S recreation committee for SSCC, says
1 “the trip was very successful and most
1 students I have talked to enjoyed them-

H who went on the trip was about the long
§ bus ride. He added, “In the future we
1 will try to solve this problem by booking
a fly trip at a reasonable cost.”

LU Regents
honor men,
name buildings
Lamar University Board of Regents
recently honored three men with long
ties to the university by naming cam-
pus facilities after them.
The administration building will
carry the name of Otho Plummer, the
new College of Business building has
been named after H. C. Galloway, Jr.,
and the auditorium in the new Business
Building has been named in honor of
Dr. J.D. Landes.
Galloway served as the university’s
first vice president for finance. He
came to Lamar College in 1946 as
assistant business manager. Galloway
died October 18,1975.
Dr. Landes, retired dean of the School
of Business, came to Lamar in 1946 and
continued in that position until 1961.
Plummer’s connections with the
university go much deeper than his
present capacity as chairman of the
regents. He graduated from the school
when it was a junior college, and was a
basketball star. In 1932 Plummer sub-
mitted the name of Mirabeau B. Lamar
in the contest to find a new name for
South Park Junior College.
Regents read into the minutes a
memorial to Galloway which said in
part, “...He devoted his entire life to the
growth and development of Lamar
University and to quality education in
Texas, and his dedication and leader-
ship are evident on the Lamar campus
where his spirit and achievements will
always be an important and vital part
of the institution.”
Dr. Landes holds memberships in
numerous professional and honorary
societies and has also been active in
community affairs.
