PENN "FREsnIEs" in ARMS
Resent lndienltles Hesped Upon
Them by sophomores

Enforcement of the "Treshmcn' "a
Thirteen Commandments" which are1
the traditional regulations governing
the dress and spirit of first year men
at the University of Pennsylvania, is
being resented by campus leaders, be-
cause of its near approach to haziDg,
which is prohibited
Freshmen who did not wear the
''inkspot' caps. blue ties, dark colorcd
socks. etc, were placed on overturned
rubbish cans, the articles of clothing
not regulation removed. auctioned
of for virtually nothing and the money
returned to the first year men. Also,
the fresh were made to sing. speak,
hang posters etc, under the direction
Of members Of the sophomore class.
The yearlug class of 1923, itself. Mt
its first unofficial meeting, adopted
resolutions rcsenting the so called on
forccment of traditions.
The resolutions will mean. in all
probability, that the next attempt OF
sophomores at regulation enforce
mcnt' which has been termed hazing,
will be met with decided physical op-
position by the mighty freshman class,
which numbers more than $500 men.
The last spectacular auctioning OF
gaudily colored ties worn by freshmen
was followed by cleanup on the
part of first year men, who organized
at the dormitories and rushed the soph
omores conducting the exhibition.
None has followed the sophomore de-
feat and retreat of that day.
