Olum likely pick for top job i ne university s new president will be named today following a meeting of the State Board of Higher Education at 9 a m. According to reports, acting Pres. Paul Olum will be announced as the new president during a conference call state board meeting. The board's choice will be announced officially following the meeting, according to Dick Zita, the board's public services director. Olum said at his monthly press conference Thursday that he has not been offered the job and has not negotiated with Chancellor Roy Lieuallen. Olum said he would not know until today who will be named president. However, local newspaper and television accounts reported insiders as saying Olum is the priority choice of a majority of board members and will be the next president. Olum would not comment on the reports. Olum said his interview at Portland State University Tuesday had gone well and had been "an interesting exper ience.” If offered the University position, he said he would accept it. When asked if there were any advantages to having almost a year of experience as acting president, Olum said he thought it helped to be "an insider” who understands higher education’s financial and legislative problems. When asked about his future if he isn't named president, Olum said, "Ask me that again Friday afternoon.” Photo by Steve Dykes Paul Olum Legislative round-up Violence not answer, Gov. says By GREG WASSON Of the Emerald SALEM — Following Monday’s assassination attempt of Pres. Reagan, Gov. Vic Atiyeh charged that violence isn't the way to settle political differ ences. The governor was asked Thursday if that principle ex tended to the Reagan adminis tration’s support of the military junta in El Salvador, which by most reports systematically em ploys torture and assasination. “I’m talking about the government that we have and our system,” responded Atiyeh. “That’s to what I was making reference. As a governor and as an American, I can only deal with Oregon and United States problems. My job is to improve the system that we have here and I’m going to devote my at tention to that." Atiyeh was then asked if it was realistic to expect individuals in this country not to use violence as a political tool when the government employs it in inter national relations. “I’m not sure that people are going to use international policy as an excuse for acts in the United States,” the governor r said. "Nor have I thus far seen that to be the case. "And I would hate to see an yone indicate that that should be the case; that because we are doing something elsewhere, therefore it’s legal in the United States,” Atiyeh said. "The Unit ed States has its own philo sophy, policy and laws and I think all Americans need to abide by those laws.” On the issue of limiting Japanese auto imports, a move that would cost Portland dock workers jobs, Atiyeh said he believes any trade restrictions eventually will hurt the country. "I also believe, very strongly, that the auto industry has been out of tune with what we as Americans want. If American manufacturers provide what Americans want their going to buy them. We don’t have to have trade barriers of any kind,” Atiyeh said. In the Legislature Thursday, the Senate approved placing a proposal to restrict smoking in public places on the next primary ballot. The bill exempts bars and taverns, tobacco stores, and restaurants seating less than 30 people. Most other businesses would be required to provide designated non smoking areas.
