The appointments committee sought to fill 20 Years of Tradition the temporary vacancy with a Black person, abiding by the College's commitment to affirmative action. Colonial Restaurant: End of an Era The search ended early in April, when the appointments committee recommended, and the faculty concurred, that a Richmond attorney, JeRoyd X Greene, be offered appointment as a visiting associate professor. The Dean of the law school, James P. Whyte, Jr., wrote Greene to make an offer, subject to the later issuance of a binding faculty contract. Greene accepted. President Graves indicated that Greene's professional record, which was marked by six contempt-of-court citations in the past three years, was not appropriate for appointment to the faculty of a law school of high professional quality. Dean Whyte and Dr. George R. Healy, Vice President for Academic Affairs, visited Greene on April 30 to advise him that he might not be appointed to the faculty, and to invite him to withdraw from consideration. Greene replied that he would not withdraw. About 10 days later, word of Greene's possible appointment made its way into the news for the first time. That same day, the Chairman of the State Senate's Finance Committee, Edward E. Willey of Richmond, fired off an irate letter to Dean Whyte which threatened, in effect, to damage the law school's State funding if Greene were appointed. The letter, which Sen. Willey A4 .. released to the news media the next day, Ed O'Connell (left) and Jim Seu '53 will close their popular Colonial Restaurant near Cary Field this fall and move to a is being widely criticized as inappropriate new location on the Newport News side of Williamsburg.
