AFTER HISTORIC OFFENSIVE GAME, MASOLI DESERVES RESPECT
In his first year at the Division I level, without a scholarship, Jeremiah Masoli went into Reser Stadium and beat the Beavers, something that has not happened in 12 years (it’s also something Dixon, Clemens and Harrington never did). Masoli did this by leading the Ducks to their best offensive performance ever, while urinating all over the Beavers’ Rose Bowl dreams. He is the quarterback of the Oregon Ducks and anyone ever caught booing him (or any other player wearing a Ducks jersey) at Autzen Stadium should be ejected immediately.

DISORDERLY BEHAVIOR EMBARRASSES UNIVERSITY
As a full time non-traditional student, I grow weary of opening the newspaper on Monday mornings only to read about another group of students from the University who have decided in their infinite wisdom to go out, get drunk and cause trouble for the city and embarrassment for their college.
Growing up in Eugene was a wonderful experience; we have a calm and compassionate, liberal take on issues and people here. It has always been a college town, an institution for higher learning, not booze-cruise central. If you want to party at college, feel free – just don’t do it at the expense of taxpayers or to the point of embarrassing your school and fellow students, who get lumped into the same category as you: the drunken fool.
I sincerely hope these students – who are getting drunk and being disorderly to the point where multiple squad cars full of police officers feel the need to serve search warrants in order to quell a large, drunken end-of-term bash that ends with multiple arrests – get brought up on student conduct charges that end with a result of not being allowed to attend school here. We do not need nor want this kind of negative attention being brought to our wonderful school campus, a place of learning, not debauchery.
