Eric Hiltner | The Daily Eastern News Elaine Hairston, of Academic Search Inc., explains to the members of the Student Senate about the process of finding a new president for Eastern on Wednesday evening in the Arcola- Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union. » President from page 1 non sequitur | wiley miller

Committee Chair Robert Webb agreed. “We have a president now that’s very strong in relationship building,” he said. “I think that’s very critical.” Diane Hoadley, dean of the Business College, added that the next president should also exemplify Hencken’s ability to work as a team. “I would like that person to see that he or she is going to lead a team and not see this as an individual effort,” she said. Also, a characteristic of Eastern that the committee said the new president would need to fit into is the sense of tradition at the university. “Something that is a strong suit at this institution is that we really know who we are,” Hoadley said. Faculty Senate Chair Assege Haile Mariam said even though we have those strong traditions, the next president must be strong enough to still enforce change when it is needed. new york times crossword puzzle | edited by will shortz “This is a very mature institution with a strong history of tradition,” Haile Mariam said, adding, however, that there are still Across 25 Some breakfast 48 Hymn with the 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 areas that need improvement. 1 Newspaper orders, quickly lyric “Bring me 14 15 16 “We tend to be somewhat resistant to change,” said Jill Nilsen, foreign news my chariot of 28 Pianist called a vice president for external relations. desk fire!” 17 18 19 Hairston said she would take the comments from the committee 5 Some term life “clown prince” 50 Screenplay to develop a draft of the position profile and present it to the insurance offers 20 21 22 32 Play element committee at their next meeting to be fine-tuned. 9 Monroe’s 23 24 52 Candle site Hairston also said a presidential search Web site will be set up co-star in “The 34 Juliet’s vengeful 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 at Eastern to keep the community informed of the committee’s Seven Year cousin 56 Successor to progress.

Another election day in the books and another sports star has found his way into politics. After the glory days of the playing fields are long gone and the fan mail has stopped pouring in, some ex-professional athletes just don’t know what to do with themselves. Some get into broadcasting, some coaching, others become bricklayers (aka William “the Refrigerator” Perry). But now it seems more and more athletes choose politics as their route back into the limelight. It could be the huge amount of personal wealth or all the free time that retiring in your 30s allows. Or the vast network of friends and connections, but ex-sports stars are winning elections and they have the chance to be something unique in American politics.
