FOR CHANCELLOR
President of 0. S. C. Is in
Receptive Mood, Is Reve

By CLAYTON V: BKRNHARD
(Associated Press Correspondent)
SALEM, June 30. (AP) The nam
ing of W. J. Kerr, president of Ore-
"J gon State college, aa chancellor ot
J the two state Institutions in Oregon
was removed from a remote possi
bility to a favored certainty here
today by comments and Innuendos
from official sources. Although none
i ine oniciai sources wished to be
quoted, those "in the know" ex
pressed the opinion that Kerr would
be the chancellor.
New impetus to this belief was
given by information that c. L.
Starr, chairman of the state board
of higher education, had been in
conference several times with Presi
dent Kerr since his return from the
east on a chancellor seeking tour.
t No Announcement.
Starr and E. C. Sammons, a mem
ber of the board, returned several
days ago, but no announcement of a
chancellor has yet been made.
It was also learned here that
President Kerr had been approached
by other members of the board, and
was found in a receptive mood rela
tive to accepting the position If
proffered him. His selection like
wise would meet with favor on the
board, although which members
urged the selection was not an-
nounced.
v Governor Julius L. Meier and the
yt executive office have listened to
these suggestions, but the governor's
office announced the executive would
not take any part, preferring to re
main neutral In this matter.
Matter for Board.
The selection Is left entirely to
the state board of higher educa
tion and Its recommendations, it
was Indicated, would receive the ap
proval of Governor Meier.
The selection of Kerr would mean
that a man already familiar with
education problems In Oregon would
head the Institutions, rather than
bring In an outside educator whoi
was not acquainted with the prob
lems In Oregon, It was pointed out.
The establishment of headquarters
at Eugene, as is being planned, would
likewise take away much of the feel- I
ing of projudlce expressed because j
Kerr has been president of the Cor-
valll institution for 25 years, it;
was declared.
The naming of a chancellor Is ex-
4 vioftaH hv t.Vi hnnrri within the next
month, in accordance with the new
unified system of education being
worked out by the state board of
higher education.
