That's sort of like asking why a banker goes to work in a bank.

A guy goes to work where the best work is. And some of the best engineering work around today is in and around factories.

What would you say to designing the numerical control system for an automated steel milU

Or developing quality control procedures for the world's most powerful airplane engine?

Or managing a production team responsible for delivering power generation equipment to utility customers?

And what would you say to a General Electric program that puts you right to work on jobs like those?

We figure if you're ready for our Manufacturing Management Program, you're ready for that kind of responsibility. Right from the start.

So our program packs about ten years of manu­facturing experience into about three years of work. And the work will take you all around the country.

Ask GE's top management people what they thought about starting out in a factory. Many will tell you it was the best decision they could have made.

And where will you find those managers today? Running our factories, of course.

ADDED EMPHASIS ON

rome

RECOGNIZING the ever increasing importance of hydrometallurgical processes for the re­

covery of metals, the CSM Department of Metal­lurgy places special emphasis on the development of educational and research facilities in this area. A Hydrometallurgy Research Group, headed by Prof. T. Balberyszski, is now in its second year of existence and has attracted a large number of students from universities throughout the U. S. and overseas.

The Hydrometallurgy Research Group is en­gaged in three major areas of research: 1. Investigations of kinetics of liquid-solid re­

actions in aqueous systems, with particular reference to solubility and metal precipita­tion studies. Investigations of electrodeposition of metals from aqueous and fused salt electrolytes. Investigations of liquid-solid reactions at elevated pressures.

In addition to the above areas of research, plans are underway for the establishment of a High Pressure Laboratory devoted mainly to fundamental studies of the behavior of solids in

3.

aqueous solutions at very high pressures. Spe­cialized equipment is being built for that purpose and it is hoped that this will become a major ef­fort in the field of High Pressure Hydrometal­lurgy.

The varied backgrounds and the international character of the Hydrometallurgy Research Group contribute greatly to the educational process. Many hours are spent by its members on informal discussions and seminars, during which an opportunity is provided to exchange views on topics of professional and general in­terest. Recognizing the importance of initiative and independent work, programs of study are arranged so as to allow maximum time for l i ­brary research and experimental work. A feeling of team work is encouraged to insure breath as well as depth of knowledge in the general field of hydrometallurgy.

Currently, the following research projects are conducted: 1. Kinetics of co-deposition of Ni+ + and

Cu+ + ions from a CUSO4-HHSO4 electrolyte —John Gathje (USA).

F E B R U A R Y , 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z I N E

M O D E R N E Q U I P M E N T for electrochemical studies is used by John Gathje in his investigations of C u + + - N [ + + deposition.

2. Optimization of process parameters for a continuous copper cementation system—Li­bardo Ibagos (Columbia).

3. Kinetics of precipitation of tin from tin sul­fate solutions—^Zenon Llanos (Bolivia).

4. Electrorefining of Titanium from fused salt electrolytes in ultrasonic fields with super­imposed AC current—Marco Ginatta (Italy).

P O L A R O G R A P H I C STUDIES aid Libardo Ibagos in his in-vestlgations of some aspects of copper precipitation.

5. Kinetics of dissolution of CUaO in phosphoric acid—Turgut Ergun (Turkey).

6. Effect of pressure on electrodeposition of copper from copper sulfate solutions—G. V. Rao (India).

7. Effect of certain organic additives on the morphology of electrodeposited zinc.—R. C. Villas-Boas (Brazil).

8. General program in High Pressure research being developed by Prof. T. Balberyszski.

Additional members of the Group are Mr. Sareyed-Dim (Brazil) and Mr. R. Eaman (USA).

rIOR many, the word research brings to mind a sterile glass and stamless steel buildmg which holds together

countless cubicles containing faceless technicians gather­ing endless data for investigators who are catching planes for somewhere else. ^ „ , . ,

Graduate research in the CSM Department ot Metal­lurgical Engineering is a pleasant contrast to that stark stereotype. Competence in scientific research is required of al l students who receive an advanced degree but the emphasis is on the educational aspect of the research rather than on its prestige value. Rea l people are evo lved with a wide variety of interests that extend beyond the laboratory. The technical and social interaction of these people is an important part of the educational process. _

A t present in the Department of MetaUurgical Engi­neering there are 51 f u l l - and part-time graduate students f rom 12 countries on six continents. This group is very close both professionally and socially. Although the re­search .spans the complete spectrum of metallurgical in­terests f rom ore classification to brittle fracture of large steel plate, there is a general curiosity about the research of others. A t the weekly graduate seminars, often the best questions are asked by those students in divisions other than that of the speaker. The social functions cer­tainly have an international flavor and soccer is the pre­dominate athletic endeavor at graduate-staff picnics.

A brief outline of the various research groups wi l l give an indication of the' type of projects currently being pursued and the people who are carrying them out. The mineral processing group is headed by Dr . Rex Bul l , an Englishman by way of Australia and the department's leading advocate of cricket, Rugby and squash. Two Australian students have come half way 'round the world to work in this group. David Spottiswood forsook a promising career on educational T V to investigate " M i x ­ing Regimes in a Bank of Flotation Cel ls ." John Oxen-ford (Figure 1) is finding time f rom his literary and theatrical efforts to work on a flotation plan optimization project. Bob Craig came half-way across Colorado to investigate "The Effec t of Particle Specific Gravity upon Cyclone Classification Performance" while he is not gradmg exam papers. J . A . C. Prashaker is working in the field of classification.

Probably the most sophisticated research group is the one headed by Dr . John Hager. He has established one

of the nation's outstanding mass spectrographic labora­tories and has pubUshed a number of significant thermo­dynamic papers in the past two years. Stanley Howard is engaged in research on "The Thermodynamic Prop­erties of Liquid Metal Solutions" while Adolph Zambrano is studymg the chemisorption of gases onto zmc oxide (Figure 2) V Annamali has recently joined this group and may soon be engaged in a project concerning the thermodynamics of vapor complex formation while J i m Lemmons is begmning work on vapor transport.

The newest faculty member of the Extractive Division is D r T. R. A . Davey, anothei- recent arr ival f rom Aus­tralia He is recognized as a world authority on lead, zinc tin and fine sherries. With great enthusiasm he wi l l discuss' any subject f rom smelting to secondary educa­tion He has akeady formed tiie nucleus for a fme re­search group. John White is engaged in "Refining of Zmc by Fract ional Crystallization." Pau l Marcantonio is m-vestigatmg the "Production of Aluminum by Electi-olysis of Aluminum Chloride" when not engaged in musical or theatrical endeavors. The department's leading soccer player, Vincente Campos, is "Desilverizing Lead by Pre­cipitation with Potassium and Magnesium" while Carlos Blanco wi l l soon be engaged m an investigation of iron-tin alloys.

The hydrometallurgy group headed by Professor Bal­beryszski has been featured elsewhere in this issue. It is an experience to sit m on their weekly seminar where the subject may range f rom the effects of pressure^ on the dissolution of metals to the philosophy of education.

Dr. Gerry Martins has recently arrived i n the depart­ment and has brought with h im expertise in a number of fields f rom mass transfer related to the vacuum de­gassing of metals' to the repair of refrigerators and wash­ing machines. The latter skills have put Dr . Martins in great demand with the less handy faculty members.

Dr. Jack Lubahn heads the mechanical metallurgy group and reports that he has gained contracts with the A r m y Materials Research Center and with the Dow Chemical Company. His fu l l time students include Dary l

Dr. Walter Bradley received an NSF Initiation Grant for work on creep-fatigue processes. Max Glenn is head­ing that project for him and the apparatus that they have designed (Figure 3) may be responsible for seismographic anamolies in the geophysics department. Tom Glenn claims the longest piece of equipment which he uses on a high strain rate deformation project while Sushil Bhambri is completing his work on Quench Hardening of F C C Metals.

Another physical metallurgy group is directed by Dr . B i l l Copeland. Jose Diaz is completing a study of the ef­fect of microstructure on high temperature oxidation. K j e l l Lovold has completed a project on the effect of hydrostatic pressure on fatigue and wi l l begin using the sophisticated apparatus whieh he designed and had built to study effects of pressure' on corrosion fatigue (Figure 4). Richard Weltzin is an I B M Fellow wro has designed a group of experiments relating the state of stress to corrosion rates in steel plates (Figure 5). Professor Betty Beck of the University of Colorado is on an N S F Faculty Fellowship and plans to work on a systems approach to oceanographic materials selection. Soo' Woo N a m is in­vestigating deformation in B C C metals by means of a new micro-deformation technique and Steve Wilhier is improving inoculation procedm'es for the pouring of duc­tile iron.

Dr. Donald Klodt is director of Research Services. In addition he engages in a great number of related activ­ities including chairmanships of technical committees and local chapters of technical societies. He travels a great deal to present papers or represent the college. In his "spare" time he is developing a research group in his fields of interest which include' corrosion, phase equi­l ibr ia and alloy development. Ron Borisch is presently

F I G U R E 5—Richard Welt i in demonstrates his stress-corro­sion experimental apparatus,

equipping the laboratory for the group and studying the resistance of chromium-based alloys to nitridation and embrittlement.

The chairman of the Metallurgy Department, Dr . Paul G. Herold, would not be expected to have much time for research in his field of Ceramic Engineering. Not only are the duties of leader of a major department pressing, but Dr . Herold also has many social and civic responsi­bilities. Ye t he is presently developing a major project concerned with waste disposal which wi l l supplement his other research activities.

Those are the people presently engaged in research in the Department of Metallurgical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines. Whether they are working to­gether or playing together, they are participating in an important educational experience.

X h i e f r i s i h t N C R c o m p u t e r m u c h f a s t e r r Although we haven't really tried to see what our computers could do with smoke signals, NCR engineers have made some amazing things happen.

Consider our NCR printer, for example. The hammers are actually put into free flight, iike ballistic missiles, and stopped by precisely adjustable controis. During their movement in free flight, they reach an accelera­tion many times as great as that of a rocket lifting off Its launching pad. These hammers contact the paper less than 100 millionths of a second.

If that kind of technology goes into our computer peripherals, consider the engineering of our computers themselves. Isn't this the kind of work you'd find interesting? See the NCR representative when he visits your campus. Or write: William G. Banner, Coordinator College Relations

IN cleaning out the file marked 1960 in the Metallurgy office the other day, we came across a cutting fi'om

the Denver Post about Hugh M . Henneberry, a 1943 gradu­ate of the School of Mmes. Hugh was then chief of the applications analysis branch of the nuclear systems divi­sion of N A S A ' s Lewis Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. He was quoted as being "optimistic about America 's chances of putting a man on the moon by 1970." We guess anyone can be excused a 10 per cent error.

I N the same clean-out, we came across a Hst of job of­fers made to the class of 1959. Salaries averaged about

AF T E R 15 years on the faculty of the Department of Metalliu'gical Engineering, Professor Hildreth Frost,

Jr. , has resigned to take up an appointment as chief assayer to the Denver Mint. His position has been ratified by the U . S. Senate, and he assumed his duties on Feb. 1, 1970.

Professor Frost graduated f rom Mines in 1939, and worked as an engineer at the Golden Cycle mine at Cripple Creek unt i l 1941, when he joined Wilson and Co., Engineers, in Pueblo. Shortly after, however, he joined the U . S. A r m y Corps of Engineers and was engaged in a wide range of duties until 1944. He then joined Denver Equipment Co., where he was sales engineer and subse-quentiy chief engineer in charge of development and drafting on mining and mill ing equipment and process plants.

In 1951 he became a consultant, and worked in many parts of the U . S., Mexico and South America. F r o m 1951 to 1954 his time was divided between a CSM Fellow­ship and his consulting, but in 1954 he joined the faculty as an instnictor, being promoted to assistant professor in 1960. In 1962 he was also appomted administrative assistant to the head of the Department of Metallurgical Engmeering, and was largely responsible for the planning and design of H i l l Hal l . His teaching duties mcluded Mineral Dressing, Ore Microscopy, Metallurgical Plant Design, and Foundry Metailurgy.

Hildy had a heavy teaching load, but was always available to the students for counselling or just plain conversation, He was always ready for a cup of coffee with other faculty members and was prepared to give a story opmion on any topic. He devoted a great deal of his spare time to the Boy Scout movement, and last year he was voted the skier "least likely to f a l l " by an ill-defined group.

The "men he has left behind" would like to express then- appreciation to Hildy for his long service and un­stinting devotion to the well-being of the Department of MetaUurgical Engineering and its students.

N E W G U I N E A — I S L A N D OF H I D D E N W E A L T H

By Prof, T. Balberyszski

- ^ are

Professor Balberyszski, who visi+ed fhe Territory of Papua New Guinea during fhe sum­

mer of 1969, was particularly impressed by fhe impact of fhe Bougainville project on the

economy and the changing way of life on the island.

WI A T until recent years was one of the least known and most inaccessible parts of the world may soon

become a major source of mineral wealth and a focus of mining and metallurgical endeavor. The Territory of Papua New Guinea, comprising the eastern half of the third largest island in the world, is stil l a sleepmg giant stretching f rom the lands of As ia on the west, to the Pa­cific Islands on the east Its magnificent snow-covered mountain ranges, impenetrable jungles, and inumerable islands provide a home for some two mill ion people whose origins date back to the end of the last ice age.

The early European explorers discovered the island in 1512, but it was not until 1828 that the Dutch showed in­terest in New Guinea and occupied the western half of the island. Some 60 years later the Bri t ish and German gov-ernmetns followed suit and annexed the eastern parts, forming German New Guinea and Bri t ish Papua. During World War I, the Australians occupied the German held territory and later on took over, under a Mandate of the

League of Nations, the administration of what is today known as the Territory of Papua New Guinea.

Discovery of gold and of many fertile lands along the coastal plains gave the Australians an incentive to develop the island. Capital and people were brought m and an administrative framework was established to cope with the problems of a primitive society, riddled with tribal ani­mosity, cross-cultured tensions and a multitude of customs and languages. World War II termmated this process, and the island became a major theater of war in the Pac i f ic . Much of what was built prior to the war was destroyed. But perhaps the greatest damage done was the destruc­tion of the results of years of teaching by dedicated mis­sionaries and educators who, for many decades, attempted to convert the native population to the white man's way of hfe. The savage battles waged by the belligerents m Papua-New Guinea did little to Inspire the native's confi­dence in the white man's ways.

And yet the white man has not failed altogether. The efforts of the Australian administration after the end of

14 F E B R U A R Y , 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z i N E

World War II resulted in the establishment of an educa­tional network of primary, secondary and vocational schools. A Teachers' Training College, a Medical College, and an Administrative College are turning out hundreds of indigenous graduates who are immediately absorbed into the various facets of local l i fe . Recognizing the im­portance of professional training at the highest level, a University of Papua New Gumea opened its doors in 1967 in a magnificent setting of gently rolling hUls and tropical gardens. But perhaps the most significant accomplishment of the Administration was in its recognition that the future of the island and the progress towards complete independ­ence wil l depend to a large measure on the development of the island's natural resources. The Bougainville Copper Project is the result of the Administration's efforts to determine and develop the natural wealth hidden in the depth of the jungles and below the massive mountain tops.

Situated in the Panguna Valley of the Bougamville island, the copper deposit (estimated at some 800 million tons of 0.47% copper and 0.4 dwt gold) wiU be developed in what w i l l most likely be the largest open pit mine in the world. Although mineralization was observed in that area as far back as 1934, it was not until 1960 that geolo­gists sent by the Australian goverment took a serious look at it.

In 1963, the Conzinc Rio Tmto of AustraUa Ltd . and New Broken H i l l Consolidated Ltd . , two of the largest mming companies, sent exploration teams to Bougainville and by 1966 diamond drill ing estabUshed proven reserves of 66 million tons of 0.68% ore. At this point" a mining agreement was reached with the Territorial Administra­tion and prehminary feasibUity studies were undertaken. By 1969 the proven reserves were found to be 10 times the original estimates, and feasibUity studies made it possible to predict a plant producing 150,000 tons of copper, as cop­per concentrates, and 500,000 ounces of gold per year.

The income to the Territory f rom such an operation would exceed $50 million a year, and the amount of exports would more than double. The project wiU also mean the training and employment of thousands of people, building of new townships, schools and hospitals. New port facilities wiU be provided, and a network of roads established.

And yet in spite of these obvious advantages, much resentment is shown by the indigenous population. It stems f rom the disruption of their ancient way of life—a life of simpUcity and tranquiUty not accustomed to the hustle and bustle of modern technology. It stems f rom the intro­duction of buUdozers, drills, steel and mortar into the lush, deep green mountamsides. It stems f r o m the racial ten­sions introduced by the white technicians, obUvious to the people but conscious of the tremendous technical difficul­

ties which they wi l l have to overcome to bring the project to completion. Whether this ever happens wi l l depend on the foresight and wisdom of the Administration and the C R A management. So far C R A has proceeded cautiously and wisely. Some of the white professionals, however, are rather impatient. They cannot understand why the Bou-gainvUleans should expect to remain forever in their ti-op-ica l paradise, separated f rom the hustlmg, acquisitive world outside. To which the BougainviUeans, of course, answer: "Why not?"

Outlook for 1970 By Frederick A. Fielder

should remain at a high level but wil l not have the pace experienced in 1969. However, even though the level should

be at or near last year's mark, I see a continuing squeeze on earnings. Net income wiU be adversely affected by steady increases in operating costs, a contmuing tax load and the persistent erosion of real income due to infla­tionary pressures,

Some of the added operating costs tending to narrow the earnings poten­t ia l are already with us. Railroad freight costs were increased six per cent Nov. 18, 1969. Some estimates peg the cost to the economy to be as high as $600 million per year. Added to this should be the increased freight charges by the trucking industry, ranging in various amounts up to six per cent.

Another important cost is interest. Industry is stiU plagued with trying to add muscle to its productive capac­ity through much needed moderniza­tion and the introduction of new tech­nology while faced on the other hand with the high cost of the money that would be aeeded to do the job.

A n unknown -factor in tbe year ahead is the eventual effect on indus­try planning of Congress's attempts to tighten up our tax structure.

Despite the adverse factors touched upon, industry's expenditures for plant and equipment should again increase in 1970, but not as rapidly as in pre­vious years. The industry consensus as to the total seems to be between 76 and 77 billion dollars. This comes on tlie heels of the 71 billion estimated

for 1969 and the 64 bill ion expended in 1968.

The other side of the coin on in­creased raih-oad freight costs is that railroad earnings should improve somewhat and may be reflected in a reasonably active year ahead for the freight car builders.

Authoritative railroad sources state that serviceable cars as of Sept. 1, 1969, numbered 1,362,000 with the fig­ure at 1,388,000 for the same date in 1968. Up to Oct 1, 1969, about 50,000 new freight cars had been delivered, compared with about 43,000 in the like period for 1968.

Housing starts during the coming year are not expected to be too spec­tacular, according to government fig­ures. Projections indicate that the f ig-m'e win hover around the 1,500,000 mark. This approximates that of 1968 and 1969, but is still substantially ahead of the 1,300,000 posted in 1967.

The seeming weakness in housing starts should be qualified by the al­most phenomenal growth in mobile homes. This growth, I feel, has si­phoned off a good percentage of the monies that could have otherwise been put into conventional homes.

The steel industry expects to con­tribute its share to the economic pic­ture. Statistics f rom the American Iron and Steel Institute show that cap­ital spending by the steel industry has been running over $2 billion for the past two years and should be about the same amount in 1970. I expect much of this spending wi l l continue to be concentrated on modei'n equip­ment that wi l l be faster and more pro­ductive. Phasing out of obsolete fa­cilities and methods wiU be quickened as further refinements are made in basic oxygen furnaces ( E O F ) , con­tinuous casting, electric furnace and related production and finishing lines.

To summarize, the coming year should be a fa i r ly good business year for industry in general with no dra­matic changes upward or downward.

He became president of Poor & Co. foiowiiig a long career with thc Baldwin-Lima-Hamilton Corp.. mailers of locomotives, water wheel turbines, steel mil! equipment itnd machine tools.

PROFILE OF A MINES GRADUATE

J a c k P. B o n a r d i

JA C K P . B O N A R D I , E . M . 1921, was awarded an honorary degree of

Doctor of Science by the University of New Hampshire at its Alumni Luncheon on June 14, 1969. The invita­tion to accept the honorary degree f rom U N H referred to "recognition of your outstanding contribution to the mining industry as chemist, mining engineer, atomic pioneer, and indus­tr ia l consultant. A n expert on rare earth and metals . . . international authority in mining and ore-reducing techniques. . . . "

Jack Bonardi was born in Lebanon, N . H . , on Feb. 3, 1893 and attended the public schools of that community. In 1911, he enrolled in chemical en­gineering at the New Hampshire Col­lege of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts, graduating with a B.S . degree in 1915.

To help defray his college expenses, he worked as an assistant chemist with the New Hampshire Agricultural Experiment Station and also worked for Professor Charles James, assisting him in rare earth investigations. His senior thesis, the "Separation of Y t ­trium f rom E r b i u m " was published in the Journal of the American Chemi­cal Society in 1915. In October, 1915, he accepted employment as assistant chemist with the West Vi rgmia E x ­periment Station and the West V i r ­ginia Geoiogical Survey.

In May, 1916, he joined the U . S. Bureau of Mines Station i n Colorado, and remained with the Bureau in sev­eral locations until August, 1921. His f i rs t assignment was as a junior chem­ist in radioactivity at Denver. A t that time, the Bureau was cooperating with the National Radium Institute in ex­tracting radium, vanadium, and ura­nium f rom carnotite ores.

Bonardi

His first duties involved the analy­ses of the products of the radium plant for chemical control. Later, he was in charge of a l l the radium crys-talizing operations and subsequently supervised the closing of the plant in the F a l l of 1917. During his associ­ation with this plant, 100 per cent radium bromide salt (later converted to the sulfate form) was prepared for the f i rs t time in this country, and 100 mg. of the salt was delivered to the U . S. Btu-eau of Standards for use as a government standard.

During his association with the Bu­reau, he was sent on special assign­ments including: Cornell Umversity to work with Dr . H . W. Gillett on re­search involving the use of molybde­num and cerium in steel; University of Washington (Seattle) to do research with Dr. Wil l iam Coghill on flotation of molybdenum and the separation of this metal f rom copper; and to the University of Nevada (Reno) to super­

vise the installation of the equipment that was removed f rom the Golden, Colorado, Station.

When Bonardi was assigned to the Goldsn, Colorado, Station, he was ac­tively engaged in a number of metal­lurgical problems, particularly those involving uranium, tungsten, vana­dium and molybdenum. He also v/orked in research in flotation and cyanidation. Although Jack was a busy individual, he found time to complete the requirements at the Colorado School of Mines for the Mining Engi­neering degree and was awarded his E . M . in 1921 and also qualified for a Me t .E . degree.

It was while M r , Bonardi was min­eral technologist and assistant to the superintendent of the Rare and Pre­cious Metal Station at Reno that he received a lucrative offer to enter a business career. Although the change appeared more in the nature of an avocation than a vocation by the standard of his previous successful career, he accepted the position be­cause of the confidence he had al­ways nursed that he would succeed in business. As he teUs it, "Af te r al l , much depends upon the ski l l and in­genuity of the operator."

M r . Bonardi has now been in New York City for over 45 years and dur­ing this time has represented many well-known concerns.

He is credited with having f irs t in­troduced in the east the use of zinc hydrosulphite in the paper industry and because of his knowledge of ore-dressing handled for Great Western Electro Chemical Co., and later for Dow Chemical in the sale and servic­ing of zanthate for the east and ex­port trade. His association with A . R. Wilfley and Sons Inc. of Denver has extended over 45 years. Most recently he has been hired as a consultant by Wilfley.

M r . Bonardi is the author of a num­ber of technical papers published in Chemical and Metallurgical Engineer­ing, Engineering & Mining Journal, and the U . S. Bureau of Mines publi­cations relating to problems in the mining and metallurgical industries.

In 1922 Jack Bonardi married Mat-tie Jane Brown of Denver, and they have two children who have blessed them with six grandchildren. Their son, Bruce, is a 1949 engineering grad­uate of Yale University and is asso­ciated with his father in his business. Their daughter, Betty, is a U N H grad­uate, class of 1948, and is married to Dr. Harold V . Jordon, also a U N H graduate, class of 1949.

DR. W A L T E R W . W H I T M A N , the au­thor of ihis article, received his Ph.D. (Mathematics) from Cornel l University following the completion of a five-year undergraduate course at the same institu­tion, where he earned a Bachelor of Engi­neering Physics degree. Dr. Whitman's biography appeared in the January, 1970 issue of The MINES Magai ine .

ROBERT E. D. W O O L S E Y , associate professor of Mathematics, principal scien­tist and associate director of Computing Center, has three degrees from the Uni­versity of Texas: Ph.D. (Operations Re­search) 1969 (requirements completed), M.S . (Mathematics) 1965, and B.S. (Mathematics) 1959.

WITH the inception of a degree grantmg program at the undergraduate level i n 1964, it became impera­

tive that the Math Department strengthen its upper divi­sion undergraduate course offerings. To this end, a con­certed recruiting effort was made to buttress the Mathe­matics faculty with a resulting increase in Ph.D.s f rom roughly six per cent in 1964 to presently 60 per cent, Wi th this marked increase, the institution of the graduate program became a feasible undertaking. The progression in program development has been quite I'apid; f rom a Master of Science (Interdisciplinary) to a straight M.S. , then.to an Interdisciplinary Ph.D. and finally, to a Ph.D. in Mathematics, which was ratified on Dec. 19, 1969, by the Colorado Commission on Higher Education. The total effective time span of this sequence has been about two years, with degrees having already been granted under the M.S. Interdisciplinary and Ph .D. Interdisciplinary syn­ergisms,

While institutmg and implementing the undergraduate program, a crucial by-product was the discovery of the needs of Mines in general and the Math Department stu­dents in particular. The discovery of course types which were of particular interest has proved an invaluable aid in the definition of the Department's future orientation within the community of Mines. Formalizing the direction of this demand has lead to the specializations which are the prime directives of the Graduate Program in Mathe­matics at CSM—-namely. Operations Research and Lmear System Analysis. The demand for Operations Research has grown particularly swiftly. The spreading importance and rapidly increasing recognition can be seen by the prohferation of courses in Operations Research specifically tailored to particular disciplines and offered within the existent mineral resources departments—notably Chem­ica l and Petroleum Refining, Peti'oleum Engineering, and Mining, On the other hand, the growing awareness of and need for Linear System Analysis is easily demonstrable by investigation of the thrusts of G P , C P R , P E , and Met.

20 F E B R U A R Y . 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z I N E

Course initiation within the Math Department has be­come particularly rapid and obvious in the last year, as witnessed by the inclusion of 18 additional graduate courses in the new catalogue (a very high percentage of these either have previously been taught as Special Topics or are presently being offered). The prmcipal reason for explicitly including such a large number of courses is to indicate departmental capability and interest—as an aid to prospective graduate students.

The extent of the enthusiasm, demand, and interest can be measured directly in terms of the registered stu­dents: in this last year the em'oUment has increased f rom zero to seven full-time graduate students, f rom four to 24 part-time students, with an anticipated increase to 25 full-time students and 45 part-time students next year (this last being virtually guaranteed by outside sources). We project that the next two years w i l l see a growth to roughly 40 full-time and 50 part-time graduate students.

rW^O direct this program, we have developed some guid-X ing principles reading as follows (as they wi l l appear

in the catalogue):

"To become a candidate for an advanced degree, the studdent must have essentially completed the equivalent of the work required for the undergraduate degree in Math­ematics at the Colorado School of Mines. He wi l l be ex­pected to be prepared for advanced work in one of the two fields in which the department specializes, Operations Research and Linear Analysis. . . .

"The program of study for an advanced degree in Mathematics wi l l include basic courses in three general areas and specialization in one of two areas. Operations Research or Linear Analysis. A l l courses wi l l be chosen with the advice of the student's thesis committee and in general wi l l include at least four courses f rom the follow-mg list, at least one course m each category. . . .

" A program leading to the Ph .D. degree m Mathe­matics w i l l include the same area requirements as the Master's degree, and in addition the student w i l l be re­quired to take 12 hours in a single area of study outside the Mathematics Department. Some of these additional mathematics courses may be selected f rom the three categories of required basic courses, but, i n general, greater depth must be achieved in ona of the two areas of specialization. Linear Analysis of Operations Research. The thesis topic wi l l be relevant to some aspect of mineral resources. . , . "

Necessarily our needs for faculty specializing in the areas of Linear Analysis and Operations Research were acutely heightened with the inception of these programs. Already the pressure was being felt, but it became over­whelming when we discovered, for example, that our in-ti'oductory Operations Research course (which had an en­rollment of zero three years ago, 10 two years ago, and 33 last year) was anticipated at 45 this year and, in fact, turned out to be approximately 70. Our need in Opera­tions Research was desperate! Fortunately, we were able to recruit Dr . R. E . D. Woolsey, an outstanding authority in integer programming m particular, and in Operations Research in general. As an aside, we might mention that he has been so well i-eceived that we believe we could sell tickets to his classes. The recruitment, however, is by no means completed. We expect that two more Opera­tions Researchers and another man in Linear Analysis wi l l be hu-ed this year to f i l l anticipated vacancies.

AS a further aside but pertinent to recruiting, it is in­teresting to note some of Dr . Woolsey's ini t ial reac­

tions to the potentiahties of Mines and its implicit attrac­tions (as quoted f rom an interview with The Oredigger) which follows;

"Oredigger: With your experience and your qualifica­tions you could be teaching in almost any college in this country. Yet you chose Mines. Why?

"Woolsey: Twelve months ago a friend of mine applied for a job here and was very excited about it. I had barely heard of the place then. When I came to interview four

F E B R U A R Y . 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z I N E

things impressed me: a) the people in the Math Depart­ment were extremely interested in developing Operations Research i n the Mining industi-y; b) the students I talked to seemed an order of magnitude more motivated and sharper than those I found at other schools I mterviewed; c) the extreme loyalty of the Alumni impressed me; they must be grateful for the education and impetus they received here; d) students here are exti-emely dedicated towards becoming professionals in their fields.

"Oredigger: Does your field of Operations Research have much scope in the Mining industry?

"Woolsey: Yes. There are massive problems asso­ciated with extracting ores f rom the ground and proces­sing and marketing them. Operations Research tiies to f ind ways to do this more efficiently so as to yield greater profit, to be safer, and to do so in such a way as not to despoil the landscape. The scope is there, but really it is not being used as yet. . . .

"Oredigger: In your short time here no doubt you have noticed the 'confrontation' of 'liberals' and 'conserv­atives' on campus. How do you view this?

"Woolsey: Well, f irstly, I believe a conservative is someone who is happy with the present ills of society. A liberal wants to replace them with another set of His. I think the 'confrontation' is a healthy sign. I do not agree with Yench's editorials, but I never thought someone who made people think was necessarily bad. . . .

"Oredigger: It has often been asserted that engineer­ing students as a group show little social awareness or social responsibility.

"Woolsey: I thinlt that the rigor of engineering studies does, due to demands on time and concentration, postpone a development of social awareness for a time. However, in the same period, the acquistion of such a socially responsible profession as engineering builds a fh-m base of logic and training for the development of later social awareness. After al l , an engineer is by definition a builder, and it is noteworthy that engineers and scientists rarely appear among the ranks of those who would destroy the present social structure. . . . "

SO M E of our future plans include the offering of short courses both in the summer and at mid-term break

(the f i rs t of these wi l l be offered in January 1970). These offer multiple benefits—to name a few: advertising for Mines in its capacity of service to Colorado, and inci­dentally, publicity for the programs in the Math Depart­ment; proselyting for part-time students during the aca­demic sessions and, occasionally for full-time students; increased organization and efficiency for the regular academic classes; closer liaison with and more general exposure to current concerns of industry.

Another goal which may be aided by this short course exposure is increased research funding,, both industrial and governmental. In this vein Dr . Woolsey is negotiating a substantial open-ended contract with the Board of Water Resources for Colorado. Perhaps this last success wi l l serve as a motivating force for more contract proposals, since a large percentage of graduate students require f inancial assistance and Mines itself is not capable of supplying any great quantity (quality and frequently quan­tity of students is directly tied to the available funding in the form of scholarships, research grants,, and .'teaching assistantships). . "

Perhaps tbe strongest reason for the deve.iop;ment of om- program and for its enthusiastic siipport.by. old-line departments at C S M , has been our excellent woi-kiiig re­lationships with these same departments. We are :piarticu-larly proud of this last, because it is om- understanding that Mathematics Departments in general tend to be quite independent and autonomous. We are especially gratified that this has been recognized by others—for ex.ample, in the report of the Visiting Committee (see 'pages .10-11, Mines Magazine, January 1970) and in reports f rom Dr. Schlechten's visits to other schools, where the cooperation is not so evident. We trust that this recognition wi l l extend even further, and certainly om- efforts to this end wi l l not diminish.

QU I T E often a salesman is asked to leave a sample with a pur­

chasing agent. The agent may want to examine it at leisure or show it to someone else in his organization, per­haps an engineer.

B y all means honor his request but don't walk away with the comfortable belief that the sample wi l l make the sale for you. It won't. You must back it up with a solid presentation. The buyer needs more than just the sam­ple to help h im make up his mind.

Samples Plus. — Grady Ha l l , who sells precision electronic material, was once asked by the buyer for a machine tool outfit to leave a num­ber of samples for a couple of weeks. Grady was happy to comply but he did not let it go at that.

He buttressed the samples with an elaborate presentation which ineluded a complete background memorandum on the products. He handed the whole thing to the buyer in one neat pack­age.

"Why go through all that trouble?" another salesman asked.

"Because samples can't talk," Grady replied. "They won't furnish the ex­planation necessary for getting the buyer to give me an order."

A soft goods salesman, Jerry Wales, was asked to leave samples with the buyer for a department store. The buyer was astounded to receive with the samples a 12-page report on the line. In addition, Jerry went into some detail on what other stores were doing in displaying the Une and their mark­ups, markdowns and annual turnover. In s h o r t , he anticipated virtually everything the buyer might want to know. He did not depend on the sam­ples alone to argue his case.

Sample Care—No sample should be left with a buyer unless it is complete and perfect in every detail. A mis­placed tag or label, a dirty or soiled part could spell disaster for you. Be­fore you deposit the product with the purchaser, go over it with loving care. Make sure its appearance has maxi­mum appeal.

Not long ago a yoxmg man called at our house, selUng encyclopedias. He was neatly dressed and well edu­cated. But what impressed me most was the way he handled his sample.

He had a volume of the encyclope­dia in a zippered, velvet bag inside his briefcase. The salesman withdrew the book with near tenderness. The volume was immaculate.

The young man leafed through the pages as if each were of precious ma­terial. There was in his presentation a great deal of showmanship, drama, if you like. But it was highly effective. I am now the owner of a new set of the encyclopedia.

A sloppy sample can not only spoil the sale but it can ruin your relation­ship with the prospect for years to come.

The Service "Sample"—The proper use of samples applies as well to the service salesman. A n insurance sales­man, for example, should see that his presentations are clear and easy to read. In preparing a proposed policy, he should make sure that the pros­pectus answers aU probable questions. A n insurance prospect wants to know

*Mr. Kahn heads up the George N. Kahn Co., Inc., Sales Training Division, Empire State Bldg., 3S0 Fifth Ave., New York. N.Y. 10001.

what he's going to get, how much it wiU cost h im and for how long.

The same is true of mutual fund selling. The investment plan should be fuUy laid out so that a child could understand it. This can be done with­out "talking down" to the prospect. H e ' l l appreciate it if you avoid tech­nical language.

Talk About Your Sample. — Some salesmen have a tendency to let their samples do their " ta lk ing" for them even when they are present. This fel­low wiU place the sample on a desk or table and then step back to admire it. He feels that by remaining silent the prospect can arrive at a decision much faster. This is wrong thinking.

The prospect needs some guidance. And he has a right to expect the in­formation to be volunteered by the salesman. Why should he have to pry each detail out of you? If such is the case you could hardly blame him for thinking that you aren't very inter­ested in what you are selling.

Henry Larson, a hospital equipment salesman, beUeves in talking his way through each demonstration.

" E a r l y in my career," he recalled, " I was showing a hospital bed my f i r m had just brought out. It was the best of its kind on the market then and we were proud of it. In fact, I was so proud that I forgot to tell the hos­pital administrators and doctors any­thing about it, I mumbled a few words of explanation but that was al l . I guess I expected the equipment to sell itself.

" I lost the sale but it taught me a lesson. With the next prospect I be­came a very voluble fellow. I took nothing for granted. I explained the mechanism piece by piece. The result was the biggest order I had ever re­ceived."

Carry Your Samples. — B y urging you to support your samples with presentation I don't mean to minimize the importance of the samples them­selves. They play an important role in seUmg that should not be over­looked.

Some salesmen avoid carrying sam­ples, especially when they are large or bulky. This is an error. The sample can often mean the difference between success and failure with a prospect. Y o u might get a buyer aU warmed up with your sales talk and then have

22 F E B R U A R Y , 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z I N E

to run out to get the sample. The pros­pect may be considerably cooled off by the time you return. When you have the sample on hand you can keep his interest at the right pitch for an order. Even going out to your car for the product may break the rhythm of your presentation. In some cases the break may be a fatal one. I once spent too long fumbling in my brief­case and lost the sale. The prospect remembered another engagement and the interview was at an end.

I profited f rom this incident, how­ever. Before making a caU I arranged the material i n my bag so I could grab needed material in less than a half a minue. One of the secrets in this, I found, is to throw away old and useless paper that collects in a lot of cases.

If your samples are big and heavy get a station wagon or roomy car. It's better to have the sample and only make one caU instead of two or three.

The sample can't talk but it can "act out" your words. Let it do a job for you.

Know Your Sample.—You can't do an effective job of showing yoiu- sam­ple unless you are thoroughly famil iar with it.

Don't learn in the prospect's office. Bone up at headquarters or in your home. If you need technical assist­ance, get it f rom one of your engi­neers or production people. A sample wi l l take on much more glamorous appearance if you "bring it to l i f e . " If your talk is convincing and knowl­edgeable, the prospect wiU see in the sample the advantages that you do.

If you are knowing and articulate you w i l l add to your own confidence as you go along. But if you fumble or are hesitant and uncertain, the pros­pect w i l l f ind it hard to work up any enthusiasm for your mechandise or service.

A buyer onee told me of a salesman who compietely destroyed the good effect of his sales talk by the way he handled his product.

"He picked it up as if he had never seen it before," the buyer, a contrac­tor, said. " I wondered to myself if this could be the same man who had made such a smooth presentation."

It was but the salesman lost the order because my fr iend had lost con­fidence in him.

Pick Your Settuig.—Where do you show your samples? This can be an extremely important factor in getting an order.

Some buyers wiU be annoyed if you toss a sample on their desk. Others wi l l be sore if you put it anywhere else.

In any event, don't choose a spot that is a poor setting for your product. Make sure that the surroundings en­hance your sample. Be fussy about lighting, backdrop, etc. Fine diamonds are not displayed in a cigar box by a jeweler. They are appropriately ex­hibited on r ich velvet.

H a l Wheeler, building supplies sales­man, lugs his samples in the most ex­pensive cases he can buy. Further­more, he wUl not keep any sample any longer than 90 days for fear it win become shopworn.

Put It in His Hands.—Suggest to the buyer that he handle the sample. There is something almost magic about touching a product.

Getting the " fee l" of it wiU arouse his desire and help you close the sale. Handle it f i rs t yourself and then in­vite h im to do the same.

It's a sound idea to keep talking whiie he's holding the product. This wUl make him conscious of the sam­ple's style and quality.

Suggest Leaving Sample. — Some­times it's a wise policy to leave a sample with the buyer whether or not he asks for it. You may have been pressed for time during the interview and were unable to get your f u l l mes­sage across. The buyer may have been distracted and did not absorb all your points. There may not have been a convenient location for show­ing your line.

If you encounter these situations suggest to the prospect that he keep a sample for a few days and look it over at his leisure. You can spare it and it coidd mean a big order.

One salesman, Ron Cassel, left an expensive calculator with a prospect. It was the only one he had with him so he was forced to ask his office for another.

"Do you think it was right to leave your only machine with a cold turkey prospect?" his supervisor asked.

" I felt I had h im partiaUy sold and the machme wiU do the rest if he uses it for a few days," Ron answered. The boss went along with the idea and Ron went about his business.

A week later the prospect caUed Ron and asked to come over.

" I ' U take three of your calculators," the man said, without further ado. He explained that he didn't know much about such machines but he had let his bookkeeper and two other key of­fice personnel try that one. They all gave it an A-1 ratmg and that was good enough for the prospect,

"If he hadn't had it around he prob­ably would not have thought of letting his employees work with i t , " Ron told me later.

However, if the buyer doesn't want to keep the sample, don't make an is­sue of it. It's better to lose the sale than irritate h im to the point where he wiE never buy f rom you.

Outside Showing.—You may have to show your samples in a hotel suite or temporary showroom. In this in­stance you are the host and should perform accordingly. Make sure the buyer is comfortable when he views your products. Take care to see that the lighting is adequate and, if possi­ble, flattering to your Une. Provide a handsome setting for your samples so that they stand out, AU this can

be done with a little work and imagi­nation. Don't let your competitor out­shine you in this department.

If the buyer is on the fence, why not suggest that he take a sample back with him. If the product is large, some arrangement can be worked out to ship it to h im. I wouldn't do this for anyone off the street but if the prospect is reputable you are safe in letting h im have the sample for a few days. Samples are easy to re­place but customers are hard to get. Even the possibUity of losing an oc­casional sample should not deter you f rom letting them out f rom time to time.

f T H H E annual meeting was held on the evening of Jan. X 23, 1970, at the Lakewood Country Club. More than 180

Miners and their ladies attended. The buffet table with­stood the onslaught of the hungry, even as happiness and cheer reigned. After dinner the meeting was called to order by President Robert Johnson, who introduced the guests at the head table. These were: Mrs . Johnson; H a l and Mrs . Addington, our new president; Harrison and Mrs . Hays, our elected vice-president; Nea l and Mrs . Harr , our new secretary; Dave Squibb, director; and Bob Magnie, who was re-elected as treasurer.

The officers for 1970 were introduced; President Ha l Addington, Secretary Neal Harr , Treasurer Bob Magnie, and Directors David Squibb, J . D . Vincent, and Don Craig. A brief report of the financial condition of the Alumni was presented by M r . Johnson, who noted that the report on the condition of the Association wi l l be published in the Febuary issue of The M I N E S Magazine.

"General Operations—Income increased to $79,891.27 in 1969, as expenses also increased to $78,811.56. This repre­sents a net gain of $1,079.71 for the year as the first sub­stantial profit in the past several years. A l l accounts pay­able for 1969 have been paid, and it has been a successful year. Both Magazine advertising and subscriptions have shown a gain during the year. In spite of this, advertising solicitatitm increased sharply as did the printing cost. Dean Wm. V . Burger, our advertising manager, has done an outstanding Job. Directory expenses, both printing and editorial, increased by less than $200. Of course a major portion of this increase was an additional $1,600 for prmt-ing The M I N E S Magazine. This increase is again due to annual increases of wages paid the printers plus increases in paper and supply cost. These figures include some minor salary adjustments plus a bonus for Dean Burger based upon the percentage of increase in advertising reve­nues. A Christmas bonus was given on a pro-rata basis to al l employees. Our salary scale has been so low compared to the salary for similar positions on the campus that some adjustment was necessary in addition to the Christmas bonus whieh was essential if we expect to retain our pres­ent competent personnel.

"The Financial Report wi l l be printed in detail i n The M I N E S Magazine. This w i l l include not only the material presented previously but wi l l cover the status of the Alumni Loan Fund. (Only one delinquent loan of $65 is outstanduig at this time.) Four scholarships in the amount of $300 each were presented this year by the Loan Fund to four freshmen chosen by the Scholarship Committee of Mines.

"The Trust Fund wUl show a decrease in asset value as of Dec. 31, 1969; this exact amount could not be deter­mined in time for this meeting. Income f rom investments increased in 1969 f rom $3,848.42 in 1968 to $6,516,44, or $2,568.02. This was accomplished by shifting securities f rom Common stocks into Preferred stocks or Convertible debentures.

"President of the Student Body at Mines, M r . Steve Pavel , and Pi-esident Charles Crew of the Senior Class

are present with their wives and we are happy to have them here. In response to our suggestion 23 new Life Members joined the Alumni during 1969.

"One of the most important committees in our organi­zation is the High School-College Relations Committee. This committee was established several years ago under the original chairmanship of Sam McClaren and Ron Les­tina to bring Mines to the attention of high school coun­selors in the Denver Metropolitan area. They were suc­ceeded by George Minnick, who served several terms. During those years the Alumni effort was at least partially responsible for the considerable increase in the enrollment at Mines. Marshal l Crouch became chairman of the com­mittee in 1967, but was called to active duty this year and was succeeded by Allen McGlone. Allen became re­sponsible for the f ina l organization of Alumni participation in the Parent-Student meeting held this year. If properly pursued it is believed that the Alumni can increase the enrollment at Mines by a substantial margin. Another new and important committee has been added to the list of committees. This Legislative-Liaison committee is headed by Jay Mayhew, who is responsible for state-wide contact of Alumni .

"Local Section Activity was not eonfmed entirely to those mentioned below, but thehr contribution has been recent The Denver Local Chapter has supported the local recruiting effort by personal visits to various high schools and by participation in meetings sponsored by Mines in this effort. Ea r ly in 1968 the Tulsa Chapter decided to sponsor the attendance of a group of Tulsa High School seniors at the annual Engineers' Day in 1969. The Tulsa group has raised a l l funds to finance this trip for these seniors. Norm Morrisey of Tulsa, who has been the spark­plug m this effort, reported, " a l l we need now is the bodies.' The same program is underway for 1970.

"Course for Secondary School Teachers—Another sum­mer f ie ld workshop in petroleum was completed in the summer of 1969. Mining was also added this year. This course is intended to familiarize the mterested high school science and math teachers and coimselors with the facts of natural resource utilization. This program is funded and taught by personnel f rom the Colorado Petroleum Council and sponsored by them with the Colorado School of Mines and the Colorado Mining Association. The pro­gram is held at the campus of the Colorado School of Mines. The courses were a success and those completing them received six hours of credit toward an advanced educational degree. They also viewed the mineral indus­tries more objectively and more in a favorable light. A n article describing the f ie ld trip was published in the De­cember 1969 issue of The M I N E S Magazine.

" P i Warren, E . M . 1913, was the catalyst that brought the program to f ina l fruition.

"It is hoped these courses wiU show high school teach­ers the value of natural resources and the proper utiliza­tion in maintaining om- civilization.

"Before introducing the officers who wiU take over the direction of the Alumni Foundation, I wish to thank the members as well as the officers, for their support, without

which we could not have done so well this year. It was a team effort and I wish to thank those who are responsible. Those elected were: President, Ha l Addington; vice Pres­ident, Harrison Hays; Secretary, Neal Har r ; Treasurer, Robert Magnie (re-elected); Director, C S M Alumni , David Squibb, three-year term; Du-ector, J . D . Vincent, two years; Director, Donald Craig, one year; Dkector , C S M Foundation, Inc., Robert Johnson, two years; Director, C S M Foundation, Inc., P h i l Garrison, 1 year.

" E a c h election means that some members are not suc­cessful. Their wiUingness to have their names placed on the ballot is evidence of their interest in the Alumni . Our thanks to each unsuccessful candidate.

"Nea l Har r completed a three-year term as Director today. J . D, Vincent and Don Craig are incumbent direc­tors for 1970, Jerry Garbella and P h i l Garrison have terms as Directors, C S M Foundation, Inc. This year al l of these men have served well and faithfully. It is a privilege to present these officers to you.

"I shall now turn the meeting over to HaU Addington, who win be President of the Colorado School of Mines Alumni Foundation for 1970."

President H a l Addington accepted the transfer of au­thority with the statement that i n his opinion. Bob Johnson had been an outstanding president. During M r . Johnson's term of office much had been accomplished, and this was recognized in the motion passed by the Board of Directors in the last regular meeting on Jan. 13, 1970.

President Addington then said, "As evidence of our high esteem and appreciation, it is my privilege to present you with a Mines chair. It is hoped that you wi l l be able to relax in comfort now that your successful term of of­fice has been completed. A name plate, suitably engraved, wi l l mark the reason for this gift. There being no further busmess, the meeting wi l l adjourn and festivities of the evening may begin."

Tunnelling Conference Scheduled July 21-24 Johannesburg, S. Africa

A South Af r i can Tunnelling Confer­ence, to be known as T U N C O N 70, is to be held July 21-24 at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

T U N C O N 70 is being supported by three professional engineering soci­eties representing some 6,000 engi­neers, namely, the South Af r ican In­stitute of Mining and Metallm-gy, the South A f i i c a n Institute of Civ i l Engi­neers and the South Af r i can Institu­tion of Mechanical Engineers, as well as by the Geological Society of South Af r i ca .

The conference has three man pur­poses. Firs t ly , to pool and exchange expertise by authorities on tunnelling; secondly, to discuss future develop­ments in tunnelling technology witb the aim of making those concerned with long-term planning aware of the potentialities of tunnelling; thirdly, to propose standards for tunnel shapes and sizes. Adoption of standards for tunnelling equipment and accessories would be a major step forward in im­proving tunnelling efficiency.

The five themes of the conference wi l l be tunnel utilization, exploration, design, construction and standards.

Further information is obtainable f rom the Organizmg Committee, T U N ­C O N 70, P . O. Box 1183, Johannesburg, South Af r i ca .

Uravan Mineral Belt of western Colo­rado and eastern Utah were sus­pended on Feb. 1,1970 by Climax Ura­nium Co., an operating unit of the A M A X Molybdenum and Specialty Metals Group of American Metal Cl i ­max, Inc.

The Chmax uranium m i l l at Grand Junction, Colo., wi l l also be shut down, foUowing a clean-up period, about March 15, 1970. The decision to close the mining properties was based on the continuing weak demand for uranium and the expected absence of strong markets over the next several years. Construction of nuclear power facilities has taken place at a much slower pace than expected.

Rock Drillability A Rock DriUabiUty Index by C. G. White, 1969, Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colo., 92 pp., paper, $4.00.

To be useful, a rock drillability index must include a measure of thc penetration rate of a given driU in a given rock and the rate of bit wear of the given driU. Through the years several indices have been proposed, but in each case they were limited to a rather narrow range of rock types and a single driUing system.

A imiversity appUcable driUability index should be able to classify any rock, f rom the very softest to the hardest and most abrasive. The in­dex developed by Dr . White uses three scales which overlap sUghtiy. The first is Rotary for soft rocks; Uie second, Rotary-Percussion for me­dium hard rocks, and the tbird. Con­ventional Percussion for the hard abrasive rocks. Any rock can be classified somewhere in this index, and be given two numbers, indicating the penetration and the bit wear.

Quarterly Discusses Energy and Security

Papers in Vo l . 64, No. 4 of the Colo­rado School of Mines Quarterly, en­titled "The Pohtical Economy of Energy and National Security," were presented at the Rocky Mountain Pe­troleum Economics Institute in June 1969. Sponsored annuaUy by the Rocky Mountain Oil and Gas Assn. with the cooperation of the Colorado School of Mines, the Institute has as its pri­mary objective the encom'agement of research and stimulation of debate on topics of current interest to observers of the domestic oU industry.

The papers presented represent either weU-balanced blendings. of po­li t ical and economic analyses of the role of energy in the national security of the United States, or specific eco­nomic analyses of the various means and associated costs of achieving the goal of national security. In total they represent one of the few attempts to study rigorously energy and its rela­tion to national security.

Ailuiger spent 20 years with the City of Denver as su­perintendent of the Mountain Parks Department and as an engineer with the Denver Water Board. It was dur­ing this period of his career that Mr . Ailinger superintended construction of the Red Rocks Parks, the r o a d s through them, the dam and scenic spiUway of Evergreen Lake, the Ever­green Club House and the 18-hole goif course there, the Pahaska Tepee, Buf­falo Bi l l ' s Memorial Museum, Echo Lake Lodge, and the highway up Mount Evans.

M r . AiUnger is survived by three chUdren; a son, Walter J r . of Ever­green, Colo.; two daughters, Mrs . Ethelda Croft of Kalamath FaUs, Ore., and Mrs , Wanda Secora of Denver; and by eight grandchildren. Mrs, Ailinger died in 1943,

Perh aps the following tribute to him entitled ' 'Why Walter Ailinger Went to Mines" explains his loyalty and devotion to his alma mater:

"Wel l , Walter, who is going to win the football game tomorrow, Mines or C. U . ? "

It was five-thirty o'clock one Fr iday afternoon in late October back in 1907 when the young janitor of one of the Denver schools had gone whistling to the last room to be cleaned that eve­ning. He had stopped abruptly at the door as he noted the teacher stUl at her desk. Miss Jackson happened to see him, however, and urged that he come on in and proceed with his work, saying that she would be leaving in a few minutes, WhUe closing her desk, she had asked h im regarding the game. Walter had to admit that he had not been paying any attention to the teams and could make no predic­tion. This evidently did not please the athletic-minded Miss Jackson, for as she left the room she made the remark, "If you were red-blooded at aU you would take an interest in such things and know pretty well who would win . "

That was a thrust alright for Waiter, which seemed to go deeper as he went on with his work. He had been on his own resources for three years. He supported himself by the job as jani­tor and odd jobs now and then. With his school work he was kept busy so that it was very easy for him to give no thoughts to sports. He was now in

his senior year in High School and hoped to continue his studies in some coUege the next year, but as to which one it would be he had not decided.

The teacher's chaUenge seemed to stir something within him and by the time he had finished cleaning the room he found himself keyed up about the game to be played the following day. He went to the blackboard and at the top wrote: "Colorado School of Mines" and beneath, "Colorado Uni­versity." Then he looked up his as­sistant whose duty it was to open the rooms of the building ui the mornings and asked h im to add the score of the game on the blackboard the first thing on Monday morning.

F rom then on he kept the game in mind and kept wishing to himself that Mines would be the winner. He could not go to the game but he got the news of it as soon as possible after it was finished, and much to his delight Mines did win with the very smaU margin, however, of 5 to 4.

This decided Walter as to his fa­vorite of the Conference teams and he followed the games closely the rest of the season. B y this time he was so imbued with "Mines Spir i t" that he was determined to go there to school the next year and also to get on the footbaU team if possible.

The foUowing September found h im duly installed at Golden and happily on his way to be an Engineer. It was no trick for h im to secure jobs to in-sm*e the necessary income for his four years at college. He could not spare the time for footbaU the first year and only enough the other years to admit h im on his ciass team. It was a keen disappointment that he could not make the regular team, but every game found him in the midst of the rooters, doing his part in cheer­ing them on to victory.

He very often thought of that after­noon several years before when Miss Jackson chided him for not being iih-terested in footbaU and he always ended his solUoquy with, " I am glad she said what she did for it certainly started me on the right road and brought me to Mines ."

Dr. Weimer Serving As Visiting Professor At Univ. of Calgary

DR. R O B E R T J . W E I M E R , profes­sor of Geology at the Colorado

School of Mmes, is on leave of ab­sence to serve as Visiting Professor at the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Dr . Weimer, an authority in the field of sedimentary rock formations, was invited by the Canadian school to teach graduate students in its ge­ology department and to give an 18-hour series of lectures to some 300 in­dustrial geologists. He wiU return to Mines in June.

Sedimentai-y deposits have become increasingly important in Western Canada, particularly in the Arct ic P la in area where there is considerable oil exploration.

Dr . Weimer joined the Mines faculty in 1957 after serving as an industrial and consulting geologist. He received B . A . and M . A . degrees f rom the Uni­versity of Wyoming and gained his Ph.D. at Stanford University. He was a Fulbright Lecturer at the Univer­sity of Adelaide, Adelaide, Australia, in 1967.

Dr . Weimer is an active member of many scientific and geological soci­eties and is the author or coauthor of over 35 publications. In 1966-67, he was Chairman of the Rocky Moimtain Section, Geological Society of Amer­ica, and last year served as President of the Rocky Mountain Association of of Geologists.

In December he was named by the National Academy of Sciences to serve on a speeial panel to evaluate appli­cants for National Research Council independent study programs at Fed-era laboratories.

Dr . Weimer, his wife, and four sons live on Lookout Mountain, Golden.

Spring Semester .Lvening Courses

Continuation of evening courses for employed individuals and part-time students are again being offered by the Colorado School of Mines in Gold­en. Registration for the 32 courses was Jan. 30 at CSM's field house.

Three different classifications of students are being admitted: (1) stu­dents without degrees may take un­dergraduate work only and must apply through the Admissions Office, (2) students with a degree must apply to the Coordinator of Continuing Educa­tion and may take both undergradu­ate and graduate courses, and (3) reg­ular full-time C S M undergraduate stu­dents may become part-time students tha'ough permission f rom the Dean of Students.

The following departments are offer­ing 2, 3, and 4 semester hour courses for the spring semester, Feb. 2 to May 28, 1970: Basic Engineering, 4courses; Chemical and Petroleum-Refining En­gineering, 4 com-ses; Continuing Edu­cation, 2 non-credit courses; Geology, 4 courses; Geophysics, 4 com-ses; Mathematics, 6 courses; Metallurgy, 2 com'ses; Petroleum Engineering, 3 courses, and Physics, 3 courses.

be presented during the current school year.

The most significant changes occur in the Basic Com'se presented to the freshmen and the sophomores. The in­tent is to provide more engineering subjects dm-ing these years thereby increasing the course value and inter­est to a l l students,

Specific subjects now offered to in­coming fi-eshmen include Map and Aer ia l Photograph Reading, Explo­sives, F ixed and Floating Bridges, PipeMne Construction, and Engineer Reconnaissance. Sophomore classes wi l l study Explosives, Landmine War­fare Operations, Chemical-Biological-Nuclear Operations and Protective Measm'es, Fortifications, Camouflage, Communications, and Engineer Recon­naissance,

Another major innovation in the pro­gram involves Leadership Laboratory. The new program wiH be developed and administered by the cadet staff. Total hours have been reduced to 10 hours and wiU feature an incentive system. Working with the ROTC fac­ulty, the two Battalion Commanders, Bruce Taylor and Dale Bingham, wi l l select their staffs and unit command­ers, design the oom-se content, and schedule the training. Under the in­centive system, a Company that re­quires less than 10 hours to complete the scheduled program would be ex­cused f rom subsequent attendance. The hom's thus gained may be used for other areas of study. More infor­mation wi l l be available as the pro­gram is developed and put into effect.

NSF Research Grant For Rare Earth Study

The Colorado School of Mines has received a $31,900 research grant f rom the National Science Foundation for a two-year study of "Rare Earths in Rock Suites and Rock-Forming Min­eral Systems."

The purpose of this research pro­gram is to perform a detailed study of rare-earth abundance patterns in a number of sedimentary and igneous rock suites and related minerals in order to obtain information on how the rare earths are distributed during the formation and alteration of the rock systems.

Upon completion of the rare-earth abundance patterns, this information wi l l be coupled with other elemental and isotopic abundance data there­fore gaining new insights into the na­ture of geochemical differentiation in igneous and sedimentary materials. These rare-earth elements are unique and essential trace element indicators for geologic processes.

Neutron activation analysis wi l l be performed using the faculties of the Mark III T R I G A reactor and the nu­clear laboratory at the U.S.G.S. center in Denver.

Dr . T, R. Wildeman of the C S M Department of Chemistry wi l l be the prmcipal investigator for the two-year project ending Dec. 15, 1971.

Oredigger Stats As of Jan. I..

The C S M Orediggers, with a season of 7-3 thus far and 1-1 in R M A C bas­ketball play, have compiled the fol­lowing team statistics. During the past 10 games Mines has averaged 87.2 points i n offense against 79.6 points in defense. A n average of 56.4 re­bounds per game have also been awarded to the Oredigger team.

Individual statistics are as follows: Jay Godley, guard, is top in individual scoring with an average of 18.9 points per game and also leads i n individual field goal percentages completing 77 out of 150 for 51.2 percent comple­tions. Joe Butkovieh, center, is second in individual scoring averaging 14.9 points per game followed with second place listing i n individual f ie ld goal percentages completing 69 out of 135 for a 51.1 percent average. In indi­vidual rebounding, Joe Butkovieh also leads, averaging 11.9 per game, fol­lowed by Doug Temple, forward, with an 11.3 average.

Steve Widener, forward, leads in in­dividual free throw percentages, com­pleting 14 of 16 in eight games for 87.4 per cent; i n second listings is Tom Applegate, guard, who has com­pleted 24 of 29 in ten games for an 82.7 per cent average.

Operations Research Symposium at Mines

The Colorado School of Mines and the Institute for Operations Research offered a three-day symposium, Jan. 19-21 on "Operations Research for Immediate Application."

The symposium was aimed at fo­cusing on the use of mathematics in problem description and practical problem solving. Implementation of problem solutions were via the Com­puter Center on the Mines campus in Golden.

This program was designed to ac­quaint recent management of engi­neers and technical personnel with varied techniques and applications of operations research,

The philosophy of the Institute is relatively unique in its insistence on problem solution or approximate opti­mization without regard to the ele­gance of the technique, resulting in frequent usage of widely scorned but eminently practical heuristics.

The Institute for Operations Re­search, a non-profit organization serv­ing as a vehicle for industrial consult­ing, software development, and short course presentation, was directed by Dr, W. W. Whitman with Dr . E . D . Woolsey as principal scientist. Both men are professors i n the Mathemat­ics Department at the Colorado School of Mines.

W e e k e n d S p o r t s R e v i e w

Southern Utah State College de­feated the Colorado School of Mines Fr iday night, Jan. 9, in R M A C Con­ference play at CSM's gym.

Skip Mead, top scorer for the game for Southern Utah, picked up the Thunderbirds' f irst four points and the lead. SUSC maintained the lead by a two-to-five-point margin until the f i rs t of six ties occurred when Roller and Babbitt each picked up two points at the free throw line. The score during the f irs t half was tied three ties at 6:45, 4:15, and 3:40 re­maining. A t the end of the first half SUSC led the Orediggers 44-41,

At the start of the second half Mines came back with the lead foUowing two shots by Chris Babbitt and one by Dave Roller, giving Mines a three-point lead, 47-44. The Orediggers maintained this lead untU 9:51 was remaining when the Thunderbirds tied the game up at 68-63, At 8:50 both teams tied up again at 72-72, fol­lowed by the last tie vi^th 7:50 re­maining at 74-74. SUSC puUed away f rom the last tie, taking a two-point lead. This two-point lead was main­tained untU Eddie Owen, SUSC's six-foot nine-inch center, gained his last eight-foot jump shot and Jay Godley for Mines came back with four points, 88-86. Owens and Mead each picked up two additional points f rom Mines fouls, while Godley gained two addi­tional layups, giving the Orediggers a total of 90 points, just one basket short f rom SUSC's 92 total.

Saturday night, Jan. 10, the fired-up C S M Orediggers dumped R M A C West­minster 101 to 81 for Mines' f i rs t R M A C conference victory. The Ore-diggers feU behind during the first two minutes of the game but foUow­ing two layups by Jay Godley and an 18-foot jump shot by Dave RoUer, Mines puUed away with a 9-5 lead. A t 14:03 remaining in the f irs t half the Orediggers had taken a 10-poiht lead, 21-11 over the Westminster Par­sons. Mines maintained its lead and at the haif was leading 48-36.

The largest lead of the game oc­curred with five and one-haif minutes remaining in the last half when Ore-diggers' Babbitt and Applegate picked up one layup each and spread Mines' margin to a 23-point, 86-63 lead. Joe Butkovieh gave Mines its 101 score with a layup with 1:10 remaining in the game.

For the season Mines is now 7-3 with a 1-1 record in R M A C piay.

The Colorado School of Mines swim­mers were downed by the U . S. A i r Force Academy Jan. 10, 76-35.

This defeat gives Mines a 1-2 over­all record while the A i r Force Acad­emy gained its fourth straight vic­tory for the season and its 32nd straight win.

Cadet Bruce Fisher took top honors at the dual meet by winning the 1,000-yard freestyle, 500-yard freestyle, and the 200-yard butterfly events.

The A i r Academy 32 straight win­ning streak is one of the nation's longest coUege winning streaks.

The A i r Force Academy's once-beaten team defeated Mines at Golden on Jan. 10. The Falcons won every match except the 134 weight, which ended in a 3-3 tie between CSM's Mike Roark and the Falcons' Scott Weaver.

Mines is 1-4 for the season in wrestling.

Tomorrow, CF&I may be known for a lot besides steel. We welcome ideas and the

teamwork it takes to get them off paper and into

46 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER F E B R U A R Y . 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z I N E

C F & I Steel Corporation Simrise Mine Box 457 Guernsey, Wyo. 82214 Jan. 5, 1970

Dear Wendell: The Science Fa i r in Wyoming for

Junior and Senior high school stu­dents is being held March 14th in Guernsey. In connection with this, I thought it would be a good opportunity to mention the merits of C S M by dis­tributing brochures or folders explain­ing the advantages and opporutnities to be had by going to coUege at Golden.

The sponsors of the fair expect about 50-60 entries so I would think that if possible, we should have enough literature for each one. Hopefully, we can do some good.

Thank you and best regards. Sincerely, R. W. MacCannon Met .E . '51, Superintendent

c/o Philex Mming Corp. P. 0 . Box 3394, Manila Philippines Oct. 21, 1969

Dear Wendell: The coverage in the Mines Mag­

azine, August 1969 E d i t i o n , of "Mine r s " breakfast meetings at the conventions, the a n n u a l election, memberships and hfe memberships brought home to me the fact I had been intending to send in a check to become a life member for a l o n g time. Anyway, it has always been a bargain, so here is the $130. My ad­dress, position and company affil ia­tion remain the same.

The new Philex 6,000 ton per day copper concentrator addition went on stream as scheduled on September 1 after two weeks of test runs. The old Santo Tomas concentrator of 4,000 tons per day is stilL running at fuU capacity, but w i l l be moved to the new site unit by unit next year. With ah of the grindmg units m the same plant, the f a h potential is 12,000 tons per day.

The Sto. Nif io copper Project joint venture of PhUex-Baguio Gold-Nippon Mining is taking shape. A decision based on current feasibhity studies should be forthcoming by the end of this year. It wi l l initially begin as a 6,000 tpd block cave mine closely fol­lowing the design of the recent Philex installation.

The Mines Magazine is a pleasant and consistent soLirce of contact with "home," old friends and school ac­tivities. Marie and I read every word. Wish we could participate more but we do appreciate what someone else does.

Best regards to b o t h you and

FEBRUARY, 1970—THE MINES M A G A Z I N E

Department of State Washington, D.C. 20520 February 12, 1969

M r . Ly le H . Henderson, Geol.E. 1928 Principal Engineer United Statees Section International Boundary and

Water Commission Dear M r . Henderson:

The approach of retu-ement is com­monly a period of mingled sadness and joy, not only for those who look forward expectantly to its pleasures, but also for those who must bid them f areweh. We who must remain at duty are glad for the blessings of health and matrimony that offer our retiring friends the prospect of years of care­free activity together, but we cannot avoid a sense of loss and emptiness at the departm'e of one who has been so long an important part of our work­day lives. We can only hope that you take with you the same conviction of work well done and of high accom­plishment that you leave behind with those who have known you and shared your efforts.

Foremost in that accomphshment must sm-ely be the great international Amistad Dam now astride the Rio Grande at the site you selected and already providing the benefits you en­visaged. I caimot imagine a finer achievement for a professional engi­neer than to have changed the face of the earth in such an awesome and f ru i t fu l manner.

In behalf of the Department of State, for which you have contributed thus steadfastly and impressively, I thank you deeply and gratefully, and extend the very best wishes to you and Mrs . Henderson for many years of satisfying relaxation.

Sincerely yours. For the Secretary of State; Maxwell Chaplin Country Director Office of Mexican Affa i rs
