BRIEF-- Cade loses in bid for UDC pres.

UDC's new president, announced this weekend by the Washington school, will be Tilden LeMelle, currently vice chancellor of the City University of New York. LeMelle was reportedly chosen over Cade because of his additional administrative experience, which includes service as acting president of both New York City Technical College and Hunter College. Cade, who has been at the University since 1978, is one of the University's top minority affairs administrators. She said this week that while she is disappointed by the decision, she is excited to continue working at the University. "I am looking forward to settling back down to work at Penn, to doing what I can for the students, faculty and staff," Cade said. "There's still a lot of unfinished work for us to do." She added that she has not given up hopes for assuming a school's presidency in the future, and she thinks her duties at the University have prepared her well for such a position. "The range of responsibilities I have here at Penn is really extraordinary," she said. "All of these have given me a perspective that is very, very rich." "I just feel so wonderful about all the support I got from the Penn community," she said. "I am confident that I will be number one real soon." -- Drew Zoller
