Around 3,000 University of Oregon and U.C. Davis students on 130 houseboats invaded Slaughterhouse Island on Lake Shasta over Memorial Day weekend. They left plenty of evidence they had been there, unlike the 1,600 Oregon State students who visited on Mother’s Day weekend. Those students had been praised by the Forest Service and the Sheriff’s Office because 40 of them stayed an extra day to clean up. That was not the case this past weekend with the University of Oregon and Davis Students, who brazenly left their garbage scattered on land and in the water, and motored away.
