Senate Backs
UO Ski Team
The senate voted Thursday eve
; ning to recommend to the athletic
j department that a ski team be
formed this winter and also voted
to continue a committee to look
into the problems of forming a
team. The University has no ski
team at present.
Bob Brittain, junior class presi
dent, reported that $867 had been
allocated by the athletic depart
ment for a ski team but that there
are no plans for a team.
Last year's team was coached by
Gene Harlow, who is not with the
athletic department this year.
1 Brittain reported that the cost for
last year's team was $933, which
j paid for expenses to two ski meets.
He said that a budget of $867 could
| provide expenses to four meets in
addition to equipment and prac
i tices.
' The money for the ski team last
; year, Brittain said, was apparently
| not handled too wisely and he
saw no reason why a team could
! not be formed and entered in sev
’ eral meets.
Dick Thomas, a member of last
j year’s team, told the senate that
(Please turn to fage six)
resolution does not apply to
them.
Hie resolution passed reads:
"He it resolved that this body
shall not consider the adopted
Article III. Section 2, to be re
troactive. and the organizations
which lost recognition pridr to
the fall 1952, shall be subject
.to a one year disciplinary per
iod." •
Two Year Period
The resolution lifts the two year
disciplinary action imposed by
AGS last spring under which a re
turning house can vote in the party
but is not allowed to have candi
dates up for AGS or ASUO office.
Prior to the vote on the resolu
tion. which passed 23 to 2. much
discuss:on of the measure took
place. Some members felt that if
the houses wanted to go back into
AGS they should come in under the
tv.o year rule as they were given a.
chance to go back into the party
last year under the same agree
ment as stated in the resolution.
Last year Alpha Tau Omega,
which had previously bolted the
party to the USA side, went back
in AGS under the one year penalty
period. The two year rule was then
put into effect.
Strong Argument
One of the arguments advanced
in the meeting in favor of the reso
lution was that the party was pun
ishing the houses for something
'they didn't do." When the houses
left the bloc, they left with the or.c
year rule in effect. Therefore. :t
"as argued, the two year punish
ment should not apply to them.
As far as the individual housed
are concerned, none of them have
taken any definite action in the
matter of politics.
Ann Gentle, president of Alpha.
Xi, said that AGS had not con
tacted that organization and that
nothing had been decided withi i
the house.” She felt that under th*
t'vo year rule AGS was “keeping
people in the party and not letting
any others in who might want in. ’
Provides Clarification
Delta Upsilon also has made no
decision. Bob Metz, president, sa><S
that he was “very happy” over the
passage of the resolution and that
it provided a "clarification of
what's needed. I will talk to Jack
Faust, AGS president, before any
thing- else is done,” Metz said.
Dick Kremmel. Lambda Chi
president, said the resolution ch.t
not affect his house. When asked if
Lambda Chi might possibly join
AGS, he replied that there had
been "some discussion in the
house.”
President of SAM, Dick Davis,
said he felt that the resolution way
a “very equitable thing and the
fairest thing that can be done.”
added the issue “might have beta
considered but no definite act itn
has been taken.”
