TYPICAL CO-ED
MISS EVA BLUFORD
Miss Eva Bluford, junior, Philadelphia, Pa., was recently
voted the typical co-ed of the institution in an enthusiastic contest
conducted by the entire student body of nearly a thousand.
The effort to select Miss Co-ed was sponsored by the YWCA
as a part of its contribution towards securing funds with which
to construct a "Y" hut on the campus of the college in the memory
of its students, who as members of the armed forces are giving
their all in the defense of God, justice and humanity.
"Miss Co-Ed" Campaign
Successful Event
The campaign for the selection of "Miss Co-Ed" was sponsored by the Y. W. C. A. on January 27. The funds raised by
selling votes went directly into
the 'Y Hut Fund.' Some of the
young ladies were supported by
an organization while others
were not.
The following were contestants:
Phyllis Holland of Birmingham, Ala, sponsored by the
"Bama" Collegians and the
Omega Psi Phi Fraternity;
Eva Bluford of Philadelphia,
Pa., sponsored by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority;
Jeanette Bass of Spartanburg,
S. C, sponsored by the Choir;
Nettie McGimpsey of Morgan-
town, N. C, sponsored by the
Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority;
Carolyn Holt of Greensboro,
Her Tenth
Triumphant
Concert Tour
Only Performance In
PI||P*< State During 1945 Tour
Marion Anderson, America's
great lady of song, sets forth this
year on her tenth concert tour
of the United States under the
triumphant banner of ace impresario S. Hurok, who brought
her home in 1935 to conquer her
native land from a Europe which
was already at her feet. The
famous contralto will arrive in
Greensboro, N. C, for a gala performance of this gala season on
March 29, 1945 at Agricultural
and Technical College.
The inspiring progress of Philadelphia's "our Marian," the
little girl who washed doorsteps
to earn money for her first musical instrument, whose first music
lessons were paid for in the
nickels and dimes of her adoring
church congregation, w h os e
glorious voice has since thrilled
more than 3,000,000 hearers,
among them the King and
Queen of England and the President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and
earned her the greatest of musical tributes from the greatest
musicians of her time, has become one of the most moving
success stories in America.
The past year has brought
new laurels to Miss Anderson's
serene brow. In June, Smith
College conferred on her an honorary Doctorate of Music to add
to those she already holds from
Temple and Howard Univer-
versities. Earlier in the concert
year, the winner of the $10,000
Bok Award and the Spingarn
Medal was presented by the Republic of Liberia with its highest honor, the Order of African
Redemption. A mural painting, dedicated to her, adorns a
wall in the Department of Interior Building in Washington,
commemorating her historic
Easter Sunday concert at the Lincoln Memorial in 1939 when

Frosh Challenge
Sophs To Debate
Dear Sophomores:
Upon arriving here last quarter we, the freshmen, learned
that it has been an annual tradition here at A. and T. for the
Freshmen versus Sophomores to
stage a debate.
We have been looking forward
to a notice from you relative to
the date for the debate. Having
received no such notice has made
us begin to wonder. Are you
afraid? Can there be any doubt
in your minds as to whom would
win? Come now, we aren't Big
Bad Wolves, Meek Lambs is the
more appropriate word. What
have you to lose, the odds are
against us, not you.
The u n k e e n competition
which we offer will be no obstacle. Are you kidding? Don't
trust that statement—come prepared.    We challenge you.
Yours 'til we win over you,
THE FRESHMEN
