To gain entry into the Final Toast event on College Green on Hey Day, seniors signed a pledge to not throw items at the parading Class of 2010 – and yet a number chose to welcome the juniors not by raising a toast, but by pelting one of the free beers provided at the event.

Despite the 2009 Class Boards’ efforts to curb junior hazing by seniors on Hey Day, the Class of 2010 – and Locust Walk – was smothered in the usual array on condiments after the procession.

While the level of hazing was slightly less than years prior, students still lined Locust Walk with an arsenal of ketchup, flour and barbeque and chocolate sauce and eggs during the procession.

Even off campus, students donning the visible Hey Day T-shirt faced hazing as early as 1 p.m. along 40th Street and Baltimore Avenue. At one point, several police had to intervene near 40th and Pine as students were spraying passersby with ketchup and mustard.

Whether students were purposely targeted by friends, or simply caught in the cross-fire, the junior class that assembled on College Green was covered in flour and smelled like barbeque sauce.
