Freeman resigned Thursday as president of Eastern Washington College of Education; which has been embroiled in a hot campus fight between the faculty and the administration. Freeman, president of the teach er college since 1951, said "This is not a decision of the moment because I have long planned to terminate my teaching career in 1954 on reaching 65". Freeman said Clark Frasier, vice president of the school, would also resign that job but wishes to stay on as director of student teach ing. The Board of Trustees at the school upheld Freeman and Ath letic Director W. B. (Red) Reese last week in the month-long con troversy. They fired 16 faculty members and accepted seven other resignations. The faculty had voted "no con fidence" - in. both Freeman and Frasier after a committee reported it found Reese used, pressure in an attempt to get a masters degree at Eastern. The faculty claimed the adminis tration was a party to "unethical procedures" in Reese's behalf. Reese, past president of the Na tional Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), denied he had used pressure. So did the adminis tration. They said his listing in the summer catalog as having a mas ters degree was an honest mis take. It was later deleted and Reese withdrew as a candidate for the degree. Gov; Arthur B. Langlie ordered an independent investigation of the affair last week after the board upheld Freeman and Reese. Freeman said he will stay on until the board finds a successor.
