Beta, SGA team up to host Blue Jay Tailgate
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” and “student government”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article reports on a tailgate organized by the SGA and Beta Theta Pi before a football game.
- The News-Letter reported that the SGA teamed up with Beta to hold the Big Blue Jay Tailgate on the Freshman Quad, offering students free food before the Randolph-Macon game.
- The paper reported that funding was approved only the week before after some SGA members opposed supporting Beta, while planning had begun months earlier.
- The article adds that SGA Executive Secretary Adelaide Morphett said planning began the previous semester and continued over the summer.
- The reporter writes that Beta sophomore Winston Jin said organizers had enough food for about 500 people but began running out.
- The News-Letter reported that organizers said the event was meant to build school spirit and encourage students to attend football games, and that Hopkins later defeated Randolph-Macon 42-3.
