Intra-Mural Battles On
Our Queen
Left to Right: Misses Jonnie Hoggs, Hattie Parks, Mattiwlda Dobbs.
Miss Maroon and White, Spelman’s elected representative at all the
festivities of our past homecoming, reigned supreme. Shewas queen for
the student body, for the various clubs on the campus, and for the Alpha,
Kappa, and Omega Fraternities. Our queen was really a queen, not
merely a representative of some organization.
Homecoming Highlights
MAROON and WHITE RECEPTION
Miss Maroon and White and her
attendants were introduced to those
who did not know them. Short
speeches put everyone in the right
frame of mind and refreshments
sent all home happy.
PARADE
At 1:30 Saturday afternoon, the
band, cheerleaders, students, and a
procession of decorated cars startec
from the corner of Fair and Chestnut
and paraded to Harper’s Field. The
band sounded fine, the cars lookec
great, but how did that bus get into
the picture?
GAME
The mighty Maroon Tigers battlec
the Famcee Rattlers. Well, — they
just battled. Miss Maroon and White
was crowned by Reverend Maynarc
Jackson, President of Morehouse
Alumni Association.
DANCE
After the game, everyone went to
the swell dance planned by Mr. Wil-
litm Clark and the social committee.

Fund
A “Chalet” for rundown and tu
bercular students from liberated
France has recently been opened at
Combloux in the Haute Savoie re
gion of France, according to reports
received by the World Student Serv
ice Fund, student relief agency with
offices at 8 West 40th Street, New
York 18, N. Y. Already 50 students,
mostly from Paris, are spending
from one to three months in the
quiet, invigorating mountain atmos
phere.
During the German occupation,
university life in France was ren
dered nearly impossible. Curricu
lum and professors were strictly
regulated. The Vichy government
called up a large proportion of the
student population for deportation
to Germany. Many escaped and
joined the French Forces of the In

Church Women Ask
Senate to Pass Federal
Anti-Poll Tax Bill
Representatives of ten million
church women have adopted a
strongly worded resolution condemn
ing the poll tax, urging passage of
the federal anti-poll tax bill, and
calling on the Senate to adopt clo
ture to break any filibuster against
the bill.
The resolution was adopted by
the National Board of the United
Council of Church Women, meeting
in Washington October 22, 23, 24,
25. Board members are the elected
representatives of ten million Prot
estant church women.
The anti-poll tax statement was
recommended by the Committee on
Social, Industrial and Race Rela
tions, which in its report to the

The curtain has fallen on the 1945
S.I.A.C. football season and the
Maroon Tigers have hung up their
togs until next season. Nevertheless,
Director Marshall Arnold’s intra
mural plans have come into the spot
light. The football competition got
under way with the Freshman-
Sopohomore battle last Thursday.
The Juniors will match their brawn
and brain with those of the Seniors
this Saturday. The winners of these
two games will meet on the gridiron
December 8th to determine which
of the two merits the 1945 intra
mural championship.
Intra-mural track events will share
in the schedule as well basketball,
volleyball, ping pong, and checkers.
Organizations have already begun
practicing for the basketball play
offs.
In its realm, intra-mural activities
are as interesting and thrilling as
varsity games. It may be said that
competition reaches its keenest point
in these intra-mural competitions; at
any rate, it is a cleaner type of
competition that appeals to everyone,
even the Minister’s Union.
