op Dawg Excitement surrounds presidential inauguration • Susan Labbig • and Patti McCabe On a sunny October 18, l ' S Go ernor Joe Frank H.u 1 1--, along with representa- ti eb Irom about 125 universi- ties, including Harvard, Geor- gia Tech, Johns Hopkins University, Vanderbilt, and the University of Florida, joined us in celebrating the inauguration of our twentieth president, Charles Boynton Knapp. Knapp ' s inaugural ceremo- ny was elaborate with a long procession of pr ofessors who wore traditional robes and mortarboards of academia. Two students within each school or college and repre- sentatives from other institu- tions joined in the procession that went from the Law School to the inaugural site in the Candler Hall parking lot. To make sure everything !dn smoothly, a 49-member i-ommission, including four students, was called together to organize the inaugural cer- emony and the week of activi- ties that led up to the inaugu- ration, said Fran Lane, inauguration coordinator and University coordinator of aca- demic advisement and stu- dent services. HAPPY DAYS — Alter the ceremo ny, professors from ttie University and trom across the notion gather to congratulate our 20th presi- dent. Dr. Knapp. Inaugural Week activities began on October 12 when Dr. Knapp addressed a large crowd of students and faculty in the small, overcapacitated Chapel, upholding the tradi- tion that a new president de- livers a speech at the begin- ning of his tenure. In his speech, Knapp em- phasized the need for in- creased funding to help the University become one of the leading research institutions in the nation. Knapp said he hopes to be the president who moves our school into the ranks of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious academic organi- zation. The University is well- qualified to be a member, Knapp said in a later inter- view with the Red and Black. It would put us in a group that has a lot of prestige in research, he said. It would be a benefit to the University and I ' d like to see the Univer- sity get it. In addition to Knapp ' s speech, there were other pre- inaugural events including an ice cream social at the Tate Plaza, a picnic at Legion Field, and a concert by the School of Music, which included John Couna ' s inaugural anthem written especially for Charles Knapp. Everyone had a great time, said Lee-Ann Bunnell, sophomore, majoring in In- ternational Studies. We all went down to Le- gion Field for dinner, and I got to meet Dr. Knapp and his wife while we were waiting in line, she said, They were both really nice.
