Poor Frosh Bumped By “Redshirts”
Knights Cause Yearling Students Much Trouble As Paint Appears.
BY RALPH FLYNN
Down to an ignominious position on the front walk of the Administration building, with a brick in hand, a Tro jan Knight over him, and work in sight—that is the position attained by the Frosh yesterday, the first day of classes.
Nearly every campus Freshman had a turn at the sidewalk party yesterday. Shoeless, sockless, but not spiritless, the yearling3 passed some nice new bricks over the big green 31’s that adorned the walks in front of the “Ad’’ building—and like Ceasar, they conquered the uncommon enemy.
Every Freshman had a classy looking “31” and other diagrams adorning his countenance, faces, and other things. Some few- obtained special favors and were allowed to propose ! to fair co-eds, other shouted from places on the fire escapes that they would not. should not, and could not “queen’' or that they were “through \^ith the skirts forever.”
