Worthy, a correspondent for the Baltimore Afro-American and sometimes-writer for other pa pers, spoke to about 200 people in the Student Union Ballroom Worthy, who has been all over the world, including places the U.S. State Department didn’t want him to go, like Red China— "UGLY MEN” Bob Uari (left), sponsored by Highland House, and Henry Drummonds, sponsored by Wilcox Hall, watching Wednes day’s WUS-week sponsored "Turtle Derby.” Photo by Shota Ushio Derby' Winner Turtle-napped Ganoe Malls Turtle Derby-win ning turtle, P. F. Sloan, has been turtle-napped. P. F. Sloan, the fastest (?) entry in the Derby was stolen about 5 p.m. yesterday, according to Dan Taylor and Rick Fitch, the turtle’s coach and manager, re spectively. “The rath of Ganoe will be on the University,” Taylor said, un less the turtle is returned. Frog, Ganoe’s original turtle, had died prior to the race and P. F. Sloan was obtained and trained with only five minutes left until race time. Alpha Xi Delta’s turtle, Her mes, was second in the race. The best-dressed turtle belonged to Delta Gamma, and Gamma Phi Beta had the best cheering sec tion. Contestants in the Derby had such grandiose names as Spolioli, Fertile Turtle, Chiquita Bonanza, to name a tew. lncy were fes tooned with racing stripes, se quins, and, in one case, a knife. Winners of the first heat were Ganoe Hall and Alpha Xi Delta. The second went to Pi Beta Phi and Cloran Hall, and the third to Highland House and Dunn Hall. The fourth heat was won by Chi Psi and the Oregon Daily Emerald, with the fifth won by Henderson Hall and Gamma Phi Beta. Wendell H. Stephenson, pro fessor of history, is leading in the contest for red hot professor, with Bernd Crasemann, professor of physics in second place, and Louis A. Bellissimo, bowling instructor, third. Leading so far in the Ugly Man contest is Caswell Hall, rep resented by Rich Jernstedt, Will cox Hall, represented by Henry Drummonds, is in second place, and Alpha Xi Delta’s entry, Jim Barnett, is third. without a passport since 1958— cited numerous examples of un rest in Southeast Asia. ‘'What is the United States no ing to do,” he said, "when there are outbreaks in Negro ghettos in the United States, a reopening ol the conflict in the Dominican Itepublic, reaction to U.S inter ference in the rest of Latin Am erica, problems in the Middle I East, problems in Africa?” He quoted Walter Lippman | (“One of the most realistic con servative columnists in America”) as saying that the U.S. is so “bogged down in the morass of Indochina” that it couldn’t handle any conflict anywhere else. Among the examples of unrest, dissatisfaction with the U.S., and the increasing American commit ment in Southeast Asia, Worthy cited, both from his own experi ences and from a stack of refer ences he carried with him to the lectern, were these: • The Johnson administration has authorized troops in Viet Nam to go into neighboring Cam bodia if it’s necessary' for their self-defense, says Worthy. “Of course,” he added, “the Johnson administration didn’t explain where it got the authorization to make that authorization." The rationale for such action is that Cambodia is harboring Com munist troops, despite its anti Communist government, B u t Worthy cited stories in the New York Times and Washington Post which disputed these claims. • Worthy said the level of guer illa activity in Thailand is about equal to the level of such activ ity in South Viet Nam in 1957. He said this indicates probable American expansion into the “U.S. puppet” country. • There is growing resentment against Western neo-colonialism in Asia and Africa. Worthy de fines neo-colonialism as “clearing (Continued on page 5) Plans Reported For 'Anti-Vigil' An anti-vigil, or “vigil-anti” as its organizer Jim Hill termed it, has been scheduled 10 pretest the vigil, set by ASUO President Steve Goldschmidt, which will be held outside 150 Science during next Wednesday’s faculty meet ing Hill, a freshman in political science, announced his intentions at the Young Republican meet ing Thursday night, calling Gold schmidt’s vigil “unjust.” Then he continued, “Students do not have the right to sit in faculty meet ings nor to protest outside them.” Hill told the Emerald that stu dents have no right to demand representation on faculty com mittees and condemned the pro posed faculty-student council. “I am against this protest be cause it is unjust,” he declared. Hill termed the student demands for representation uncalled for, and promised that his group would fight any efforts to gain such representation.

The doused young women owe their condition to a crowd of male dorm-dwellers who were interested in anything hut studying Thurs day night They were each singled out by the wandering mob of men and soaked thoroughly. It all started when men in Stafford and Sheldon Halls got into a water fight. They tossed water up from the lawns, down from the floors above, and were about running out of inspiration when they heard that a counle of their friends had been watered down by some girls in McClure Hall, just around the corner. That did it. They dashed around the corner to McClure and splashed the first girls they saw They grabbed old cans, bottles, and milk jugs, filling and emptying as fast as their young legs would carry them. All it took was the sight of a young female, and someone would yell 'Water! Water over here!” And they got it. The mob would catch a girl, surround her, and give her a com plete baptismal treatment. They loitered outside McClure, yelling Beaver!" and "Come on out.” The girls snapped their windows shut and turned ofl their lights. The men booed and hissed. And when the McClure lawn quieted down the mob moved into the Carson SU quad, and began selecting from the female traffic in that area. "Boy. does the U of O campus go crazy!” one student grinned. "Aw, we just had to do something, man!” said a member of the mob. his shirt drenched “It's a beautiful night—what the hell?” Upon their arri\al in the Carson quad, the groups decided to be a bit more spectacular in their approach—they began hoisting each apprehended girl above their heads and sloshing them from below. Then they'd let them down—and slosh them again. Half a dozen girls crossing the quad saw the mob, figured some thing was up and scampered for safety—the main entrance to Carson Hall. They made it in just barely ahead of the anxious hoard of men. Though the crowd was eager fo> excitement, nothing sordid or gross occurred One Carson Hall girl later reported that the men were a little rough,” but that one of them had been sporting enough to hold her purse while she was splashed, to prevent damage to the contents. Another said that one guy who picked me up was feeling around my rear But they just dunked me a few times and let me go.” The show then shifted up onto 14th and Onyx. One coed grabbed by the mob fought so savagely that they iet her go. The last (Continued on page 2) TWENTY co-eds were dunked Thursday night as a crowd of 200 men celebrated the end of March and the beginning of spring. Photo by Max Reid
