The Winners... and the Losers The tradition continues Freshmen and Sophomores square off over the pond

The rivalry between the freshman and sophomore classes can trace its history back to the early days of WPI. In the past the rivalry has been com­ posed of many events. Over the years, however, most of these events were phased out leaving us with the paddle rush, rope pull and basketball game. In an attempt to revive the competition between the classes, a more extensive schedule of events has been planned forthe upcoming year. The class that is victorious can then rightfully engrave their class year upon the Goat's Head. Homecoming holds the special significance as the kickoff for the rivalry. Because of this we would like to announce the first event, the rope pull, to be held one half hour after the football game in Institute Park. Freshmen should contact Paul Wojciak at 831-7719 and sophomores should contact their class officers for organizational details. Hope to see you at the pond!

South African President F. W . de Klerk visited Washington, and was the first South African leader in over 40 years to meet with a President of the United States. Bush praised de Klerk for his “ dramatic progress" in moving South Africa away from Apartheid. During his three day trip, de Klerk said that he would support the system of one man, one vote if minority groups were guaranteed their rights. He also met with members of Congress and some businessmen to discuss the US role in leading South Africa from Apartheid. Meanwhile in South Africa, police imposed a dusk to dawn curfew in an attempt to stop the fighting among blacks, although the AN C said its main intention was to create an appearance of calmness while de Klerk was in the US.
