No decision ready
on UO president
By TED MAHAR
Emerald News Editor
The State Board of Higher Education will definitely not
make a decision Tuesday concerning the new University
president, according to Chancellor John Richards.
“The Board is considering three candidates, and one will
be interviewed Tuesday,” Richards said, “but there will be
no decision by Tuesday. I don t know when the new presi
dent will be announced.”
Concerning the story Ln Sunday’s Register-Guard, Rich
USC places blame
on UO for prank
“The Oregon State College
Homecoming queen was kidnaped
from the campus Friday after
noon but returned unharmed two
hours later with a report—whol
ly expected—that University of
' Oregon students may have been
responsible,’’ states the "Oregon
I Journal.”
Steve Schell, ASUO president,
replied, "This kidnapping lacks
finesse, the finesse, I am sure
. Oregon students possess.” He
proceeded to say that it was
j unfortunate this abduction had to
happen and he felt someone was
trying to get into the act and
place the blame on the Oregon
jstudent body.
ARD1S HENRY of Seaside,
queen of the Homecoming cele
bration which got under way Fri
( day evening, said two young men
| lured her by force from her house
then forced her into a car. blind
colded her. and held her in a mo
tel at the edge of town. She was
released unhurt.
She got the impression they
were students from her rival in
stitution at Eugene, but they did
not identify themselves.
THREE YEARS ago the OSC
queen and two members of her
, court were likewise abducted and
i taken to Salem before they were
released.
Miss Henry said she was as
sured that she would be freed as
soon as Richard Seidman. OSC
student body president, got start
ed on the way to Eugene. Shortly
after the abduction, he got a
( rote telling him to get on a
i motor scooter and ride to Eugene
where the queen would ge turned
1 over to him, he told state po
lice.
ABOUT 6 p.m. her captors
called a taxi and sent Miss Hen
ry to her house in time to join
the evening's festivities.
Dist. Atty. John Fenner, OSC
Alumni Association president,
said “Civil authorities would take
no note of the affair,” thus writ
ing it off as a prank.

ards said, "I don’t know where
that came from. The reporter
might have interviewed some
members of the board."
A front-page story in Sunday’s
Register-Guard reported that
George Waggoner, 44-year-old
dean of the College of Liberal
Arts and Sciences at the Univer
sity of Kansas "is likely to be
named president of the Univer
sity . . . according to board mem
bers.”
VICE president of the State
Board, William E. Walsh, voiced
the opinion that “there is no one
j else ranking quite as high as he
(Waggoner) is."
Waggoner said nothing.
Sources supposedly close to the
president's office have said that
what Waggoner says during the
Tuesday interview will be the
determining factor of whether or
| not he will be the University's
next president. The job has not
been specificallly offered to any
i of the three candidates.
WAGGONER has confirmed
that he will be in Eugene Mon
day night. He has not yet met
formally with the State Board.
Waggoner has been at Kansas
; since 1954. He received both his
; bachelor’s and Master's degrees
i at Kansas. He received his PhD.
at the University of Wisconsin
I in 1947.
