VEC His Loss, Qur Gain Speculation About The Presidential Library and Professorship Por Carter Once again Emory may benefit from former president Jimmy Carter's failure to be re-elected. After Carter left office last January, several of his former staff members appeared on campus. Jody Powell and Walter Mondale spoke to ca- pacity crowds while Hamilton Jordan spent the entire year on campus as a spe- cial lecturer. Now Emory has formally expressed an interest in acquiring the jimmy Carter Presidential Library, and there are rumors that Carter may accept a teaching position. Emory is interested in working with the library in academic and research pur- poses, possibly by establishing a center for public policy studies, according to President james T. Laney. Carter was on campus November 20 for a tour of the newly opened Cannon Chapel, and the establishment of the library was pre- sumably discussed at that time. Plans to locate the library in the Great Park were announced late last November by former U.S. Attorney General Griffin Bell. The original plans proposed a road- way linking Emory, Fernbank Science Center, and the library, but this proposal has met opposition from neighborhood groups. In a letter to the University Sen- ate, Laney said, The university has not taken a stand on the matter of roads, but many faculty members have signed petitions opposing the roadway. I.aney's letter also stressed that he does not want Emory to be used by any party to push any particular plan. At press time, the matter had not been settled. In january, the Associated Press, Unit- ed Press International, and U.S. News and World Report said that Carter is in- terested in teaching at a Georgia school and that school would probably be Emory. Laney said, however, that the re- ports were totally speculative, and that there are no current plans for Carter to lecture at Emory. - Beth Wallace .J WWW!
