New V.P. To Be Chosen
By End Of Semester
By SCOTT TOLLEFSEN
The student-faculty special
committee charged with
finding a suitable replacement
for Vice President for Student
Affairs D. Alan Williams should
have its recommendation
finalized "just after the spring
break," according to the
committee's chairman, Faculty
Dean Robert D. Cross.
The new student affairs vice
president would then be
chosen before the end of the
current semester, subject to the
approval of University
President Edgar F. Shannon Jr.
Mr. Cross said yesterday
that his committee of "about a
dozen" members has been
meeting weekly since
mid-January in its efforts to
formulate a recommendation
for Mr. Shannon.
At the time of his
appointment to the committee,
Mr. Cross had indicated that
before any names were
considered, "all aspects" of the
job would be closely examined.
He noted yesterday that the
committee had completed
looking into those aspects. He
declined to release which
aspects the committee lists as
"most important," however,
commenting that "we may not
live up to these sorts of
guidelines when our
recommendation is given to the
President."
Mr. Cross said that the
committee has received
"between 300 and 400"
application for the job from
outside the University.
"Roughly 25" individuals
have been nominated from
within the University. Mr.
Cross noted that the "accepted
method of being nominated by
someone else" has kept this
total relatively low.
The committee chairman
revealed that the lists of both
applicants and nominees "have
been cut by considerably over
50 per cent."
When asked if any "public
figures" or "politicians" were
being considered for the
position, Mr. Cross replied that
all remaining candidates "have
great interest and expertise in
the field of higher education,"
