With Holderman, the
university can keep moving
upward in the sphere of
higher education as USC
seeks to gain the reputation
it sorely needs as being a
recognizable, even
prestigious college. Without
him, USC would be robbed of
one of its greatest assets, a
leader who at least has a
vision for how this school
should be run.

The United States Nuclear

Ohio State University,
with its Big-10 budget
problems and 55,000 students
wouia nave oeen a tormidable
challenge for the
university president of five
years. Holderman, raised in
the Midwest, no doubt
thought about the prospect of
returning near to his home
and the $3,000 per year
salary increase. It would
have been a fitting job for
anyone pursuing top goals in
higher education administration.

OSU has, the job status alono

So, exactly what is the

This is why the whole OSU
affair was important. It
made people around the
country realize the worth of
a man like Holderman.
Because the matter was so
well publicized and drawn

wondered aloud if
USC would get a change of

taking his name off the OSU
list as a possible candidate,
Holderman did two things.
