Volume XLVII, No.1 Copyright 1975, The Louisville Cardinal Aug. 25, 26, 27, 1975 Various reasons cited SGA President Price resigns by Steve Wingfield Greg Price resigned Aug. 4 as President of the Student Government Association. Joe Fowler Jr., Executive Vice-President of the SGA, became President on Price's resignation. Fowler latter announced he WQuld not continue as SGA President (see story page 3). Price, the first U of L student body president elected to two consecutive terms said, in his letter of resignation he was resigning due to per~nal health considerations, academic pressures, and his financial condition . Price, a business student, is a diabetic. Prior to the resignation, several people connected with the SGA had been very upset with Price's performance, especially as concerns his handling of the vacancy in the office of SGA Academic Vice-President (see story page 2). Several senators said Price was dictating policy and expressing no other viewpoint in his decisions other than his own. Many expressed this belief and said Price had lost all effective power in the Student Senate. (fhe Senate meeting of August 5, at which Price's resignation was announced, had been called to consider a motion which called for an investigation of the administration of the SGA. (The motion was generally believed to have been aimed at Price, and might have led to his eventual impeachment.) Several people connected with the SGA said Price realized he has lost effective power in the Senate and resigned for this reason. Dean of Students Dave Lawrence said "his (Price's) downfall came from not allowing more participation from the senators." SGA Director of Public Relations Bob Eilers said "he was tryhlg to dictate policy and the senate wouldn't stand for it." Referring to Price's personal problems, Eilers added, "there were too many problems and they were all catching up to him." SGA Acting President Fowler said "with the combination of factors, it made him think it was the most opportune time to get out." Contacted by the Cardinal at his home in Uberty, Ky., Price said "the money and the grades were the two big things" in his decision to resign. About his relationship with the Senate, Price said,: "I don't know what happened, I don't know what the Senate had in mind." The sequence of events which led to Price's resignation started when several people connected with he SGA told Associate Dean of Students Harold Adams and Legal Affairs Officer Ed Paul that Price had removed some stockroom supplies from the SGA offices. This led to a meeting of several high Univeristy officials who determined the amount of supplies taken was not enough to justify prosecuting Price. A~ociate Director of Public Relations Jim McGovern called the amount of supplies "piddling." "Nobody wanted to put Price in jail, and they weren't sure the incident was illegal," McGovern added. "There was no reason to take him to jail; it was only a mistake on his part." Photograph by Carl Maupin Joe Fowler, New Student Senate President A decision was made at the meeting to confront Price with the accusation. The following day Dean lawrence, Adams and Paul met with Price. At that meeting Price sajd he was planning to resign. Lawrence said Price already had his letter of resignation drafted. Price told the Cardinal he had decided to resign two days earlier. Dean Lawrence said, "only his timing was affected by the stockroom supplies situation." lawrence added, "If we had crucified Greg (over the stockroom supplies) we'd have had to crucify several others." Price also agreed to return the stockroom supplies. Fowler, when asked if the Price resignation would hurt the SGA, said "the biggest detriment is losing Greg. lfc had super-potential." FowJer added he just didn't discharge the functions properly .. "It (the resignation) set the SGA back in the area of academics. The Senate has moved on m the area of service to students. The Senate has looked ahead." SGA Dire<.,tor of Public Relations Bob Eilers said "the former presence of Greg Price in the SGA will not be apparent this year." Former U of L President Woodrow M. Strickler dies by Debby Graves Former U of L President Woodrow M. Strickler died Friday morning, August 21, at Louisville's Baptist Hospital East. Strickler, who was 62 years old had been hospitalized for several days prior to his death. Dr. Woodrow Strickler Strickler was president of the University of Louisville from March 1968 to August 1972. He resigned the position three years ago, citing health as a primary reason for the decision. He had been hospitalized twice during the year prior to his resignation with a heart ailment. Word of Strickler's death reached Belknap Campus as U of L President James G. Miller was meeting with several members of the Jefferson County legislative delegation including Speaker of the House Norbert Blume and minority leader Eugene Stuart with whom Strickler had worked closely to bring U of L into the state higher education system. Dr. Miller said: "Woodie Strickler's passing has cast a shadow of sadness over this institution which he served for 37 years and in which he had many friends. He left the university firmly established in the state system and in a position to serve thousands· of young people who had never before had access to higher education. Those of us who remain here must continue to realize the great university which he envisioned for this community." Strickler, who received a Bachelors degree from Bucknell University in 1934, and a Masters of Business Administration from Northwestern in 1935, came to U of Lin 1938 as an instructor of economics. Eight years later he was named director of what was then the Division of Adult Education. ; Several major administrative jobs followed Strickler's director of adult education. He was vice-president 19 52 to 1958 when he was named executive vice-president. He served in that post for 10 years before succeeding former University President Phillip Grant David~n, who resigned in 1963. Strickler assumed the presidency when soaring costs and general hard times for higher education had forced U of L into serious economic straits. He engineered U of L's transition from a municipal t a state university and re-established the University on a solid financial base. Campus sources recall Strickler as a friendly, quiet man who ruffled few persons and who seemed to have a knack for reaching a goal with a minimum of fuss. Acquaintances describe him as a tireless worker who often ate lunch at his desk and who frequently visited his office on Saturday and Sum.lay. During Strickler's term, U of L opened a new I lealth Sciences Center replacing dental and medica] facilities dating to the early 1900's. Other buildings finished or begun during Strickler's presidency include the Life Sciences Building, the Kentucky Lions Eye Institute and U of L's first II~;Jmanities Building. Bucknell honored Strickler 's acaoemac and business accompJishments by awarding him an honorary Doctor of Pedagogy degree in 1956. U of L awarded him an honorary degree at commencement exercises this spring. In May the university named a major academic building after its former president. A private funeral ceremony wiJJ be conducted for Strickler in Pennsylvania_ The body will be crem~ted. The family requests that any expression of sympathy take the form of contributions to the Woodrow M. Struckler Fund of the University of louisville Foundation.
