Kennesaw college
going four years
ATLANTA (UPI) - Ken
nesaw Junior College in Mariet
ta will be made a four-year
institution if a state Board of
Regents decision does not
conflict with the Department of
Health, Education and Wel
fare’s desegregation plan for
the state.
The Board of Regents voted
9-2 Wednesday to convert
Kennesaw Junior College to a
four-year college, beginning in
the fall of 1978. The legislature
appropriated $250,000 this year
for expansion of the college.
Milton Jones of Columbus,
who opposed the plan, ques
tioned the expense and the
impact of Kennesaw expansion
on other area colleges and on
the HEW desegregation plan
for the university system.
The Regents agreed to ask
HEW for an impact study on

the Kennesaw proposal. “The
legislature did give $250,000, but
this is a recurring expen
diture,” Jones said during a
two-hour debate on the motion
by James Maddox of Rome.
House Appropriations Chair
man Joe Frank Harris of
Cartersville assured the board
state funds would be available
for Kennesaw in the future.
“For two years the General
Assembly has earmarked funds
(for Kennesaw). This shows
legislative intent,” Harris said.
Rep. Al Burruss of Marietta
told the regents “this is a real
critical need in the 7th
(Congressional) District.”
He urged Kennesaw expan
sion this year “because the
parents can’t afford to send
their children to boarding
colleges or spend the gas
driving all the way to Georgia
State” in downtown Atlanta,
some 30 miles southeast of
Kennesaw.
Dr. John Cooper, associate
vice-chancellor of the university
system, said a senior college at
Kennesaw might lure at least
500 students away from West
Georgia College at Carrollton.

Bert Lance named
chief executive
ATLANTA (UPI) - Bert
Lance, president of the Nation
al Bank of Georgia, has been
named chief executive officer
and will be responsible for
managing Atlanta’s fifth largest
bank.
NBG board chairman King D.
Cleveland announced to stock
holders Wednesday he was
resigning immediately as chief
executive officer and would
retire from all of his remaining
daily duties Sept. 30.
But Cleveland said he will
continue to serve as board
chairman and as a special paid
consultant to the bank.
“I’ve never made any secret
of the fact that I didn’t want to
stay here until I died in the
saddle,” said the 54-year-old
Cleveland. “But you can never
make a transition until you are
satisfied that there is someone
in your organization who can do
the job better than you have.”
At a meeting held immediate
ly after NBG’s annual stockhol
der’s meeting, the bank’s board
of directors named Lance chief
executive officer.
The 45-year-old Lance was
elected president and chief
operating officer of the bank in
January, 1975, after his unsuc
cessful gubernatorial campaign
in 1974.
He and two other Atlanta
businessmen last June paid $7.4
million for controlling interest
in the bank that had been held
was Jones’s only ally in
opposition to the Kennesaw
proposal.
According to figures compiled
by the chancellor’s office,
enrollment at Kennesaw Junior
College increased 38.2 per cent
between the fall quarters of
1974 and 1975, from 2,241 to
3,098.

The board of directors named
John Stembier, president of the

Cleveland as chairman of the
executive committee of the
board.
Muskie says it won’t be fatal
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (UPI) —
An ill-advised reference to
“ethnic purity” by Jinuny
Carter has been blown out of
proportion by the press and
should not prove fatal to
Carter’s presidential chances,
according to Sen. Edmund
Muskie.
The Maine Democrat Wednes
day likened the remark to his
crying incident in New Hamp
shire four years ago, but
indicated Carter’s slip will not
be as damaging as his own
tearful attack on a New
Hampshire publisher.
“I don’t sense that it’s pulled
the rug out from under him,
like the New Hampshire thing
did for me,” Muskie said. “I

Carter has been haunted in

not be upset by federal

Dr. Fite
to take
‘chair’
CHARLESTON, 111. (UPI) —
Dr. Gilbert C. Fite, president of
Eastern Illinois University
since 1971, has announced his
resignation.
Fite, only the fourth president
since classes began at Eastern
in 1899, Wednesday said the
resignation will be effective
Sept. 1. He is leaving to assume
the Richard B. Russell profes
sorship of history at the
University of Georgia at
Athens, he said.
“I believe this is an ideal
time for a change in adminis
tration,” Fite said. “Eastern is
in a healthy, thriving condition
not withstanding the budgetary
problems which affects us
along with most institutions of
higher education. I think a five
year tenure for president in
these rapidly changing times is
about right for the president
and the institution.”
Fite had originally planned to
announce his resignation this
week at the April meeting of
the Board of Governors of State
Colleges and Universities, but
that meeting was canceled. He
said he had advised officials of
the organization of his inten
tions and expects that body to
announce shortly its plans for
selection of his successor.
Fite went to Eastern from the
University of Oklahoma where
he was the George Lynn Cross
research professor of history.
At the University of Georgia he
will teach one course each year
and spent the rest of his time
researching and writing.

largely to blame for the
continued spotlight on the
fleeting Carter remark.
“It’s pretty tough, especially
when you’re the front-runner,”
he sympathized. They can write
about that, then write about it a
little longer and a little longer,
and a little longer. Then they
wait for you to stumble. The
news media is just looking for
news.”
He said he was reminded of a
similar incident during his ill
fated 1972 camaign, when he
said he did not believe a black
could be elected vice president.
He said that printed stories
made it appear that he was
personally opposed to a black
vice president, while he meant

that the country’s political
climate was such that a black
could not get elected.
Muskie said the upcoming
Pennseylvania primary will test
the net effect of Carter’s
“ethnic purity” remark, since
Pennsylvania has a large ethnic
vote and a large concentration
of black voters.
“I think that there are
sufficient numbers there to test
the severity of the statement,”
he said.
Muskie added that he thinks
the Democratic primaries have
come down to a two-man race
between Carter and Hubert
Humphrey, with Humphrey
“running alongside of the track
right now.”
He said Arizona Congressman
Morris Udall and Washington
Sen. Henry Jackson appear to
be “fronting” for the Hum
phrey campaign, and that their
delegates will go to Humphrey
at this summer’s national
nominating convention.
Muskie also said he does not
see a concentrated effort
among the “Eastern Establish
ment” to stop Carter, a
