Presidential Possibilities
'Undecided' About Plans
By Bob Robinson
Emerald Atiiitint Newt Editor
Possible UI8 and AOS can
didates were non-committal in
an Emerald poll Monday eve
ning on whether or. not they
planned to run for office in the
coming ASUO primary elections.
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.
Ransom pointed out that it is
quite important for all aspirants
to be sure that they get the of
ficial primary form and that they
Requirements
Academic requirements for
| nomination for ASUO primary
elections are as follows:
Candidates for the nomination
of president must have com
pleted at least three terms of
work at the University and
must have 110 credit hours prior
to nomination.
Aspirants for senior class of
fices are required to have com
pleted 110 hours of tvork.
Candidates for junior and
sophomore class officers must
have 65 and 24 credit hours re

designate on the form their po
litical party and the exact way
that they wish to have their
names printed on the ballot. He
also emphasized that all candi
dates must have at least 2.00
grade point average to be eligible
to file a petition.
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.
The six most important rules
are as follows:
1. No sign, poster or other pro
motional material shall bo
tacked, nailed or otherwise se
cured to trees and shruba of the
campus in such a way as to pene
trate the bark of the trees or
shrubs.
2. Use of sound equipment,
rallies and car parades in and
around the campus is limited to
the following hours: noon to 1
p.m., 5 to 7 p.m. and 10 to 10:30
p.m. Candidates are cautioned
to avoid the infirmary, Sacred
Heart hospital and residential
areas.
3. No sign of a political na
ture may be displayed in, on or
around the Student Union build
ing or grounds.
4. Each candidate is respon
sible for clearing the campus of
his literature after the cam
paign is concluded.
5. All campaigning must cease
before the opening of the polls
on election day.
6. No signs, posters or other
promotional material can be vis
able on the day of the election.
currently serving as junior class
president.
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.

exchange assembly will be pre
sented in the Student Union ball
