Dispute Rages over
Naming Rasmuson
To University Post
By JIM HUTCHESON
JUNEAU, (tf)—The controversy
over the confirmation of Elmer
Rasmuson, Anchorage banker, for
the University, of Alaska Board
of Regents because of Republican
legislators’ suspicion he might
support Gov. Gruening for the
university presidency overshad
owed other action of a quiet leg
islative day Monday.
A statement issued by the Third
Division Republican legislators
lauded Rasmuson personally but
said the legislators couldn’t sup
port an appointee “who is, or
might be, pledged to support a
person believed not to be quali
fied” for the university presi
dency.
Gov. Gruening commented, “I
can only say what I have said
before: I have not applied for the
university presidency and I shall
not make application.”
Rasmuson said earlier, in the
first exchange of wires with leg
islators, “The fabricators of your
so-called rumor know it is false
and designed for political confu
sion.”
He declared an advance com
mitment on what he might do
after reappointment as regent
would “drag the university into:
politics.”
Republican legislators said, to
the contrary, they wanted to keep
the university out of politics. The
legislators statement said:
“Republican legislators of the
Third Division feel Elmer Rasmu
son is one of the most highly qual
ified men in Alaska for the Board
of Regents. They were in unani
mous accord in the desire to con
firm his appointment.
“It was in good faith that the
legislators of the Third Division
advised Mr. Rasmuson of their
unanimous support for his ap
pointment, and it was with the
thought of keeping politics wholly
out of the university that he was
advised of the rumors regarding
his support of Gov. Gruening. It
was felt politics would certainly
be interjected into the university
administration by the appoint
ment as president of such a con
troversial political figure as Gov.
Gruening.
