Hazlng At University May Be Revived.
Hazing will probably be re-establlsh-
ed at the University of Pennsylvania
next year. Such action is being con.
templated by the Undergraduate Com
mittee as result of the freshness"
of this years Freshman class, the
members Of which have refused to
abide by the set of rules governing
Freshman conduct. The "Pennsyl-
yanian," the student daily, is advocat-
ing the change and practically all the
upper classmen are back of the move
ment. In days gone by 1t was Gus
tomary to give obstreperous firstyear
men a bath in the frog pond near Ham
ilton walk. With the elimination OF
hazing several years ago, this method
of chastisement was dropped. Instead
there was substituted a set of rules
prohibiting Freshmen from smoking
cigarettes, wearing moustaches, enter.
ing College Hall by the front door and
compelling them TO wear skull caps
At the recent Sophomore cremation
ceremonies, on which occasion each
first year man is supposed to throw
his black cap into the flames that are
consuming the efiigies of the profes-
sors, the Freshmen disregarded
tradition OF more than twenty-five
years by putting their caps into their
pockets, meanwhile yelling defantly
at the upper classmen. II was this
that brought the agitation in favor Of
the re-establlshment of hazing to a
head. The members OF the faculty
are, as q rule, opposed to hazlng, but
the students say they will be won
over. Complaint is made that the
Freshmen do not know the college
songs and yells and that they do not
try to learn them.
