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.

Annual ACU-I Qualifying
Committee sponsors play

by Tracey Taylor
Battalion Reporter
Today is the first day of na
tional Black History Month and
the MSC Black Awareness Com
mittee is sponsoring a series of
events on the Texas A&M cam
pus to mark the occasion.
The committee kicks off its
celebration of the national event
at 8 p.m. tonight in Rudder
Forum with a performance of
the play “Can I Speak For You
Brother?”
The play, which has toured
the nation since 1979, is a one-
man show depicting the lives of
nine great black American lead
ers, including Martin Luther
King, Frederick Douglass, Mal
colm X, W.E.B. Dubois and
High John.
The play is produced by San
Francisco’s African American
Drama Company and stars Phil
lip E. Walker, an actor of televi
sion and commercial fame.
Walker has a long history of
performances in black aware
ness plays. He toured with the
San Francisco Mime Troupe
playing the lead in “Squash”and
gained critical acclaim for his
portrayal of Mr. Parker in U.C.
Davis’ production of “Cere
monies In Dark Old Men.”
Black History Month was ex
panded from Black History
Week during the sixties. The
event orginally was designated
to honor the work of Carver G.
Woodson, the second negro to
earn a doctorate degree.
