Exhibit “A” …
… now on display on the campus is OSC’s famed beaver, whose fame is equaled only by the Oregon victory bell. Mystery has surrounded the foray to the northern provinces during which the animal was captured, although it is reported that several members of the rally squad were present. After being hidden in various houses around the campus for some time, the infamous animal has been put on display, and even frosh coeds are unafraid of its now lemon yellow and emerald green claws.
Bulletin — OSC Strikes Back at UO For Theft
of Beaver
Striking back in swift retaliation after the capture of the OSC beaver, about seven carloads of state students arrived on the campus about 1 a.m. Thursday to locate their prized victory trophy, but according to latest reports they were unable to discover its hiding place.
A crowd formed near the corner of Thirteenth avenue east and Alder streets, and there was a sharp exchange of words, although little or no fighting occurred.
The Staters then left in their cars presumably for the “O” at the top of Skinner’s butte to change the color of the paint.
The beaver was on display in front of the College Side until yesterday afternoon, when unidentified students moved it to a safer place.

For now we have plenty of Beaver to eat.
