I i 23, 1966 University President Tags News Reports "Just Talk" By ED FREAKLEY Tar Heel Co-Editor President William C. Friday of the Consolidated University of North Carolina has labeled reports that he is being con sidered for a Washington post as "just talk, at this time." Reports say that Secretary of Health, Education and Wel fare John Gardner wants Friday to fill the post of assistant secretary for education. A spokesman for HEW contacted in Washington yesterday said that office had "no knowledge of the matter." He said the appointment for the assistant secretary for education will be made by President Johnson. Friday was in Washington yesterday meeting with the board of directors of the American Council on Education of which he is president. He is also meeting with representatives of the National Science Foundation and the executive board of the White House Fellows of which he is chairman. Friday said his trip had nothing to do with HEW. Monday, Friday said, "I don't want to mislead anyone. The whole thing is very much in the air right now, and that's all I'm able to say at this time." Although the offer has not been formally made, Friday is said to be under strong consideration for the post which is being vacated by Francis Keppel. Keppel, former commissioner of education, resigned the post to take the presidency of a private firm which develops educational equipment and teaching systems. A spokesman for Gardner's office said yesterday that the department is receiving letters of endorsement for several men being considered for the post. The assistant secretaryship is a key post in the growing educational bureaucracy in Washington. By direction of President Johnson the assistant secretary is chairman of the government-wide coordinating committee on educational programs. He has authority which goes beyond de partmental lines, and strong advisory connections with the President. Gardner, who headed the Carnegie Corporation before heading HEW, worked with Friday through the corporation's support of various educational activities in North Carolina, as well as through Friday's role as President of ACE.
