In a shattering election eve move last night, the ASUO
executive committee swept the decade-Iotig class card contro
versy from the books bv making the class poll tax illegal,
refused anv freshman class the right to organize politically,
before winter term, and put teeth into its new two-point CrPA
activity requirement. None of the legislation, however, will
go into effect until next fall term.
It was one of the shortest, but most far-reaching, meet
ings this year's Torgeson-headed exec committee has held.
Traditional political problems were destroyed one after arw
other, as the 12 lawmakers assumed their constitutional power
to disapprove by-laws of class constitutions and wiped out all
legislation requiring class earns
for activity participation or vot
ing privileges.

Wes Sullivan Named

Wes Sullivan, junior in journalism, was selected editor of
the Oregana last night bv the educational activities board.
The new editor, w'ho has served this year as managing ed

start on the Portland Franklin
High Post, of which he was fea
ture editor. He was also sports
editor of his high school year
book.
His poems, signed J. W. S., are
a daily feature of the Emerald.
Sullivan is president of Camp
bell club and the inter-co-op
