College Hazing Carryover From Primitive Rites Washington (Science Service) - When college stu dents haze the incoming fresh men by shaving their heads or spray-painting them, or when members of a fraternal organization make the ini tiate walk down Main st. in girl's clothing, they are re enacting rites performed by primitive peoples for hun dreds of years. Puberty rites, Initiating the young boy or girl into man hood or womanhood, are very widespread among primitive people, and some groups have secret societies with initia tion ceremonies as bizarre as any hazing customs that col lege boys of today can think up. Many of the primitive Ini tiation rues inciuae symDonc aeatn tor me inmate so uiai they can be "reborn" into adult life, a symbolism com mon to many Christian sects. And occasionally the symbol ic death is so realistic, among primitive tribes, that' the ini tiate does not survive. Violenc Against .Victims Among the native tribes of Africa, similar violence is sometimes directed, not against initiates, but against victims who have provoked the ire of members of a se cret fraternity. The. Leopard Men in Africa, like the Ku Klux Klan in the United States, strike in the dark against their victims. The Leopard Men wear leopard-skin cloaks and make false leopard Imprints in the earth to leave the impression that real leopards have seiz ed the victims.. With claw like knives they mutilate and lacerate the flesh of their vie- Uius. In some areas of Africa, the Leopard and other secret fra ternities have been reduced to more sociable activities, it' is reported, but It was as re cently aa ' April, 1945, that the police were making ar rests in an attempt to break tip the deadly activity of the Lion Men and Lion Women In Tanganyika, Kenya. fe 50tk 5 3 M cnnnweviamM save 51c per yard FAMOUS BATES FABRICS "New fall cotton prints.
