§ 1. All Students are divided into Crass Foxes (or Fat Foxes), Brand Foxes, and Beer-Burschen.
2. Every student, during the first course of his academical career, is a Fat Fox.
3. He becomes a Brand-Fox when he is burnt at one of the regular kneips of the respective Chores, with the proper solemnities; yet this shall not occur before the Farewell Commers of his first, nor later than four weeks after the entrance Commers of his second, semester.
4. The Brand-Fox becomes a Beer-Bursch, if he be pawked in (initiated), at the end of his second course, but after the Farewell Commers, or at the commencement of his third course; this, however, shall only be done in beer.
5. Comes one here who has already studied two semesters at another known university, he must at the commencement of his third semester be here pawked in, or otherwise, till he be pawked in, he can only, as it regards the Beer-companies, be considered as a Brander.
6. Every one who has studied three semesters at another known university, has on that account the rights of a Beer-bursch.
7. A Fox who is the Chore-bursch of an existing verbindung or union, has the rights of a Beer-bursch, yet must he suffer himself to be pawked in as a Beer-bursch.
8. The following is the mode of pawking in. At one of the appointed kneips of the respective Chore, the in-pawking Beer-bursch drinks to the in-to-be-pawked at least half a choppin of beer, after the singing of every strophe of a song then sung, and the in-to-be-pawked must a tempo drink as much. Moreover, it is well understood that the in-to-be-pawked pays for the beer of the in-pawker which is thus drunk.
