Professor collects Tate stories for book
Dean William Tate
By L. PAUL PEN
DERGRASS
Rm and Black ContrlbuUn* Writer
He may be gone, but he’s
not forgotten
Next month at the
Demosthenian Literary
Society's all-night meeting.
Dean William Tate's
memory will be called up
again when Calvin Logue, a
University professor of
speech communications,
stands up to deliver the
midnight address, con
tinuing a 28-year tradition
Tate created by speaking at
the stroke of midnight.
Tate left his hospital bed to
deliver his last address Feb.
15, 1981, just seven months
before his death on Sept. 21.
The midnight address is
the focus of the society's
annual 12-hour meeting, to
be held this year on Feb. 18.
When Logue stands up to
speak this time, he will be
filling Tate's shoes for the
second straight year.
Logue said he didn’t feel it
was a big deal that he was
carrying on the tradition of a
"legend." “But I am quite
honored and willing to fill
in," he said.
"Dean Tate was an in
novative thinker, an
eloquent orator and a
stimulating human being. I
think anyone would be proud
to serve in his place," Logue
added.
But Demosthenians aren't
the only people who honor
the late dean of men's
memory, the memory of a
complex personality many
feel personified the
University of Georgia.
John English, a University
professor of journalism,
began collecting stories
about Tate in early
November and will compile
them into a book about Tate.
English's interests in Tate
are as complex and wide-
ranging as the late ad
ministrator himself. These
interests include Tate's roles
as authority figure, coun
selor and friend for un
dergraduates at the
University.
“I'm amazed by his sense
of justice — the way he
settled disputes, the way he
wielded power,” English
said.
Tate was widely known for
the special interest he took in
students during his long
career at the University, a
great part of which ended
with his resignation as dean
of men in 1977.
“It’s always been rare to
have an administrator who
identifies with the students
the way Dean Tate did,"
English said. "He was in
terested in the total
development of the students
and considered them to be
much more than just in
tellects.”
Tate also carried the
reputation of being not only a
man of character but also a
man who was a character.
“He was so self-confident
that he never worried about
making a fool of himself,"
English said. "Yet he always
exercised consummate good
taste."
Copple House Publishing
of Ossining, N.Y., will
publish the book, and while
the company has not set an
actual publication date, it
hopes to release the book by
September.
But English said his book
will not be the last word on
Tate's life.
“This will not be the
definitive biography of his
life,” English said. “I’m just
going to serve as a
clearinghouse for these
stories.”
English said Tate's
currently sealed in the main
library, would be his most
important source for the
stories. He also said, for his
book to be out in September,
he would need to be finished
writing by March. “I don't
know if that's realistic or
not,” he said.
But he said, "I think I’m
going to learn a lot by
looking at his life.”

Burned Krystal may house new restaurant
By JIM MASSARA
Bed and Black Staff Writer
The Krystal restaurant on
Baxter Street across from
Brumby Hall, closed since
April because of fire, may
re-open soon, but not as a
Krystal.
Deputy City Clerk Jean
Spratlin said the Chapel Hill,
N.C.-based Centauri Corp.
applied for a liquor license at
396 Baxter St., the
restaurant's address, in late
December.
The Athens Police Depart
ment is currently making a
routine check into the
background of Centauri’s of
ficers, listed on the applica
tion as Rocco DiSanto,
William Skinner and David
Paquette, all of Chapel Hill.
The check should be com
pleted “in the next few
days,” Sgt. L.H. McCrary,
officer in charge of the
check, said Monday.
DiSanto, Skinner and
Paquette are represented by
Athens attorney Davison
Burch, who refused to com
ment on his clients' plans for
the building. But, according
to Spratlin, the license ap
plication said the building
would be used by Centauri as
a restaurant.
As a Krystal, the
restaurant was a popular
place for dorm residents to
get a midnight snack since it
was open 24 hours a day.
But a grease fire last April
destroyed the rear part of
the building and caused
smoke damage to the front
area. The restaurant was oc
cupied when the blaze began
in a deep fryer, but no one
was injured.
After the fire, the Krystal
Co. — which rented the
building from former
University freshman foot
ball coach Howard “Doc"
Ayers — allowed its lease to
expire after deciding not to
re-open.
