Parties Eschew 'Dirty Politics7
Campus political parties issue countercomplaints yesterday after
both USA and AGS campaign posters were torn down Monday night.
Walt Freauff, president of USA, stated the signs were torn down
“between one and two a.m. Whoever did it left all the AGS posters
intact.”
In a counter-statement, Mike Madden, co-campaign chairman for
AGS, noted that "a number of AGS posters were also torn down during
the night. As for the USA posters, the AGS had absolutely nothing to
do with tearing them down. We eschew such action, and are very sorry
that this came up.” •
Meanwhile, ASUO President Bob Allen informed the Emerald that
the ASUO executive council has passed a by-law requiring all cam
paign literature to be taken down soon after elections by the parties
putting the posters up.

Young Demos
Urge Change
In Constitution
By Walter Dodd
The Young Democrats of Oregon,
meeting in the annual state con
veniton in Eugene, Saturday and
Sunday, urged the calling of a con
stitutional convention for the
streamlining of the state constitu
tion.
In other activities Bob Davis, a
University junior was re-elected
president of the state group. How
ard Morgan, Democratic represen
tative from Clackamas county key
noted the convention Saturday af
ternoon. C. Girard Davidson, as
sistant secretary of the interior,
addressed the convention on the
Columbia Valley Administration.
Davidson termed the warning of
a coming octopus of federal con
trol in the proposal for the Colum
bia Valley Administration “mis
guided understanding and mali
cious propaganda which is at
tempting to defeat the proposal.”
Davidson stated the home rule
demands were a false issue. “Right
now you have to go to Washing
ton, D. C., for consultation—an ex
pensive and difficult procedure.
Under a Columbia Valley Adminis
tration, headquarters would be es
tablished in this region and its
three directors would be required
to undertake consultation with lo
cal groups."
Other officers elected by the
Young Democrats were: John
Winkler, Portland, first vice-presi
dent: Dale E. Gibson, Salem, sec
ond vice-president; John O. Chatt,
Eugene, third vice-president; Alan
I Carson, Jr., Salem, fourth vice
I president, Marion Foster, Oswego,
fifth vice-president; William Link
later, Eugene, sixth vice-president;
June Dryden, Klamath Falls, sev
enth vice-president; and David
Cromwell, Corvallis, eighth vice
president. Henry Aiken, Jr. was
elected treasurer.
