Worthy Says
United States Headed
For Disaster in Asia
By PHIL SKMAS
Associate Kdltor
William Worthy painter! a pic
ture Thursday of a United States
getting deeper and deeper in the
“hopeless morass of Southeast
Asia” to the extent that it won’t
be able to handle the other na
tional ronliicts that will soon be
breaking out all over the world,
a United States whose presence
in Southeast Asia is a “stack of
cards” that will soon crumble.
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—

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

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.

Co-eds Dunked
In All Campus
Water Fight
By LARRY LANGE
News Editor
March went out like a lion for about 200 University men— and
about 20 wet co-eds.
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

TWENTY co-eds were dunked Thursday night as a crowd of 200
men celebrated the end of March and the beginning of spring.
