UofC Fraternities Wear Black In Protest to Drinking Ban BERKELEY, Cal., — (UP) — Fraternity men paraded in black arm bands and flew flags at half mast Wednesday in impromptu but good-natured demonstrations inspired by a stern official warn ing against student drinking. One of the signs read: “First loyalty oaths; now temperance; sex next.” The office of U. of C. President Robert Gordon Sproul sent each campus of the University of Cali fornia a set of regulations cover ing “The Common Standards of Morality and Good Taste” which should govern conduct of the schools and their recognized stu dent activities. Outlaws Bars The order specifically outlawed the serving of intoxicating bever ages in fraternities and student gatherings, and banned the instal lation or maintenance of bars. The latter rule supposedly would re quire removal of any such bars now in existence. It was understood fraternity spokesmen may ask a clarification of whether beer also will be prohi bited under the restated regula tions. Serving liquor in fraternity houses was banned under the pre vious rule, and by state law is ille gal anywhere within a one-mile radius of the Berkeley campus. No Beer on Campus At both the Berkeley and Los Angeles campuses students said nondrinking rules have been loose ly enforced in the past as long as parties “were discreet.” Students said the officials concentrated on seeing that organizations ended their parties at the proper times. At Stanford University last year’s students sounded out senti ment for legalizing beer on campus but discovered the trustees were cold to such a plan. The no-liquor rule was so rigid at Stanford at one time that professors living on campus dared not entertain with alcoholic beverages. Gates to Open at 11 For Portland Game Gates at Multnomah Stadium in Portland will open at 11 a.m. for the Washington-Oregon game Saturday. Students will enter gate B on S.W. 18th street. Howard Lem ons, Athletic business manager, stated that any student desir ing a seat should be there by 12:45 p.m. Today is the last day for stu dent’s wives to obtain tickets to this game, according to a state ment issued by the ticket office. Power Failure Threatens NW PORTLAND, Ore.,—(UP)— An 800-acre slash fire burning on a five-mile front Wednesday endan gered two 230,000-volt Bonneville transmission lines and threatened the Northwest with a power fail ure, the Bonneville Power Admini stration announced. In all probability, the BPA re ported, the fire will go through the lines and cause a Northwest power blackout similar to the one last month when an electrical storm passed over the Portland area. The fire was within three-quar ters of a mile of the lines. Should a snag or burning branch hit the lines, they would be short-circuited and the entire Bonneville power system overloaded. Two engineers from the J. D. Ross substation at Vancouver, Wash., were flying to the site of the Beacon Rock fire to check on its progress. Firefighters were hampered by 35 - mile - an - hour winds out of the Columbia Gorge. The first area to have a power interruption would be metropoli tan Portland. If the circuit were overloaded, every major communi ty in Oregon and Washington would have electrical failure, the BPA said. Order Mums Now For Portland Game Gals who want to look sharp at the Portland Game should order their mums before 2 p.m. Friday lest they find themselves without one. Portland florists warn that mums will be scarce because so many were sent to New Orleans this week for the All Saints day celebration.

They may be ordered and paid for at the Co-op, and picked up Saturday at Lubliner Florist, on Morrison between Sixth and Broadway, Portland, near Multnomah Stadi um.

Twenty-Four Vehicle Pile-Up Mars Bay Bridge Accident Record SAN FRANCISCO, (UP)—The lower deck of the Bay Bridge, with relatively few accidents marring the record of its heavy bus and truck traffic, lost some of its dis tinction Wednesday in a spectacu lar 24 vehicle pile-up apparently caused by one of the season’s heaviest fogs. Bridge highway patrolmen called it the “worst day ever” on the heavily-trafficked lower deck. Four men were injured and hospitalized. Heavy bus and truck traffic and electric trans-bay trains were stalled for 30 minutes when a key system bus collided with the rear of a truck, slamming the truck into a truck trailer combination that had stopped to avoid a skid ding truck trailer right between Yerba Buena Island and the toll gate. Three other trucks, a fire truck and a tow-car became in volved. A "chain reaction” was touched off with 15 other cars piling up be hind in rear end collisions, police reported. The heavy fog blanketed San Francisco and northern San Mateo County and shut down San Fran cisco airport for an hour between 4 and 5 a.m.
