Deferred Living Rules
Not Changed'-DuShane
A current rumor that non-Eu
gene freshman men might be al
lowed to live in certain fraterni
ties this term was emphatically
denied Monday by Donald M. Du
Shane, director of student affairs.
“There will be no change in the
present freshman deferred living
program this spring,'’ DuShane
told the Emerald.
The administration had previ
ously temporarily relaxed its de
ferred living program, when Ray
! Hawk, associate director of stu
dent affairs, announced to the In-1
ter-fraternity council on Feb. 4
that Eugene freshmen would be al-;
lowed to live in fraternities this
spring. Ted Rubenstein, IFC presi- i
dent, also told the Emerald Mon-!
-day that there would be no change j
in the freshman ‘'living in'’ pro- ’
gram this term. He said that a I
gioup of "interested people" dis
cussed deferred living Sunday eve
ning, but “nothing came of it," ac
cording to Rubenstein.
Campus Politics Expected
In Annual ASUO Election
by Joe Gardner
Emerald Newt Editor
Meetings behind locked doors,
vote trading and outbursts of ora
torical brilliance will soon get un
derway on the Oregon campus if
this year’s ASUO elections sched
uled for May 5, are anything like
they have been in past years.
Starting this week the agile
Oregon student will be kept busy
dodging hats as they are thrown
in the proverbial ring, for the all
campus primary is but two weeks
and a day hence. Between today
and April 14, date of the primary
election, politically inclined stu
dents are expected to declare for
office.
Petition Deadline Set
Petition blanks may be picked
up at the ASUO office, Student
Union 304, and are to be turned in
there, according to ASUO Vice
President Bob Funk, who is in
charge of the elections. Deadline
for submitting the petitions is 6
p, m. April 7.
The candidates must indicate on
the petition their name, grade
point average, office sought, class,
and political party. The completed
petitions must be stamped at the
office of student affairs in Emer
ald hall before they are turned in
at the ASUO office.
This year marks the first trial
of the all-campus primary, which
was approved by Oregon students
in last year's general elections.
Previously, the two political par
ties had held separate primary
elections on different days.
Joint Primary Scheduled
On April 14 the two parties —
United Independent Students and
Associated Greek Students — will
held concurrent elections with sep
arate ballots. Any other group of
students wishing to form a party
may submit -ballots for the pri
mary. Every candidate in the pri
mary must be a member of some
campus political party, new or old.
Last year a group of law stu
dents formed a third party in the
general elections. This party, call
ed the Peon Party (now defunct),
ran Funk for the the ASUO presi
dency.
Following the primary, ballots
for the general election will be
made according to those who qual
ify in the primary. However, can
didates defeated in the primary, or
even students who did not run in
the primary, may still run in the !
general election as an Independent
by filing for office in the ASUO1
office before April 28.
Balloting Explained
The ASUO serrate winter term
adopted a by-law governing the
method of balloting in the pri
mary. The six provisions of the
by-law are as follows:
1) Each political party will have j
a separate ballot for president.;
senators-at-large and class offi
cers.
2) The ballot will be divided in
to four parts, one part for each
class participating;
3) The poll attendant will mark
the ballot according to the vot
er's _class, and the voter will iise
no other division except in the
ASUO election;
41 The voter will be given bal- j
lots for all political parties, (but
is to use the ballot of only one 1
party);
5) After voting, the voter will
hand the attendant both the mark
ed and unmarked ballots, which
will be placed in separate boxes;
and
6) Only the ballots in the
"marked” box will be counted.
