Dr. Chris H. Groneman, In
dustrial Education Department
head and Athletic Council chair
man at Texas A&M, announced
his resignation Monday.
The resignation becomes effec
tive August 31.
Dr. Groneman said he has
accepted a position as professor
and coordinator of industrial
education in the technical and
vocational education department
at the University of Hawaii in
Honolulu.
“I REGRET leaving Texas
A&M, but the greatly reduced
teaching load at Hawaii will give
me much more time to write
books,” Groneman commented. “I
am a consulting editor to McGraw
Hill Book Company for a series
in industrial education. And I
am an author or co-author of
four of their titles. Also, I am
the author or co-author of ten
titles with other book firms.”
A&M PRESIDENT Earl Rud
der lauded Groneman for his con
tributions in both the academic
and athletic areas.
“Dr. Groneman has made great
contributions in an academic way
and heads one of the finest de
partments of industrial educa
tion in the nation,” he pointed
out. “In addition, he represented
Texas A&M in a splendid man
ner in athletics.”
Groneman has been head of
the Industrial Education Depart
ment since 1948. He was named
acting head of Industrial Educa
tion Department in 1942.
DR. GRONEMAN has been
A&M’s Athletic Council chairman
since 1954 when Paul (Bear)
Bryant took over as athletic di
rector and head football coach.
“I enjoyed my assignment on
the council, the opportunity of
serving with the very fine people
of our staff,” he continued. “And
the relationship with thee South
west Conference was most enjoy
able.”
GRONEMAN was vice presi
dent of the National Collegiate
Athletic Association from 1963 to
1967, and president of the South
west Conference from 1963 to
1965.
“My regrets about leaving the
Athletic Council concerns the fine
association with other members,
the administration, particularly
President Rudder, and the fine
general attitude displayed by
coaches of the different sports
and Athletic Director Bones
Irvin,” he said.
Book Plan Backed
By Student Group
Texas A&M’s Student Senate
is underwriting a project to send
books to Aggies serving in Viet
nam.
Donald G. Rapp of Galveston,
project chairman, said several
packages of books will be mailed
Thursday and should be in the
hands of the troops within a week.
The project is the result of re
quests from front-line Aggies for
reading material to pass away
the time during lulls in the fight
ing.
Rapp, a senior architectural
student and member of A&M’s
Corps of Cadets, said he hopes
to include 200 books in the Thurs
day mailing .

More than 2,000 students turned
out at the polls last Thursday to

chairman, said that the Corps of
Cadets cast 1,043 votes, civilians
cast 978 for the total of 2,021.
He went on to say the Corps voted
against the fraternity issue, the
civilians were split and the vet
school was against it.

dency with 999 votes, crushing
Francis Bourgeois by 330 bal
lots. Ernest J. Pena ran third
with 217 votes.
In the presidential race for the

ed up the largest amount of votes
of anybody in the election with
his 1,412, running unopposed for
the parliamentarian position.
The recording secretary office
went to Robert Edward Moreau
with 682 votes. Mark Fairchild
was runner-up with 456 and Lar
ry Bowles tallied 312.

an impressive win for the chair
manship of the Issues Committee.
He had 796 votes to 524 for Jack

garnered 346.
DON McLEROY scored the
most lopsided win of the day in
the race for Student Life Com
mittee chairman. McLeroy had
930 votes while John Parr had
437 and Donald Swofford had 326.
The new Public Relations Com
mittee chairman is Reese Brown.
He defeated Dewey Helmcamp
III, 882-730.
Welfare Committee chairman
went to John H. Daly, who de
feated James A. Mobley in the
closest race of the day, 798-738.
IN OTHER Civilian Student

line defeated Wayne Gosnell for
the vice presidency. Waline gar
nered 462 to Gosnell’s 233 write
in votes.
George L. DuPont won the of
fice of secretary-treasurer of the
Council by getting 25 write-in
votes. No one filed for the office.
Myers commended Gosnell “on
his fine effort as a write in can
didate.” He went on to say he
loped “this defeat would not keep
him from keeping up his excellent
work.”
MYERS ALSO announced that
filing for the Student Senate col
lege representatives election will
close this Friday. Students can
file in their respective colleges at
the Memorial Student Center’s
Student Programs Office. The
election will be May 16.
The election results were de
layed because of a mix up in vot
ing at the Veterinary Medicine
School. Myers said that there
was no apparent reason for the
mix up, but the vets did not vote
until Friday morning. This de
layed the publication of the re
sults until late Friday.
