'Human Duck' Mascot
To Appear at Game
By Valerie Hersh
Emerald Ass't Managing Editor
Oregon has a mascot. It is
none other than Puddles VI. the
first real, live giant-sized mas
cot the Oregon campus has ever
had.
Puddles, it is reported, will
make his first appearance Satur
day night at the Oregon-Wash
ington football game. The orig
inal of this human-shaped duck
and his identity is unknown, but
it is rumored from good sources
that Puddles VI is being imper
sonated by a member of one of
Oregon’s fraternities.
Predecessors
Puddles’ predecessors, I through
V, whose history on the Oregon
campus dates back to the 1920’s,
have always had the misfortune
of being members of the secret,
sect of the anas playrhynchos
(male ducks inclusive).
Also Puddles’ ancestors have
had the habit of disappearing for
long periods of time and turning
up beaten and haggard with
traces of black and orange blood
on their feathers. The misfor
tune of dying a thankless death
at the hands of some heartless
student from the farm up north,
has always been a tradition. It
i? hoped the new Puddles will be
able to withstand the pressure
of being official Oregon mascot
a little better than his prede
cessors.
Who Is He?
If Puddles can make it to Port
land without complications the
student body and audience at
Multnomah Stadium will get the
chance to see him. But knowing
who he is will be a question in
the minds of all, that only Pud
dles himself can answer.

Parking Regulations
Stated by Wright
All but about 40 of the approxi
mately 800 parking places pro
vided by the University in off
street parking lots are open to
student parking, according to I.
I. Wright, superintendent of ,the
physical plant.
But cars parked in the re
stricted places will be ticketed or
towed away at the expense of the
owner, he said.
Those places in which students
are not permitted to park are
restricted for a good reason,
Wright declared.
Parking lots are open to stu
dents on a “first come, first
served basis” at 14th and Kin
caid, north of 11th and Kincaid,
the Emerald Hall lot, the music
building, near the Vets dorm, 15th
and Agate and behind Gerlinger
annex.
Parking Restricted
Parking is restricted in the lot
near Johnson hall except from 5
p.m. to 8 a.m. because the spaces
must be kept open for cars be
longing to administrative per
sonnel who must have their cars
easily available, he said.
Two spaces at the southwest
coi ner of the Emerald hall lot are
saved for doctors from the Stu
dent Health service who must
have their cars close by for emer
gency use, Wright said.
The lot behind Friendly hall is
closed to parking during the day
light hours when it is used as a
service drive and entrance but
cars may be paiked in the lot
from 5 p.m. to 8 a.m.
Not Blocked
Even during these hours, how
ever, the driveway must not be
blocked by parked cars, Wright
said. The same holds true for
other driveways on campus, the
superintendent of the physical
plant pointed out.
The driveways must be kept
clear, he declared, to provide an
access way for emergency ve
hicles if they should be needed.
Another restricted lot is be
tween Deady and Vi Hard halls,
the two oldest buildings on the
campus.
Wright said this lot must be
kept open because of the fire
hazard presented by the two old
buildings. The lot is kept open
for use by fire equipment.
Fire Equipment
Only other restrietd parking
zone on campus is behind Em
erald hall where state-owned cars
are parked.
Wright pointed out that re
stricted parking places are mark
ed by yellow-painted curbs or
signs.
Parking along streets which
run through the campus is regu
lated by the city he said, and the
University does not have charge
of these places.
