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.”

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. He must not only

December 1 'Oregon Day7 at Museum
Oregon students will have the
opportunity to see a historical col
lection of world famous paintings
from the Kaiser Freiderich mu
seum in Berlin Wednesday Decem
ber 1, when the exhibition will be
in Portland.
Bus tickets will be sold at the
Co-op Monday through Thursday
of this week by Kwama, sopho
more women’s honorary, at the
price of $3.30 round trip on char
tered buses. The buses will leave
at 7 a.m. from the Greyhound de

exhibit will be excused from class
es. Excuses will be given out at
the Portland Art museum.
The collection is composed of 95
paintings from the two largest pre
war Berlin museums, the Kaiser
Friederich museum and the Ger
man national gallery. The pictures
are representative of the works of
59 old masters—including Austrian
Dutch, Flemish, French, German,
Italian, and Spanish painters.
Part of a collection of over 200
paintings were brought to this
country during the war; they are
in federal custody. They were hid
den in salt mines in Germany for
safe-keeping during the war and
were found by American soldiers
of General Patton’s third army.
Guarded by army military police,
the masterpieces will remain on
display in Portland for eight days.
The exhibit, which contains pic
tures by such masters as Kem
brandt, Titian, and Frans Has, is
insured for $80,000,000. Through
the influence of Senator Wayne L. '■
Morse, Portland was designated as
the only city ill the Northwest
where the paintings will be shown.
An admission fee of 30 cents will
be charged each person, all of the
proceeds going to the relief of Ger
man children.
Additional information about the
collection and the trip can be se

'Phis was the situation in the

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.
