story parr said houses which tell the brown and white that the problem is none of the paper's busi ness because the national forbids it are wrong this problem concerns not only the brown and white not only the dean's office but the en tire university the problem of hazing is a per ennial one parr noted it rises and falls in the long view it is de clining as are most infantile prac tices of the past progress however is not untinterrupted by and large the grosser abuses of yesterday are no longer maintained five lehigh students met accidentally in allentown late saturday night — unfortunately they were driving five autos and the cars met too the collision started when car 1 non-lehigh skidded on an icy spot on s 15th st and spun completely around car 2 driven by herb getzler 60 was unable to stop in time and plunged into a convenient snowbank basketball star tom healy 58 following in auto 3 also unable to stop plowed into anohter nearby snowbank by this time the driver of 1 had managed to turn around and start on his way leaving all the glory for the lehigh men along came andy homer 60 4 in a volkswagon all conveni ent snowbanks being taken he plowed into getzler's car not wanting to be left out of the fun jack jacobi 59 came along in auto 5 and joined the melee rounding out the quartet gary price 60 plowed his 6 merc into the excitement anybody hurt of course not lehigh men lead charmed lives however two cars did have to be towed away nick is a tyrant frosh counselor hanged in effigy an effigy hung last week on a telephone pole in front of drinker house swaying back and forth in the wind it was identified with a large sign which read nick lap ." nick lap " is nick lapara a freshman counselor in section c-l of dravo house he says he has been entrusted with a position of responsibility by the university and that he intends to do his job right nick is a tyrant claimed one of the boys who participated in the midnight hanging we got tired of him flaunting his authority so we went out late last night and strung the newspaper dummy on the telephone pole this is no joke we mean it accusations and denounciations poured out from the freshmen but every incrimination lapara later denied or claimed to be greatly ex agerated these are a few of the charges and countercharges which provoked the incident lapara waits outside the dorm so he can catch us yelling out the windows ... i never engaged in such practices nick isn't happy to give out house demerits in his own section he also roams the dorms to see whom he can catch in other areas . . . on weekends when i have weekend duty i am required to do it at other times i do give out de merits if i see something wrong counseling is a full-time job i can't close my eyes when i see some thing done wrong he pries at our personal life see lapara page 5 because he knew the charge was serious he's hurt everyone he ever had a chance to everybody's laying for him he is disliked by everybody in dravo . . . grossly exagerated i do not look for trouble but i know my duty if it should come along and so the invectives continue to be hurled the anti-lapara fac tion although it claims to repre sent most of the freshman class is actually only a small minority minority dissention is both preve lant and healthy but when several hundred college freshmen live in a small area it can promote only an unhealthy atmosphere the public display of the effigy and subse he's often nosey . . . counseling involves some discussion of person al affairs it's the only way to help people with troubles i have never forced anybody to tell me they come to me voluntarily although the university dis continued valentine probation la para initiated his own probation for those doing poorly at mid semester . . . sure i confined several of them to their rooms but it was for their own good the de cision was never strictly enforced nick has a group of informants who squeal on us whenever some thing goes wrong . . . absolutely untrue i know of no such people only once i have forced someone to tell me who was responsible for something and then he told only . . . this is no joke lehigh knots pittsburgh 14-14
