College Head
Resigns Amid
Staff Squabble
CHENEY, Wash. UP Dr. Otis
W. 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.
