OF OltE., EUGENE, FRIDAY, MAY 1,1053 No. 110 Primary Amendment Fails in ASUO Senate The ASUO senate Thursday eve ning refused to refer the “open primary plan" to the student body to be voted on in the spring term general elections. The proposed amendment failed to get the two thirds majority of the senators necessary to place it on the ballot. Don Collin, originator of the plan, called for a roll call vote which was 13 to 7 in favor of placing the proposed amendment on the ballot. Collin listed objections to the plan which were brought out in an investigation by a senate commit tee. The objections were: too many good people would not be elected to office, smaller percent age of voters in the primary and no demand for it in AGS. The amendment may be placed on the ballot if 200 student signa tures are secured requesting it. The senate voted to withdraw the UO's membership in Pacicfic Slope President’s association. At last week’s meeting they voted to retain membership but not to send a representative. A motion to place an amend ment to create a senatorial posi tion for a graduate student on the general election ballot was de feated. This same motion was also defeated fall term.

Three AGS Aspirants ForPrexy to be Judged JACK FAUST, TOM WRIGHTSON AND PAUL LASKER AGS Presidential Hopefuls Associated Greek Students party begins its three-day primary Monday with lunch hour voting on three candidates for the nom ination for ASUO president. T,ie three are Jack Faust, Paul Lasker and Tom Wrightson. I lie winner will oppose Don Collin, LTS nominee for president in the independent party’s primary Wednesday. V canc|idates are seeking some nomination on the AGS ticket. Losers in Monday’s---—_ primary will be eligible for the class office primary on Tuesday. And losers that second day may run for a senate-at-large nomina tion in Wednesday’s primary. All three days’ voting will be held in fraternities and sororities during lunch. Pledges are eligible to vote; they have been asked to do so by AGS. In the event that neither Faust, Royalty Not Only Honor CATHY TRIBE Home Town Girl Eugene resident Cathy Tribe, Junior Weekend queen candidate, combines office work with classes, and manages to keep up on cam pus activities besides. Serving as treasurer of Phi Theta, vice - president o f the YWCA, secretary-treasurer of Beta Alpha Psi, business honorary, chairman of Religious Emphasis week and luncheon chairman of Junior Weekend, Cathy also serves as office secretary for Mutual of Omaha life insurance company. Cathy was also 1951 Betty Coed. Spring term finds Cathy watch ing baseball, her favorite sport, and participating in swimming. Cathy stands a petite 5’2” tall, and has brown eyes and dark brown hair. L,asKer nor Wrigntson obtain a majority fo the votes Monday, the candidate with the fewest votes will be eliminated and a runoff election between the top two men will be held at dinner in Greek or ganizations. This is the first year that Greek students will vote directly on all candidates for the AGS nomina tions. Last year a primary was held just for the ASUO president nominations, with the AGS repre sentatives from each house select ing the remainder of the slate in caucus. Previously, all candidates were selected by the representatives. The AGS primary will select a candidate for ASUO president, six candidates for the 12 class offices, and nine candidates for the nine senate-at-large positions, exactly the number selected in each case by UIS in its primary. Balloting for class officers Tues day and for senators-at-large Wed nesday will be by preferential vot ing. (Voters will number the con tenders in order of preference, and surplus ballots of the winners will be distributed to the other contend ers according to second choicec— third, etc., if necessary—until the required number of offices are filled.) Schmidt Running As Independent Ben Schmidt, defeated candidate for the UIS student body presiden tial nomination, has decided to run in the general election, as a non-partisan, for senator-at-large —with the blessings of UIS. Due to an operational misunder standing, Schmidt’s name was left off the senate-at-large portion of the UIS primary ballot, although he was eligible to run for both ASUO president and the senate-at large if he desired. Thursday the UIS party voted to place Schcmidt on the ASUO bal lot as a nominee for senate-at large, along with their nine nom inated candidates. But Schmidt de clined the offer, believing that it would be unfair to the nine candi dates who were elected in the in dependent primary Wednesday. Schmidt told the Emerald Wednesday night that he definitely supports UIS and Don Collin, UTS nominee for president. And a rep resentative of UIS said that the party supports Schmidt in the senate-at-large race.
