Re-Election Campaign Launched by Skelton I»y JO ANNE THOMPSON I.ithi.iM Staff Writer K(*ith 1). Skelton, associate professor of business law at the University, is running for re election to Position Number Two in the Oregon State Legislature. Skelton, who was elected to the legislature in 1959, 19111 and 1905, says that he is the "only member of the faculty in any institution who has ever served on the legis lature," His candidacy is made possible by a 1957 amendment to the state constitution allowing teachers to run for public office. in past legislative sessions, Skelton has served on various committees, including Ways and Means, Governmental Kcorgani nation, Highway Finance, Educa tion, Public Health and Welfare, Judiciary, Fiscal, Taxation, and Labor and Management Commit tees. Skelton’s program in the 1906 campaign encompasses a number of proposals favoring tax relief a^ well as education. The Fiscal Committee, of which Skelton is a founder member, has "adopted a fiscal recommenda tion which will, if accepted, lower property taxes and provide more help from the city and state,” he said. Skelton is now, as far as he knows, “the only Democrat in the House with extensive fiscal ex perience. There is only one or two Republicans with the same experience.” Skelton, who classifies himself ASUO Positions Need Petitioners Petitions are now being ac cepted for ASUO positions, and more applicants are badly need ed, according to Lee Bollinger, ASUO Vice President.

This summer he worked to find Democratic candidates so that the Democrats will be able to gain a majority in the House. “We may be able to take it,” he stated, “and if we do, there’s a good chance I’ll be Speaker of the House.” Skelton remains fairly confident that he will be successful in this campaign. "I have been elected every time I have run,” he said, “and unless I am mistaken, I will be elected again. Film Society Sets Program Sunday A film version of the theatre classic by Harold Pinter, "The Caretaker," will be presented by the University Film Society at 7 and 9 15 p m. Sunday in the Uni versity Theatre. "The Guest" is the title of the screen play, in which Donald Pleasance recreates his stage role as the destitute old sponger who shares a cluttered apartment with two brothers—one, a garrulous violent fellow, and the other, re strained and watchful. The interaction of these three personalities has compelling itn plications concerning the status of human existence Critic Stanley KaufTman writes that "The Guest" is a "fascinat ing, funny, eerie film, a work of murky evocations boiling out of grubby naturalistic minutiae.” "The Guest" is one of lfJ films being presented by the Univer sity Film Society this year. Other offerings range from a nostalgic look at films of the 1930’s to a Japanese version of Gorky's “The Lower Depths." Only Film Society members may attend the programs Membership tickets may be pur chased at the University Theatre box office Sunday, beginning at 6 p.nt. The price is 16 adinis sions for $5.00 or five admis sions for $2 00. DuShane Elected Donald M.
