Is it a Bird? Is it a Plane? CAC Mystery Bewilders Students By Larry Meiser Is it a Communist infiltration of the Oregon campus? Can it be a new political party ? Or is it a rival to Lucky BOCK which came March 14? CAC is coming to the Univer sity, posters reveal, and as a pub lic service the Emerald interviewed several students yesterday in an effort to solve the puzzle of just what CAC does stand for. Beth Coleman is sure that it means Camels Are Coming, while Elwin Paxin, i apparently more conscious of the subversive influ ence, says that the Coalitionists’ Arson Club is coming. A simpler approach is taken by Bob Miller who says that it simply means CAC is coming, or Larry Neer who feels that someone mis spelled car. It can be nothing but Cooled Air Currents according to Cary Con ley. CAC, “Challenging All Comers,” may be a new course in the jour nalism school worried Gloria Bil lings. Maybe a new government bureau, Coordinated Association Consolidated, lamented Phyllis Hoffman. “I don’t give a damn. I don’t have any money and if I did I would spend it for beer,” Robert G. H. Robinson commented when inter viewed. Again the political viewpoint was taken by Marilyn Belton, "Communists Aren’t Cute." Some what conversely “CAC stands for Cuddles Are Cute”, said Barbara Patterson. But among people who seemed to know there was only terse, "No comment.” The riddle stands un solved until tomorrow when the Emerald may announce a rival to PIC, CLIK, and LOOK or a new world government plan.
