Can Spelman Exist Without Morehouse? by Malikha Yasantewa Mallett Staff Writer

Well, can we? Can we, as Spelman women, survive our matriculation through this historically Black women's college without Morehouse? This question is not meant to slight the Morehouse man or to question whether we need a strong Black man by our side. The question asks whether we, as Spelman women, can exist here, at our own institution, and strive towards making it the best that it can be. Or, must we traipse around the AUC, running after every Morehouse function and activity to make our experience complete. In other words, are we enrolled at Spelman yet, attend Morehouse? Let me bring all of this into context using the example of homecoming. The week following Morehouse's homecoming was filled with scores of Spelman students providing their commentaries on each of the events. Whether it was the two fashion shows, the gospel and hip-hop concerts, the comedy showcase, or coronation, everyone had a story to tell. Yet, no one could tell the story of Spelman's homecoming. In fact, many people had not even realized that homecoming had come and gone. In this lay a serious question of why Spelman students found it so hard to support their own sisters but, did not hesitate to do so for their brothers. While some use the excuse that they did not know about Spelman's homecoming, some of the same people knew the specifics of Morehouse's even before detailed information was circulated. This leads one to believe that if someone really wants to know something, that person will find a way to obtain that information. Most Spelman students will contend that Spelman's homecoming is not as live as Morehouse's but, I ask these students if they are willing to take the time to make their own homecoming something to which they can look forward. Spelman students pay enough money in tuition and fees that they should have some say in the activities that take place on their campus. If expectations are not being met, then its time to make a change, not run away. It appears that whenever Spelman students are disstisfied with something here they race to Morehouse's equivalent. Homecoming is no exception. Spelmanites attend and cheer for their games, play in their bands, attend their chapel services, as well as fill their homecoming court and audience but, do not show the same enthusiasm for Spelman functions. On top of all of this, Spelman women expect preferential treatment. It was amazing to see how many Spelman students were upset that they could not get in free to Morehouse's homecoming football game as if it was Spelman's homecoming. We are not even their sister school, that title goes to Bennett College (HELLO! Perhaps, this is a sign). There is nothing wrong with seeking entertainment from different sources or supporting others in their endeavors but, when the other becomes more important than the self we need to step back and reevaluate the situation. We are willing to pay money (which we all know does not come easily), stand in long lines, get practically trampled and/or suffocated just to get into a fashion show but, we can not use that same energy to offer suggestions to make our homecoming better or to improve publicity by hanging a few signs. What does this say about the Spelman population? or about our dependance on Morehouse? Homecoming Week at Morehouse has always been something that is highly anticipated and well attended, as well as at Clark Atlanta and at Morris Brown. Why then is Spelman the tagalong? It's too late to change what has passed but, let this at least, be the of thought that will blossom into action, not apathy. Spelman Spotlight »November 18, 1996

Spelman Students' Link to the Future

by Nakia Clements Co-editor

Terri Evans is ready to face the challenge of incorporating student participation in the plan­ ning process of Spelman's fu­ ture. As a member of President Johnnetta B.

"Right now I can only give my own perspective of what should occur, " she explains. "However, I have confidence that I can represent the student body.
