NAACP seeks new leader;
group may tap Shinhoster
Washington (AP) - The
NAACP began looking Sunday
for a new leader and tried to
measure how much damage
Benjamin Chavis’ painful
ouster had caused its reputa-
tion in the world of civil rights.
The NAACP turned to its
interim administrator, Earl
Shinhoster, 42, who had com-
peted against Chavis for the
executive director post.
Shinhoster, NAACP national
field secretary, met Sunday
with a board-appointed com-
mittee to come up with a short-
term plan for handling day-to-
day operations until a new
executive director is hired.
“What I am trying to do is
get all the parameters together,
and resolve them in my own
mind,” Shinhoster said before
the meeting. He declined fur-
ther comment.
Meanwhile, a worn but defi-
ant Chavis picked up the rem-
nants of a black leadership
summit that was to start
Sunday in Baltimore but was
postponed by the NAACP. He
pledged not to “let the lynching
that took place here to stop
us.”
“This is not in response to
my firing. Everybody’s in town,
ready to go forward,” he told
NBC-TV’s “Sunday Today.”
Instead of meeting at NAACP
headquarters in Baltimore, the
gathering was shifted to nearby
churches.
Stephen Saur gets teaching award
Phi Kappa Phi inducts 69 at spring banquet
Muslim stronghold captured
Sarajevo, Bosnia-
Herzegovina (AP)
Thousands of panicked resi-
dents fled their homes and
flooded the roads of northwest
Bosnia on Sunday after govern-
ment troops captured the
stronghold of a rebel Muslim
leader.
U.N. officials said 22,000 to
25,000 — and maybe more —
had streamed northward into
Serb-held areas of neighboring
Croatia.
Thousands were trapped
without shelter in no-man’s
land between Croatian troops
and rebel Serb soldiers.
Red Cross officials delivered
water and emergency rations to
those sandwiched between Serb
and Croat troops.
The National Honor Society
of Phi Kappa Phi inducted 69
Lamar University juniors and
seniors at its Spring Initiation
Banquet May 12, according to
Sam Gwynn, president of
Lamar’s Phi Kappa Phi chap-
ter.
Seniors elected to member-
ship rank in the upper 10 per-
cent of their graduating class.
Juniors rank in the top 5 per-
cent of their graduating class.
Former Beaumont Mayor
Evelyn Lord was guest speaker
at the ceremony, .conducted in
Gray Library.
Stephen C. Saur, assistant
professor of social work in the
department of sociology, social
work and criminal justice, was
named recipient of the 1994 Phi
Kappa Phi Teaching
Effectiveness Award. The
award carries a stipend of
$1,000.
Saur came to Lamar in 1988.
He earned his bachelor’s
degree from the University of
Iowa and his master’s degree
from Florida State University.
He has completed 60 hours
of post M.S.W. study at
