tion.
The Open Primary
3. Codifies' primary rules. Dur
ing the last four years the exist
ing political parties used six dif
ferent primary systefns. Both vot
ers and candidates know the nom
inaion procedure.
2. The voters will get a demo
cratic and unhindered choice to
select the party s slate. Screening
committees are eliminated, which
means the voters are not choosing :
between the choice of the politici
ans.
3 Prohibits candidates seek
ing office of class president
from receding the representa
tive nomination.
4. Defines the minimum hour re
quirements to qualify for class of- i
fice. The constitution of four years i
ago included these requirements. ‘
but they were dropped from the
present constitution.
3. Cross filing is not permit
ted. A candidate can seek the
nomination of only one party.
6. A candidate can run for only
one office. This protects the can
didate who petitions for the offices
from the advantage attained by a
candidate who move* down from
office to office.
The Nominating Convention
1. Pull dress convention, pat
terned after our national political
parties' nominating conventions.
2. Convention would be run by
policy committee of AGS. with
i he help of all AGS representa
tives.
3 Delegates would be seated in
each designated section, while
other parties would be allowed
to sit in the remaining space
a\ailable.
4. One representative from!
e\ery 10 men and one representa
tive for any fi action of 10 over ■
a number divisible by 10. These I
figures would be based on the of-'
fice of student affairs official tab
ulation.
5. Nominations: would be
from the floor, allowed two sec
onds and be of a specified
length to be decided by the plan
ning committee.
6. The platform would be form-)
ed by a special committee and
would be presented to the con
vention after the nomination of'
candidates. At the time of presen
tation any qualified AGS member
could move for the addition of any
plank which he feels is needed. Ail
planks to the platform, both those
presented and those from the
floor, would have to be ratified by
the delegates to the convention.
