U of Oregon Guide Makes Tour Group Take Off Beaver Gear
Filed in archive News by Greg Cruey on May 20, 2008
According to the Oregon paper, the incident took place last Friday. The paper interviewed eighth-grader Alex Owens, who went on a tour of U. of O. with his class from Jefferson
Middle School. Owens describes himself as "hard-core Beaver fan." He says that a tour guide at the home of the Oregon Ducks told the group that "no one displaying the logo of any other Pac-10 school would be admitted to the Ducks' athletic facilities." Owens says half a dozen students in the class reluctantly removed their Beaver gear.
I'm most disappointed in the teachers that went with the middle school students. Three teachers didn't see a problem with the request, though one thought it was "curious." Wonder what the kids will learn from that...
