ASU° constitution and the University congress plan issued
" Thursday s Emerald by the ISA senate, representatives of

hearted endorsement of the new government set-up at a meet
ing Friday.

z ‘uu independent students.

stitution as published in the Emer
alds for Tuesday and Wednesday

YMCA building and the Co-op
store Wednesday, March 6.
Jack Craig, chairman of the
congress committee, was asked by
the representatives from the
various veterans off-campus liv
ing groups to call a meeting of
representatives of independent
campus living organizations so that
the veterans could make clear
their views on the constitution.
Three members of the ISA senate
wnjre also at the meeting.
Clay Myers, representing the
single students living in Eu
gene, said, “At no time during
the last two terms have any
members of the ISA attempted
to contact off-campus units
for their opinions or for repre
sentation in tin- senate. They
therefore had no promise in
making the all-inclusive state

dents oppose the constitution.”
Supporting the ASUO constitu

from the Skinners Butte Villa, said,
“We are in favor of the constitu
tion because it will give us repre
sentation in campus affairs. The
congress proposal will enable the

This is it! “Spring Fling," the last

off in Gerlinger hall tonight at !)
p.m. Sponsored by Yeomen, the or

Cliff Brooks, Yeoman secretary.
Students are urged by dean of
men; Virgil Earl, to remain on the
campus tonight instead of attend
ing the Oregon-Oregon State bas
ketball game. Dean Earl's state
ment is based on the fact that the

modate the number of students
who would wish to see the final
basketball fracas of the season.
