Wagner, provost and professor at Utah State University in Logan, Utah, to seek Western's presidency. "I was captured by the notion of academic quality more than anything else," Wagner said at a press conference yesterday in Western's Old Main 340. As one of three presidential finalists, Wagner concludes his three-day campus visit today. The visit has included meetings with the Board of Trustees, the Presidential Search Committee, vice presidents, faculty, staff and student leaders. Wagner, who holds bachelor's and doctoral degrees in physics from the University of California at Berkeley, also teaches physics and electrical engineering at Utah State, where he has been since 1984. Before going to Utah, Wagner served as vice chancellor for academic affairs and was a physics professor for the University of Mississippi from 1981 to 1984. He was a visiting physics professor at the University of Alabama in 1980-81, and director and profes-sor at the U n i v e r s i t y of Maryland's Center for Environmental and Estuarine Studies from 1973 to 1980.

Wagner said although Western's academic orientation differs from that of Utah State, which is a land-grant university specializing in liberal arts, agriculture and engineering, the two universities share the common goal of providing students with a quality education. "The notion of bringing quality education to the sons and daughters of people who could not afford it otherwise, is very central (to both universities) and appeals to me a lot," Wagner said. Addressing a question regarding the status of Fairhaven College under his presidency, Wagner said although he believes "grades matter," he is not rigidly set against Fairhaven College's absence of an A to F grading system. "From what I read (Fairhaven College) sounds like a good organization. The ultimate test is how well do the graduates do? How fulfilled do they feel?
