I t must have been a super-moron t h a t originated initiation for freshmen. Going to college Is a big •event in a person's life, and taking t h i s step is terrifying enough In itself without being subject to tort u r e s for a period of time after you get there. The idea of customs evidently is to try to see just how gruesome the feminie freshmen can he made to look. It is a very rare case when a student resembles, even remotely, a human being, after she is garbed in her lovely cu.stoms outfit. The very day that customs s t a r t , all of the upperclassmen suddenly become helpless, and are u n able to do all of the Uttle daily •chores that they ha-ve done satisfactorily all t h e rest of t h e year.

By LOIS O'NEILL It seems t h a t every time there Is any heav yfurniture to be moved around in the dormitory, a P h y s . Ed. major is called upon. Evidently things went too far tor one of them because she made the statement that "Phys. Ed. majors were human too." One ot our professors was very pleased with the new nurses t h a t just moved into the dormitory. He said that "It w a s good to look a t some a t t r a c t i v e females for a change." It's easy to see t h a t he has a lot of freshman girls for classes every day. A red-headed sailor was at Lock Haven last week-end visiting a freshman. She was lucky enough to be able to discard her costume a t t i r e for t h e occasion. He must have had a very vivid description given to him because he deliberately stayed another day "just to see how she would look In customs." We hope t h a t he wasn't too disappointed. All ot the girls were remarking about the good sportsmanship of the Dean. At the Dramatic Club party she w a s ' - o n e of the most active participants in bobbing for apples. This was not to be quoted, but when the freshmen were told to write a two-hundred and fifty word composition on "customs", one of the freshmen said t h a t if she wrote just what she thought, she would probably have to wear fifty pigtails for the rest of the year a s a penalty. «nce.
