Signatures Asked
For Primary Plan
Petitions are now being circulat
ed to refer to the students at the
, general election May 13 a propos
ed amendment to the ASUO con
stitution on an all-campus primary
- plan. Two hundred signatures are
needed to place the proposal on
the ballot.
Under this plan, originated by
Senator-at-largtf Don Collin, all
University students would vote at
the same time and at the same
places for nominations in either
. party. The voter would choose the
ballot of the party he wished to
support upon entering the polling
• booth.
This would be a change from
the present system whereby the
two political parties, AGS and UIS,
hold separate primaries. The pre
ferential voting system and the
Australian ballot would be retain
ed, however.
Another change would prevent
candidates from running for more
than one office “except candidates
' for president of the ASUO shall
be considered candidates for sen
ator-at-large.” At the present can
didates for class office can also
run for senator-at-large positions.
