f998 ROCA Award of Merit recipient, Ian Young, with ROCA President, Dr David Cooper

Ian Young

(RDA

1960) has dedicated his

life

to the teaching

of

agriculture to young people. As Head of the

Agricultural

Studies course at Westminster School in

Adelaide

since 1972, he has proved himself to be the

Agricultural

teacher of the 206 Century. His leadership and teaching style has enabled students to cope

with

the continual series of changes they currently encounter and provided them

with

the confidence to face the inevitable challenges of the

21"

Century.

He has an all-consuming passion to help others to both realise and develop their potential interest

in

food production and the Australian environment. Ian is able to assess young people and encourage them

by

example. He uses both lateral

thinking

and objective rational tho'ught processes

to

lead his students through the process ofresponsible actions.

ROCA Centenary Medal recipient, Harry Stephen, with ROCA President, Dr David Cooper

The

^"ROCA Centenary

Medal"

was a once-off award, conferred

only in

1998, the Centenary Year

of

the Association.

It

recognised a person

who

had made a major long term contribution to the Roseworthy Old Collegians Association

In the Centenary Year of

ROCA, it

was an honour for the Association to recognise the efforts of a man who had helped to shape the destiny

of

the Association

for half of its

100 year history.

Harry

Stephen has been an active member of the ROCA Committee

for

a continuous period

of 5l

years.

Following

graduation

from

Roseworthy

Agricultural

College

with

a

Diploma

in

Agriculture in

1948,

Harry

Stephen became a committee member of ROCA

n

^{1949 as the} first-ever Treasurer of the Association. (Previously the position was a combined Secretary/Treasurer).

During

the subsequent 50 year period,

Harry

Stephen has served

ROCA

Roseworthy

Agricultural

College itself. Upon graduation, he was employed as a sheep cadet at the College,

the latter part of his

working life, Harry

Stephen maintained close links

with

with

the S.A. Deparunent of

Agriculture.

While it

is impossible to detail the enormous amount

of effort

put into ROCA

it

is noteworthy that in the 100 years

of

ROCA history,

Harry

Stephen is the

only

person to have ever offered this amount

of

service to the Association.

He worked extremely actively during some of the most important periods of the Association's history,

" including

fund raising and erection of the Soldiers'

Memorial

Chapel at the College.

Stephen is an extremely

worthy

recipient

of the

^"ROCA Centenary

Medal".

$2.9M INVESTMENT IN ROSEWORTHY CAMPUS

The South Australian Government and

The

University

of

Adelaide have joined

forces in a $2.9

^million

investment in Roseworthy Campus.

Under the plan, the Roseworthy Campus will become an industry-focused education, research and development centre for key areas such as aniinal production, dryland agriculture and environmental management.

New building

work will

enable

the

University

of

Adelaide

to

relocate much

of its

Department

of

^Animal

Science, along

with

Livestock Systems

staff

from

the

South Australian Research and Development Institute {sARDr}.

A

commitment

of

91.9 million has been made by The University

of

Adelaide

to the

project,

with

the South Australian Government commifting a further $1 million.

It

is intended that the new centre

will

link the research and educational capabilities

of the

University into the Government's research centres in regional areas

to

form an integrated unit focused on sustainable livestock production.

In an effon

to

compliment the new directions in research and development, negotiations are also underway with TAFE to provide joint diploma courses at Roseworthy Campus.

According to the Vice-Chancellor of the University. Professor Mary O'Kane, the integration of University, Government and industry partners at Roseworthy Campus provides a unique capability to consolidate and strengthen the delivery of research, education and training that meets the requirements of the rural industries.

The new partnership at Roseworthy Campus follows the successful co-location of the University, industry and Government agencies at the University's Waite Campus. Focus at that site is plant research, soil science and wine.

NEWS FROM BRIAN

JEFFERIES

Brian Jefferies attended Roseworthy Agricultural College during the late 1940's and has been intimately involved in the wool sheep industry since then. In coming issues of the ROCA Digest, we will be treated to some Brian's memories of his time at Roseworthy. Unfortunately the limitation of space

will

not permit us to commence his story in this issue.

He is currently working as a sheep breeding consultant in South Australia and Western Australia. Brian is also working on

two

projects in Argentina (including the new Corino breed) and a meat sheep cross breeding project in the high rainfall areas of Southern Chile utilising Corriedale and Finnish Landrace sheep.

RIVERLAI\D & MURRAYLANDS REGIONAL CENTENARY DINNER

To celebrate the Centenary of the Roseworthy Old Collegians Association, 38 ROCA members and their partners enjoyed a Regional Dinner at the

Loxton

Hotel during August last year.

It

was extremely pleasing that the

majority

of members who attended the

Dinner

had graduated

from

Roseworthy

within

the past ten years.

Guest speaker

for

the evening was

Mr

Peter Turley

(RDA

1975,

RDO 1977).

Peter is a

fourth

generation member of the famous

McWilliams

wine

family

and established his own

winery

at Heathcote near Bendigo

in

1985.

He has since

diversified into

gourmet food production as a way to combat

difficult

wine sales. This move proved to be

extemely

successful and today his gourmet food range, marketed under the Dalhousie Fine Food label, includes mustards, jams _and liqueur

fruit

desserts. The gourmet

food

enterprise now provides over 95 percent of the business income,

with

markets throughout Australia and many parts of Asia.

During the evening, Gavin

McEwin (RDA

1937) made a presentation of his

books,

"The

Doc"

^and

"The

birth ofnotionalvalues",for

use

in

local libraries.

LETTERS FROM MEMBERS

s.A.

5253 Dear R.O.C.A. members,

I was ^pleased to aftend the R.O.C.A. centenary Weekend at the College in October last year. I was also celebrating

fifty

years since graduating from Roseworthy Agricultural College and becoming a life member of the Association.

I appreciated being presented with _the ROCA Centenary Medal for services to the Association. Thank you to those who have continued to elect me onto the Committee. I have gained much from my association with the ROCA Committee.

On the reunion weekend, we did not see many recent graduates and could not fill committee positions allocated to them. We would welcome volunteers.

Perhaps many of our members only see R.O.C.A. as a social group and this is imponant, but the Committee spends much of its time lobbying the Government, making submissions to the University administration and other organisations on matters affecting the Roseworthy campus and its graduates.

We need the support and views of our members to give these submissions credence. Please continue, or become an active member of R.O.C.A. and at the very least, you will enlarge your number of contacts in many fields of endeavour.

5603 Dear ROCA,

It is with a great deal of pride I received the Old Collegians Cup and Prize presented by the Roseworthy old Collegians Association for the second best aggregate score over the three year course. I am not sure pride is the right word, more likely stunned!

The $60 cheque was a lovely bonus as it paid for my wife and eldest son to attend my graduation dinner. This was significant for me as I had been strongly motivated to complete the..three year degree in two years. My wife and younger child had remained on our Eyre Peninsula farm while I was away at University. yes, _{I even} stayed on campus the last semester in the dormitory block!! Being 48 years of age

with

noyear 12

background, the first year was pretty torrid. My eldest son was my tutor as he finished his final university studies! | loved the learning experience and friendliness of the Campus.

I cannot speak highly enough of the Bachelor of Agriculture course I did; the quality of the lecturers and the freshness of the information given was both stimulating and challenging. I believe Aoseworthy is positioned to have well prepared graduates released into the workforce or research areas.

Yes, I have joined the Roseworthy old Collegians Association and hope to promote the virtues of Roseworthy.
