Today Sophomore supremacy onField Day may end. As the 37th an-nual inter-class competition gets un-der way, the freshman teams takethe field as favorites for the firsttime since 1930.

Kidnaping and water-bagging not-withstanding, the members of theClass of 1941 see it this way:

They will probably lose the crewrace and perhaps the football gamie,but that would only mean sevenpoints for their rivals. By sweepingthe Tug-of-War, relay race, and glovefight, the freshmen hope to clinch avictory.

Experience is the strongest threatto freshman efforts. Tfhe Sophomorefootball team was triumphant lastyear as a freshman unit, and experi-ence alone usually gives the crewevent to the Sophomores. Moreover,although on paper the freshman relayteam looms as the superior outfit, theSoph runners in tile past have provedsteadier under actual competition. Al-though it will not count in the pointstanding, an early-afternoon dingh~race on the Charles will be staged asan innovation in Field Day events.

With perfect weather forecast for

yesterdays' returns in the gym drive,the goal of ninety percent by FieldDay appeared out of reach last night.The seniors lead with 56% pledgedand a total of $18,940 has been sub-scribed.

Frosh, Sophs EngageIn Pre-Field Day Riot

Dormitory freshmen and Sopho-mores, believing that the field dayglove fight, as usually arranged, istoo sissy an affair, last night stageda protest to show what a real fightshould be. Gathering in the mudfilled plot between the dorms, mem-bers of both classes proceeded in anorderly fashion to' roll each otherin the slime and tear their clothingto shreds.

Wrestling followed essentially thesame strict rules as those which gov-ern the ordinary glove fight, exceptfor the fact that pants, not gloves,Wvere removed. In this the Freshmancame off second best, a significantfact in view of the bout which isscheduled for this afternoon.

Following the riot, which startedwhen Sophomores smashed their waythrough a Freshman barricade on topof the old dorms, all present gath-ered in a friendly huddle and sangthe Stein Song. Then everyone peace-fully departed to brownbag.

being raised. Eighty percent of the studentbody contributed an average of over fifty-twodollars apiece. In our present drive, contri-butions of one-sixth that total have been re-ceived from barely over half the student body.

It is not too much to expect a ninety-per-cent subscription in this campaign. Theamounts being pledged are much smaller thanthe pledges of seventeen years ago, thereforeit is justifiable to expect a higher percentageof contributions.

No one is expected to contribute more thanhe can afford. But some condition, whateverits size, is expected from everyone. We havepointed out before that united support of thestudent body is absolutely necessary if thealumni drive is to go over as it should. Nowis the time to come through with your sup-port.

TOO MANY RESTRICTIONSKILL CLASS SPIRIT

iLD is the word for pre-Field Day activi-tyties this year, as any casual observer

can plainly see.On the su rface it would app ear that Tech-

nology "ain't what she used to be," at leastas far as class spirit is concerned. Enthusiasmat class rallies this year rarely reached a highpitch, declamations lacked fervor, pre-FieldDay stunts lacked originality and purpose.

It appea rs that the T echnology man hasgrown tired of evading the restrictions on his"'prankishness" which have accumulatedthrough the years, restrictions which wouldprevent him from "kidnapping", from throw-ing eggs, from shaving heads, from stackingrooms, from staging off-campus demonstra-tions. Soon even the traditional water-bag4twil1 be outlawed. Under the weight of thesenumerous curbs on fais behavior. the Techman ha s souph t new outlets for his spirits.The results have been rath er dism al. Lastyear, the Sophomores tried wholesale shoeraids. But there was not much fun in thescheme and results on the whole were unsatis-factory. This year's "uproject" was even more

l amentable. F or kidnapping the Sophomoressubstituted catnapping with some vague planin mind of releasing the felines in the mainlobby, with baying hounds at the heels of theunfortunate animals. But even this mild planwas nipped in the bud, since the ringleadersof the cathunt soon met with stiff outside op-position. And yet Juniors and Seniors caneasily remember years when class rivalry elic-ited real enthusiasm from the Field Day con-testants.

What can be done about the situation ? Inanswering this question we are faced with agrave problem. If all restricting influencesare abolished., many undesirable practices willbe resumed. On the other hand, if these re-strictions m ultiply, one cane safely predict thateventually all class spirit will slowly peter out,leaving Field Day an obscure reminder of anage -,one by.

This is our dilemma. Technology men ap-parently do not have enough of the Rah-Rah

Do It Now

Every fall it has been the policy of the Daily to runan Editorial concerning the participating of Freshmenin Student Activities. This year we have refrainedfrom making such comment until this time as we feltthat the Freshman Programme had been organized toa high degree of efficiency and would therefore keepthe average newcomer fairly busy.

But the Freshman Programme has practically runits course, lectures are well under way and we hopethat by now you are well accustomed to your new sur-roundings. Thus we feel that it is time to stick in anoar and give a piece of advice to the Freshman enter-ing upon the sea of college life.

You come to college to study. Do it well and do itoften. But don't do it to the exclusion of everythingelse. At college you will have a chance to meet manypeople and to make many acquaintances and a fewfriends. But you will not be able to do so by spendingall your time in the library. Friends are made outon the playing field and in extra curricular activities.Hence it is important to get into something.

Our advice to the Freshman is to look over theopportunities carefully and to pick two things whichinterest him. One should be a sport and the othershould be some activity on the campus. Go out foryour sport and try to make the team, but rememberthat the most important thing is not to make theteam, but to get the exercise, learn to play the gameand to meet people. Having done this pick out astudent activity for yourself. There are many ofthese--they are all described in the handbook and youhave heard about them at the Freshman Smoker.There is variety enough for the most fastidious.Choose your activity, and then get into it and stickwith it. The first year may not find you presidentof the club or society you have joined-but the endof our fourth year will probably see you on the execu-tive of anything you have really put your heart into.

The old adage about getting just as much as yougive holds true in college as it does anything else.If you would get the most out of college put yourbest into it. But in so doing, remember that thereare three phases to college life-study, sport andstudent activity. Put your best into each-do not letthem interfere with one another and you will be ableto look back upon your four years at McGill as havingbeen profitably spent from every conceivable angle.

It was felt that Shirley Tem-ple who was offered instead by War-ner Bros. would fail to make the nec-essary psychological effect and so theidea was abandoned. Any efforts ofthe Sophomores to grease the fresh-man end- of the rope are doomed tofailure as the whereabouts of therope is a deep secret. The freshmen,wits sharpened by the writing ofcountless English themes on barbedwire, abandoned the plan of placingsharp barbs on the rope for the up-perclassmen to grasp when a fresh-man piped up, "You can't do that-it might hurt them!"

Mud Pit Looms For LosersA traditional feature of the event

is of course the pit located betweenthe teams filled with a supersatur-ated solution of that common sub-stancc MUD. Members of bothteams faced with the realization thatthe losers are faced with a compul-sory beauty treatment will be givenfurther incentive to develop their bi-ceps and pull for all they're worth.
