a minim al hum during a short ride around th e Rolla campus. On the highway, Cox said the Rabbit is capable of 70 mph and will run about 60 miles between rechargings. It takes about eight hours to recharge th e 17 batteries. Seven batteries are mounted under th e hood and lOin the rear MSM Alumnus 9

( hatch. The heavy-d uty, lead-acid batteries are the same ki nd used in golf carts, he said. The batteries must be replaced every three years and can cost up to $100 each, bu t the careful buyer can get them for as li ttle as $35 in bulk from the maker, he said. He has no firm figures on what it costs to ru n the car but says it does cost more than running a gasoline vehicle. If yo u fig ure the price of electricity alone, the Rabbit costs abou t the same to operate as a vehicle that gets 45 miles per gallon of gasoline at current prices . The cost of battery replacement brings the economy figure down to abo ut 14 miles per ga llon. However, he doesn't have to ma intain a cooling system, ex haust system, fu e l system and other internal-comb usti on components. "The break-even point will be

when gas hits about $ 1.30 a ga llon," he said . " At that price (th e elec tric car) will be cheaper to operate." Newell said there are already e lectric cars on the road th at break even on operating costs, and the ir economy can only improve as gasoline prices climb. Newell, who drives a converted Ford Escort, said a small car is not mandatory fo r conversion to electric power - "We've done it with Cad illacs" - but it wi ll make stored power go a lot furth er. "We have very little energy, so we have to be quite conservati ve." Cox bought the pi ston-powered 1979 VW ex pressly fo r convertin g to e lectr ici ty. It's sma ll , lig ht and has good aerodynamics, he said. " It looks like a box , but VW rea ll y strea mlined it very well ," he said. A sma ller tractor battery runs the car's lights, wipers and other e lec tri cal equi pment.

He kept the car's four-speed manual transm ission, a must for hill s, but took out th e clutc h. "You don' t need the clutch to start up, and you don' t need it to shift gears. Yo u just let off the accelerator and shift it. " Rubber and foa m gaskets around the' hood opening keep water out, so he can drive it on rai ny days without worry ing abo ut shorting o ut the batteries.

It took him 11 months to complete the conversion at the leisurely pace of one afternoon 's work a week.

UMR has been chosen by the University City Science Center of Philadelphia to house an Energy Analysis and Diagnostic Center (EADC). The center, to be known as UMR-EADC, will serve as a costeffective agent for an energyefficient technology transfer to small- and medium -size manufacturers within a ISO-mile rad ius of Rolla. The UMR-EADC has been awarded a $49,825 contract from the Science Center. Additional funding support comes from the UMR Center for Technology Transfer and the UMR department of electrical engineering. The center director is Dr. Bums E. Hegler, UMR professor of electrical engineering. Dr. John W. Sheffield, UMR professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, is the assistant director. According to Hegler, the center's technology transfer will enable manufacturers to become more productive and profitable in the overall operation of their facilities. "The UMR-EADC will be the first center of its kind based in Missouri," Hegler said. "Its primary functions will be to conduct on-site energy audits; identify and recommend specific energy-related, cost-saving opportunities; and provide energy-use data to a centralized information and data management system at the University City Science Center," Hegler added. Dr. K.M. Ragsdell , UMR associate vice chancellor for academic affairs/extension, said, "The overall goal of the program is

to conserve energy in an important segment of the national economy by demonstrating how the application of technology can profitably reduce energy consumption and can lower costs." Ragsdell added that unlike their larger counterparts, small- and medium-size firms often do not have professional staffs with the required expertise and time to identify, design and implement energy-conserving and cost-saving measures. UMR-EADC plans to make energy audits of 15 industrial firms during the present contractual year. Managers of industrial plants who desire to be considered for an energy audit should contact Dr. Burns A. Hegler, Room 108 Electrical Engineering Building, phone 341 -4718, or Dr. John W. Sheffield, 207A Mechanical Engineering Building , phone 341-4690, UMR, Rolla, MO 654010249. EG

Research helps rejuvenate steel industry Just as discriminating chefs seek out utensils which will not alter the flavor of the food they cook, researchers at UMR are looking for ways to produce purer steel by improving the materials used in refractory vessels - the cooking pots of metallurgists. Dr. Robert Moore, UMR professor of ceramic engineering , and Dr. Joe Guha, UMR research associate professor of ceramic engineering, head a project sponsored by the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) to research advanced refractory materials for the steel industry. Moore explained that vessels in which steel is melted and refined

during fabrication sometimes introduce their own impurities into the molten mix. "There are great advantages in producing clean steel," Moore said. "It greatly reduces scrap; the steel can be rolled into thinner sheets with fewer defects; and the designers of products using steel do not have to worry as much about design safety factors. "By improving the quality of the vessels, the U.S. steel industry has been able to produce automotivegrade clean steel more cheaply than any other country in the world," Moore added. "This, in tum, is helping American steel mills become more competitive with foreign producers." Moore said that because of the close ties between UMR, the U.S. steel industry and AISI, the university is playing a role in the rejuvenation of the American steel industry. "AISI has launched a systematic and intensive research effort in the area of refractories, and, recognizing UMR's technological stature, has made a $500,000 grant to support research and undergraduate scholarships at UMR," Moore said. " In addition, the grant is helping us train the kind of engineer that the steel industry needs to remain competitive. As far as we know, UMR has the only developmental program in the U.S. for this type of engineer. " At a recent meeting on the UMR campus, AISI's Collaborative Research Commillee (a consortium of 11 steel companies, II refractories and three materials suppliers) approved a $42,000 supplemental grant targeted for equipment acq uisition for the research program. "The comm illee, one of three AISI commillees conducting their semi-an nual meeting at UMR, MSM Alumnus 11

reaffirmed its intention to make this an ongoing program," Moore said. He said AISI has a $30 million pilot plant program for a revolutionary new method of making steel. " This 'in-bath melting' method addresses pollution, labor and financing concerns," Moore sai d. " But it requires temperatures in the range of 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit to 3,500 degrees Fahrenheit, and the refractories suppliers currentl y do not have cost-effective materials for thi s new process. " Moore and Guha hope that the new intensified research efforts in advanced refractory materials at UMR might assist in making the "in-bath melting" method economically feasible. Their research also might lead to material s which allow steel furnaces of all types to operate at higher temperatures, Moore said, helping U.S. industry become more producti ve. In addition to their work for AISI, Moore and his co lleagues at UMR receive financial support from the A.P. Green Industri es, National Refractori es, North American Refractories and Well sville Firebrick. Th ese and other companies in the refractory material s field have received technical assistance from UMR in the area of refractory material s. "Our research group feel s th at it is very important that advances made in the laboratory are tran sferred to the appropriate user," Moore said. " Thi s is one way UM Rolla contributes to th e economi c well -being ,of the state and th e nation. "

Smoke detectors only one factor in reducing deaths, says UMR professor Smoke detec tors are on ly one of a number of factors that are contributing to a decline in dea th s ca used by house fires, according to a stud y by a UMR professor of economics. According to Dr. Chri stopher Garbacz, prev ious studi es of smoke detec tors did not take inlo consideration several other important factors that also may affec t th e probab ility of fire-related death s. "For example, for decades before smoke detec tors were introd uced on a large sca le in th e Uni ted States th e number of f ire dea th s experi enced a long-term downwa rd trend ," he said. Garbacz' stu dy found that th e number of lives saved in 1985 if all homes in th e U.S. had smoke detectors wo uld havc been about 300

as opposed to previous engineering studi es that indica ted th e number of li ves saved wou ld have been as many as 2,000. " Th e ques tions to be answered beforc determining th e accuracy of the current stud y are what ca used fire-related deaths to decrease before smoke detec tors came into general use and would those effects disappear after smoke detectors came on th e scene," Garbacz sa id. Garbacz ex plained that several factors ma y have contributed to the dec line in death s. " Incomes have ri sen over the years and as incomes ri se it may res ult in a decrease in fire accidents and death s," he said. "Houses w hich were bu ilt in the pa st few ycars are much sa fer than older homes as far as fire ri sks are concern ed, ancl th e meth ods used to heat th ose houses are much safer. A ll of thi s may have been instrumental in clccreas ing fire ha7.ards. " We also know that cigarClle

smoking, alcohol consumption and certain demographic factors related to the quality of housing are important in determining the risk of death due to fires," he added. "Young children and the elderly are disproportionately at risk," he said. "If the share of population at risk increases, it is likely that fire deaths also will increase." He also explained that the study found that smoke detectors prove ineffective when people are unable to respond in a fire si tuation or they respond incorrectly and are unabl e to escape. Garbacz cautioned that "the findings of the study should not be interpreted to mean that people should not use smoke detectors. "I use several smoke detectors in my home and I check them reg ularly," he said, "I value them as added protection for my family." He added that his study "simpl y found that smoke detectors are onl y one of several factors that continue to drive down the risk of fire deaths just as was happening before th e detectors became generally available to homeowners in the 1970s." The study is entitled "Smoke Detector Effectiveness and th e Value of Saving a Life" and is being published in "Economic Letters," a joumalthat is edited at DH Harvard University,

Vice Chancellor Coffman chosen for C of C Leadership program

Thomas M. Coffman, UMR . vice chancellor for University Advancement, has been selected as a member of the charter class of Leadership Missouri, an action pro-

gram of the Missouri Chamber of Commerce. The program will train 40 individuals annually in the functions and challenges of state government, particularly as those challenges have an impact on the business community. UMR Chancellor Martin C. Jischke said, "The selection of Tom Coffman for this program is a significant honor for him and for UMR. The Missouri Chamber of Commerce has recognized not only his personal contributions to the advancement of education in Missouri, but also the role that UMR plays in the economic development of the state." According to Edgar L. Orchard, Leadership Missouri chairman, program participants will gain new insight into governmental practices and goals. "They will make new business contacts throughout the state," Orchard said. "They also will have the opportunity to develop new leadership skills that can prove invaluable in their jobs and their communities. " Missouri.Gov. John D. Ashcroft is the honorary chairman of Leadership Missouri. He said, "The new Leadership Missouri program will foster a better understanding of challenges faced by the three bnmches of state government, while at the same time developing new leadership talent for Missouri." The program will consist of seven three-day sessions to be held throughout the state. Some of the topics to be covered include economic growth, social concerns, secondary and higher education, leadership challenges, Missouri history , tourism and the health and welfare of the state.

Engineering education to be available to nontraditional students Nontraditional students in Missouri will have the opportunity to continue their engineering education through a University of Misso uriRolla program which will deliver courses by means of an interactive video system. Through the program , instruction will be provided for the last two years of UMR' s bachelor of science degree programs in electrical . engineering, mechanical engineering and engineering management for students enrolled in the state's community colleges and four-year institutions which are participating in UMR's cooperative transfer agreement program . The program was approved by the UM System Board of Curators at its January meeting. UMR Chancellor Martin C. lischke said, "Our intention to extend engineering education to nontraditional students in outstate areas through an interactive video system represents a new era of educational service to Missourians. "The availability of engineering education throughout the state also may as!,ist Missouri's small manufacturers to remain competitive and encourage other corporations to locate in Missouri ," he added. . According to Dr. John Park, UMR's vice chancellor for academic affairs, UMR engaged a consulting service, the Association for Continuing Education and Technology (ACETS), to assess the demand for undergraduate engineering programs for nontraditional students in outstate Misso uri. "The study indicates that there are over 3,000 students interested in one of th e three engineering programs to be offered and that th e

Courses will be delivered via a live, two-way audio and video capability provided by "very small aperture terminal" (VSAD satellite technology. "UMR faculty members will teach place-bound students on a live and fully interactive basis at the same time that the class is being taught on the UMR campus," Park said. Students may enter the program after successfully completing the first 60 hours of course work required for an engineering degree through UMR's Model Transfer Program. Plans to build a hub telecommunications center for the program in UMR's Electrical Engineering Building are being developed by the Christner Partnership, a St. Louis architectural firm. The firm was employed by the UM System Board of Curators to expand and renovate the Electrical Engineering Building.

Computer-based lessons to make learning AI flexible A set of computer-based training modules dealing with artificial intelligence (AI) that were developed for McDonnell Douglas by a UMR professor will add flexibility to the learning process. According to Dr. Arlan R. DeKock, chairman and professor of computer science at UMR, the overall purpose of this project was to develop a set of computer-based

courses in order to automate the instruction of introductory topics in AI for engineers and managers at McDonnell Douglas. "Because the class materials are stored on a set of computer discs, McDonnell Douglas employees have the opportunity to learn about AI without attending formal classes," he added. "The employee can sit down at a personal computer and receive instruction at any time and for as long as it is convenient," he added. DeKock said that there are several economical advantages associated with using the modules. "Rather than hire new people with new skills, most companies would prefer to see present employees expand their skills, learning to apply AI techniques to their processes and product designs," DeKock said. "Also, it isn't economically feasible for most worldwide corporations to send instructors to all of their sites or to bring all of their employees to a central location," DeKock said. The project, which is being funded by McDonnell Douglas in St. Louis, was started in 1987. DeKock, who holds a B.A. degree from Central College (pella, Iowa) and M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of South Dakota, has been on the UMR faculty since 1968. He held appointments on the UMR computer science and psychology faculties and as research analyst and head of institutional research before becoming a full-time member of the computer science faculty in 1973. His areas of specialization are computer data base systems, computer language systems design, and artificial intelligence. DH

Associate dean for research and graduate affairs named Dr. Gary K. Patterson, professor and head of the department of chemical engineering at the University of Arizona, has been named associate dean for research and graduate affairs and professor of chemical engineering in the School of Engineering at UMR. The appointment is effective March 1. "I am extremely pleased that Professor Patterson has been named to this position," said Dr. Robert L. Davis, dean of the School of Engineering at UMR. " I am confident that under his direction the School of Engineering will continue to expand its research and graduate programs." Davis added that Patterson will assist faculty in UMR's School of Engineering with the enhancement of their research programs. In addition, Patterson will share the responsiblilities of the Office of the Dean of the School of Engineering with Dean Davis and Assistant Dean Jerry Bayless. Patterson received B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemicpl engineering from UMR in 1960, 1961 and 1966, respectively . Prior to servi ng on the faculty at the University of Arizona, Patterson served as a member of the chemical engineering faculty at UMR from 1966 to 1983. He joined the UMR faculty in 1964 as an assistant instructor in physical chemistry. Patterson is a member of the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE), th e American Chemical Society (ACS) and the Society of Rheology. DH MSM Alumnus 17

Alumni gifts benefit many UMR activities By Rebecca Martin, student assistant

Alumni often ask th e question : "How will my gift to the MSMUMR Alumni Assoc iation be used?" The answer to this question is: "In a num ber of ways." Determining exactl y how contributions to the Alumni Association can best be used to benefit the university is a job perform ed by the Board of Directors of the MSMUMR Alumni Association, a separate, no t-for-profit corporation. Fifty-five directors serve on the association 's board. All of them are alumni of MSM-UMR, and they are elected to the board by the contributors to the Association . C urrentl y, funds contributed to the Association are used for sc holars hips, student aid, loans, ed ucati onal assistan tships, awards, library, music and athletic programs, and other acti vities which benefit the uni versity. The Alumni Association 's 1990 budget totals $464,125 . T he assoc iati on expects to receive $255,000 from individual donors and $92,000 from matching gift corporati ons. The re maining $ 117 ,125 will come from interest and excess income from preceding years. One of the primary uses for these funds is pro vid ing scholarships and loans. In the 1989 calendar year, the Alumni Assoc iation provided 164 stude nts with scholarships totaling $ 197,400. In addi tion, 40 transfer sc holarships in the amount of $500 per studen t were awarded for a tota l of $20,000. T hese tran sfer scholarships were distributed by the Admi ss io ns Office. Beginning this yea r, the Association will award $4,000 in athletic scholars hips. In order to e nsure that the Association will be able to contin ue to provide such fi nancial assistance in the future, those students who receive scholarships and loans tha t are funded by th e Assoc iation are 18 February 1990

asked to return 25 percent of the amount they receive after they leave school and are employed. Because the recipients of th ese scholars hips and loans real ize the importance of the aid they received , many either return the amount as soon as they are employed, while others make payments over a period of several months or years. Most recipients continue to give annually to the Association even after they have repaid the 25 percent. Last year the board al so allocated

$27,000 for the assoc iation 's ed ucational ass istan tships program. Ed ucational assis tants, unde r the supervision of fac ulty me mbers, work on research and other types of projects on campus. Currently 22 students are participating in the program .

This semester, I am anal yzing the resultant data and writin g a paper on the findings," M en s said. " Th e results of thi s proj ec t will be used for later studi es," she added. M erts believes that having th e opportunity to be an educati onal assistant is important for a number

of reason s. "In th e type of project I was invol ved with, you apply what you learn and then expand upon it. It serves as an ex tension of what you learn in the classroom ," she said. "Because I didn ' t qualify for fi nancial aid, being an ed uca tion al assistant also helped me pay for my education as well as providing relevant experience," she added . For the past five years, the Alumni Association al so has recognized outstanding facu lty advisers by presenting Student Advi ser Awards to faculty members who ha ve exhibited outstanding adv isory capabiliti es. " Becau se ad vising stud ents is an important face t of a professor 's job, the Student Advi ser Award s were initiated to reward faculty who are particu larly good at it. The award s recogni ze that th ere are a number of faculty who spend a good deal of energ y advi sing stu dents about academic dec isions," said Bob Berry, a member of the MSM-UMR A lumni A ssociation Board of Direc tors.

"Because advising students is an important facet of a professor's job, the Student Adviser Awards were initiated to reward faculty who are particularly good at it. " Robert Berry, '72, member of MSM-UMR Alumni Association Board of Directors The A ssociation's Award s Committee presents Outstand ing Student Advi ser award s to four facu lty members each yea r. Each recipi ent is honored at th e Hom ec oming Award s Banquet and presented with a check for $500, a plaque and recognition by th e Alumni Association . Peter Hansen, a professor of basic engineerin g/engi neerin g mec hanics,

T here are other things just at important as research and teach ing and advising are two of them," he said. Ronald Howell , a professor of mechan ical engineering, agrees w ith Han sen. "Not all departments recogni ze advi sing stud ents and student organization s as part of a faculty member 's job, so it's particularly grati fy ing that th e A lumni A ssociation acknow ledges facu lty members who do thi s type of work with students ," he said . Each yea r at Homecoming th e A ssoc iation also provides nonmonetary award s to olltstanding alumni . Th ese award s are: A lumni Ac hievement, A lumni Merit, A lumni Service and Honorary Life Member. Two new awards al so wi ll be added in the fu ture for outstanding staff members. Anoth er area in which th e A lumni Assoc iati on has assisted the uni versity is providing support to th e library and the music and ath leti c programs. A LOtal of $22,000 has been ea rmark ed for these progra ms thi s year. Th e li brary receives $3,000 fro m th e A ssoc iation for th e Library Developmen t Fund . Accord ing to Ron Bohle y,.library direc tor, th ese fund s go toward s spec ialized materi al that deal primari ly w ith find ing and accessing informaLion in th e library. "The money goes for computer literature searching fo r graduate ami undergrad uate students.

" With regard to literature searching, the Al umni A ssoc iati on fund s would be hard to li ve wi th out. Most libraries charge students for this ser vice, so, it is exceed ingl y important to have the the funds to make literature searching avai lab le for everyone," he added. The music program also receives S3,000 from th e A ssoc iati on. Accordin g to Dav id Oakley, professor of music, the music program has been receiving fund s fTom the A lumni A ssociati on for 20 years . Th e sti pends are used primaril y for student aid as well as various oth er projec ts.

"The money Is divided proportionately by the size of the athletic budget and has been very helpful to us. "

Homecoming, the 50-year Reunion at Commencement and other special events sponsored by the Association provide opportunities for alumni to see old friends and renew acquaintances while reminiscing about the good times they shared in college. Homecoming also offers an opportunity for alumni to expand their horizons by attending short courses offered by today's outstand-

ing faculty members. The Association budgeted $10,000 for these special events. Because of your generous support and contributions, the Alumni Association continues to provide the university with a number of programs and activities that would not otherwise be available.

"The money is divided proportionately by the size of the athletic budget and has been very helpful to us," said Key. The Association spends $178,000 in various other ways. The MSM Alumnus magazine operates at a cost of $55,000. Recently the Association Board of Directors voted to change the frequency of publication from six to four issues annually. This will allow production of a higher-quality publication for alumni without increasing costs. An additional $30,000 is budgeted for publishing and distribution of the Alumni Directory, which is published every five years. Because communication with sections is vital to the strength of the Association, $30,000 was allocated in this area. When a section plans an event, invitations are sent by the Alumni Office. Address information is centrally maintained in the campus records office, and this service ensures that the maximum number of alumni are reached and invited to participate in section events. The Alumni Office also provides membership lists to section leaders so they can contact local alumni.

that four professors from Rolla will come to SL Louis to speak on topics of interest to all alumni. These lec tures are scheduled for February, March, April and May of 1990 at the Engineers C lub. Phil Jozwiak encouraged everyone to attend the lec ture series and bring a friend. Also scheduled for 1990 is the annual golf tournament on May 19. As there was interest in the Cardinal baseball game, also,Jon Vaninger, '63 , was appointed as chairman of the committee to schedule this event. In addition, the alumni discussed the possibility of having a monthly luncheon. Several of the group are already meeting monthl y, and this may be expanded to include all St. Louis area alumni . Another event to be planned is a party for alumni and c urrent students at UMR. Jim Van Buren, '63, announced tha t Gary Schumacher, '63, has offered to have this party at his home. President Curdt presented a list of committees and asked the alumni to sign up for one or more of these committees. Bob Bruce encouraged all present to get involved in the Admissions Ambassadors program , as recruiting in St. Louis is critical to UMR's success. Don Brackhahn, Executive Direc tor of the Alumni Association , stated that one of every four UMR a lums resides in St. Louis, and encouraged a ll present to invite their fellow alumni to participate in the St. Louis section events. Dick Bauer, '52, and Bob Berry, ' 72, talked about access to engineerin g education in St. Louis and there was much discussion about this topic. The gro up voted to collec t $10 dues from members of the St. Louis Section , to be used for sc holars hips by th e Alumni Association.

Los Angeles What a fun-filled adventure it was! The Los Angeles MSM-UMR alumni family campout was he ld at Don Huseman' s Rancho EI-Tigre about 80 miles so uth of the border. The excitement of go ing into old Mexico, a foreign language, and the traffic signs in Spanish contributed to the challenge of finding the ranch on the old Tiajuana Road . The weekend of Aug. 18-20 le ft happy memori es. Senor Don and his charming wife, Senora Lu z, made all wa rml y welcome to th e ir ran ch. Besides the spacious ranch ho use, th e ranch rolled over 400 acres to the Pacific Ocean. Don had callie, horses, and a large ex perimental lime tree orchard irrigated by the dripmethod . Water is scarce in this se miarid land . Don monitors this orchard closely . Senioritas Lacey and Alejandra, the Husemans' two youn g daughters, were as beautiful as the ir mother and real charmers, too. All the children played toge ther beautifully . An important highlig ht to the m was roasting marshmallows, watchin g the full moon ri se over th e east mo untains, and the glittering stars over th e lacy MilkyWay. The next morning, they hiked up th e hill to the Dynamite House overlooking the blue, blue, blue Pacific Ocean. And " Grin ga," the patient mare, wi th her one-speed gait, was busy a ll day with kids and parents. The Miners visited Ensenada , hiked with th e kid s and shop- talked about a me lange of subj ects, s uch as "What happened to .... ?" manag ing a radarcom pu ter mil itary net; ch ild care; keeping the water level up at Lake Elsinore;

e thics in engineering; a prospective ass ignment in Turkey ; problem s of heavy metals in hazardous waste; " How did yo u meet your spo use?" etc .... etc. All of this and more in an easy, informal manner. There was plenty of food and drink. Don made a real appetizing chili . And for a good after -s upper treat, we enjoyed a concert of Mexican Jazz and classics played by a guitar ensemble of four local doc tors, "The Ensenada Medical and Relaxation Group." They were excellent! All of this was enjoyed by Scott, ' 74, Alice and Scotty Boyd; William, '6 1, and Patricia Bauer; Nate, '4 1, and Bena Jaffe; Trevia Harrell and Joanna LaRose, '64; Sharon, Jeff, ' 75 , and Shannon Bopp; Carl, '68, Judith and Jeff McCalla; Jeff, '7 1, and Ann Green; and Don, '42, Luz, Lacey and Alejandra Huseman ......
