HAZING AT WAKE FOREST Hazing in our colleges is not so frequent or severe as it was a few years ago. Now it is confined larg ly to guying the fresh Freshmen and occasiona'ly one’s hair is cut. We urd "stand that three boys were sus pe f d from Wake Forest lately sor 1 cutung hair. It is an old saying that young men ' will sow their wild oats and the boys 1 will have their fun. Often a Fresh man feels he must live up to his name j and “get fresh” by calling upon some young woman, or painting his class numerals high where all who run may J read. The sophomores likewise feel they must live up to their name as wise foels, and so they play the Ku Klux and disguised by mask or night, they proceed to mutilate their under class-man for his breach of sopho more etiquitte. Joshing, guying, whistling or trot- ! ting a “newish” is a harmless sort of hazing, but when one’s person is 1 mutil: ted in such away as to shame or make ridiculous in the eyes of i others, we believe it should not be done. Most of our colleges are now' run by Student Government. The stu dents themselves formulate a set of rules or regulations for the student body, and the Freshman has special i consideration in these. When one or: more takes it in hand to independent ly administer justice, immediately the principle of mob law supercedes the higher law of student government and the perpetrators become themselves law breakers without personal provo cation. It is only just and even nec essary, that such should be summarily punished according to the outlined regulations as adopted by the student body for it’s government. We sympathize with the young men J I who were suspended from Wake For est, but think they will see, after due i reflection, that their punishment is not only proper, but was necessary for the future welfare of the whole student body and the college general ly. Wherever there is a higher law j either of God or man, in State or \ college, r.o man has the right to be- j come a “law unto himself” until the higher law has broken completely down and failed wholly to function for the common good. Then would otherwise be a rebellion of traitors, because a revolution of patriots. The lack of a due respect for pa rental discipline in the home, regula tions in our institutions of learning, laws in our State, is showing its effects in the crime wave that has been sweeping our country for some time. Let us obey the law every where. CHILDREN’S WEEK We understand that this week is Children’s Week. By special request pastor Davis will preach a special sermon at the Baptist church Sun day morning to the parents on the Relation of the Child to the Home, the church and the school.
