Williams presented the doc- jment. “The Colonel” hangs up his baton after 27 years iirecting the band. Lt. Col. E. V. Adams received his A&M retirement certificate Wednesday. It was presented to the Texas Aggie Band director in cere monies at the building which will bear his name. Col. Adams retires Friday, ending 27 years work that made him the dean of Southwest Con ference bandmasters. Adams’ wife Belle, his daugh- ter-in-law and grandson attended the event in the Aggie Band Hall, to be named the E. V. Adams Band Hall in Sept. 15 ceremonies. President Jack K. Williams pre sented Adams the certificate. “Vergne Adams is a staunch pillar of this institution,” Dean of Students James P. Hannigan told more than 30 friends. “We wonder how Texas A&M will get along without him, but know it will go on after we leave,” the dean said, referring to his own retirement this month. A&M’s Dean of Admissions and Records, Edwin H. Cooper, de scribed his feelings for the vet eran bandman for whom he played trombone in 1949-53. “We all meet men we greatly admire, and would have in our family if the choice were ours,” Cooper said. “Col. Adams would be my second father.” Maj. Joe T. Haney, who suc ceeds Adams, said his job will be simply to maintain what the re tiring director has accomplished. He said there will be no major changes in the Aggie Band. “If I thought I had influenced one person for the better, I would feel g r e a t,” responded “the Colonel,” as he is known to band- men. “It’s been great working with the men in the band. And make no mistake, they are the ones who make the Aggie Band.” Col. Adams cited the “very fine relationship” he had with the dean of students office and other campus organizations and offices. “It’s real nice of all you folks to take the time to come over for this,” he added. “I know you Housing Office folks don’t have the extra time right now. You’re all great, and we appreciate it.” THE BATTALION Wednesday, August 29, 1973 College Station, Texas Page 7 “a collegiate stop” THE COLLEGE STATION (formerly East Gate Lounge) Serving beer and wine WATCH FOR GRAND OPENING 109 Walton Drive 846-8819 Four Craft Courses Offered Craft courses are offered this all at A&M for all interested rersons.
