Hcamen Haul Frosh
To Rally En Masse
Raid On Dorms
Brings Out Men
In Jovial Spirit
Hatmen hauled more than half
the freshman men from their
dornis early last night and march
ed them en masse to the pep rally
partially in retribution for the
Wednesday night revolt.
Squads of batmen and other
upperclassmen estimated at
about gOO in all burst into the
West dorms . shortly after. 8:30
o'clock and hurried through the
halls, calling frosh from their
rooms. Frosh were told with Loud
shouts to turn out and attend the
pep rally.
Most freshmen went along with
the movement in a jovial spirit
and without • much resistance.
They greatly outnumbered the
hatmen and upperclassmen, whose
raid did not seem well organized.
Not All From Revolt
President Robert Fast of Hat
Society council told Collegian yes
terday the move was "only par
tially motivated by the freshman
`revolt' Wednesday, night. The
real punishment for that is the
directive prohibiting the fresh
men attending Saturday ' night's
dance at Rec Hall," he said.
But. Tribunal Chairman Neil
See seemed tä spike this conten
tion by his statement at the pep
rally later in which he said frosh
would be allowed to attend the
AIM dance.
See told Collegian that the ac
tion of hatmen could not have
.been covered in the customs code
and that the code did not give
hatmen the power to order frosh
from their rooms for the rally.
The customs code says that any
hazing practices not listed in it
should be considered "undesirable
hazing" and that freshmen . are
urged to report such actions to
Tribunal.
