Professors school students at hoops
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 phrase “student council”.
Summary
- This Johns Hopkins News-Letter article covers a professor-versus-student basketball game held to raise money for the Measles Initiative.
- The paper reported that the JHU Red Cross, Sigma Alpha Mu and the Student Council organized the Shots 4 Shots Tournament, with students paying $1 to attend.
- The article says junior Shruti Mathur created the tournament as a fundraiser and said that “anyone can spare a dollar.”
- The reporter writes that organizers recruited 12 student teams before asking professors who were “willing and able” to play.
- The paper reported that the students won 71–69 after tying the game at 66 and drawing nine late fouls.
- The article adds that the event raised over $1,200, and Mathur said the Red Cross hoped to hold a rematch in the fall.
