John Carlin confirmed Sunday in Topeka that among the job possibilities he might consider when his term of office ends in January 1887 is the presidency of State University, which becomes vacant a year from now. "I'm concentrating on completing my term as governor, but I'm not closing the door on any option that might come after my term ends," the governor said. "I will issue a press briefing issued through his press secretary. Michael Swornon." Sources indicated that Carlin might not apply personally for the KState presidency, but might allow his Duane Acker, who has held the K-State presidency since he was announced 27 June he will resign for July 1, 1986. Since Acker's announcement, speculation had surfaced that Carlin, a 1962 graduate of K-State with a bachelor of science degree, might be interested in succeeding Acker.
