  • THURSDAY JANUARY 9, 1975 THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN Page 3 Does NeCSeU. want Robinson? WCU Chancellor Harold Frank Robinson said Monday he did not know if he was being considered for the North Carolina State University chancellorship. But he said he would be surprised if he was not being considered. Last week, the Raleigh News and Observer named Robinson and four others as the top candidates for the job being vacated June 30 by Dr. John T. Caldwell, who has been there for 15 years. Caldwell, 62, announced his retirement Nov. 1 last year. Reportedly, he is retiring for a rest and due to his wife's poor health. Asked if he would take the job, Robinson said, "I work for President (William C.) Friday," head of the North Carolinja state universities. "Only if Mr. Friday told me to go do something different would I consider it." Robinson said it was premature to be discussing the matter and said he did not know who nominated him. Robinson has been chancellor here for seven months. Should he go to State, it would be the sixth time in less than four years that a person left the WCU chancellorship for various reasons. Walter L. Smith, chairman of the N. C. State chancellor search committee, would not comment on Robinson's chances of becoming chancellor there. He said 140 people had been nominated for the position. He said here were rules against disclosing names. "We've got to operate in a very high degree of confidentiality," said Smith, "It would be embarrassing to someone trom some school who had applied and his name leaked out." When Robinson was in Cullowhee last year being interviewed for the post he now holds, he said no one at Purdue, where he was then provost, knew that he was at Western. Others named by the News and Observer to be under consideration were: —Former North Carolina Governor Robert W. Scott! —Dr. Charles Edwin Bishop, former NCSU professor, vice president of the UNC system, chancellor of the University of Maryland, and since last spring, president of the University of Arkansas. —Dr. William Turner, one-time state secretary of the Department of Administration and now a vice chancellor at NCSU, and —Dr. J. E. Legates, dean of the NCSU School of Life Sciences. Robinson, 57, received his B.S. and M.S. in plant breeding at N. C. State. He taught at NCSU for 17 years and later was director of the Institute of Biological Sciences and assistant director of the Agricultural Experiment Station there. He left NCSU in 1968 after being there fore 28 years. Smith said Scott's name had been acknowledged by the committee as a candidate because it was common knowledge. He said the committee hoped to submit two or more names to the UNC Board of Governors no later than June 1. The search committee is composed of four of N. C. State's trustees, the student body president, the president of the alumni association, two deans and three professors. Robinson names Wilson special assistant Dr. J. Stuart Wilson, vice chancellor for academic affairs at WCU for the past two years, will be pulled from that position and made special assistant to the chancellor, Dr. II. F. Robinson said Monday, The change is scheduled to become effective on Feb. 1. Already a search committee has been formed to find a replacement for Wilson. When asked about his removal yesterday, Wilson said he could not comment on the matter, nor could he say why he could give no information about the matter. Robinson said Wilson would be given "a number of. responsibilities as special assistant, but he did not know what they would be. He would not say what his salary was to be and indicated it was not a permanent position. Doyle Dillard, vice chancellor for business affairs, also would not say what the new position's salary was to be although he acknowledged that it was public information. Robinson said Wilson had indicated a desire to move from the university, but Wilson again would make no statements. Recently, Wilson purchased a house in the University Heights development. Robinson said the vice chancellors "served at the pleasure of the chancellor." He would not indicate whether he anticipated any other replacements. In forminga search committee for Wilson's replacement Robinson said the academic vice chancellor "should be the alter ego of the Chancellor." For that reason, he said the next vice chancellor would "be my choice." Robinson has the Chancellor's Advisory Committee helping him screen the appli cants for the position, but he cautioned them that "the final decision will of necessity, be mine." He did indicate, however, that he would not pick anyone the committee seriously opposed. Wilson, long a controversial figure a Western Carolina, became vice chancellor under Dr. Jack K. Carlton. The method used in his selection was one of the focal points of a considerable faculty opposition to Carlton. The' faculty leaders said they were not given an adequate voice in the selection. Despite being plagued by his ties with Carlton, Wilson did act to create several new course offerings at Western and added several degrees in certain studies. Wilson is an English professor and has classes this quarter. Dr. J.
