Vandiver foresees great role for Texas in space program Saturday, December 2nd Serving Lunch From 11:00-2:30 Serving Dinner From 5:00-10:30 Beat t.u.

Vandiver — the “father” of the Space Grant, said. Speaking at the charter planning meeting of the Texas Space Grant Consortium, Vandiver recalled Tuesday night how he became dis couraged at the slow development of the national Space Grant Program in its early days. But now, Vandiver — who origi nated the concept while serving as Texas A&M’s president — said he’s glad to celebrate a “Texas gift to the nation.” “Through this bipartisan act of Congress, the United States is going to continue leading the world in space,” Vandiver said. “New generations of young peo ple will fill the shoes of the space pi oneers, thanks to scholarships and fellowships under the Space Grant Program,” Vandiver said. “New funds will flow to the institutions in the Texas consortium.” The consortium, a collaborative effort under the leadership of Texas A&M and the University of Texas at Austin and with membership by 19 other universities, three state agen cies and 18 aerospace or research or- g anizations, began planning sessions ere Tuesday and continues through Wednesday. Vandiver recalled how early reac tions among other university presi dents to his proposed Space Grant Program was mixed and how NASA was reluctant to support a program it saw as diverting money from exist ing programs. Texas’ Congressional delegation gave the needed encouragement, ex- E lained Vandiver, and Texas A&M :aders helped convince Washington policymakers that Space Grant was needed, Vandiver said.
