F. "Tip" Saunders, who wanted to change the Richmond Spider to the Richmond Confederates. He claimed that this would be a suitable change since the buildings in Richmond College were used as hospitals for the Confederate army. He started this movement in the Alumni Bulletin and the Alumni Bulletin offered two football tickets to the person who came up with the best letter in agreement with him, and two tickets to the writer of the letter in opposition to the change. He began to recruit sports writers on campus to begin to call Richmond the Confederates. Mac Pitt, student body president, made a speech stating that the name Spider should remain as other people would simply be confused. He directly opposed the alumni that wanted to change in his speech, and used Spider chants as a way of encouraging other students to oppose the change.

The article states that seeing this score (Richmond 14- North Carolina 13) is exciting as that means there will be a "scalping of an Injun", which we see mentioned in other articles. The article states the win is attributed to the team’s talent, and fan’s enthusiasm. The article concludes with the phrase, "Lead those Injuns in!", with reference to scalping. However, in the 1940’s North Carolina’s mascot was the Wolf Pack. This indicates some kind of confusion at The Collegian, or perhaps students were using these chants with reference to an upcoming game against William and Mary. This article seems to be reciting chants that fans and Richmond supporters used at the game.

Jones spoke at the YWCA on behalf of the Intercollegiate Council, and was brought to campus by the RIC. The president wrote that the students did not clarify who did not allow the speaker to sit with them, and that he did not hear of the incident until 2 weeks after. He also stated that there is no school policy that states the speaker should have been allowed to eat with the students. Boatwright states that the officers at the University of Richmond have been kind and helpful toward blacks, and have made efforts to improve their educational and economic opportunities. He claims that African Americans are much more in need of these opportunities rather than social equality. Boatwright wrote that he will not create a policy that "invites" black speakers to dine with the students as it is not the place to be implementing social equality. He claims when majority of students and parents are willing to invite black guests into their homes to dine with them, he will then consider changing the policy.
