WSSU hear
He himself hadn't signed up to
speak, but Beaufort Bailey, a
WSSU employee and a citycounty
school board member
who happened to be in Blair Hall
(where the hearing was supposed
to have been held), said he, too,
was disturbed that no one showed.
"When we were looking for a
(city-county school) superintendent,
people came out of the
woods with what they wanted in a
superintendent," said Bailey,
vice chairman of the school
board. "I was thinking they
would be waiting in line."
Bailey also speculated why the
public mysteriously chose not to
attend this public hearing.
"One, 1 think^Jhany of the
employees may have felt that, if
they spoke, they would be looked
at as arrogant,'* said Bailey. "We
still haven't gotten over the days
when we couldn't speak for fear
of losing our jobs."
Second, said Bailey, "People
have confidence in the members
of the search committee. 1 believe
^the search committee will do a
*hell of a job."
Dr. Elwanda Ingram, chairman
of the WSSU faculty senate,
said WSSU faculty members
didn't appear because they had
already presented in writing a list
of attributes they feel the new
chancellor should possess.
As for the public's refusal to
come, Ingram said: "I think that
many feel they are not skilled, in
terms of academia, enough to tell
them (the search committee) what
they want. They feel that people
in academics know better than
they do. They just don't feel they
have the expertise to tell them
what they want."
In addition, said Ingram, the
Rep. Compa
"We have been striving for some
years now to get the company
moving with a degree of momentum."
Joining the Arts Council does
not, however, mean that the
Black Repertory Company will
lose any of its independence, said
Hamlin.
"We will still rnntiniiA t/v

the direction for the company,"
he said. "... We will remain the
same organization and we need
and #will continue to need the
maximum support of our community."
Hamlin said joining the Arts
Council is only one step toward
building a strong financial base
for the company.
Rhodes said he could not say at
this point how much in Arts
Council funds the Black Repertory
Company will receive when
it is eligible, but the normal
amount given to member groups
is 25 percent of the each group's
budget, he said. The Black
Repertory Company's current
budget is approximately $120,000
_?~ Jb*<430,000, ^taid Hamlin.
Hamlin said he hopes the company's
membership in the Arts
Council will encourage more mixed
audiences at its performances,
which, up to now, have attracted

format of the meeting may have
turned some people away.
"Some may question whether
it was really a public hearing/'
said Ingram. "I had the imores
sion people could come and
listen. Some may have been intimidated
because you had to
make an appointment.*'
Nettie Manning, president of
the Columbia Heights Alumni
Association, one of four local
WSSU alumni chapters, said she
didn't appear because she was ill.
But Manning also said too much
is being made of the chancellor
search process.
"We are playing this too big,"
said Manning. "I think a big
thing is being made out of a
business proposition."
When Davis first announced
the makeup of the search committee,
the school's faculty senate
complained because its chairman
was not a member. In an effort to
have some say in the selection of
the new chancellor, the senate
submitted a list of 10 criteria it
hoped the committee would consider
in screening applicants.
Among those criteria was the
faculty senate's desire that the
new chancellor, unlike the former
chancellor, Dr. H. Douglas Covington,
be an academician.
Davis said he could not discuss
the criteria for the new chancellor
because the search committee is
still designing its own criteria.
But he did say that a background
in academics would be high on
the list.
"We will be looking for someone
with excellent academic
qualifications," said Davis.
It will be a week to 10 days,
Davis saidbefore the search
committee has completed its
criteria list. Davis also said that

mostly black audiences.
"It will have some effect on a
white audience," said Hamlin.
"The. Arts Council is giving its
OK to the organization as one of
quality and as one that should be
supported."
Rhodes s&id he doesn't look at
the Black Repertory Company as
a black group joining the Arts
Council; instead, he said sees it as
simply a another group that has
met the criteria for membership.
Lynwood Oglesby, director of
Urban Arts, another member of
the Arts Council, said the Black
Repertory Company's membership
will benefit all parties involved.
"The Black Rep has really
earned the, right to become a
member of the ^rts Council,"
Oglesby said. "They don't come
with an empty hand; they bring a
certain amount of their own ability.
In a lot of ways, this is a
reward for their hard work."

the criteria developed by th<
faculty senate, as well a;
guidelines used by other schools
in the University of Nortf
Carolina system and by othei
universities of comparable size tc
Winston-Salem State, will be us
ed to design the final criteria.
As of now, Davis said, approx
imately 15 applications have beer
received.
The deadline fgp4pplications is
Dec. 30 and a new chancellor is
expected to be hired bv Ma^
1985. Davis would not speculate
if any of the applicants were
females or if Dr. Haywooc
Wilson, the school's interiir
chancellor, has applied for the
job.
At this point, Davis said, the
committee is advertising for the
position in educational journals
and selected newspapers, including
The New York Times,
writing letters to other college
presidents advising them of th<
opening and contacting, b>
telephone, 50 persons wellknown
in educational circles.
"We want to find the best individual
possible," Davis said.

? Many faculty felt that Covs
ington, during his seven-year
s tenure, had been overly concerni
ed with development and not
r concerned enough with
> academics. Some alumni openly
- criticized him, charging that he
was moving the school way from
\ its original mission.
1 But since Wilson took over as
interim chancellor, the criticism
J has quieted. That may be one
; reason many people didn't come
^ to the public hearing, said Victor
i Johnson, a WSSU alumnus,
r "The community is concerned
1 but things have settled down
i since Dr. Wilson has been at the
; helm of things," said Johnson.
"Things seem to be moving in the
i right direction. Dr. Wilson is do;
ing a good job, so there's no need
; to be out there fighting."
Because of the job Wilson is
, doing, Johnson said, he-hopes
; the search committee will take his
i attributes into consideration
' when looking for Covington's
replacement.
"I don't see why they wouldn't
get somebody like him,"
