It didn’t burn well. ASUO President Jim Lynch told a crowd of about 200, mostly freshmen, "We have had the "O’’ analyzed and have decided it has been too contaminated by OSC possession; that’s why were burning it." The "O,” held in hiding in Cor vallis, was returned to campus Tuesday night by members and pledges of Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity in agreement with members of the OSC chapter who originally stole it. The decision to burn the letter, still painted yellow but split into several big pieces and many loose boards, was made by Lynch and Yell King Dick Stables late Wed nesday afternoon. Soaked with Gasoline Freshman men. and women, joined by several handfuls of up perclassmen, carried the pieces to the intramural field-parking lot adjoining Hayward Field. Stables and his yell dukes soaked the remains of the letter with gasoline and led the crowd in yells and fight songs as the "O’’ burned. But the burning was slow. Twice the arsonists had to pour on more gasoline. White In Order For Homecoming White shirts will be the "order of the day” for Saturday’s foot ball game with the farmers at Hayward field, according to the Homecoming committee. Students have been requested by the committee to wear white at the game to present a more colorful cheering section. 1*0 UK IN G GASOLINE on the bonfire burning the Oregon “O'* last night I ell Oulu* trank Weigel and UO students cheer i.i the background at the The men’s rally squad deckled to burn the broken letter because it was possession, i Photo by Phil W'ollcott). is Dick Stables, yell king, intra-mural practice field, “contaminated” by OSC
