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

Gallman said by staying in touch
with victims and witnesses, he not only
can help them avoid having a "next
time," but also help the department
gain information to help others avoid
becoming victims.
"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. By being a witness, you are
doing the right thing."

Lisa Luedeman said.
"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.

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,

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

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."

14 books, many of which document
various aspects of South Carolina history.
Edgar is currently working on a
book, "A History of South Carolina,"

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

The four-part series, funded by the
Department of Energy, focuses on tecj

technological breakthroughs. The award
winning third episode featured fiber optic
technology that allows doctors to analyze
cancer cells with surgery.
