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.
But Covington said he removed
himself from consideration for

(Eddie Knox's) sentiments; he
just can't come out and say it,"
said Earline Parmon, chairman
of the Forsyth County
Democratic Party, and the first
black woman to hold that post.
"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.
