New Constitution Scheduled
For Test at Polls Wednesday
By BOB FUNK
Wednesday the student body will
vote “yes” or “no” on the adoption
of a new constitution.
As simple as that yet not quite.
The new constitution is not, fortu
nately, just a device of campus
. politicians to while away spring
term until election hair-pullings
CRn begin.
” It is, in fact, a well-considered
document which has the backing of
many leaders in student govern
ment as well as leaders of both
campus political parties.
And the reason for this new con
stitution is also fairly simple--thc

old constitution had become out
dated. The University had grown,
and those in charge of student gov
ernment were overloaded with the
dual activities of both legislative
and administrative nature.
The most outstanding- feature of
the new constitution is probably
the solution of that overloading.
The old constitution provided for
four officers and an executive coun
cil, a combination which handled
administration and legislation.
The new constitution spreads
things out considerably. The presi
dent and an appointive cabinet will
handle administration; legislation
is delegated to a senate, to be com
posed of class officers, two faculty
members, class representatives,
and nine members-at-large.
And a third branch of student
government—judicial is provided
for by the new constitution, com
pleting the traditional government
trio.

will be the topic of a speech to be
given by Iga Roodenlto, an execu
tive of the War Resisters League,
at a public meeting' at the campus
YWCA at 4:30 p.m. Sunday.
Mr. Roodenko was a delegate to
the recent World Pacifist Meeting
in India, where he discussed the po
tentialities of non-violence as a
dynamic way of extending freedom
and combating totalitarianism with
followers of Gandhi from 35 coun
tries.
He has traveled through India,
Israel, and Europe compiling a re
port on peacemaking developments.

Another pleasant aspect of the
proposed constitution is the revised
election procedure; there will be
a preferential ballot, which has
been confusing in the past and may
well be in the future. But there will
be a greater possibility for non
partisan candidates to go places in
elections.
This is due to the fact that 11
persons will bo elected on the
ASUO presidential ballot instead
of the four now named. The top
two candidates will be elected pres
ident and vice-president; the next
nine will become senate members
at-large. And a non-partisan candi
date might will be one of the lat
ter.
This new constitution promises
to be an extremely effective agent
for the improvement of student
government at Oregon—if it passes
the test on Wednesday. Between'
now and Wednesday will be the big
push to get voters to the polls.

Hickok, Sollis Win
Oral Arguments
The first round of the oral argu
ments was held by the Law School
Monday night, with Dick Hickok,
senior in business, and Jack Sollis,
first-year law student presenting
the best oral arguments.
They will compete in the second
round, to be held fall term.
The case argued involved the
finding of a valuable ring on the
property of another. It was the
contention of the finder that the
ring belonged to him. The property
owner, however, brought suit
against this party.
Bob Abrams and Dave Lentz,
first-year students, were attorneys
for the plaintiff and were respon
sible for winning the case.
Jack Sollis presented the most
effective argument of the four
arguers, according to the judges.
