Interview With Dr. Lucas 4UQg-5 Sfmt' i Q:-,ji ln the 1986-87 school year, the University of Southern Mississippi had to survive yet another budget cut which, among other things, resulted in the loss of the 26 USM faculty members. USM President, Dr. Aubrey K. Lucas said although some professors felt the need to leave the state for higher paying jobs, many faculty members showed their commitment to the University by remaining here. l think that regardless of what comes our way we have within ourselves the resources and the resolve to handle the issues and the challenges. During this crisis, we found that faculty, staff and students care very deeply about this institution, and they're willing to work hard to come forward with ways to adjust to budget cuts and other such setbacks. But even though this kind of commitment will keep many here, he said, we must not count on this commitment. We need clear expressions from our legislators that the state of Mississippi does value higher education. However, while USM did lose almost 5 percent of its faculty, the University received a S10 million grant from the federal government to build a polymer science research complex on campus. Lucas said the facility will have far reaching implications for the entire University. We'll have ongoing research activities here which will bring to this University outstanding scientists, not only in polymer science, but in physics, biology and chemistry as well. USM also has collected more than S5 million in its efforts to raise 87.5 million as part of its 75th anniversary celebration. Lucas said he feels confident that the University will reach its goal by USM's 1987 Homecoming -Tammy Petro Dr. Aubrey K Lucas 21
