'IN PARTY HANDS'
AGS Seeks Primary Ouster
(Continued from Page One)
In the closed primary system used
previously by AGS in selecting
their nominees, a defeated candi
date could “step down" to another
office.
In a prepared statement distrib
uted at the meeting, the “marked
decrease in the number of voters
this year as compared with last
year,” was cited as a criticism of
the primary plan.
The “undermining of the very
basis of a political party” was also
listed as a drawback of the pri
mary. Jim Light, ASUO senator
at-large, expressed the opinion
that the convention would instill
a great deal of party spirit. As
Glass put it, “It would put the
control of the nomination back in
the hands of the party.’’
A suggestion that the ASUO
primary limits the boundary of
political freedom for the voter in
the coming elections was also pro
fessed.
Earlier this year, in a statement
regarding the functions of his
party, Glass said that the purpose
of AGS is to promote the interest
of its members in student govern
ment of the University in harmony
with the best interests of the stu
dent body as a whole. “Active par
ticipation by students in campus
politics is perhaps the best means
j of insuring good student govern
ment,” he stated. Glass last week
was selected as the AGS candidate
for senior class president.
Platform Announced
The complete platform of the
Greeks, which was passed unani
mously except for the plank re
lating to the primary amendment,
is as follow's:
"The Associated Greek Students
stand on the following platform
for the >954 ASUO elections. It is
the desire of AGS to elevate the
position of student government at
the University of Oregon and this
platform is designed for that pur
pose. The proposals herein de
scribed are not abstract but are
actually within the reach of capa
ble student government.
“1. The ASUO should strive to
: ward the formation of a North

Leaders. There is much value in
I meeting and discussing problems

“2. Believing that the exchange
assembly program is vital to the
j public relations program of the
| University, and that strict censor

Greek Students advocate re-estab
lishment of the ASUO entertain
j ment commission to evaluate the
