The non-public eve nts (Thursday afternoon gat heri ng, ga mes a nd student knighting ceremony) were subdued somewhat , due to prior events- see February iss ue of the Alumnus. It was mostl y a UMR stud ent celebration. There weren't as ma ny visiting students from other colleges or universities as usual. In any case, ttlOse participating enjoyed the events enormously. T he following pages will show some highlights of va ri o us 1988 St. Pat's act ivities . St. Pat was M ichae l J. Gross , a senior in metallurgical engineering from St. Louis and a member of Phi Kappa

When the status of the Rolla campus of the University of Missouri was changed in 1964 from a school to a university, careful consideration had to be given to the change process. During the previous 94 years, the University of Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy (MSM) had built a national and international reputation for supplying excellent enginee ring graduates to Missouri and the nation. The idea behind elevating the campus to the university level was to enhance this reputation, not to change the nature of the institution. In addition to strengthening graduate programs in the various engineering fields, discussions with educators, alumni and representatives of industry and government pointed to three areas to emphasize. It was agreed that computer science was an area which would become increasingly important to engineering fields as the technology improved , and th at more stress should be placed on the humanities and social sciences. Also, in conjunction with humanities and social sciences, a program to provide some ma nagement skills for engineers should be established. Since World War II, business and ind'Ustries throughout the world have become increasingly complex technologically. Modern industrial management not only needs the traditional skills necessary to run a company but also needs a greater knowledge of the technical complexities involved. At the new University of Missouri-Rolla, a program for students who already had degrees in an engineering field was started in 1965 at the master's degree level through the social sciences department. The degree was an M.S. in "engineering administration," and the courses were drawn from th e fields of English (communications), economics, sociology, philosophy (ethics) and other humanities and social sciences disciplines. In 1967, Bernard R. Sarchet was named "professor in charge" of engineering management. He began to expand the program , changing th e name and curriculum of the M.S. degree and developing a four-year undergrad uate B.S. degree. The program was given department status in 1968 and moved from social sciences to the School of Engineering. Engi neering management received accred itation as an engineering discipline in 1979 and the Ph.D deg ree was ap proved in 1980. On the bachelor's level , the student fo llows the same program as do all other engineering students for the first two years . This program concentrates on a background hea vy in mathematics and science. During the third yea r, the student hooses a particular field of engineeri ng and picks up the basic courses in th at discipline. The final year, instead of taking advanced courses in the engineering disciplineaimed at design , researc h and development- the student takes th e basic management courses important to the production and marketing areas of an industria l enterprise. The M.S. and Ph.D. programs offer advanced courses in manage ment skills as we ll as modern manufacturing systems des ign and engineering. Courses in the department include principles of management, accou ntin g, operations research, production , packag-

ing, marketing, finance, personnel, statistical process control and computer-integrated manufacturing plus electives of either a quantitative or non-quantitative nature. As soon as the program was established in 1968, the master's program also was offered at the UMR Graduate Engineering Center (GEC) in St. Louis as an extension activity. A majority of the students at the GEC were employed full time and were continuing their education on a part-time basis through evening classes. The engineering management M .S. degree proved to be a popular program at the GEC and, eventually- during the early 1970s- as man y as half the GEC students enrolled in this discipline. Soon the degree was being offered at Springfield, Fort Leonard Wood and Jefferson City, too. Continuing education short courses and semi nars covering various aspects of the field have been provided both for industry and for individuals. The department also has developed extension programs to assist small businesses, and the larger industries of Missouri and surrounding areas . It coo perates in interdisciplinary projects on campus and is currently participating in the UMR Eminent Program in Intelligent Industrial Systems through various research projects in manufacturing. In the 20 years since its founding, the department has had three chairmen. Sarchet retired from the position in 1981. He was succeeded by Dr. Henry Sineath who retired in 1985 and was succeeded by the present chairman, Dr. Yildirim "Bill" Omurtag. Both former chairmen have remained on the faculty and have continued to teach. The engineering management faculty numbers 16, and enrollment includes 225 B.S. degree students, 50 M.S. degree and 19 Ph.D. degree candidates on campus with about 140 M.S. students off campus. The department has nearly 3,000 alumni. Faculty members all have several years experience in industry as well as academic credentials and both faculty and students support and are active in professional organizations . Ten years ago, Sarchet saw the need for a modern production laboratory supported by a special teaching module, classrooms and offices. Drawings were made of such a proposed structure and through the interest and generosity of alumnus E.A. Smith, '24, (now deceased) of Tulsa, Okla., who donated $250,00, a trust fund was set up for the building. During a three-year fund raising drive, a total of $500,000 in private funding was raised to provide 20 percent of the estimated cost of such a building. Support was forthcoming from the Missouri Ge neral Assembly and has resulted in th e completion of what is thought to be the largest, most modern and the only facilit y devoted excl usively to the engineeri ng management discipline in this country. The building has 32,000 square feet of f100r space and features comp uter-equipped laboratories; packaging engineering and computer-integrated manufacturing facilities for teaching and research; an auditorium and modern classrooms and sem inar rooms, as well as faculty and departmental offices.

Glass Microspheres Used to Treat Liver Cancer Researchers at the University of Missouri , in cooperation with Theragenics Co rp. , ha ve d eveloped an inno va ti ve meth od of trea tin g li ve r ca nce r with radiation contained in mi c roscop ic glass bead s. This expe rim e ntal method is currentl y undergo ing clinical tests in th e Uni ted States and Ca nada . Dr. Delbert Da y, Cu rators' Professo r of ce ramic :::ngineerin g at th e Uni ve rsit y's Rolla campus, along wi th Dr. Gary E hrhardt , have deve loped a glass used to m ake the radioacti ve beads. Millions of those beads are inj ected into th e li ve r 's main art e ry and deliver radiation doses to cancerous cells in li ve r tumors wh ile leaving hea lthy tis sue virtually unaffected.

"Medica l researchers have discove red that cancerous tumors are m o re active than health y ti ssue and require a greater bl ood suppl y," Day says . "Becau se of th at , the irradiated microspheres te nd t o concentrate in di seased tissue." According to Day, the glass bead s have several adva ntages over plasti c bead s, which were used previously, and over ex ternal method s of radiation treatment.

" In fact , a bo ut the o nl y thing t hat ca n des troy them is co nce ntra ted hydroOuoric acid ," Da y says. This inso lubilit y preve nts the glass mi cro sp heres from brea king up in the li ve r a nd releasing radi a tion to oth er pa rt s of th e bod y, which has bee n a pro blem wi th ot her types of beads used for t hat purpose.

He ad d s that th e bead s grad u all y lose their radioactivity a nd become no n-rad ioacti ve in abo ut 30 d ays . T hey remain in th e li ver indefinitely . Aft er intensive testing in laboratory a nim a ls, Theragen ics Co rp. , a n At la nta co mpany licensed by the Unive rsity of M issou ri to ma rk et th e beads , has conducted expe riments with liver ca ncer patients in Canada since Jul y 1986 . Acco rding to Julie Stephens , Theragenics project directo r, 42 liver ca ncer patients have been trea ted in Ca n ad a .
T ests are being co ndu cted a t fi ve h os pital s in co njun ction with Atom ic Energy Ca nad a , Limited. " Reports which we have received show that of th e 42 patient s trea ted , a ppro x imately 30 a re still surviv ing," Stephens says . "O ne patient has survived fo r nearl y 11'2 years. The prognosis for most liver cancers is grave . Dea th usua ll y occurs within six months to a year after th e cancer is diagno sed ." Day says that no side effects ha ve bee n reported by patients in the Ca nad ian ex periments. Tn fact , p atients with prev ious pain or nausea los t these sy mptoms after tre a tm ent with th e bead s. In th e Uni ted States, t he Fed eral Drug Administr at ion recently a ppro ved expe rime nt a l tes ts by Theragenics o n vo luntee rs. The tests a re currently in prog ress a t th e U ni ve rsity of M ichigan, according to Day. Although it is too ea rly to make any predict io ns, Day is hopeful th at ad dition al uses ca n be found for this meth od of delivering radioact ivit y into affected o rga ns. " If ph ys icia ns co nclud e that dose s of high radi oacti vit y ca n be d eli vered to cancerous cel ls with little o r no damage to surrounding tiss ue, th ey mi ght be abl e to spare patients the discomforts of present treatm ent s," Day says .

Wateriet Research Forges Ahead into Alternative Fuels Instead of gasoline or diesel fuel , engines of the future m ay burn a mixture of compressed air a nd microsco pic particles of coal. That, at least, is the hope of reseachers at UMR's High Press ure Wate rjet Laboratory, who are studying the use of coal du st as alternative fuel so urces. "Us ing high press ure waterjets, we've been conducting experiments with coal disintegration," comments Dr. Marian Mazurkiewicz, associate professor of mining engineering and principal investigator of the resea rch proj ect. "We can now break down the coal into particles smaller than one micron ." ( A micron is one mi ll ionth of a meter.) " If par ticles of this size are suspended ¡i n compressed air, the mi xture behaves like gas," he adds , "allowing the mixture to be used as fuel for internal combustion engines." Mazurkiewicz is quick to point out that research with such fuels has already progressed beyond theory and speculation , noting that several large companies, including General Electric and General Motors, have experimented with coal-water slurry in diesel engines. Waterjet pressures ranging from 5,000-40,000 pounds per squa re inch are used for the coal disintegration, and no zzles on the jet a re generally from four to twelve thousandths of an inch in diameter. According to Mazurkiewicz, UMR research differs from other research in that eve n though coa l particles as large as 50 microns can be used in fuel mixtures, much smalle r part icles are being generated at UMR. This research is important, Mazurkiewicz says , in a wo rld of limited e ne rgy reso urces. "Our oil rese rves aren't going to last forever, but we may have eno ugh coal for three or four
hundred yea rs." Funded by the U.S. Department of Energy since 1985, the UMR research team consists of Mazurkiewicz, Dr. Grzegorz Galecki, Zbigniew Kubala, visiting scholars at UMR's Rock Mechanics and Explosives Research Center, and Lalith Wijeratne, a UMR graduate student. The team's research progress suggests that there may be many uses for a new coal-based fuel alternative. "Actually, th e possible applications of this research are unlimited ," Mazurkiewicz says . "Us ing particles of, say, five to ten microns i'n size, a 50-50 mixture of coal and water can be created for use as fu el for industrial po wer plants." But if the resea rch looks promisi ng for the future, it is also decidedly problematic at present. According to Mazurkiewicz, sulfer and various mine ral impurities must first be removed from the coal befo re the mi xture co uld be used. "If these substances aren't remo ved , damage to the cylinder lining of the engine can occur. And aci d rain resulting from exhaust emissions is a noth er possible danger," he says. Despite these problems, howeve r, Mazurkiewicz remains optimistic and research will continue at UMR to ex plore the possible refinements of these alternative fuels . " We're read y to move upscale with our research now, improving crushing techniques and demonstrating their advantages over other disintegration techniques ," he comments. "We want to show not only that the use of th ese alternative fuels is possible, but that waterjets a re more efficient than ex isti ng milling methods.

MINER SPORTS Gene Green, Editor Lady Miners Softball Hopes for Strong Defense First-year UMR softball coach Julie LeVeck hopes a solid defensive team yields positive results in 1988. LeVeck, who is also assistant women's basketball coach, has stressed
defensive work and a hitting attack in hopes of improving the Lady Miner softball program . The squad suffered through a 9-16 season last year, but a new attitude is present on the team, LeVeck says . "They have all worked ve ry hard, and have hit the weights, worked on their hitting and bunting skills and formed a good pitching-catching combination," she said. "Things are shaping up pretty well."
UMR's leading softball pitcher, Kristy Weber, has helped the Lady Miners jump off to their best start ever (20-8 at press time). Weber is among the MIAA leaders in wins and earned-run average.
Opening up their season in Pensacola, Fla. March 14-17, the Lady Miners have eight letterwinners returning. Projected starters for the team include Caroline Bredeman (SS), Lisa Burwell, (3B), Michelle Ditton (I B), Angie Honse (C), Lisa Korba (2B), Nancy Wehmeyer (CF), Teresa Dickenson (LF), and Nicki Westmoreland (RF). Pitchers will be Kristy Weber, Joann Stratman and Korba. Stratman will also battle for rightfield duty. "If we have one main weakness, it is that many people are playing new positions this seaso n," LeVeck sa id . "There is also a lack of depth, but that is something we will have to deal with . [ hope the team gets more mentally and physically aggressive as the season goes along."
Men's Tennis Begins Season With New Coach Some new players and a new coach grace the Miner men's tennis team this season, as Don Stringfellow takes over the program. Stringfellow, who also serves as assistant coach for the men's basketball team, has a pair of freshmen playing the one-two positions. Brian Berkstresser will start the season number one, with freshman John Johnson next in line. Also on the team will be Mark Medley, Ed Suranunt, Karl Lewin and Alex Kott. The number one doubles team will be Berkstresser-J ohnson, with MedleyKott next and Lewin and senior Randy Behm rounding out the team. "We've had a lot of improvement by everyone from the first day we went out to practice," Stringfellow said. "They are coming along pretty fast faster than I thought they would." UMR will play in the MIA A Meet April 22-23 at Lodge of the Four Seasons.
Local Talent Forms Nucleus of 1988 Men's Golf Team UMR golf coach Bud Mercier didn't have to look too far to find the nucleus for this year's golf team. The young men were in his own back yard. Four members of this year's team are from the Rolla area, an aspect Mercier attributes to the Ken Lanning Junior Tournaments over the years. Area players for the Miners are sophomore Jeff Leonard (Rolla) , Chris Boone (St. James), Todd Blanton (Sul-
18/ MSM Alumnus
livan) and Gary Branson (Owensville). The team's top player is Matt Dwyer, and all-stater from DeSmet High School. Others on the squad are Alex Vahldick, Tim Litsch and Tiraton Namatra. "This year's team shows some ability," Mercier said. "Northeast Missouri will again be the team to beat in
MIAA action, but we could be a threat if things materialize down the road." The MIAA Meet will be held April 30-May 1 at Tan-Tar-A. The NCAA II Nationals will also be held there May 17-20. "I'm looking forward to this season," Mercier said. "We have more depth than usual and a great deal of enthusiasm."

Baseball Miners Feature Talented Returnees, Little Depth in 1988 Many of the names in the UMR 1988 baseball starting lineup will be familiar around the MIAA. The rest of the roster, however, is lad en with newcomers. The Miners, 15-9 in 1987, including a 7-5 second-place fini sh in the MIAA southern division, will not be a team blessed with prove n depth this season. Most of the team's "rookies" appear on the Miner pitching staff, a prospect first-year coach Gene Green knows will present a big challenge for the team. "Our starting lineup is pretty solid , with some impressive talent ready to take the field, " Green said. " But we have precious little proven depth after that level, and a very young pitching staff. "
Returning on the mound for UMR will be senior righthander Butch Parmeley and sophomore righthander Glen Weible. Parmeley was 3-2 for UMR last season , posting the secondbest E.R.A. on the staff. Weible logged a 2-1 record, with one shutout. " After those two starters, our other six pitchers are all unproven first-ye ar players who will have to adjust to collegiate action in a hurry," Green said. "That aspect of our team will probably dictate just how well we can do this season. " Top newcomers for UMR include lefthander Chris Silies and righthander Russ Bryant. Other pitchers are Gary Rubel, Jason Bandouveres, Scott Sassmann and Colin Daugherty.
Daily also had a solid sophomore season , pacing UMR with a .38 1 ave rage, leading the team in hits, triples, stolen bases, and sacrifices. Also returning will be catcher Greg Brummer, who starts his senior season after a .325 campaign in 1987. Brummer takes over for four-year letterman John Viehmann , after playing shortstop for the Miners last year. In the starting lineup, UMR returns first-team MIAA performers Bret Voypick and Dan Daily. Voypick returns with his aggressive play at third-base, following a 1987 season that featured a .364 average. As a sophomore he led the Miners in runs scored, in game-winning RBI's, and made only six errors in 85 chances, contributing a team-high 43 assists.
Men's Track Team Enioys Team Records and Success

pril All ay
With only one senior on the team, UMR men's track coach Dewey Allgood may have expected a bit of rebuilding during the indoor season. Instead he saw his club set five team records and score more points than any Miner team ever in the MIAA meet. "We have a great group of kids out, and they did a tremendous job," Allgood said. "I think this group will continue to get even better as the outdoor season gets into full tilt." Setting UMR records during the indoor season were Jeff Balmer (1,000yard run), Gary Gibbs (880), the
shuttle-hurdle relay team of Kurt Daniels, Pat Short, Todd Mantei and Robby Goller, the distance medley relay team of Balmer, Gibbs, Mike Noble and Tim Cross, and the 400 meter relay team of Short, Daniels, Brian Dalton and Lloyd Flowers. Gibbs recorded the 13th best time in NCAA II in the 800, while Short logged the 19th best time nationally in the 60-yard high hurdles: "We scored more points (26) in the MIAA meet than ever before," Allgood said. "That was probably the most satisfying part of the season." Allgood also was impressed by Eric
Crumpecker, who finished third in the MIAA in the shot put. And for the outdoor season? "It looks promising," Allgood said. "Balmer is the lone senior, and I feel he has an excellent chance to qualify for nationals in the 1,500. And I feel Gibbs has the ability in the 800-meter run to make nationals." Allgood looks for UMR to be strong in the middle distance and throwing events, as well as the hurdles. The MIAA Meet is May 5-7 at Southeast Missouri, while the NCAA II Nationals will be held May 19-21 at Angelo State in San Angelo, Texas.

Men's Basketball Ends Season With Four Wins
New Women's Track Program Underway For the first time in the school's history, UMR is funding a women 's track a nd field program. Head coach Sarah Preston has started to build the team from the ground up, as four ladies particip ated in the ind oor season. "We had to start somewhere, and I'm happy with the small group that battled it during the ind oor seaso n," P reston said. "Hopefully there will be six addit ional runners and throwers for the outdoor season , so things are starting to look up." For the Lady Miners during indoor action, Debbie Klaus, C hrissy Adkisson, Yolanda Luster and Angie Allphin competed . Klaus' top time was
2:26 in the 880-yard run (4th at the CMSU Meet) , while Adkisson was ninth in the MIAA Meet wit h a time of 12:3 1 in the two-mile run. Luster recorded a time of 7.91 in the 60-yard run, while Allp hin served as UMR's shot-put performer. "If any alumni are aware of any student-ath letes who may be interested in UMR's women's track program, I hope they will contact me," Preston said. "S ince this is a new acti vity, we are in the bui lding stage and many people are not aware that we offer this sport to women." Preston can be reached at 314-34 14971 during regu lar office hours.
Despite Youth, UMR Swimmers Have Good Year When considerations for youth, injury and other adversity are taken into account, it is hard not to marvel at the 1987-88 UMR swimming team. "They surpassed my wildest expectations, " said coach Mark Mu llin . ''I'm very pleased with our 6-3 dual meet record, and we lose only two seniors from this team." The Miners culminated the season with a strong second-place finish at the Midwest Championships, and senior Steve Goodell was a standout. Batt ling back from an early season injury, Goodell paced the team with 45 points, as UMR nearly defeated host University of Indianapolis. Kurt Koel li ng is the o nly other Miner senior, leaving Mullins with a
great deal to look forward to next season. "Even though we did not qualify anyone for nationals, it was a great season," he said . "The standards were very high this year, and it made it really tough to qualify." Mullins feels he is having the best recruiting seaso n since he has been at UMR, giving him solid reason for optimism . "Tim Streb (200 backstroke), Scott Sandvoss (400 IM-200 freestyle) and Joe Lu ndeen (50-100 freestyle) all have excellent chances of qualifying for nationals next season, as we ll as some of our relays," Mullin said. "With some help from some newcomers, we sho uld be much improved next seaso n. "
Sometimes ending things on a high note can mean a great deal for ne xt season . That is wha t UMR head men 's basketball coach Dale Martin is hoping happens with his team. "W inning and playing well at the end of the season leaves the players returning wit h a positive feeling about the program a nd themselves," Martin said. "And sometimes that can carry over to the next seaso n." UMR ended the season 12-13 overall and 6-8 in the MIA A, winning the final four games of the year and finishing the conference season with more wins than any men's basketball squad during the 1980s. Duane Huddleston, who finished the seaso n with a 24.2 average, scored 17 points in his fin ale. The talented 6-5 guard from Decatur, Ill. , ended his ca reer second on the all-time Miner scoring list with 1,475 points, trailing only Curtis Gibson's 1,534 tallies from 1981-85. " We had some problems this season , with injuries , close defeats a nd other things a team goes through during the course of the season, but I really thought the team showed its character by the way it played down the stretch," Martin said . "It would have been easy to let up a bit when we were 8-13 , but they just tri ed even hard er to end things on a positive note." In add ition to the graduating Hud dleston , the Miners lose forward David Dean and guard Mark Givens. UMR will return double figure scorers Adrian Davis (12.2), and William McCa ul ey (11.8), along with talented freshman forward Gary Miller and starting center Tim Hudwalker. Reserves returning include Greg Sa llee, Chris Sch neid er, Ken Daggs, Steve Wands and Allen Griffey.

Lady Miners Look To "Young Veterans" in '88 It was easy at times to overlook the positive points of the 1987-88 women's basketball seaso n. Just ask he ad coach Mary Ortelee. "At times it was one of the longest seasons I've ever been through because of all the injuries, but if I allow myself to step back a moment and properly reflect on things, there are many pluses," Ortelee said. "And the pluses all point to next season." UMR finished the season 11-15 overall, 5-9 in the MIAA . While the record did not reflect what Ortelee had in mind for the team this season , some of the players received valuabte playing ex perience. Forced to play the entire season without leading scorer and reb o under Tanya Hough (red-shirted with a knee injury) and losing talented sophomore Jennifer Cordes for six games (stress fracture) , the Lad y Miners turned to a youthful mixture that often featured three freshmen and two sophomo res in the starting lineup. One of the freshmen paced the team in both scoring and rebounding, as 5- 10 forwa rd Cynthia Farrington burst on to the MIAA scene li ke a seasoned vete ran . She averaged a team-high 14.6 points a nd 7.1 rebounds , wh ile fellow freshman Casey Engstrom chipped in with some solid numbers in her unexpected role as starting center. The 6-3 Paragould , Ark. , native shot 60 percent from the field , averaged 9.6 points a nd 5.6 rebounds, while blocking 39 shots. Her progress, highlighted by a 27-point game at Missouri-St. Louis, was one of many pleasant surprises for Ortelee.
UMR Guard Duane Huddleston Named to NABC All-America Third Team Duane Huddleston, star sen ior guard for UMR , has been named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All- America Team. Huddleston, who averaged 24.2 points for the M iners, and was one of the top three-point shooters in the Un ited States, was named to the NABC Third Team. Hudd leston was the on ly MIAA performer to make the first, second or third teams, and joined St. Joseph's (Ind.) forward Stan Kappers as the only other player from the Midwest to be honored. During the 1987-88 season, Huddleston scored 606 points~ best ever in a single season for UM-Rolla. "I'm thrilled for Duane, as the NABC All- America team is quite an ho nor," said UMR head coach Dale Martin. "He not only had a fantast ic season statistically, but he also was our undisputed team leader on the floor." Hudd leston connected on 52 percent of his three-point shots and made 79 percent of his free throws. His 606 points bested th e previous mark of 595 set by Ken Stalling during the 1973-74 season. "O nly one other player has ever attained N ABC All-American status at this school," noted UMR Athletic Directo r Billy Key. "And that was alltime leading scorer Curtis Gibson, who also was named to the third team in 1984-85. We are all proud of Duane's
accomp lishments and wish to thank him for all the contributions he has made to this program." Huddleston, a three-time "Player-ofthe-Week" selection in the MIAA this year, was earlier named to the co nference first team. It was the seco nd straight season he made the first-team group. A native of D ecatur, III., the 6-5 guard came to UMR with a sterling prep record and improved dramatically during th e past two seasons.

Editor's note: The following article abut W.R . 'Pa t ' Broaddus, '55, is reprinted from the November 1987 issue of Rock Products magazine and was written by Mitchell Rukavina, associate editor. Pat was honored in Rock Produ cts' ann ual issue honoring individuals m aking "o utstanding contributions to the industry or to their operation. " According to
Richard S. Huhta, editor, Pat's inclusion in the issue is unique: "This is the first time we ha ve honored someone other than a producer, but Pat Broaddus is a remarkable person, well deserving of the honor. " Pat is a vice president of the MSM-UMR A lumni Association and can be reached at AAI, P. O. Box 2545, Dalton, GA 30722.
Pat Broaddus, '55, Honored Some day even the smallest crushed stone plant in the Un ited States wi ll be at least partially automated, and when that day comes, much of the credit will belo ng to W.R . 'Pat' Broaddus. Broaddus is the ideal champion of au tomation because of his plant testing and design expertise and rare skill in dealing with people. He is possibly the crushed stone industry's leading proponent of automation and possibly its reigning expert. Broadd us, 53, a metallurgy a nd civil engineering graduate of the M issouri School of Mines , had very little help when he started to examine the purported advantages of automation to crushed stone producers. "After graduating from co llege I worked for Allis-Chalmers in Milwaukee and Atlanta for a number of years," he says, " but I always wanted to design and build better automated processing plants. So I went to work for the D ixie Lime a nd Stone Co. in Macon (Ga.) and then at Dalton (Ga.) Rock Products Co. where 1 gained additional experience in the stone cr ush ing industry and evalu ated automation possiblities." As a quality control manager, Broaddus was given assignments that nobody else wanted to tackle. He helped increase a Dalton stone operaton , designed for 750 tons per hour but onl y producing 500 tons per hour in 1969 , to its peak production of 1500 tons per hour by 1982. " We rea lized a utom at ion was th e key to increased productivity and solving screen ing inefficiencies that increased recircu lation load and recru shing of mate ria l that shou ld have been conveyed to stockpiles," says Broaddus. He asked to be part of a national industry associati o n's fi ve-member task force to examine the ex panding world of automation in cru shed stone plants. T he tas k force soon achieved committee status for th e first nation a l industry automation conference in
24/ MSM Alumnus
by Professional Journal
1984 . Broaddus was named committee chairman for an overwhelmingly successfu l second automation conference held in Chattanooga, Tenn., in 1986, and was selected again to manage the October 19 88 automation conference scheduled for Baltimore, Md. Broaddus continues to work unse lfishly with indu stry members , exp laining how they can boost prod ucti vity at their operations throu gh automation and simp le changes in screening a nd crushing techniques . He has never asked for financial reimbursement for managing automation seminars and delivering papers at workshops and seminars throughout the country. Secretarial services , phone bills, and other expenses have come out of his own pocket. "1 am continually amazed by the crushed stone producers' eagerness to share information," says Broadd us. " It is encouraging that we are running into fewer un a utomated crushed stone operations. The bottom line now seems to be concern over operating costs, staying competitive, and maintaining quality control. " Broadd us always makes himself avai lab le to the industry to demonstrate how automation will enable stone producers to turn out a higher quality product with less deviation in spec requirements. "Plant man agers are more willing to go into the plant and quarry to make changes," says Broaddus. "They also rea li ze their eq uipment is only as good as the people who operate it. We are making progress." " ] see a great futur e for the aggregate industry in the years ahead fr o m both a technical and marketing viewpoint," says Broaddus, who sta rted his own consulting firm four years ago. " Very few stone producing areas are in a depressed market. Automation is making industry more glamorous to yo ung people with computer and engineering skills.
