AGS Politicians
Slate Primary
For Spring Term
Party Revamps Way
Of Tabbing Nominees
Associated Greek Students,
campus political party, voted
Thursday to hold an all-party pri
mary next spring instead of the
system of house representatives
now in effect.
Under the system now in use,
two representatives from each
house select AGS candidates for
the spring term student body and
class officers elections. Under the
plan passed Thursday, every mem
ber will have a chance to vote on
the candidates in a series of three
ballots.
Separate Fallot
A separate ballot will be taken
to determine candidates running
under the AGS banner for student
body president, class offices and
the ASUO senate. The balloting
will take place at a scheduled
mealtime in each house, with all
the members voting. The num
ber of votes per house will be
based on the number of members
and pledges in each organization.
The group decided that the pri
mary election for the office of
student body president would be
held on a strict majority basis.
However, the candidates for class
offices and the senate will be
chosen by the preferential voting
system, the party decided.
('•an Try for Senate
Jack Faust, AGS president, said
that under the plan, candidates
who were defeated in the election
for either the student body pres
ident nomination or in the nom
ination for a class office, may pe
tition to be put on the ballot for
the senate nominations.
The AGS policy committee will
be responsible for setting up the
actual machinery for the primary,
Faust said.
In other business taken by the
group, Pattie Ruan, junior in
English, was elected secretary to
replace Ann Irwin, who resigned.

SEVEN BOOTHS ON CAMPUS
Krispie 'Mysties' on Sale Today;
Phi Theta Boosts Women's Day
Today "Mysties” are being sold
as part of the Women's Day pro
gram on campus. Booths for the
sale of “Mysties," apple turnovers,
are located at the Student Union,
the Co-op, Straub hall, Carson
hall, Hendricks hall, the library
and in front of the “Pioneer Fath
er."
General chairmen for the annual
Phi Theta Upsilon sale are Do
reen Gienger, freshman in edu
cation, and Marilyn Parrish, fresh
man in liberal arts. They were
assisted by freshman committee
chairmen, Carol Huggins, and Bet
ty Fackler, decorations; Ann
Erickson and Sally Plummer, dis
tribution; Joanne Zehnder, and
Paula Curry, booth sales; Anne
Hill and Jo Kopp, house sales;
Gwen Zinniger and Robin Rumery,
promotion, and Dorothy Ilcr, pub
licity.
In 1949, Phi Theta Upsilon spon
sored a sale to raise money for
women’s scholarships. The sale
was unique because it was sur
rounded by an air of mystery.
“Twisties,” which turned out to
be doughnuts, were sold at this
first annual “Mystie Sale.”
The next year, the junior wom
en’s honorary advertised "Mys
ticks” for sale. The honorary also
featured a “Mystery Man.” On
May 3, the day of the sale, “Mys
ticks” were revealed as candied
apples, and “Mr. Mystick” was Ken
Metzler, the only male who peti
tioned for woik on the sale, which
is handled completely by freshman
women.
“Don’t Mystie a Kistie” was the
slogan in 1951. Students couldn’t
overlook the bright booths of
chartreuse, fuchsia, and black
where the “Mysties,” again can
died apples, were sold.
| freedom and responsibility of the
| press, to which Luce donated
! 5200,000, was an attempt at work
ing out an intelligible theory of a
.ree press, he said.
"I didn't get my money’s worth
-not in terms of good will, at
east,” Luce said. The report was
criticized in Fortune, a Time, Inc.
publication, for lack of speci
ficity.

Sitting on a couch and smoki«»^
cigarettes as he talked Thursday
night, the publisher discoursed in
crisp stacatto tones.
A summary of his comments:
On Time magazine s concept *,t
reporting, often accused of con
taining too much bias:
"We never claimed to be with
out bias. We said nobody could be
without it. We’ve got a hell of a
Jot of bias. In the first place weTo
biased in favor of our country . .
i we may have bias, out we don't
have a system of bias.
Summary for Readers
On Time s evaluation and inter
pretation :
"We are giving readers a • ,vn
mary . in a summary you can’t
very well separate facts from
evaluation.” He called evauu-thm
the "highest function of seriotts
[journalism ... to take these big
‘things (i.e. NATO, the Middle
Eastern situation) ar.d make tko
bcst evaluation of the facts. ’
"We've been wrong at times.
But we'd lose a lot of confidence
in ourselves if we didn t think v/O
were successful on the whole.”
He added that Time wants 'Cd
be in "dialectic” with readers;
wants them to realize that Tina
prints news as Time sees if..
"Probably we should print a state
ment of this policy more often,”
he said.
“Freedom to Disagree”
On a question about the "loss
of freedom to disagree”:
"My friend Bob Hutchins •'e»
Chieago LT president and chairman
of the Hutchins report committee)
says there is a ’miasma of thought
control’ today.”
Luce said he didn't know wheth
er that was more than, just a
phrase. He said he would wanfc
more reportorial aai^. about the
situation.
"I rather doubt that people aro
having thoughts suppressed. May
be these thoughts don't exist —
maybe we lack original trunking,”
\ he declared.
