Rally
Continued from Pjge 1
employer, therefore this issue is
a big concern to the county.
"We have a popular president
with the University and the
community." he said. "And we
do not want to see a destabaliza
tion of this University which
will lead to years and years of
instability." Rust added that
Olum has been an outspoken
president and fighter for the
University and his dismissal
would be a "travesty and a
triumph for mediocrity."
Don Williams of the Alumni
Association emphasized that
Olum s energy and overt con
cern for the faculty, students
and the University are the
qualities that have attracted the
support of every single
organization. He added that
well over 100,000 alums are
solidly behind Olum. and that
he is not only well-liked, but
trusted and respected as well.
Linda Williams, representing
the Greek system, stressed the
respect that students feel for
Olum. “Paul Olum made the
University what it is today,"
she said. “Why should we lose
our strongest leader?" Williams
also questioned why four board
members should be able to
make a decision that affects
18,000 students.
Similarly, English depart
ment Chairman Paul Armstrong
termed the board's decision
"the deepest tragedy," as it was
made without consulting the in
dividuals who are most in
terested and on whom it will
make the biggest impact.
Organization representatives
who spoke at the rally stressed
how inappropriately the ex
ecutive board acted in making
such an "undemocratic,
backroom" decision In addi
tion to the lack of democracy,
the legality of the decision was
questioned as well
Associate journalism pro
fessor Tim Gleason said in an
interview that according to the
Oregon Public Meetings Law. a
committee such as the executive
hoard of higher education that
is planning a meeting must
publicly state the time, place
and topics to be discussed
Then, during the course of this
meeting a vote can be held to
determine the necessity of
holding a closed executive ses
sion to deliberate on a specific
subject. But, even in a closed
session, some type of records
must be kept. Gleason said.
When some type of consensus is
reached in private, a formal
recommendation would have to
be made in public.
"What we're lacking is any
record of when Olum was asked
to retire. This is exactly the kind
of thing that law is supposed to
stop." he said.
Whan asked about this deci
sion by rallying students in
front of Susan Campbell Hall.
State System of Higher Educa
tion Chancellor William Davis
stated that, "it was a discussion
over lunch in which retirement
dates were discussed." He add
ed that he supported the board's
right to make a decision, and he
was sorry it couldn't tie made in
a "dignified and graceful
manner.”
"We're not opposed to l)r
Olum. We just need to make a
change,” he said
