Expenses finally Californicate Oregon By JOCKROT FATFIELD Of the Immorald In what can only be termed a monumental action, Gov. Bob, Strobe has given the University of Oregon to California. “We just can’t handle it finan cially,” Strobe explained in a press conference Thursday night. “We have already taken out our third mortgage on the thing, costs are going up, and students pull vfv\ one of their protests every time we try to raise tuition. California can have it.” Strobe said he got the idea for the donation from a proposal authored by University Pres. Nul len Void. In a copy of the proposal, just released to the press, Void points out the number of students paying out of state tuition would increase if the University became part of California. “Instead of having 80 per cent of our stu dents in-state and 20 per cent out, it will be reversed. We ll be rich!" said Void. So far, student reaction has been less than enthusiastic. “It's an unprecedently dumb deci sion,” said Student Pres. Oliver Jan upon hearing the news. “It’s too ridiculous to be true. At least they could have given us to some one respectable, like Washington or Nebraska!” In the letter Void argues that California has a highly advanced civilization. “They have computer registration, grade point averages and all that kind of stuff," he says. California Gov. Brown was elated to hear the news. “I've al ways considered University of Oregon students Californians at heart,” he told an Associated Press representative. “We can use their water too, but don’t print that." Some questions of legality of Strobe s action have been raised in the Legislature. “Can he do that?” it reacted in chorus. Brown thinks there will be no problem transferring the school to California domination. "If West Germany can do it with Berlin, we can do it with UO," he said. “We've been trying to expand California’s boundaries for some time, but until now we've been running into a little opposition Asked of his plans for the Uni versity, Brown replied, "Well, first of all we ll have to sift out and exile those reactionary rednecks that grow up there. Then we ll have to explain to the natives what a com puter is, and show them what studying is all about, maybe with the help of some missionaries " Brown says he is toying with two names for the University, Univer sity of California at Oregon, and the University of Berlin. Brown says he hopes to make Oregon keep the University Sci ence Building, and says he might offer it to the redneck exiles as a • homeland. “But I don't want any of that ‘UO lives’ crap,” he added. Brown told University students not to worry about the change in ownership. "View it as an end to the Dark Ages," he said. California will take possession of the University at the end of the month. Customs stations will be established by Mac Court, Gilbert Hall and on the lawn in from of California Hall. Interviewed about the transfer on a man-on-the-street basis, students expressed a mixture of apprehension and disbelief. “So where do I send my tax return again?” asked one freshman. “I'm worried about getting my sack lunch through customs, said another. Other students were more op timistic about the University's fu ture. "Listen," said one. "Nothing could be worse than the total anarchy we have now " Asked why he suddenly de cided to give away the University after two years of doing nothing in office, Strobe replied "I wanted to do something monumental, some thing that would show my leader ship abilities, and get me into the AP. Getting nd of UO filled the bill." According to Brown, Oregon State University was also offered to California, but as Brown exp lained, “We didn't want it.
