CSM and CSMAA Sign Joint Operating Agreement
Representatives of CSM and the Alumni Association signed the Alumni Association affiliation
agreement Dec. 11, 2003. Below are excerpts from remarks made at the signing ceremony by
John Schwartzberg BSc Met ’88, CSMAA president, and a response to the historic occasion from
John Trefny, CSM president.
“On behalf of the Alumni Association, I
am pleased and proud to be here to join
our new partners in alumni relations at
Colorado School of Mines.
For those of us involved in the process of
reaching this agreement, today’s ceremony
may seem like an accomplishment. And
CSM Board of Trustees President F. Steven Mooney
while it is, it is really more of a new
(front left), CSM President John Trefny and CSMAA
beginning. Many people have spent
President John Schwartzberg at signing ceremony
countless hours working behind the scenes
to arrive at this agreement and for that I offer my most heartfelt gratitude.
But perhaps the most difficult work lies ahead as we strive to make this vision a reality. What we
have here, in engineering lexicon, is a conceptual design. What lies ahead is a challenging
concurrent design-and-build project. We’ll design the details while we implement Mines’ new
alumni relations programs. This agreement gives us a fine base upon which to build. It is up to us as
individuals, as organizations, and now as partners to provide the human element to make it work.
We hope today’s signing is the first of many milestones. This is a project without a completion date.
It is something we expect will evolve over time as we all work for the success of Mines.”
John Schwartzberg, CSMAA President
“This institution owes a large debt to the many individuals who worked to bring about this
agreement. While much still needs to be done, I believe we have set the stage for strengthening not
only the School’s relationship with its alumni but also the School itself.
We have long recognized that many of Mines’ inherent strengths are related to connections. These
take many forms, including the connections among faculty, staff and students; the connections we
foster between academics and student-life activities; connections among the academic disciplines in
pursuit of solutions to interdisciplinary problems; and connections with numerous partners from
industry, governments and other academic institutions.
Among the most critical connections are those we maintain with our alumni. The special quality of
Mines is imbedded in its people—those who are here now as well as those who have gone before
them. Our reputation depends on the success of our alumni and the extent to which that success
identifiably derives from their Mines experience. Close connections between the School and each of
its alumni can be of significant benefit to both. I am hopeful that the affiliation agreement will lead
to stronger ties, better services and enhanced pride among the entire Mines family.”
John Trefny, CSM President

MINES WINTER 2004
By Jessica Neal
Albert Clark, Jordan Wiens, Britta Eustice, Chris Mnich, the M-posters
From a mess of wires...to a sleek new system
or the past 70 years the renowned “M,” a symbol of Mines
pride and one of the largest mountainside monuments in
the nation, has shown brightly in the night atop Mt. Zion.
Never unlit for more than 24 hours, the “M” is maintained by
Blue Key members who have long battled the elements to keep
this record. Traditionally these keepers of the “M” have also
changed the lights each holiday season and special occasion.
F
In the past when Blue Key members wanted to switch
automation from one program to the next, they had to
manually enter the commands from the controls at the base of

the “M.” As of April 2003, thanks to the efforts of a Senior
Design foursome called the “M-posters,” Blue Key can animate
the “M” not only from their office in the Student Center, but
from anywhere in the world.
The fully computer-automated and remote-controlled emblem
started out as a solo project by Jordan Wiens BSc Eng ’03, then
a senior engineering student, to clean up and organize the
controls of the “M.” As an active student government
participant with experience as an electrician, he had assumed
the role of maintaining the “M” because of his knowledge of
wiring. However, the incomprehensible mess of wires that kept
the “M” lit during the last century and a half were starting to
spark and sizzle threateningly, and Wiens said he had had
enough!
So he designed a completely new electrical system. He presented
the project to Rockwell Automation as a community service
project for the School and Rockwell gave full funding for the
electrical automation, donating almost $8,000 worth of software
and hardware equipment. Then Wiens presented his project to
the Engineering Division. Subsequently approved for credit, it
became a Senior Design project, and a team was assigned to rework, reinstall and revamp the beloved “M.”
Wiens, Britta Eustice, Albert Clark and Chris Mnich worked for
eight months completing the “M”—and never once was the
emblem turned off during the night. Now the “M” has 40
preprogrammed sequences and can display chasing lights, color
sequences, holiday shapes and more. In addition to
contributions from Rockwell Automation, Data-Linc Corp.
donated radio modems for the remote control of the “M,” and
Ross Electric provided wire, panel boards and support
throughout the duration of the project. Upon graduation, the
“M-posters” turned the duty of maintaining the “M” back over
to Blue Key.

retired in April as executive vice president, exploration production, for ConocoPhillips Inc., reported
to Baghdad in October. His wife, Ann, remains at their home in Houston, while McKee lives
dormitory-style and also works in the Presidential Palace, now serving as coalition headquarters.
Coalition Provisional Authority Administrator L. Paul Bremer supervises the reconstruction of Iraq
with four primary goals: Create a secure environment. Begin restoration of essential services. Begin
to transform the economy. Begin the transformation to democracy.
McKee’s role in helping to achieve these goals is critical, since the oil business constitutes 95 percent
of Iraq’s revenues.
McKee explains his objectives: “As I think about what I’m
over here to do, the first thing is to move oil production up
to pre-war levels and make those levels relatively sustainable.
The second major job is to ensure there is enough gasoline,
kerosene, diesel and LPG available in the country to make it
through the cold of winter. The country can’t produce
enough of its own

goal is to help the
Iraqi Oil Ministry
craft a new Petroleum Regime that will dictate how the new
government will conduct its oil industry in the future.
Finally, the other main job is to recreate a new, modern Iraqi
National Oil Company with some autonomy from the country’s politics.”
At the Presidential Palace where McKee works, the statues of Saddam Hussein's head have
been removed. McKee notes that the day of Hussein's capture was "a day to remember."
Behind the former throne of
Saddam Hussein in the
Presidential Palace is a wall
painting of Scud missiles.
Above all, McKee notes, “The U.S.’s main challenge now is to find a good way to disengage, leaving a
strong country behind and the U.S. safer as a result.”
Work on the oil production infrastructure is targeted at reconstruction and long neglected
maintenance, rather than expansion or upgrade. The Army Corps of Engineers and the Iraqi
National Oil Company are focused on fixing pipes, pumps, transfer stations and problems at the
refineries, while concerns have recently been raised about the condition of Iraq’s underground
oil reservoirs. And, as McKee points outs, “Security remains a large problem that impacts
almost everything.”
Though the challenges are many, McKee remains optimistic. “Fortunately there are highly trained
Iraqis at every level in the oil industry. That helps make all of these things doable,” he says.

The Golden Memories of James B. Lowell ’08
n 1905, James B. Lowell Met E ’08 of Worcester, Mass., headed West for the
adventure of his life – to study engineering in Golden, Colo. According to his
daughter, Martha L. Densmore, also of Worcester, Lowell fell
in love with Colorado and would have made it his permanent
home if not for his Eastern wife who wasn’t up to a life in the
Wild West. “The years Dad spent in Colorado studying at the
School of Mines and working at summer jobs were among his
happiest,” she says. Recently, Mrs. Densmore found dozens of
photographs, all clearly labeled by her father, recording his

ines alumni and friends were treated to a
fascinating tour of the Sweet Home Mine
Sept. 25. The mine, which produces many of the
world’s best rhodochrosite specimens, is located
near the small mountain town of Alma, Colo.
Originally a silver mine in the 1870s, the Sweet
Home Mine continually produced high quality
rhodochrosite specimens along with the silver ore.
M
Today the Sweet Home Mine is operated as a
specimen mine. Modern exploration and
extraction methods used in conjunction with old
fashioned hard rock mining have resulted in
hundreds of beautiful rhodochrosite specimens.
The Alma King, the world’s largest complete
rhodochrosite, and the Denver Wall of Rhodochrosite are both
on display at the
Denver Museum
of Nature and
Science.
This was the
second year that
owner Bryan
Lees BSc Geol
’85 and the
Sweet Home
Mine offered a
tour to Mines
alumni. Lees
met the group at the mine and got it outfitted with rubber boots,
hard hats and lights. After an introduction to the mine, the group
headed underground. The mine maintains its historical roots
with smaller tunnels, dripping water and lack of electric lights.
However, modern amenities were apparent in the ventilation
system and the low profile loaders that are capable of working
underground. As the group headed deeper into the mine, Lees
showed them several stopes that had been mined out and
explained the exploration process.
“The mining method begins with underground drilling. Twenty
to 30 holes are needed to form a blast pattern. When detonated, a
2-meter by 2-meter opening, 2 meters deep is formed. This
pattern is repeated again and
again, thus forming a tunnel
underground. While
tunneling is taking
place, careful
geological,
geochemical and
engineering work is employed to locate
rhodochrosite-bearing structures. Once a good
rhodochrosite pocket is located, special tools are
brought in to extract the rhodochrosite
specimens. This step is critical. Hydraulic
diamond chainsaws and rock
splitters are used to carve
around and remove the
fragile rhodochrosite
specimens. One
damaged crystal
can ruin a
specimen’s
value,”
according
to the Collector’s Edge
Minerals, Inc. website
(www.collectorsedge.com).
In one stope, the group actually stood where the Alma King was
found. However, the real treat was the stop at some in-situ
rhodochrosite pockets. The rhodochrosite from the Sweet Home
Mine is unique because of its bright cherry-red color and
because the crystals almost always form as simple
rhombohedrons.
After the tour, the group
adjourned to the Park County
Fairgrounds where they enjoyed
box lunches and a slide
presentation. Lees continued to
captivate with photos of the
Sweet Home Mine’s greatest
treasures and exceptional
specimens from his company’s
other mines in Arizona,
California and Nevada.
The trip was a great treat for all
those who attended and we
look forward to doing it again
next year. For those who missed
this opportunity, the CSM
geology museum currently has on exhibit a special collection of
rhodochrosite from the Sweet Home Mine.

The Petroleum Institute in Abu Dhabi – An Update
By Robert M. Baldwin PhD CPR ’75
he Petroleum Institute (PI) in Abu Dhabi is now in its third
year of existence. The PI was established by Royal Decree in
the United Arab Emirates in 2000 as a cooperative venture
between the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and
four major international oil companies (BP/Amoco, Shell,
Total, JODCO). CSM, selected to be PI’s academic adviser, is in
the third year of a nine-year contract for development of the
institute’s academic and research programs. CSM’s major
responsibilities include providing academic leadership for the
curriculum, the development of facilities and academic
infrastructure and faculty
recruiting. A key component of
the agreement between the PI and
CSM is the goal of achieving
international accreditation
through the Accreditation Board
for Engineering and Technology
(ABET); CSM is charged with
providing the leadership to achieve
Dr. Golden (second from right) with this goal.

The PI eventually will offer five undergraduate engineering
degrees: chemical engineering, electrical engineering (with
specialties in power engineering and controls and
instrumentation engineering), mechanical engineering,
petroleum engineering and petroleum geosciences
engineering.
educational program. As of fall 2003, the PI had
approximately 400 students studying in the first three years
of the Institute’s program (Foundation, freshman,
sophomore). A new feature this year is the addition of nonUAE nationals to the student body. Five non-nationals are
currently beginning their studies in the Foundation program.
Student-exchange programs between the PI, CSM and other
engineering schools in the United States and Europe are also
being developed.
Currently, the PI operates from two newly constructed
academic buildings, with a third building for specialized
engineering laboratories under construction. A student
center and a student/faculty recreation facility are in
the final stages of design. When fully built out, the
PI campus will be able to accommodate
approximately 1,000 undergraduates at its Umm
Al Naar site.
Seven current and former CSM faculty and staff
are working at the PI. John O. Golden,
professor emeritus of chemical engineering
and former vice president of academic affairs
at CSM, is in his third year as chief academic
officer. Golden’s wife, Lynne, is a student
counselor at the institute. Hugh Murphy is
in his second year teaching physics at the
PI. Other faculty and staff this year
include Suzanne W. Scott, English and

John and Lynne Golden
Plans call for the addition of approximately 250 students each
year to reach 1,000 undergraduates at the Umm Al Naar
campus. Planning is underway for initiation of graduate studies
and research activities, and a new graduate and research center
is in the initial stages of planning and design. A continuing
education/outreach function is also being established in order to
serve the professional advancement needs of ADNOC
employees.
We are often asked about the effect of the current world political
situation, particularly the problems in the Middle East, on life for
Americans at the PI. I can truthfully say that none of our
American staff have ever felt threatened in any way. Quite the
opposite; our Arab hosts are among the most gracious and
accommodating people we have ever dealt with. The students are
kind, respectful, and in general, appreciative of our efforts to
bring a Mines-style education to the UAE. Mines faculty at the PI
often comment on how delightful the students are and what a
pleasure it is to teach at the PI. Circumstances could certainly
change quickly, but as of now, we are very encouraged by the
progress that has been made. We look forward to the future with a
sense of anticipation and excitement.

Early years of soccer at Mines
recalled by an early player
By Steve Smith
Peter Bediz Geol E ’41, MSc Geop
’42 has an extra tie to the Colorado
School of Mines besides his two
degrees.
Bediz, who lives in Calgary,
Alberta, Canada, was a
member of one of the school’s
first soccer teams – the 1938
squad coached by Castle
Reiser. Bediz played right
wing. Then, the Orediggers
competed in a Denver amateur league.
The Orediggers have had some success on the soccer field. CSM
has won seven conference titles since 1983, including four in a row
in the mid-1990s and one under present Coach Frank Kohlenstein
last year.
Bob Pearson PE ’59 won more soccer games – 125 from 1980 to
1998 – than any other coach in school history. Kohlenstein, who is
in his sixth season as Orediggers’ boss, has won 64. He picked up
his 300th career win in September 2002.
Two Miners – Eric Talburt and Joel Flanagan – were All-American
choices in 2002, the first such honors for Mines since 1995. CSM
recorded a school-record 16 wins in 2002 and finished 19th in the
national Division II rankings.
But there has to be a beginning someplace, and CSM’s first foray
into soccer was in 1935. It came courtesy of Lt. Raymond C. Hill,
an assistant professor of military science and tactics. In 1937, the
club sport became a full-fledged team – even down to the idea of
changing coaches in midseason. Efrain Guingona coached the
squad until February, according to the 1937 Prospector. A “Coach
Romney” was promoted when the team reorganized in February.
In 1937, the Prospector said, CSM’s players “were handicapped by
the lack of substitutes and in several games, they were forced to
play with less than a full team. In spite of this, the team showed a
dogged, fighting spirit that won much respect and admiration . . .”
Mines won one of four games in the first half of the season. CSM
rounded out the year with a loss and a tie. The Orediggers’
26

People

appearance in the state soccer tournament was a short one “because
of injuries and lack of substitutes,” according to the Prospector.
Though it is very popular among youth players, the sport of
soccer hasn’t caught on in America like it has overseas. In Bediz’s
native Turkey (he was born in Istanbul in 1914), soccer is a source
of national integrity.
“Soccer was extremely important for citizens,” Bediz said by
e-mail. “So whenever and wherever a person had the opportunity,
he took part in it. I, too, as a student joined the crowd. It was like
baseball in the U.S.A. – kids and grown-ups tried it in the street or
wherever they could.”
Bediz said he wasn’t good enough to make his class team or his
high school team.
“Even though I love sports, I never succeeded in any one,” Bediz said.
“However, I have always been an ardent sport spectator – still am.”
Bediz almost didn’t come to Mines. He was awarded a scholarship
by an agency of the Turkish government in 1937 and was
originally headed to Germany to study geology. Those orders were
changed, and political influence played a part.
“The change was due to the fact that another fellow like me was
originally to go to CSM,” Bediz said. “Those years, particularly in
the minds of Turks, Germany was the much preferred super
country. This fellow’s uncle, a politically powerful man, used his
influence to change his destination to his ‘much beloved Germany’
at the expense of me.”
Bediz took an English course at Mines hoping it would improve
his English-speaking skills. He said it turned out to be a “spelling
course – in college!”
“Yet I admired their mechanical mastery,” Bediz said. “In the
summer of ’37, I witnessed these kids at a fraternity house
disassemble the Model T of one of their brothers, who was at
home for the summer, and reassemble it in his fraternity room.
Foreign boys couldn’t even remove a wheel to attend to a flat tire.”
Playing soccer wasn’t the only option for getting P.E. credit.
“Another escape route was joining the glee club,” Bediz said. “By
participating in an approved sport activity or joining the glee club,
they could avoid embarrassment and, perhaps, avoid accusation of
lacking aptitude. I did sing in later years (among other selections,
Bediz said he sang “The Road to Mandalay”) because the soccer
team activity was either dead or barely alive. Afterwards, I sang for
my personal pleasure (mostly in the shower) and at Christmas.”
As the team’s right wing, Bediz’s job was to pass the ball into the
center of the field (either during an up-field rush or after a corner
kick) to set up teammates for shots at the opponents’ net. Bediz
said one or two of his centering passes may have resulted in scores
for CSM.
“It seemed to me like one or two of my corner kicks resulted in
scoring,” Bediz said. “You know, it is said that a corner kick is half
a goal. However, I seem to remember this case with a bit more
certainty that one of my centering attempts unexpectedly – if not
miraculously – ended up in the nets. Most likely, the strong wind
helped.”
Unlike today’s program that includes road trips, an organized
conference and a chance to advance to the NCAA Division II
national tournament, the CSM soccer program of 1938 had no
such amenities.
When Bediz left Mines, he became a casual fan of the sport. He
never signed on to be a coach or a referee.
“It wasn’t organized well at all,” Bediz said. “It was more nostalgic
– people getting together to enjoy their old country sport. We
played our games in Denver, mostly against amateur teams whose
players were mostly expatriates of foreign countries residing in the
Denver area.”
“Basically, the game is the same. The touch throw has changed
considerably,” Bediz said. “It’s much more relaxed now whereas
before, it was subject to very strict requirements. I watched some
of the world games when my alma mater (Galatasaray, the Turkish
school from which Bediz graduated before coming to Mines)
finished second in the world. The game may be a little faster and
more disciplined.
There wasn’t any money in the budget for what was considered a
minor sport.
“It was all in the spirit of fun,” Bediz said. “But I should confess,
with some of us – definitely for me – it was the enjoyable alternative
means of getting physical education credit. American kids were, by
far, better in sports and applied sciences, particularly in mechanical
phases, but could not even spell words in their own language.”
Bediz, who turned 90 in January, has been living in Calgary since
1949. The defunct Century Geophysical Corp. sent Bediz to
Canada for a three-month assignment that lasted 20 years. Bediz
ran his own international consulting firm until 1996, when he
retired because of acute deafness.
Stash ’81 Moves to Russia
as Oil VP
By Roberta Forsell Stauffer
In moving to Russia from Butte, Mont., last fall, Atlantic Richfield
Co. Vice President Sandy Stash BSc Pet ’81 felt a bit like she would
be traveling back in time to the Wild West Days.
The business climate she entered
hearkens back to Butte’s Copper
King era when enormous wealth
was concentrated in the hands
of a few.
Stash will live in Moscow as
vice president for health,
safety and the environment
for a new oil company
called TNK-BP. It’s being
formed by a merger of
British Petroleum,
which owns Atlantic
Richfield, and two Russian
companies, TNK and Sidenco, and will become
the third-largest oil company in Russia and the seventhlargest in the world. She characterized the business deal as
basically “a couple of guys merging with a huge corporation.”
Pre-1991, all the new company’s Russian oil assets – drilling
operations that span the country, major refineries, thousands of
gas stations – were government-owned. When the Soviet Union
broke up, just a few individuals assumed ownership of the assets.
“There’s an interesting contract over there right now – some
overhang from the Soviet days and a new entrepreneurial spirit
that the Russians have,” Stash said. “There’s a little element of the
Wild West about it.”
A huge divide separates the wealthy from the rest of society. Stash
said she’s heard the average monthly wage is between $200 and
$300; yet rent for a Moscow apartment ranges from $6,000 to
$12,000 a month.
In essence, there are two economies, Stash said – rich Russians and
foreigners on the one hand, and the remainder, eking out a living.
A middle class is emerging, however, and Stash said the most
exciting part of her job will be to play a part in that.
In her new assignment, she’ll oversee cleanup projects and
implementation of new environmental controls, such as measures
27
MINES WINTER 2004
to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Russia
has a lot of environmental regulations on
the books, Stash said, but not many are
enforced. She expects that to change as the
country evolves. “Caring about the
environment is a rich man’s sport,” she
said.
Stash, 44, has been with Atlantic Richfield
for her entire career, joining the company
in 1981 after graduation from Mines. She
was born in Wilkes-Barre, Pa., a coalmining town, and grew up in upstate New
York. She spent her early years with Arco
on oil rigs, mainly throughout Alaska and
Montana, but also in California and Texas.
During most of her 14 years in Montana,
Stash has been at the helm of Arco’s
federally mandated cleanup of
contaminated Upper Clark Fork River basin
sites stretching from Butte to Milltown. She
said the company is approaching the $900
million mark on Superfund-related
spending on the Clark Fork sites. “Not
many times in a career will you get to be
involved on that scale,” Stash said.
She said she’s been most pleased with the
top-notch staff she’s worked with and the
creative projects accomplished such as
Anaconda’s Old Works Golf Course and
Butte’s Copper Mountain Sports Complex,
which turned waste sites into community
assets. Projects like these were hard-sells
all around a decade ago, but now they’re
being replicated throughout the country,
Stash said.
Other bright spots are the settlements
Arco has reached to date, such as the major
Natural Resource Damage lawsuit
settlement and the Silver Bow Creek
cleanup agreement. Arco has entered into
more settlements in Montana than in other
parts of the country, and Stash called them
a way to resolve liability cost effectively.”
“It takes concessions on both sides—we
paid more than we wanted to, and they
(state agencies) got less,” she said.
Without a willingness to settle, gridlock
can set in and nothing gets done. Money
wasted on seemingly endless studies and
legal fees is a frustration Stash shared.
Another difficulty has been what she sees
as a tendency for the facts to get lost in the
rehetoric surrounding decisions. Debate
on cleanup alternatives is
healthy, Stash said, as
long as all parties are
basing their arguments
on the same facts.
She said the biggest
challenge she’s
faced during her
time in Montana
has been getting
past hard
feelings created
by the way
Arco
abruptly
shut down
mining
operations
more than 20
years ago. It took a while for
the company to acknowledge its role and
responsibility to the communities of Butte
and Anaconda, she admitted, and it was
the Arco retirees who most helped move
everyone beyond hard feelings and on to a
different relationship with Arco focused on
making the most of cleanup opportunities
As the cleanup winds down, Stash’s hope is
that more settlements can be reached that
empower local entities to take care of the
various cleanup sites once Arco no longer
has a presence in the area.
“I think we’re so poised to finish this out
in a really powerful way,” Stash said.
And she’ll surely be keeping tabs on the
developments from afar. “I really care
about this” she said of her Montana
Superfund work, “and I’ve always had 100percent backing from my employer.”

Women’s Cross Country Team Runs Into History
By Gregory Murphy, Sports Information Director
It was a season to remember
for the Mines women’s cross
country team and longtime
Head Coach Oscar Boes. The
team ran hard all season long
and wound up placing fifth at
the 2003 NCAA Division II
North Central Regional
Championships in Wayne, Neb.
The fifth-place finish enabled
Mines to qualify for the
Division II National
Championships for the first

women completed their
remarkable season with a 14th-place finish in the nation. It also
marked the first time in the history of Mines athletics that an
entire women’s team qualified
for nationals. Qualifying was
made extra sweet because it
came during Boes’ 23rd season
at the helm of the program.
The road to nationals began at
the University of Colorado’s
Open Meet Aug. 30 in Boulder.
Following meets at Adams
State, the University of Nebraska and once again the University of
Colorado, the team was ready to compete at the Rocky Mountain
Athletic Conference (RMAC) Championships in Alamosa, Colo.
Running against the best teams in the region and country
throughout the season proved to pay dividends for the team at the
conference championships. Just one year after placing a programbest fourth, the Orediggers duplicated the feat by earning a
fourth-place finish at the RMAC Championships behind
nationally ranked Adams State, Western State and CU-Colorado
Springs. That set the stage for the regional championships Nov. 8
in Wayne, Neb.
The Orediggers knew they were in for a fight, competing in the
North Central Region, which is the most difficult region in the
country. However, the team knew that five teams from the region
30

would qualify for nationals and CSM had
a shot at placing in the top five. When the
dust settled, the Orediggers had done it. Running in
temperatures below 20
degrees, CSM placed fifth
as a team and earned
a trip to the national
championships. In the
process, CSM knocked off
three teams ranked ahead
of them in the regional and
national rankings.

group combined for 167
points to edge out UCCS by
four points for the fifth and final spot from the region. The fifth
place showing also catapulted Mines into the national rankings
for the first time in program history at No. 16 as the team
prepared to head to Raleigh,
N.C., to compete at the national
championships.
There the Orediggers claimed
14th place out of 24 teams with
344 points. Beresford led the
way with a 22nd-place finish,
which enabled her to garner AllAmerican honors. Also earning points for Mines were Davey
(56th), Simpson (97th), Shanks (115th) and sophomore Loren
Large (134th). With almost every runner slated to return in 2004,
including all seven runners who competed at nationals, the
Orediggers will look to improve on their position at next year’s
national championships.

Mines Athletes Volunteer
Throughout the fall semester, CSM athletes have
volunteered their time and energy to make a
difference in the community. The volunteer work
began back in early August when Mines Head
Football Coach Bob Stitt had his players help
incoming freshmen move into the dorms.
Volunteer work continued into October when the
Student Athlete Advisory Committee set up a canned
food drive during homecoming weekend. The committee
welcomed numerous donations throughout the
football and volleyball games Oct. 18 and raffled off
several prizes to those who donated items.
Finally in November, 16 members of the Oredigger
football team volunteered to be readers at Harris Park
Elementary School in Westminster, Colo., for National Young

autographed bookmarks to the children.

$1 Million Gift Honors Former Mines Professors
Jim ’59 and Arlene Payne Endow Three Scholarships for Hollister, Keating and Meredith
By David Rein
Most individuals can look back on their life and identify turning
points—events or experiences of such importance that they were
never quite the same again. Such change can hinge on numerous
factors, particularly the influence of mentors—professors,
coaches, professional colleagues. For Jim Payne Geop E ’59
three Mines professors stand out as having had an extraordinary
impact on his life. And out of appreciation, he has chosen an
extraordinary way to honor them. With a $1 million donation,
Jim and his wife Arlene have established the James L. and Arlene
H. Payne Endowment. This endowment will generate support for
the following scholarships and fellowships:

and he wanted them to learn. Former student Vincent Ames Geol
E ’53, MSc Geol ’57 maintains that one of the things that made
Keating such an outstanding teacher was his exceptional one-onone skills with students. “He made you think that he cared about
you personally, that he wanted you to ‘get it,’ which inspired you
as a student to strive to understand.”
When Keating retired in 1962, the geology department newsletter
reported, “Probably the greatest satisfaction in this man’s life came
in seeing a Mines student overcome difficulties to graduate and
become a successful alumnus. He was both friend and adviser to
countless students. A measure of the respect and affection which
he earned can be seen in the association which he enjoyed with
the alumni.”
The John C. Hollister Graduate Fellowship in Geophysics,
The George Meredith Scholarship in Geophysics, and
The Paul Keating Graduate Fellowship in Geology.
“While I went to Colorado School of Mines,” Payne explains, “I
was fortunate to be exposed to many high quality instructors and
professors. As I got older, I realized that out of that group, three in
particular significantly influenced my actions after Mines. I grew
to understand how much they had helped me not just in my
education, but in my life, and I wanted to recognize what they
had done for me.”
Arlene and Jim Payne
Mines President John U. Trefny reflects on the Paynes’ gift: “As
someone who has devoted his life to education, I especially
appreciate Jim’s recognition of the role these professors played in
his life. I hope future recipients of the scholarships will learn from
Jim’s example of commitment and hard work as much as they will
benefit from Jim and Arlene’s generosity.”
Although these three professors each began their association with
Mines more than 50 years ago, the memories of those who knew
them reveal much. Though vastly different in demeanor and
teaching styles, each was guided by a deep devotion to the welfare
of his students. Consequently they built life-long bonds between
their students and themselves and, in turn, between alumni and
Colorado School of Mines.
Paul Keating EM ’21’s life at Mines was dominated by his
teaching. He taught two of the four required undergraduate
geology courses: Mineralogy and Crystallography, the latter of
which earned him the nickname “Crystal Paul.”
Louis Scher PE ’56, who flew in from Europe to be with Paul
in his last days, remembers, “His love of the School and his
dedication to teaching were unmatched by anyone on the faculty
during his tenure. He would go out further on a limb, both
personally and financially, for any student whom he felt needed
help, and whom he felt could cut the mustard with that little extra
boost…I am one of those students, and I sincerely believe that if it
had not been for his help and guidance during those crucial years
of my youth, I never would have finished school and made a go of
it in my profession.”
George “Doc” Meredith was a striking physical presence about
campus, being both very tall and very lean—an appearance that
earned him the appellation of “the gray ghost.”
A quiet man, Meredith was renowned for both the rigor of his
classes and his dry wit. Perhaps the most famous example of
Meredith’s sense of fun occurred when his students came to class,
each with a bag of peanuts, and spent the entire lecture noisily
cracking them. A former Meredith student, Al Balch DSc Geop ’64,

black on one side and fire engine red on the other (not pictured).
recalls, how Meredith pretended not to notice and simply
continued with his lecture. The next week, when his students were
to be tested on the “Peanut Party” lecture, Meredith came
equipped with an ample supply of walnuts and a hammer. “All
through the exam, Bam! Bam! Bam!” Balch laughs.
Meredith’s lighter side was accompanied by a deep concern for his
students. Prof. Ken Larner Geop E ’60, PhD Geop ’70 recalls him
as “a very thoughtful and caring individual.” Tom Davis PhD
Geop ’94 of Mines’ Geophysics Department puts it succinctly: “He
gave of himself.” Frank Hadsell DSC Geop ’61, another former
Meredith student, states, “My life would have been much poorer
without his tutelage.”
Moreover, as John Hollister wrote on the occasion of Meredith’s
retirement, “Students took with them much more than the
One of the main tools in Keating’s lecturing arsenal was to
provide memorable, often salty, descriptions of the subject matter
at hand. Even after 50 years, these descriptions still stick in the
memory of many of Keating’s students. Fred Meissner Goel E ’53,
MSc Goel ’54, one former student, explains what lay under the
colorful rhetoric. Keating would take complex ideas and present
them in simple terms that everyone could understand. “You might
forget a mineral was monoclinic, but you certainly would
remember that it was shaped like an outhouse.”

memory of Dr. Meredith’s wit. He gave them a pride of
accomplishment when they successfully passed his four tough
courses.”
Al Balch recalls how, although he seemed to keep people at arm’s
length, Meredith never forgot a student’s name and was able to
recall their names years after they had taken his class.
Above all, Meredith was a teacher. Although he was the only
professor with a Ph.D. in the geophysics department at the time,
George placed a higher priority on teaching than research. He even
declined the offered position of department head, preferring the
classroom to administrative work. He often stated, “It’s the
student’s job to learn, the faculty’s job to teach and
administration’s duty to administrate.”
John Hollister Geol E ’33 is perhaps the best known of the three
faculty honored by the Paynes’ gift. Hollister served as head of the
Mines Department of Geophysics from 1949 to 1972, was a past
president of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, president of
the Denver Geophysical Society, and a winner of the Distinguished
Achievement Medal of Colorado School of Mines. And, as the
journal Oilweek recognized, at the time of his retirement he was
also the man who trained more geophysicists and geologists than
any other educator in North America.
wrote of Hollister, “As in industry, John, the academician, became
admired and also respected for impartiality, which included
patience and understanding for all who were really trying—yet at
the same time he was unyielding and uncompromising with those
displaying indifference and carelessness.”
Hollister claimed there was no secret to his approach to pedagogy:
“The quality of the instruction and personality of the instructor
must be complementary to be effective. If there is no rapport
between student and teacher, little knowledge will be exchanged.”
Hollister’s relationship with students was self-perpetuating. By
treating students with respect, Hollister was able to build a
national, and even global, network of former student contacts who
wished to repay Hollister’s kindness. The only compensation
Hollister asked for was that these people in turn help out future
Mines students and alumni. As his gift to the School clearly
demonstrates, this lesson was not lost on Jim Payne.
While each of the individuals honored by the Paynes’ gift left a
strong impression upon students and colleagues, they also left
their mark on the institution. As Tom Davis points out,
“Underlying all of their actions as professors was the
understanding that Mines, as an institution, has a valuable and
rich heritage.” Keating, Meredith and Hollister believed that each

faculty member during Hollister’s tenure, remembers “Papa John”
as a people person, outgoing and a masterful networker. While

department head, Hadsell recalls, Hollister earned his nickname
because he looked out for those in his charge—both faculty and
students. Al Balch points out, “John Hollister had all kinds of
friends and connections in the geophysics industry. They all came
through for him and he came through for them.”
John Hollister the teacher demanded much from his students, but
cared more. As Cecil Green, co-founder of Texas Instruments, once

generation of students and faculty owes much to its predecessors,
and that the way to repay that debt is to pass as much as one can
to those who follow.
Davis is heartened to think that the Paynes’ gift recognizes both
sides of this equation: acknowledgement of the debt we owe those
who have made Mines what it is today, and the recognition of our
responsibility to the School’s future.
The ARCS (Achievement Rewards for

Dueser Scholarship Continues 40 Years of Giving
In 1963, Fred Dueser PE ’49 gave a $5 contribution to
the Mines Annual Fund. This began an exemplary
40-year record of giving, which this year included a
generous pledge of $200,000 to endow the Frederick F.
and Dorothy Dueser Scholarship Fund. The four-year
merit-based Dueser scholarships will be awarded to
nonresident students, with preference given to those in
the midcontinent region. Fred and Dorothy activated
the scholarship in September with their first pledge
payment of $50,000.
“I got some help through the G.I. bill after I enrolled at
Mines,” Dueser explains, “so I wanted to give something
back to the institution. I decided to help other students
at Mines or those who want to enroll in Mines.”
The Duesers’ gift is particularly timely given its purpose of providing scholarships for
nonresident students. Mines’ ongoing strategic planning process has identified
increasing the enrollment of out-of-state and international students as a high priority,
and scholarships are essential to offset the cost of out-of-state tuition.
Since their first $5 gift, Mr. and Mrs. Dueser have been two of the School’s most
steadfast benefactors. The Duesers have been members of the prestigious Simon
Guggenheim Society of the President’s Council every year since the society was created
in 1997. “Fred and Dorothy’s support of Mines, which goes back 40 years, is truly an
inspiration,” said Mines President John U. Trefny. “They are among the elite circle of
Mines supporters who play a primary role in helping the School maintain its margin
of excellence.”

graduated from high school in Indiana and
attended Hanover College before
graduating from Mines. He was a foundry
superintendent and superintendent of
molten metals for Law-Knox Corp. in East
Chicago, Ind. He left there to become plant
metallurgist for Airco Alloys in Calvert
City, Ky., where he retired in 1985. He
also did consulting
work for Illinois
Central Gulf
Railroad. Vance was a
veteran of World War
II and saw action in
North Africa, Sicily
and Germany. Vance
was a Rite Mason and
an elder of the Presbyterian Church. He is
survived by his wife of 50 years, Phena, five
children, 14 grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren.
HARRY C. WINSLOW JR. PE ’51 died Aug.
12 surrounded by his family. He was born
in Pennsylvania and voluntarily left Penn
State his senior year to enter the Army Air
Corps and defend his country. Based in
England with the 453rd Bombardment
Group, Capt. Winslow logged a total of 30
combat missions and 260 combat hours.
He was decorated with the Air Medal and
the European African Middle Eastern
Service Ribbon. After the war he attended
Mines and eventually moved to Texas
where he spent more than 45 happy years
in the south Texas oil fields. He will always
be remembered for his fondness of Irish
setters, his love of deep sea fishing and his
boundless generosity. During the course of
Alzheimer’s disease, he managed to
maintain an unfailing sense of humor. His
stepson wrote, “I said hello to my
stepfather for the first time 31 years ago.
Today, with a heavy heart, I say goodbye
not to my stepfather but to my father.
Thank you, Harry, for shaping me into the
man I am. I love you and I will carry
forward your memory with me forever.”
Winslow is survived by his widow, Letty, six
children, two stepchildren, eight
grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
