Bailey Thight and friend were seen indulging in liquid re freshments at the Bar- Drive-In. What was the movie about, Bailey? Back In The Good Old Days The gentle harassing and hazing of the past weeks has caused many of you to ponder upon the origin of Freshmen Customs. Actually, this is a lie because nobody is really the least bit concerned. However, we are obligated to write about such trivia . . . with a new and inter esting outlook, yet! The first freshmen hazing took place in the ancient Greek educa tional institution: Behrendos Centropolis. As penance for his crimes, an obviously inhibited youth named Oedipus Rex was cruelly taunted and forced into a rather unique form of marriage. Another notable initiation concerned a freshman at Carthage Uni versity (who, by the way, rose to great heights in later year) affec tionately called Hannibal by family and friends. It is interesting to note that Hannibal’s punishment for failing to wear, his Frosh-gear carries its own parallel to Behrend Campus. For Hannibal, whose major was Animal Husbandry, was gamely coaxed by all Sophomores to let himself by bitten, or gouged, as you prefer, by his pet elephant: Iddunznthertomuchibus. Because of poor communication and severely limited ideas, ex change programs with the rest of the world lagged noticeably in in corporating this craze into college minds and hearts. Ivan the Terrible is given full credit for introducing it in Russia, and finally we .caught on, too. His hazing of Freshmen was so effective that there was no Sophomore class the next year. Joan of Arc is credited for popularizing the earlier version of pro viding a light for all Sophs in need or upon request. Thus ingenuity, we have seen, was the backbone of our early, formulative civilization. Those here at Behrend, while they cannot be elevated to the levels of achievement pioneered by Ivan and Joan, should crtainly be able to invent a more mutually interesting and vital program geared to suit the individual needs of .the Campus Populi. * * CHENNE Thus endeth the dirt.
