Chapel Attendance Is
Compulsory — Red wine
Beginning with the fall quarter, chapel attendance has been made
compulsory for all students.
The purpose of the move is to insure reasonable attendance and
worthwhile programs. Dr. Parks Redwine, chairman of the chapel
committee, stated that It has, at times in the past, been embarrassing to
engage notable speakers to address

, A sigh of relief. That's all that
it was. Just one of those great
big sighs of relief.
It was well earned, because few
people on Howard's campus did
“so much with so little" as did
Helen Harrell with the Crimson.

A wonderful job of administration?

Ditto.
She isn't grey-headed. Just re¬
lieved. We all think she stood the
gaff wonderfully well. She prob¬
ably wouldn't take the job again
for money, love, or even quality
points: but then again she might,
because she's like that. She would¬
n't shirk a job, but I think that
fewer than 100 students.
Howard was one of four out of
the twenty-eight Baptist colleges in
the south which did not make
chapel attendance compulsory.
Plans are being made to bring
outstanding authorities on national
and international affairs as speak¬
ers for this year's chapel programs.
To further insure uniformity,
definite seats and days of attend¬
ance were assigned each student at
registration. Seats will be checked
at each program and a penalty to
be announced by the administra¬
tion will be imposed for absences
on the assigned date. About sev¬
enty-five seats have been reserved
for those who desire to attend pro¬
grams other than the ones assigned.
’47 Entre Nous Is
Still At Printers
The 1947 Entre Nous has not yet
received a tentative release date,
according to a letter reecived at
the Crimson office from Seymour
Wilkes, Editor.
"The Entre Nous has been in
printing since last quarter,” Wilkes
wrote. “Everyone has cooperated
splendidly by being patient so far
and I think they should be in¬
formed as to the progress of the
book."
