New blockade feared BERLIN (UPI) — Russia told West German chancellor Konrad Adenauer officially Thursday of its plans for ending the Big Four rule of Berlin. The Russian disclosure touch ed off fears of a new Berlin blockade, and set. off a new pan ic in West German business cir cles.

Flag hauled down RICHMOND, Virginia (UPD— The Governor of Virginia said Thursday he had ordered the American flag hauled down from the state capitol and the flag of Virginia run up in its place. Gov.

(Continued on page 8) MALICE AT CORVALLIS Pucks seeking victory It was "football first, studies second" for Oregon’s varsity this week. Normally, the coaching staff insists that the players put scholastics ahead of sport, but the traditional battle with Ore gon State has changed the at mosphere. It's no secret that the Ducks are going all out for a victory. The odds are always "even-up” for an OSC-Oregon football game — and there's no evidence to indicate otherwise in consid ering this Saturday’s classic at Corvallis. On paper, the Beavers have the ledge. They've won five PCC games and dropped two and are tied with WSC (also 5-2) for second. Cal boasts a 5-1 record and the league leadership. If Cal and WSC lose this week end (they play traditional rivals Stanford and Washington, re spectively) the Beavers would be in a position to win the con ference title (and a possible Rose Bow! bid). But first they've got to get past the Ducks. Len Casanova's Oregon team is fifth in the league. The Web foots have won three (Idaho, USC and Stanford) and dropped four (WSC, Cal, Washington and UCLA). Three of th$ four loss es were by one touchdown. But Oregon has shown well statistically — if nob on the scoreboard — and despite in juries to certain key performers (halfback Charlie Tourville is out of all action and neither end Ron Stover nor guard Joe Schaf Finance Dept, trims Board budget request SALEM <»—'The state Board of Higher Education's record $60, 679,000 budget request was cut by 6.6 million dollars Thursday. The cut was made by the state Department of Finance and Ad ministration, which indicated it might cut it even more before it is submitted to the Legislature. The request is for the two years beginning next July 1. It is 30 per cent greater than the appropria tion for the current biennium. Gov. Robert D, Holmes told the board: "I am operating on a clean mandate from the voters of Ore gon for economy and no new taxes.” The governor added that it would be impossible to provide new buildings for the university, colleges and institutions without getting the people to approve a bond issue for this purpose. The proposed 6.6-million dollar cut would' eliminate many pro posed salary increases, as well as requests for more faculty mem bers to meet increased enroll ments. A spokesman for the board said: "We don’t think this is in any way an extravagant budget. It is based on the assumption that steady increases in enrollment will continue, that prices of sup plies and equipment will increase, and that faculty salaries must be kept on a competitive basis.’’ fela are expected to start)—even ardent Beaver supporters will not say they've got it in the bag. Students were reminded that tickets would be on sale here un til noon today and at Parker sta dium Saturday. Dukes nix Ags; offer new bet Oregon's yell dukes are be lievers in charity. At least their reaction to the proposal of OSC's rally men suggests this. (The Bea \er wager: yell dukes of win ning team after Saturday’s UO-OSC clash will administer “haircuts” to the losers.) Though we’re tempted to take our OSC cohorts up on their little wager,” commented a Duck cheerleader Thursday, “we feel we must take their unprotected welfare into con sideration—one should make allowances for agrarian insti tutes- Obviously, they don’t realize how awful their duck tails would look, shaved to the skull.” To please the wagering whims of the Beaver rallyists, however, tiie HO leaders have offered a substitute bet. The rally squad from the losing school will travel by eanoe up/down the Willamette River to the victorious school, where they will perform at a Friday variety show.” “Since they insist on pur suing this reckless, sportive vein in the face bf overwhelm ing odds,” said the DO cheer leader, we feel this challenge will take less advantage of the brash Beavers.”
