YR's Defer Vote On Endorsement The Young; Republicans Thurs day night decided to take no ac tion on the College League board’s recommendation to endorse Philip Hitchcock on the GOP primary, since a quorum was lacking at their meeting. Jim McKenney, president, re linquished the chair to express his views. He said "It is not the function of the Young Repub licans to endorse any candidate ..." He said although the con stitution allowed College League clubs to endorse candidates, he believed "It would dictate the views of certain members" and | that "it might lead to factions.” Gerald Jones, president of the Western Federation of Young Republicans and co-chairman of the coming pre-primary conven tion in Eugene this weekend said "I don't think there would be any split. Regardless of whom you endorse, it's to work for good can didates.'' The group decided to approach all members of the club before making a decision. Dissent Expected Meanwhile, Associated Press reports Thursday quoted Young Republican leaders throughout the state as saying they expected a floor fight at the convention, on whether the group should endorse Douglas McKay or Hitchcock for the GOP nomination for the sen ate spot. The AP quoted Jim Hatfield, state chairman of the group in Salem, as saying he and other leaders were agreed the organiza tion as a whole should not choose sides but that there will un doubtedly be those who don’t agree with this. (Please turn to payc six) Senate Passes Amendment To Constitution An amendment to the ASUO constitution which would do away with the all-campus pri mary' and would provide for an ASUO ballot divided as to ASUO presidential and senator-at-large candidates was passed Thursday night by the senate. The amendment, proposed by graduate representative John Whitty, will be voted upon by the student body at a special election tentatively set for April 25. One-third of the student body would have to vote in this elec tion for it to be valid, and of this number two-thirds would have to vote affirmatively in order for the amendment to pass. The proposal allows for a bal lot in which ASUO presidential candidates would be voted upon among themselves, and in which losing candidates would automat ically by considered for senator at-large. In the class elections, it works in the opposite that is, candidates for class president would not be considered for class representative. Delegates Sent To YMCA Meet The campus YMCA will send a delegation to the West winds Con ference. the district YMCA out ing. this week-end at Westwinds Camp, according to Dick Shaw, publicity chairman.

Close Vole, 18-15 Ends Hour Debate Associated Greek Students, by a vote of 18-15, voted to abolish itself '1 bur-day afternoon. Following more than an hour of debate, including the proposal of a resolution by which AGS would abandon all political activity," the house representatives made their A KUO President Bud Hinkson’s i proposed resolution came as a surprise to^ most delegates. It was tabled until after considera- ‘ tion of the proposed abolition, the matter upon which most houses instructed their delegates. If the vote for dishanding had failed to pass, presumably the i group would have reconsidered the plan. Senior Class President Martin , Brandenfels spoke up first, after Darrel Britt san opened the floor for discussion. He attacked the argument that disbanding the party would de stroy Greek unity. Citing house competition in rushing, campus honors and ac tivities. and intramural athletics, he said Greeks now fight Greeks in the AGS primary. He compared AGS to a "grape hanging on the limb of the Greek , system." and said the party was the result, not the cause, of Greek unity. Hinkson then explained the multi-party system, which he proposed as a substitute for the two-party system, i Jerry Farrow, one of those i fighting abolition, said "we all agree a change is needed.” He proposed defeating the motion to j abolish the party and then reach- 1 ing some compromise before the spring elections. Don Bonftne, former AGS presi dent. asserted that AGS had put up good men for office in the past and especially praised Hinkson i for the way he had conducted his office. He said there was no reason to change a system that had worked so well. ”A step forward,” was the way Hinkson described the action of AGS. He was one of the first to suggest the multi-party system, along with Brandenfels. Brittsan.

Student Health Service Sets Up New Proqram A new sanitation program has been set up by the student health service as the result of findings of the public health survey taken winter term. The prograin will cost a total of nearly $20,000. Of this. $17, 000 will go for a new x-ray unit which will allow the health ser vice to give more repeat chest examinations, and the remainder will go for an additional nurse. Under the existing program, students are x-rayed only when they enroll for the first time. The new unit would allow addi tional x-rays to be made of re turning students each year. Ideal ly a person should be x-rayed once each year for tuberculosis. Additional Nurse The nurse will be available half-time to work with living or ganizations. Specially trained, she will be concerned particular ly with campus kitchens, which were the center of the problems found in the health survey. Victor C. Morgan, senior sani tarian of the Lane county health department, made the survey at the request of Dr. Fred N. Mil ler, director of the student health service. During winter term 16 living organizations picked at random were inspected without warning by a team of two men. Guides from the committee on hygiene of housing of the Ameri can Public Health association and from the U. S. Public Health service code regulating eating establishments, formed the basis for inspections. Worst Problems Worst problems found in the survey were a lack of bacterici day treatment of dishes, plumb ing defects, inadequate milk cans, defective garbage cans and (Please turn to page six)
