NO. 38
Senate Vetoes
Code, Drinking
The A8UO senate voted Thurs
day night to abandon the honor
rode plans and to go on record as
opposing drinking at football
games.
The derision to kill the honor
<o<j« committee ended a three
year drive to create student in
terest in such a rode at the Uni
versity. Gordon Hire, chairman of
the committee, suggested dis
banding because the group found
little or no student interest in the
honor system after a long study.
Student Interest where it did
exist, Hire reported, was nega
tive. The committee found other
schools of comparable size had
not been able to use the honor
code successfully.
The committee agreed that an
honor code was fine in theory but
concluded that the attitude at
Oregon la not conducive to auch
a code.
Student behavior at football
gamea runic up as a result of a
number of incidents of rowdyism
at the San .lose State game.
During this game a beer bottle
was thrown at members of the
band and more than 2(Ki beer and
liquor bottles were found under
the stands after the game.
The senate left the way open
for further action in the future. It
was suggested that the athletic
department supervise the student
section at games and enforce con
duct standards.
Oatc checks for liquor and spot
ters to observe objectionable con
duct were also suggested as
stronger measures which could be
taken if necessary.
The athletic card committee re- ]
ported that students would not
get a single combination student
body and athletic card as they had
requested.
Sam Vahey. chairman of the
committee, suggested that the
senate drop the matter. Leo Har
ris, director of athletics, has
Studied the possibility of a single

card, Vahcy said, and found it im
practical.
Harris feared that students
might lose the cards or sell them
to townspeople, Vahey said. If this
happened the University would
lose paying customers to athletic
events.
Sally Stadelman, chairman of
the rail* board, presented a sug
gestion for segregated seating at
the Homecoming game.
Despite the objections of some ‘
senators, including many of the
women on the senate, it was de
cided to seat men, women, pig
gers and married students in that
order south from the 50 yard line.
