Dick Williams, educational ac tivities manager, traveled to Port land Friday to discuss the situa tion with the lithographers, who voted to quit work at 11:59 p.m. that night. They were still trying to work out a settlement, and were to call Williams yesterday to tell him of developments, but he had heard nothing by 5 p.m. While the lithographers may be on strike, according to Williams, he believes the duration of the strike may be in doubt, since he has not received any word from Portland. The Oregana could sitll be dis tributed spring term if the strike lasts three weeks or less. If the duration of the strike is longer, the yearbook would have to be mailed to students sometime during the summer.

Good Despite eighth Place 'Buck Fever' Hampers Rifle Squad By Bill Clothier Though the University of Oregon ROTC rifle team did not finish first in the Sixth Army matches held this January, they did finish five notches ahead of Oregon State. Seventeen teams, including most of the major colleges on the Pacific coast, partici pated in the match. The University of San Fran cisco took first honors and Oregon wound up in eighth place. Sergeant M. D. Mudd, an army veteran of 22 years, coached the Oregon team. He offered no execuses for not getting the blue ribbon, but noted with sorrowful pride: “This team was one of the best I’ve ever handled, no better than this one. I still think they are just as good as USF. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays we could shoot the pants off the other teams. Buck fever, just a bad case of buck fever, that's all it was.” 10-Man Squad Firing for Oregon were Charles Hallin, Lowell Apjlet, William Hall, Robert Thomas, Irwin Holz man, Gordon Swan, Ted Colley, Dean Forbes, Fred Hooper, and Donald Jacobsen. The shoot is held at the respective ROTC cam puses. The record firing is supervised by an officer and the targets are sent to Sixth Army headquar ters for final grading.
