Lawyers Challenge Engineers To Big Pull
The insults have begun to fly between Green and Marvin halls as the date of the annual lawyer-engineer tug-of-war nears. It is held each year in connection with Law Day, which will be Thursday.
Following is the text of the lawyers' letter: Dear Engineers
Because of the inconclusive results of the Lawyer-Engineer Tug O' War the past several years, we of the School of Law want one more chance to drag a stated number of your boys to defeat.
The cause of the inconclusive results mentioned in the above paragraph has been the habitual use of unsportsmanlike tactics on the part of the engineers.
We would like to think we could rely on the honor system that works so well in our professional school but you have proven in the past that you aren't up to such standards of character.
Since the administrative problem involved in checking on the engineers' team when it is stationed on the distant shore of Potter Lake has made such checking useless we would like to move the contest to the intramural field where we can keep a better eye on you.
Consider this letter a formal challenge by the lawyers for a Tug O' War at high noon, Thursday, May 2, 1957 at the intramural fields.
P. S. We think that as a booby prize the loser should have to keep Dean's Folly (hyperbolic paraboloid) at their end of the campus.
