Covington IMMItlllllHIItllllllltlUIIMIIIIIItMIMItHMIMIMMMIHMM the Alabama A&M presidency by its trustees, Covington said, he has not received a formal offer. "There are some aspects of the offer that have not been worked out," he said. "1 need to talk with them about salary, housing and other benefits." He was expected to make that decision before the end of the week. The news that Covington might be leaving WSSU came last Thursday when the board of trustees at Alabama A&M announced, after an 80-minute executive session, that it had offered Covington the school's presidency. A&M was the second time this year Covington has been considered to fill the top post at a Southern, predominantly black university. In Januajry, a weekly newspaper in Jackson, Miss., reported that Covington was the fronrrunner for the presidency of Jackson State University.

"They should get a divorce, because he could never run for anything else in North Carolina. How can he rule the state if he would let his wife come out and support a Republican like Jesse Helms?" Because of the close personal relationship between Hunt and Knox, Parmon said, she finds it especially hard to believe that Knox's wife and his brother (who managed his campaign) could decide to go against him. Knox, who was a college friend of Hunt's, served as Hunt's campaign manager and was appointed by Hunt as chairman of the powerful Advisory Budget Commission while Knox was a state senator. As for the repercussions of the announcement, Parmon said, they won't be far-reaching. While she is "appalled" and Helms, Parmon said,, she does not think that they represent the feelings of the majority of state's Democrats. "I think that, as a whole, this does not represent the feelings of the Democrats in North Carolina," she said. "This only represents the two of them." County Commissioner Mazie Woodruff said she finds it hard to believe that someone who has supported Eddie Knox, who emphasized his affirmative action record during his gubernatorial campaign, could support Helms, who is regarded as an affirmative action foe. "What Eddie Knox is talking about is completely on the other side of the world from Helms," Woodruff said. "There has to be some other motive." Although neither Frances or Charles Knox would comment, some Democrats feel the Knoxes may have decided to go with Helms in an effort to help pay off Knox's huge campaign expenses.
