Freshmen To Be Barred

Freshman to be Barred 

From Two Prominent Saloons in the City 

By Upper Classmen

No more will the staid and sedate upper-classmen be compelled to touch shoulders with a callow freshman when he hies him to a thirst parlor to pay his tribute to Gambrinus.

For years it has been a thorn in the side of the student who has been in college long enough to find out that "campus tickets" are not necessary to his well-being, that it was impossible to resort to a refreshment booth without running the risk of finding therein a gang of "freshies" who, unaware that they were persona non grata, insisted upon meeting their superiors upon terms of equality. Many and long have been the conferences upon this weighty matter and various the schemes concocted for the purpose of doing away with this bug-a-boo, but nothing so far has succeeded in teaching the verdant ones their proper place in the social circles of the "drinkeries". This year, however, the upper class fellows have devised a plan that upon the face of it seems to promise success. They have selected two places which shall be sacred to themselves and from which all freshman will be barred. They have notified the proprietors of these places that all '07 branded students must be kept out, upon penalty of losing the trade of the "uppers", and to further aid in carrying out the scheme have decreed that freshies shall all wear a distinguishing cap.

Whether the freshmen will obey this mandate is not known, but it is said that the proprietors of the two places mentioned have decided that, commencing with Monday, freshmen will be barred from their places.
