His early compositions including

Senate Ponders
Election Changes
Two proposed constitutional
amendments which would change
the system for electing the grad
uate member of the ASUO senate
and freshman class officers were
tabled by the ASUO senate at its
Thursday night meeting.
A proposal which would have
separate ballots for the election
of president and vice-president
and representatives of the fresh
man class was carried over until
the next meeting for lack of a
quorum. Under the proposal, the
president and vice-president would
be elected first, and representa
tives elected on a separate list.
Under the current system, four
presidential candidates are usually
selected, and the freshmen class
offices are dominated by men.
With the proposed split ballot, wo
j men running for election to the
representative would have an equal
j chance with the men for election
J to the representative positions, ac
cording to Donald DuShane, di
| rector of student affairs.
The constitutional revision com
; mittee recommended that the
graduate member of the senate
; be chosen by the senate rather
| than elected.
It was felt by the committee
; that there is not enough interest
among graduate students in elec
i tions. Some high calibre candi
dates, who would not have the
j time to run, would be more will
] big to petition for the position on
a selection basis, Senator Hollis
' Ransom said.
Don Bonime, sophomore in lib
eral arts, and Jerry Farrow, soph
omore in business .were appoint
jed co-chairmen of Duck Preview.
The senate passed a motion by
ASUO Vice - President Bob Funk
, that the campus primary election
be held April 14, and the general
I election May 5.
