James Webb, former secretary of the Navy, is scheduled to speak at the University tonight for the 2004 Walter S. Sutton Ethics Lecture.
Former Navy administrator, author to discuss resignation
Webb became secretary in 1987 but resigned a year later because he didn't agree with a decrease in the Navy. Webb's willingness to put his profession on the line caused professors in the School of Business to become interested in bringing him to campus, said Toni Dixon, director of communications at the school.
JoEllen Wang, St. Louis senior, glued pieces of her architecture project together yesterday on the patio in front of the Signs of Life bookstore, 722 Massachusetts St. Wang was creating a model of a culinary institute and a farmer's market for an upcoming competition. "I can't believe we never thought of coming down here to work, it is a lot better than being in the studio," Wang said.
Webb served with the 5th Marine Regiment in Vietnam and received numerous medals and awards. He has also written six novels, including Fields of Fire about the Vietnam War and the story Rules of Engagement.
The lecture is at 7 tonight at the Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union. The event is free.
