- Hey, didn't you get the book when you were a freshman? It was entitled,
- "What every freshmen should know." It's about 200 pages full of pranks.
- Ours was issued by the dean of the college. However, there was a ban
- on the books the year following ours because, as it was sent through the
- mail to the freshmen dorms, and not handed out during orientation, there
- was a question of whether or not it violated the Comstock Law.
