Civil War Plagues Two Campuses for Ten Days By LARKY LAU Barring a post-game free-forall, the final whistle in today's game will see the end of ten days of in i ensified civil warfare between the students of Oregon and Oregon State. Not since the lusty, free-swing- j ing ante-bellum days of 199 has ■i eeling reached such a peak. Ag- . gieville maintains its campus be gan to take on a yellowish hue twoj weeks ago. Webfooters say the j ‘Pranging” of the “O" November! >2 started the ball rolling. With eyes widely innocent, both sides | fasten the blame on the other. A week ago Friday four Beavers were caught on the Oregon cam-; pus with cans of orange paint. Ter- i ror-stricken at the idea of being tossed to the Oregon student body, the long-toothed boys agreed to put in four hard hours shoveling sawdust at the physical plant. You might say they were the first cas ualties in this not-so-cold war. Over the weekend both campuses received preliminary daubings. Monday evening a report of car loads of OSC students headed for Eugene was spread by the Betas and Phi Psis and thence to the ATOs and the vets dorms. Twenty minutes later over a thousand cam pus males had deserted their beds and desks to repel a possible inva sion. At the height of the excitement, between midnight and 1 a.m., there were an estimated 200 cars jammed to the gunwales with Ore gon students, patrolling the cam dus area. Eugene city police were driven frantic trying to slow them down. Despite this iron wall of defense an OSC car slipped through and manager 'to decorate Mac court with three small signs and start a fire near the Dads' gates. The fire was put out before any permanent damage had been done. Abandoned cans of paints, replete with brush es, testified to the Staters evident decision that Eugene was no safe place for them. This same Monday evening sev- J eral carloads of Oregon students made the trip to Corvallis; and | with much better success. The home economics building, the chem istry building, education hall, the j houses of Sigma Chi, DU, Fiji, ■ Kappa Sigma, nnd Sigma Phi Ep I silon were all splashed freely with yellow and green paint. Numerous parked cars received a similar bap tism. A slight hitch developed when one of the Oregon Raphaelites was caught by the Corvallis police. Three of the prisoner’s companions returned to face the music with him ... all four were jugged. Once back at Oregon it looked for awhile as if they would be caught in ‘the web of officialdom and expelled. It was announced that the cul prits would be let off with a stern reprimand. The deans of men at both institutions announced that any future raiders would be liable to expulsion. trable guard system was devised to protect the Oregon campus. Ev ery men’s living organization sent its quota of sleepy-eyed cannon rodder out into the night to guard ^ rhe sacred bricks. The coeds con fined their activities to sporadic sheering from darkened balconies. * Wednesday around noon an OSC plane buzzed the Oregon campus ind dropped numerous, but unim iginative, “Beat Oregon” leaflets, OSC squad car set fire to two if the twenty-five piles of mate rial gathered for the bonfire. Dur ng the everiing and early morning several OSC cars were chased out if town. Still no casualties. A Thursday, Oregon’s famed mas ;ot, “Puddles” was reported ’mis sing. Campus “guns” considered . rhis a "bear” story as reliable re ports had “Puddles” enjoying an nteresting week on the second - (Please turn to page three) WHAT DO THEY SEE IN THE CRYSTAL BALL??

Hope that all the alums who participat ed in last evening’s ear deafening and awing activities have recuper ated enough to attend the Bill Hay ward Fish Fry, the game, and the dance on today’s schedule! Incidentally, via Homecoming chairmen, word has come that the Fish Fry will really be some thing—withr grand things in store for Bill as well as alums. Helpful hints to students. It has been suggested that A1 Pietsch man, the author of a column very similar to the one you are now reading, make detailed inquiries before he calls another person a “welcher” in his column. It’s li belous, Al! Another suggestion for inquiries goes to the Homecoming publicity writers. In yesterday’s Emerald, it was stated that Zata Sinclair, home coming hostess, would sit in the President's box at the game today —ain’t so! To those students who have been overly anxious to attend the little party that alumni are giving in the Eugene Armory following tomor row's game—you aren’t invited. But for true pleasure, you don’t need the party—you need a real cigarette! Chesterfield! A-always milder—B-better tasting—C-cooler smoking— ABC! Helpful hints to alums—The clos est spot for that post game snack is the Falcon—directly across from John Straub hall. And for a dinner nearby—there is no better place than tlje Anchorage—long a favor ite eating spot for Oregon students and alumni—even though the Mill Race no longer flows beneath its windows. For evening entertainment, the Holland, Eugene’s finest night erie, offers you the best in foods, entertainment, and dancing in an atmosphere of gaiety and refine ment. Clingman’s is the place to go for a steak to really make your mouth water! Just one and a half miles out Springfield highway for a piping hot steak with aroma plus! Remember—all you people who pick the right score for the game today -a. carton of Chesterfields will be waiting for you at the Em erald office. _ 4 Eugene Businessmen And Merchants 4 PENNYWISE DRUG 769 W. 6th Ore. 20 OSC 7 JENSEN'S DRUG 917 Willamette Ore. 13 OSC 7 HOFFMAN'S JEWELERS Broadway and Willamette Ore. 21 OSC 6 SPUDNUT SHOP llth on Campus Ore. 34 OSC 13 CLAYPOOL'S ‘ DRUG 13th on Campus Ore. 20 OSC 7 ENDICOTT'S RADIO SERVICE 1217 Alder Street Ore. 14 OSC 12 HIROM'S Everybody's Drug 9cS6 Willamette Ore. 26 OSC 7 | HOME BAKERY 86 F,.
