his band at the annual Homecom
ing dance tonight from 9 p.m. to

New Men's Dorm
Prospects Good
“Prospects for a new men’s dor
mitory for the University look ■
good at this time,” Acting Pres.'
Victor P. Morris told the Emerald
early Friday afternoon.
Morris’ statement followed the
morning session of the building
and finance committees of the
state board of higher education1
held in Johnson hall Friday. Plans
and financial statements for a 380
man addition to John Straub hall
were presented to the committees
at 'the meeting.
Final action on the proposal is
expected to take place at 9 a.m.
this morning when the full board
meeting is held, also in Johnson
Civil War Clash
Rated as Toss-ud
The state of Oregon's two Pa
cific Coast conference teams, Ore
gon State college and the Univer
sity of Oregon, will meet this aft
ernoon at 1:30 p.m. on Hayward
field in the last game of the sea
son for each squad.
Needless to say. this is the most
Important game of the season, as
far as both elevens are concerned.
A win for either club would make
the season a successful one, re
gardless of the fact that both will
end the year in the second divi
sion of the conference.
Despite the fact that both
schools predict an overwhelming
triumph for their respective squad,
most unbiased observers are rating
the battle a toss-up.
Sportsmen learned long ago to
forget pregame statistics when the
Benton-Lane county rivals clashed,
end therefore neither grid power is
quoted as more than a one touch
down favorite.
Much can be said for both
squads. The Beavers, after start-1
ing off the season with five score
less defeats, have come back and
have won two of their last three
contests. Last week they tripped
Washington State, 7-0.
National football authority Paul
W illiamson rated the Beavers a
better ball club than the Ducks in
moat, lucent listings. Other observ
ers are also sticking with OSC,
figuring that the Aggies arc al-,
ways higher in spirit for the con-!
test than the Eugene crew.
As far as season's record is con
cerned, Coach Len Casanovas
crew has quite an edge over OSC.
The Webfoots beat Southern Cal
and tied California. Both of these
teams soundly walloped the Aggies
at the first of the season.
The game might be an all-out
aerial duel between George Shaw
of Oregon and the Beavers’ Jim
Withrow; or, if the ball is wet, it
could develop into a ground clash
featuring OSC's Ralph Carr, and
Oregon's Walt Gaffney and Ted
Anderson.
UO Students Involved
In Corvallis Incidents
Further information on the inci
dent involving Oregon students, an
abandoned car at Corvallis and an
attempt to bum an "O" on the
lawn of the Memorial Union at
Oregon State coyege was given to
the Emerald Friday by Ray Hawk,
associate director of student af
fairs.
The incident started Tuesday
evening when two carloads of Uni
versity Students, presumably
freshmen, drove to the OSC cam
pus at Corvallis, Hawk said.
The car belong:ng to Robert
Gast, freshm in liberal arts, was
abandoned at Corvallis due to flat
tires, and the group returned in
the second car that same night,
said Hawk.
Gast and Ronald Lucas, special
student, (not Robert Lucas as pre
viously reported) were seriously
injured Wednesday afternoon
when the car in which they were
riding collided with a car driven
by Richard Klemm, Eugene. They
were reportedly on their way back
to Corvallis to pick up Gast's
abandoned car. The students’ car
was driven by Dennis Holmes,
freshman in liberal arts.
Ronald Lucas, it was learned
from A. L. Ellingson, counselor for
men, is a special student not cur
rently enrolled at the University.
A high school track star from Van
couver, B. C.,'Lucas was unable
to register this term due to credit
deficiencies.
Lucas is taking extension
courses through Eugene high
school and plans to enroll at the
University winter term, Ellmgson
said. Although it is against the
general University policy, Lucas
is living in Merrick hall in spite of
the fact that he is not enrolled
here.
The Canadian athlete was re
leased Friday morning from the
University infirmary, where he
had been undergoing treatment
since Wednesday evennig. Gast's
condition was reported as favor
able by Sacred Heart hospital Fri
day. Holmes was not hospitalized.
Gast’s car, now with four flat
tires and painted orange, later ap
peared on the lawn of the Me
morial Union at OSC. It is cur
rently in the custody of the OSC
Dean of Men Dan Polling, Hawk
stated.
