lice Chief Ted Brown spoke to
the Thursday night meeting of
the Inter-fraternity council urg
ing the cooperation of University
students in the conduct of rallies
and parades.
Sergeant Hill spoke of the "re
cent over-exuberance” of students
at Perkins Point, saying that "the
students as a whole did a good
job,” but pointing out that some
broken bottles and refuse were
left behind.
He closed his remarks with a
reminder to "remember the oth
er fellow” and to "think of the
picture that such incidents will
paint of you as students.”
Chief Brown stated that the
University brings 13 million dol
lars to the city of Eugene each
year, even though it is tax free.
He stressed that the influx of stu
dents with an estimated 1400 cars
poses a definite problem to law
enforcement.
Urging students to confine their
activities to the campus, Brown
said, “We will do all in our power
to cooperate with rallies and par

A native Oregonian, longtime
resident of Eugene, former student

now semi-retired, Folts is well
known to the sportsmen of this
area for his still-retained enthu
siasm for the sport of fishing and
for his great interest in conser

This latter interest led him, in
1949 and 1950, to a position on
the executive board of the Izaak
Walton league, a national organ
ization which promotes fishing,
the preservation of good fishing
streams and lakes and the conser
vation of game fish.
Folts’ lecture will be a review
of his interesting experiences
during the years of his association
with fishermen and fishing. After
the talk, coffee will be served, to
be followed by a discussion period.
