FRESHMEN At
UNIVERSITY ARE
GIVEN HAIRCUTS
THEIR QUARTERS ARE RAIDED
And Tender Young Buds
MiStPeated

Athens, Ga, Sept 22.-After lying
dormant for three years, the hair-c L.
ting spirit, so famous throughout the
state, broke out again Saturday night
at the state university, and as a re-
suit freshmen of every rank and
standing are today hiding bald heads
under their red caps. The haircut
ting took place suddenly and in so 81
lent a way as not to disturb the sleep
ing inhabitants of Athens.
Led by three or four members OF
their class, the sophomores began a
raid on student resorts in town some
where about O'Clock just after the
freshman spirit had been considerably
dampened by the locking up of the
freshman president, Bill Carey, be-
cause of an attempted raid on an Ath-
ems picture show. The president was
later released, however.
Several freshies were caught alone
about town and each one peacefully
submitted to a tonsorial operation. So
little noise was raised by the cutting,
that the "Sophs" were able to raid
Gambler hall the main hangout OF
freshmen on the campus before any
notice could be served that they were
even on the way. Several prominent
men of the freshman class were caught
there and subjected to a few strokes
of clippers of scissors. The last oper-
alton took place at seven minutes be-
fore - o'clock, giving the unlucky
recipient just seven minutes to make
his way to the nearest barbershop and
have the job completed, so he could g3
to church Sunday.
1t is not known what action the fac
ulty will take on the matter, if they
act at all. 1t was agreed beweer
freshman and sophomore classes some
years ago that no more hair cutting
would take place, but the presen
classe had not yet had time to reach
the same agreement. The action Sat
urday night was really a breach o.
the good-faith pact in which the class
Of 1914 was the first to enter some
three years ago. That class is nov

| is a curious fact that the majority @
the members of the class, applaud the
action of this years "Sophs", as tend
