138 Academics When Dr. Claude Babin an- nounced his resignation at a-June 25, 1976 meeting, the search began for a new chancellor. The search ended with the appointment of Dr. Fred Taylor who assumed the chan- cellorship on January 1, 1977. He had previously served the Uni- versity of Arkansas System as Ex- ecutive Assistant to the President and Associate Vice-President for Ad- ministration. At the time of his ap- pointment, University President Dr. Charles Bishop described Dr. Taylor as ‘‘An exceptionally able adminis- trator.”’ Soon after his appointment, Dr. Taylor stated that his main objective would be to focus upon projects which UAM could handle with its limited resources. He has done just that in the first two years of his ad- ministration, along with repeated appeals for more appropriations for the UAM campus. As chancellor, he has made a major achievement in securing a five million dollar appro- priation from the state for a much- needed student center.
