Frosh Wage Fierce Battle
During Coliseum Campaign
By Fritz Simpson.
Buck up, frosh! The fight is al
most over.
Approximately 2,200 eager
freshmen armed themselves with
pencils last Thursday and pre
pared to go into battle.
A well trained staff of medi
cal experts was on hand to make
sure that every frosh was physic
ally ready to meet the enemy.
With no 4-Fs in their ranks the
green troops advanced upon the
Coliseum into battle.
English, math, science and
others proved to be worthy foes.
For some, the fight was short. For
others, it was strictly an uphill
campaign. However, with few cas
ualties, the freshmen retreated to
prepare for Friday's encounter.
The same enemies were vaiting
to meet the frosh Friday, and a
terrific struggle again took place
in the already battle scarred Col
iseum. With the approach of eve
ning, activities subsided and the
troops moved back into their rest
camps. The Coliseum campaign
was over.
A new enemy appeared on the
battlefield Monday when registra
tion was thrown into the fray.
The frosh also were ambushed
from time to time by small bands
of red and white uniformed
troops, Corn Cobs and Tassels by
name, who specialized in riddling
Freshmen pocketbooks.
But the fight is almost over,
freshmen. Don't give up now.
Only one light skirmish remains
nine months of just plain ol'
