An Inside Man for the Job?
Selection of a new president for the University is moving
right along, Chancellor Charles D. Byrne of the state system of
higher education has indicated. Byrne estimates that the job is
roughly halfway done,, with three candidates receiving primary
consideration for the present time. These three will be inter
. viewed sometime this month.
In this whole intensive selection process, one point of some
interest is the role being played by possible candidates from
within the University itself. The identity of the 20 remaining
nominees, of course, has not and will not be released, in order to
protect those candidates from embarrassment in their present
positions.
But the possibility that some faculty men at the University
have been or are candidates lends some interest. During the
. summer the Eugene Register-Guard and the Portland news
papers carried stories of a “battle” between backers of Victor
P. Morris, now acting president ,and Orlando J. Hollis, dean
of the school of law, for the presidency.
The appointment of Morris as acting president makes it seem
likely, although not necessary, that he is no longer in the run
ning for the presidency. Whether or not Hollis is a candidate is
also unknown.
Morris has years of experience at Oregon; he is senior dean
• on the board of deans, representing the business school. He also
’ has a wealth of contacts, especially with businessmen. Hollis has
helped to further strengthen the law school at Oregon, as well as
representing the University in the Pacific Coast conference. He
helped in the management of the sound scholastic-first athletic
policy maintained by H. K. Newburn.
Two other men at the University come to mind as more or less
possibilities for candidates. They are Eldon Johnson, dean of the
college of liberal arts, and William C. Jones, dean of administra
tion under Newburn.
Both are capable men of sound thinking. Jones is now executive
director of the newly-formed western interstate commission,
with offices in Johnson hall. He may not be at all interested in
the Oregon presidency, and may never have been. Johnson’s
position, too ,is an unknown quantity.
These are not the only men at Oregon, of course, who could
be considered as potential candidates for the presidency. And
one or more of these may have never been interested, or never
nominated by the faculty advisory council or the board of
deans. Another factor is the interplay of the desires of pos
sible candidates and the objectives of those in a position to
influence the selection process.
The few personal applications for the job have all been elim
inated, since candidates are selected by nomination from the two
faculty groups. It is probable that these “self-starters” came
all or in part from men at the University.
As for the relative chances of “inside” men and outsiders, both
are treated the same, all other factors being equal, according to
Byrne. It is possible that someone already at the University of
' Oregon could be selected. A man like Hollis, for example, could
very conceivably be the choice for the job, although it is probable
that the kind of experience desired of the chief administrator
would be more likely found in a person with a higher position at
, some other institution.
FSFF Program To Begin Soon
Foreign students attending the
University of Oregon will have
• “homes away from home” when
L the sponsorship program of the
Eugene Foreign Student Friend
ship foundation gets underway
■ within the next two weeks.
Through this program foreign stu
dents on the campus will have fos
ter homes in Eugene.
It is hoped that foreign stu
dents will feel free to go to the
homes as part of the family and
. take part in the home activities,
according to Mrs. David Campbell,
FSFF president. This would be ac
cording to another step towards
helping foreign students gain a
better understanding of the Amer
ican way of life as well as giving
them a link with the community
in which they live, she said.
A wonderful response to the
program has been received from
the Eugene community, Commit
tee Chairman Mrs. Ross Griffeth
said. All foreign students will be
assigned to foster homes as soon '
as possible, she added.
Other projects planned by the ■
PSFF include tours, coffee hour
meetings, friendship teas, recep- i
tions and an open house at Christ- i
mas, Mrs. Campbell said. ]
[Letters to the Editor
II
Pi Kaps Protest
Emerald Editor:
An error which annoys the
men of this fraternity, and in
forms the public of the blunders
committed by your staff was
committed Tuesday, September
29, 1953. In an article on the
sports page we of this particular
chapter were referred to as both
the PI Phis and the PI Kapps.
Pi Kappa Phi Is a national
fraternity whose men are Iden
tified as Pi Kapps all over the
nation. This name has been
associated with our group for
fifty years throughout the
country, and is accepted by
the other national fraternities
as the one belonging to Pi
Kappa Phi.
It is recognized on this cam
pus that the Pi Phis are the
Pi Beta Phi sorority, and I am
sure that the Delts wouldn’t
mind playing football with
them as your article states,
but they just didn’t have the
opportunity.
If you wish to mock us, there
is little we can say except that
you will not gain an ounce of re
spect. If this was only an un
caught error, please see that it
never happens again.
Bud Marshall
President
(Ed. note: According to
Emerald style, 1*1 Kap|>a Phi is
referred to on the PI Kapn, PI
Kapim Alpha as the PI K A’a,
and PI Beta Phi ait the PI Phis,
to avoid eonfiwlon of the nick*
names of these houwn.
The sports article to which
the above letter refers carrl«>d
the name “li Haps” correctly,
hut the headline (“Dolt* Beat
PI Phis”) Inadvertently used
the wrong designation for PI
Kappa Phi’s nickname.)
Question Posed
Dear Bitter Student:
We found your letter In last
Friday’s Emerald an exceedingly
"spontaneous overflow of power
ful feelings." However, we have
one technical question.
In the third paragraph, you
explained how you would give
vent to your righteous Indig
nation, by declaring “I should
have stood on my own two
feet and kicked his face In.”
Our question is: How does one
stand on his own TWO feet and,
at the same time, kick someone's
face in?
