Comparison Proves
We are supporting the all campus primary sytem against
the AGS supported amendment to the ASUO constitution to
allow parties to select candidates under party-sponsored pri
maries.
We think the arguments are all in favor of continuing the
present set-up, which received a successful initial tryout in this
spring's primary election.
The all camus primary, if given the opportunity to demon
strate its attributes, would codify the campus primary rules.
During the last three years, the existing political parties used
six different primary systems. Result—confusion. Neither
the voters or the candidates had an opportunity to learn the
rules before they were changed.
The voters, under the all campus primary, will retain the
democratic right to select the party’s slate. Screening systems
are eliminated, which means the voters are not choosing be
tween the choices of the politicians.
The all campus primary also defines the minimum hour re
quirements to qualify for a class office. The constitution of
four years ago included these requirements, but they have since
been dropped.
Cross filing is not permitted. A candidate can seek the
nomination of only one party. He can run for only one office.
This prevents the old system where a politician could vir
tually run until he was elected. The candidates sometimes
ended up in an office they did not particularly want because
of the opportunity to drop down on the slate if they were
defeated. Thus, a candidate has to have more interest and
campaign harder to win an office under the all campus pri
mary system.
These are the advantages of the present set-up. We think
they compare more than favorably with the claimed advantages
for regressing back to a party primary or nominating conven
tion.
Half A Chance
The freshman election amendment is on the ballot again.
This time we hope it will pass. A lot of confusion will be elim
inated if it does.
This is the amendment that will divide the ballot in the
freshman election so that people running for president will
run only for that office. It will give students running for rep
resentative a chance to win that office instead of seeing the
defeated presidential candidates moved down into the repre
sentative spots.
The amendment will give women a chance to hold a fresh
man office. Women don’t usually run for president and under
the present preferential system the women running for repre
sentative don’t have a chance for an office.
In other class elections the problem is not so great since
there are only two presidential candidates under the campus
party system. But in freshman elections there are always more
than two.
We’re strongly in favor of the ASUO-sponsored amend
ment—it will increase interest in student government among
the freshmen and give more of them a chance to participate.
But in order to pass tlie amendment must have a two-thirds
majority. We hope it will. And we urge you to vote yes.—(JAV.)
Campus Beauties
We’ve noticed something about the Junior Weekend court
that we like very much. This year no single living organization
has more than one candidate in the court.
This is unusual in campus beauty contests. Most of them see
at least one house having two or three finalists.
Not that we’re advocating a “quota system” for beauty con
tests. If one living organization has two or three girls pretty
and active enough to get into the finals—fine. But we like the
distribution this year very much.
For one thing, it’s a lot easier on the girls’ living organiza
tions. No divided loyalties are present and they can campaign
for one girl. We’ve heard of cases where some feelings have
been hurt and some friends lost as a result of such divided loy
alties.
We don’t know if there’s any sure way to avoid such things.
But we’re glad to see it happen this time. (J.W.)

Exhibit Features
Architects' Work
Photographs Shown
In Art School Room
Works of two Chicago archi
tects, one who spent his luter years
in practice in Portland, will be dis
played in photographs in the sec
ond floor exhibition room of the
school of architecture from Sat
urday to May 18. The exhibit is
under the auspices of the Walker
Art Center, Minneapolis.
W. o. Purcell and G. G. Elmslie,
representative of the "Chicago
school" or architecture during
the first two decades of the cen
tury, had the same general tenden
cies In design as Frank Lfoyd
Wright, and represent among the
best of this active and creative
group of architects.
Most of the examples of the ex
hibit are from the northern part
of the Middle West, but some n ach
to Massachusetts in the East, and
Oregon in the West.
Purcell and Elmslie were influ
enced by the work and personality
of Louis Henry Sullivan, the Am
erican architect known for his
achievement in “skyscrapers.”
Elmslle was assoefated with Sul
livan for 20 years beforo establish
ing a partnership in 1910 that in
cluded Purcell.
It is this partnership from 1910
to 1920 with Purcell and another
architect, Feiek, that is represent
ed in the current display.
After 1920, Klmslie practiced
independently In Chicago, while
Pnreell headed west and continued
his work In Portland.
Special lecturer for the exhibit
will be Van Evera Bailey, Port
land architect, who was associated
with Purcell in the Rose City.
Catalogs of the show prepared by
the Walker Art Center will be
available at the exhibition.
