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.”

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.

The bill also would require
employers to provide “a work
area reasonably free from
tobacco smoke" if a non-smok
ing employee requests it.
If the legislation is approved
by the House and signed by the
governor, it will be subject to
voter approval. If voters approve
it, the law will become effective
July 1, 1983.
The state Health Division will
be given $120,000 from the
cigarette tax to enforce the law
if the act is passed.
Earlier this week, Atiyeh
signed into law a bill that allows
approximately 11,000 unem
ployed Oregonians to collect
additional state benefits. The
program is expected to cost
$7.6 million.
