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.

selected by the representatives.

candidates for the 12 class offices,

the number selected in each case
by UIS in its primary.

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.
