We believe that it adds not only to the interest in, but also to the values to be derived front Oregon-Oregon State athletic competition. “But we believe that it is best expressed on the playing field and in the cheering sections, and by justifiable pride in our institu tions, and not by destruction and vandalism. “Therefore, we urge our students not to participate in raids or other activities likely to result in prop erty damage or personal injury, and as a further deterrent, we agree that: “1. Our students, individually and collectively, shall be liable for the costs of repairing damage at the other institution. “2.

An Editorial Brutus Hamilton, director of athletics at the University of California, was asked Monday about a post-season playoff game against Oregon. “I’m opposed to such a game for purely academic rea sons,” he said. “Our academic pace is very fast and our boys need time to devote to their studies. The kids would like to meet Oregon but it's purely a matter of getting the proper amount of studying done.” * * * OH YEAH? DuShane, Richey Differ On Frosh Housing Plan Donald M. DuShane, director of student affairs, and War ren Richey, Interfraternity council president, presented oppos ing viewpoints on the freshman housing plan over KORE’s Pa cific Coast Roundup newscast yesterday evening. The fifteen-minute program featured telephone interviews. DuShane spoke for the policy, stating that he is confident that the student body as a whole would benefit substantially from the plan, which would enable all freshmen, Greeks and‘inde pendents, to live together for a year, with a common Universi ty experience, an opportunity for better acquaintance and the development of mutual respect. “We are proud of our fraternities and sororities,” he continued. “We are convinced that this proposal will improve and strengthen them, and not only will not impair the best interests of the dormitories but will lead to a better understanding be tween Greeks and' independents, and a definite improvement in Univer sity spirit and morale.” Speaking in behalf of fraternities and sororities, Warren Richey stat ed that Greek organizations agree with the administration on the de sired results, but can’t see how the present plan will bring those re sults. ‘‘For example,” Richey said, ”how can the problems of the freshmen be reduced when he is living in two places ? One of the strongest ob jections to the plan is that it will increase the freshman’s living costs $7 to $8 monthly—no small item to a college student.

Spotlight On Games This Week By Glenn Gillespie Hie Rose Bowl picture is stilt muddled, everyone except Uni versity of California backers fa vor an Oregon-California play off game, and all eyes will be turned toward Corvallis and Berkeley Saturday, November zu. 'Phis was the situation in the playoff controversy yesterday. Af ter a straight decline from Califor nia Atheltic Director Brutus Ham ilton and a "no comment” from Cal Coach Lynn Waldorf, Oregon’s challenge to meet the California Bears in a post-season playoff game still stands, and University officials await further developments. Oregon Athletic Director Leo Harris issued a statement yester day, accusing California of dodging the playoff, which w-ould determine the Pacific Coast Conference Rose Bowl representative. Harris said California rejected a private chal lenge last week, but added that he had not given up hope. Hamilton declined the Webfoot. proposal for what he termed “aca demic reasons.” Harris said he was re-issuing the challenge publicly because “everyone interested in in tercollegiate football and the Rosa Bowl would prefer to have the se lection of the Conference represen tative in the 11)49 Rose Bowl gamo depend on the result of a game be tween the two schools.” Howard Lemons, Oregon Athletic Business Manager, indicated that Oregon “made every concession” in attempting to arrange the playoff contest, givng California the choice of time and place. Although the two schools are not scheduled to meet this year, Oregon officials attempted to arrange a game with California when the 1948 PCC schedule was drawn up last year. Harris said he first made the chal lenge to California in a telephone call last Thursday, after talking it over with Oregon officials. Califor nia atheltic officals declined then, waiting to depend on a Conference vote if the two schools fnish the season in their present tie. “Oregon has done everything pos sible to arrange a playoff game with California, without success,” Har ris stated, adding that he had offer ed to play on California’s home field at Berkeley and give California tho choice of the only two possible dates. Under conference rulings, those were November 27 and December f, the latter date the PCC deadline on games between member schools. The proposed playoff naturally depends on the outcome of two games this Saturday. Both teams remain undefeated in Conference play this season, but have one game left on the 1948 schedule.
