HOPtoberfest festivities ring in fall season
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga”, “student government” and “student council”.
