AGS: Logic at Last The house representatives of Associated Greek Students demonstrated some good, logical reasoning in rejecting the AGS policy committee’s recommendation to do away with the all-campus primary at the party meeting Thursday afternoon at Alpha Chi Omega. Discussion centered on three important factors: 1) Timing of the ouster movement; 2) Knowledge of the all campus primary; and 3) Alternative proposals. Rejection of the policy committee’s recommendation was based on these con siderations rather than on the intrinsic merits or demerits of the present primary system. If the AGS leaders had sincerely wanted to do away with the primary this fall, action should have been taken well before last Thursday, since this Wednesday is the deadline for filing petitions for the Nov. 10 ballot. Some of the representatives raised doubts as to whether AGS could do a thorough job of educating the students in the week between filing and the election. Obviously, the party at present lacks the machinery to do such a job, and AGS would be taking the chance that the vote of an uneducated electorate would benefit the party. Even a calloused politician would hesitate before endorsing this approach. It was fairly evident at the Thursday meeting that many of the house representatives did not fully understand the primary setup. This ignorance is to be regretted, but the will ingness of these individuals to admit their ignorance is the redeeming factor. Refusal of the representatives to accept at face value the party leaders’ denunciations of the primary was a demonstra tion of independent thinking that has been all too rare in AGS circles. The group just wouldn’t allow this important issue to be railroaded through by the few campus politicians who, for either party considerations or personal motives, wished the defeat of the primary system. “Abolish the all campus primary, and then what?’’ seemed to be the question uppermost in the minds of the assembled representatives. Would rejection of the primary mean a return to closed voting in the Greek houses, or would AGS propose another system, possibly the convention suggested last spring? No alternative plan is needed, party leaders assured the representatives. Just vote out the primary, and let us worry about what follows. The representatives were looking for more constructive criticism, however, and finallv rejected the policy committee’s proposal, perhaps more on thi- issue than on the other two. The action taken Thursday by the full assembly of AGS delegates reaffirmed our faith in campus politics. It is pre cisely this type of sincere, incisive thinking that is needed to make student government at Oregon really mean something. Couldn't Be Cos? “This is when the coach ran out on the field for a few words With the referee.” —The Looking-Glass— First UT Production Called Sympathetic By Len Calvert Emerald Columnist (Editor's Note: The Emerald today introduce* Its new drama critic, Len Calvert, who will review University theater pro ductions and present his views of local entertainment in this column.

Oregon’s University theater began its 1054-55 season in a light and sentimental vein Fri day with its producion of Mary Chase’s teen-age comedy "Ber nardine.” In "Bernardino” Miss Chase has depicted the life and tirm‘8 of a fairly typical teen-age bunch of boys who are exploring the adult world and, each in his own way, trying to become a "wheel" by "making time with the wom en.” The cast of the current pro duction, most of whom aren’t so far from the teens them selves, give a sympathetic por trayal of these boys, their lives and problems. Two members of the cast arc particularly outstanding in their performances—Scott Lehner and Bruce Holt.

It is in his closing speech that Holt really shines. His de livery of "best wishes and good luck” to his gang should really hit many students, who are not far removed from their own high school groups. On the distaff side, beautiful Loretta Mason shows why she has been runner-up to such titles as "Mins Oregon.” Miss Mason docs an adequate job of being the seductive “older woman.” Pat Johnson as Lchner’s dis traught mother, carries her part well, but gets just slightly too hysterical In her big scene as she explains what adults want for their children. A word should also he said here about Director Frederick Iiunter. This In the liest “Hunt er” show which we have ever watched. The summer seems to have improved his ability as u director a great deal. The staging of "Bernardino" is unique among recent UT pro ductions. Surrounded by black valeur curtains, the sets are es sentially composed only of fur niture. Scene changes are made to music by members of the cast, right before the audience’s eyes. Dominating the singe is a huge backdrop of “Sneaky Falls, Ida ho,” which, to the boys, repre sents a sort of heaven, where children dominate their parents. As Miss Chase says of the boys in her introduction to the action, “It's a Halloween world they live in for a little while ... and here no doubt can ever fully enter.” This may be so, but "Ber Dardine" comes close.
