Not many Chancellor positions make Yahoo front page news

www.yahoo.com

This is the first time I ever remember seeing a chancellor position make national news, but here is LSU pulling off that feat. Of course others may have but I just did not care enough for it to register.
This potential hiring of O'Keefe is already generating publicity for LSU :thumb:

Just in case you click on this and it has moved, here is the story.

LSU Chancellor

 

I saw this was the lead on the news in New Orleans...pretty good stuff.

 

He's the Director of NASA. It would be front page news if he was going to be Chancellor of Ypsilanti State.

 

SabanFan.......no big deal but his title is Administrator of NASA. Hey has LSU had any astronauts. I have known most of them but can't remember an LSU grad. Auburn has had 7 so since I can't brag about NCs maybe I shold start bragging about astronauts :grin: :grin:

 

Note that he is a candidate. There is a search committee chaired a Joel Tohine (I assume you guys know who he is) that will meet this Thursday. O'Keefe will make his case for the job at that time. He will probably get the job because he has the backing of some key people in the LSU power structure.

 

Those monkeys that NASA sent up were Auburn grads??? :grin: :grin:


Auburn Class of 1960.

 

I forgot those so that makes us have 9 :grin: :grin:

Actually I don't know if this one is Able or Baker but they are both buried in a very visible place with a little marker at the Alabama Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville.

 

ok was I the only one who didn't know the names of the freaking space monkeys??

please tell me you had to at least google search for those.

 

The fact that LSU doesn't offer an aerospace engineering program would tend to explain why we haven't had any.

Seven from Auburn, its nice to know that just about anyone can become an astronaut. :wink: :wink:
