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. Something
anyway!
