to be on hand for the annual i
Homecoming football game be
tween North Carolina A&T and
Morgan State College Saturday,
Oct. 31 at 2 p.m. in the Greens
boro Memorial Stadium.
An ambitious program of
backslapping, fun and frolic has
been outlined for the Univers
ity's students, alumni and friends
by the Homecoming Committee.
The activities will get under
way Wednesday, Oct. 28 with
the coronation of Miss Pearl

"Miss A&T State University of
1970-71."
The colorful coronation cere
mony will be staged at 8 p.m. in
