AGS Gains Ballot Advantage
Over USA in Clean Election
By Phil Bet tens
Student body elections are over
| for another year- and from talk-1
l ing to various officials involved in
, the election several facts are ap
; parent:
1. A great many students in vot
ing for senate at large indicated
a preference on their ballots for
only six or seven candidates. As
the counting continued, and the
ballots were redistributed, many
of these ballots were cast aside; the
six or seven candidates whom these
voters voted for had already been
elected or eliminated, and there
O'Reilly Strips Secretary...
OF POWERS FOR LAW WEEKEND
COUNTY of FENTON. State of
Hollis (Special (—It’s free drinks
and cigars for all residents of
Fenton (candy for the ladies),
courtesy of Ed O'Reilly.
At the big Wednesday election,
O’Reilly was selected to succeed
Jim Hafey as president of the law
school student body, and immedi
ately assumed the responsibilities
and burdens of this highest office
in Fenton.
His first acts as president were
to strip Law School Secretary
Miss Corinne Gunderson of her
powers and control of Fenton
funds, and to demand that im
peachment proceedings be com
menced against Athletic Chairman
Gene Rose.
Broad Ballot
The election result was an
nounced within minutes after the
•close of the polls at 3 p.m. O’Reilly
wound up with 29 votes, 7 more
than his closest rival Dale Peder
son, who had 22, and 9 more than
the third candidate, Ken Poole,
with 20. The rumored “write-in”
campaign by the feminine law stu
dents didn't materialize, but "Snow
belle,” (the Phi Kappa Psi’s Bern
ard), and the custodian of Fenton
Hall both received student support
on the ballots.
Like all political aspirants,
O'Reilly has planned to "reward"
his followers of Fenton, and with
Law School Weekend starting Fri
day, the subjects immediately took
him up on his offer.
The new president said he had
concluded that Miss Gunderson is
unable to give her wholehearted
support to official law school poli
cies. In a statement, O’Reilly as
serted that "feminine secretaries
must bo governed by policies and
directives of their superiors. When
the ladies attempt to formulate
Fenton policy, instead of being
satisfied with performing the min
isterial functions of the office of
secretary, a change is necessary."
It is reported that, in spite of
her being ousted from command,
Miss Gunderson’s home town of
Pendleton is planning a big recep
tion and parade in her honor on
her return in June.
Rose's position is being'threaten
ed beeause of his failure to main
tain the standards required of one
heading the “athletic” program in
Fenton.
Under Rose’s guidance, the
"I.egal Eagles” won two softball
games in a row. an unheard-of feat
for Fenton teams, and strictly
against precedent.
"We cannot allow such neglect
of duty and incompetency to go
by unnoticed,” O'Reilly stated,
ordering John Sabine, his man
"Friday,” to see that Rose is re
lieved of his duties before fall term.
With the election over, all eyes
of Fenton are being turned to the
weekend festivities, which will be
culminated by the Law School
Ball to be held Saturday night at
the Student Union, at which time
the “queen” will be announced.
Oregon students may continue to
stuff the ballot boxes available
in the Co-op as often as they
please, there being no voting re
strictions. Pictures of the “cover
girl” candidates arc also available
at the Co-op.
were no more cnoices ot candidates
on the ballot so that it could be
used again.
Two Few Candidates
2. The United Students Associa
tion may have made a mistake in
not nominating more candidates
for senator-at-large. As the ballots
were distributed, the candidates
with the lowest number of votes
were declared defeated, and their
votes given to other candidates
voted for on the ballot.
Therefore, both parties lost can
didates along the way; but AGS,
with 11 candidates running, could
afford to have more dropped off
than could USA, which only nom
inated six. These figures include
the presidential candidates.
Campaigns Clean
The campaigning was conduct
ed in a very clean fashion this
year. There were no riots, no
charges and counter-charges of
corruption and dishonestity—vent
ed by the. two rival parties—as
has been the case in some past elec
tions.
A bouquet is due to Herb Mill,
who was responsible for organiz
ing the actual elections. Also a
vote of praise is due to Director
of Student Affairs Donald Du

PETERSON BACKS OUSTED STUDENTS
A move is underway on the'
University of Oregon campus to
get a new hearing for Jim Loscut
off and Curt Barclay, University
basketball players who were sus
pended Monday allegedly on a
charge involving morals by the
Student Discipline Committee.
This information was given to
the Emerald late Wednesday night
by Bob Peterson, also a basket
ball player, who is heading the
movement.
Feterson made a public speech
in favor of reinstatement of the
two athletes at an election cele
bration Wednesday night attended
by an estimated 200 students.
“I’ve got a committee going and
I’ve got backing. What I’m look
ing for now is student backing,”
Peterson told the Emerald. He said
he has outside legal advice on the
course of action he is pursuing.
Peterson feels the two athletes
involved were not given a fair heal
ing by the Student Discipline Com
mittee. He also stated that he feels
the committee has no jurisdiction
over the affair for which -the two
