Alumnus says athletic board should quit
By DARRELL PRESTON Staff Reporter
A KU alumus, saying that he was dissatisfied with the KU athletic department, write a letter to Chancellor Gene A. Budig this week asking for the resignation of the board that oversees athletics at KU.
The alumnus, Bud Gollier, Ottawa physician, said recently that he wrote the letter to protest the committee Budig appointed to find a replacement for Jim Lessig, former KU athletic director who resigned last week to become commissioner of the Mid-American Conference.
Gollier said that appointing the same search committee after Lessig had stayed at KU only six months "did not make any sense."
GOLLIER'S LETTER also criticized the University of Kansas Athletic Corporation board for playing "musical athletic directors and musical football coaches."
"There can be no question that the immediate need is the resignation of this ineffective and unreliable board," the letter said.
He said that in past years he had contributed to the Williams Fund, the KU athletic department's fund-raising branch, but he said he told them recently not to expect a pledge for next year.
"I don't know ^^ but they can do to get me interested again, but right now, I'm not interested."
BUT LESSIG said he did not think his resignation after only six months
"Alumni giving is done because of loyalty to the University, although winning and losing also have an effect," he said.
Bob Frederick, Williams Fund director, said some contributors had expressed concern about Lessig's resignation after serving only six
months as athletic director. But, he said, there has not been widespread interest in his work.
"Yes, there have been a few complains," he said. "A lack of continuity is obviously a concern. Some alumni said they thought Lessig had used KU as a stepping stone, but I don't think he did.
"I TTHNK the selection committee made an excellent choice with Lessig. He was always working to develop a curriculum that is a primary job of an athletic director."
"Of course, its hard to evaluate him because he wasn't here that long."
Gary Padgett, Greenleaf banker and alumni representative on the KUAC board, said he had been satisfied with Lessig.
"I thought he worked very well with the alumni. I saw him throughout the state, and he seemed to have a good rapport," Padgett said.
"I don't think you can blame the
search committee for Jim Lesig's leaving. He has a right to go. I'm disappointed that I don't know the reasons that he left."
GOLLER SAID the University needed an athletic director who had had experience with a competitive sport.
Padgett said that although experience with the school would be good, it would be better to hire someone from another conference.
"We need somebody who has a sense of tradition and history in this area," he said, "somebody who knows the background and the school in general."
"He can probably do a better job run if he has had a wide variety of experience."
The next athletic director would have to have business and administrative experience and the ability to communi-
cate with students, staff, alumni and
students, Padgett said.
"And most important, he would have to be a man of high integrity," he said.
