M .MBER SO
Goblins Quiet?
One Big Blast -
Along Millrace
The quietest Halloween In Eu
gene for many yearn was said Eu
gene Police Chief Ted Brown
Thursday evening, largely due to
the effoits of University of Oregon
students.
"We can give the University
credit for the early quiet period,"
lie explained. "Those hundreds of
kids at the parties would otherwise
have been around town trick-or
treating."
There were fewer complaint calls
into the station Wednesday night,
he remarked, than he could me
metnber on nny previous Hallo
ween night. Biown also credited
the police reserve, out in full
strength with the regular force, for
the unusual quiet.
Battered concrete ami exposed
earth Indicated that a blast heard
throughout the campus and town
about 1 :30 a m. Thursday origin
ated on south bank of the millrace,
just east of Hilyard st. bridge.
The seawall, which was badly
cracked and showed broken pipe
.lines, borders on the property of
Alpha Phi. Grace Sargent, Alpha
Phi president, said the blast knock
ed lamps off ihcVuills in the house
and practically "bounced" sleeping
gills out of bed.
Police, who are investigating the
explosion, at first feared it origin
ated from Oregon's much-abused
“O" on Skinner's butte.
The cement oval, however, was
not overlooked by pranksters. An
office girl in the department re
ported officers found it displaying
“about 15 different colors of
paint," applied sometime during
the evening.
Three Oregon students were ar
rested Wednesday night They
