Packer Lauds Late Governor
Dr. Paul C. Packer, chancellor
of the state system of higher edu
cation, Friday issued the follow
ing statement concerning the
death of Governor Earl Snell, Sec
retary of State Robert Farrell and
Senate President Marshall Cornett:
The executive officers, faculties,
employees and student bodies of
the State System of Higher Educa
tion were stunned with the news of
the great tragedy which visited
the state of Oregon on Wednesday.
Words at such a time seem poor
instruments indeed to express our
deep sense of loss of our governor,
secretary of state, president of the
state senate and their pilot.
Throughout his long service in
state government, as legislator,
speaker, secretary of state, and
chief executive, Governor Snell
contributed a leadership to, and an
understanding of higher education
in a critical war period that has
meant much to the progress of the
institutions. The services of Mr.
Farrell and Mr. Cornett to higher
education, in their respective offi
cial positions, have been equally
distinguished.
Personally it has been my privi
lege to know these men little more
than a year, but during this short
period I learned that whenever the
education of the children of this
state was an issue, these leaders
would settle only for the best it
was in their power and leadership
to provide. Few are privileged to
leave such a fine heritage to those
who are to succeed them, as these
state officials who have been so
untimely taken from our midst.
'Exchange Riot' by Freshmen Results
(Continued from paye one)
Heads of Houses in a special meet
ing Monday afternoon, and that
body agreed to stand behind' the
dean if she suspended or otherwise
punished violators. They also
agreed that houses participating
in such activity would be placed
on social probation.
Representatives of heads of
houses were instructed to tell
their members of the group’s ac
tion. But the word didn’t get
around Susan Campbell, because
one of the speakers asked there
for religious evaluation week
stayed until quite late, and the
business meeting was postponed
until a later date.
Ruling Adopted
The ruling was also adopted by
Inter-fraternity council Tuesday
night at the behest of Dean Vergil
Fogdall.
Meanwhile, number of men
from Villard had gone over to
Susan Campbell hall Monday night
to steal the brass door plate.Some
body accidentally rang the bell,
arousing the girls. Lights turned
on,causing a retreat to be sounded.
In retaliation an undetermined
number of freshmen women went
to Villard hall Tuesday night and
“stormed” the venerable structure,
strewing leaves in the downstairs
hall, and screaming like co-eds.
When the Villard men heard co
ed noises in their front hall, some
of them came downstairs. Others
tossed buckets of water from the
second floor windows. A melee en
sued.
Confusing Again
Now the story gets confusing.
Some of Susan Campbell fresh
men had apparently bragged about
storming up to the “second and

third floors” of Villard hall, and I
doing a Hiroshima act.
There is no third floor in Villard
hall, and the Villard men deny that
any girls were romping around up
stairs. But the rumor was estab
lished, and this rumor came to
Maryann Thielen, president of Su
san Campbell, and to Mrs. Wick
ham.
There is also a story that from
one to four Susan Campbell girls
were dragged into Villard hall and
showered. But you won’t find a
Villard man who knows anything
about it.
Ail Quiet
By 9:30 Tuesday evening all
was quiet. There were no hard
feelings, and the two halls engaged
in a “very friendly” exchange des
sert Wednesday night.
When Mrs. Wickham returned to
Eugene Thursday, she was told of
Tuesday’s brawl, and discussed the
matter with Mrs. Genevieve Tur
nipseed, director of dormitories,
Miss F. McCamant, house mother,
and house officers. Then she sum
moned the girls.
More Confusing
The story gets confusing again.
The rumor floating around the
campus Thursday night was that
the dean that afternoon had made
unfounded charges about the girls
being upstairs for more than just
a riot, and that she told them they
would be suspended.
Dean Wickham says she told
them that bad publicity might re
sult from such riots, but that she
did not make any accusations. She
said she had threatehed them with
suspension, believing that a “good
scare” was proper punishment.
Buies Cited
She had already cited* student
affairs rules, printed in the Em
erald earlier in the term, which
specifically prohibited women in
men’s houses.
Mrs. Wickham says she left the i
hall Thursday afternoon, after
promising to return that night
with a final decision.
Meanwhile the hall rallied be
hind the 27 freshmen, and the hall
council let them know they would i
fight for them. The council even |
threatened to resign if a severe i
penalty were exacted.
Mrs. Wickham attended several J
other meetings between her visits
to Susan Campbell, and learned
that “this sort of thing had been
going on” to a much greater ex
tent than she had supposed. By the
time she returned, she said, she
had decided to lighten the sentence.
Penalty Lightened
Susan Campbell officers told her
they would resign if she imposed
the stiffer penalty. Mrs. Wick
ham told them, and told the Emer
ald, that she felt she was right
and that she would- not be cowed
by the house officers’ threat. But,
she said, she had already decided
to impose a lighter penalty.
Meanwhile there had been
copious tears in Susan Campbell
hall, with the’freshhneri1 girls fiian
tically telephoning thehir parents,
and engaging in mutual weeps.
After further conferences with
house officers the sentence was
reduced to two weeks “campus”!
for the alleged ringleaders, and one !
week “campus” for the other girls.
No Ringleaders
The freshmen said there were
no ringleaders, and declared they
would all take the two-week pen
alty, before they’d see certain girls'
bear the brunt of the punishment. *
This they did.
Dean Wickham admitted to thei
Emerald that she had told the|
girls that this affair would be held
against them, and that it vould'
be considered if any of them failed'
to make their grad^l this term.
She said a number of the girls
were poor students, had entered
the University with low prep dec
iles, and “did not have time for
this sort of thing.” She also said
that a couple of the alleged ring
leaders had had bad disciplinary
records in high school.
Legitimate Question
She warned that any further
infractions of the “no riot” edict of
the Heads of Houses and the IFC
could result in much more severe
punishments. She admitted there
was a legitimate question of “ig
norance of the law” in the Susan
Campbell case, a question that’
would nor. be entertained in any
other similar case following thig
one.
Some of the freshmen had mid
terms Friday and obviously did not
get much studying done Thursday
night. At least two ol the fresh
men (and the house president)
did not attend classes because of
«
nervous exhaustion.
But by Friday evening all wes
serene in Susan Campbell hall.
