from Cosby I?
"The Cosby Show" has been a
smash for NBG, offered the
money as part of the university's
$25 million capital fund-raising
campaign, which now totals
$17.5 million, Ponder said.
Cash and pledges from the
campaign are earmarked for
renovating Fisk's buildings, increasing
its endowment, expanding
the curriculum, increasing
faculty salaries, providing student
services and buying library
books.
Fisk's financial status is much
better than it was in 1983, when
the Nashville Gas Co. refused to
restore heat to dormitories ?
- because of unpaid bills. ' The ?
school had .a debt of about $4
million at the time, but Ponder ?
said that figure has been reduced
to about $300,000 and can be
paid through the institution's I H
regular operating budget. H

whom Federal Bureau of In- fl
vestigation agents investigating
the case say they have not been . I
able to identify or locate. The
agents testified that the defen- I
dants have denied knowing the
three individuals.
Throughout the trial, the pro- I
secution has attempted to prove
business relationship between the
three defendants and that proper
bank procedure was ignored in
the handling of the checks.
Much of his case has been built
around the testimonies of current
and former employees and officials
at First Union's Lexington
s Road branch, who may have
been familiar with Miss
Cassaberry, Tate and McConnell.
Attorneys for the defendants'
have advised their clients not to
comment on the case.
Weinman also declined to
make any comment on the y4
