 The President of the University of Oregon only allowed this movie to  be filmed on that campus because he decided he did not know how to  read screenplays. In 1967 he had received the screenplay for a movie  but had denied it permission to film there. That movie was  _Graduate, The (1967)_ (qv) and he liked that movie so much that he  decided he didnt want to miss another opportunity, so he allowed  "Animal House" to be filmed on the University of Oregon campus.
