fi Parker Hall looks quiet and calm on a Saturday morning, but during the week it is one of the busiest places on campus. It houses the offices of the chancellor, registrar, cashier, payroll, student financial aid, admissions, continuing education, financial services and personnel. The benches around the flag pole in front of the Curtis Laws Wilson Library provide the perfect place to meet friends between classes. Photos by Jeff Barczewski

Dr. Martin Jischke comes to UMR Dear UMR Students, I have met several of you since I arrived on campus April 28, but even before that, I had heard many good things about you. In fact, you are one of the main reasons I chose to come to UMR. Your outstanding academic reputation, your concern for others as shown by numerous service projects, and your leadership ac- complishments all attest to the high quality of UMR ' s student body. It is no wonder that notable alumni come from your ranks. To those of you who will graduate May 11, I offer my congratulations. I have come to campus just about the time many of you are leaving, but I hope we will meet again as you return as alumni or as graduate students. To those of you who are not graduating this spring, I wish you the best of luck during finals week, and I shall see you on campus this summer or fall for a great 1986-87 school year. 1 know it is going to be a pleasure be- ing with you at UMR. Sincerely, Martin C. Jischke UMR Chancellor (This letter was published in the April 29. 1986 issue of the Missouri Miner.) ' The superior student body at UMR” is one of the factors that attracted Dr. Martin C. Jischke to UMR he said after he was announced to be the new chancellor for the Rolla campus by UM President C. Peter Magrath on February 14. 1986 at UMR.

Before Jischke made his remarks, Magrath presented he and his family with some presents from the UM system including a heart-shaped box of candy for his Valentine ' s Day appointment as chancellor. Jischke was also introduced to one of the campus 1 better known traditions of St. Pat ' s. Magrath presented him with a walking stick, provided by Kappa Delta, also a shillelagh from Sigma Tau Gam- ma was positioned in the background. “My family and 1 are certainly looking forward to joining the Rolla Community and the University of Missouri family,” Chancellor Jischke holds up a walking stick presented to him by UM President C, Peter Magrath, which was provided by Kappa Delta. President Magrath discusses the tradition behind St. Pat ' s and the walking stick. u Rolla is distinguished by its superb student body } dedicated faculty and devoted alumni.” Jischke said. “I consider this appoint- ment to be a special honor. Rolla is distinguished by its superb student body, dedicated faculty and devoted alumni. I am convinced that in the future UMR will play an even greater role in educating the young people of Missouri and in fostering a bright economic future for all Missourians.” Photos by Robyn Eder 14
