lotment of $422.00, the bulk of which
would go to pay expenses of stu
dents to various conferences. The
budget was finally pared to $287.00
by eliminating one of the proposed
conferences entirely. Ernest Wright,
vice-president of the Morehouse Stu
dent Body, played a prominent part
in adjusting this “hot spot.” Arguing
hotly on the opposite side was Louie
Robinson, alternate from the junior
class, who questioned the utility of
“conferences” to the general student
body.
The “hot spot” of the three and
one-half hour meeting was the Glee
Club allotment. Herman Williams
presented the budget which included
such items as “repair of instruments”
and “music.” William Bennett ex
claimed that it was unfair for the
Morehouse Student Body to pay all
the expenses of items such as “re
pair of instruments” and general
“music” when two other schools
would be using the instruments and
music jointly.
William Bennett’s view prevailed
and in the tentative appropriation
given the glee club these two items
were excluded pending further study.
The editor-in-chief of the Maroon Ti
ger objected to the general student

to the end of the game, a play by
play description of the game will be
broadcast over station WEAS, Deca
tur, Ga. The place of the game has
been tentatively $et at Herndon Stad
ium on Morris Brown College cam
pus, but details had not been work
ed out before press time.
Interest is already mounting with
the fraternities and clubs concerning
the planning of floats for the game.
Each organization has taken out its
drawing boards and designing tools
and has set its designers to work try
ing to create floats more beautiful
than ever before. One reason for
this mounting enthusiasm is that be
ginning this year, a plague will be
offered to the organization producing
the most beautiful float. Names of
persons serving as judges will not
be disclosed but they will be a group
of disinterested persons whose back
grounds qualify them for their posi
tions as judges.
Shortly after lunch a procession
of floats, marching Housemen, the
band, and cheering squad will origi
nate on the campus. This merry pro
cession will follow prominent streets
on the west side and will wind up
at the stadium. The band will fur
nish music during the game and
special activities are being planned
for the half-time intermission. Com
plete plans for these activities were
not available at press time and will
appear in the next issue of this
paper.
body paying for letters and insignia
for the Glee Club. After a sharp ex
change of words which made a roll
call necessary, the Glee Club was giv
en a tentative budget of $130.00 for
“insignia and letters.”
The only budget approved as sub
mitted was the Ministers Union. Cur
tis Jackson asked for and received
the amount of $235.00. Emmanuel
Eaves’ NAACP budget was original
ly $300.00, but under the cutting eyes
of the committee it diminished to
$235.00.
Under the bursar’s original esti
mate that $4,200.00 would be avail
able for student use, the $4,086.00
allotted to the seven dependent or-
g miz-'tions leaves a balance of
$114.00 in the general fund. It was
under these conditions that President
Cary spoke gravely about the finan
cial future of the Student Body. Al
though at the end of the meeting he
showed signs of extreme fatigue and
depression, he expressed a hope that
other ways would be found to reim
burse the coffers of the general stu
dent fund.

Boptet, New Swing
Group, Starts Here
The latest addition for music lov
ers on the campus is an 8-piece
swing group called the “Boptets.”
Consisting of three saxes, a piano,
drums, a trombone and two trumpets,
the Boptets promise to promote more
“live” music at House dances.
Under the leadership of William
“Billy” Sterling, the Junior Band
master of the school’s Band, and with

Integrated Southern Area YMCA,
YWCA Conference Held At Berea
• By Lorenzo Gunn, YMCA Delegate
The annual regional conference of the Southern Division,
national student YWCA and Southern area student YMCA con
vened at Berea college, Berea, Kentucky this summer. This con
ference was a historical moment in the history of the Southern
region because the YMCA and YWCA conference policy was
brought into agreement when the YMCA regional council voted in
December, 1947 to sponsor only integrated conferences.
A significant part of the program
included platform addresses. The
Reverend Charles M. Jones of the
Presbyterian church, Chapel Hill,
North Carolina, directed the confer
ence’s thinking in his series of ad
dresses on the conference theme,
“The Christian Students’ Task in the
World Today.”
“Our World Today” was the theme
of the addresses rendered by Mr.
Wilmer Kitcher, executive secretary
of the World Student Service Fund.
He described the complex world sit
uation from his first-hand experience
of conditions in many countries. Dr.
John Eubanks, Morris Brown col
lege, Atlanta, Georgia, discussed
“Our Country Today" from the
standpoint of education, economics,
justice and government.
Special events were held each eve
ning to demonstrate new program
techniques. The World Student Chris
tian Federation banquet was held
Tuesday, June 8. The theme of the
banquet was a “world plane cruise
touring foreign countries in which
the WSCF is active.
Dean Julia Allen of Berea stated
that the student should get a gen
uine religious experience and devel
op a more adequate philosophy of
life. Dr. John Eubanks added that
the smaller colleges need to utilize
more fully research in the fields of
religion and psychology which should

enable them to develop well round
ed personalities.
The instructive and educational as
pects of the conference were con
ducted during the workshop periods.
Each workshop was responsible for
submitting a report to the delegates
summarizing the findings of the re
spective workshops.
\
Leadership, elections, readings, bi-
ble study, marriage and the home,
public affairs, music, recreation, fi
nance, publicity and public relations
were some of the topics that were
studied in the workshops.
The public affairs workshop rec
ommended that the conference go on
record in favor of federal aid to edu
cation and that the delegates com
municate their feelings to the proper
authorities.
The climax of the conference came
on Sunday evening when the find
ings committee presented a drama
tization of the meaning of the con
ference experience. The following
quotation was presented: “We be
lieve that obedience to the law of
love is the standard for all human
relationships . . . emotional sinceri
ty, sensitivity to the needs, rights
and potentialities of the other per
son, responsibility for his or her well
being, and fundamental respect for
the personality of everyone are the
basis of all Christian relationships.”
