1. The Graduate Interdorm Field Day on 7/19 from 2-5pm will be held on 
the Barry Astroturf Field. Jack Barry Field is a 100,000-square foot 
Astroturf field created in 1999 for intercollegiate lacrosse and field 
hockey, but in 2008 will become the battle grounds for graduate 
interdorm competition...
... and sportsmanship.

The Barry Astroturf Field is west of the Kreske Pits. For more details, 
view the map here: http://whereis.mit.edu/map-jpg?selection=G11&Greens=go

DETAILS: Field day games such as hula hoops, kickball, relay races, tug 
of war, and more! Inflatables including sumo wrestling, obstacle 
courses, and jousting! Represent your dorm at the Graduate Interdorm 
Field Day! Snacks and refreshments will be provided.

Bring a blanket and hangout on the commons enjoying FREE Shakespeare. 
This year "As You Like It" will be performed. The performance starts at 
8:00pm, but we will be meeting at 7:00 to get decent seats and to enjoy 
FREE Greek food. Please RSVP to jtc at mit.edu by 12 noon, Tuesday July 22, 
if you plan to attend so we can get enough food. Last year the food went 
fast, so make sure to get there on time!
