An outburst of Oregon spirit
bewildered students, was cheered
by professors and set the campus
dogs in an uproar Monday when a
student rally upset afternoon
classes to celebrate the 13-7 foot
ball upset over USC.
“They'd all like to yell, but I
don't think they know the yells,”
commented one bystander watch
ing the milling crowd in front of
Johnson hall.
No one seemed to know how or
why the campus should "get the
spirit” 46 hours after the victory.
Professors seemed shocked when
morning class attendance showed
no more than the usual “after
Portland week-end” drop. Some
reported they didn't think any
students would show up for classes
Monday.
The adherence to schedule was
all dismissed as typical Oregon
apathy and the noon demonstra
tion caught the campus by sur
prise.
Gathering in front of Johnson
Frazier Talks
To Press Club
Robert Frazier, Eugene Regis
ter-Guard reporter, will be the
featured speaker at the second
meeting of the newly-organized
University press club tonight.
Organization of the club will be
completed at the meeting, sched
uled to begin at 7:30 p.m. in the
Student Union dads’ lounge. This
will include election of officers
and distribution of press cards (at
no charge).
Frazier will speak on the topic,
“You Have to Know Something
about Everything” (to be a news
paper reporter). He has recently
returned from a year at Harvard
on a Nieman fellowship. Frazier
is one of the Register-Guard’s top
reporters; his articles have in
cluded a series on state institu
tions in Oregon and a recent ser
ies on the state’s police systems.
Meetings of the press club, spon
sored by Sigma Delta Chi and
Theta Sigma Phi, men'6 journal
ism fraternity and woipen’s jour
nalism honorary respectively, are
open to all interested students.
Free refreshments will be served.

hall, after a snowball car parade
originating from Phi Kappa Fsi,
Gamma Phi Beta and Sigma Na
houses, about 300 students were
chanting yells at 12:40 p.m. Traf
fic on 13th, between Alder and
University, was halted.
“No classes today,” cheered the
students at the empty administia—
tion offices. One lone janitor
watched from the steps.
Students then jammed into
parked cars for the next stop, th<v
Eugene hotel, where the team ami
Duck club were lunching. About,
half of the cheering crowd, how
ever, trudged off to 1 o’clectt
classes.
The campus settled down to its*
usual staid pace, many of the*
students having missed the cheer
ing altogether.
Cries of "Storm the Bastille,’’
and “No classes today” joltea*»
classes as the cars returned to*
campus, glowing-with the warm*
reception from the townspeople.
Friendly, Commonwealth ar.«B
Condon halls were cleared in a
few minutes with clanging cow
bells, blaring bugles and hoarse'
leaders heading the eager crowd.
Most teachers gave up with a
smile. One of the diehards relent
ed after five minutes of cheering"
outside the door. A few ignored'
the deafening shouts and went civ
lecturing. Some students just
walked out of the classrooms, but
most were content to stay, if the.
lecture continued. The choice wa»
left to the students.
Once outside of the Co-op, th*
crowd of about 1000 seemed puz
zled as to what to do with tbi*
"free time.” Most were still won
dering what it was all about.
Some worried about their two
o’clock classes — one freshman
ran to deliver his theme due at
two, but he wasn’t going to class.
It was a coffee break for th« les.M
exuberant, extra study time lot!
the more industrious.
The campus dogs, Waldo and
Snowbelle, picked this moment to
tear into each other for a rousing
fight exhibiting much less re
straint than the rally participants.
Then the magic word was passe**
along—picnic at Perkins Point.
This settled the decision fpr about
350 students who piled into carl*
and deserted the campus for moio*
yelling and singing on the out
skirts of Eugene.
