Hazing Party At College Ends With Wrestling And Cold Bath

Sophomore students entertained freshmen at Kincaid Field and by the mill race last night. Freshmen resisted, some were subjected to tasks, Kilpatrick and Richardson from La Grande wrestled until both were ordered into the race. The event featured a 440 yard run, and the evening closed with class camaraderie despite hazing concerns. Authorities plan a vigorous investigation to stamp out hazing as faculty and upperclassmen voice strong opposition.
