FRESHME BEWARE! Again the beanies for this year's freshmen initiation arrived late! The late arrival postponed initiation activ- ities for a few weeks and allowed upperclassmen the chance to get to know the freshmen better. By the time initiation arrived, each upper- classman knew exactly which fresh- men ,Qhe wanted to pick on. During initiation, it was almost impossible to look out on campus in any direction and not see a red- and-white beanie dotting the land- scape. Although freshmen often congregated in groups for mutual protection, they seldom managed to escape the eye of vengeful upper- classmen. Theftwo big annual events, Mid- night.Olympics and Kangaroo Court, were again held so that freshmen could preform numerous antics for onlooking upperclassmen. The most unusual and embarrassing stunts, however, were probably those per- formed in the cafeteria where upper- classmen usually were able to trap a few unsuspecting victims. For sophomores, juniors, and seniors, initiation week is a time to look back. lt's a time for each upper- classman to recall the stunts he had to perform and to pride himself in the fact that he's making some poor freshman do the same thing. For. each freshman, initiation iila i s a time of trying to sneak past an upperclassman un- noticed, steering clear of the cafeteria by stocking up at a grocery store or by hiding in a back corner of Debo's, and counting theiiirnjnutes until initia- tion officially ends. 15
