The predominantly black land-grant institution, located just outside ot* Huntsville, is suffering fron*s> shrinking student enrollment, a weak relationship with the local corporate community and a physical plant that needs repairs. The university and the statesupported Alabama university system also are in the process of developing a desegregation plan ? all problems WSSU faced when Covington arrived seven years ago. The challenges those problems present, Covington said, are the reason he decided to go to Alabama A&M. "I've never been interested in llllllllllllimtlllllMMIMIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIllllHIIIII Unity rally li The rest of the party's guest list, which included state Sen. Marvin Ward, county Democratic Party Chairman Earline Parmon, aldermen Vivian Burke, Larry Little, Lynne Harpe and Womble, Robert Joyce, County Commissioner Mazie Woodruff, Police Chief Lucius Powell, Fire Chief Lester Ervin and Forsyth Tech president Dr. Bob Greene, were as festive as the party itself. Said Parmon, chairman of the Forsyth County Democratic Party, "I wish Jesse Helms would just fly over right now. We've The Chroni advertising offices. ? "We're asking the community folk to stop by and take a look at the kind of improvements we've made and renew their subscriptions at the same time," says Pitt. Pitt's wife Elaine, the . paper's business manager, remembers when a partition had to be built in the back of the Chronicle's first home on Patterson Avenue in order for her husband to have an office. The second-floor office of the Chronicle had previously been the headquarters of the local Black Panthers and the building was shared with a church and Dr. O.G.

"I've never wanted to Agp a migrant worker, ... but there are ^challenges at Alabama A&M that *1 accept." Covington, who makes over $55,000 a year at WSSU, said he was not leaving the school because of money. His new salary at Alabama A&M is $70,000 annually plus housing, travel and other benefits. Covington's leaving and leaving so soon presents a number of problems for WSSU. For one, replacements for him will have to be found, one as an interim chancenor^ another on a permanent basis.

"The number of white people here today just underscores their realization of how important the black vote will be in November," said Winston-Salem State University Affirmative Action Officer Clifton Graves.

In those days* the paper had the luxury of one secretary while the full-time reporter, circulation manager, paperdeliverer and editor was Ernest Pitt. Mrs. Pitt worked only on the weekends then. "Open house is not just a process of coming to see," she says, "but coming to share. There have been people who have supported us all the way from Patterson Avenue. "We don't look at it individually as our progress. It's a matter of sharing it (progress) with the community."

Whether that person will be someone who already works at WSSU or someone from the outside, remains uncertain. But Davis promised that a decision would be made before Covington leaves on Aug. 20. Second, the position of vice chancellor for academic affairs, held by Dr. Arnold Lockett before he resigned to return to teaching, has beep vacant for almost a year. Covington said he will not appoint someone to fill that^ position but will leave the task to the new chancettor and t he-board of trustees.
