                <text>During the fall semester of 1948, Buddy Mayo, the manager of the Student Shop, announced that the University of Richmond Spider, the "official University emblem," was receiving a new look to coincide with the "new football outlook and as an added incentive to college spirit." Mayo said that the new look was a "product of five years of work and study" aimed to please students who had previous been unsatisfied with the mascot. The new look spider wore a Confederate uniform, and the article notes that Mayo "wanted the students to understand that the grey coloring of the body of the spider is to offset the official colors of the school." Mayo went on to explain "that the spider so-dressed signifies that Richmond was the capital of the Confederacy during the War Between the States, and therefore the official blue would not be appropriate for the Spiders uniform." Mayo hoped the students would approve of the redesign.</text>

                <text>This article criticizes the continuing separation between Richmond College and Westhampton College, arguing that the division makes UR operate "as a summer camp environment with a lake in the middle," and that it was time that "steps were taken to turn UR into a truly co-ed university." It mentions specifically disputes between the colleges over which facilities they were to use. WC students wanted to use the Robins Center locker room facilities, and RC students wanted to use the WC tennis courts, leading to conflict resulting from a "lack of communication."</text>
