Agreement In
Hour Session
By Bob Robinson
Emsrtld Auitlant N«w» Editor
The University’s political ti
tans locked horns Wednesday
afternoon and after a 60-minute
questing and answer session most
of an interested audience was in
agreement that both were worthy
candidates.
The two politicians, ASUO
presidential aspirants Sam Vahey
of the United Independent Stu
dents and Bud Hinkson of the
Associated Greek Students, were
pretty much in agreement in an
swering most of the questions
pos'd by the audience of ap
proximately 60 students in the
Student Union coffee hour forum.
In fact, on only tw-o discussion
points did the two candidates
completely oppose each other. As
a result most of the session was
spent with the two hopefuls ex
plaining and answering questions
on these points.
Greek Week?
The first .of the controversial
two was the question of the fu
ture of Greek Week on the cam
pus. Hinkson expressed the feel
ing of the Greeks when he said
"Greek Week is not designed for
all students but is patterned
strictly for the fun of the
Greeks.”
Vahey, objecting to the way
that the event was handled on
’ampits this year, stated that
Bud is right in saying Greek
i Week is none of our business,
but when the festivity begins to
affect other students on cam
pus it is time for student govern
ment to intervene.’’
Vahey was careful to point out
that he had no objections to the
week as a yearly activity but he
said that “this year many of
the freshmen girls were hurt,
! some of t hem even cried to their
I counselors, because they felt they
were being left out.”
The UIS candidate suggested
j that a possible solution would
be to “let all students take part
i in the Greek Week activities.”
Second Disagreement
The other point on which the
two came into conflict was on the
; matter of the campus open pri
mai-y election.
Hinkson, supporting the AGS
j platform stand for its discontinu
ance, said that he believed “the
• open primary a^d cross-voting
' definitely causes apathy in stu
dent government.”
The stocky AGS aspirant went
on to say that he couldn’t “see
1 much sense in having pampas
political parties other than for
! the excitement around election
j time.”
Vahey Favors Primary
Vahey took exactly the oppo
site stand. He emphasized that
be favored the open primary “at
least until some better system
