Cooks at the ATO and Sig Ep
houses have been working extra
hard during the past week in at-
tempting to fatten up the men
with huge steaks and vitamin-
loaded vegetables.
The idea behind this all-out ef-
fort to build muscles and increase
strength is the annual ATO-Sig *
Ep tug of war. Thirty of the big-.>;;
gest and brawniest men from each
house will wtake sides across the f
nuron tomorrow afternoon for .:
the battle.

"THE GREAT BIG hairy chest-
ed men" will attempt to snatch
away the title of champion rope
pullers from the Sigma Phi Ep-
silons who have been winners for
the past two years. They can suc-
ceed by dragging the Sig Eps in-
to the Huron in two pulls out of
three.
The whole idea of the tug of
war began two years ago when
a major controversy arose over
Christmas trees. Such questions
as "what happened to the ATO
tree" and whose tree did the
Sig Eps have?" caused quite a
confusion which was further in-
creased when several other
houses on campus became in-
volved.
The ATO's and Sig E's, how-
ever, decided to settle the issue
by having a tug of war every
spring. The loser of the battle
must provide a Christmas tree for
the winning house the next year.
The tree is later donated to the
hospital. *
THE RIVALRY between the two
houses has become so great over
the tug that the men on each
side get together for practice be-
fore the event.

so eager to win the pull that
they studied a book on the
strategy of war games. It must
have proved a worthwhile idea
as, although outweighed that
year, they won easily.'
A picnic for the two houses will
also take place in the afternoon
and evening tomorrow. Softball,
games and refreshments are a
part of the day's activities.

The names of three sopho-
more women tapped by Wyvern
society, were erroneously left
out of the list printed Wednes-
day.
They are: Diana Lahde, Joan
Mintzer and Sally Fish.

APPROXIMATELY 250 people,
including ATO's, Sig Eps and
their dates, are expected to at-
tend the picnic which will begin
at 2 p.m. The rope pull will take
place at 5:30 p.m.
Through it all, the two houses
have remained the best of friends.I
They shared the same booth at
the IFC Ball this year and have
had many parties together.

subjects. The charge for this help
is 75 cents per hour.
The Merit-tutorial office con-

has a merit system to keep a
record of all the coed activities
on campus.

Vacationing Coeds May Find
Varied Opportunities for Jobs

Now that spring is here and
mid-terms are over, many coeds
are begining to think of what
they're going to do with three
months of free time.
This vacation time is a welcome
relief to many study-weary stu-
41, dents, as well as an excellent op-
portunity for exploring, learning
and turning classroom theory in-
to practice.
SUMMER JOBS vary in oppor-
tunity. Some will mean money in
the bank, some will mean room
and board-and fun, most will
give pin money, and many offer
nothing but experience.
Many coeds are headed for
beach and resort jobs this sum-
mer to .combine profit with play.
Off duty, students use the re-
creational facilities open to em-
ployees, which may include
swimming, horse-back riding,
fishing, and hiking. Most open-
ings for the inexperienced are
jobs as waitress, maids, or
kitchen helpers.
Journalism majors might wel-
come a job on a weekly small-
town paper, for the valuable prac-
tical experience.
* * *
SOME COEDS pick the public
library to learn about people and
books. Library jobs include cleri-
cal chores, or painting posters
and working on exhibits for those
with an artistic touch.
Hospitals are still under-
staffed, which means job open-
ings for volunteers, especially
good for students who plan to
make hospital work their ca-
reer. The greatest needs gener-
ally are for ward and clinic aids,
clerical workers, typists, lab and
dietitians' aids, and secretaries.
For the coed with a steady hand,
and good balance, a position of
waitress on the lake and river
lines may be chosen. This job af-
foirds scenic beauty plus pin
money.
VACATIONERS who are handy
with a camera will probably head
for a photographic summer posi-
tion. Most openings will be found
as a photographer's assistant or
dark room technician.
Other openings might be
found as a photographer coun-
selor in summer camps or as
advisory consultant and record-
ing photographer for guests at
a vacation hotel.
For students who plan to travel

and explore, the American Youth
Hostel trips to Europe offer fine
opportunities for job experience.
Students help to repair dam-
aged hotels in France, Germany
and Holland as well as hosteling
in Scandinavia, the British Isles,
the Balkans, or southwestern Eu-
rope. This also provides a chance
to view international living.
