Ex-Dean of J School Relates Experience -In Streamliner Crash (Ell. No**: Cliff Weigle, pro fessor of journalism at Standard university an done time dean of journalism at tlie University of Oregon, was a passenger on the City of San Franeiseo when it rammed Into the rear end of the City of Cos Angeles Monday. He deserlhes the erash and its after math in the following dispatch.) * * • By Cliff Weigle (As told to United Press) EVANSTON, WYO. (U,R> — That's as close as I ever want to come to death. I was sitting in the washroom of the front coach of The City of San Francisco when it plowed into the rear of The City of Los Angeles passenger train five miles west of here Monday. It was a scene I never want to see again. Without any warning the train stopped with a terrific jolt and threw furniture across the wash room and banged it against the forward wall. I walked back in the coach and saw passengers and luggage thrown all over the floor of the car. The car was off the tracks. Practically everybody in our car got a bump of some kind. I got a sore rib. I looked out of our coach and 4 forward to where our locomotive hit the observation car of The City of Los Angeles. It was a complete shambles. Our locomotive was literally buried under the wreckage of the Los Angeles observation car. It was snowing all the time and there was about a foot of snow oon the ground. We were about 300 yards from the highway then and after the first hour at the scene only one stretcher had been taken out. We were told they needed cutting equipment to get into the wreck age of the locomotive ar.d obser vation car. All up and down the line cars were derailed. It's just unbelievable the way those cars were torn to pieces. T don't see how anyone got out of that observation car alive. A wom an told me she saw' a doctor she had met earlier on the Los Angeles. He was decapitated. But one thing about it there after the crash—there were no screams of pain, no one shouting for help. It was just a dead silence. The railroad men here just can't imagine what happened. Snow covered the block signals, I guess, and stopped the Los Angeles. Then more of this snow obscured the vision of the engineer on our- train and wre hit. I was headed for Detroit and the national convention of the Sigma Delta Chi fraternity when the wreck happened. Greeks Plan Jazz Concert For Monday Plans for sponsoring an appear ance of Jazz at the Philharmonic by the Associated Creek Students were told at a meeting of AOS rep resentatives Tuesday afternoon. However, for the plans to go : through, all members of AGS must approve the sponsorship, Larry Dean, president, of AGS, said. As i of 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, 28 houses had approved the plans with four! more yet to report. After approval of the houses, the student affairs committee must also consider the j plans. Dean said. If all necessary steps are hur dled,, Dean reported, the musical group will appear Monday from 7 to 10 p.m. in McArthur court, j Tickets would be $1.80 per person, 1 with a few special reserved seats at $2.40. Proceeds from the pro gram would go to the Eugene! Crippled Children's Hospital. I Inns Heady Dean and Stu McCollom, who' was one of six Oregon students 1 who originally planned to sponsor : the band, outlined the plans to the group. Dean said that all plans ’ for promotion and publicity were j or would be made and only the ( final approval of the student af- | fairs committee would hold up full- ; seale promotion of the event. Also during the meeting. Dean announced that Alpha Tau Omega were considering changing their political affiliations. He termed the announcement, “unofficial and off the record.“ and said that hr had received no petitions from the ; group to that effect. Dean went on to remind mem- j bers of the AGS constitution ruling which states that parties returning ‘ to the AGS party after having! broken affiliations would be kept ! from nominating candidates for j political office for one year follow- I ing their return. Err.ie Baldini. vice president of j ATO an dformer United Students association president, denied the | statement when contacted later , He said, "Where the rumor got started is beyond my comprehen sion.

Last week the OSC newspaper spoke of a PUC hearing, but no of ficial action has been taken. Pay phones were due to be in stalled in OSC fraternities, sorori ties and cooperatives several weeks ago.
