Oregon Pummels Troians
University Authorities
To Take Farris Case
“So far as the court is concern
k ed, all action required of it has
now been taken in the Farris
■ case," said Carl Weber, chairman
of the traffic court in an official
. statement clarifying the stand and
functions of the court.
t "Since the student traffic court
operates in cooperation with the
office of student affairs and the
ASUO traffic court, and since J.
Kelly Farris has refused to rec
ognize the jurisdiction of the traf
fic court, his case has been turned
• over to University authorities to
be handled as a disciplinary mat
. ter,” stated Weber.
Speaking for the office of stu
dent affairs, Donald M. DuShane,
director of student affairs, would
» not comment on the disciplinary
aspects of the Farris case, stating
. that such action is "normally not
made public." He did clarify Uni
versity authority for such action.
• "The University’s disciplinary
power is established in the State
, Board of Higher Education policy
and specifically covers student
automobiles and their use. More
over, the faculty-student disci
plinary committee has explicitly
confirmed University authority in
• relaiton to student cars.”
The purpdse of the court—"to
be available to the student who
- has received a traffic ticket and
believes that extenuating circum
stances warrant his ticket being
, excused or voided ... to give a
student a chance to talk over the
. matter with a group of his fellow
ftudents rather than being called
« directly on the disciplinary car
• pet,” was explained by Weber.

“To my knowledge, the admin
istration has /lever interfered with
a court decision favoring a stu
dent. An unfavorable decision,
however, may always be appealed
by the student to the office of stu
dent affairs. That no student has
made such an appeal during the
last year is probably due in part to
the courteous and informal atmos
phere which the student court
seeks to achieve,’’ said Weber.
"The court does something more
for student government than just
aid the administration in the en
forcement of parking tickets,”
Weber continued, pointing out that
the court prepares reports on all
phases of campus traffic, and
works closely with the University
authorities, assisting in the full
utilization of parking spaces.
“With the possible exception of
a minor college a few miles north
of us, the University of Oregon
has what is probably the rainiest
campus in the United States,” the
traffic court chairman added,
“and there is much justification,
therefore, for the desire of each of
our 1500 car owning students (and
an unknown additional number of
faculty and university employees)
to want to park as close as pos
sible to the building of his des
tination.”
KWAX Frequency
Change Approved
Approval from the Federal Com
munications commission to change
the FM frequency of the cam
pus radio station, GWAX, from
881 to 89.1 megacycles was re
ceived last week.

ing via FM since the start of fall
term when it was discovered that
local reception of television sta
tion KOIN-TV interfered with the

KWAX is scheduled to resume
its FM broadcasts in approxi
mately two weeks.

J. Nelson Hurt
In Plane Crash
D«*an Van Leuven and Jerry
Nelson, University of Oregon
football players, were found
Sunday by the Coast Guard and
taken to an Astoria hospital
after their light plane crashed
Saturday night in a western
Washington forest near the Col
umbia river.
The two students, both play
ers in Oregon’s 13-7 upset game
over Southern California Sat
urday, were cut and bruised
when Van Leuven’s private Cess
na crashed into the trees. They
were also suffering from ex
posure after spending the night
in the open under a steady rain.
Fullback Van Leuven, who
had 24 stitches taken in his
head, plans to return to the
campus early this week. How
ever, Nelson’s plans for return
ing to the University are un
known pending results of x-rays
of his leg injuries.
The two Oregon players took
off from Scappoose airport, 30
miles northwest of Portland,
Saturday night, headed for Ban
don, Van Leuven's home town.
Van Leuven usually flies home
after a Portland game. A search
was begun for the two Sunday
morning when the plane was
reported long overdue. After the
crash, Van Leuven and Nelson
had made their way to the river
bank, where they were spotted
by Coast Guardsmen late Sun
day morning.

'J he walls of Troy fell Saturday, but it wasn’t because of a Tro
jan horse.
It was because Coach Len Casanova’s inspired football squad
played the type of championship football it has been capable
of playing all season.
The University of Oregon eleven upset the fourth ranked
team in the nation, University of Southern California, 13-7 on
the turf of Multnomah Stadium in Portland, beneath cool, cleat;
skies.

well.
At the end of the game, every
one of the 17,772 fans in the sta
dium was limp with mixed joy and
disbelief — but not the Oregon
gridders. They had been grooming1
for the upset all week, and when
the final gun sounded, the Duck*
were happy, but not surprised.
Before the gun had finished
echoing back and forth across the
field, Fullback Larry Rose, End
Len Berrie, and Tackle Dick Bark
er had hoisted "Cas" unto their
shoulders and were carrying him
across the field.
Students, alums, spectators, and
little kids with autograph books
defied the anouncer’s pleas to
"stay off the playing field," and
rushed onto the turf, shaking
hands, waving pencils, slapping
backs and shouting congratula
tions. As far as Oregon was con
cerned, a good times was had by
all.
The jubilee carried to the dress
ing room, where the team counted
off the score, "one, two, three,
four . . . twelve, thirteen." "Cas"
praised his boys after the game,
faying they did "one helluva job
of fighting.”
The beaming coach didn’t point
out any particular players because
the whole squad "turned in a bang
up performance.”
George Shaw, the talented jun
ior who played quarterback, left
end and right end at different
times during the game, received
special mention from his coach for
the brilliant job he did in the dy
ing minutes of the game, running
the clock out.
And “Cas" pointed out Dick
James, who turned in the cut
standing defensive play of the
game, a pass interception late in
the contest just when USC was
driving toward a possible TD. The
