AGS Constitution Examined
(c ontmuca jrotti page one)
ternative is necessary now,” he
declared.
McCracken suggested that any
change from the all-campus
primary would benefit AGS. He
told the AGS members that the
present primary system "hinders
fulfillment of its (AGS’) pur
pose since candidates can’t re
file for office.”
McCracken Objects to Primary
McCracken’s other objections
to the prersent primary system
included the decreased number of
petitioners last spring and the
crossing of party lines allowed
under such a system.
The all-campus primary
amendment was passed in the
spring, 1953, election, with the
support of both AGS and United
Independent Students. An
amendment to abolish the pri
mary, sponsored by AGS, was
defeated in the general elections
last spring when it failed to re
ceive the necessary two-thirds
majority vote.
Constitution Committee
In other business, AGS voted
unanimously to appoint a com
mittee to examine the organiza
tion’s constitution for possible
revision and to establish a card
filing system.
xsod jciaier, junior in nus.ness.
was appointed chairman of the
constitutional revision commit
tee. Other members of the com
mitee are Ron Mount, junior in
business, and Camille O'Tolle,
junior in liberal arts.
Names of all AGS members
interested in petitioning for po
litical offices and other activi
ties will be kept in the card fil
ing system, which will be used as
needed by the party.
McCracken announced the pol
icy committee appointments,
which include: Light, Jerry Far
row, Janet Gustafson, Maier.
Milan Foster, Gary We3t, Betti
Fackler, Bob Pollock and Ro
berta Toner.

Staging
Settings for the University
theatre's production of "Bernar
dine" were designed and lighted
by Howard Ramey, assistant
professor of speech. The design
features an almost bare stage
with furniture arrangements
done by the cast and cre^- in full
view of the audience.
To accomplish the five scenes
reouired for “Bernardine," ar
rangements of furniture and set
pieces will provide the audience
with the background for the
show.
The stage manager for -Ber
nardine" is Ron Morgan, senior
in speech, and his crew includes:
lights, Gloria Lee, senior in
speech; sound, Peggy Gather
caul; props, Dalece Peterson,
freshman in speech and Loanne
Morgan, senior in speech.
Construction, painting and
lighting were done by the pro
duction workshop class, under
the supervision of Ramey.
Bands 'No Play'
Rumor Untrue
Rumors that the University
Marching band would not per
form at the Homecoming game
Nov. 13 were without foundation,
according to Robert Vagner, as
sociate professor of music and
director of the band .
Vagner said that some mem
bers of the band were angered
by the actions of some portions
of the student body at last Sat
urday’s rootball game with San
Jose state, and said that the band
seriously considered doing away
with half-time shows.
However, there was never a
question of whether or not he
band would play at games, Vag
ner pointed out.
The band met this week to dis
cuss the incidents at Saturday's
football game, one of which was
the mingling of two San Jose
rooters with the band during the
half-time performance and an
other of which was the unfa
forable criticism of the band by
Oregon students when the band
hesitated before playing for the
San Jose state cheerleaders.
Five members of the fc^nd will
meet with administration and i
ASUO officials next week to
discuss band relations, Vagner
said. They are: Mai lan_ Casa and
