Gunning Retires<br />
"He sympathized with students and their problems,<br />
he worked well with them and he was willing<br />
to get involved with their activities. He was, and is,<br />
their friend."<br />
The students' friend is Richard J. "Joe" Gunning<br />
who retired as dean <strong>of</strong> men at La Crosse State<br />
<strong>University</strong> July 1. The remark attributed to Maurice<br />
Graff, vice president for academic affairs, was one<br />
<strong>of</strong> many made by friends and co-workers at a reception<br />
held June 24 in his honor.<br />
Gunning came to La Crosse in 1947 after 20 years<br />
as teacher, coach, principal and superintendent in<br />
Wisconsin public schools. He succeeded Clyde Smith<br />
as dean <strong>of</strong> men.<br />
While at La Crosse, Gunning was involved in the<br />
planning and building <strong>of</strong> residence halls. He helped<br />
organize Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternity he<br />
advises. He was a member <strong>of</strong> the student union<br />
building committee and co-founder <strong>of</strong> the State<br />
College Student Welfare Association <strong>of</strong> La Crosse,<br />
which provides short-term, interest-free loans to<br />
students.<br />
Born in Friendship and graduated from Adams<br />
Friendship High School, Gunning attended Stevens<br />
Point State Teachers College and earned a master's<br />
degree at the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Wisconsin in 1943.<br />
The local chapter <strong>of</strong> Phi Delta Kappa, pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />
fraternity for men in education, recently honored<br />
Dean Gunning for his service as executive secretary<br />
since the chapter was chartered in 1959. He has also<br />
served on the state legislative committee for the<br />
Association <strong>of</strong> Wisconsin State <strong>University</strong> Faculties.<br />
Gunning and his wife plan to spend more time<br />
at their cottage in St. Germain not far from his<br />
favorite musky fishing spots. They have a son in<br />
California.<br />
