Attacker Sentenced, Fined

After Parker Marden was tackled by Cornelius Horan in a bizarre incident, Manchester College has named Jo Young Switzer as the school's first female president.

Marden insists that the brush with Horan, a defrocked Irish priest, who has disrupted the British Grand Prix and other sporting events, did not have any influence on his descision to retire in June 2005. Switzer is a 1969 Manchester graduate and has been the school's vice president and dean for academic affairs since 1993. She is also a professor of communication studies at the college.

She previously taught communications at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. She has a master's degree and a doctorate in communications from the University of Kansas.
