GRAFTON, President Vigilance Ass’n. (By Earle Richardson) Such are the resolutions made late last night by representatives of the University of Oregon and Oregon Agriculture college in a conference held in Eugene. The conference was held following the disappearance of the famous “Iron Woman” statue from the Aggie campus Thursday night to clear up the suspicion that Oregon students had committed the deed, thus breaking a pact made be tween the two institutions two years ago when Oregon students stole away the statue and brought it to Eugene a few days prior to the annual Ore gon-O. A. C. game. O. A. C. Students Enraged Feeling ran high yesterday at O. A. C. when the disappearance of the “iron woman” from the campus cast suspicion on Oregon as having brok en the pact in which it was agreed that the University of Oregon should never molest the statue again, and that O. A. C. should make no more attempts to paint the Oregon’ “O.” . All classes were suspended at the Oregon Agricultural college, accord ing to Mr. Teutsch, .and every effort was made see if the statue was hidden on the campus. A committee consisting of W. L. Teutsch, presi dent of the O. A. C. student body, and Jack Grafton, president of the vigilance committee, came to Eugene and conferred with Lindsay McAr thur, vice-president of the student body and senior member of the student council. In a meeting of the student council at 6:30 yesterday evening all know ledge of sanction of the plot was disclaimed, and the council imme diately took steps to help find the missing statue. At 9:30 last night high school students of Eugene high school told searchers from the Uni versity where the iron woman was hidden and confessed that they had driven to Corvallis in a machine on Thursday night and taken the sta tue from the O. A. C. campus. They had buried the statue near the end of Alder street. The committee from O. A. C. took the statue back to Corvallis with them.
