TER 1978
Editor's l i e view Greetings . . .The cover of the Fall 1978 issue (including this column) was already off press at the time of the demise of Brother RALPH H. METCALFE, SR. Thus, I would like to take this opportunity to thank my predecessor in this position, Brother J. HERBERT KING, for his excellent biographical work on Brother Metcalfe. In addition to information available in past issues under Brother King's tutelage, he prepared a handsome and informative biography of the late Congressman which was distributed at memorial services in Chicago. The latter was essentially what was featured in our last issue, allowing us to provide immediate coverage to Brothers across the country. . . Two special inserts are included in this issue for your use -1) Nomination forms for our Second Annual Distinguished Collegians feature. We invite your participation in providing nominations for outstanding College Brothers. Brothers and Chapters are especially urged to submit information on the achievements of undergraduate Brothers in your areas. And remember collegians, you can nominate yourselves - I'll never tell! 2) Job Interview forms which, upon return, will register you for the General Convention's Job Interview and Recruitment Program. It should be noted that the 1978 Job Interview Program was the best in many years, with over 50 firms on site to talk with prospective employees. Further, all indications point to an even larger program in Washington in 1979. Don't allow this valuable opportunity to slip away - register now .by sending your resume to the General Office. Every resume received will be given to recruiters from each of the participating firms. . . FROM THIS DAY FORTH - All address corrections and inquiries regarding non-receipt of The Sphinx and other materials should be accompanied by your Life Membership or 1979 Passcard Number. . . In addition, please note that the new Alpha Directory is scheduled for Spring 1979 publication. Move now to insure that you're financial and that your correct mailing address is on file at the General Office. . . If every contributor (including those on our staff) showed the cooperation of Brother MARION BARRY, Mayor-Elect of Washington, D.C., and his staff, compiling these issues would be a breeze. Special thanks go to Ms. Florence Tate, Press Secretary of the Barry campaign, who responded with lightning speed to our every request and showed a phenomenal understanding of (and perhaps sympathy for) our frantic production operation. On the in-house side, Publications Committee Chairman HANLEY J. NORMENT was invaluable - making initial contacts during the campaign, compiling enough material for a small novel and following through via telecom and memo until the article was completed. I should also note that the outstanding Da/7y Convention Bulletins produced by Brother Norment in Minneapolis were instrumental in providing the convention coverage contained in our last issue. . . Another tremendous contribution was submitted by Brother RAYMOND HATCHER of Minneapolis, Minnesota. In town for his 50th Class Reunion, Brother JOHN F. THOMAS visited with the Hatchers and Brother Ray seized the opportunity to gather the information for our fascinating LEGACY feature. . . Thanks also to Brother LEE P. BROWN and his staff for help in the FOCUS article; Brother OZELL SUTTON for Viewpoint; and, as usual, the many Chapter Editors who keep us abreast of Alpha happenings around the country. DEADLINES: If you have not mailed your material for the Spring 1979 Issue, you'd better do it NOW! The deadline for the Summer Issue is March 1, 1979 . . . FYI -Please follow these guidelines - 1) All articles should be typewritten and doublespaced, preferably on 8 1 /i" X 1 1 " typing paper. 2) Adhere to DEADLINES! 3) Proofread articles before mailing. 4) If possible, send only black and white photos for publication. NO PHOTOS WILL BE RETURNED! Finally, it is important to follow the format of the various features (i.e., Alphas on the Move and Chapter News) - especially if you miss the deadline. At that point, little time remains for re-writing and your article might not get printed. With your cooperation in these ways, we can insure continuation of a quality journal. . Until next issue. . .

I would like to take this opportunity to reflect with you on the two years during which I have been privileged to serve as your General President. I do not feel that I can emphasize too much the meaning of our national program theme, "BACK TO BASICS: The Greatness of our Past is the Key to our Future." This motto attempts to capture the emotion which we all feel for the great institution we call "our" Fraternity. Unlike some things over which we had no control, each of us made a conscious decision to become members of Alpha Phi Alpha. For most, the things that set Alpha apart from the pack were its precepts and its proven track record of achievement for the benefit of mankind - "The Greatness of its Past." Thus, it behooves us to continually reflect upon that past as we attempt to chart a future of greater service. With that consideration, this administration embarked upon a course designed to put our house in order as a top priority - with emphasis on finance, ritual and rushing activities, convention planning and an improved national program. I am pleased to report great progress in each of these areas - even with the realization that so much more needs to be done. FINANCE The cry "Balance the Budget" is one heard each day in practically every sector of our society and all too often, attempts to reach this state are dismissed as rhetoric. However, the threat of spiraling costs is real and so too is the need for sound financial planning. With the dedicated help of our fiscal officers, we can report considerable progress in this area. We moved from a deficit in 1 9 7 6 to a balanced budget in fiscal 1 9 7 7 . Also, in that year, we were able to place the General Convention on a sound financial base - making it a self-supporting event rather than a drain on our limited general operating funds. Further, we have established a Life Membership Reserve Fund - including a restricted fund to insure the organization's continued financial stability.
2
CONVENTION PLANNING We have recently adopted a 5-Year Convention Plan which will provide us quaranteed first-class accommodations, competitive rates and a reduction in the cost of planning conventions. Much work has also been done on the improvement of convention programs, as evidenced by our 1 9 7 7 General Convention in Atlanta - the largest in the history of the Fraternity. A key element in that convention was the inclusion of the Smoker-Symposium, which insures that younger Brothers in attendance will have the opportunity to meet and share the wisdom of those Brothers who are responsible for shaping the posture of the Fraternity as it stands today. Our 1 9 7 8 convention, with its Tribute to the Black Woman, was another outstanding success which attracted leaders of national renown to speak to and discuss common problems with the Brothers and their families in attendance. We intend to continue our efforts in this area and insure that the Alpha convention is always an enjoyable, relevant and enlightening event. MILLION DOLLAR CAMPAIGN Probably the greatest undertaking in the history of Alpha Phi Alpha is our
J
j
campaign to raise One Million Dollars to benefit the UNCF, NAACP, and National Urban League - all organizations vital to the progress of Black Americans. Since kicking off our campaign in August of 1 9 7 7 , we have received pledges of one-half million dollars and collections in excess of $ 1 2 5 , 0 0 0 . We are well on our way to reaching our goal by August of 1 9 8 0 . PLEDGING Development of a uniform pledge program which will insure the inculcation of the proper precepts of the Fraternity and, at the same time, eliminate the remnants of physical and mental brutality has received considerable attention and hard work during the last two years. Following the action of the 1 9 7 8 General Convention, we are in the process of developing a model pledge program designed to achieve this end.
Finally, let me add that none of these achievements would have been possible without an outstanding national office staff and hundreds of volunteers at the national, regional and local levels. I consider one of my major accomplishments to be the development of an outstanding national staff which provides the over-all leadership for our national program. After an interim transition period, the General Office is making great strides toward becoming a full-service national headquarters. Much credit is due Executive Secretary James Blanton, Assistant Executive Secretary Darryl R. Matthews, and Brother Michael Price, Assistant Executive Secretary and Editor-in-Chief, The Sphinx. Our aim for the next two years is continued progress, as we work to solidify our gains and insure that Alpha Phi Alpha remains "First of All." Fraternally,
JAMES R.WILLIAMS General President

rag Help Us Serve You . . . In 1979 With the end of 1978, our operations have turned to trying to end the year with a "bang." We are pleased to cite much progress toward our goal of streamlining our General Office operations and we are confident of continued progress in ahead. Problems remain and we promise our best efforts to overcome them as quickly as possible. Although rules and regulations governing initiation have constantly been circulated to chapters and at meetings throughout the country, we are still experiencing the receipt of incomplete forms and, in some cases, no approved forms at all. If we are indeed to accomplish the many program objectives outlined, we must follow Fraternity regulations without failure. By doing so, you will not only enable us to better serve the Brotherhood but will eliminate the lengthy time periods now customary during the initiation process. Please refer to the regulations in this regard as they have appeared in the Alpha Workshop column in this issue of The Sphinx. Perhaps some streamlining of the procedures is in order and this is being given due consideration in the preparation of the Model Pledge Program. However, the major problem is clear and simple - no initiation is to be held without the written approval of the Regional Vice President or his designated representative. If this rule is followed, all administrative errors can be corrected quickly. It is my hope that each Brother took the time, during the holiday season to reflect upon the proposition that Alpha Phi Alpha's greatest interest lies not only within the Brotherhood but outside
Executive Secretary James B. Blanton (center) outlines strategy with (from left) Micha Price, Assistant Executive Secretary and Sphinx Editor, and Assistant Executive Secre Darryl Matthews. ourselves. That is quite in keeping with our national theme, Back to Basics, and is the essence of what we pledged by accepting the creed, "First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All." Allow me to suggest that your New Year's Resolution (albeit belated) be a commitment to follow the principles set forth by our Founders and articulated by our current national program. Only you can keep Alpha Number 1 - by supporting its programs; by reclaiming inactive Brothers; by introducing (yes, that is like recruiting) Alpha to prospective members; and, above all, by doing your part to let the world know that
Alpha Phi Alpha is a dedicated service organization - bringing many benefits to society through national and local chapter programs and through the contributions of the thousands of men who have pledged to be "Servants of All." The General Office staff is on hand to serve you and we welcome your input on all matters which you feel might be of benefit to our beloved Fraternity. Fraternally, ^â&#x20AC;˘JrlLwMJ James B.

Brother EWELL W. FINLEY worked hard to become an engineer. That work paid off and today, driving across New York's Triborough Bridge, you can see at least five skyscrapers that Ewell Finley designed. A native of Mobile, Alabama, Brother Finley enrolled at Alabama State intent on becoming an engineer - but at that time the engineering school was segregated. Alabama gave him a scholarship to go to Howard University in Washington, D.C. He graduated from Howard and earned an M.S. degree from the University of Michigan. In 1949, he began a teaching stint at South Carolina State University. During his tenure there, he founded the college's School of Engineering. Moving on to New York he began active work in the field. Fourteen years later, in 1966, Brother Finley began his own engineering company. As usual, success was elusive, in part based on the familiar premise "Big jobs go to established firms and you can't become an established firm until you've done the big jobs." Finally, in 1969, he was awarded the structural design of the New York State Office Building in Harlem. The success of this project focused long overdue attention on the talents of Ewell Finley. St. Philip's-on-the-Park Housing, East Metro North, and Schomberg Plaza are but a few of his designs. He has also worked on the Harlem School of the Arts and the extension of the Schomberg Library. Today, Ewell W. Finley, P.C., Consulting Engineers operates as one of the oldest and largest Black engineering firms in the United States. With over fifty employees, the firm now has branch offices in Atlanta, Washington and Poughkeepsie, New York. Brother Finley is pleased that he has had the opportunity to use his engineering knowledge in many ways: he has taught, designed and travelled extensively. Now Brother Finley spends much of his time encouraging minorities, especially Blacks and Latinos, to enter the engineering field. The Sphinx / Winter 1978

WORKSHOP Several chapters have changed the officers who are responsible for transmitting forms to the General Office; thus, we are experiencing continuous problems with the proper procedures to be followed regarding the NOTICE OF INITIATION form. Therefore, in an effort to eliminate future problems and delays, a previous workshop is again made available — to be followed as an official guideline in preparing the N.O.I, form. Note: Copies of all Workshop articles should be made and placed in the Chapter File for future reference. Perhaps the most troublesome form for our chapters to file is the NOTICE OF INITIATION form. Most of the problems that have been encountered are due to disregard for: (1) the time period (three weeks) needed to complete the PROCESSING OF NEW MEMBERS; (2) obtaining the APPROPRIATE SIGNATURES on the N.O.I. form; and (3) obtaining and transmitting TRANSCRIPTS and HEALTH CERTIFICATES at the proper time. Any of the above, especially (3), will surely guarantee that the chapter's entire remittance will be rejected and not processed until all problems have been corrected. If members of your chapter have not received their initiation materials (Shingles/Pins/History Books), it would be wise to check with the National Office to find out if proper procedures were followed when materials were ordered. As a means to eliminate the major problem of "proper timing," I have broken down the procedure for filing the N.O.I, form into easy-to-follow steps: TO SEND OR NOT TO SEND . . . IS NOT THE QUESTION Due to the large number of possible misunderstandings involved in submitting this form, I will attempt to present the steps as simply as I can to ensure that each step is clearly understood. Step 1 : At least one week before Sphinx Club induction ceremonies, copies 1 (Green) and 2 (Gold) of the NOTICE OF INITIATION form should be filled out with the Name and Date of Birth of all candidates for the club. Copies 1 and 2 (signed by the Chapter Secretary) should then be sent — along with a copy of each candidate's official transcript* — to the Vice President (or Regional Director, where applicable) for his approval and signature. Step 2: After affixing his signature, the Vice President (or Regional Director) will return copy 2 to the chapter to be retained. All approved candidates can then be inducted into the Sphinx Club. Step 3: The chapter should then carry out, as soon as possible (to allow at least 15 days before the last pledge week for forms to be received in the National Office), the balloting of proposed candidates to be initiated into the fraternity. Afterwards, all candidates meeting constitutional requirements and affirmative approval of the chapter should then be listed on copies 3, 4 and 5 of the
NOTICE OF INITIATION form. The Registrar of the College must also affix his signature on copies 3, 4 and 5 to signify the approved candidates meet all of the requirements of the college. While the forms are being prepared, each candidate is to have a medical examination and present proof of same to the Dean of Pledges. Step 4: After all of the above procedures have been carried out, the chapter is now ready to forward the following to the Executive Secretary at National Headquarters — all of which must be received 15 days prior to the beginning of Pledge Week. A. Completed REMITTANCE OF FUNDS form (see October issue of Sphinx — page 7) along with all required fees for initiates. B. Completely filled out OFFICIAL PIN ORDER BLANK. C. Copies 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the NOTICE OF INITIATION form properly filled out (with full names, dates of Pledge Week, and Date of Initiation on all three copies) — and signed, along with Medical Certificates. (An outline of proposed activities to take place during Pledge Week should show on the back of copies 3, 4 and 5 of the N.O.I.) Step 5: The Executive Secretary shall certify the receipt of proper fees and transmit copies 3 and 4 to the Vice President for his signature, and retain copies 2 and 5 for the chapter record file. The Vice President will forward copy 3 to the chapter, and copy 4 to the Regional Director (with the medical records). After the initiation has taken place, the Regional Director forwards copy 4 to the Vice President indicating successful/non-successful completion of the same. Note: No initiation shall take place in a chapter, whether college or alumni, except under the supervision of the Regional Vice President or his designated representative. If you find your chapter without forms, you should know that Notice of Initiation forms can be obtained from the National Office by just asking for them, which should be done as far in advance of anticipated need as possible. Don't wait until the last minute to mail in your request. •For Alumni - copy of earned degree or certified statement from the Registrar of the College that the candidate was awarded an appropriate degree (Baccalaureate degree/minimum).

HIGH PRAISE TO ALPHA OF LIFE MEMBERS GREETINGS BROTHERS With the Holiday Season upon us I am reminded of many letters and phone calls to me from wives and mothers seeking information regarding making their husbands or sons "Life Members." Many wives have given their husbands Life Membership for Christmas. It has been such a pleasure heariang how their husbands rejoiced and reacted when their Life Member Pin was presented to them. Just a few weeks ago one wife and mother of Brothers told me that her son who finished college a few years ago and is now working, just finished his payment. She is using his great feeling as an incentive to make her husband get his Life Membership. Yes, the wives and mothers of Alpha men have been wonderful. We all give High Praise to them. The Alpha Life Memberships have been given for Christmas gifts, Anniversary presents, Birthday presents, and Memorable awards. Our goal is to get all Alphas enrolled in the Life Member program. The great Life Member Spirit and Enthusiasm continues to grow at present. There are 4,414 fully paid life members with nearly 1,000 Brothers enrolled in the Life Memberships Program. Our goal is to reach 5,000 full paid Life Members by convention time.
HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON TO EVERY BROTHER AND THEIR FAMILY! Fraternally yours, Brother Elmer C. Collins Chairman - National Life Membership Program
Can't decide on a Father's Day, Birthday, Anniversary, or Graduation GIFT? HOW ABOUT A LIFE MEMBERSHIP THIS YEAR!

BARRY* MAYOR Sweeping the November 10th general election with almost 70% of the vote against Republican challenger Arthur Fletcher, Brother MARION BARRY became the second person to be elected to the office of Mayor of Washington, District of Columbia. It was not an easy road, however, for the real test in the overwhelmingly Democratic district was the September 12th primary election. In that contest, Barry edged out incumbent Mayor Walter Washington and City Council Chairman Sterling Tucker (also an Alpha Man). An achiever with a wide range of experience as a businessman, youth leader, political activist, and government official, Marion Barry entered the primary as an underdog - yet, with the confidence that he could bring needed improvement to city management, schools, housing, employment and other matters of concern to D. C. residents. His spirited campaign gained him enough support throughout the District to win that contest.
Barry entered the primary as the underdog . . . Coming from behind is not a new experience for Marion Barry. Born in the Mississippi Delta town of Itta Bena, Brother Barry's father (a farm laborer) died suddenly when Marion was four years of age. His mother moved the family to Memphis, remarried and worked hard at raising her family. The major change was one from rural to urban poverty, with Marion and other family members often traveling to Mississippi and Arkansas to chop cotton - just to make ends meet. Barry was constantly encouraged by his parents to strive for the highest and he worked hard to realize his ambitions. He became an Eagle Scout, a member of the National Honor Society, played varsity sports and held student government positions in high school. The Sphinx / Winter 1978
College was the next step for Brother Barry, the only member of his family to get a college education. Enrolling at LeMoyne-Owen College in Memphis, Brother Barry was initiated into Beta Xi Chapter. Here too, his activist spirit was unleashed. His Brothers at Beta Xi recall numerous discourses during which Barry lashed out against segregation. Brother Ulysses Campbell notes, "He didn't care if we said that segregation was the way it is. He'd say it wasn't right and we ought to do something about it." Brother Barry's feelings on this subject quickly thrust him into the public spotlight. As President of the LeMoyne NAACP, he demanded the resignation of former Memphis Mayor Walter Chandler (an avowed segregationist) from the school's Board of Trustees. Brother Hollis Price, then President of LeMoyne, admits that he was not pleased by Barry's action because of his concern for the survival of the struggling private institution. Brother Price states "At that time I did not have much faith in his judgment. I did not understand." A subsequent public rally featuring NAACP Executive Director Roy Wilkins sustained Barry's move and he went on to graduate from LeMoyne. With him went the mark of a leader - which remains to this day.
At LeMoyne his activist spirit was unleashed . . . From college Brother Barry went to Fisk University in Nashville, where he received a Master's degree in Chemistry. Then it was on to the University of Tennessee in Knoxville for doctoral studies in chemistry, a period during which he was in and out of Mississippi organizing voter registration among rural Blacks in his home state. Withdrawing from the Ph.D. program to
take on ever increasing responsibilities in the Civil Rights Movement, he became the first National Chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in 1960. Brother Barry's move to Washington found him confronted with another situation which aroused his indignation.
In 1960 he became the first National Chairman of SNCC. The nation's capital was a sleeping giant. Its Black citizens, in the majority, were mainly docile. The Congress of the United States, in particular the House District Committee - at that time chaired by Representative John L. McMillan (D-South Carolina), controlled the day-to-day operations of the government. The White House appointed the District's leaders. Here, as in Memphis, the issue was clear: Washington was a major American city whose Black majority had no vote and, consequently, practically no influence in the affairs vitally affecting their lives. As SNCC Washington Director, Barry was deeply involved in leading local civil rights efforts. To address the issue at hand, he created and led the Free D.C. Movement in a turbulent campaign to win local self-government for the District of Columbia. Both Congress and the local business establishment were perfectly happy with the status quo and Brother Barry was branded a "radical" for his strident efforts in this campaign. In any event, the ultimate goal was achieved. Washington is now self-governing and Marion Barry and the citizens of the District had chalked up another success. In the summer of 1967, Barry cofounded PRIDE, Inc., a non-profit organization which created small businesses and employed and trained 1 I
MARIONS! RARRY4TO& MAYOR unskilled, low-income youth, in projects such as street cleaning, rat removal, operation of gasoline stations, landscaping and house painting. It was during this period that a number of additional non-terms were tacked on to the ever-confusing (to the outsiders) Barry image - including "rabble-rouser" and "street person." As the Pride spokesman, Barry's main task was to deal with the "street dudes" and he cultivated a like image of himself, even carrying a gun. He further notes that he was as frightened during these times as were the many citizens frightened by him. Pride's success toward its stated goals (and Brother Barry's role therein) are the source of lively debate. It is said that 15,000 inner-city youths have been trained by Pride over the last ten years and Willard Wirtz, former Secretary of Labor, called it "one of the most successful manpower programs in the country." What is more certain, and perhaps more important, is that Barry's work with disadvantaged street hardened Black youths (during a particularly turbulent time in this nation's history) went a long way toward keeping the District from exploding in the manner of Watts and his old hometown of Memphis. And that, stated the Washington Post in its endorsement of his candidacy, is one of the basic arguments in favor of Marion Barry.
The Free D.C. Movement fought for home rule . . . In 1971 Brother Barry was elected to the D. C. Board of Education. He served as its president for two and a half years, from 1972-1974. In an editorial the Post described his tenure, to wit: "By and large, the Board under the presidency of Marion S. Barry, Jr. has curbed the carping in favor of serious deliberations." 12
In the city's first "home rule" election in 1974 (an event he fought diligently to attain) Barry was elected at-large to the City Council, winning re-election in 1976 with nearly 73% of the vote. He served as Chairman of the important Finance and Revenue Committee of the Council, and as a member of the Budget, Public Safety, and Government Operations Committees. While serving as Chairman of the Finance and Revenue Committee he was responsible for a $6,000 reduction in the assessed value of a home before property taxes are applied, a $100,000 reduction in taxes and expenditures since the beginning of Home Rule, closing tax loopholes, and establishing a tax rate which will encourage businesses to locate in the District of Columbia.
His tenure as a public official is marked by dedication and hard work.
An unlikely coalition, "Barry's Army" swept to power.
Married to the former Effi Cowell of Toledo, Ohio, Marion Barry promises to approach his job as chief executive of the nation's capital with vigor. Says the Washington Post, "Mr. Barry has been in the right place in the past, when it counted. And he has come to the right place now. What has remained constant in this admirable political journey has been the vitality and dedication and exuberance with which he has addressed various challenges, under various circumstances, at quite different times in his career." That appraisal, and the citizens' confidence in their new leader, speak well for the future of the District of Columbia under the administration of Marion Barry -Mayor.
Brother Barry's tenure as a public official has been marked by dedication and hard work toward the attainment of human rights for all citizens, for fair taxation for all, for a well-funded and wellplanned and administered system of education, for sound economic development and the creation of jobs, and for a strong effective city government. Always "where the action is" he was wounded in the 1977 takeover of the District Building (the seat of local government) by the Hanafi Muslim sect. Direct and charismatic, Marion Barry has blazed a meteoric path of accomplishment during the forty-two years of his life, leaving admiration, envy and some confusion in his wake. The latter is largely due to his easy transitions from role to role in response to the changing times and the situations which need to be addressed. That confusion is not exactly relieved by the amazing coalition he pieced together to garner his primary victory and subsequent election.Defying the big labor unions, the business establishment and the Black political machine controlled by church leaders, "Barry's Army" swept to power with regiments including veteran civil rights workers, feminists, gay rights activists, affluent whites and (surprising to some -not to Barry) lots of Blacks.

m Brother Lee Patrick Brown Born in Wewoka, Oklahoma (capital of the Seminole Indian nation), Brother LEE PATRICK BROWN was reared in California from age five. The first member of his family to attend college, Brother Brown entered California State University at Fresno in 1955 on a football scholarship with a strong desire, he says, "to be a jock." His football skills were, however, soon matched with brilliance in the classroom - and a success story was in the making. Brother Brown remained at Fresno State to receive the Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminology. He went on to nearby San Jose State University to get a Master of Arts degree in Sociology and earned another Master of Arts degree in Criminology from the University of California at Berkeley. While working with the San Jose Police Department, Brother Brown commuted to Berkeley, earning the Ph.D. from the prominent School of Criminology at UCBerkeley. As Commissioner of the department of Public Safety for the City of Atlanta, Brother Brown has the monumental task of supervising the Bureaus of Police Services, Fire Services, Civil Defense and Corrections - and no one could be better prepared for the job. Commissioner Brown, in addition to his academic credits, is no newcomer to the administration of protective services - he is known around the country as one of the foremost leaders of the police sciences. In accepting the Atlanta post, he turned down an offer to be Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Law Enforcement Assistance Administration in Washington, D.C. Following his work with the San Jose Police Department, Brown was named Director and Professor of Administration of Justice at Portland State University (Oregon) and charged with the responsibility of developing a criminology program there. He acThe Sphinx / Winter 1978
Atlanta's Public Safety Chief
cepted a similar responsibility in 1972, moving to Howard University (Washington, D.C.) to become Associate Director of the Institute for Urban Affairs and Research, Professor of Public Administration, and Director of Criminal Justice Programs. In 1975 Brother Brown was named Sheriff and Director of Public Safety for Multnomah County, Oregon (Portland) and, in 1976, he was promoted to Director of the Department of Justice Services for the county. In these two positions, Commissioner Brown gained valuable practical experience and put into force innovations which gave the department, and Brown, a national reputation as professional and progressive. Brother Brown's approach to law enforcement is perhaps a source of even greater hope for the citizens of Atlanta than his personal credentials. Among
the ideas he implemented in Oregon were team policing, community activities by officers and increased educational requirements for the force. Another vital issue for the city, with a large minority and poor population, is the use of deadly force by police officers - a subject which is fast becoming a nationwide controversy. While Sheriff of Multnomah County, Brown effectively implemented a sane firearms policy which is one of the most restrictive in the country. That policy has served to satisfy both officers and citizens in terms of their personal safety. An extensively published author in the police sciences, Commissioner Brown has served as a consultant to various federal, state and local governments on issues related to criminal justice. He currently serves as a consultant to both the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and the Community Relations Service of the U. S. Department of Justice. Among his many professional associations, Brother Brown has served as Chairman of the Education, Training and Manpower Development Task Force of the National Advisory Commission on Criminal Justice Standards and Goals and Chairman of the National Minority Advisory Council on Criminal Justice. Commissioner Brown has been the recipient of numerous honors for work in criminal justice and the community. During the Ford administration, the President named him a National Correspondent to the United Nations Program on the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders. When a former Governor of Georgia campaigned for the Presidency his motto was "Why not the Best." With the selection of Lee Patrick Brown as Atlanta's safety chief, Mayor Maynard Jackson showed that he might be better at implementing that ideal than Jimmy Earl himself. 15

EDUCATION AND LEADERSHIP My beloved fellow College Brothers in Alpha, I will attempt to write on the above subject which I think is of great importance to you and me as future leaders of tomorrow. Not only should one pursue an education for the economic opportunities that it will present, but he should keep in mind the cultural enrichment which will be added to his life. In order for one to enjoy fully the short lives that we have, we must be able to appreciate the wide spectrum of diversions, pleasures, and services which it affords. As one is able to find satisfaction in the pursuits that he has chosen and in the contributions which he is able to make to his family and the community, that adds another dimension to his sense of achievement. An ALPHA MAN with his education virtually assures this accomplishment. I have met a lot of fellow College Brothers from different regions. We talked on issues pertaining to our fraternal life and academic pursuits. I will say we came up with bright ideas to greet the challenges of this complex world as we embark on this journey in progress. I will therefore ask you to be forever mindful of each step you take to make sure it is the one for moving forward. I also seize this opportunity to say - Let's keep in touch through writing or visitation frequently, as time permits, so that we can exchange more ideas on how to better our lives, Alpha Phi Alpha, elders in our various communities and most importantly, help the youths in junior and senior high schools to gain self awareness and shrapen their identities in preparation for the future. We must take advantage of opportunities provided for us in our various institutions for it is from them that we will be gaining the insights that will launch The Sphinx / Winter 1978
us into our professional careers. By doing so we will be strong enough to be in a better bargaining position especially in the world where the voice of the weak is never respected and where the weak are necessarily made to suffer the inevitable. Although life itself takes time, if we build faith, success will come from hard work and perseverance. My college President in a speech reminded us that college students have the primary responsibility of discovering who they are and to waste no time in getting on with the task of developing their academic knowledge and skills as well as inculcating sound principles that will lead to the development of positive attitudes and appealing personal qualities that are often keys to successful living. Fellow college brothers in Alpha, the future is now! Right now!! What can be achieved today must not be delayed until tomorrow. Time is precious. We must learn to work harder, ambitiously and relentlessly to achieve to the maximum of our abilities and always realizing that anything worthwhile is not likely to be accomplished early. As Alpha young men, we must strive to be the very best in anything we do. A paraphrase of a challenge once used by Brother Martin Luther King, Jr. "if it falls your lot to be a school teacher, go on out and teach school like Michelangelo painted pictures; teach school like Beethoven composed music; teach school like Shakespeare wrote poetry; teach school like Jesus Christ taught his disciples; teach school so well that all the hopes of heaven and earth will have to rise and say there lived a great school teacher who taught his people well," so let us set our standards higher and strive for more ex-
cellence in all endeavors to enter into the fast increasing competitive, complex, multi-national, technological world so that we remain now and forever -# 1. Brothers, I challenge you to always look at the positive side of life, NEVER ACCEPT FAILURE no matter how difficult the task, for ALPHA MEN always move forward and believe that they can succeed - so brothers, I CHALLENGE YOU.

Brother John Frederick Thomas INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE SPECIALIST
"/ constantly invoke principles which make for common Brotherhood and the echo resounds in all communities . . . " The House of Alpha 18
All too often, in assessing the worth of organizations such as Alpha, primary emphasis is placed on those projects taken by the group in a collective manner. However, we cannot afford to forget the other, and perhaps most important, facet of our Brotherhood. As noted in the Sphinxman Handbook, "The object of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity is to stimulate the ambition of its members; to prepare them for the greatest usefulness in the causes of humanity, freedom and dignity of the individual; to encourage the highest and noblest form of manhood; and to aid downtrodden humanity in its efforts to achieve higher social, economic and intellectual status." In this light, although his profession has limited his participation in day-to-day Fraternity affairs, we can see that the work of Brother JOHN FREDERICK THOMAS is truly an Alpha contribution to humanity. Director of the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration (ICEM), Brother John F. Thomas has worked in the field of international migration and refugee resettlement for over thirty years. From 1945 to 1947, he was Welfare Officer of the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration in Ulm, Germany. In 1947, he became Area Resettlement Officer of the International Refugee Organization (IRO) in Germany. In 1949, Brother Thomas was appointed Chief Resettlement Officer for IRO in the U.S. Zone of Germany, where he was in charge of resettlement operations in six processing centers, including supervision of the implementation of the Displaced Persons Act of 1948, under which approximately 340,000 refugees were resettled in the United States. From 1952 to 1963, he served in Geneva, Switzerland, with ICEM, where he was Deputy Chief of Operations. ICEM, which is sponsored by thirty-three nations, has been responsible for the resettlement of more than 2.1 million nationals and refugees, in new homelands, during the past 24 years. In 1956, Brother Thomas worked in Austria and Yugoslavia, arranging for the movement of 180,000 Hungarian refugees. In 1963, Thomas returned to the United States to accept the position as Director of the Cuban Refugee Program. In September 1965, he was loaned to the Department of State to work in South Vietnam in establishing a refugee program in that country. On January 1, 1966, Brother Thomas returned to resume responsibilities as Director of the Cuban Refugee Program. In March 1968, he became Chief of the Refugee Division of the U.S. AID Program in Vietnam, where he was Adviser The Sphinx / Winter 1978

to the South Vietnam government on the problems of serving over 1,500,000 refugees living in over 850 camps in that country. In November 1968, the Council of the Intergovernmental Committee for European Migration unanimously elected Brother Thomas as Director of ICEM. He is presently serving in that position in ICEM Headquarters, Geneva. Brother Thomas was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, January 24, 1907. He holds B.A. and M.A. degrees from the University of Minnesota, where he majored in History and minored in Social Work. He was initiated into Mu Chapter under the direction of Past General President Raymond W. Cannon. For several years, Brother Thomas was engaged in settlement-house work in Minneapolis. He also worked for the Minnesota State Employment Service and the National Youth Administration. He has served on the Board of Directors of the Phyllis Wheatley Settlement house in Minneapolis and of the Minneapolis Urban League. He served in the Army from 1942 to 1945. Brother Thomas has received the following awards: 1957 The Joseph E. Chamberlain Award from the New York State The Sphinx / Winter 1978
Committee on Refugees; 1964 - The Superior Service Award given by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare; 1968 - Medal for Social Welfare Services, 1st Class, by the South Vietnamese Government; May 1969 -The Plakett and Silver Medal by the Norwegian Refugee Council; December 1969 - the Rockefeller Public Service Award in Recognition of his distinguished years of service in the field of Foreign Affairs and International Operations; October 1970 - The Holy Cross of Apostle and Evangelist Mark by the Pope and Patriach of Alexandria, Greece; November 1971 - the Nansen Ring by the International Collegium Fridtjof Nansen; March 1972 - Grand Cross of the Order Vasco Nunez de Balboa, Government of Panama; 1978 - Zvi Hirsch Award, the Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society. Also in 1978, Brother Thomas returned to the United States for the 50th reunion of his college class. On that occasion, he received one of two Outstanding Achievement Awards presented by the University of Minnesota. Unfortunately for us, the name John F. Thomas is not universally recognized. Yet his life's work epitomizes what is really meant by being a "Servant of All." 19

A l p h a ' s Youth Development Program Brother O z e l l Sutton
The Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has a long and distinguished history of involvement and leadership in human concerns. It was the first Greek letter organization to initiate a nationwide social action program when it launched a highly provocative but successful voter registration campaign. Thousands of Black citizens were persuaded to participate in the election system as hundreds of Alpha Chapters conducted registration campaigns using the rallying cry, "A Voteless People is a Hopeless People." These campaigns were launched and conducted during the politically, racially and economically troubled years of the 1930's and they rallied Blacks to a greater participation in political affairs as a method of improving basic human rights. The Fraternity was later involved in the fight against the "private club" concept of the Democratic primaries of the South and gave strong and effective leadership to the movement that finally opened these to Black participation in the mid 40's. When Blacks were systematically disenfranchised and denied minimal educational opportunities, Alpha launched a highly successful campaign to inspire Black youth to stay in school as it at the same time fought to improve educational opportunities for them. Alpha Chapters gave thousands of dollars in scholarships in this national effort. The Alpha campaign to assist and inspire Black youth toward their highest
aspirations was sparked by a national theme â&#x20AC;&#x201D; "Go to High School, Go to College." Again in the 1930's, the Fraternity gave articulation and leadership to a national movement that was highly successful. The legitimate hopes and aspirations of thousands of Black young people were lifted to the resounding benefit of Black people. The increased educational and aspirational levels of Blacks in the nation contributed directly to legal push for desegregation in the late 40's and 50's and to the dramatic demonstrations of the 60's. The role of Alpha men in inspiring and leading the civil rights movement of the 60's is clear to all. History will record the endless list of Alpha men whose names appear on the honor roll of the decade. Bro. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Bro. Thurgood Marshall are but examples of Alpha Brothers who gave dedicated and articulate leadership to the movement. The time has come when Alpha must once again step to the forefront and furnish a contributing and sustaining type leadership. We must lead in consolidating the gains of the 50's and 60's and protect them against those forces that would turn back the clock of time. Alpha must lead in securing the advances of the past and move swiftly toward obtainment of new freedoms, new aspects of human dignity and new horizons in the human experiences of learning, living and loving. Alpha, because first of all we are ser-
"Alpha must lead in securing the advances of the past. . . " 20

The Southern Region held its first Leadership Development/Citizenship Education Workshop for high school students in 19 76.

In the above photo, Brother Henry Ponder (who chaired the workshop) is shown with LD/CE participants.
vants of all, must again lead a national thrust of re-grouping, solidifying and inspiring. It must do it with inspired leadership. It must do it with devotion and dedication. But equal to all, it must do it with a viable program designed to serve the 70's and 80's in the same critical way that education and voter registration programs served the 30's and 40's and the civil rights movement served the 60's.
"The need for Blacks to rebuild and rekindle is apparent.1J»
The Youth Development Program proposed to the Fraternity's 1978 General Convention by the Southern Region will fulfill that need and allow Alpha to remain in the forefront of leadership among those who would serve the needs of human uplift and advancement. The need for Blacks to rebuild and rekindle is apparent. The Youth Development Program represents such The Sphinx / Winter 1978
an effort as it is designed to assist and inspire Black youths to higher levels of achievement. Further, the components of the program are not new to Alpha Chapters. They represent but that which hundreds of chapters are doing each year. The purpose of this program is to develop these individual initiatives into a national thrust. Briefly, the Youth Development Program consists of the following elements: • Planning and directing a national Leadership Development and Citizenship Education Institute. To such an institute would be invited Black high school age students who would be in issue recognition, communication skills, parliamentary usage, etc. In other words, they will be given the tools of leadership as well as the inspiration to use them in the interest of equality and justice. • Career Guidance and Development is an area which would be covered through career conferences, job fairs, tutorial programs and the like. This thrust would include non-college preparatory guidance as well as assistance to those desirous and able to pursue higher education. • A Youth Recognition Program is mandated by the highly publicized incidents of juvenile delinquency involving a small portion of Black youth, which presents a false picture of today's young people. Alpha Phi Alpha would assist Black youth in obtaining a positive image of themselves and to heighten their aspirational levels by giving due public recognition to their
legitimate hopes and aspirations, their achievements, their talents and their athletic abilities. I am pleased to note that the 72nd Anniversary Convention adopted the Youth Development Program and same was charged, by the Board of Directors, to the Alpha Phi Alpha Education Foundation Foundation for implementation. As logistics and other details are planned by the Foundation, each of you can ex-
'they will be given the tools of leadership"
pect to gain additional information concerning this bold direction within our Fraternity. The Alpha call to leadership must be heard and answered. It is incumbent upon each of us to give wholehearted supported to the Youth Development Program as it is developed and implemented. We can do no less if we are to remain true to our creed, "First of All, Servants of All." 21

Brother Ryle A. Bell
Brother Emmett Bashful
Brother Bashful was chosen to receive the award from the Institute for Human Understanding on the basis of his contributions to the civic, humanitarian, and cultural life of the Greater New Orleans area. The Institute is a local organization that trains persons to c o u n s e l f o r p e r s o n a l , f a m i l y , or emotional problems. Brother RYLE A. BELL of Springfield, Virginia is married and the father of three daughters. He was born in Barbados, West Indies where he completed his high school education before moving to New York City in 1964. He attended NYCC, majoring in Dental Laboratory Technology, graduating Magna Cum Laude and named "Athlete of the Year" for his participation in track and fencing. His B.S. was completed at Long Island University in 1969. He then attended Howard University College of Dentistry, graduating with the D.D.S. degree in 1973. While in dental school, Dr. Bell was elected President of the Student Coun-
cil and upon graduation was elected to Omicron Kappa Upsilon, the national dental honor society. He was awarded the Elijah Muhammed Award and the Dean's Award for academic excellence and community participation in the life of the school. After leaving dental school, Dr. Bell attended the Ohio State University, specializing in prosthodontics and completing his Masters degree in 1976. This was the year that he was initiated into Omicron Lambda Alpha Chapter in Washington, D.C.

Brother John H. Tisdale Most of the men of Tau Lambda were surprised a short while ago when they received the news that Brother JOHN H. TISDALE, recently retired from his teaching post at Washington Junior High, Nashville, Tennessee, after a score or more years, had established a coaching record that few, if any, coaches will ever achieve. Had the record of this brother been that of another, it undoubtedly would have been much more widely publicized. But Brother Tisdale is a quiet, reserved man who is not accustomed to shouting his wares from the housetop. As a consequence, with a seeming reluctance, he lately referred to what has to be an enviable record. A review of Brother Tisdale's successes as a coach in several sports at Washington Junior High discloses a most impressive record. For example, in basketball, his teams over the years, The Sphinx / Winter 1978
won 856 games, while losing only 88. In the same sport, his teams lost only five games in a fifteen year time span. In the last six years of his active coaching career, his boys lost only two games. Brother Tisdale's penchant for fielding strong teams clearly showed itself when, in 1966, Washington Junior High became a member of the Nashville Interscholastic Athletic league (NIAL) where it met stronger teams of both races. In the very first year of membership, the League awarded twelve rotating trophies; Washington teams won all twelve: Five in basketball, two in flag football, two in softball, and three in track and field. Teams in these four sports were Tisdale-coached. In 1966, Brother Tisdale took his teams into the Tennessee Secondary School Athletic Association (TSSAA). Again, in the first year, basketball teams led by Coach Tisdale immediately demonstrated its superiority in play against teams from over the entire State. They made a clean sweep of all association championships and all tournament championships. In organization sponsored basketball and track and field meets, Washington usually won a disproportionately large number of awards and trophies. It almost goes without saying that during his teaching and coaching years, Brother Tisdale's many students at Washington Junior High felt his influence. Some, no doubt, chose to prepare for one occupation or profession because of his efforts; a few of the boys on his teams decided upon professional athletics, most notable of whom were Theodore "The Hound"
McClain, currently with the Philadelphia 76ers, and Walter Overton, recent football star at the University of Tennessee. Most important, one has the feeling that Brother Tisdale has wrought more good than even he knows, or believes. Brother CHARLES F. WEST, one of the brightest athletic stars of his generation, was honored at Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pennsylvania, on October 7, 1978, by the presentation of a Distinguished Service Award, given by the General Alumni Association in recognition of his service to society in the field of medicine, which has reflected honor upon his Alma Mater. Brother West was the first Black to play in the Rose Bowl; he was the quarterback of the Washington and Jefferson team of iron men when they played the University of California, January 2, 1922. Known as one of the best backs to perform on Eastern gridirons during his career, "Pruner" West drew praise from such sports luminaries as Pop Warner, Ed Sullivan, and Greasy Neal, who coached him for two years. And, too, we must remember that as a Black athletic pioneer, Charlie climbed the heights to weather the storms when some teams refused to play against him solely because his race. But West was undaunted and proceeded to display the big league touch in everything he did. He began track work early in his native city of Washington, Pennsylvania, and climaxed his career with epic performances in

1923 and 1924, winning the U.S. pentathlon championship at the Penn Relays and membership on the U.S. Olympic team. Coach John Heisman, for whom the celebrated football trophy is named, one of the game's great technicians, coached West in 1923. In his austere way, Heisman told his players publicly that being a good football player was not half so important as being a gentleman. And Charlie's career has been a living testimony of his coach's words. He heads a fine family, which includes his wife, Laverne; a son, Nathaniel; a daughter, Linda; and three lovely grandchildren. In 1973 the Alexandria, Virginia branch of the Urban League gave him a citation for fifty years of valued service to the community where he practices. And in 1978 the Howard University Medical Alumni Association awarded Dr. West a plaque for his service, dedication, and contributions to the practice of medicine for half a century. And, too, Alphas should not forget this brother's contribution to the lives of young people. He coached the Howard football team while he was studying for his medical degree; he organized a youth group in the fifties for the Eastern Skeet and Trap Association. Joining Omicron Chapter, Pittsburgh, in 1923, Life Member West (now active with Mu Lambda chapter) cherishes the fellowship and the binding loyalty of his many years as an Alpha man. The competitive zest, the strength, and enthusiasm that shaped the career of this Black, athletic pioneer should serve as a guide to our young brothers and athletic competitors, who will learn that early achievement is only the beginning in the endeavor of life, not the finish, of a job well done. Brother F. A. WHITE, Jr. of Theta Sigma Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Inc. located at Lorman, Mississippi received the Ed. D degree in Counselor Education from Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, Virginia during graduation ceremonies on June 10, 1978. He received the B.S. degree from Indiana University in Secondary Education in 1971. Further study was done at the University of Wisconsin in 1966, and the Ed.

Brother White presently resides in Port Gibson, Mississippi, where he is employed as Director of Career Education for the Claiborne County Public Schools and adjunct professor for Alcorn State University, Lorman, Mississippi. Brother JESSE W. WOODS, JR., is currently employed by the O.I.C. International movement. His tenure with the O.I.C. goes back over a period of ten years serving as a volunteer recruiter, remedial education instructor & supervisor, administrator in retail management, and management assistance specialist.

Brother Woods main responsibility will be developing an Entrepreneurial Development Training unit which will give Liberian people management development training skills for establishing and operating on-going small businesses.

EAST Washington, d.c. Let the word go forth to all Alphadom that Mu Lambda, the 7 other graduate and the 4 college chapters of the local area, are preparing on a wide scale, with careful planning, for the entertaining of the 73rd Annual Convention meeting here August 3-9, 1979, with headquarters at the Washington Hilton Hotel, D.C. We expect 3,000 Alpha Brothers and their families to take this opportunity of visiting the Nation's beautiful capital and attending a neverto-be-forgotten meeting. Washington, with its multi-ethnic make-up, its longtime, stable Black majority on the upswing is famous for attracting millions of pleasure-seeking visitors who come to view its notable government and historic buildings, outstanding cultural centers, stores and restaurants, sports facilities, educational institutions, amusements, and so on. National President James Williams and Director of Conventions Kermit Hall outlined the General Convention format in a meeting with area representatives on September 2 1 . Recommendations for the metropolitan area, day-by-day programs were listed. Innovative ideas, some of them boldly original and intriguing, might be included in the local committee plans. The Alpha wives and youngsters will participate fully in the program, and the gathering should have substance and meaning for all who attend, according to the local chairman, Brother Ruppert Pigott. Details of procedures and expenditures will be sent out soon to all chapters. New officers elected to guide the helm this year are: Elmer Moore, President; John Roper, Vice-President; Frederick Johnson, Recording Secretary; John Wallace, Corresponding Secretary; Ernest Smith, Financial Secretary; Elmer Geathers, Treasurer; William Colbert, Chaplain; Maryland Kemp, Sgt.-at-Arms; and J. L. Langhorne, Associate Editor to the Sphinx. The group is taking steps for effective planning. A Black fraternity holds the interest and loyalty of its older members as few other organizations are able to do. Our new leader, Brother Elmer Moore, is an outstanding, retired practicing economist, who worked for various government agencies for many years. Now an economics professor at the University of Maryland, Eastern The Sphinx / Winter 1978
Shore, and an economics consultant, Elmer has published articles for national and international distribution. A graduate of the University of California at Berkeley, with the degrees of B.A. and M.S., Brother Moore is married to the former Areta Easterling and they have three sons. Our chapter has greatly benefited by the 15-year tenure of our Treasurer, Brother Dr. George Young, who resigned. Dr. Young, a 1950 graduate of the Howard University School of Dentistry, has enjoyed a successful practice in D.C. We regret also the resignation of Brother C. C. House, Financial Secretary, who has contributed mightily to various phases of our chapter program for 45 years. Without a single denial, our 19 chapter Brothers who attended the Minneapolis assemblage reported having a good time as the Convention offered novel, interesting experiences and programs. Delegates were Brothers Taylor, Moore, Roper, Corley, Brooks, Brackeen, and Kemp. Seven neophyte Brothers crossed the "burning sands" in May. The new members give promise of contributing and taking advantage of all that the Fraternity has to offer. This infusion of new blood had been heartening in view of the fact that the older membership of 86 Brothers will not become complacent and lose their verve and vitality. The inductees are Shirley Brown president of the D.C. Union of School Officers; Cyrus Honesty, teacher; Leroy Johnson, prrogram coordinator; Arnold Jones, clinic manager; Earl Jones, physicist; Rodman Turner, biochemist; and Arnim Lipscombe, a probation officer. Brother Lee Tyler, rushing chairman, guided the group superbly. The Alpha wives of Washington pledged over $1,500 to the Mu Lambda chapter drive for the Alpha Million Dollar Fund. The pledge was made at the Club's spring celebration at the Sheraton Hotel, April 29. The pledge, earmarked for the NAACP, was made by Edna McClellan, chairperson of the Social Action Committee. Accordingly, the formal presentation of the check will be made at the National Convention meeting in Washington in August. Mrs. Lucille Bridges is the capable president of the Alpha wives of Washington. In addition, the Alpha wives bolstered our Callis Scholarship Fund by giving $750, the same amount as contributed last year. The check was presented by Mrs. Velma Simpson, past president, at our first chapter meeting this year. 29

The Sph
Mu Lambda Brother Marion Barry won a close victory in the D.C. primary of the D.C. mayoral election contest on September 12. We predict another victory when he faces the Republican candidate in the general election of November 7. Our chapter is proud of this young champion who was initiated in 1955 at Beta Xi Chapter, Le Moyne College, Memphis. After an absence of nineteen actionfilled years since the Alpha convention last convened in Washington, the national assemblage will return to D.C. in August, 1979. Local area chairman, Brother Ruppert Picott, in his November progress report promised a package of interest-arousing convention details and events, which will be unfolded in January after a scheduled meeting with the national convention organizers. For the talkers and doers, the fun lovers, and the just plain joiners, we can hear the steady beat of the marching feet. On to Washington in 1979! And in the words of singer Marvin Gay, "Let's get it on." The Henry Callis Scholarship Fund, one of the chapter's most effective programs, has been chaired for three years by Brother John W. Haywood, Jr. The group has worked hard for years to raise funds for awarding annual scholarships to Howard University students. This year's recipient, Doris Wilson, a high ranking senior in the college of Allied Health, will receive $1,550. Other members of the board of directors are Brothers Thorpe, Stanton, Bridges, Sewell, Gaethers, and DeBruhl. The son of a late Morgan College dean, Haywood's long interest in scholarship began in his home and was heightened when he won an Alpha award as the highest ranking male in his senior class at Douglass High, Baltimore. Later, he was initiated at Lincoln University and was graduated with cum laude honors. Then he won a M.A. in Latin at Columbia and a diploma for classics study at the American Academy in Rome. After teaching in Baltimore, our good brother became a Latin instructor in D.C. high schools and established honor societies in two schools. Becoming an administrator in 1966, John directed the Work Scholarships and School Desegregation programs. No retired, Brother Haywood writes incisive letters to the Editor and magazine articles and works in church and civic organizations. His wife, Marie, is a retired reading specialist, and they have The Sphinx / Winter 1978
a daughter and two sons. The ideals of Alpha scholarship are in good hands and this is refreshing. J. Leon Langhorne
west Chester state college Greetings to all Alphadom from the Brothers of Zeta Psi Chapter of West Chester State College, West Chester, Pennsylvania. Zeta Psi Chapter was founded on December 19, 1969, by Brother Dr. Phillip Hoggard and Brother Joe Bell. Since that time, 56 Brothers have been initiated into our chapter. We presently have fifteen beautiful and hard-working court members. We also have an interest club called A.M.O.T. (Alpha Men Of Tomorrow) consisting of twenty college men. Our fraternal activities have included: • August 1976 — During R.I.O.T. Week we sponsored a program based on the theme of "Black Progress from a Male Perspective." • October 1976 — We gave a dance with Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, to raise money for the Ruby Jones Memorial Fund to benefit West Chester's Borough Community Center. The dance was very successful. Also in October, we presented Mrs. Coretta Scott King, wife of our own Reverend Brother Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., with an African Mask. • November 1976 — We assisted the members of the congregation of The Church of the Nazarene with its
renovation and expansion program. This entailed demolishing existing sidewalks and steps and relocating pews. • December 1976 — We donated our services to West Chester's Salvation Army in its Christmas fundraising campaign by manning Christmas kettles, singing Christmas carols, performing some of our fraternity marches, and encouraging other citizens to contribute to the cause. • November 1977 — We made a donation to The Tina Smith Fund. Tina Smith, an eleven-year old child, suffering from terminal cancer, was given only a few months to live. Our donation helped Tina to fulfill her greatest desire — to visit Disney World, Florida. Also in November, in cooperation with the Career Development Center of West Chester State College, we presented Mrs. Roberta Marshall, assistant personnel director of Scott Paper Company, in our Business Career Seminar on the topic "Big Business and the Minority Student." • April 1978 — We presented Brother Dick Gregory, a distinguished lecturer, with the highest award obtainable at Zeta Psi — the Seven Jewels Award. • July 1978 — We presented a symposium on "Black Progress From a Male and Female Perspective." Featured as honored guests were Reverend Dr. Audrey Bronson, Brother Dr. Phillip Hoggard, and Brother Warren Burton. • September 1978 — We came in first among fraternities and third over all in West Chester State College's first

charter member of Kappa Pi. The smoker was a great success. In October, the chapter sponsored a "Games Night" for the members of the college community at which a number of card and board games were played. This activity had a very large turnout and was enjoyed by all. Kappa Pi presented its block-disco, "Blockbuster '78," on October 28, and the event seemed to be very exciting due to the enthusiastic stepping of the Brothers of Kappa Pi. This year, the chapter is again organizing a tutorial program in conjunction with Lafayette High School of Williamsburg. The chapter's members, as well as other interested students, tutor local Lafayette students that are having scholastic trouble in their classes. Hopefully, the program will be successful now as it has been in past years. Members of Kappa Pi chapter are: Connie Swiner III, President; Roger Bailey, Vice President; Albert Herring, Secretary; Ronald H. Smoot, Treasurer; L. Shawn Keyes, Editor-tothe-Sphinx; Gary Ellis, Project Director; Edney Jones, Tutorial Director; and Carson Jones. A tradition of Kappa Pi that all of its members, both past and present, are especially proud of is the excellent participation of its members in other activities and organizations. Brother Swiner also serves as president of the Ebony Expressions. Brother Keyes is the president of the College's Black Student Organization, and is a member of the College's Admissions Policy committee. Brothers Gary Ellis and Edney Jones are members of the William and Mary track team. The coming year looks to be very prosperous for the chapter if this fall is any indication of the future. The Brothers of Kappa Pi will definitely attempt to hold high the great name of Alpha in the months to come.
metro Philadelphia Greetings, to the myriad of Brothers across this nation from the Brothers in Philadelphia, the foundation of Psi chapter. Greetings from our recent and distinguished president, Clarence Armbrister, and the brothers of "Mighty Psi." In catching up with what's happening, we will have to start a year ago. Psi chapter initiated seven pledges into the Sphinx Club and began their activities for the fall of 1977. During that time, the brothers engaged themselves in a The Sphinx / Winter 1978
few civic projects which included gathering commodities of food, most of which were canned goods, to give to needy families. The Brothers of Psi, with the help of their pledges, also helped the North Philadelphia Branch of the NAACP send out correspondence and aided in registering the community to vote. Later in the fall, Psi added to its membership James Stevenson, Ernest Robertson, Ricky Etheridge, David Toomer, Larry Cobb, Bernard Wright, and James Brown. After a very productive pledge period "Onika" - the name of their line, meaning "the chosen few" - became Alpha men on December 14, 1977. Congratulations men! Continuing to the New Year of 1978, the chapter continued to flourish under the direction of our immediate Past President, Michael Lewis. We often acted as a social outlet for the hundreds of college students by providing them with a series of "Psi" chapter parties. Later, under the chairmanship of Brother Raymond Wallace, Psi chapter hosted its "Black and Gold" weekend. It commenced on April 21 st with a party. Donations of canned goods were required as entry fees, which again went to provide for the needy. The following day included a basketball tournament, in which we proved to be victorious by defeating those "other" fraternities; and also another evening of festive song and dance. The weekend was capped by our spring smoker on Sunday. The chapter was proud to present to its guests Brother Rev. William Gray (who at the time was running for U.S. Congress). Brother Gray captured the imaginations and hearts of all present and ended our weekend on a very high note. The Brothers of Psi played host to a great number of brothers the following weekend at the Penn Relays. Our guests were entertained on April 29th at Mighty Psi's formal affair which included a live band. Presently, Psi chapter has a Sphinx Club of four members, our major emphasis this year is on "Increasing Academic Standing." The Brothers are still engaged in voter registration in the community. Well, that's about it for Psi. Farewell Brothers and may God be with each and every one of you.
new jersey Much of our future plans, dreams, and goals depend upon the present. Atlantic City is undergoing rapid changes. These changes are the result
of the advent of state legalized Casino gambling. As leaders in our city and Atlantic County-at-large, it has become imperative that all men of Alpha Theta Lambda enhance those values which are essential to our city, its people, and our fraternity. Alpha Theta Lambda members are constantly exemplifying this in order that factors affecting the future of Atlantic City as well as Atlantic County will cause little perplexity but will require reflective thinking. Brother Marven Hill is our chapter president. He is indeed a credit and an asset to our fraternity as well as an outstanding leader in the community. During his leadership, Alpha Theta Lambda has continued an elaborate scholarship plan, made advance plans for the Eastern Regional Convention and encouraged brothers to exercise their talents and training in the South Jersey area. More than four centuries ago an eminent scholar, Juan Luis Vives, in his "De Tradendis Discipline" (1531) said that, "No man is fit to be entrusted with the control of the present who is ignorant of the past and no people, who are indifferent to their past, need hope to make their future great." Men who have been entrusted with control of the present proved once again that integrity, perserverance, and leadership pay off for they crossed the "burning sands" in 1978 and became active members of Alpha Theta Lambda. Our new Brothers are Brothers Joseph Beaman, a graduate of Stockton State College, Richard Fauntleroy, a graduate of Cornell University, Dr. James H. Hicks, a graduate of Syracuse University, and Ellis Peopples, a graduate of Delaware State College. We salute all of our brothers who are engaged in numerous community endeavors. They have helped to make our fraternity greater because of their high ideals, hard work, and many outstanding contributions. Alpha Theta Lambda has twenty-two active brothers. Those brothers very active in the community are Dr. H. Donald Marshall, a retired local physician, and Wilbur Dooley, local high school job placement coordinator, Arwin Hamm, our chapter's financial secretary, Augustus Harmon, counselor, teacher, businessman, and local politician, Johnson Harmon, Principal of Oakcrest High School and respected leader, Dr. James Hicks, a neophyte 33

The Brothers of Theta would like to send a special "thank you" to our Alpha Brothers in Minneapolis for the splendid hospitality we received at the National Convention.

Brother McBride is currently the Northern Illinois Regional Director. The chapter is currently implementing new community programs and renovating old ones. We are now planning for our Thirty-Eighth Annual Christmas Ball, an event which last Christmas attracted more than 1600 people. The Brothers are anticipating an even larger gathering this year. In closing, we, the Brothers of Theta Chapter wish the men of Alpha "Worldwide Love, Peace, and Happiness in A Phi A."
u of missouri The Brothers of Epsllon Psi Chapter extend a hearty and fraternal greeting to all our Brothers in Alpha. Our chapter house was established in 1965, at the University of Missouri at Rolla, an engineering school located on the southeastern tip of Missouri. All the Brothers and pledges in the house are majoring in one of the various branches of engineering or a related field. Fortune smiled upon our faith this semester as twelve young men came in our doors to pledge and see the "Light of the World." An exemplar of our Sphinxmens' enthusiasm is that they published a general information leaflet and distributed it on campus to provide fact finding help for incoming Black students. On October 6 & 7, the University celebrated its Homecoming and you can rest assured that Alpha was there. As a matter of fact, those ubiquitous Alphas are everywhere! That leaves no wonder why guest appearances for Homecoming were made by Brothers Randy Allen (Assistant Midwestern Regional Vice-President) and Fred Johnson of Endicott, New York. Furthermore, awards were presented as Brother Henry Perkins was distinguished as being Epsilon Psi's most outstanding graduate Brother, the enchanting Miss Shirley Reed was honored as Homecoming Queen 1978, and Brothers Randy Donaldson and Virgil Work, Jr. were saluted as graduating seniors. Moreover, our annual graduate-undergraduate rap session was held with our industrious Alumni Brothers. Only few if any places in the country could have had a conglomeration of Black engineers in a more comfortable, immediate, and intimate setting. The Sphinx / Winter 1978
ohio On Friday, October 6, 1978, Delta Alpha Lambda Chapter sponsored it's Fourth Annual Father and Son Banquet. The guest speaker was the Honorable Benjamin L. Hooks, Executive Director of the N.A.A.C.P. Dr. Hooks challenged the young men in attendance to "Become thirsty for education and knowledge, for knowledge is power." He urged them to learn about Black History and the many great contributions and accomplishments that black Americans have made in this world. He commended the chapter for its efforts in motivating and encouraging young Black students to succeed and become good citizens. The chapter honored eight Cleveland area Black male students and their fathers. The students were honored for their achievements in academics, extracurricular school activities and community involvement. Each student received a trophy. Our National President, Brother James Williams was in attendance. Brother Williams challenged the young people and the adults to take a productive place in society and do those positive things to help each other to achieve excellence and good citizenry. Resolutions to the chapter for sponsoring the Father-Son Banquet came from Congressman Louis Stokes and the Cleveland City Council. The banquet was a huge success and it appears that we have eight future Alphas on the horizon! Banquet Chairman was Chapter Vice President, Brother Hilton O. Smith. Committee Members were Brothers: Rod Adams, Elmer Collins, Lem Roberson, Donald Fann, William Travis, Emmett Moore, Joe Blackwell, Sid Thompson, Len Hamilton and Thomas McGee.

Although the chapter was officially installed on December 22, 1977, the Brothers of Nu Rho felt the need to publicly celebrate this event with the LIT. community. Among the 150 guests present that evening for this affair were many LIT. officials and faculty. Also, in attendance were some noteworthy Brothers such as James B. Blanton, Executive Secretary and Michael J. Price, Editor of the Sphinx. Highlighting the banquet program was Mr. Cordell Reed, Asst. Vice-President of Commonwealth Edison Company, who delivered a timely speech on the role and responsibilities of the fraternity to LIT. and the neighboring community. Of equal importance and magnitude was the presentation of a $1000 check by the Nu Rho Chapter toward l.l.T.'s $100 million fund-raising campaign. Accepting in behalf of the Institute was Dr.

For Thanksgiving, the Brothers will be doing their annual Thanksgiving Benefit in which turkey baskets will be given to needy families in the community. Gamma Tau is proud to tell of the accomplishments of outstanding Brothers from its chapter. This year, Brother Castel Hibbert was awarded an Alpha Phi Alpha scholarship. We are proud that the scholarship went to a member of our beloved chapter. Also, Brother Kevin Tolliver won the presidency of the National Pan Hellenic Council, the major governing body for all Black Greeks on M.S.U.'s campus. It is also the only N.P.H.C. chapter on a predominately white campus. The Brothers of Gamma Tau feel that you have to believe in yourself before others can believe in you. Here at Michigan State University we believe in our cause for the community, for the betterment of Blacks on campus, and service to all mankind. Togetherness is the key to the success of Gamma Tau Chapter. We pride ourselves in uplifting and maintaining the fraternal bond through the love of each member. So, if you're ever in Michigan, come on up and visit the "Hood" at Michigan State University, 36

He has also been a recipient of awards to study in Argentina and Costa Rica. As a result of his interests in foreign countries Brother Pollard has been called upon, on various occasions, by the university to assist in translating for Spanish speaking individuals. His most recent activity occurred during a conference of all Latin American University Chancellors. We of Delta Eta Lambda recognize these and other activities of Brother Pollard as exemplifying those high characteristics found in all Alpha men.
Delta Eta Lambda, Alpha Phi Alpha's Chapter in Topeka, Kansas, is one which, through its members, exemplifies the outstanding characteristics of what Alphadom stands for.

The Sphinx / Winter 1978
u of alabama It is with elation that the brothers of Kappa Alpha chapter greet you. The year 1977-78 has been a milestone in our chapter's brief history here at the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. For this year saw the realization of a dream shared by our "mini-jewels" and each subsequent line. Since our chapter's birth December 2, 1974, our goal has been to obtain the honor of becoming the Fraternity's national undergraduate chapter of the year. What is there to our Fraternal precepts of Manly deeds, Scholarship and Love for all Mankind if they are never to become reality? The objective of each college and graduate chapter should be to epitomize these ideas at all times. During the 1977-78 academic year, Kappa Alpha made two lines, never losing sight of the fraternity's aims. Half of the young men were on academic scholarship, and all were active in campus and community activities. The chapter as a whole participated in many service projects. Kappa Alpha sponsored several dinners and parties for underprivileged children in the Tuscaloosa area. In addition we painted the Tuscaloosa Social Club, which is used by outpatients of Bryce Hospital (a state mental hospital). Realizing that you can never do enough, we responded to the Insight Center's (a halfway house for alcoholics) request for painters. The chapter expressed it's concern for youth by sponsoring and coaching a Boys Club basketball team to the league championship. On Saturdays we tutored local children who were having problems keeping up in school.
Sensing the need for greater Black awareness here at the Capestone, Kappa Alpha's own Richard Williams formulated a Black lecture series. This project was designed to bring local and national role models for Blacks to the university. On Feb. 4, 1978, Brother Francis Kornegay, Director of Detroit's National Urban League, was the first to speak in the series, courtesy of General Motor's Speakers Bureau. His speech centered on current problems facing Blacks in today's job market. Our second speaker was famed civil rights lawyer Arthur Shores, who was a leader of the movement in Alabama. We are looking forward to bigger and better things in our series. While participating in these worthy efforts, Kappa Alpha did not neglect Alpha's "Million Dollar" fund raising drive. We lead the Southern region in contributions toward our pledge with $600.00 of $1000.00. This year we plan to exceed our goal. The coming year will not see us sitting on our past accomplishments. Kappa Alpha will continue to uphold that great Alpha tradition of service to all. We believe that if we help others, our laurels will follow. With these principles in mind, Kappa Alpha hopes to see you in Washington, D.C. for the 1979 national convention.
north Carolina The Epsilon Rho Lambda Chapter (in a never ending quest of Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for all Mankind), began its 78-79 year in October with a full program of activities built around the theme of "Back to the Basics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the Year of the Black Child." Under the leadership of Brother Leslie Griffin, the
chapter is pointed toward a very progressive and exciting year. The October subtheme was "The Safety Environment of the Community for the Black Child." After devoting a meeting to a discussion of the subject, the chapter undertook a community project of teaching traffic safety to approximately 75 kindergarten age children. The effort was a tremendous success as the Brothers gave the children a Halloween party. The safety theme was emphasized through story telling and games. A costume contest was held with prizes given for the scariest, funniest and most original costume. Treats were given to all the children in attendance. The November and December subthemes are "The Diet of the Black Child," and "Black Child Abuse," respectively. Through the combined efforts of the Brothers to uphold the name of Alpha, community projects in support of the two themes, along with the chapter's Founders Day program and Christmas party are bound to be successful events.

u.n.c. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; charlotte Since its inception in February of 1977, Mu Tau Chapter ai the University of North Carolina at Charlotte has tried to live up to the standards and precepts set down by our founders. Being situated on a predominantly white campus, eight young men had a dream of starting a fraternity on campus with a definite purpose and a definite meaning. This fraternity was Alpha Phi Alpha. These men, aided by various brothers in the Charlotte Alumni chapter (Beta Nu Lambda) were able to found a chapter on February 5, 1977. These men were: Robert L. Becton, Larry T. Blue, Charles C. Cathey, Jr., Ronald Cromwell, Anthony Foust, Melvin Hayes, Prelo M. Hood, and Larry M. Taylor. Being Alpha men they quite naturally held various leadership positions in student organizations and in University life in general. Scholarship was a main thrust for this new chapter and all members of the charter line maintained averages of 3.5 or better.
The first initiates of Mu Tau chapter were Reginald V. Blackmon, Robert D. Flowers, Thurgood B. Flowers, James Forrest, and Theodore A. Stewart. These men, like the chapter founders, exemplified what being a true Alpha man meant. Attesting to this fact, they Kappa Alpha members sitting from left to right: Greg Kelly, Norman Taylor, JohnnyallBaker, were involved in campus and and Ronnie Ellis.

Blackmon has served on various committees for Afro American and African studies, has been a Resident Advisor for Moore Hall dormitory, and was nominated for induction into the University's prestigious "Society of 49." Brother Flowers has also been a Resident Advisor, a member of the North Carolina Student Legislature, Chief Justice for the Superior Court of the Student Government Association. He was also voted "Outstanding Senior of the Year" by the Black Student Union. Brother Thurgood Flowers was editor of the University's Black newspaper "Quiet Fire." Brother James Forrest was also a member of the N.C.S.L. and Vice President of the Inter-Fraternity Council. Brother Theodore A. Stewart has served on the Student Legislature of the Student Government Association, as Musician of the University's Black Gospel Choir, as well as giving guidance to the chapter as chapter President. On April 1, 1978, three men crossed the burning sands at Mu Tau. They were Henry D. Cuthberson, Michael A. Kemp and Angelo Robinson. These brothers also have "held the name high" by also serving in various leadership capacities. Brother Cuthbertson is our current representative on the InterFraternity Council, member of the Black Student Union as well as being Vice President for Mu Tau. Brother Michael Kemp has served on the Afro American and African Studies Advisory Committee, was elected Freshman Class President, has been Captain of the Orientation Counselors for the College of Humanities was recipient of the Outstanding Freshman award from the Black Student Union as well as being Secretary for Mu Tau chapter. Brother Angelo Robinson has served as Attorney General of the Dorm Courts of the University as well as Dean of Pledgees for Mu Tau chapter.
inter-Greek functions. The brothers of Mu Tau have been and always will be, responsive to the needs of Blacks on the University campus as well as in the community in our effort to follow the blazing path set by our Founders over seventy years ago. We would like to hear more about other chapters activities and we invite all brothers to attend our meetings. Mu Tau chapter meetings are held in Moore Hall conference room at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte each Sunday at 2:00 P.M.
fort valley state The Brothers of Gamma Zeta Chapter, the Fort Valley State College, are always following the light and never looking back. Although the chapter is small in number, we have some of the best men of quality in the state of Georgia. We have great plans for this new academic school year. We started off the year with a dynamic smoker, which was attended. The Sphinx Club has seven members: Henry Evans, Marvin Hall, Collie Graddick, Bruce Childs, Arthur Thomas, Dennis Coley and, Charles Plummer. These young men are aspiring very hard to become Alphamen. The brothers have chosen Miss Catherine Shiver, a senior sociology major from Valdosta, Georgia as Miss Alpha Phi Alpha of Gamma Zeta Chapter. Miss Vivian Smith, a sophomore from Marshallville, Georgia, and Miss Denise Beagles, a sophomore from Butler, Georgia, reign as Miss Black and Miss Gold, respectively. These young ladies will represent Gamma Zeta during the Homecoming activities and throughout the 1978-1979 school year.
We observed our Founders' Day on November 12, 1978. Other upcoming projects include a display in the Student Center, Observance of National Education Week, Gamma Zeta Second Annual Greek Dinner, Observance of Alpha Week, Dances, Tutorial Sections, Annual Black and Gold Ball, Emergency Fund Banquet, Two Community Projects and Two Campus Projects, Bulletin Boards, Car Washes and Participation in the Third Annual PanHellenic Council Charity Basketball Tournament. Although this is not all that Gamma Zeta will be involved in this school year, it is a small part of what the brothers will be involved in. Each year the brothers present some deserving Freshman student a scholarship. However, this year the brothers have changed the name from the Henry McGloughlin Memorial Scholarship to the Henry McGloughlin Memorial Emergency Fund. This was done so that more than one individual could benefit from Gamma Zeta dedication to the Fort Valley State College. Each quarter the brothers will add a certain amount toward the fund. The Director of Financial Aid along with the brothers will be administering the awards. So far this endeavor has proven itself very useful. Officers of Gamma Zeta Chapter are Brothers: George Ward, President; Henry Manning, Vice-President; Thomas Miller, Secretary and Corresponding Secretary; Trent Johnson, Treasurer and Dean of Pledgees; Dennis Turnipseed, Editor to the Sphinx; Bennie Neal, Dean of Probates. Other members include Brothers: Elmo Dunn, Gary Atwater and, Gerald Darling. Gamma Zeta is under the Graduate Supervision of Brothers Wright Duncan and Otha Kincy. As always we expect great
The chapter itself has been a functional and viable force on campus. The brothers have done community service by helping coordinate a "Youth Olympics" for underpriviledged children of the Charlotte area; contributed in cooperation with Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority in a campus wide Blood Drive; have started a food drive for a needy family at Thanksgiving; have made an installment of $100.00 to the Fraternity's Million Dollar Fund Drive; and have instituted a scholarship to be given to a deserving Freshman student. The chapter has been a leader in interGreek relations by coordinating various 40

tennessee Greetings from Tau Lambda Chapter, Nashville, Tennessee. As far as the columns of the Sphinx are concerned, Tau Lambda has been dormant and/or inert. The fact is, however, the past year has brought to the chapter numerical growth, an increase in attendance at meetings, enthusiasm for the local and general fraternity programs, larger participation in the social projects staged by the chapter, and continued interest in the achievement of membership by a sizeable number of men outside the fold. In addition to these developments, the men of the chapter showed little hesitation about embarking into a new frontier, namely, making a bolder approach to the problem of how best the chapter may aid students in quest of financial aid. The meetings of Tau Lambda this year continued to be stimulating, provocative, and interesting. There was hardly a topic presented that did not arouse interest of some of the members who had definite ideas about the subject. To be sure, the chapter president, Brother E. Harper Johnson, made an effort to conduct the proceedings so as to exclude irrelevant matters. This practice tended to encourage more serious and meaningful
debate. With respect to Chapter Activities, it ought to be noted that last year the brothers were fortunate in their choice of leadership. Officers of 1977, including E. Harper Johnson, President;James Wray, Secretary; Wilson Q. Welch Corresponding Secretary; and Cecil Ryan, Treasurer; had performed so satisfactorily that they were reelected unanimously to serve through 1978-79. This action gave seasoned leadership and continuity to programs or projects in being. The one most important project adopted by the chapter last year was the formation of the Tau Lambda Educational Foundation, a non-profit organization chartered by the State of Tennessee, and empowered to solicit and administer funds in the furtherance of the education of students who qualify for assistance. The foundation is governed by a Board of Trustees which is chosen for a specific term of years. The current members are: Calvin Atchison, Wilson Q. Welch, Julian Blackshear, Arthur Fox, John H. Tisdale, Charles D. Proctor, and Eddie T. Goins. The creation of the Foundation by Tau Lambda seems to symbolize a change of attitude regarding the question of how serious the chapter effort in behalf of education ought to be.In view of this action, it is reasonable to conclude that the chapter intends to afford substantial material assistance to students who are approved by the Board.
fisk university It is a privilege and honor to be able to expound unpon the unprecedented achievements of the Brothers of Alpha Chi Chapter, Fisk University.

Brother Lopez headed a student research team that conducted a research project which won a grant of $10,450 from the National Science Foundation. Only two student projects were funded at minority schools this year. We would also like to announce our first place finish for having the most attractive float in the year's homecoming parade.

Since its beginning, December 1 1 , 1 9 3 6 , Beta Sigma has distinguished itself across the nation as one of the greatest chapters in Alpha. During the spring semester, Beta Sigma awarded $ 2 0 0 . 0 0 to a neighborhood library and presented Easter baskets to a class of handicapped kids at Cohen Elementary School.

WEST California Zeta Beta Lambda is indeed proud of having been awarded the plaque for outstanding achievement in surpassing all other chapters in the number of life memberships. During the past recent years the chapter also has been successful in bringing across the "Burning Sands" neophyte Brothers of highest caliber who have accepted organizational responsibilities and are performing their duties in accordance with the Alpha standards. The chapter also feels the impact of the enthusiastic spirit of Alphadom injected into the organization as demonstrated by social activities which promotes stronger bonds of fraternalism. Case in point is the cocktail party in the home of Brother and Mrs. Tom Robinson, hosted by Brother Ted Hayes, Clif West, L. Washington, Gus Davis and James Patterson. Brother Clif West's Program Planning Committee has outlined quite an ambitious program calendar for 1979 which will involve not only Alpha Brothers but also their families. Another important feature of 1979 planning is the chapter budget prepared by Brother Art Johnson (treasurer) and Vernon Freeman (financial secretary). Brother Thomas Robinson, Dean of Pledgees, presented seven "hopefuls" to the chapter at our October meeting and now has them "on line". Zeta Beta Lambda Chapter, saluted our Alpha Brother Dr. James G. Bond, President of California State University in a testimonial dinner at the Red Lion Inn on June 9, 1978. Several testimonial statements were made in recognition of Dr. Bond's accomplishments as President of the University pursuant to his educational philosophy of "Academic Excellence."
Colorado lota Omicron Lambda Chapter of Colorado Springs, Colorado, continues to hold the name of ALPHA high. The previous year was extremely fruitful and the upcoming year promises to be even better. We manifested "Manly Deeds" The Sphinx / Winter 1978
by distributing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets to needy families in the local area. Additionally, we sponsored an Easter egg hunt for children in a local Head Start Center and a Senior Citizens' Day in May. In- the area of Scholarship, we stand with the best. At our annual Scholarship Awards Banquet in August, we awarded two scholarships in the amount of $300 each, and seven educational grants in the amount of $100 each. Total amount awarded in scholarships was $1,300. The scholarships were awarded to local high school graduating seniors based on financial need, grade point average, and recommendation of counselors. The keynote speaker for the banquet was our own Brother (Dr.) Myer Titus, Vice-President for Instruction at Pikes Peak Community College, Colorado Springs. Brother Titus gave a very eloquent presentation which was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone present at the banquet. One of the highlights of the year was the Alpha Phi Alpha Yuletide Ball held in December. This function was extremely successful â&#x20AC;&#x201D; we netted enough money to cover more than half of the scholarships awarded. This is one annual function that we sponsor that local residents look forward to with great anticipation and enthusiasm. During the month of June, Brothers and their families in the state of Colorado enjoyed an outstanding picnic hosted by Delta Psi Lambda in Denver. This has become an annual affair with the host responsibilities rotated among the alumni chapters in Colorado. We take pride in the fact that we initiated this brotherhood-enhancement function and hosted the first joint family picnic in Colorado Springs in 1977. We would also like to announce the newest members of lota Omicron Lambda who were initiated into Alphadom on August 25, 1978. They are Herbert Bodison, Jr., currently stationed at the USAF Academy, and J. Douglas Harris from Denver, Colorado. We have exemplified "Love for All Mankind" by sponsoring and supporting various local activities and organizations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for example, NAACP, Urban League, YMCA/YWCA, Black Adults for Our Youth, Junior Achievement, United Negro College Fund, and the Miss Black America of Colorado Springs Beauty Pageant. During the week of May 7-13, we held our first annual Alpha Phi Alpha Business Encouragement Week. The purpose of this endeavor was to encourage minority youth in junior and
senior high schools and college to register for and become involved in business subjects/projects. Several prominent business persons and educators within the state of Colorado participated in the week-long activities. However, the highlight of the week was a presentation by the Honorable George L. Brown, Lieutenant Governor of Colorado. The significance of this activity was further enhanced by the fact that the Governor of Colorado proclaimed May 7-13, 1978, Alpha Phi Alpha Business Encouragement Week. In summary, lota Omicron Lambda has pursued ardently the national thrust of Alpha Phi Alpha. It has impacted significantly the lives of its member Alphas as well as the community at large. We have adopted a dynamic program for the 1978-79 chapter year which will be directed by the following chapter officers: Earnest V. Martin, President; Zollie W. Harris, VicePresident; Mel Gillespie, Secretary; Charlie Hardaway, Treasurer; Myer Titus, Director of Education; Anthony Young, Dean of Pledgees; Melvin Hall, Historian; Leon Jenkins, Chaplain, and Jonal Lartigue, Editor to The Sphinx.

arizona state The Light of Alpha shines brightly on the campus of Arizona State University here in Tempe, Arizona. After "crossing" two lines in the spring and fall of 1975 under Delta Tau Lambda, the Phoenix area graduate chapter, we received our charter on April 26, 1976. Since that time, Mu Eta has moved steadily forward. Twentynine men of this university have " c r o s s e d the burning s a n d s " to become members of our dear Fraternity. The tradition continues this fall with six promising young men, recently inducted into the Sphinx club, striving to cross those same sands. The Fraternity is once again firmly implanted in the Grand Canyon state on the undergraduate level with active chapters here and at the University of Arizona in Tucson, as well as a charter line at Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. The eighteen Brothers of Mu Eta are
working hard to illuminate and enlighten the community with various social, cultural, and community projects. Alpha dances have been and will continue to be the absolute highlights of the social season. Plans for the remainder of the academic year include the sponsorship of local Black performing arts groups on campus, a tennis tournament, fundraising events for the Fraternity's Million Dollar Fund drive, as well as several outings with underprivileged youth and handicapped persons from the surrounding community. Mu Eta is not content to limit itself to only the immediate area. We are r e a c h i n g o u t w i t h t h e h a n d of Brotherhood to the newly reactivated Zeta Theta chapter and to the Brothers and aspiring Sphinxmen of Northern Arizona University. The future will bring correspondence and visitation with other chapters of the Western Region. Several Brothers of Mu Eta have recently distinguished themselves
academically or otherwise and deserve mention. Brother Gerald Richard is presently attending law school here at ASU; Brother Jerome Miller has been accepted into the graduate school of public administration (also at ASU); Brothers James Mitchell and Roye Oliver have both been nationally ranked collegiate wrestlers over the last three years; Brother Asa Herring, Jr., won the National Collegiate Karate Championship in 1975 and 1976 and continues to compete successfully.
