The Emerald contacted 10 University students who have been prominently mentioned as election possibilities and only one would go far enough to say that he was definitely interested in running for president. Pud Hinkson, junior in history, said that "I am definitely in terested in running for ASUO president but I don’t want to make any final announcement on the matter at this time.’’ Hinkson Likely Hinkson is considered to be one of the top AGS prospects in the presidential race. He is Politicians Told To File Petitions the deadline f-or filing petitions for the coming ASUO primary elections just a little more than a week away, candi date petitions arc now available in the ASUO office. ASUO Vice-President Hollis Ransom revealed Monday that the petitions, along with instruc tion sheets for all candidates, can be picked up anytime during the day from now until the dead line at 6 p.m. on April 13.

In anticipation of the exten sive campaigning that is ex pected in the next four weeks before the primary elections, April 20, and the all-campus gen eral election, May 4, Ransom re leased a list of campaigning and electioneering rules that will be in effect this year.

Another prospect who has be'-n mentioned often as a possibility was uncertain in his reply. Don Bonime, junior in law. stated that “any office that I would run for would have to be secondary to my entering law school. I have been thinking about candi dacy for some time but I'm not decided for certain one way or the other as yet.” The other eight people con tacted all were firm in their statements that they would not run for president. Bob Mc Cracken, junior in history, who has been considered a likely presidential candidate, reported that "I will definitely not run for president and I haven't de cided for sure on other possible offices.” Duncan Not Sure Still another possibility. Jim Duncan, junior in economics, said that he wasn't sure at this time whether he would return to school next year and “that makes my political plans indefinite.” Gordon Rice, junior in journal-' ism and vice-president of the junior class, announced that “I won’t be a candidate for any po litical office this year. I want to devote my fifIT time to" the Emerald." Rice is news editor of the campus daily: Kip Wharton, junior in busi ness, reported that he hadn’t "thought anything about run ning for president but I might consider something else later.” Absolutely Not Garry McMurry, junior in pre law, and Jerry Farrow, junior in business, both declared that they had “no political ambitions what soever.” Jim Light, senior in pre-law, announced that "there is no chance for my candidacy because I won't be in school next year." Sam Frear, junior in journal ism, said that “I don't think I will run for president but I may consider running for a class of fice.” Sam Vahey, junior in busi ness and a UIS member, an nounced his candidacy Mon day afternoon and so far he is the only definite candidate.
