McCASLIN'S TRIP'COMPUTERS, MINING

and GEOPHY~ICSProfessors John McCaslin and

William Vine spent the week ofMarch 15 in Tucson, Arizona, par-ticipating in a Symposium on Com-puter Applications in the Mining In-dustry. It was estimated that per-haps fifty percent of those attendingwere from colleges and the otherfifty percent from industry. Themembership included, besides col-lege professors and other engineers,students and other men with com-puter experience hunting jobs, grad-uate students working on problemsof a theoretical nature and represen-tatives of computer manufacturers.

Rapid advances in the computerfield, both in technology and inpractical application make attend-ance at affairs such as these an ad-venture. Anyone is liable to comeup. with an exciting discovery thatturns a whole body of existingknowledge obsolete. In conversa-tions over coffee, information ofpractical and theoretical value isexchanged that is put to use by stu-dents and engineers as soon as theyget back to their own computers.

Sessions were conducted everyday of the week. One of these wasa specialized course in mathematicaltechniques used in computer pro-gramming. Others were concernedwith the specific applications variouspeople' in industry have found useful.Most were concerned with ways toimprove effective use in the miningindustry, including open pit and un-derground mining of coal and met-als, and in prospecting. Also in-cluded, though not directly relatedto computers, was a session on geo-physics, as this science is relatedto mining.

Preceeding his arrival in Tucson,Professor McCaslin spent a day inDallas, Texas, inspecting facilitiesin Geophysical Services, Incorpor-ated, of which Texas Instruments isa part. This company is one of per-haps two dozens in the UnitedStates, and possibly the largest. Itsservices include the making of welllogs in the field for oil companies,and then analyzing them on giantcomputers specially designed forthis work. Other services have todo with analyzing information ob-tained from use of seismographicand oceanographic instruments. Mr.McCaslin stated that the knowledgeof the equipment and proceduresand the people he met on this tourwill be very useful in helping stu-dents to prepare for careers in afield such as this one.

Curt Peterson, a senior in petro-leum engineering, and John Gow,a junior in engineering science, _re-cently received Cobb FoundationScholarships. These scholarships of$250 each are given to. students onthe basis of scholarship and need.Mrs. Mary L. Cobb of Great Fallsis president, of the Cobb Founda-tion.

F. M. Young has received the Na-toinal Science Foundation Scholar-"ship to the Institute of Transporta-tion Engineering I from OklahomaState University at Stillwater, Ok-lahoma.Mr. Young will go to Oklahoma

University during the sum mermonths of June, July and Augustand take courses dealing with en-gineering.The purpose of the scholarship is

twofold. First, it is to broaden thebackground of the faculty and sec-ond, it is to teach the faculty newtechniques in the engineering fieldwhich they call relay to their stu-dents.

Mr. Young graduated from theSchool of Mines in 1950 with a B.S.in Geology and came back to teachat the Mines in 1959. He is cur-rently teaching Electricity, FluidMechanics and Physics. Along withhis teaching, Mr. Young is also sec-ond vice-president of the ButteChapter of Engineers. He is pres-ently working towards a Master'sDegree in Geology, which he ex-pects to receive this year.

E-Days Display ResultsThe results of the E-Days dis-

play competition were announced byCarl Koskimaki, Chairman, andGustov Stolz, Ballot Judge. Win-ning first place and the $25 prizewas the Mineral Dressing Depart-ment. The Petroleum Departmentcaptured second place, the $15 prize,and the Geology Department placedthird.

JOHN L. GOW T'HIEY1E$ ROB SUBSometime during the night of

Tuesday, March 23, a person withor without accomplices, got into theStudent Union Building and took$185 of the snack bar's receipts. Itis not known how the SUB or thekitchen were entered without leavingmarks. There is some speculationthat the thieves were in the build-ing when it was closed for thenight.On Wednesday morning, Vesta

Scott, who is the cook during theday, found the kitchen ransacked,and the money bag gone. Thealuminum curtain which covers thesnack bar opening was found halfraised and the light bulb near thekitchen door had been unscrewed.

By Wednesday night all of theamateur detectives of MSM hadstudied all the available facts, butunfortunately they couldn't solve themystery either. By Thursday, 80per cent of the study body hadconfessed 'the crime, but for somereason no one could prove anyone'sguilt. The other 20 percent wasaccused and questioned according tokangaroo court methods, but as aresult of a lack of evidence all sus-pects were freed.

Eng ineers' BallThe Engineers' Ball was recently

held Saturday, March 27, at theElks Hall. This formal dance wasthe highlight of E-Days. The"Bali," was the first in the historyof Engineering Days. Those in-vited were all members of the stu-dent body, general arrd engineering,plus any guests that a student mightinvite. Price of admission was $1.50per couple and the couples dancedto the music of Difronzo's Band.Sigma Rho and Theta Tau spon-sored this dance. Gooch Robinson,Rudy Wachtler, Leroy Wilkes,Spike Donogan, and Russ Billsmade the necessary preparations forthis dance.

MINERAL DRESSI·NGTAKES FIRST IN E-DAYS

The first place mineral dressing display consisted of ex-planations of old milling methods, the graduate laboratories,Montana mineral display, industrial exhibits, the cement plantprocess flow sheet, and a jaw-crucher display.The metallurgy department dem- ---------------

onstrated X-ray machine, the effectsof heat-treating metals, method ofmeasuring furnace temperatures,metalographic specimens and theuse of the swaging machine. ,Among the displays of the chern-

istry department were a cloud cham-ber, a vapor phase chromatograph,a bubble cap distillation color scope.a study of ionic migration, osmoticpressure, liquid chromatographyseparation of ions and the recoveryof copper oxide ore.

Geology Deportment I

DisplayThe Geology Department pre-

pared an extensive display. Itstheme was entitled "The Role ofGeology in Unlqcking Montana'sFuture." Separate parts of the dis-play were devoted to the differentdivisions of geology, each having akey to the lock. For example, themining geologists' key was repre-sented by illustrating the role theyplay in mineral exploration. A ro-tary drill sunk an 80 foot hole onthe campus, east of the engineeringbuilding. At this depth rhyolite wasexpected. Such was not the case.Instead, either quartz magorite orgrano diorite was found, although apositive identification has not yetbeen made. The exploration wasdone to locate ore from the OrphanGirl Mine Silver vein. Preliminaryexploration using a magnetometerhad indicated this vein to be in thearea of the drill hole, and had therebeen more drill steels available todeepen the hole, the vein wouldprobably have been hit. The pre-liminary exploration method usingthe magnetometer was also a \partof the display, as well as the methodby which the cuttings of the drillhole are analyzed.

Other divisions of geology wererepresented -by displays of instru-ments and methods used in geologicmapping: the use of ultravioletlights to detect fluorescent minerals;the use of geiger-counters to locateuranium deposits; how an electromagnetic separator is used to ana-lyze sediments and the sedimentaryrocks; and the usefulness of micro-polishers for preparing specimensfor viewing micro-fossils and vari-ous mineral structures, and demon-strations of the use of spectroscopesand differential thermal analysis ap-paratus in determining the compo-sition of unknown minerals. An ex-planation of how geo-chemists findan ore prospect by chemical meanswas given, and an oceanographicmovie, "The Restless Sea," wassh~wl) at intervals during "E" Days,to Illustrate the role of geologists inoceanographic work.All added up to a very interesting

display.

Mining DepartmentDisplay

The Mining Department's displaywas an interesting contribtuion to"E" Days. It consisted of a dis-play of mine models, mine ventila-tion equipment, and sur v e yin gequipment. The surveying equip-ment was dated from 1890 until1963, and it showed a good cross-section of the development of thisequipment over the years.Also in the mining display, the

story of underground warfare inButte was told and illustrated withmodels. In the early days of min-ing in the Butte area, many dis-·putes arose concerning mineralrights and mining claims. Law-suits,often resulted, and to settle the is-sues each litigant was compelled tohave models constructed of what itthought was the geologic structureof the area in dispute. Then ajury could decide which side wasright. Very 'many of the mininglaws used throughout the world to-

were made right here in Butteas a result of these cases.

ParachutersOne of the main attractions of

E-Days was parachute jumping bythree Montana School of Mines stu-dents. The three jumpers, Carl Kos-kimaki, Dave Bennett and DanMoilanen, jumped both Saturdayand Sunday as scheduled. Thejumpers had to jump' about tenminutes early Saturday because ofweather conditions. The jump wasat approximately 8,000 feet with aten second delay. Sunday weatherconditions were better and the stu-dents jumped at 14,000 feet with a40 second free dive in space. Theplane that carried the jumpers waspaid for and sponsored by the And-erson-Carlisle Society.

MSM BandAnother attraction of E-Days was

the MSM band, under the directionof Harold Yde and Rod Lewis; theband played during the jumping onSunday from the balcony of theSub. The band was scheduled toplay Saturday but was unable tobecause of the early jump and theprevailing weather conditions.

AWSRefreshments were served as

planned by the Associated WomensStudents in the SUB on Saturdayand Sunday to all guests. The girlsserved punch, coffee, cookies andcake. They worked in shifts of threehours each. The refreshments werepurchased by the Anderson-CarlisleSociety.

As the time draws near for the "M" Day elections, themethod of voting procedure becomes an' important considera-tion. Last year, as in the past, voting was held during thenoon hour of "M" day. However, the turn-out was about 50%of the student body, a very poor showing for a small school.One reason for the low number who voted was the short timethat voting was held. An hour is not enough time for 500 stu-dents to cast their ballots. This year a heavy turn-out at thepoll is desired so that the choice of the majority of the stu--dents will determine their student body officers. To give themajority time in which to make their decisions for their offices,a longer period of holding the election will be necessary. Per-haps the most accommodating method would be to hold theelection for a four hour period, say between 10 A.M: till 2 P.M.on "M" Day. Since an amendment to the constitution will notbe needed to extend the voting time, the student council, whichhas charge over the details of the election, could mandate thelonger voting time. Hopefully, the student council will act.

Dear Ann:You simply must help me! I am

desperate, Ann. If you knew me,you would doubtlessly love me; Iam very cute, cuddly, pretty, so-phisticated, witty, urbane, chic, andaltogether wonderful. Daddy callsme his Fairy Princess and Mommysays I will someday be chosen MissAmerica; they are both probablyright.

I am a coed at the School ofMines and everybody adores andsimply worships me; they think Iam a vision of beauty and, again,they are probably right too: Schoolis fun and gay and simply mar-velous! I won the can test for thebest "What MSM Means To Me"paper. Isn't that exciting, Ann?

This is my disastrous problem:·the fellows have a devilishly' de-lightful game' they call "Shootingthe Beav," and Ann, I wonderwhether I should hit them with mypurse, smile, or wear pants whenthey play this game with me? Whatdo you think?

You complain about the poor at-tendance at a dance, but you didnot attend yourself. You excuseyour attendance because "you'rebroke," but last weekend you spentfifteen dollars scientifically testingthe human consumption capacityfor intoxicating beverages. You dis-credit the efforts of a football orbasketball team, not to mention thefact your support of them could beconsidered commendable, either.Maybe you are one of those per-

sons who as yet has been unable tobreak the apron strings of a highschool society. You remain in yourhigh school adolescent rut. Youradjustment to a radically differentcollege society is extremely slow oreven agonizingly stagnant. Insteadof attempting adjustment, you arecontent to wallow in the memoriesof a lost high school society. In-stead of admitting your inability toadjust to college life, you shift theblame of discontent to the college it-self. Ask yourself again why youare dissatisfied with MSM, andsurely you will feel a twinge ofguilt, for it is yourself, not MSM,with which you find dissatsisfaction.MSM can only be as enjoyable andenlightening as you choose to makeit through active participation.

The Metallurgy Department waspresented a seminar by A. S. Brar,on March 30. The title of the semi-nar was The Nondestructive Test-ing of Metals. Non~es~ru~ti,:e ex-amination of a matenal IS similar tomedical examination of the humanbody. Both have as their objectivethe assessment of the probability ofsurvival under known conditions andthe detection of disorders that maylead to premature decrease or fail-ure. Fortunately, the medical doc-tor is not allowed to apply destruc-tive tests to the living body and istherefore never tempted to assessthe fitness of one man by disectinganother. The metallurgist, however,is often forced to adopt a compar-able procedure and to rely on strictcontrol of manufacturing processesto maintain a uniform product.These tests indicate the nature andthe location of abnormalities. Aquestion and answer period followedthe seminar.

The German Club met on Thurs-day, March 25, in Room 109 of theStudent Union Building, in orderto hear Mrs. Nita Holmstrom de-liver a talk on some of her past ex-periences as a German citizen un-der the Third Reich.Born and raised iii Bremen, Ger-

·many, Mrs. Holmstrom experi-enced the rise of the Nazi Party,the Second World War, the East-West struggle over Germany after1945, and the rehabilitation of theGerman people.At the roundtable discussion,

Mrs. Holmstrom answered ques-tions concerning the splitting ofGerman political parties, which re-sulted in Hitler's Nazi Party togain control. Also, she emphasizedthe fact that the German peoplewere not aware of the rise of Naz-ism and its resultant destruction ofthe freedoms enjoyed by the Ger-man people under the Weimar Re-public.

Mrs. Holmstrom feels that theGerman people, to some degree,.still harbor resentment toward theAmericans and the British as a re-sult of the terrible bombings ofGerman cities by both the UnitedStates and the Royal Air Force.

Mrs. Holmstrom's mother also at-tended the German Club Meeting,and answered questions related to DR. STEW ART G. FLETCHERthe topic. It might be mentionedthat both Mrs. Holmstrom and her .

Profits . Tools JobsIt has been said that failure to recognize the key

role of profits in our American free enterprise systemmay jwell be the greatest single threat our countryfaces .

A profitable company is an employee's best friend.The tools provided him are still his most importantservant, and these are paid for from industry's profits.

He can no more take away adequate profits andhave free enterprise left than we can take away thepeople's right to vote and have democracy left.

Profits buy new and improved tools, pay for re-search, and develop new sources of materials. Indus- _try's profits builds America's future.
