College Band In Annual Spring Concert Dormitory Dedicated Erected at a cost of approximately $400,000, modern Holmes Hall, housing 92 women students and eight staff and faculty personnel, was dedicated February 22, and named in honor of President Merrill J. Holmes of Illinois Wesleyan University at Bloomington. It was through Doctor Holmes that the Pfeiffers became interested in the college, and the initial gift of $15,000 on the erection of the dormitory came from Mrs. Pfeiffer’s estate. Inasmuch as the family did not desire that their name be carried on the building, the trustees voted to name it in honor of Doctor Holmes—the close per- sonel friend of the college’s largest individual benefactor. Furniture and furnishings for the building were provided by the Women’s Society of Christian Service, the Methodist Church, while Mrs. James P. Brawley and Dean of Women Phoebe Burney were responsible for its decoration. The student rooms are furnished with maple colored furni­ ture, while the suites which are occupied by faculty personnel contain period furniture. The building contains a reading room, kitchenette, and residence laundry.

Sports scribes have labeled the 1950 Panthers as the most improved and unpredictable team in the SI AC. Regardless of their season’s rec­ ord they will participate in the annual SIAC basketball tourna­ ment held in Logal Hall at Tuske­ gee Institute in March. During the conference held there in 1949 it was agreed that all teams in the conference would go to the tourna­ ment. This means that the 1950 tournament will have a field of six­ teen teams. The committee also stated that the visitation champions would be evaluated by the Dicker- son Rating System. The Morehouse-Clark game has been considered one of the lousiest games played by the two city quin­ tets. In the first place alumni of the school should not be allowed to officiate any contest played be­ tween the city teams. We all know that the Morehouse-Clark game was poorly cajled. To clarify my statement Clark played the ball off the spectators twice while the of­ ficials looked on. Another incident CLARK BASKETEERS—here the team poses for the photographers.
