Based on most reports the chief appeal of Mr. Drake was his race and reputed achievements from the land of
Oz. One should keep in mind that since the passage of the Civil Rights Act during the Johnson Adm. there have
been ample opportunities for blacks to advance in our society so one does get weary of accounts such as those
associated with the new President, or the comments of the Black Studies Chm. And I wonder if Drake was the
first choice of the Board of Trustees ? Some of the other candidates ? Suspect that Mr. Drake will have a
difficult time relating to the basic conservatism of present OSU students and alumni ,
