It's going to take a lot of
"pull."
No it is not student politics
that the above refers to, but to
the traditional sophomore-freshman
tug-of-war.
The traditional event will be
held at 1:45 p. m. Saturday, just
before the Homecoming game.
Freshman and sophomore candi
dates who wish to enter this
"brains vs. brawn'' contest,
should sign up in the Union
sometime before Saturday noon.
The tug-of-war is held to de
cide whether the freshman will
wear their red beanies until the
first snow flies or whether Sat
urday afternoon's tussel will
mark the end of "class discrimin
ation." Tradition has it that if snow
does not fly before the Home
coming game, then the sopho
mores and the freshman stage a
tug-of-war. If the sophomores
win, then the frosh go on wear
ing those hateful, but required
headpieces. But if the frosh man
age to eke out a victory, the
frosh can store their beanies in
the closest trunk.
Oh well, freshman, the snow
will be falling by Christmas
nysvay.
V
the float contest will also be made
at the dance.

dancing and alumni. Sanders, "the
