Second Try Due For Tug-Of-War
The engineers and the lawyers will have their annual tug-of-war at 5 p.m. Tuesday, at Potter Lake. The contest was originally scheduled for March 15, but was cancelled because of bad weather.
Last year the tug-of-war ended in a tie, as the rope broke twice and only Sarge, the Stima Nu dog got wet. This year the engineers have obtained 400 feet of cable which should prevent a draw.
"We have a lot of big boys," said Bill Franklin, Topeka junior and president of the Engineering Council, as he predicted victory for the engineers.
Also included during the week for the engineers is the Hob Nail Hop, a dance for students in the School of Engineering and Architecture sponsored by the Engineering council, Saturday from 9-12. The Collegiates, a campus band, will play.
A queen for the Hob Nail Hop will be chosen Tuesday by the lawyers from the steps of Green Hall, and will be crowned at intermission of the dance.

"Last semester approximately 2,000 students were down in about 4,000 subjects," Registrar James K. Hitt said.
The deadline for faculty members to mail down slips for this semester is 5 p.m. today. The grade reports will be prepared on the IBM machine Tuesday through Thursday, and they will be taken to the deans' offices Friday.

"We serve as a clinical agent, calling on the instructors for the reports, processing them andinding them to the deans to handle.
In the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences every student is expected to see his adviser every semester, whether or not he has received a down slip.
In the School of Engineering and Architecture a list of students receiving down reports is posted in Marvin Hall, and reports are sent to student's advisers for counseling. Freshman down grades are sent with a letter to the student and his parents.
