It’s not a football field. It’s a marching field that the band lets the football team use sometimes.”
That is the perspective of Elyse Carter, trombone section leader for the Missouri S&T Marching Band.

Ever get curious about the people behind the names for campus buildings and athletic facilities? S&T has honored dozens of people whose influence has helped shape the campus, building it into one of the nation’s top technological research universities. Their stories are legendary — at least within our Miner Nation.
Test your knowledge of Missouri S&T’s buildings. More than 250 students earned perfect scores on the quiz, and 42 were randomly selected for prizes.
Team 42 watches its remote-control vehicle perform during the Project X competition.
Meet Team 42:
They arrive in Rolla at summer’s end like explorers ending one journey and embarking anew.
After their mid-August move-in day, many of the arriving freshman class at Missouri S&T have decked out their new living quarters, met their roommates and realized their parents are no longer down the hallway.
But it’s still one week until classes begin. What is there to do for equilibrium?
Answer: Project X.

On Aug. 1, 1973, “Bluegrass for a Saturday Night” introduced area radio listeners to what would become an institution in public radio. Since then, KMST has broadcast an eclectic mix of music and NPR news and garnered a worldwide following.
KMST, then known as KUMR, celebrated its first decade on the air in the 1980s. Pictured above on the back row are Scott Dowd, Jim Sigler, Wayne Bledsoe, Lee Buhr and Norm Movitz. Pictured on the front row are Chuck Knapp, Kelly Hughes and Joyce Jella. Three of these staffers – Bledsoe, Movitz and Knapp – still work at the station.
During membership drives, on-air staff work to raise money for the station and build the station’s membership – and they have fun doing it, as Wayne Bledsoe (at the microphone) and Lee Buhr demonstrate.

Solar House project manager Emily Vandivert participated in the making of S&T’s video for the 2013 Climate Leadership Awards.
Missouri S&T’s Solar Village is one of the most innovative energy-saving programs on any college campus. That complex of four solar-powered homes — combined with S&T’s geothermal energy initiative — is the reason Missouri S&T is one of five Ph.D.-granting universities nominated for the 2013 Climate Leadership Awards.

Watch the video:
“The best part is seeing these big guys who don’t think they’ll get scared come running full-speed out of the mine,” says Barbara Robertson with a smile.
