Election Plans
Of Frosh Council
By Paul Keefe
Emerald Assistant Managing Editor
The freshman election council,
as termed by John Feliz, freshman
in liberal arts and spokesman for
the group, will only exist "until
after the election” and will then go
out of existence.
The group, which was formed to
'pick a representative slate of of
ficers" to run in the Jan. 28 fresh
man elections, chose their slate
Tuesday evening after screening
11 prospects for the positions.
The "council” is a self-appointed
group which claims members from
most freshman living units. The
group, according to Feliz, was
started in the co-ops, where it is
the strongest, but now has mem
bers from men and women's dorms
and off-campus students.
Representatives of the “council”
are not elected or appointed. The
group accepts any interested par
ties.
Phyllis Pearson, president of
* Carson 5, told the Emerald Wed
nesday evening, that she withdrew
from the group after attending
some of the meetings because the
whole thing was “awfully confused
and not very organized”. She said
that the council seemed illegal
since political parties were to stay
out of the election.
The Emerald learned Wednesday
that the council divided the fresh
man living units—Vet’s dorms, co
ops, Carson hall and Hendricks—
and each was to receive one candi
date. The slate they selected was
divided in this manner.
If the slate is elected next Fri
day, they will have no obligations
to the “council", Feliz said. But
other members of the group said
that it would serve as an advisor
to the officers in matters which
concerned the freshmen.
Helen Jackson Frye, ASUO vice
president, has stated that the
council could give its backing to
any candidate and it would be “all
right”. Pat Dignan, ASUO presi

Oregon Coast
Awaiting Storm
PORTLAND CP)—Oregon coast
al residents are preparing for an
other storm heading in from the
Pacific Ocean as inland flood wa
ters spread over lowlands in the
Willamette valley.
Although the Willamette is fall
ing upstream, the river still is
above the flood level at a number
of points from Corvallis north. The
effect of the flood is still being felt
even farther upstream.
In thd Eugene area 100 Pope
and Talbot woods workers were!
unable to get to their jobs because
of a bridge washout. About 600
workers were laid off by the Hines
Lumber company at Oakridge
while flood-broken log booms were
repaired.
Roads to the outside in the
Southwest part of the state are
still blocked from the floods and
washouts of last weekend's storm.
Coast highway traffic will not be
restored for 10 days to two weeks.
Split Ballot Reversal
Expected By Dignan
ASUO President Pat Dignan
said Wednesday that the ASUO
senate will probably rescind the
split ballot measure tonight.
The student-faculty constitution
al committee declared it uncon
stitutional Tuesday in an “opin
ion” requested by the senate. It
also knocked the practice of de
signating the office after a candi
date’s name on the ballot.
■ "My personal opinion is that we
shouldn’t go ahead with it,” Dig
nan said. He acknowledged how
ever that there is nothing on the
books to force the senate to kill
the measure.
Alphabetical Order
If the measure is thrown out, all
candidates for freshman class of
fice will probably appear on one
ballot in alphabetical order and
without any designation as to of
fice.
Dignan expressed displeasure at
this probable result, pointing out
that the net result would be “that
everybody is running for presi
dent.”
“We're going to have to change
that part of the constitution which
specifically applies to class elec
tion," he said, admitting that such
a change would necessitate a con
stitutional amendment and a vote
by the student body.
Xo Chance
He doesn’t think there is any
possibility of doing it before the
spring term ASUO elections.
Other business for the senate
to consider tonight will include
Dignan's report of fall term ASUO
expenses and proposed winter term
budget and reports by the senate
insurance program committee and
constitutional revision committee.
The Pacific area student confer
ence in Hawaii, for which the
ASUO president has so far been
unable to find any delegates, will
also be discussed.
