March Medal in 1976, he has been actively involved in the SDSM& T Alumni Association and currently serves as a member of the university's Academic Advisory Board. Bob Flint's successful career with US Steel Corporation measured over forty years from an entry engineer to Director of Management Services. During the 1950' s, without the use of computers, Bob lead a team of engineers and mathematicians in the development of a series of formulae, which became known within the steel industry as the " Flint Formulae", that explain the mechanisms within a blast furnace. The commencement address was presented by Eleanor Swent, an oral historian specializing in mining history with the Regional Oral History Office of the Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley. A native of Lead, she organized and directed the oral history series, " Western Mining in the Twentieth Century." The series now numbers 47 volumes completed, with another seven volumes in process. Dawn Recker of Gillette, who graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry, gave the senior class message. Regent David R. Gienapp presented the message from the South Dakota Board of Regents. SDSM& T President Dr. Richard J. Gowen also presented Mrs. Swent with an honorary degree as Doctor of Letters and Literature. MINING HISTORY SPECIALIST AND LEAD NATIVE TO BE SDSM& T'S WINTER COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER ON SATURDAY, DECEMBER 19 Lead native Eleanor Swent, who is an oral historian specializing in mining history at the University of California- Berkeley, will give the address at SDSM& T's winter commencement. Tech's 138th commencement will be held this Saturday, December 19, at 10: 00 a. m., in the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center Theater. Chemistry major Dawn Recker of Gillette will give the senior class representative's message. Regent David R. Gienapp will present the message from the South Dakota Board of Regents. SDSM& T President Dr. Richard J. Gowen also will present Ms. Swent with an honorary degree as Doctor of Letters and Literature. Eleanor Swent is senior editor and specialist in mining history at the Regional Oral History Office, a division of the Bancroft Library, foremost repository of western American history, at the University of California at Berkeley. She is project director and research interviewer for the oral history series on Western Mining in the 20th Century which documents the lives of leaders in mining, metallurgy, geology, education in the earth and materials sciences, mining law, and the pertinent government bodies. The series includes the oral history of the late A. I. Johnson, distinguished SDSM& T alumnus and mine operator in the southern Black Hills. The volume on three Homestake mine workers, Clarence Kravig, Wayne Harford and Kenneth Kinghorn, documents various aspects of work in that mine. Eleanor Swent was born in Lead. Her mother, a geology major, and her father, a metallurgist and mining engineer, met through a college geology field trip in the Black Hills. Her father, Nathaniel Herz, became chief metallurgist for Homestake Mining Company and lived in Lead until he died just before his 90th birthday. Her mother continued to live in Lead, renewed her driver's license at the age of 94 and drove her Jeep Wagoneer until shortly before her death. She is currently working on the history of the McLaughlin gold mine in the Knoxville mining district of California and the resulting changes in the surrounding communities. This project comprises interviews with more than forty people and is a monumental documentation of the life, from start to closure, of a major mine located in an environmentally sensitive area. SDSM& T SOCIAL SCIENCES DEPARTMENT CONDUCTING RESEARCH ON SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES: STUDENTS INTERVIEW NEWLY- WED AND 50TH ANNIVERSARY COUPLES FOR THE PROJECT Faculty and students of the Social Sciences Department at the South Dakota School of Mines & Technology ( SDSM& T) have been conducting a special research project that investigates " success in marriage relationships" and the factors that contribute to the long- term success of marriage. The research is designed to address the relative dearth of information in either the sociological or psychological literature regarding success in relationships that have endured decades. Dr. Stephen Pratt, Chair of Department of Social Sciences and Associate Professor of Sociology, and Dr. Robin Lipke, Associate Professor of Psychology are directing the research project. The six SDSM& T students who were selected to work on the project include Adrian Benham, W. Bryce Gammeter, Kelli Keegan, Freddie Magnavito, and Amanda Williamson, all of Rapid City and Crystal Wood of Pringle. The students started the research process at the beginning of the fall 1998 semester. Their activities included a search of relevant literature, the construction of interview questions and questionnaire, and a random sampling of couples in the Rapid City community. To identify prospective participants in the project, the students went through the June 1997 - August 1998 issues of the Rapid City Journal and compiled a list of all couples who were announcing their wedding and those who were celebrating 50 years of marriage. Letters were then sent to a list of randomly selected couples that explained the SDSM& T research project and inquired if the couples would be interested in participation. Couples were interviewed in their homes on two occasions. One interview was conducted with the couple, with the second interview held with each person individually. To date, the SDSM& T students have arranged and conducted approximately 20- 22 face- to- face interviews with newly- married and " veteran" couples ( those married 50 years or longer) in the community. The topics of the interviews have included dating and engagement history, expectations regarding marriage, the responsibilities of both husband and wife, areas of agreement and disagreement, problem- solving, significant events in their lives, and advice for those contemplating marriage. In addition to conducting the interviews, the students will be transcribing the interviews, analyzing both qualitative and quantitative data, and providing three written reports on the specific areas of interest. Those reports will be submitted for publication in the SDSDM& T College of Interdisciplinary Studies Research Newsletter. " Both Dr. Pratt and I were pleased to provide our students with the opportunity to be involved in the community, to learn outside the classroom and to tap the wonderful resources available locally" said Dr. Lipke. " This project also lets members of the community realize the quality and abilities of our Interdisciplinary Studies students at SDSM& T." MASSAGES OFFERED TO SDSM& T STUDENTS THIS THURSDAY TO RELIEVE STRESS OF FINAL EXAMS Students at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology have the opportunity to get a massage this Thursday, December 17, to help relieve some of the stress associated with final examinations. The massages will be offered from 11: 00 a. m. to 3: 00 p. m. in the Bump Lounge of the Surbeck Student Center. TONITE, the university's student programming board, is sponsoring this stress- reduction activity for SDSM& T students. Massage Professionals, a Rapid City- based company, will provide the massages. For additional information, contact Nate Kleinschmit, TONITE president, at 394- 2652.
