Maintaining secrecy is "paramount" to
selecting an administrative candidate,
according to the NU- Presidential Search
Committee chairman.
Paul Schorr III explained that publish
ing presidential candidates names was
detrimental to both the candidate and
UNL.
Press leaks last October revealed the
six candidates names on the coixsmittee's
first list of presidential nominations. When
the NU Board of Regents was unable to
decide on a permanent replacement for
outgoing NU president D.B. Varner by
Jan. 1, the committee begaa its task a
second time, according to Schorr.
A second list of six candidates was
presented to the regents in late March,
resulting in last Saturday's appointment of
Ronald Roskens as NU president. ' .
Roskens agreed with the regents' and
search committee members c sinents that
search committee Work should be con
ducted entirely in private.
Roskens was informed he was being
considered as permanent NU president two
days prior to his appointment, according
to Simmons, but knowledge of his consi
deration was not discovered by the press.
Roskens said he will encourage secrecy
in the search committee for a new UNO
chancellor. Tuesday afternoon Roskens
selected the 1 5-member committee to re
place ; interim UNO chancellor Herbert
Garfinkel.

Nearly nine months of secrecy hindered
by press leaks, pouring over at least 180
candidate possibilities and uncountable
hours of work, according to members of
the NU Presidential Search Committee.
The search committee concluded their
work in late March when they submitted
their second list of six presidential
candidates to the NU Board 'of Regents,
according to committee member Diane
Korinek. '
Saturday the regents appointed Ronald
Roskens NU president. Roskens had
previously served as interim NU president
since Jan. 1.
The committee was - appointed by
Omaha Regent James Moylan when former
NU President D.B. Varner announced his
resignation June 26, 1976. When the
regents were unable to produce a
permanent replacement by the end of
Vomer's term, the search committee began
their work anew, committee member Paul .
Schorr said.
"We moved along relatively rapidly,"
Schorr said, considering his committee
actually did their job twice.
Schorr estimated-the committee review
ed the names of at least 180 candidates
through both of their searches.
Names of prospective candidates were
obtained from a variety of sources.
Advertisements in the Chronicle of Higher
Education and nominations from alumni,
faculty and students produced the majority
of candidate - possibilities, according to
Schorr.
Information on each of the nominees
is compiled into a booklet and presented
to the search committee, Korinek said.
The committee reviews the booklet, tele

giving comments on the research they have
done, Korinek said.
"We never talked to a candidate," she
said. "It was always, to people who knew
about them." ... .
. The committee narrows the list to six
candidates, and forwards that list to the
regents for their consideration, Korinek
said. ;
Schorr praised the efforts of the
committee, adding he found it hard to
believe any of the 15 members would
leak candidate information to the press.
"We got the very best president we
could have found," Schorr said. Nebraska
is terribly fortunate to have people of the
caliber ot Roskens, he said, adding Roskens
surpassed the qualifications of the other
five candidates. '
committee, said he feels his prior exper
ience will help him in his new position.
'The best thing to do is to be as close
mouthed as possible," said Stolen, UNO
Faculty Senate president.
Lincoln regent Ed- Schwarzkopf said
out of fairness to the other candidates
under consideration, secrecy is absolutely
necessary when selecting a new adminis
trator. Publication of candidates can influence
future job possibilities, Schwartzkopf said.
Scottsbluff regent Robert Simmons
echoed Schwartzkopf s feelings.
He said the regents have reason to
believe the six ; candidates whose names
were leaked received promotions or raises
to keep them in their current jobs when
their names were published last October.
"If there was a leak this time, it didn't
get published," Simmons said, adding he
did not know how information leaked out.
Simmons said he has drafted an outline
for future search committees to follow,
"to see that this long procedure doesn't,
take so long again."
"It's a matter of procedure, not sub
stance," Simmons said. He explained, his
plan would authorize the NU president
to begin advertising immediately when
an administrative office vacates, while the
regents would be responsible for appoint
ing a search committee.
Simmons said he hopes to present his
plan at the May 21 Regents meeting and
thinks it will not receive much opposition.
