'JtqttiniHf ‘Kcfia-ttcx Students Dislike Preferential Vote In UO Elections By Jean Lewis None of the students interview ed Wednesday by the Inquiring Reporter liked the preferential system of voting which Is used In ASUO elections. Reasons given were that It wasn't fair, since presidential can didates received all offices, that n person does not know enough of the candidates and thut it doesn t seem to work as well as the na tional system of elections where a candidate is elected by a majority, vote. "Do you approve of the ASUQ preferential voting system?” I*at Booth -junior in biology - "It doesn’t seem to work too well as all men were elected. A major ity vote for four candidates seems to Ire the most successful and has not failed yet." Mary Jo Carlson freshman in business "I didn't like it you ^ thought you were voting for presi dent but the one you wanted did not get the office. Candidates should run for one office.” l»on Alrm sophomore in econ omics "Candidates should run for one office. They should use the na tional system of voting if we are trying to get voting experience.” Stu Richardson first year law student "Dcmimmls non curat | lex. or the law doesn't take notice * of trifles. No comment." Bob Puckett first year law stu dent "I agree with Stu. It’s j hoaxing the public. Why don't you | go see Dean Hollis?” Sam Kent freshman In busi ness “That was no election. I like the national system better." Kuth Schleue sophomore in lib j oral ui t.s "They say vote for 25 | but most people only vote for three because they don't know enough of the candidates.” Kay Me.Mlehel freshman in lib eral arts "I don't see how the representatives could have a chance. I don’t like it, I don't think it was explained well enough.” CAMPUS CALENDAR Thursday, .Ian. 81, 1052 9:00 a.in.
