WWW? 30 Emily Miller, Public Service Hand-in-Hand Emily Miller. director of public service in the School of Business Finds her job challenging because of the diversity and there never being a dull moment. Miller. originally from Sparta. Tennu began her career in the higher education arena in l972 as a secretary in the Con- sumer Education Department of the University Of Tennessee at Nashville. She moved up to administrative secretary to the vice ehaneeilor for academic affairs before leaving in 1974 to take a job with Maremont Corporation. At Maremont she worked up 10 the position ofassistant plant controller. In 1976. Miller returned 10 UTN as ad- ministrative assistant to the vice chancellor for academic affairs. Later. she accepted a position in the area of Institu- tional Research. uI found this position interesting because we did ali the University statistics reports on students. faculty and staff. for UT Knoxville and governmental agencies such as Health. Education and Weifare and Tennessee Higher Education Commis- sion. said Miller. I stayed in that Office until the merger and later assumed my pre- sent position in I980. As director of public service for the School of Business. Miiler basically works with the continuing education program iwhieh includes conferences and nun; eredit coursesi. For the past year. she has also worked with promoting credit pro- grams within the school. til enjoy working with the business comw munity, she said. I have an opportunity to be involved in setting up programs and seeing what Nashville and the total comb munityis needs are. When asked what she was most proud of within her position, Milier stated that the Management Development Institute, held in conjunction with various Nashville businesses originated with her. hits a series of seminars the School of Business conducts each year that is eospmisored by a corporation. Miller ex- plained. This program is now in its fourth year and we average approximately 400 people each year. Miller holds a bachelors degree from Tennessee Tech in business administration and a masters degree in business ad- ministration From the University of Ten- nessee at Nashville. Looking ahead 10 the future of TSlL Miller said I think TSU has an unlimited potential in the Nashville area and it will be up to us what we make niiit. There is a tremendous need for a comprehensive. state-supported educational instituti in Nashville.

Nye is particularly pleased with her involvement with BYTE because the program originated at TSU. uThe BYTE program was created at TSU to respond to public education needs through business partnerships, Nye said. uI have worked with the program since it began in 1982? Since 1982 the program has been duplicated by several other universities across the country. The BYTE Consortium or Business, Youngsters, Technology and Education Consortium is designed to meet pre-service and in-service staff training needs of Head Start agencies in Tennessee as well as training needs for a selected number ofprivateiy funded child care centers. More than 6,50010wincome children aged 310 5 benefit from the training provided through BYTE. uDuring my career I have been responsible for several projects to improve the education ofiow income children and parent education, Nye said. ttThe BYTE project has given me an opportunity to continue that service? Some projects have brought Nye national recognition. For example, in 1984 Nye received the ttPrivate Sector Initiative Award'i in Washington, DC. It was presented to her by the Secretary of Human Services. The award was for leadership in a statewide project involving Bell South with disadvantaged pre-schoolers. Nye and her staff at TSU managed 70,000 volunteer hours for the project, The BYTE Consortium is a public service entity of TSU and is funded by donations. Currently these funds are being used to support 20 pre- school programs statewide, nine elementary schools in Middle and West Tennessee and two research projects. . uI feel that we have been espeCIalIy successful in assisting elementary schools, because the states' focus was on middle and high schools,n Nye said. Plus we have involved at least 10 Tennessee businesses or foundations in our project? Nye is assisted by a capable and dedicated staff that consists ofMary Fairless, assistant public service coordinator, Barbara West, director Ofcompetcney based instruction, and Norma Dickson and Jane Young, social service coordinators. At home her support personnel includes husband Ken, ta former TSU employeet and children Michael, 13; Christopher, 10; Kendra, 6; and Kelly, 4. Nyeis workload is not getting any lighter. In addition to being the president ofthe Tennessee Association onoung Children, an organization consisting of 4,000 child care provider members, she has been asked to write a curriculum for the Apple Education Foundation in reading, math and science. l! Tireless and demanding best describe Charlotte Rhodes, director of University Choirs. Rhodes, who also teaches music appreciation and piano, works seven days a week with about 60 students that comprise the TSU University Choir and the Meistersingers. We usually practice three to four hours a day through the week and on Saturday and Sunday about two hours each dayf' Rhodes said. llBut before a concert it is not unusual for us to practice more, she added. A graduate of TSU and a employee in the Music Department for 25 years, Rhodes originally planned another career. tTve always liked music, but I wanted to paint or be an artist. However, my mother wanted me in music, she said. Now as close as I get to painting is house decorating, something I love to do. Rhodes said. With a smile she quickly added. IIBut I do not like to ' ironfi iiAt one time I thought I would be a concert pianist. Can you imagine me, a concert pianist? she said. Rhodes grew up in Paris. Kentucky. After acquiring her 8.8. degree from Tennessee State University she attended the College Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Ohio, where she earned a masteris degree. She taught for six years at Carver Smith High School in Columbia, TN. til realized at Carver that I loved teaching and I still do today? Rhodes said. uI was fortunate enough to go into a good situation there. The choir was already established with about 45 students. But I wasnit satisfied with that, I went to football and basketball practice to recruit choir members, those students brought their friends and soon the choir grew in size to about 150. tiWe went into festivals and always got superior plus ratings? she added. One of her fondest memories from Columbia involves the late Gov. Buford Ellington and the late TSU president Dr. Walter S. Davis. uWe performed once at a concert attended by the Governor and Dr. Davis, both men stood and gave us a standing Ovation before we finished and I was so proud of my students? Rhodes said. Rhodes was later offered a job at TSU to direct the choir. She brought her genius for recruiting and molding talent with her. Many of her students are 1101 music majors and have never had voice training. Welve never turned anyone awayfi Rhodes said. Occasionally weill get a student with raw talent and I will suggest voice classes ifI see some potential. As a matter offact, there are only about six music majors in both the University Choir and the Meistersingers. The TSU Meistersingers are in constant demand throughout the year. In 1983. the group took second place in a spiritual singing competition that featured some of the best collegiate choirs from across Charlotte Rhodes, Tireless Choir Director the country. Although the group does not have a travel budget, they participate in about 10 out-of-town concerts during an academic year. uWe usually have a sponsor, someone who wants us bad enough to pay all expenses, Rhodes said. In February, with the aid ofa sponsor. the Meistersingers participated in a choral festival that listed as participants among others, Tennessee Tech, Belmont, UT Knoxville, Carson Newman and others. ul'rn very proud of my students, Rhodes said. llWith having to go to classes and extra practices, 1 think they perform above and beyond the call ofduty. Story and Photo By John S. Cross Williams and Honors Program Winning Combination Story and Photo Courtesy J ohn S. Cross Public Relations . .-,.-, a-au-n-h A number of highly successful Tennessee State University alumni contribute their success to two positive forces at TSU. One, their association with the TSU Honors Program and, two Dr. McDonald Williams, director ofthe Honors Program and professor of English. Since 1964, Williams has guided high achieving students through TSU with a firm hand,p1acing emphasis on excellence and achievement. The number of students who have studied in the Honors Program, and gone on the success, is too numerous to list. Williams says he has no favorites, they are all special to him. uI get great satisfaction from seeing students achieve at TSU and from watching them go on to higher achievements in their professions, Williams said. Before coming to TSU, Williams' teaching appointments included positions at Wilberforce University, Atlanta University, Tuskegee Institute and head of the English Dept. at Morris Brown University. He holds a BS. and M.S. Degree from the University of Pittsburgh and a PhD. from Ohio State University. He has been a member of the TSU faculty since 1958. Williams is involved with various civic projects, including committee secretary for the Tennessee Voter Council, member of the Executive Committee Nashville Branch ofthe NAACP and the Executive Committee, Nashville Chapter ofthe American Red Cross. He is also past president of the Northwest Nashville Civitan Club, a member ofthe St. John A.M.E. Church, and associate editor ofthe AME Review. With all ofthis community and professional involvement, Williams has kept the Hortors Program near the top of his priority list. He spends a great deal of time seeking ways to improve the program and getting new students to enroll, tiStudents are admitted to the program on the basis oftheir ACT score and high schooi GPA, Williams explained. uWE expect eur students to maintain a 3.0 GPA t0 remam a member in good standing. However, we don't expel students who have had a bad semester and get a lower average- We do expect and encourage them to raise it as soon as possible? The true success OFthe Honors Program can be measured by the quality ofits produet-productive American eitzens HOne great pleasure is that our students keep in touch. Williams said, hand I like to hear how they are doing with their careers. One student that came to mind was William Chotaw. Williams explained that while attending TSU, Chotaw was a member of the Honors Program and served as president of the Student Government. wVit'illiam gives our program credit for providing him with the academic preparation and the self-eonfidenee needed to graduate from Yale Medical School and go on to become a successful bum specialistf' added Williams. Chotaw has named the TSU Honors Program as a beneficiary in his will. B. A. Harris, another former student, udemonstrated his gratefulness for the Honors Program with a $2,000 donation that was matched 3-to-l by his employer, the Exxon Company. Williams said. Eariine Thomas, another former student employed by the Purina Company, was uinstrumental in obtaining a $20,000 van for TSU recruiters, he said. Thomas is a lawyer. hi can give examples all day, said an obviously proud Williams. When students make these kind of contributions to the institution, we know weive made a positive impression on them and, more importantly. assisted in developing positive citizens, he concluded. Kahlen Brings Special Blend For 20 years Dr. Prem S. Kahlon has served Tennessee State University with a special blend of instruction and research that has enhanced the University's image in the scientific community and benefited TSU students immensely. Kahlon, by his own admission, is first a teacher and then a scientist. 'tMy first 10ve is teaching, Kahlon said. nl get great satisfaction when one of my students succeeds in life. A large number of Kahlonts students have gone on to provide him with great satisfaction. Among them are Dr. Handy Williamson and Dr. William Mills. Williamson, a former director 0fthe CARP program at TSU, is currently acting director of USAID. Mills, a student Kahlon taught at Alcorn College, is now an advisor to President Reagan on Environmentai issues. Kahlon proudly announced three ofhis more recent students are currently working on Ph.DE. TSU is becoming better known in the scientific community, but our success will depend on how our students succeed in life and represent the University,H he added. Originally from India, Kahlon received his B.S. from Punjab University. Later he moved to the United States where he earned M.S. and PhD. degrees from Louisiana State University. After a short tenure at Aleom College in Mississippi, Kahlon moved to TSU in 1966 as an associate professor of Biology and Started a 20 year career of teaching and research. Undoubtedly, Kahlon has given satisfaction to a number of his former instructors, since he has consistently trained students for careers in science and garnered numerous accolades for his research work with plant tissue culture. Presently, Kahlon is a professor ofbiology, a principal investigator for CARP, and director ofthe MARC program. The MARC program allows minority honor students to become involved in research projects and special undergraduate courses that enhance their credentials toward entrance into graduate programs leading to doctoral degrees in biomedical sciences. In addition to holding these three positions at TSU, for the past six years Kahlon has served as chairman of the Research Committee for the Tennessee Academy ofScienee. He has been a member ofthe University Research Advisory Committee for 13 years and Chairman 0fthat committee for five years. Kahlon has received in excess of $2.5 million dollars in federal funds over a five year period to fund research at TSU. In the last 1 1 years, Kahlon has published nine papers and 51 abstracts. Kahlon has been included in several publications such as American Men of Science and Notable Americans ofthe Bicentennial Era. In spite ofKahlonis own personal accomplishments, his main goal is to have the name ofTSU well-known and respected in the world of scientific research. Considering the constraints, many at TSU have made great contributions to research while competing with larger institutions with better faeilitiesf he said. Story and Photo Courtesy J ohn S. Cross Public Relations I46 Bobby Lovett Historian, Administrator Story and Photo Courtesy John S Cross Public Relations Bobby Lovett, TSU, Nashville, and Tennessee owe a lot to Eureka College. It was there, a small liberal arts college in southern Illinois, that Lovett says he tine-tuned many of'the administrative skills that are being applied at TSU. Eureka College, President Ronald Reaganis Alma Mater, was also the scene of Lovett's first experiences with teaching and exploring Black American history. Lovett, who holds degrees from Arkansas A, M8tN College, and University of Arkansas, was the first black faculty member at Eureka. During his tenure there1 the schools enrollment was about 560 with black students comprising 14 percent ofthe enrollment. Having turned down the job once, Lovett reconsidered and accepted thejob when he realized he ucouldn't support a family on the saIary he earned teaching history at White Station High School in East Memphis. tel took the Eurekajob with the understanding that there would be numerous job responsibilities? Lovett said. Lovett was instructor, director of an international lecture series, director ofthe Upward Bound program, adviser to the Black Students Association. adviser to two Greek fraternities, and he trained all practice teachers for teaching social studies. 1 credit Eureka with developing my management and administrative skills? Lovett said. Slt was there that I really developed into an administrator. Although Lovett is now considered by some as one ofthe foremost authorities on black history, his Interest in the subject was not developed until he reached Eureka. SOne of my assign ments at Eureka was to teach a black history course, Lovett remembered. SFrom there I moved to TSU and I was asked by Dr. tAlonzot Stephens to teach black history?1 Lovett was originally trained in colonial American history and 19th century American history. He also had aspiration for further study in western American history or urban American history. However. shortly after moving to Nashville, his ptans changed. HWhen l arri ved in Nashville, I found that there was little or no work going on concerning blacks in local history, he continued. SI became involved out ot'the need for a trained historian to focus his attention on blacks in Tennessee. Lovett wrote his dissertation on black history, Blacks in Tennessee During the Civil War. He- completed the dissertation 1n 1978. Lovett has garnered respect frosn students, eo-workers. other htstortans and other citizens of Nashville. who have enjoyed his presentations about black history on both television and radio. ttTo be a good historian, ohe tnust set emotions aside and be ObJCCthC. My main goal is to ascertain the truth and present it without personal . comment, cynicism or sarcasm, satd Lovett. In addition to publishing a manual on ttUsing Computers in Black History? Lovett has published about a dozen articles in professional journals such as the Tennessee Historical Quarterly and the Journal of Negro History. He is currently working on his first book. Since coming to TSU in the fall of 1973, Lovett has served as acting department head and department head for history, acting assistant dean for Arts and Sciences and currently as acting dean ofthe University College. Lovett is married to Lueatrtce Green Lovett. They have four Children.

Thursday. February 6.1986 TSU student recalls friendship, guidance of shuttle astronaut By Clarke Canfield Banner Stat! erler When the space shuttle Chal- lenger exploded just moments af- ter takeoff last week, Tennessee State University student Ronald Cobbs felt more of a loss than most people. Cobbs, a junior at TSU who is studying for a career as an astro- naut. lost a good friend in Ronald McNair, one of the seven astm-- nauts whose fiery deaths sent the nation into shock and mourning. If it weren't for McNair, Cobbs might be preparing for a different career right now. I felt I'd lost a friend, Cobbs said Monday after arriving back from Houston where he attended Friday's memorial service for the astronauts. uI felt hurt. I was that way for several days. Ron McNair was sort of the fo- cal point of my goal, the 20-year- old Cebbs said. He encouraged me to pursue the sciences. I 31- ways liked math and science, but didntt know what I wanted to do. But after I met him. I knew what to do. Be inspired me a lot. Cohbs is studying electrical en- gineering in a work-study pro- gram at 'ISU and has put in two separate three-month stints at Johnson Space Center in Houston the past couple at years studying aerospace technology. He first met McNair during a trip to Hous- ton with his sister, who now works for NASA. when he was in the 10th grade. He said McNair befriended him and took time out to answer his questions. And for that. the 1983 White's Creek High School gradu- ate says, he will never forget him. He hook the time to talk to me despite his busy schedule, he said. When I went back. it felt good to see him in the parking lot and have him wave at me and call my name. He remembered me Ronald Cobb: ' Seeks career in space I said you've got to be kidding. Ron McNair was on there. It was hard to believe. When I called my mother, she was in tears.' But he remains undaunted in his pursuit to explore the last fron- tier. Definitely. he said without hesitation when asked if he still wanted to be an astronaut. The reason why is I think back to the '603 when the astronauts were killed. If we'd stopped there, we wouldntt get to where we are to- dav. When I look back at the risks and rewards, the rewards outweigh the risks, he said. Pee pIe my age . . . we're the future. We've got to keep things going. Ironically. Cobbs was afraid of heights as a youngster. 'Tve come a long way, he said. Now I love flying. Therets a peace. a tranquility. If people reacted to every fear. they wouldn't go anywhere. They couldn't make that Iirst step for- ward. :.:u.s 3 E2252: 2: :5 .E 22.3 3:: 55 EEmPE :55$ 2.: Eco 8: McEBEom 2 $803 2.2:... .23 mmEca... 2.23.53 3an :03 t Bu :8 :02 :EB macaw :2: 9:6; 25 82: m0 383... of... .Ewobu :mutuEx. 2t? 6539a a mm 20me batch 0.2 2.: mo 15:: 9 m3:- 3 25mm mnEos... .2823 2 :33 2:2. 352 nae c.5552 95 222: 2: :0 mm: coEou a 3:3 23.223: :55 :0; 265. on.

The renovation proposal - which will go to ma State Board of Regents for approval on Friday - deals with the Student Union Building as well as the six campus donnitories. They are in need 01 very major renovations. said Norm J ohnson, re- gents' vice chancellor for facilities. Our schedule is to be able to start construction a year from now. We will have lo do one or two at a lime. Overhaul of heating. ventilation. air conditioning. electrical and plumbing systems is top priority, said Ron Dickson. TSU vice presi- dent for business affairs. Next coma repair or building fa- cades and interior work. inCluding new fumiiure and fresh paint. The proposed renovations are expected to take about three years. putting completion in 1989 or 1990, Dickson said. They would be cooler in the sum- mer and warmer in the winter, .. Dickson said. You'll have beiter-equipped dor- mitories in terms of furnishing inside and improved lounges and student study areas. I would not expect the kinds of plumbing problems we've had in some of the older dorms. Students have complained loudly i this year about don'rlitory conditions. including heating deficiencies and faulty plumbing, said to have caused water damage to books and clothing. J ohnson said TSU'S donnitories compare poorly with those on other regents' university campuses. TSU '15 one of six public universities gov- erned by the lS-member board.

Heavens, eoaeh Larry Reidls first Tennessee State basketball team is only now at the break-even mark. The Tigers climbed to 11-1 1 on Monday night with a win over Miles College. and have a chance to pull over the .500-mark when they visit Augusta College tonight in Georgia. 'tWhether we can help people feel better about the school and the situa- tion it has been goingthrough.1don'l know. said Reid. Maybe 50. I think we are giving people something to look forward to? Words of' encouragement have been hard to come by at Tennessee State during the past eight months. Therels been a stormy transition in the presidentls office, a delay in ap- pOmttng a new chief executive. and similar circumstances surrounding the athletic directorls office. Enrollment declined and budgets were cut. The cherished football team strug- gled in what was expected to be a banner season. The women's basket- ball coach was dismissed. The athletic department's business manager quit. Citingjob frustrations. Yet in the midst ofit all. Reid and his players went to work last fall. 11 was a ragtag. orphaned bunch. It Was made up of reserves who watched last season's disastrous 9-19 Cammign from the end of the bench and a few transfers and freshmen 111111 de signed after Reid was nam- Ed last April after a successful stint at 3131110? COUEgC in suburban Atlanta. A lot of people counted this bunch out from the startt said Reid. But I tried to get every one of our players to believe that if they wanted it to be different, it could be? They werenlt sure ititheyr wanted to believe him or not. I understood what they had been through and that it would take time for them to develop some confidence in me. But the hardest thing we had to overcome was a feeling ofinseeuri- ty. ofgiving up when we fell behind. said Reid. The new coach went to drilling his Tigers on game fundamentals.

While discuzeing the 1SU presi- dency. Garland also denied charges he has put a muade on members of the presidential selection committee. t'The committee agreed that be- cause of the negative publicity in the past. if any statements were to be made to the media I would be the spokesman. he said. We don't need to shoot ourselves in the foot. Concerning enrollment. which was slightly more than 6,000 students for the 1985-86 school year and included about 3595 white students.

Garland, a former Republican- state senator from Greeneville who has been in his current pc'sition since J anuary. said he understands a court settlement calls for the student body at TSU to be 5096 white by 1993.

THE TENNESSEAN Saturday JuneZl,1986 Otis Floyd named interim TSU president By Kathleen Wilson Banner Education Writer Otis L. Floyd Jr.. vice presi- dent for administration at Mid- dle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro. today was named the new interim presi- dent of Tennessee State University. State Board of Regents Chancellor Thomas Garland. who made the appointment. said Floyd will assume the posi- tion in mid-June. FloycL 58. succeeds Roy P. Petersont who plans to return to his post as an administrator for the Kentucky Council on Higher Education at the end ofthls month. Garland said today that Floyd will serve in the interim post until a permanent presi- dent is named. possibly in early fall. Floyd will not be a can- didate for the permanent posi- tion, Garland said. Earlier this year. the state Board of Regents halted the search for a permanent TSU president and ruled that the in- terim president could not be a candidate for the permanent position. Until that time. Peter- son had been allowed to be a candidate. Peterson said today he still is not ready to say whether he will reapply as a candidate for the permanent post. But he said he will work with Floyd to assure a smooth transition. I hope the university and the new interim president will be able to work very well together as the tsearchl process for the president continues. he said. Floyd said today that he in- tends to work hard with the university familyll to improve the quality ofedueation at TSU. He said that ifdivisions exist at TSU. it takes the whole univer- sity working together to resolve them. I will work with them, he said. It takes all of'them work- ing together to make a great university. While many TSU supporters oppose a Federal court agree- ment calling for desegregation 0f TSU. Floyd said he believes in fulfilling court orders under normal circumstances. When the court speaks. I feel like we have to make an honest effort to carry it out. he said. Floyd said that if he becomes convinced a court order is un- fair. the place to oppose it is in the courts. F loyd said he has not read the portion of the federal ceurt set- tlement that applies to TSU. but that he plans to do it im- mediately. He said he is familiar with the sections 0fthe desegregation agreement that apply to MTSU. tlHere at MTSU, we work hard to bring in other-raee students. he said. Floyd said he has no specific plans for his tenure in the TSU office. I would want to know what their tTSUlsl long-range and short-range goals are he said. I will be working with them to help them accomplish their goals for the long range at short range. Fm not going Wllll an agenda to Tennessee State. 1 think Tennessee State already has an agenda. Before joining MTSU. Floyd worked as an administrator for the state Department of Educa- lIOI'l. The McNairy County native holds a bachelor's degree from Lane College in Jackson. a master's degree from Tennessee State University and a doc- torate of education from Mem- phis State University. Floyd and his wife. Mildred. have four grown children. Mrs. Floyd and their son. Reginald. both graduated from TSU. We have a feeling for TSU and know something about it. he said. Nashville Banner June5,1986 Thursday Interim TSU president not bitter By Kathleen Wilson Banner Educahon Wriler The interim president oi Ten- nessee State University said he harbors not one ounce of bit- terness about the Opposition he faced during his 10-month ten- ure. but he believes that more could have been achieved with L'. coOperation. Given all this controversy we've been in . . . and a less than desirable amount of coop- eration. how much more we would have been able to get if we had cooperation? asked Roy Peterson, who will resign from his position June 30. Various faculty members, students and alumni have op- posed some of Peterson's deci- sions since shortly after he be- gan his term as interim presi- dent last July. Among the decisions that were criticized were appoint- ments of top personnel. a deci- sion to Spend about 360.000 on renovations at the TSU presi- dent's borne, and proposed in- creases in standards at a school with a tradition of serving disadvantaged students. A small group of students called for Peterson's resigna, lion, and several faculty mem- bers refused to meet with him. Local citizens speculated pri- vately that he had struck a deal to be appointed permanent president at TSU. Some of that speculation end- edllast February when state of- fleials decided to halt the search for a permanent presi- dent at TSU. They also decided that alter Peterson's term ex- pired. the interim president could not be a candidate for the permanent position. Peterson said he plans to leave TSU in less than two months. Looking back. he said it was sometimes difficult not to take the criticism personally. I have discussed so much of this with my wife. Peterson said during a recent interview. She has helped me understand that you can't take this person- ally and still remain the person you are. Peterson said that overallfNashville and David- son County have been very good to me There obviously have been Instam-es where l have been over CO Roy Peterson Leaving June 30 misunderstood or misinterpret- ed. There have been instances where the decisions I have made have not been greeted with open arms . . . live tried not to respond to those peeple in the same way they've respond- ed to me. Although he refused to name names, Peterson said his den tractors are both those who want TSU to remain predomi- nantly black and those who want it to become predominant- 1y white. ttAnybody who becomes pres ident of Tennessee State Uni- versity can expect that there will be some detractors at both ends of the spectrum. and that's been true in my case? he said. Unfortunately. he said, the detractors have been vocal, while the great majority tWho want the best for Tennessee State University't have not spu- ken out. Peterson denied that he was politically naive about the balancing act required of TSU presidents. Educators have said the TSU president must please the university's black consti- tuency while meeting the ow peetations of the whites who put him in power, a difficult task at best. ttI oidn't know the depth or intenSIty of the situation, but I did know this is probably the toughest job in the nation, Peterson remarked. I did know it was an extreme challenge for whoever camein. . . .iSometirnes you have to eval- uate the political scene and g0 lhut route. Other times you nflicts have to evaluate the political scene and the decision you make may be inconsistent with that. If everything you do. you do on the basis of politics. maybe you ought to be an elected offi- cial and not a university presi- dent. Peterson said he believes he has met the job's challenges. One achievement he cited was establishing open. honest de- bate about the university and community. But he also said hets proud of his personnel deci- sions. improvements in test scores. registration and facili- ties. Campus improvement and beautification has been support- ed and will continue to the tune of $2.5 million next year. and I have successfully secured about $3 million to completely reno- vate the student union building and all student dorms over the next three years. he said. The Louisiana native defends ed his decisions, including the appointments of Richard Rho- da, Ed Risby and Gale Sayers as administrators. He also said that while about $56,000 in re. novations have been completed on the presidents home, it prob- ably needs $30,000 to 540.000 more in repairs to bring it up to the standards of other college presidents, homes. If I had it all to do over again, I would do the very same thing, he said about the reno- vations. Peterson declined to say whether he will become a can- didate for the permanent TSU presidency. now that the state Board of Regents has halted the search for a president. He said he plans to return to his former post as doputy exec- utive director for academic al- l'airs at the Kentucky Council on Higher Education. He said he still believes TSU and the Da- vidson County community can form a mutually beneficial marriage, but that it hasn't happened so far. . I think the desegregationem- tegration issue, which has to be negotiated at some point in the future. has dominated the po- tential cooperation between the university and the community to such an extent that it has im- peded what I believe will be an understanding, he said. 3..

There were times when the guys on the team looked for Dick more than they looked to seoref said John McLendon. the coach who molded the Big Blue d 'nas- ty, himself a member 0 the NAIA Hall of Fame. t'Aetuall'y that wasnlt so bad. There wasn't any questlon- we would win if we could get 11 to him? added the coach. Barnettls fall-away jump shot was unorthodox. but almost unstoppable, MeLendon recalled. He would post up mside. take a step back and then shoot it from way back here. said MeLendott. holding his shooting hand behind his right ear. ttNobody could reach the ball even ifthey tried to block it. Barnett came from a poor neighborhood in Gary1 1nd,. and learned to play basketball 0n the playground. The night MeLendon first went to visit the youngster, Barnettls mother told the coach her son was out on the playground. 1tSince when do they have lights on the playground? McLendon asked Mrs. Barnett. Oh. there are no lights. she said. McLendon walked down the street to the playground and sure enough found Barnett shooting in the dark. He had found a goal silhouet- ted by a far off street light. Held spend his time just shooting at that silhOuette. said MeLendon. uThat says something about how far dedication can bring vou. ' Barnett led TSU to the NAIA nationals all four of his college seasons. The Tigers were 17-1 in those four tournaments. Barnett averaged 25.1 points in those 18 games and was named tourney most valuable player in 1958 and 1959. The only tourney loss in Barnett's career came in the third round ofthe 1956 tourney. when Barnett was a freshman. TSU then started an lS-garne tourney win streak that extended until a semifinal loss in 1960. the year after Barnett graduated. The win streak and TSU's lifetime 23-4 tournament ree'ord are both NAIA records. Barnett joins McLendon, in- ducted in 1962. and former team- mate John Barnhill. enshrined in 1964. in the NAIA Hall of Fame. THE TENNESSEAN Sunday March 16, 1986 Chancellor wants to halt TSU search By Kathleen Wilson Banner Education Writer State Board of Regents Chancellor Thomas Garland is recommending to the full board that the search for a permanent president at Tennessee State University be halted indefinitclv. Garland said Interim President Roy P. Peterson will remain in his position until at least June 30. But after that time, Garland said, he wants an interim president to be appointed who is not a can- didate for the permanent position. uAn interim president who is a permanent candidate may work toutt on some campuses. but not on this one. Garland said. Peterson. who applied for the permanent post after it was vacated last spring by former TSU President Frederick Hum- phries, has held the interim post since July 1. He has taken a sab- batical from his post as deputy executive director for academic affairs of the Kentucky Council on Higher Education! but until Monday was one of 24 remaining candidates for TSU's top job. Several TSU faculty members have complained that Peterson should not have been appointed by former Board of Regents Chancellor Roy S. Nicks as long as he was a candidate for the per- manent position. They speculated that he had the ltinside track for thejob. Peterson said today that he did not know if he would still be in- terested in being the permanent president He said Garland int formed him of his recommenda- tion to halt the search on Monday morning but that he would have to decline comment for now. Garland said he told Gov. Lamar Alexander and state Board of Regents Vice Chairman Scott Mayfield of his decision. uThe governor was informed of my decision? Garland said Mon- day in an interview. He was not asked to participate. Mayfield said today that he did not know when the board would act on Gariandls recommenda- tion. But he expressed no object- ions to it. lhl think he wants to set up his Own search. and I think hes en- titled to that. Mayl'teld said. Garland said he discussed his recommendation Monday with a TSU advisory committee. which had been considering resumes of candidates for the post. Garland said. however. that he expects those applicants will be JOII'led by others when the board starts a new search. Augusto Macedo. a TSU stu- dent leader who is a committee memberi said today that the com- mittee concurred with Garlandls decision. tMeanwhile. Garland said that given the existing climate within the TSU community. the search should not proceed. Garland said that he was not swayed by a petition signed by more than 1,000 students oppos- ing Peterson nor by a press con- ference called last week by the Tennessee Rainbow Coalition, 3 political group that has expressed concern with TSU's administration. But he said he was concerned with the inability of various TSU constituencies to unite, the universityis declining enrollment and the need for TSU and the Nashville community to share a common vision for TSU. This community needs a ma- jor urban university. he said. And 1 donit think the Nashvdle urban community or the TSU community should settle for anything less? In a prepared statement. Garland said TSU must play a key role as the major urban state university in the metropolitan Nashville area. . Until the business communt- tv. the government eontmttnity and the TSU community begtntto share a common vision which focuses on the enormous poten- tial of this university, our efforts to pursue a permanent premdent will be in vain. he said. It is only with this cornmon vision that a permanent prestcittht can succeed. Garland said. We must decide what is to be led before we seek a leader? Nashville Banner Tuesday February 4, 1986 171 .
