DON'T MAKE ANY NOISE YOU MIGHT’wAKE UP THE JANITOR!!! yn")pP£5SionS [?rorr) ^ gresbmcn IVhere I come from, not too many of the kids get as far as college; in fact, there arei^'t a .g?;eat many of them that get through high school. But we dp get the newspapets back home, a, few days ]ate maybe, and sometimes you read about some college'kids'doing something unusual... *like' studying. No, I'm Just kidding; everybody knows that college kids study.most of the time;' ' I remember the first article I read about college kids. That was about t^e time,that telephone booth stuffing was the fad. A whole bunch of kids h^d tried to answer the phone’all at once, and when the final count was in, thirteen guys were in the phone.., They were a-little racked off when they found out the caller had the wrong number. /After that came the bunk stuffing fad. You remember—that’s when they ti^ried to see how many people could get in the bottom bunk of a double-dec- ' And then a group of Prat .men cried rolling a bed, with a female passenger, across one of the western states. - IVhen I sent in my application to this place last year, the admissions PQople sent me one of the college publications, namely the JVIAROON AND GOLD. In it, some guy wrote something about some Elon freshman who stayed in the■ shower for a great number.of hours. He must have been a pretty dirty bird. Most of the old college fads are wearing off now, but the one that has withstood the test of time is the faithful PANTY RAID. That is, until this year. ■ I' ve been talking to a bunch of upperclassmen, some of,which have been here since the early fifties, and they have some great stories of panty raids of the past years. ■ But. what gets me is that for the first time in a great number of years (or so I've been told, anyway), the freshman boys have not even attempted t£) stage a panty raid on the girls' dorms. This is just about unbelievable and, I might add, very disappointing to the girls. ; S Just why haven't the boys staged. a_gopd raid? Are they satisfied with just such great pastimes as. seeing how mnn^ boys can get a shave off one ^^^I°have^a^feeling that there are a number of freshmen boys that have a panty raid all drawn up on paper, but are just chicken to try it out. Yes, I guess that's it--they aint got any guts, or maybe they don'.t want to get ki^ed out of school. Editor's Note: It may be well to-note that in the past, penalties for par ticipation in "panty raids" has Included social probation in varying degrees and suspension from school in some cases.
