Bas the selection of Pierre as this? I'president, he said. Dr. William V. Muse “Any organization is only as good as the people who populate it,” he said. That statement, Muse added, rep resents one of the many les sons he has learned during the 17 or 18 years he has been an administrator. And many of the things that he w ill try to accomplish as vice chancellor will be through the selection and recruitment of outstand ing administrators, he said. Muse began his adminis trative career as head of the marketing department at Ohio State University. Before then, he taught at Georgia Tech University and received his MBA and Ph.D. from the University of Arkansas. Before coming to Texas A&M in the fall of 1979, Muse was dean of the business administration colleges at the University of Nebraska- Omaha and at Appalachian State University. While he has never been a student at Teyas A&M, Muse said he considers himself an Aggie. “1 don’t think anyone could be associated with A&M very long and invest themselves in the institution as I have done, without feeling they’re an Aggie,” Muse said. “I prob ably feel closer to A&M as an institution than any other in stitution I’ve been associated with. I’m proud to be an Aggie.” He said he has great hopes for the future of Texas A&M.. The University’s main assets, Muse said, are its students, alumni, faculty and monetary resources. “Of all the institutions I have been associated with, A&M by far is the best,’’ he said. “I think it clearly has the potential to become one of the leading academic institutions in the country.” Within 10 years, Muse said, Texas A&M and the Universi ty of Texas both could be on everyone’s list of the top ten universities in the country.
