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.
The mums will be decorated with
water-proof ribbon and carry a
large, green chenille “O”. 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.
