From the Editor's Desk Easygoing and approachable aren't words often used to describe captains of industry. But they describe Gary Forsee to a T. The soft-spoken Forsee, CE'72, may not come off as the hard-charging CEO type, but there is no doubt about his effectiveness as a leader. Just ask Sprint, which named him CEO this past spring. Or ask Forsee's former employer, BellSouth.

ANDREW CA R EA GA N ew s & Features Editor

After Sprint's board of directors expressed interest in bringing Forsee back to the company (he had spent more than a decade with Sprint before moving to Atlanta-based BellSouth), BellSouth brought out the lawyers to keep Forsee from leaving. The result was a very public legal battle, which Sprint eventually won. Sprint's directors were determined that Forsee was the right leader for their company, and they were willing to fight to get him.

THAT'S NO PIRATE; IT'S A DARUMA'

FAR BETTER THAN FOOTBALL

ASSEMBLING PAPER CARS

I'm from the class of 1939 and came to Oklahoma in 1962. Since that year I've been humbled about Oklahoma University's great football team. Now I no longer have to be humbled. The achievement of UMR winning the American Solar Challenge is to me a far better and greater achievement than winning football games.

All over the world, Rolla grads are going to lose their jobs — because assembling the paper car model (of Solar M in e r IV] is going to consume their engineering minds. While obsessing over Tab D, which pops out when you try to put Tab C into its slot, some important deadline will pass or some key meeting will start without the engineer from Rolla.

At the next get-together you can rest assured all my Okie friends will become aware of our performance in the great car race. My sincere congratulations to everyone who had a part in this superb achievement. T. Pearl ‘39 Oklahoma City, Okla.

When I sat down with Forsee to interview him for this issue, what struck me most about him was his easygoing, engaging manner, and his embodiment of the values so many of our alumni are known for: a strong work ethic, a focused approach to problem-solving, and that can-do attitude. These values have served Forsee well throughout his career. They are the values that led his fraternity, UMR's Beta Chi chapter of Kappa Sigma, to name him as one of its three "Man of the Century" award winners during the fraternity's centennial celebration during Flomecoming in October. Now, as he leads one of the nation's largest telecommunications companies into an uncertain but exciting future, those same values will serve Sprint well, too.

Seriously, it was fun; but I no longer have the dexterity to do it. Lauren, my 14-year-old daughter, put it together for me. Lots of experience with paper dolls, maybe? Are there any other alumni in the Atlanta area? Steve Kane, CSci'86 Tyrone, Ga.

Your recent article "No. 1 Under the Sun" in the Fall 2003 M SM -U M R Acalled the team's good luck charm a one-eyed Japanese pirate. Having lived in Japan for a while, I would hardly call the good luck charm that. In Japanese culture the good luck charm is actually called "Daruma." Darumas are very popular in Japan and are used to bring success and happiness. When that success or happiness is achieved, the uncolored eye is then colored in. Per Japanese history, Daruma was a person who lived a long time ago. He was an Indian prince who went to China with the idea of Buddhism and ended up starting Chinese Zen. He is 28 generations from Buddha. Now that the team has won the challenge, may they have good luck in coloring in the remaining eye! Phil Fetterman, M inE ‘73 Yuzhno, Russia

service and satisfaction, strengthening “bottom-line results,” developing “a culture of winning,” and differentiating Sprint from the competition. “If I have learned anything in the first weeks here,” he said at that meeting, “it is that the foundation is in place for all these activities ” Last April, Forsee sat down with Alumnus news and features editor Andrew Careaga to discuss his vision for Sprint, the state of telecom munications, his UMR education, and the merits of caller ID. The interview was conducted in the studios of UMR public radio station KUMR, and can be heard in its entirety online at http://www.kumr.org/features.html (click on the “6/3/03” link). ALUMNUS: How on earth does a civil engineer from UMR end up in the telecommunications business? GARY D. FORSEE, CE’72: I had some interesting experiences in college working as a summer civil engineer for the (Missouri State) Highway Department. Then, through my junior and senior years, I had an internship with Procter & Gamble at their Charm in plant in Cape Girardeau (Mo.) and got a taste of engineering management, along with engineering practice. As a result of those experiences, I focused my energy when 1 was looking for places to work after college ... on companies giving me a broad-based use of the engineering discipline. I ended up with a job at Southwestern Bell. ... I started with Southwestern Bell in their basic management program. ALUMNUS: You were in the news quite a bit earlier this spring when

Sprint was interested in hiring you. Why do you think Sprint was so eager to get you on board? FORSEE: I certainly didn’t go into the process with the understanding that it would have turned into the kind of feeding frenzy of the press at that point in time. First of all, BellSouth is a great company. I had a very good three years there and worked with a lot of fine people. Sprint had a very unfortunate situation involving their CEO (William Esrey, Sprint’s CEO since 1985) as well as the person viewed as the heir-apparent to the CEO (Ron LeMay). That was a very complicated and unfortunate circumstance that caused the board to conclude that they had to go outside for their next CEO. They looked at my familiarity (with the company), having been at Sprint for 10 years during the ’90s. ... I had a pretty good familiarity with the board, so I guess from their standpoint there was a comfort level with me. Obviously when I was approached, (I had) an immediate comfort level with that situation due to my connection, so it was one of those things that was a good match. ALUMNUS: So coming back to Sprint and Kansas City is kind of like coming home for you? FORSEE: Absolutely. It’s like one of those incredible matches of professional opportunity and personal opportunity. ... Even with all the changes, the years that I was gone, there are still a lot of folks that were here when I was there ... who have moved on with their own careers. So it’s really encouraging to go back and see a lot of the people that I had good

How on earth does a civil engineer from UMR end up in the telecommunications business? connections with when I was there, and who are still there, in different positions. ALUMNUS: There was quite a media frenzy that sprang up with your transition to Sprint from BellSouth. How did you deal with that? FORSEE: It was not expected. There was a press leak that kind of preordained that it would become a media event, whether I wanted it that way or not. That was the case both in Kansas City, because of the Sprint circumstances, as well as in Atlanta (BellSouth headquarters). I basically concluded on the front end that there was no upside to be gained by talking at all to the media. The story was there, and it was hard (to not comment.) It would have been so difficult to explain my side of the story, that I didn’t intend for this to happen, yet all of the data points were perhaps lined up in a different fashion. So I concluded early on that there was no upside to start defending myself or putting counterpoints out there. ... It was frustrating to a lot of people trying to get my side or get me to say something about the circumstance, but I think over the two months that (the news) was going on, that was probably the right thing to do.

I did put out a statement early on saying I meant no bad things to my former company or the board or my boss at that point in time, and that it was simply about having a chance to come back to Sprint where I had worked. I think everybody understood that point of the equation. So, long story short, it was better for me at that point and in that circumstance to not try and get in the middle of it and stir it up even further. A lot of it did blow over. ALUMNUS: What are the major challenges for Sprint and for the telecommunications industry in general? FORSEE: Well, it’s an incredibly complicated environment right now. I think there are a number of factors in the economy affecting the overall industry. Most large businesses have backed away from large infrastructure projects or communications projects. ... The second point is around technology substitution. Wireless in the last two years has really proliferated into other traditional services. You’re allowing customers to make the choice: They can either clip the wire on their phone at home or use their minutes, which used to be long-distance minutes and now are any-distance minutes, on wireless.

So Sprint is fortunate enough to play on both sides of that equation. Technology substitution is certainly a big part of that. ... From a Sprint perspective, Sprint is a very stable, solid company but with a financial performance ... not unlike other companies that had taken on a lot of debt. As the economy started to turn, and that became a burden to the company, Sprint took some significant action to address that. Fortune magazine just came out last week and Sprint is the 54th largest company in the country. Sprint has $27 million in revenues and 25 million-plus customers. We are the only company that has two national networks and a national brand, so from a starting point of those assets, I certainly like how we are positioned to take advantage of that. ... As the economy will hopefully turn somewhat over the next few months or the next year or so, I think Sprint is wellpositioned to take advantage of that. ALUMNUS: You mentioned earlier about your 100-day plan. Would you talk a little bit about that in the context of the challenges for Sprint? FORSEE: Coming into any new situation, you’d like to have a fast start. (continued on the next page) MSM-UMR ALUMNUS / Winter 2003

How did your UMR education prepare you toi youi cateeff

From the context of what I saw coming in, I think there was a need to reach out and communicate very clearly to the key constituents. That includes our employee base — our company did go through some turmoil in the last few months with the succession issue so widely talked about — and communicating to our customers about how stable and sound the company Sprint is and what our advantages are. It also includes communicating to our shareholders, making sure they know their investment is in the right place with Sprint, and finally, to our business partners, that with the environment we’re in, you can’t do it all by yourself. ... Using my coming to the company as an opportunity to communicate with those groups is very important. The other part of the 100-day plan is to get all of the issues that any company has ... in front of my senior team. And to the extent we can accelerate our progress on those and make decisions, then we are taking the opportunity to do that. It’s very energizing — not just for me coming in brand new, but also for the senior team that I work with. ALUMNUS: How would you describe your leadership style? 6

MSM-UMR ALUMNUS /Winter 2003

FORSEE: First, you have to be able to understand the issues. ... There is no substitute for being able to go deep on issues and at the same time be able to understand which things are important. So prioritization is very important. There are so many things going on in any company, so many issues — certainly in a company as broad as Sprint — that you could drown trying to cover all those. So understanding what all the priorities are and being sure the plans are put in place to focus on those is very important. Probably another aspect of my style is focus. Having a clear agenda and putting that in motion and staying on point for that agenda is an important part of a manager’s leadership style. ALUMNUS: How did your UMR education prepare you for your career? FORSEE: I think it prepared me for a lot of things. This was a very hard curriculum, and it prepared all of us who have gone through this university for how hard we’d have to work to achieve something. Understanding that toughness was an important part of that. Sometimes I wish I’d have worked harder, looking back at some of those challenges. But I think the campus life

prepared you to understand how important working with teams is. I had a great experience with the college fraternity I was in (Kappa Sigma), and the campus activities I was involved in — so at least in my case that really helped me understand the importance of getting along with people, a big group of people who are diverse in their backgrounds. Also, from the leadership standpoint, (I learned) how to make that diverse group of people work together for a common interest. ALUMNUS: Tell me a little bit about life outside of Sprint, a little bit about your family and things you like to do.

FORSEE: It starts with my wife of 31 years, Sherry. We have moved 16 times, so I have to give Sherry full and equal credit — probably disproportionate credit — for where I am. She has been a big part of that along the way. We have two wonderful daughters: Melanie, who’s 26 and lives in Kansas City and is a UMC grad, and our younger daughter, Kara, who graduated with a degree in biology last spring and is now a first-year vet school student (at UMC). They’ve been great. We’ve moved all over the country. I had a European assignment (with Global One) and we tolerated some fairly difficult times with moves and all those issues along the way. So family has been a big part of my decision to consider the Sprint opportunity. ALUMNUS: And what do you do in your spare time?

The Sprint Connection: Educating Kansas City minorities by Mary Helen Stoltz mhstoltz@umr.edu By day, Dan Justice, AE'88, is the engineering coordinator for Metropolitan Community Colleges in Kansas City, Mo. He spends most of his time teaching classes at any of the four MCC campuses. By night or at least in his spare time Justice helps coordinate the MCC/UMR Sprint Minority Engineering Scholarship Program.

FORSEE: Well I always thought a good bit about balance and giving back. I’ve been involved for a number of years with the March of Dimes organization and currently serve on the board of trustees. No matter where you are along the career path, looking back, trying to contribute and give back is a lesson I learned early on. I also like to golf on occasion. Reading and exercise, those are spare-time activities. ALUMNUS: If you were UMR’s commencement speaker, what would you tell new graduates today? FORSEE: I would tell them to enjoy the moment. When you’re here as a student and enjoying the student experience, as I’ve told my own kids, be sure that you soak up all there is in the college experience because that is a life and a foundation experience. (continued on page 8)

Dan Justice

He does it as a volunteer because he thinks MCC and UMR, in partnership with Sprint, are giving Kansas City-area minorities a chance they might not otherwise have. The chance for an engineering education - and better yet, a career. Justice also believes the program is vital for Sprint. "Diversity strengthens the entire engineering

field," says Justice. "Diversity in and of itself is a worthy goal. "There are a lot of ethnic minority kids coming out of the Kansas City school district who really have a lot of potential; they just haven't had a chance to show it yet,” Justice says. The Sprint program lets these students grasp the engineering and science basics - as well as the discipline college study requires - at a smaller school before transferring to UMR. Modeled after a successful existing program between UMR and the Emerson Co. in St. Louis, the Sprint Minority Engineering Scholarship Program was established at UMR in 1996 to attract minority students into engineering programs arguably a challenge for a rural Midwestern school like UMR. Floyd Harris, Psyc 74, director of UMR's Minority Engineering and Science program, recognized Missouri's community colleges were an untapped market for engineering students. So when Bill Vest, vice president of network engineering at Sprint, approached Harris about supporting the Minority Engineering Program at UMR, as well as his desire to recruit more graduates -

(continued on the next page)

MSM-UMR ALUMNUS/Winter 2003 7

including minorities - from the university, Harris jumped at the opportunity to model the Emerson program in the Kansas City area. Sprint's investment in the program pays to send minority pre engineering students to a Kansas City-area community college for pre-engineering courses, then on to UMR to finish their degree. But Sprint officials know they'll see a valuable return on that investment. They'll end up with well-educated, well-trained staff engineers. "Five qualified students are selected for the program each year, based on their interest in engineering, academic record in high school, letters of recommendation and an interview process," explains Jeff Akerly, manager of university relations and recruiting for Sprint. After earning an associate's degree from MCC, the students transfer to UMR. In addition to the scholarships they receive, the students are able to intern at Sprint, gaining valuable work experience. Those who graduate with an engineering degree are often offered full-time positions with Sprint. "Their academic preparation and work experience make these students very attractive to Sprint as it recruits college graduates," Akerly says. A licia (Lee) McDonald, EE 01, MS EMgt'03, is one such graduate. The most recent recruit from the program, McDonald began a full time position at Sprint in June. She works in the Network Operations Center of the local telephone division. McDonald was a struggling engineering student at the University of Missouri-Columbia when she met Justice, who first introduced her to the Sprint program.

A licia McDonald

"I had decided to take a break from engineering, but instead just took a break from the four-year university," McDonald says. She returned to Kansas City and was accepted to the Sprint program at Longview Community College, eventually transferring to the electrical and computer engineering department at UMR. McDonald describes her whole experience with the Sprint Minority Scholarship Program as wonderful and says her education has served her well already. "Right now I'm just training, and I'm getting to use things I learned in my undergraduate courses," she says. Eboni Cunningham, CpEng'02, the second graduate of .the Sprint program, graduated from the same high school in Kansas City as McDonald, but the two never crossed paths until they met in the Sprint program. Cunningham puts her engineering background to work in the switch and power engineering group of the local telephone division in Sprint's New Century, Kan., Western Operations Engineering office. As a switch engineer, she maintains the central office switching equipment. (continued on page 10)

I would also tell graduates to not be afraid of what’s out there, and to stretch themselves as they go through their career and not be afraid to take risks, not be afraid to make mistakes. The final message would be to give back. ALUMNUS: Which teachers have had an influence in your life? FORSEE: I think teaching probably started at home. My father was a professional person and my mother was a stay-at-home mom, so I had plenty of support and encouragement to get involved and to also ensure that I achieve what I could possibly achieve with my capabilities. So there was always a high expectation at our house. If I look at the success my younger brothers had and my older sister had when she was still living — that was something, I think, that started at home. So along the way, then, you look for reinforcement, whether it is from teachers in high school and college or Boy Scout leaders or business people I worked for along the way. Certainly I had a lot of great teachers, whether they were bosses or parents or actual teachers. ALUMNUS: Let’s talk about technology. Will connectivity remain a driving force for new communications technology in the short and long term? FORSEE: I think the technology changes that are going on are just incredible. I came into town last night, and I came in armed with an Ethernet connection for my computer with an 802.11 (wireless) connection for my computer and a 3G (third-generation mobile network), which is off the Sprint wireless network connection for my computer. I’m equipped with a trio device that has all my real-time email, my calendar, my contact list, and all my phone numbers stored in it. I think the opportunities are to provide more (continued on page 10)

Eboni Cunningham

From early in the program, Cunningham interned at Sprint every summer and winter break, Those internships gave her valuable experience that has really paid off in more ways than one. Although she only started full time in 2002, Sprint considers her time as an intern as years of regular employment. "They've actually bridged that service to give me five years of service with the company," Cunningham says. She had always liked science and math, but it wasn’t until she met with a UMR representative at her high school that Cunningham decided engineering was the way to go. She was accepted into the Sprint program and started her coursework at Longview. "The good thing was that the engineering instructors graduated from Rolla so they were able to really prepare us for what we could expect at UMR," Cunningham says. Cunningham truly realizes the value of the opportunity she was given. "My education from UMR has made me very detailed and descriptive. I have good writing skills and a good technical background," she says. "There has been a bit of a learning curve since I'm not in the exact

she wanted to be an engineer. "I knew I loved math and was interested in how things worked," she says. "The older I got it became more challenging because it seemed this field was totally dominated by men and even less sought after by minorities." Kennedy is a network system engineer at Sprint. "I do access testing for the Sprint Technology Integration Center Lab, where basically I ensure the equipment works the way it is supposed to."

Kennedy is grateful for the opportunity the Sprint Scholarship Program provides women and minorities - the chance to acquire valuable work experience and get a quality education from UMR. "The Sprint scholarship was a great opportunity for me," Kennedy says. "I am forever grateful for the financial help and experience it provided for me and my family."

interconnection for networks that have historically not been connected. In Sprint’s case, that’s connecting the national wireless network along with the national IP (Internet) data network and making those networks work together for business customers and for consumers. (The wireless interface) 802.11 is again one of those interesting concepts that’s getting a lot of press. This week’s Business Week front cover article is about 802.11 creating the applications and the security for data that’s going to travel over those new networks. New technologies (for those applications) will lag a little bit, but hopefully we’ll catch up quickly. ALUMNUS: Looking into the future five to 10 years, what do you think will become the commonplace technologies that both individuals and businesses will use? And what technologies will we not be able to do without? FORSEE: The first aspect would be a lot more integration of what would have been disparate networks. I think high-speed becomes a part of that — whether its high speed from a wireless standpoint or high speed from a wire line or what the cable companies or the traditional telephone companies are providing. ... Over time you’re going to see a lot more applications that will allow integration. ALUMNUS: Final question: How long should you let the phone ring before you pick it up? FORSEE: It depends on whether you’ve got caller ID or not. (Laughs.) Caller ID is a great call-screener. Buy it as quickly as you can.

Research emphasis:

Most exciting work: “A primary focus of my work is to determine how to prevent antibiotics and endocrine-disrupting compounds from reaching the consumer by monitoring their occurrence in the environment, and through development of treatment methods that will remove or destroy them at their point of generation or in water treatment plants.” Makes a difference at UMR by: “Developing a premier environmental engineering program at UMR. We have been highly successful at recruiting outstanding faculty, students and staff to support our educational mission, our externally funded research initiatives and our state-of-the-art instrumentation and research facilities. There are currently five permanent faculty, research faculty, and approximately 30 Ph.D. and master’s students in the program. A new B.S. program in environmental engineering started last fall in our civil, architectural and environmental engineering department.”

Research emphasis: Carbonate petrology and geochemistry applied to understanding the way sedimentary rocks, buried deep in the Earth’s crust, change over geological time due to the movement of saline fluids. Most exciting work:

“Researching 300 million-year-old limestones and dolomites in the southern Irish Midlands. These rocks hold the largest zinc deposits in Europe. We have learned a great deal about how fluids have moved and what kind of fluids existed deep in the Earth’s crust in a geologically complex area.”

Research emphasis:

Mine safety and health, computer applications in mining,

and coal mining.

Most exciting work: “Trying to pin down systemic problems and issues in small mines and bring public attention to health and safety problems. There are cultural and physical differences between small mines (fewer than 50 employees) and large mines. Targeting and prioritizing the safety issues that will have the greatest impact on improving small-mine safety has been a real challenge.” Makes a difference at UMR by:

“Coordinating an Energy Interest Group among UMR faculty, which led to the establishment of the new Energy Research and Development Center. I also worked with the mining engineering faculty to establish the master of engineering degree in mining engineering, an online degree program for experienced mining professionals.”

SHUBHENDER KAPHA Missouri Soybean Research Professor, UMR Center for Environmental Science and Technology (CEST)

Research emphasis: Multidisciplinary, from analytical biochemistry to composite materials, with an overall theme of enhancing the environment through conservation, reutilization, and products derived from renewable — mainly agricultural — resources. Most exciting work: Works with seven colleagues from four departments on projects that include biogenic oil-based obscurants - “fog oil” - for the U.S. Army, urethane foam derived from soy hulls with properties superior to conventional urethane foams, and soybean oil-derived epoxy resins for beverage can coatings and composite materials. Makes a difference at UMR: “I have a chemist’s bias that chemistry is the central science. CEST researchers have been very successful in developing new ideas, and have obtained four patents just this year. I have also been very active in post-graduate education. This year alone five students in my research group received Ph.D.s.”

MING C. LEU Keith and Pat Bailey Missouri Professor of Mechanical Engineering

Research emphasis:

Virtual reality-based simulation; rapid prototyping

and manufacturing.

Most exciting work: “I have developed new technology - rapid-freeze prototyping — which uses a computer-design model to build 3-D parts out of ice by depositing and rapidly freezing water droplets in layers. I am also working on a system to build complex, three-dimensional ice parts accurate enough for commercial use, and developing technology that uses fabricated ice patterns to make dental castings from digital images of patient anatomy.” Makes a difference at UMR by:

“My passion for education and research. I enjoy mentoring graduate and undergraduate students and young faculty members who have great potential and bright futures ahead of them. I feel UMR has many great people and an excellent foundation to build excellent programs. We are moving in the right direction at a fast speed.”

ANN MILLER Cynthia Tang Missouri Professor of Computer Engineering

Research emphasis: Software engineering, including large-scale systems, real-time software, and software management; information assurance, including computer and network security and software reliability. Most exciting work: “The new Trustworthy Systems Lab we established at UMR with a National Science Foundation grant to develop more reliable computer-based networked systems that can survive attacks and other security threats. Also, I chair the Information Systems Technology Panel for NATO, which allows me to interface with information technology leaders from all the NATO countries.” Makes a difference at UMR by:

“I have developed two new courses (one on real-time systems and one on computer network security) and co-developed two other courses, one on systems and software engineering (with Dr. R. Joe Stanley) and one on network-centric systems engineering (with Dr. Cihan Dagli) — all with a practical focus and most of which require a team project that allows our students to explore very current topics and increase their team skills.”

j|gg|M Research emphasis:

New technologies to improve the performance of

constructed facilities.

Most exciting work: Collaborative work with the Missouri Department of Transportation to improve the load-carrying capacity of bridges. “We have an opportunity to showcase technology generated at UMR and, more importantly, address and provide solutions to critical needs of the state and the nation.” Makes a difference at UMR by: “I hope that my leadership will help faculty, staff and students understand that teamwork is key to success in every sense. Teamwork does not necessarily mean that individuals cannot operate on their own, but that at any time one is aware of the implications of his or her work in the context of the group.”

VON L. RICHARDS Robert V. Wolf Missouri Professor of Metallurgical Engineering j

Research emphasis: Materials and molding processes for metals casting; cast-alloy properties enhancement; molten metal reactions in scrap melting. Most exciting work: “It is hard to choose between age-strengthening of cast iron and prevention of mold-shell cracking in investment casting. I received the Howard Taylor Award from the American Foundry Society for a paper on age-strengthening of gray cast iron.” Makes a difference at UMR by:

“Having come to UMR to participate in an already excellent metals-casting program, I enhance the research activity in metals casting at this point.”

Research emphasis: Assessing natural hazards such as earthquakes, slides and floods. “I hope to develop new techniques of terrain analysis using electronic models to identify earth movement hazards, allowing computers to do what now requires the skilled eyes of an experienced geomorphologist.” Most exciting work: “Evaluating an enormous rockfall avalanche that dammed a creek in the headwaters of the Rio Grande River in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado.” Also: “Mapping earthquake-induced landslides along Crowley’s Ridge, between Helena, Ark., and Cape Girardeau, Mo. - a distance of almost 240 miles.” Makes a difference at UMR by: “In the spring of 2002,1created a new course on military geology to study how various aspects of combat engineering and military logistics evolved into the complex interactive force that exists today. The idea is to make students ‘think outside the box’ of conventional manual-driven military doctrine.”

Most exciting work: “Jingyu Wang, PhD EE’02, and I developed a software package to optimally design distribution feeders using artificial intelligence methods. I consider this work to be a landmark development in this field.” Makes a difference at UMR by: “Over the last nine years I chaired the electrical and computer engineering department and helped it become one of the strongest departments on campus. I did not do this alone; it was a strong team effort of the ECE faculty and staff.”

Research emphasis: Electrochemical synthesis of nanomaterials. “We are producing materials with nanometer-scale dimensions - one-billionth of a meter.” These “designer solids” include semiconductor and magnetic materials. “The method we use, electrodeposition, is much like that used to electroplate metals, but our focus is on metal oxide semiconductors and magnetic materials.” Most exciting work: “Right now, we are using electrochemistry to produce chiral or ‘handed’ surfaces. We hope to use these surfaces for the synthesis and sensing of such chiral molecules as pharmaceuticals. We recently reported on this work in the British journal N ature .” Makes a difference at UMR by: Educating quality students to do quality research. “My research group typically consists of students from chemistry, physics, chemical engineering and ceramic engineering.”

DONALD C. WUNSCH II Mary K. “Jimmie” Finley Missouri Professor of Computer Engineering

Research emphasis:

Computational intelligence, mainly neural networks.

Most exciting work:

“The project on Intrusion Detection for Computer Security is very exciting, and so is bioinformatics. My group is also working on improved control systems for the electric power grid, which is a very important problem given the recent, increasingly frequent disruptions. We have some results on a famous problem, the Traveling Salesman Problem, that eclipse other neural network approaches by a factor of more than 1 0 0 .1 expect this to spin off several interesting applications.”

Makes a difference at UMR by: “I believe that undergraduates benefit from contact with researchers, and I have been happy to teach them a variety of courses. I also created several new courses that will hopefully make an enduring positive impact on our curriculum. Seven of my students are near completion of their Ph.D. They are an outstanding group and will form the future of the university and the field.”

REZA ZOUGHI Schlumberger Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering

Research emphasis: Microwave and millimeter-wave nondestructive testing and evaluation. “I direct the research activities at the Applied Microwave Nondestructive Testing Laboratory in the electrical and computer engineering department.” Most exciting work: The development of a handheld “microwave camera” that can see through non-conducting materials and provide high-resolution 3-D images on the interior of objects and composite structures. Makes a difference at UMR by: “I have a great passion for teaching — in particular at the undergraduate level. I am able to explain complex electromagnetic ideas in a simple language for students to understand and become interested in the field. Interaction with undergraduate and graduate students is of utmost importance in my daily work and I believe it is through a hands-on teaching approach that I continue to make a positive impact in students’ lives.”

iffani Rhodes is surrounded by constant reminders of what

Thappened on that early Sunday morning last December. There are the scars on her left arm from the injuries and subsequent surgeries. There is the occasional pain, a vestige from the injuries, and from the rehabilitation and conditioning work she does to get back in shape. And there are the photographs, visible to her on a daily basis: one picturing her in the days following the accident that totaled her automobile on that December morning; and another of the wrecked car itself, its roof caved in. For Rhodes, the scars, the pain and the photographs all serve as reminders of where she was — and as a means of inspiration to keep her working on a full recovery from an accident that could have ended not only her basketball career, but also her life. As the UMR women's basketball team prepared to open practice Oct. 15, many eyes were on a Lady Miner roster that included 10 new players. But the eyes were also upon Rhodes, as she continued a remarkable comeback from a horrific early-morning car accident on Dec. 8, 2002. Watching Rhodes take the floor for that first practice was a scene unimaginable just 10 months earlier.

spots," Eads says. "We're counting on her to be a productive player there." Simply being in a position to be a productive player is more than anyone expected in the days immediately following the accident. The Lady Miners had returned home around midnight from Searcy, Ark., where they had played for the two previous days at Harding University. UMR had lost both games in the event, and in the last game, a 66-48 loss to Ouachita Baptist, Rhodes was scoreless. She made only two of 18 shots in the two games. As the team was scheduled to have Sunday off, Rhodes decided to drive 90 miles up the road to Columbia to visit her boyfriend, Scott Holly, BSci'02, a former UMR men's basketball player. As Rhodes drove northbound on U.S. 63 that morning, she reached a winding stretch of the highway north of Freeburg, Mo., and despite driving at the speed limit, began to have difficulties keeping her car on the road. "For me, that's the worst part of the trip because of all the curves there," Rhodes says. "I had gone around one curve and was coming up to another one. I was driving fine and I don't recall hitting anything, then the back end of my car started to fishtail. So I cut my wheel to stay on the

expressway to recovery "The doctors' initial prognosis was that it would be several months before she would even be back in school — and she was back the second semester," says Lady Miner head coach A lan Eads. "The doctors attributed much of that to our pre-season conditioning program, because she was in decent shape when the accident happened. She steadily got better, much more so in relationship to what they initially anticipated. "I know she feels very fortunate that she's able to play," he says. She sees this as a second chance, because none of us — including Tiffani herself — were sure whether she would ever be able to play again. She's been working extremely hard as a result." In the initial days after the accident, Rhodes resigned herself to the notion that her basketball career was over. "They didn't think I was going to be paralyzed, but that was going to depend on how my neck healed," she says. "They said I wouldn't play basketball again at all." Prior to the accident, Rhodes was averaging 12.2 points per game with four double-figure scoring performances in the first six games. According to Eads, Rhodes will be expected to contribute in some fashion this season, although her role has not yet been defined. "We're expecting her to play the two-spot for us and maybe even some at the three and four

road for a second and then after that, I blacked out. When I woke up, I was at the bottom of this ditch. "At the time, I had no clue where I was. When I first woke up from the accident, I thought I was dreaming. I didn't remember leaving my house, I didn't remember driving — I thought I was in a really bad nightmare. I closed my eyes and I was like, whew, I just want to go back to sleep." Rhodes was trapped in her wrecked vehicle in the bottom of that ditch, with serious injuries. "When I finally realized what had happened, I tried to move. But my left leg was hanging outside the car door, my left arm and body were jammed up against the car door and my head was just kind of hung over. "I tried to lift my head but it really didn't move. Then I tried to lift my right arm and that moved. But the next thing when I noticed my leg, the initial thought was, 'Oh my gosh, I'm probably paralyzed,' so I tried kicking my legs and they moved. So then after that, I thought 'OK, you need to make some noise'." Rhodes tried to scream for help and honked her horn, but no help came. The accident occurred in a remote stretch of highway where there were no homes, and at a time of little traffic. (continued on the next page)

So after a couple of minutes of trying to get help, Rhodes, weakening from her injuries, fell asleep in the car. Fortunately for Rhodes, one of the head lights on her car was still operating. Some people on their way home from a paper route noticed it and stopped. Rhodes then heard some people calling from the side of the road. "They were yelling, 'Are you okay?' I heard them and screamed back at them, 'No, I'm stuck down here. I've been in an accident. I don't know where I am. I'm scared. Someone please help me.'" The people came down to assist Rhodes and stayed with her until emergency service personnel arrived. "All I knew at this time was that I was in an accident," Rhodes says. "Luckily, I didn't try to move much at all, because when I later found out what my injuries were, that could have been the difference between me walking today and not being able to move from the neck down." Rhodes never really felt the pain from her injuries until after the EMTs started to remove her from the car. Her arm had been broken both above and below the elbow, she had some broken ribs and a broken sternum, as well as bruises to her lungs and aorta. She also sustained fractures in her T-6, C-6 and C-7 vertebrae — meaning that if she had moved her neck as much as "a millimeter" during the time she was trapped in the car, she could have become a paraplegic. The C-6 and C-7 breaks were similar to those suffered by actor Christopher Reeve. "The only reason I stayed in was because I had my seatbelt on," Rhodes said. "The doctors said if I didn't have it on, I probably would have been tossed from the car and would be dead today. I broke my sternum because of that, but a sternum vs. your life? Big, big difference." 52

Rhodes was airlifted to St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis. Holly arrived at the hospital moments after Rhodes, and must have been quite surprised at Rhodes' demeanor. Even in those initial hours, she was cracking jokes to lift Holly's spirits. When her parents arrived from Detroit, she apologized for wrecking the car. "I was hurting, but nothing clicked with me that something was seriously wrong. I figured that maybe I had a broken arm because it was hurting so bad, but I had a neck collar on so I couldn't see anything. I think I was there about two days before I found out. "No one wanted to tell me what had happened. The first night I was in pain, but the next morning I was in excruciating pain where I couldn't move anything. My whole body had

there was no explanation for how well I was doing," Rhodes says. "They said a lot of it probably had to do with my age and the fact that I was in good shape before I got in there. They attributed a lot of the recovery to that." So only two weeks after entering the hospital, Rhodes left St. John's on her own two feet — and went home to Detroit for Christmas. During the holidays, Rhodes saw Dr. David Collins, a team doctor for the Detroit Red Wings who also worked with her after she tore

swollen and during those first few days, when anyone tried to touch me or move me, it was the worst pain I've ever felt." Amazingly, by the end of that week, this woman who had been one move away from becoming a paraplegic was on her feet. "At the end of the week, they were just dumbfounded;

her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) as a high school junior. Her rehab continued in Rolla under the guidance of Scott and M a rik a y P ortell, the owners of Sport Rehab, which handles UMR's training needs. In the days preceding her release from St. John's, Rhodes received some news that quickly changed her outlook on the future. "At first, my only goal was to be able to function normally," Rhodes says. "I said at the

program — including running and lifting — and has done pretty well. But she still has a ways to go to get into basketball shape." "I do have to get used to playing again," says Rhodes. "The pre-season has been very hard, but I've been making it. My back still hurts and sometimes my arm does too. I get a cramp every day and I've never experienced that before.... I do have to stretch a lot more before I start. I've also changed my diet — drinking a

Holly missed the 2000-01 season after tearing a quadriceps muscle a week before the season opener and went through an extensive rehab process of his own to return for his senior year. The next season, he finished as the Miners' second-leading scorer. "He has helped me out a lot," Rhodes says. "There would be some times when I would feel a little blah and he would say, 'Are you serious?' He helped me put a lot of stuff in perspective. "That's where he helped me the most. You can't live in the past. If you do, there's nothing for you in the future.... He always tells me that you can't do that to yourself or you'll get discouraged. It's the truth. "I'm able to do so much and that's what I'm thankful for. It might get better, it might not, but it won't be for a lack of effort."

time that I didn't care if I ever played basketball again and that was the truth, because at that time my main concern was being able to heal and walk and do stuff on my own. As I started to get better, the doctors told me that they thought I'd be able to play again.... I said to myself, Til play next season.... I know I'll play next season.' That's the goal I gave myself and stuck to it." Rhodes proved to be a quick healer. Not only was she walking within a week and out of the hospital in two. In just over a month, she returned to classes in Rolla. In less than three months, she had the halo brace off and had begun strengthening her neck by spending a little more time daily without her neck brace. When she began rehab, Rhodes had difficulty moving her left arm, which was fractured in the wreck, but has regained most of its range of motion. "With the left arm, I had to relearn everything — all the way from lifting my arm above my head to dribbling a basket ball. When I started dribbling again, I wasn't able to flip my wrists back and forth." When Rhodes first learned last January that she would be able to return to school, her parents had reservations. "I wouldn't have made it without my parents," Rhodes says. "When I was at home and told my parents I wanted to try to come back to school, they were saying that they didn't know if I would be strong enough. But my doctor said, 'If you feel you can do it, I don't see any reason why you can't.' About a week later, my mom was packing up to come down with me." She stayed three months. "I owe tons to her. There's no way I can pay her back," Rhodes adds. "She came here and took me everywhere. Otherwise, I would have wound up being a semester behind." The hardest part about last winter for Rhodes was being able to do nothing more than sit and watch the Lady Miners play. There were days in practice near the end of the season when Rhodes would take a ball and throw it up at the basket with her right hand — and the coaches would tell her to sit down. By spring break, Rhodes' doctors had cleared her to begin more vigorous activity. "Everything was another step toward getting back this year. For example, if I could go in the gym and shoot from the three-point line — which I didn't have the strength to do before — I would say, 'Oh my goodness.' I've used every thing as motivation, even stuff that didn't go as I wanted it to go. I just had to remember where I was coming from." The hardest part for Rhodes has been getting back into shape to play basketball. "Healthwise, she's pretty much at 100 percent," says Eads. "She's been able to do everything in our pre-season conditioning

"I'm able to do so much and that's w h at I'm thankful for. It might get better, it might not, but it w on't be for a lack of effort." lot more water and eating a lot healthier. I really have to work a lot harder because there are a lot more things that I have to be worried about.... It crosses my mind that I can't do some of the things I could before. I'm still getting my shooting back. But otherwise, I just try and play." Holly has been a good guide for Rhodes during the recovery process. He had first-hand knowledge of coming back from a serious injury.

Rhodes envisions a season that would include taking the court at Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium with the rest of the Lady Miners on March 4 for a first-round game in the Sonic/MIAA Basketball Championships. She and her current teammates have never played in a conference tournament game. "If we can do that, you'll never hear me complain again," she says.

They don't call it 'vomit comet' for nothing D avid Harris, a senior in aerospace engineering,

UMR team members hope their experim ents w ill help NASA identify w ays to build structures in space.

Winter 2003

now knows why they call NASA's KC-135 aircraft the "vomit comet." Last July, Harris led a team of seven other UMR students and two Rolla Senior High School students on a trip aboard the KC-135 to conduct welding experiments in near-zero gravity conditions. The vomit comet flies in parabolic patterns to create a temporary environment of near weightlessness, and NASA uses it to conduct a variety of experiments. With Harris and three other UMR students on board, the plane zoomed from about 24,000 feet to roughly 32,000 feet, and then back down in an arc. The parabolic trip generates enough inertia to create about 25 seconds of micro-gravity - a brief window for experiments in near-weightlessness. "I had never gotten motion sickness before," says Harris, "but this was a completely different environment." According the NASA officials working with the team, Harris' reaction was not unusual, and not the worst case of motion sickness they'd seen. "They said, 'At least you could walk yourself off the plane and didn't have to be carried like some others we've seen'." Last spring, the UMR students proposed their experiment to NASA, which chose UMR as one of 72 teams to fly an experiment aboard the vomit comet. The vomit comet doubled as a command module for Tom Hanks and other cast members during the filming of the movie Apollo 13.

"It was an amazing experience and we successfully completed our experiment,â&#x20AC;? says Harris. The group welded eight different samples during two, two-hour flights. The team hopes their experiments will help NASA identify ways to build structures in space. Since the July flight, team members have been evaluating how their microgravity welds hold up in comparison to welds done on Earth. The group plans to finish its analysis by the end of the fall semester 2003. "Any advance in making construction in space easier is beneficial. If a means by which welding can be done easily and reliably can be developed, it would be very useful to future construction in space," says H ank P ern ick a, associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. Pernicka and H ai-Lung Tsai, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, are the team's advisors. Harris says the team may get to do this again next year because of this year's success. If so, however, "I think I'll retire my flying license and let someone else do the flying next year while I stay on the ground." Working with Harris were UMR students M ik e D ancer, Jason G a llag h e r and Kathy G allagher, all of whom flew aboard the KC-135; ground crew member and alternate flyer A dam G orrell; and ground crew members Jam es Dym ott Regan T a c k e t and Jam es Tinsley. Rolla High School students K arthik B ala k ris h n a n and A ndrea Krive both served on the ground crew.

A B lip in G e o l o g ic T im e Geologists are accustomed to thinking in terms of epochs and eras, so a century is a mere blip on their timetable. Nevertheless, there is reason to celebrate the longevity of the UMR geology and geophysics department, which turned 100 in 2003. Although geology has existed as an academic discipline since the campus opened in 1871, the department did not officially stand alone until 1903, when it was established by a geologist of some renown, MSM Director George E. Ladd. Even before becoming an official department, geology at MSM had already made a name for itself. According to A History of Geology and Geophysics: 1871-2003, by A.C. Spreng, professor emeritus of geology and geophysics, MSM displayed more than 3,500 Missouri minerals, building stones and specimens at the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. The school also contributed a mineral display for the St. Louis World’s Fair in 1904. MSM received a gold medal from the fair’s sponsors, and Ladd secured more than $40,000 in fixtures, furniture and display cases, as well as the rock, mineral and fossil specimens for the department of geology and mineralogy. Since 1950, the department has housed several programs. They included a water resource to study the water flow and water contamination in the Ozark Plateau area; a geophysical observatory, located in McCormick Cave near Newburg, Mo., that recorded area earthquake activity; and a weather station that Spreng took over in 1958 and continues to manage for the National Weather Service. 56

Renovated CE building opens K um m er A trium

Still abuzz from news of their program's top 25 ranking in the latest U.S. News and World Report college guide, several alumni and faculty of the civil, architectural and environmental engineering department celebrated the official opening of their newly renovated building on Sept. 12-13. The celebration began with a public ceremony on Friday, Sept. 12, followed by a dinner featuring U.S. Sen. Kit Bond as guest speaker on Saturday, Sept. 13. The newly renovated and expanded Butler-Carlton Civil Engineering Building features computerized "smart boards" in many classrooms, is outfitted for wireless computing, and features transparent architecture designed to teach students about construction and structural engineering even as they pass through the structure. It also features some of the most modern civil engineering research facilities in Missouri and surrounding states,

says department chair W illia m Schonberg. They include a three-story high-bay structures laboratory, which allows researchers to conduct heavy-duty testing of full-scale steel beams and other large construction materials; an expanded hydraulics laboratory designed for the real-time study of rainfall; a rooftop greenhouse for the study of wetlands and environment-cleansing trees; and interconnected environmental engineering laboratories and classrooms. Originally opened in 1960 — before the era of computers, wireless technology or centralized air-conditioning — the building was named the Butler-Carlton Civil Engineering Building in 1978 in honor of former civil engineering chairs Joe B. B utler and E.W. "Skip" Carlton The renovation and expansion project began in the fall of 1999. The 143,000-square-foot structure includes 100,000 square feet of new space that includes

29 classrooms, the three-story structures laboratory, the hydraulics lab and an expanded construction materials laboratory. The 43,000 square feet of renovated space includes a student advising complex, computer learning centers, a geotechnical engineering laboratory, graduate research offices and labs, a senior design lab, large classrooms, the Needles Seminar Room (named after Enoch N eedles, CE'14), student lounge areas, and two new lecture halls named for prominent alumni: the Gunther Lecture Hall, funded through a gift from Don (CE'60) and Rosem ary Gunther, and the Neil Stueck Lecture Hall, funded through the estate of Cornelius F.P. Stueck, CE'43. The centerpiece of the new addition is an expansive atrium, funded through a gift from Fred (CE'55) and June Kummer.

, Warm night on Elm Street — The day was cold and rainy, but Nancy Davis and her three children were moving into a warm home of their own at 62 Elm St. in St. James, Mo., thanks to the UMR and Phelps County chapters of Habitat for Humanity. “Generations of students have come together to make this day possible,” said Matt Bleckman, president of the UMR Student Chapter of Habitat of Humanity. The Davis house was the result of a yearlong effort of the two chapters and some UMR fraternity labor. “Basically, it was built during Saturday workdays, so it took longer than usual,” said Bleckman, a senior in computer science and management systems from Washington, Mo. “We’re looking forward to moving on to our next house,” which will be next door.

Fund established to honor Berna Harvey Berna Harvey's dedication to UMR students and her w o rk as SUB advisor to be m em orialized in the Havener Center

A number of Student Union Board alumni have started a fund in memory of Berna Harvey, the SUB advisor from 1968 through 1983, to assist in construction of the Havener Center. Harvey had a tremendous impact on UMR and on the student population. “Mrs. Harvey’s primary concern was always the students,” says Tom Miesner, EMgt’95, who served as SUB president during the 1994-95 school year. “What I learned from her as SUB advisor helped me more than any of my professors.” Other alumni agree, and have related fond memories of Harvey. “One time I was feeling overwhelmed with school, studies, activities, everything and needed something different. I asked Mrs. Harvey if I could come spend the night at her house and of course she said yes,” says Sue (Hadley) Rothschild, CSci’74. “She and Mr. Harvey were so nice to me. They let me get a good night’s sleep, fixed a nice breakfast, and were just the adults I needed at that time.

Kappa Delta receives honors UMR's Epsilon Alpha chapter of Kappa Delta received several awards during the KD National Convention June 26-29. The chapter received the Financial Responsibility Award with individual members receiving the following: Sharon Tally R enick received the Order of the Emerald Award, given for outstanding CAB alumni support to chapters. Sylvia M a e Skouby received KD's highest honor for collegians, the Corre Anding Stegall Leadership Award, for outstanding leadership both on campus and in her sorority. J es sica A pril N ie m e ie r '97 received the Dorothea B. Cavin Scholarship, a $2,000 scholarship for graduate study. The award is named for the late Dorothea B. Cavin, whose significant bequest to Kappa Delta initiated the formation of the Kappa Delta Foundation.

“The SUB office in the old building was just a good place to hang out in,” Rothschild says. “You could almost always find someone there, and I think Mrs. Harvey’s desk must have been right there, too. She probably got tired of us at times, but never showed it. She was the adult I had the most consistent contact with over four years, which we all needed. We weren’t as grown-up as we thought.” Because of her unique personality and dedication to the students, Harvey greatly influenced the lives of many students. She died in 2001, and when alumni heard about the new student center to be built, they believed raising funds in her memory would be an ideal way in which to memorialize Harvey, and to assure that students in the future would know her name. Plans call for naming the Student Union Board office in memory of Harvey. If you would like to help in the fund-raising effort, or if you’d like to make a gift, please email the alumni office at alumni@umr.edu or mail your gift marked “Berna Harvey Fund” to the MSM-UMR Alumni Association, Castleman Hall, 1870 Miner Circle, Rolla, MO 65409-0650.

Several alumni and their family members gathered at the Lawrence-Dumont Stadium in Wichita on Aug. 23 for an endof-summer sporting event. The evening began with a tailgate party, as the Miners geared up to support the Wichita Wranglers as they face the San Antonio Missions. Once inside the baseball park, alumni settled in to cheer on their home team. In the middle of the fifth inning, a much-needed rain storm blew into town and caused a slight delay. After waiting out the storm, the Wranglers were not able to fully dry off. They were defeated by the Missions, 5-3. Many thanks go to Sean Daly for organizing and hosting this event.

The event was even more special because Nolte's parents were also in town to cheer the team on. Marianne Ward, assistant director of alumni and constituent relations, was also on hand to speak with alumni about the latest events happening on campus. Even though there is no alumni section in the area, an incredible number of alumni and friends came out to support the team. In fact, one of the alums was so inspired by this festive occasion that he volunteered to work with the alumni office to start an official alumni section in the area.

Organized and hosted by Jerry Poland and Kenny Cochran, the event offered a full day of food and fun. Thoroughbred racing was only part of the day's activities, as alumni dined on a lavish all-you-can-eat buffet in the Sky Room, located on the exclusive Penthouse Level of the facility. While several alumni tried their luck at picking the winning horses, others tried their hand at the casino. It is reported that no one left the event rich; it is assumed everyone at least "broke even." A short business meeting was also included in the day's agenda. While alumni enjoyed sharing memories of their time at UMR, the merits of gray horse No. 5 versus black horse No. 6 were discussed as well.

Houston alumni, family and friends spent the evening of Sept. 13 at Minute Maid Park, watching the Astros defeat the Cardinals, 2-0, from seats along the first base line near the foul pole. Astros pitcher Roy Oswalt thwarted the Cardinals' offense with seven shutout innings before a sellout crowd of 42,435. The win pushed St. Louis to 41/2 games back in the National League Central Division race. Oswalt allowed four hits, walked no one and struck out eight batters during a 95-pitch outing that gave him the slightest edge over Cardinal pitcher, Matt Morris, who was equally as stingy as Oswalt in the hit column. But Astros player Jeff Bagwell's solo homer off Morris in the fourth and Craig Nicole Tablot and Biggio's RBI Russ Pfeifle enjoy double made the game. the difference during Houston's sixth shutout effort of the season. Even though the Cardinals fans went home with a slightly bruised ego, they still are looking forward to returning to this event next year for a rematch!

Members of the Phoenix Section met on Sept. 27 to help stir up interest in revitalizing their section and to find new section officers. The day's activities started at Alice Cooper'stown Restaurant. The atmosphere was not conducive to a business meeting, but acting-president Dave Akers still found several alumni interested in serving on an executive board and working to help the section move forward. The group then moved to Bank One Ballpark to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks battle the St. Louis Cardinals. The Cardinals came away with the victory, beating the Diamondbacks 3-2 in front of more than 39,000 fans. MSM-UMR alumni were divided in their baseball loyalties, but united by a connection to their alma mater and memories of their time in Rolla. Many thanks go to Akers for organizing and hosting this event. Due to his persistence and hard work, the Phoenix Section will no doubt be hosting many more future events. Those attending included Dave 32 and Becky 34 Akers with Samantha; Karl '62 and

John D. Berwick Jr., M etE: “At 8 6 , 1 am still

active enough to garden and tend to the lawn and shrubs. I have given up golf, but still play bridge and bowl. I have reduced my travel schedule to visiting my three sons, grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.”

ls4 Q s 1940

Eugene L. Olcott, M etE: “I am gradually

exiting the cattle farm activities. In progress is the donation of a 100-acre Potom ac River bluff conservation easem ent. It is too beautiful for any residential building activities.”

1941

Janies W. Jensen, Phys: “We sold our little

ranch in Texas, where we enjoyed raising exotic deer and antelopes for eight years. We returned to North Augusta, S.C., where we are renewing friendships and enjoying fam ily affairs, especially several great grandchildren.”

1943

Douglas N. Christensen, ChE: “After two

years assaulting islands in the Pacific during World War II, I came home and via the GI Bill of Rights, I obtained M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of M aryland, College Park. Then I spent several seasons developing a process for isolating and purifying gallium metal to meet the purity requirem ent for com puter applications. Chem istry is a great laboratory sport. Still have enough energy to ride the range with five grown children (one a professor at UMR) and 13 grandchildren.”

James W. Hoelscher, PetE: “We ju st

celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. Our children gave us a great party with our grandchildren, nieces, nephew s, original m em bers of the wedding party and friends. I am also celebrating 55 years out of M SM U M R .” • Wilden D. Rodden, EE, had a stroke in January and has moved to a nursing home.

Weapons inspector 'on the record' From identifying the nerve agent used in the Tokyo gas attack in 1995 to inspecting chemical weapons in Iraq after the first Gulf War, James W. Poarch, ChE'60, has put his chemical engineering expertise to good use for the international community. Now a senior scientist for ITT Industries in Alexandria, Va., Poarch began working as a chemical weapons expert for the United Nations in 1993. His resume includes several UN chemical weapons inspection missions to Iraq after Gulf War I, a stint as chief inspector of Iraq's chemical fertilizer production facilities, a mission to inspect a Russian V-agent nerve gas production facility, and critical involvement in the investigation of the 1995 Tokyo subway gas attack. Poarch identified a key chemical signature that tied the release of the sarin nerve agent to the doomsday cult responsible for the attack. Although he no longer is involved directly with weapons inspections, working with the UN was the highlight of his diverse career.

An interest in manufacturing, however, led Krem to explore the metallurgical field that inspired his family's business. Krem has now run the company for more than 10 years and says he considers his work to be challenging, yet mentally fulfilling.

Williams wins GEM award Ken Williams, EMgt'71, of West Bloomfield, Mich., received the Rev.

Szygenda knows what's good for GM Ralph J. Szygenda, CS'70, group vice president and chief information officer of General Motors Corp. and speaker at the May 2003 UMR commencement, sounds off with eWeek: The Enterprise Newsweekly (www.eweek.com) about the next level in vendor contracting at GM. Szygenda is developing a kind of USB of technology business methods — developing one "port" to connect a variety of services. This new outsourcing philosophy, called "precision information technology," is economical and brings the right technology directly to the business problem, he says. Szygenda is also developing a strategy to get vendors to work together to develop a better overall product.

Still friends after 46 years Eight college friends and former house mates recently met at UMR to catch up with each other and visit their old house on 12th Street. Many of them hadn't spoken in the more the 46 years since graduation, but Don Kissling, GGph'58, says after a few hours together it was "just like old times." This group includes Ray Above: Bucy, ME'58; Jim Lorenz, CE'57; September 2003 Dick Mason, EE'57; Larry Oppliger, outside H aw kins Phys'57; Marion Skouby, CE'58; H all w ith (from Bill Skouby, Central Missouri State left) Vetter, College, Math'59; and C.J.

Skouby (standing), and formerly youthful house mates," Oppliger. says Kissling. "But before the evening was concluded our eyes concentrated instead on well-remembered postures and personal nuances and our ears heard those distinctive voices and the laughter we knew so well so long ago. By the next day it seemed as if we had been separated only a few months, as if this was just another September back-to-school day following a summer vacation. All of us had earned advanced degrees and had gratifying careers as engineers, scientists and educators. We concluded that each of us had been most fortunate in life. Our years at the Missouri School of Mines, and Rolls, played no small part in that"

Audio junkie tunes in to business opportunity Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to listen to your library of songs and movie sounds stored on your computer by tuning into any old stereo? M arshall Strouse, EE'92, thinks so. With the help of the five other members of his crew at Engineered Audio — a St. Louis-based company Strouse launched in 2002 — he created Aurius, a card-deck sized device that lets users listen to music wherever and whenever they want. Aurius is like having your own radio station, says Strouse. Using an FM transmitter, Aurius can send any type of sound stored on the computer through receivers found on stereos and Walkman players. Aurius — recently featured in Forbes Magazine — is just one of the products Engineered Audio is developing. They can be purchased directly from the company's website at www.engineeredaudio.com. UMR played a big role in helping the business get started, says Strouse. Frank Liou, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering and engineering mechanics and director of the manufacturing engineering education program, made prototype plastic cases in UMR's Virtual Reality and Rapid Prototyping Laboratory; Thomas Van Doren,

professor emeritus of electrical and computer engineering, Todd Hubing, professor of electrical and computer engineering, and David Pommerenke, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, allowed Strouse to do testing in the Electromagnetic Compatibility Lab; and Clayton Price, instructor in computer science, helped him find part-time M arshall Strouse programmers for Engineered Audio's software development activities. "Right now we have one UMR alum as a part-time employee, Joe Haas, EE'89, and we hope to employ other UMR grads as soon as we can justify pay," Strouse says. He believes that the education he received from UMR was very worthwhile. "The breadth of my education, be it math, engineering, computer science and even participating on the UMR Formula SAE Team, helped form a great base," he says. "And today I have to wear many hats in marketing, sales, engineering, management, purchasing, and shipping — the fundamentals of which I was exposed to early on at UMR."

Flooded with movie offers, Buerge finally chose the independent film by Cactus Animal Productions for his big screen debut. "It has a unique premise, memorable characters and tells a compelling tale with universal appeal. It reminds me of some of my favorite films such as Almost Famous, American Graffiti and Good Will Hunting," says Buerge in an interview with Cactus Animal Productions. Antlers, set on the University of Missouri-Columbia campus, is written by R. Scott Murphy, a UMC alumnus. The storyline follows Murphy's funny experiences as a student there, including a string of events that occurs when the main character tries to win a girl's heart. Cactus business manager Tracy Caraway says, "We think Aaron has huge potential.

FACULTY PROFILE

A .C . Spreng

Photo by Jonathan Trotter/JMT Photography

For the love o f nature It was in the fields of his childhood home in Ohio where Alfred C. Spreng discovered a great love for the outdoors. He would spend his days digging up Indian arrowheads on his parents' land. Later he expanded this hobby to include collecting plant fossils from the coal beds in central Ohio. By then, Spreng knew he wanted to pursue a career that had something to do with the outdoors. "My high school teacher suggested archaeology, but when I found there were few careers available in that field I switched to another 'ology' — geology." More than half a century has passed since Spreng, professor emeritus of geology and geophysics, joined the MSM-UMR faculty. Because of Spreng's depth of experience and knowledge of UMR's geology program — Spreng began his UMR career in 1950 — department chair Jay Gregg asked Spreng to write A History of Geology and Geophysics: 1871-2003, a historical account in honor of the department's 100th birthday (see story on page 56). Although the study of geology was integral to MSM-UMR in the early years, geology did not become a department until 1903.

"An interesting thing for me was discovering the difficulties faced by the early geology teachers and other staff members in the growing years of the school before the time of World War II," says Spreng. "The small staffs taught many courses and encountered almost continuous budget and equipment problems. Their perseverance impressed me." Spreng's longtime love of nature also made him the perfect candidate to be the MSM-UMR weather man. Since 1958 he has reported the Rolla area weather daily to the National Weather Service, the local paper and other facilities. "Unfortunately for me, the station is not automated, so I have to begin assembling the weather data early in the morning — at about 6:30 a.m. — so that the information can be sent to the national network by 7:30 a.m.," says Spreng. "The weather never stops, so this is an everyday project." Joseph H. Senne, CE'51, professor emeritus of civil engineering, shares Spreng's interest in meteorology and assists him in his daily weather reporting.

Spreng's interest in meteorology was "inspired" by his three years of service as a weatherman in the Army Air Force during World War II. He also minored in meteorology while pursuing his Ph.D. in geology at the University of Wisconsin. Spreng also co-wrote Guidebook to the Geology of the Waynesville, Rolla and St. James Areas, Missouri, with Paul Proctor, the late MSM-UMR professor emeritus of geology and geophysics. Spreng and Proctor also completed a geologic map of the Rolla area for the Missouri Geological Survey. Because of Spreng's many contributions to geology at UMR, he'll soon have his name on the map room in UMR's Curtis Laws Wilson Library. Along with mapping and weather watching, Spreng enjoys traveling. He and his wife, Wealthy, recently traveled to Chile to explore the volcanoes and other natural geographic phenomena — proof that his passion for nature continues to shine through even after all these years.
