Clark:

How did it turn out?

Q:

They had all viewpoints. One might say, I don't want to be called nigger, and somebody saying, but that's the way they were called-- you were called in those days. I think they're trying to be even-handed.

Clark:

Sure. They generally do.

Q:

Yes, I believe the group of students-- I don't recall the teachers, it may have been their teacher who was with them there, but then there were other teachers-- it must have been assembled for that for this direction.

Well, are there any other comments you'd like to make about your tenure on the Board of Regents?

Clark:

No. No. I'll be happy when this year is over and I can retire from the Regents with self-respect, I hope. I'm sort of tired now too.

Q:

What if they ask you to stay on?

Clark:

Oh, no. I mean, I won't stay on, it's a sure one. I really am tired.

Q:

Yes. Twenty-one years is a long time.
