Barrage Meets Hatmen Hatmen-.who attacked the Nit tany-Pollock area also found the frosh reluctant to participate in the parade. As the hatmen tried to arouse the frosh from their ‘dorms they were met with a barrage of eggs, oranges and apples. In many dorms the freshmen barricaded doorways with furniture from the' lounges. , Outside of Nittany dorm 23, a student with an Army bugle ap peared and played Penn State songs in an attempt to arouse the freshmen.' Hatmen yelled at frosh not to let the West Dorms get ahead of them.
