Lemuel Berry Jr., a tenured music professor at Virginia State University in Colonial Heights, Va., sent U9CS officials a letter that he was resigning, Chancellor John Stockwell said Thursday. Berry was supposed to start work July 1. "After careful review and consideration of the dean's position at USCS, I feel that it is in my best interest to resign from the university," Berry said in his June 30 letter. He said he hadn't received a contract, and he was concerned that he hadn't been offered tenure, a form of job guarantee. Berry didn't return phone calls Thursday.

"Contacting the person later on (after the crime) shows effort on our part," Gallman said. "The personal contact might assist the victim in going through with it (pressing charges, etc). The sooner I can contact them, the better." Gallman said witnesses often are afraid to come forward in court proceedings. Til walk you through the system," he said. "We want you to be a good witness.

"My belief is that there are other reasons that went beyond that," Stockwell said. "I have seen situations where there is a need to express a rationale for an action that is essentially personal." Stockwell said he was certain there was no connection between Berry's decision and the controversy that developed when an African-American was initially selected as chancellor of the school in 1993. Charles Nelms of Indiana University withdrew as a candidate for chancellor after some Spartanburg leaders objected to the selection of a black man to lead the school. Stockwell was chosen in 1994.

The Qamocock Ad team pla Staff Reports ! A team of USC j ournalism students ' won third place in the 1995 National Student Advertising Competition June 3 in Tampa, Fla. The students also won the opportu- 1 nity to make their advertising presentation to the executives of the Chrysler 1 Corp. and to interview for jobs with some 1 of the nation's top advertising agencies 1 at Chrysler's headquarters in Highland 1 Parle Mirh. Loyola University in New Orleans finished first, with the University of Idaho placing second and the University of Texas at Austin placing fourth. The USC students advanced to the national competition by beating teams from other colleges in South Carolina, North Caroli- 1 na and Virginia during an April com- 1 petition in Charlotte, N.C. For the competition, Chrysler chal- 1 lenged teams to create a multimedia campaign targeting college students and 1 young adults for the company's Dodge 1 Neon automobile. i Each team submitted a detailed plan, 1 worth 50 percent of the final score, out- i lining creative strategies. The remain- i ing 50 percent of the team's score was based on a 20-minute presentation made ! before a panel of judges from Chrysler and the advertising industry. Members of the USC advertising team included Ward Bates, Michael Cooley, Ann Dorsev. Susan Goodwin.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - After almost four months on the Russian space station Mir, Norman Thagard is ready to call it quits. Shuttle crewmate Gregory Harbaugh doubts he'd want to spend months going round and round Earth. And the idea doesn't appeal to shuttle commander Robert "Hoot" Gibson, either. There wasn't exactly a stampede at NASA when the call went out for volunteers to live on Mir, and Thagard's less-than-glowing account of his life on a space station may prompt some U.S. astronauts to reconsider, what with construction of an international space station just two years away. "I'm not sure I have the mind-set to go stay someplace for three to six or 12 months if I wasn't going somewhere," Harbaugh admitted in a TV interview ina Cha linistry d \4ethodists ie u make fee houses, )jects, socials vfe et 799-7363 urcR on Campus *n><fmhrian.

Physics professor inducted into national academy USC physics Professor Horacio French received one or nis native country s mgnsst science honors when he was inducted into Argentina's National Academy ef Sciences June 30 in-Buenos Aires. Farach is recognized internationally for his research in electron spin resonance, which he has applied to many important problems in fundamental research in solid state physics. He has also helped colleagues in pharmacy and medicine apply these techniques to important problems in their respective fields. Farach is one of USC's most honored professors, having won the university's highest award for teaching (Amoco), the highest award for research (Russell) and the Beams Medal of the American Phys ical Society. He is also the inaugural holder of the Board of Trustees professorship, symbolic of excellence in teaching and research. Southern Studres professorship named The College of Liberal Arts has named Walter Edgar to the Claude Hemy Neuffer Chair Professorship in Southern Studies, effective Aug. 15. Edgar, director of USCs Institute for Southern Studies, is the first nerson to hold the professorship, which was esan not a pli Thursday from the shuttle Atlantis. "I think maybe if we were on our way to Mars, I'd be very interested. But going up and staying on a space station, I don't know." Gibson said before the flight that he wouldn't be interested in long space trips because of his young children: two sons, 12 and 6, and a month-old daughter. Thagard's youngest child is 15. Even so, Thagard frequently talked about how much he missed his wife and three sons while he was aboard Mir. He also announced from orbit that this is probably his last space flight. The psychological aspect probably loomed largest," said the holder of the U.S. space endurance record. There doesn't really seem to be big problems physiologically. I think anybody can do three months or four months as Tm doing. Six months, in my opinion, and longer is a different matter entirely." plains St. Thomas Sunck Ds Newman Clu classes - Retr 16 (accrc ^^LOOKING BE YOURS .

The professorship hon- ] ors the late Claude Neuffer, a USC Eng- : hsh professor who specialized in Southem and South Carolina writers and the study of local names and history. The professorship was established by Neuffer's family and friends and is awarded to a USC faculty member in a discipline related to Southern studies who has furthered the study of the South through exemplary scholarship, teaching and service. t1j if .rif a:i _ al_ 1 r^agar, a native 01 moDiie, Aia., nas taught Southern studies at USC since 1972. He has written, coauthored or edited 14 books, many of which document various aspects of South Carolina history. Edgar is currently working on a book, "A History of South Carolina," which is scheduled for publication in 1998. The book will be the first general history of South Carolina published since 1935. He has been awarded three National Endowment for the Humanities grants for a summer institute for South Car olina elementary and secondary school I teachers. He is former chairman of USCs Family Fund and has served on the board of directors of the USC Education Foundation. He founded and was the first director of USCs applied history program. Edgar will inaugurate the professorship with a public lecture about South Carolina's cultural history this fall. USC TV program receives Emmy "Technology Today," a technology selg for space Atlantis landed Friday at Kennedy Space Center a little before 11 a.m., bringing home Thagard and his two longtime Mir crewmates, Russian cosmonauts Vladimir Dezhurov and Gennady Strekalov. During the flight, the shuttle docked with Mir for five days high above Earth. Each man's wife and children was on hand to greet the astronauts. "The very first thing I probably want to do is to stand under a hot shower for a pretty long time. I've missed that," Dezhurov said in Russian. "And second thing, Fd like to meet with my family, with my kids, my wife, to talk, to socialize, take a little walk. To tell you the truth, I miss people pretty much and kind of the everyday Earth fife." It was much worse for Thagard, the first American to live on Mir.
