telephone interview, other factors
contributed to his leaving
so abruptly.
"The opposition and
resistance young ministers
have met with old ministers
and traditional forces within
the churches stifles a lot of
young ministers-who are involved
in change,".Wiley said.
"Myself, (Warner) Dumell
and (Gilbert) Campbell (all of
whom were young ministers
who left the city) were able to
do some things. But I found it
to be a real difficulty in trying
to develop my ministry
because of the resistance.
"My potential was limited
because of the opposition
from traditional forces."

student affairs at the 600-plus
enrollment law school.
Although the 33-year-old Purdie
was offered the position
earlier this year, she said Covy
ington's resignation July 6 prompted
her to reconsider the offer.
"I was offered the opportunity
a while ago and turned it down
initially," Purdie said. "After
the chancellor was offered a position,
I reconsidered. He (Covington)
was my primary reason
for coming to WSSU. I came to
work with him."
Purdie turned in her resignafc,?*

Aug. 24, four days after Covington
is scheduled to leave.
The mother of an 11-year-old
daughter, Fatina, Purdie worked
for Legal Services of Central New
York before coming to WSSU.
She received her undergraduate
degree in sociology from Howard
University, her graduate degree
in education from the City College
in New York and her law
degree from Syracuse University.
The job in Houston will allow
her the opportunity to combine
her degree in education with her
law experience, Purdie said.
"I get to incorporate both my
legal skills and education
background in Houston,*' she
said.
Purdie is the second person in
Covington's cabinet to resign this
summer. Clifton E. Graves Jr.
resigned in late June to accept a
position as an assistant city attorney
in New Haven, Conn.
Graves, who had worked at
WSSU for three and a half years,
served as the university's affirmative
action officer.
