Clifton Graves the month.
Although his major reason for leaving
WSSU is the pursuit of professional
growth, Graves said, the possibility that
Dr. H. Douglas Covington, WSSU's
chancellor, may also be leaving to assume
the presidency of Alabama A&M Urrtver'
sity was instrumental in his making tfi*
decision to leave now.

has some bearing on my decision to seek
other employment," said Graves, who
has been called the chancellor's "righthand
man." "I don't know if the new
person" would be as tolerant and
understanding as Dr. Covington towards
my internal work and external activities."
Covington's departure is not certain,
Graves said, but he is the prime candidate
for the Alabama A&M presidency. The
Normal, Ala., school's board of trustees
is expected to make a decision on Friday,
June 29, and Covington and his wife were
expected to fly to the school later ths
week.

For the second time in two months,
local NAACP President Patrick L.
Hairston has been defeated in his bid for a
seat on the five-member Board of County
Commissioners.

seeking to fill the unexpired term of the
late Fred D. Hauser during a special called
meeting of the county Democratic Party
Tuesday night.
Hauser died of cancer June 1.
Hairston earlier had run for a seat in
the May 8 primary but fell 125 votes short
of making the Nov. 6 ticket. He lost again
as Holton, a 63-year-old housewife and
- former aide to U.S. Rep. Steve Neal, won
overwhelmingly over Joseph G. Mann, a
Duke Power Co. executive, 607 Vi votes to
186l/i, on the third ballot.
? Still,Hairston had been the only one
among the four candidates who had run
for county commissioners and he reminded
his fellow Democrats of that fact Tuesday.
"I did not wait until the death of Mr.
Hauser," Hairston said in his threeminute
acceptance speech after being
nominated by Clifton Graves, affirmative
action officer at Winston-Salem State
University. "I ran for this office."
Hairston's nomination was seconded
by Wendell E. Eysenback, chairman of
the predominantly white Parkway United
Church of Christ precinct.

"Some black folk still remain loyal to

"They are embarrassed not to give them
their support."
The other candidate for the post was
Jim Smith, a precinct volunteer who had
worked on the campaigns of both Alderman
Larry WomWc and Commissioner
Mazie Woodruff.
- Smith was defeated on the first ballot,
garnering only 28 votes.
Meanwhile, runner-up Mann, whom
many referred to as being "hand-picked"
by Mayor Wayne Corpening and
representing old-line Democrats, ran second
to Holton and was defeated on the
third ballot after Hairston's backers swit
ched their support to Holton.
As expected, Hairston's major strength
came from the inner-city precincts.
Hairston did, however, receive limited
support from the other four wards in the
city and from the Clemmonsville 2, VienPlease
