When African-American students come to Georgia Southern, they often bring these views with them. Chad Elkins, Student Government Association president, also agreed with university officials that law enforcement agencies do not act any differently towards black social gatherings. Past events have led police to take extra precautions at events like Player's Ball. Last year's Player's Ball was much more orderly than the previous year's. As far as parties go, I don't think police act any differently.
Police always break up unauthorized parties, black or white.
This article is the last part of a series of race relation stories which were based on surveys and interviews conducted November 1997 in Assistant Professor Robert Bohler's advanced reporting course. Carter graduated in 1966 with a B.S. in mathematics from GSU and later earned his M.S. in management science from the U.S. International University and a doctorate in business administration from the University of Georgia. Carter was nominated by Jimmy Childre of Sandersville, Ga., who worked with Carter on the College of Business Administration Advisory Committee. I think he won because all people who have known him in all the various capacities would say he is a friend who works with no personal agenda and concerned about solving problems. Since returning to GSU in 1975, Carter has been everything from an assistant professor of management to the acting president of the university.
