Tug-of-War

The Tug-of-War challenge is fast approaching and the tension is mounting. The fourth years think they have things wrapped up and are lashing out with comments like "First years are creampuffs". The first year AT all-girls team has been practicing four days a week and should be tough to beat. The faculty team is an easy favorite and has used their contacts with the CFL to do some extra recruiting. The second and third years have gone underground with their training, and ESHP students have already found ways to beat the drug tests. All said, it should be quite a shin-dig. Due to time and energy constraints we are limiting the event to 6 teams. If you haven't signed up your team yet please do so on the EIRC bulletin board. If you just want to spectate, come on by:
Date: Tuesday, March 31
Time: 2:30 warm-ups, 3:00pm start
Cost: Free to those willing to cheer, $50 to all others

Reserve your seats now, but you will only need the edge.
