8oiwt l Some things never change. Cow Day, celebrating the mid-point of Spring term has been an Oregon State tradition for years. The day was filled with good ol' wholesome fun and games. Milk-chugging, eggtossing and hog-calling contests entertained participants as much as on-lookers. Reigning over the events and awarding trophies was Miss Oregon Dairy Princess for 1980. Everything, including a cow, was fair game on the MU quad. Roosters, ducks and turkeys were exhibited by the Poultry Science Department. A goat grazed on the MU grass ... the small por- tion that wasn't occupied by students enjoying the sun. The illustrious 426 (better known as the kissing cow) met the lips of the contestant with the most sponsors. Bids for potential cow kissers were taken by members of the Withycombe chapter of the National Block and Bridle club, who donated the Holstein for the event. Mechanical bull-riding and roping competitions gave seasoned cowboys a chance to show off their non-scholastic talents. Cow day took a good-natured look at OSU's roots as Cow College. — B.

Registration issue brings draft rallies Signs denouncing registration and the draft, statements that the United States is being drawn into fighting an oil war and chilling testimonies of the reality of war from Vietnam veterans were presented by students who gathered in several rallies against registration for the draft. We were in Vietnam to fight for the multinationals and their fat bank accounts, said Tom Motko, veteran's referral co-director, who is strongly opposed to any form of draft registration. In the '60s, people got really involved, but the '70s were marked by apathy,” said student body president Jeff Mengis. Maybe now in the '80s people are ready to start caring again. — D.
