Admissions gelpo
replacement foe
retiring directoiL

By Mark Gee
Staff Writer
Retiring Executive Director of
Admissions and Records Robert La
cey says his replacement, Gary R.
Engelgau, has the experience and
education needed to implement the
Texas A&M Board of Regents’ plan
to limit enrollment at A&M.
Engelgau currently is director of
admissions and records at the Uni
versity of Illinois at Urbana-Chainp-
aign. He will assume the A&M posi
tion May 1.
“Enrollment management is his
strength and that is the big challenge
at A&M,” Lacey, a member of the se
lection committee, said. Lacey is re
tiring after 23 years in Texas A&M’s
Office of Admissions and Records.
The Board decided in 1987 to cap
freshman enrollments in Fall 1988 at
6,600 as part of a plan to limit the
enrollment at A&M to 41,000 by
1993.
“Texas A&M is clearly moving
into the situation where there are
many more qualified applicants than
can be admitted,” Engelgau says. “I
am from an area where that has
been true for many years.”
Engelgau has been a part of the
37,000-student Illinois university
since 1967. He has served as the di
rector for seven years.
“So how do you make the decision
among fully qualified applicants?”
he asks. “It is a matter of trying to re
flect the many goals and objectives
of the University. You are trying to
pick up on the feelings of the Board
of Regents, faculty, former students,
students and a little bit of everyone.”
Engelgau received his master’s de
gree in guidance and counseling
From the University of Michigan in
1964 while working full time in
Michigan’s registrar’s office. He also
earned a psychology undergradute
degree five years earlier ^tii

the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and

“My sergeant said he would like
me to try out for the award,” Baxter
said. “So I decided to give it a shot.
“I was chosen to represent my
unit in Houston based on an essay I
submitted to a board that selected
soldiers for the competition.”
After winning various competi
tions for his unit across the state,
Baxter said he was interviewed by
the board and won the title of
“Texas Soldier of the Year” in Feb
ruary.
“The board looks at younf I

Suspect surrenders
after church shootir
FORT WORTH (AP) — A Fort
Worth man suspected of firing a gun
into a crowd outside of a church and
injuring two people surrendered to
police Monday, authorities said.
Ollie Thomas, 74, faces two
charges of attempted murder in the
Sunday shooting of a teen-age girl
and her aunt, Fort Worth police
spokesman Doug Clarke said.
Thomas was held on bonds totaling
$30,000.
“His attorney was with him and he
(Thomas) didn’t say anything,”
Clark said. “He just surrendered.
Obviously, the detectives are going
to try and talk to him, but whether
or not they can, we intend to con
tinue our investigation and present
the evidence to prosecutors.”
Thomas is accused of opening fire
on the small group of church-goers
unloading from a church van after
demanding the return of his adop
tive daughter, who was not at the
church.
