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.
