There's more to college life than having a good football team. You need a good campus, too.

As the Ducks and Beavers count down to the Nov. 24 Civil War, we're looking for some help to determine which has the best campus. Send us your photos, tell us your favorites.

Travel reporter Terry Richard will be visiting the

this week and

next week, Wednesday through Friday each time.

But he needs some help. Because he went to college in

, of all places, he barely knows which campus has

and which has the

.

He's looking for tips about what to see and do on both campuses for a general visitor not connected to either university. Each must have museums, art galleries, trophy cases and historic buildings.

Send him your tips by posting a comment on one of his reports at

, or by email at

You can also tweet him your tips and photos -- and see what others are suggesting -- using #Ocivilwar on

.

We also encourage alums to go to

to submit photos from their college days. Students, faculty and staff can take photos of themselves in their favorite places on or near campus and send them in. There is also an opportunity to name your favorite bar, burger joint, pizza parlor, breakfast nook, campus art and place to get away.

These submission forms are coming next on this blog post.

Then join the discussion online as Richard files reports on OregonLive. Stories about the campuses also will appear in The Sunday Oregonian on Nov. 11 and 18.

Look at this as an attempt to stir the juices for a Civil War that already has the makings of a classic.
