Holdermon Ti
From the time Ohio State University officials asked USC
President James Holderman to visit their campus this
summer, Ohio and South Carolina news sources had him
pegged as the leading candidate in OSU's search for a new
president.
Holderman, who eventually turned down OSU's offer,
won't confirm or deny that he was number one on OSU's list.
But he admits to having had "very serious discussions" with
OSU trustees.
"Some time ago they (OSU officials) c led me and asked
me would I be interested in being cor idered (as a candidate),
and I told them no, 1 wouldn't. I wasn't looking for a

However, osb called back to say, "we aren't going to take
no for an answer," Holderman said. So, after agreeing to talk
to the search committee, Holderman and his family were
f flown to Ohio.
"Then it got pretty serious," Holderman said, "but still, 1
wasn't looking for a job. I think they would have offered me

more (money) than I make here, but that wasn't a principal
consideration."
Holderman withdrew his name from consideration June 1,
and OSU's attempts to woo him out of Carolina country and
into Buckeye territory had failed.
"One of the phrases the Ohio State people used over and
over again was 'let's awaken the sleeping giant and bring it
to I'fe,' " Holderman said. The OSU "giant" sleeps on 3,500
acres, has about 35,000 students and an annual budget of
more than $500 million. Holderman said USC trustees used
the same Dhrase at one time, so it seems logical for OSU to
have named Holderman a candidate for the job of waking a
giant ? he did it here.
The 45-year-old Holderman has brought Carolina international
fame by aiding in the creation of the James F.
Byrnes International Center and by bringing several foreign
dignitaries to USC for the Byrnes Center opening this year.
Among those dignitaries was Jihan el Sadat, wife of Egyptian
President Anwar el Sadat.
