Proposed Plan Would Eliminate 'Class Parties'
By BOB STEWART
The reorganization plan will be voted on as an amendment to the ASC constitution in a special all-student election Wednesday, March 19.
One of the acknowledged purposes of the new plan of Student Council reorganization is to eliminate the "Greek-Independent split."
At present, the two principal campus political parties, Pachacamac and FACTS, are designed to appeal to two different classes of feeling, the Greeks and the Independents. Thus, they might well be called "class parties."
Pachacamac has generally received its support in the past from students in sororities and fraternities. FACTS, a year-old party, has found its support mainly from Independents, although it claims to be an "all-campus party."
The method used by the plan is to build up campus political parties, but to build them up on a different basis than they are built on now.
Thus, the biggest difference between the two parties has been derived from the fact that they stand for different classes of students.
Leaders behind the reorganization agreed that the current setup is a faulty basis for campus political parties. They reasoned that the parties quibble over political issues and tend to overlook campus problems.
Because of this, students very seldom know the position of the candidates on campus problems since a college student's account to them is political affiliation.
From this type of voting, the biggest loser has been student government.
Reorganization leaders have designed the new plan with a view to strengthen student government. This can be done, they reasoned, by putting election of representatives more on a basis of issues. This would take ASC elections out of the category of "popularity contests."
If the new plan is approved, candidates of political parties will be chosen by means of a special party primary in which only the members of a residence-district involved will vote.
The significance of this provision is that residence-districts alone will decide on their own candidates for election. Thus, if a party wishes to run a slate of nominees in a certain district, it must first find persons living in that district whose opinions on campus issues correspond to the opinions of the party.
Under the new plan, final candidates would be chosen from the list of party nominees by means of a closed party primary within the district. These candidates would have their names put on the ballot of the general election, and the winners from each district would be chosen by vote of all the students in the University.
