Proposal to Rebuild 'O' Under Consideration
THIS LAST SPRING REPAIR ATTEMPT FAILED
by Anne Ritchey
Emerald Feature Editor
As soon as men’s rushing is
over there is going to be some
action taken on the Oregon “O”
atop Skinner’s Butte.
According to Ray Hawk, direc
tor of men’s affairs, a proposal
for reconstruction will be made
at the first Inter-fraternity coun
cil meeting, in conjunction with
the ASUO senate, and the propos
al will be submitted to the city
council of Eugene.
The reason for all the concern
about the “O” by top officials of
both the University and the city
dates back, most recently, to last
spring term. As usual, the “O”
had been cleaned and painted in
connection with Junior Weekend
activities. Under the general
chairmanship of Milan Foster, the
members of Delta Upsilon frater
nity had undertaken the job.
The rejuvenation process went
off smoothly and with no more
conflict than usual, until prank
sters, said to have been from Ore
gon State college, decided to cause
trouble. They set off several series
of dynamite blasts, the most ef
fective of which changed the "O”
into a perfect “C,” and then they
painted it orange.
The dynamitings were quite se
vere, and one of them scattered
cement and stone into the lawns of
neighboring houses, with the re
sult that 123 indignant citizens
presented a petition requesting its
complete removal.
This petition was taken before
the city council, then under the
direction of Oren King, city man
ager. Attending the meeting as a
representative of the student body
was Craig Weatherford, who had
served on the repair committee.
At this meeting, held at the
end of spring term, the council de
cided upon a policy which will
govern all such matters in the
future, and which the University
is taking into consideration now as
a proposal is being formulated.
This policy, in King’s words
is and will be that we “don’t want
the O obliterated, but we must
face the realistic problem of paci
fying the citizenry.” This would
seem to indicate that there must
be some change in the construc
tion of the controversial object,
and with this in mind a student
committee, formed last spring,
named two alternatives.
One is that the “O” could be
made of tin or a light sheet metal,
and fastened securely to the
ground. This would discourage
dynamite attempts, as would the
other alternative, which is that it
could be made of wood, instead
