PAGE 2 THE BATTALION Thursday, September 24, 1959 CADET SLOUCH Fisli Antics Again Create Amusement by Jim Earle ' •; tS| As is always the case this time of year, the newness of the cam pus and campus life has caused some very amusing incidents con cerning the freshmen. This year’s freshman class, like their predecessors, has been noted wandering around the dorms .and the campus with a dazed, panic-stricken expression on its face. One 2nd Brigade freshman was in a near frenzy Wednesday night when he coudn’t figure out why he had to make out a pass for weekend leave to go to church Sunday. • • • In the same brigade, there was the freshman who casually saun tered up to a senior and calmly asked, “Got a match?” • • • Then there was the freshman who was walking across the cam pus without a cap on.
