Editor's Itevicw Greetings . . . As there is no longer a nuptials column in The Sphinx (as in the days of yore), I am honored to take this opportunity and begin this column by extending my heartfelt personal and fraternal congratulations to our beloved Historian, Dr. CHARLES H. WESLEY. On November 30th, Dr. Wesley and Dr. Dorothy Porter of Washington, DC exchanged vows of holy matrimony. The new Mrs. Wesley is retired from a long and outstanding career as Librarian at Howard University and is a distinguished scholar in her own right. The private wedding ceremony was celebrated in Howard's Rankin Chapel, officiated by another distinguished Alpha man - Howard University Chaplain EVANS CRAWFORD. All of us in the Alpha Phi Alpha family wish Dr. and Mrs. Wesley many years of joy and happiness . . . COLLEGE BROTHERS: Are you a "Big Man On Campus?" If so (and we know you are) don't forget to complete your application in this issue for our 3rd Annual Distinguished Collegians feature. We know that College Brothers are "doing it" across the country and we would like to recognize your achievements in the Summer edition of The Sphinx. From the applications we've already received we noticed student government presidents, top ranking officers of national honor societies, etc. Let the world know that, even though you're just beginning, you are an "Alpha On The Move." The APPLICATION DEADLINE has been extended to MARCH 1,1980. Let us hear from YOU . . "BURN OUT: Fraternally Yours" is the title of our Viewpoint article in this edition. The article was written by Brother H. STEVEN L. NEWBOLD II, a psychologist and a member of Kappa Epsilon Lambda Chapter in Landover, MD. Thanks to Brother Newbold for sharing his penetrating analysis with the readers of The Sphinx. You should read it - it just might hit home! . . . Similarly, I would like to give a special note of thanks to Brother DWIGHT BURGESS, President of the Birmingham (AL) Urban League and a past president of Omicron Lambda Chapter in that city. The Brothers in Birmingham must have been pretty confident, because Brother Burgess' article on Alpha's newest big city mayor, Brother RICHARD ARRINGTON, was in this office as election returns were being announced! Thanks also to Brother LEMORIE (Tony) CARTER, the mayor's right hand, for his assistance in securing our cover photograph. The Sphinx is honored to feature this outstanding accomplishment of Brother Arrington - who campaigned with the full and open support of the Alphas in Birmingham. It's not called "Bomb-ingham" any more . . . Several years ago we featured an article entitled "The Continuing Struggle" - an account by Judge SIDNEY A. JONES, JR. of Alpha's involvement with the struggle for civil rights. In this issue we publish an unofficial sequel to that story - a look at three instances in which Alpha Phi Alpha members of today are carrying on the Legacy handed down from Alpha leaders such as THURGOOD MARSHALL, ARTHUR SHORES and MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR. Contributors to this story were Brothers ALVIN WILTZ (Lafayette, LA), WILLIAM DAY (Fresno, CA), FLOYD WHITE (Fresno, CA) and HANLEY J. NORMENT (Silver Spring, MD). These accounts should serve to remind us that the fight for equal opportunity is not yet won - and that we have a responsibility to lead the charge wherever possible. . . As usual, our Publications Committee Chairman, Brother Norment, contributed significantly to the preparation of this issue. In addition to the aforementioned, he also penned our FOCUS article on Brother ELWOOD DRIVER, Vice Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board. . . SPHINX DEADLINES: Believe it or not, there's only one more deadline for the submission of materials prior to the General Convention. The DEADLINE for the Summer Issue is MARCH 1, 1980 - and it will be strictly adhered to. Chapter Editors -your materials for Chapter News and Alphas On The Move must be in this office by that date. Any late materials will be held over for the Fall edition. The deadline for that issue is September 1, 1980 - so make it a priority item for the beginning of the 1980-81 fraternal year. . . Until next issue. . . MJP

I ' l l ©HBJmiMiL JPIIOTIIKIE g3P3g^SS.«„ First, we look forward to tremendous contributions from the Commission on College Brothers Affairs, chaired by Brother Norman Towels of Perris, California. This commission was formed in 1977 and charged with developing a complete program designed to meet the special needs of Alpha Men in college. These include long-standing issues affecting College Brothers, such as housing and college-alumni relations, as well as programs designed to increase the participation of College Brothers in all aspects of the Fraternity program. A major concern of the commission at this point is the adoption of Standing Orders and development of the Model Pledge Program. The ultimate objective of the commission is to affect Fraternity practices to the extent that the transition from active college to active alumni will be immediate, fraternal and lasting.

Brothers Respond to Challenge Prior to the 1 9 7 9 General Convention, we outlined to the Brotherhood a primary challenge facing Alpha Phi Alpha - the need for an expanded financial base for essential Fraternity operations. Topping our list of concerns was the need to expand the national headquarters staff to meet the needs of our growing organization and the call to build up the Fraternity's program budget. At the last convention, we presented specific proposals designed to remedy these and other shortcomings and thus strengthen our organization.

I would like to congratulate the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha for meeting this challenge through enactment of the Service Fee for all members. This was a difficult but absolutely necessary move in order to insure that Alpha is able to accomplish those future goals that you, the membership, expect and demand from your Fraternity. We must remain aware of the fact that no organization such as ours, be it the NAACP or the United Way, can hope to keep pace in this society without an adequate fiscal base of operations.

State of the Fraternity As reported at the last General Convention, I am proud to have had the opportunity to report great success on the major initiatives undertaken during our first three years in office. These include maintaining a balanced budget during that period; placing the General Convention on a sound financial basis; setting up the Life Membership Reserve Fund; and expanding and improving our financial reporting system.

These accomplishments have served to correct important problems in our organizational structure.

1 9 8 0 will mark the last year of my administration as your General President. As we enter this year, several major goals remain in order that the Brother selected as the 26th General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. will inherit an organization structurally sound, highly motivated and poised to join with that leader in moving Alpha forward in the 1980's.

2

Million Dollar Fund Drive At the forefront of our tasks is the completion of the Million Dollar Fund Drive - perhaps the greatest undertaking in the history of Alpha Phi Alpha.

We are witnessed continued progress toward this goal and I am confident that - through the hard work of Chapter Presidents and the individual members of the Fraternity - we will meet this worthy challenge.

National Headquarters It is important that we make a decision on a permanent headquarters for our General Office. Several alternatives are being studied and this matter is to receive the highest priority at the first meeting of the Board of Directors. All chapters interested in this matter will be instructed on the procedures for submitting proposals in the near future.

National Programs During 1 9 8 0 we plan to continue to give support to our major national programs - including the Business Encouragement Commission, the housing efforts of the Building Foundation, and the programs of the Education Foundation. In addition, we plan to implement two major projects which have been held in abeyance due to lack of operating funds.

The second major initiative slated for 1 9 8 0 is the Senior Alpha Service Program - designed to recognize and utilize the talents of the thousands of experienced Alpha Men who are willing to give the Fraternity their time and expertise. Further, it is important that we review our structure to insure that we adequately meet the needs of our older Brothers - at a time when these Brothers constitute a growing segment of our membership. Brother Elmer C. Collins, a stalwart of Alpha, has joined Brother Laurence T. Young, Sr. and Thurman Fletcher in spearheading this program. These Brothers are already off to a great start. At the last convention, Senior Alpha Service Awards were presented to Brothers Louis Russell, Harold Thomas and Sydney P. Brown and the new 50-Year Pin was unveiled.

You can expect to hear more from both these programs in 1 9 8 0 - as we strive to make active membership in Alpha Phi Alpha as attractive as it was when we "crossed the burning sands."

Fraternally,

/ /

JAMES R.WILLIAMS General President The Sphinx / Winter 1979

End of the 70's . . . What's Ahead for the 80's?

At the end of each year we look at what we have done and look ahead to what we want to do. Sometimes we pause and ask ourselves, "What can we do?" or, "How can we do it?" Well, it is no different here in the General Office.

We are very happy to look back at our "OPERATION ALPHA - '79" and see the many chapters that we were able to visit, the workshops we conducted, the programs we participated in and, most of all, the many Brothers that we were able to fellowship with throughout the year. Our visits reached from the East coast of Newark, NJ to the West coast of San Diego, CA; from the Northwest coast of Seattle, WA to the Southern tip of Miami, FL — and "OPERATION ALPHA - '80" will, we hope, be just as exciting.

We are also pleased with the cooperation of the chapters in returning the Chapter Directory forms; we have received over 85% of the forms back this year. We were able to communicate with more chapters this year than any other year — due to the adding on of the telephone numbers of the contact person and the chapter presidents to the form. We are looking for an even higher return next year.

All chapters, of course, are encouraged to plan and execute positive programs to increase membership.

While we are making some progress in the area of reclamation, Alpha has many other areas that need to be looked into and we find that there comes a period in the life of any organization when there is "Time for a Change."

Since this is true, we need to remind ourselves of the purposes of Alpha Phi Alpha in today's living. Our very structure needs to be changed in order to

keep pace with the current tide of affairs; our attitudes need changing.

True enough, people resent and rebel against change of any sort, but change we must if we are to survive.

Therefore, the Model Pledge Program should be embraced by every chapter in order to help eliminate the many problems that the Fraternity faces during the pledge seasons. Also, the alumni chapters should take advantage of the new dues structure for recent college graduates to increase their membership of young Brothers. This also allows the recent graduate to not only make a substantial savings but to remain active without interruption.

If we are to remain "No. 1 " in Greekdom, we must look to our past for guidance in planning our programs and activities for the future.

Brothers are encouraged to support and participate in Alpha's national and local programs and to give their input on all matters which they feel might be of benefit to the Fraternity. By sharing our ideas, not only will change be easier to accept but it will enable Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to remain "First of All" throughout the '80's.

Fraternally, SJ-TL*WHJ

there goes alpha man THERE GOES AN ALPHA MAN There goes a man of high impulse Of princely mien and grace There goes a man of humble faith A credit to his race There goes a man of conscience vast with will to reach his goal There goes a man of lordly rank Of heroes' stock and soul— There goes a man of noble caste Whom hardship cannot break There goes a man in merit clad Whom duty won't forsake I here goes a man in cultured verse Who holds a sportsman's creed There goes a man too vigilant To bow to lust or greed There goes a man whose life is spent in service not in scorn There goes a man whose majesty Shines like a May time

Brother ERNEST HOLLOW AY, who has twice served as acting president of Langston after chief executives were dismissed, was named in October as the new president of this predominately Black institution of higher learning.

He was unanimously endorsed by a presidential screening committee composed of representatives of the university, faculty, students and alumni.

Members of the Board of Regents of Oklahoma State Universities and Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges also voted unanimously for Dr. Holloway's appointment and expressed confidence that he would bring stability to this often troubled university.

Brother Holloway is a Langston graduate who completed his masters degree at Oklahoma State University and his doctorate in Higher Education Administration at the University of Oklahoma.

Langston University has had a number of problems in recent years, as reflected by the change in ad-

ministrators and legislative investigations into the school's internal affairs.

Dr. Holloway, who in prior years had declined to be considered for the presidency, stated that he became a candidate for the most recent vacancy because he felt the school desperately needed administrative stability. The overwhelming majority of knowledgeable observers are convinced that Dr. Holloway can accomplish this goal.

A native of Boley, Oklahoma, Brother Holloway is the father of three sons -Ernest, Jr. (who currently serves as President of Beta Kappa Chapter at Langston), Norman and Reginald. His wife, Peggy, is deceased.

Brother Holloway, himself a Beta Kappa initiate, is Life Member No. 1380 and is extremely active in fraternal affairs on the local, state, regional and national levels.

At Langston, Brother Holloway has held responsibilities as a Professor of Education, Registrar, Dean of Students and Vice President for Administration. He also chaired the task force committee for the self-study of Langston for the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools in 1977.

Now, after having served as interim president for a total of more than 16 months during the last two administrations, Dr. Ernest Holloway has taken his place as the 14th President of Langston University.

There goes a man who is a friend To love and duly truth There goes a man to help uplift The lives of wholesome youth There goes a man with industry and faith at his command.

There goes the best man in and out Tor he is an Alpha

Man.

Florida Memorial College, located in northwest Dade County, Florida, is beginning to make believers out of a host of non-believers, primarily due to one person, the school's President WILLIE C. ROBINSON. Two and one-half years ago, Florida Memorial College, like many other predominantly Black institutions was suffering from a decline in enrollment, a decrease in the federal dollar, apathetic alumni, and was also on the brink of bankruptcy with debts totalling nearly $7 million dollars. Florida Memorial had moved to the Miami area in 1968 from St. Augustine, Florida, with the promise of community participation and access to a wider Black population; but instead, the move to the urban area brought mounting debts and student unrest. In the two years immediately preceeding Brother Robinson's appointment, the college had two different chief administrators.

Brother Robinson was selected president of the 97 year-old Baptistrelated institution over a large field of qualified candidates. He came to Florida Memorial College after having served as Assistant to the President of Yale University and with outstanding academic credentials. He is a native of Dunn, North Carolina. Brother Robinson completed his undergraduate training at North Carolina A & T College and earned his Masters from the University of Bridgeport. He was awarded his Doctor of Education Degree at Columbia University. Since Brother Robinson's tenure began two

and one-half years ago, the College has received full accreditation by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. He has reduced the total debt of the institution from $7 million dollars to $3.4 million dollars, increased enrollment and alumni participation and stabilized the curriculum. The College, which celebrates its' 100th anniversary this year, has begun to bridge the gap that existed between the community and the institution.

More community oriented programs have been offered and Florida Memorial College has become actively involved with the Dade County School System.

Since his arrival in the Miami area, Dr. Robinson, in addition to his campus activities, has been involved with numerous community groups and serves on the Board of Directors for the James E. Scott Community Association, Rotary International (Hialeah-Miami Springs), Board of Governors for the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce, Board of Trustees of the United Way, and the Board of Directors for the United Negro College Fund.

Brother Robinson is married to the former Ojetta Dowdy, Director of the Hypertension Program of Broward County Health Department, and they are the parents of three sons, William Kevin, and Lewis. Brother Robinson is also an active member of Beta Beta Lambda Chapter and is past president of Eta Alpha Lambda, New Haven, Connecticut.

PLAN FOR CONVENTION AWARDS As the convening of the 74th Anniversary Convention approaches, many brothers and chapters are concerned about the type of awards to be given and how the recipients are chosen.

First of all, the four AWARDS that are given at every convention are: 1. Outstanding College Brother of the Year. fSfenson E. Broaddus Award) 2. Outstanding Alumni Brother of the Year.

THE TYPED/SIGNED FOLDER WILL BECOME THE PROPERTY OF THE FRATERNITY AND WILL NOT BE RETURNED TO THE BROTHER OR CHAPTER. There is no special format or form other than what we have already stated. The information to appear on Achievements and accomplishments should be from convention to convention — SEPTEMBER 1979 to JULY 1980 — unless there are on-going projects of chapters and brothers which should be examined to determine what extent past involvement is applicable to work done in the same area on a continuous basis.

Community activities designed to improve the quality of life for brothers or the general citizenry which are financed by the chapters or individual brothers must be authenticated by the presentation of documented proof, such as: cancelled checks, newspaper clippings, magazine articles, etc. Service projects to which brothers and chapters contribute their time and talent may be verified in the same manner — namely, the presentation of newspaper clippings, pictures, testimonial letters, etc. No materials should be mailed to the AWARDS COMMITTEE Chairman prior to the Convention. All materials in the possession of chapters and individual brothers must be brought to the Convention and presented to the Chairman of the Committee on Achievements and awards on the 1st day of the Convention.

Each factor (criteria) will be rated on a scale of 1 (minimum) to 10 (outstanding) by an 11 - member Awards (judging) Committee. Said committee will consist of two members from each region — 1 college brother and 1 alumni brother, appointed by the General President — who are not in a competing chapter nor are themselves in competition for any of the awards, and the Chairman who shall have no vote except in the case of a tie. The brother or chapter polling the most points will be declared the winner in their respective category . . . and announced at the Formal Banquet.

Space will be provided at the convention site for displays noted in the above four awards. Displays may be movies, scrapbooks, slides, or any other articles or items deemed by the chapter to be beneficial to its presentation. The Awards Committee will do all within its power to protect each exhibit — but it will not take on the responsibility for the safety of any of the items on display.

ARRINGTON,

BIRMINGHAM'S NEW MAYOR

by DWIGHT BURGESS

A new era was born in Birmingham, when the solid support of the city's minority Black electorate catupulted Brother Richard Arrington into the Mayor's office. The election brought both a great victory and a tremendous challenge - for Birmingham is a city fraught with the typical urban problems and still racially polarized. Yet, if the challenge is to be met - Arrington's the man!

Alpha has generated another FIRST. Birmingham, Alabama, the South Africa of the 1950's, has now changed its image and become one of the leading cities in America as it relates to city leadership. On October 30, 1979, it elected its first black mayor, with 53% of the vote cast for him. This election was not a black election, but a City of Birmingham election where the candidate, RICHARD ARRINGTON, JR., a full fledged, devoted Alpha, and an active member of Omicron Lambda Chapter of Birmingham, Alabama, received both black and white votes, and is the mayor of all the people of Birmingham.

Running against a field of seven candidates in the general election, Brother Arrington generated a substantial percentage of the votes cast. The return showed him with 45% of the total vote. This vote put him in the drivers seat for the runoff election and pitted him against James Parsons, A white att o r n e y / b u s i n e s s m a n , w h o m he defeated handily in the runoff election.

Brother Arrington's commitment to his community, his honest approach to problems, his concern for his fellowman, and his deep sense of humility have won for him the love, respect and trust of the people of Birmingham. These attributes will be the things that will help him make Birmingham a better city for all people as we look into the 1980's.

As we look at the many accomplishments of our Brother, we find that his record is an outstanding one, and one that Alphas all over the world can be proud of.

Brother Arrington is the oldest son of Richard and Ernestine Arrington.

He was born in Livingston, Alabama.

8

His family moved to Fairfield, Alabama when he was very young, and he received his public school education in the Fairfield Public Schools.

His higher education training is in the areas of Biology and Biochemistry.

He holds the A.B. Degree from Miles College; the Master's Degree from the University of Detroit; and the PhD Degree from the University of Oklahoma. He has done additional study at New Mexico Highland University; the State University of Iowa and Harvard University.

Brother Arrington served as Professor of Biology at Miles College and also taught at the University of Alabama in Birmingham. For four (4) years he served as Academic Dean at Miles College.

Brother Arrington's illustrious political career began in November 1971, when he was elected to the Birmingham City Council for a four year term. His dedicated work and positive political and civic contributions were responsible for his re-election to the B i r m i n g h a m C i t y C o u n c i l in November of 1975 for a second term.

Brother Arrington is an organizer.

He believes in planning his work, and working his plan. As a result of this inherent trait of his, he is able to be effectively involved.

Brother Arrington's love and concern for his fellowman is found in his services to humanity. Numerous Boards in the city and county are better because of his having served on them.

He serves on the executive boards of the Boy Scouts of America; The Salvation Army; The National Goodwill Industry; Positive Maturity and the Birmingham Urban League. Brother Arrington has served as chairman of

the Board of Positive Maturity, Alabama Goodwill Industry and currently serves as Chairman of the Board of the Birmingham Urban League.

Because of the positive leadership of Brother Arrington, the Birmingham Urban League has continued to make an impact in the Birmingham community.

The Citizens Coalition, a concerned citizens group that covers many facets of life in the community is chaired by Brother Arrington. His advice and guidance of this coalition has caused many political changes in the Birmingham community.

The local United Negro College Fund Campaign has been fortunate enough to have Brother Arrington serve on several occasions as chairman of the local fund drive and all drives were successful.

Brother Arrington serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for Alabama State University and he serves on both the county and state Executive Boards of the Democratic Party.

He has received many, many honors both academic and civic. These awards are too numerous to record.

Brother Arrington is a Deacon and Sunday School Superintendent at Crumbley Primitive Baptist Church; married to the former Rachel Reynolds of Montgomery, Alabama and the father of two daughters and five sons.

This depicts our Brother. Booker T. Washington said, "Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, but by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed." Richard Arrington has "overcome" and accepted the challenge of greater service to his community.

XEROX An affirmative action employer (male/female)

Jewel Henry Arthur Callis identified two motives which inspired the founding of Alpha Phi Alpha. The aims of our founders were, he stated, "to stimulate our young people to stay in school and to unite vur (Black) college men in the fignt tor full citizenship."

The recognitor, o; ihese aims was translated into programs such as "Go To High School - Co To College" and "Education for Citizenship," with the famous slogan "A Voteless People Is A Hopeless People;" as well as the actions of the Fraternity and members such as King ,?nd Marshall; A. P. Tureaud and Lyman Johnson, in the forefront of the struggle to secure civil rights for minority citizens. Through the leadership of this organization and the sacrifices of countless concerned citizens, the wall of statutory discrimination was brought down across the nation. But the task is not yet complete.

Compliance with legislative intent has become an elusive objective. Further it appears that the "Movement," as the 60's coalition of civil rights activists was dubbed, has strained in the face of the staggering variety and sublety of the new challenges.

Perhaps the Founders of Alpha Phi Alpha foresaw this development, thus the need to unite the "Brotherhood" - a network of trained men of the race imbued with the spirit of humanism and determined to make equality a workable creed, not merely a visionary idea. The philosopher-founder Callis renewed the clarion call some twenty years ago in this manner - "Alpha Phi Alpha was born in the shadows of slavery, on the lab of disenfranchisement. We proposed to foster scholarship and excellence among students; to bring leadership and vision to the social problems of our communities and the nation; to fight, with courage and self-sacrifice, every bar to the democratic way of life. So long as we swerve not from these purposes, Alpha Phi Alpha lives."

Tkol tautitfjw goes OH eueti teioy Brother ALVIN WILTZ, a member of Eta Gamma Lambda Chapter in Lafayette, Louisiana filed a complaint of racial discrimination with the Department of Health, Education and Welfare's Office of Civil Rights when he was passed over in the appointment of principal at a formerly all-white school in St. Martin Parish. Brother Wiltz, who had served as assistant principal at the school for three years, had applied for the position with the support of the faculty and the recommendation of the retiring principal.

Considering these factors, Brother Wiltz asserted that his education and work experience made him more qualified for the job then the white appointee.

The investigation of the complaint resulted in the ruling that the St. Martin

Parish School Board had indeed denied Brother Wiltz a promotion because of his race. The Board was ordered to give assurance that he will be elevated to the next available principalship for which he is qualified, with back pay from April 18, 1 9 7 8 .

The most important aspect of this case, however, is that federal officials were able to uncover an unpleasant by-product of desegregation process -one long evident to Black educators in the South. HEW concluded that "the district has denied personnel equal access to all principalship positions by establishing a practice or unwritten policy that only white principals would be assigned to the formerly white segregated school campuses and continued on page 7 2

A suit by Alvin Wiltz led to a ruling that a "Jim Crow" promotions systems was still perpetuated in an integrated Louisiana school system.

Is Alpha Phi Alpha alive today? Do its sons continue to answer the call to leadership and come forth to do battle with the forces of discrimination and prejudice? This article will look at three cases which would suggest an affirmative response to these questions.

These are examples of Alpha's continue labor for full citizenship - one an alumni chapter; two individuals; all reflecting the continuing impact of the principles articulated at Cornell in 1906 on the institutions and communities of today. * * * * The Sphinx / Winter 1979

Black principals would be assigned to the formerly Black segregated campuses." Additional rulings of this type could go a long way toward alleviating the dilemma of most Black educators, many of whom celebrated the demise of the dual system only to find themselves systematically demoted in the subsequent unified system.

In the case of St. Martin Parish, the Office of Civil Rights forwarded to the Justice Department a plan of corrective actions which included at a minimum: the development of nonracial objective criteria for personnel changes; the offer to reinstate each principal who was displaced, demoted and terminated as a result of the desegration process to the next available position, with back pay; and the development of an affirmative action plan that will restore the percentage of Black principals to the level which existed prior to the district's initial desegregation process. Full implementation of this plan will be a continuing process, and Alpha men like Brother Alvin Wiltz will be working to see that justice is done for all in the community. The struggle continues . . .

When a group of angry parents in Montgomery County, Maryland put pressure on the county's school superintendent to hire more high-level Black administrators, many of the protestors were Alphas. And, when high school students in the county got together earlier this year to discuss the problems of Black students in the school system, the panel's sponsors were also Alphas. In fact, for the past nine years, many of the activities designed to uplift the Black community of Montgomery County can be traced back to the lota Upsilon Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Like most large Alpha chapters, the IUL membership includes Brothers with a wide range of occupations and political philosophies. However, rather than limiting involvement in community issues for fear of jeopardizing a member's security or offending someone's views, the chapter has drawn from this immense talent pool and forged a unified foundation from which to continue the struggle against racial discrimination. Despite the relative success of the chapter members, Chapter President Kenneth Clark states, "The race problem has been so overwhelming in this country, few

Blacks have been able to escape it.

Any organization of Blacks has to deal with this problem."

Alphas in Montgomery County " d e a l " through a comprehensive chapter program designed to focus attention in the community on areas of special concern to Blacks, highlight the achievements of minorities in the area and to support other Black organizations in the area such as the NAACP. True to the Fraternity's commitment to "foster scholarship and excellence," the schools are a focal point of chapter activity. One of lUL's most successful programs is its annual awards program for minority county school students.

Designed to insure that appropriate recognition is given to those achievers who are too often overlooked in the majority system, this event serves to inspire Black students and their parents. This year's awards - appropriately given in honor of members W E B . DuBois (Academics), Duke Ellington (Arfsj, Jesse Owens (Athletics), Paul Robeson (Versatility) and Martin Luther King, Jr. (Citizenship) - were given to sixty-one students. The chapter has expressed the hope that efforts of this type will serve to support continued on next page The Sphinx / Winter 1979

the performance of Blacks in the system, as some members of the school board were reminded when they demonstratetd their benign neglect of minority students by not attending this event. In a local newspaper, IUL Education Chairman Roscoe Nix (himself a former member of the school board) blasted the noshows for their "continued absence from all Black-sponsored events."

Queried Brother Nix, "Are the members of the school board's majority of four interested in the academic achievement of all students - except those who are Black?"

Another example of the chapter's activism was its leadership role in the debate on HR-18, a course on human relations and Black culture once mandatory for all teachers. A move by the board to eliminate the requirement for this course led to an intense effort by community groups including IUL and the NAACP to retain HR-18. Alphas provided testimony (including that of Black students who spoke of their frustrations in the system); contributed money; organized mass meetings; purchased paraphernalia; and garnered the service of an expert, Alphaman and Howard University professor Samuel Woodard, who also testified. Debate on this issue was hot and heavy. At one point a local bank official (white) congratulated the school board president for resisting the efforts of the HR-18 proponents, insinuating that the majority community was being threatened by the street tactics of Hooligans." This letter, written on bank stationery, was brought to the attention of the chapter and an angry IUL member fired off a letter of protest to the bank, reminding the institution of the Fraternity's history, the qualifications of its members - and the chapter's right and determination to participate in community affairs.

Following negotiations with IUL and the NAACP, the bank published in all area papers and open letter of apology to The Sphinx / Winter 1979

the concerned Black citizens. In the end, the school board's aforementioned "majority of four" succeeded in removing the requirement for HR-18. . . but not before the citizens of Montgomery County, Maryland were made even more aware of the existence of Alpha Phi Alpha as a driving force in the community. And the struggle continues. . .

For twenty-five years Brother FLOYD WHITE was an employee of the Fire Department of the City of Fresno, California. For fifteen years Brother White held the rank of inspector in that department. And, for most of the last four years he was embroiled in a legal battle with the same department. That battle ended this year when Brother White was awarded a settlement amounting to $250,000 as a

result of his discrimination suit filed against the City of Fresno.

A graduate of the California State University at Fresno, Brother White joined the fire department in 1954, along with his brother. Naturally, Floyd aspired to move up the ranks in the department - and that appeared to be reasonable goal for a man who has taught on both the elementary and college levels. So Brother White continuously took and passed the written examination for promotion. Yet he always "failed" the oral examination -while young white firemen with only high school education continued to advance, leaving Floyd White in the same position for fifteen years.

Brother White's complaint, charging the city with discrimination and failure to comply with its affirmative action program, led to an investigation by the Federal Office of Revenue Sharing.

Among the items uncovered was the fact that no additional Blacks had entered the department until nearly twenty years after the 1954 hiring of the White brothers. Last summer, after over forty-two months of litigation, revenue-sharing officials notified the city of "possible" violations and demanded that the city respond or face suspension of funds. In an executive session, the Fresno City Council approved the settlement with Brother White, which included a promotion retroactive to the time of application; attorney's fees; an increase in retirement benefits; and, another promotion immediately prior to his retirement in August which boosts even further his retirement benefits.

The History of Alpha Phi Alpha is dedicated "To the Youths Who March Upward and Onward toward the Light." That sentiment reflects, too, the attitude of Brother Floyd White as he savored his victory against institutional racism. "This consent decree," he explained, "protects other young Blacks from going through undue harassment as I had to suffer." . . .

In the Washington, D.C. area, two Alpha Wives groups have made large contributions to the Million Dollar Fund Drive. First, the wives of Iota Upsilon Lambda Chapter in Silver Spring, Maryland donated $2,000 of the proceeds from their presentation of the 1979 Ebony Fashion Fair to the Million Dollar campaign. Another $2,000 from this event, chaired by Mrs. Christa Norment, was

presented directly to the United Negro College Fund. Recently, the District of Columbia Alpha Wives, under the leadership of Ms. Mauree Ayton, presented Mu Lambda Chapter a check for $1,540 for use toward its campaign goal.

ALPHA & THE URBAN The National Urban League was created out of the reform movement that swept the nation at the beginning of this Century.

Those were the years when the Jim Crow system of rigid segregation was becoming entrenched throughout the South;years when to be Black meant virtual peonage as a sharecropper in the rural South; years when the first trickle of Blacks left for the brighter promise of northern cities in a migration that was to grow to flood proportions.

Those newcomers to northern cities faced racial d i s c r i m i n a t i o n as unmoveable as that they had left. They faced exclusion from jobs, housing and education, and exploitation at every turn. They were inexperienced in the ways of urban life and trapped by racism and poverty, they

existed as outcasts.

Out of this complex of problems the Committee on Urban Conditions Among Negroes was established in 1910 in New York City to serve the needs of Black migrants. A year later the Committee merged with the Committee for the Improvement of Industrial Conditions Among Negroes in New York (founded in 1906) and the National League for the Protection of Colored Women (also founded in 1906) to form the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. The name was later shortened to the now familiar—National Urban League.

The League started its life with an interracial board—a policy that has been consistently maintained—under the direction of one of the legendary rtmttnuerl tin />um' 16

eluuood driver Within minutes after the nation's worst air disaster occurred late last spring which took a toll of 275 lives, an Alpha man was rushing toward Chicago to lead the investigation of the causes.

As the chief investigator, Brother ELWOOD T. DRIVER (affectionately called " W o o d y " ) , was a " h o t " newsmaker for nearly two weeks following the crash of the DC-10 jumbo jet after take-off from O'Hare Field.

The New York Times was among the print media which front-paged interviews with him. He was featured on all television networks. Countless millions saw his picture in print and on the TV screen, especially as he held up the snapped 3-inch bolt from the ill-fated plane believed to have been connected to the crash of American Airlines' flight 1 9 1 .

As a Presidential appointee, Brother Driver serves as Vice Chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the five-member federal body which, with its staff, investigates the causes of major accidents and recommends preventive actions to operating agencies.

Brother "Woody," 5 6 , has had three distinguished careers. As a professional Air Force officer-pilot, he earned both a Distinguished Flying Cross and an Air Medal with clusters for his performance during World War II. His wings as a fighter pilot were earned with the famed "Tuskegee Airmen."

The 1 4 years he spent as a Command Pilot gave him experience in safety fields relating to motor vehicles, aircrafts, missiles, nuclear-energy, and ordnance.

Following his military retirement with the rank of Major, the Trenton, N.J., native became a safety systems engineering manager with a North American Aviation Company in Los

The Sphinx , Winter 1979

Angeles. In this position, he was responsible for the system safety engineering related to the Minuteman Intercontinental Ballistic Missile.

His federal civilian service began in 1 9 6 7 , when he joined the newly created Department of Transportation (DOT). He served in several high posts in DOT'S National Highway Traffic Safety Administration In one, he supervised efforts to assist automobile manufacturers in building more crashworthy vehicles. In another, he directed the process of developing regulations to improve overall vehicular safety and to set fuel-economy standards for auto makers.

Although his accomplished, professional career is both varied and long, his tenure in Alpha Phi Alpha is quite limited thus far. He fulfilled a long dream early in the spring of 1 9 7 9 , when he saw the "Light of the World" through Zeta Upsilon Lambda Chapter, Reston, Virginia.

Academically, Brother Driver holds two degrees, a B.S. in mathematics and science from New Jersey State College and an M.S. in safety engineering from New York University.

He is married to the former Shirley Martin of Dallas, Texas, who lives with him in their N o r t h e r n Virginia residence.

figures among Black social, workers, Brother George Edmund Haynes. With one co-worker and an annual budget of $8,500, he set to work to ameliorate the terrible social and economic conditions afflicting Black people.

The fledgling organization made a limited impact through expert testimony before investigating groups, counselling Black emigrants to the city, providing training for Black social workers, a n d w o r k i n g to bring educational and employment opportunities to Blacks . After five years, the new League had affiliates in nine cities, 15 employees at headquarters, and a budget of almost $45,000. The affiliates were started because of the presence in other cities of the same type of problems that afflicted Blacks in New York City.

In 1918, Dr. Haynes was succeeded by Jewel Eugene Kinckle Jones who was to head the agency until his retirement in 1941. Jones' tenure was the longest in the history of the League.

Research has been a major League thrust since 1920 when Dr. C h a r l e s S. Johnson, a classic figure in Black Scholarship, organized the NUL's Research Department. Brother Johnson produced numerous landmark studies on the Black condition and also edited the magazine, Opportunity: Journal of Negro Life, which became a mainstay of what was known as " t h e Negro Renaissance," publishing almost every leading Black poet and writer of the day.

Throughout the NUL's history, a major goal has been to broaden economic opportunities and throughout the 20's and 30's, the NUL c o n c e n t r a t e d on breaking barriers to Black employment. Persuasion was buttressed by boycotts continued on pe&t 24

"A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste," "Brown decision of May 17, 1954," "An advocate for the Minorities and the Poor." Do these slogans sound familiar to you, my dear Brothers? For those of you who can relate, hold the thought as I explain to those who cannot. The preceding quotations are the words of the United Negro College Fund, the most famous case initiated by the NAACP, and the goals outlined for the National Urban League.

College Brothers, I appeal to you for full support and participation in sending your contributions toward the Million Dollar Fund Campaign. As many of our parents aided the three groups who have paved the way for some of us to get some of the opportunities we have, to attend the various colleges and univesilies throughout this country, we must now turn to aid and assist those who made it all possible.

Let us not be selfish and feel that "we have ours" and have gotten over the most crucial times to be faced by Black Americans. Because for those of you who don't remember, the downtrodden 60's and the struggles which we had to undertake to get the ten years of relief (the 70's), 1980 will find you the college student of today looking for assistance from the groups we have pledg-

BURN O U T : ^ > The concept of "burn-out" has come to be understood as factors and situations that tend to overwhelm the individual with responsibilities and commitments to the extent that the individual experiences psychological, social and often physiological difficulty. As an observable phenomena, "burn-out" is most prevalent in the individual who envisions himself "a company man." The phenomena has psychological and behavioral components. You need only look around you as you read this article in your chapter meeting to find at least one of every five members who, if not already, is well on his way to the "burn-out" syndrome. If you cannot find him, here is a brief description of how he looks.

He is the member who is serving on at least three or four committees. He is probably being groomed for if not already holding an elected or appointed position. He says "yes" whenever asked for his participation or support of other committees and functions. The administration recognizes him as the Brother you can count on if all others say "no." He is likewise volunteered for assignments, even if he is not present at one of the meetings and he very seldom misses meetings. Between regular meetings, committee meetings and associated activities, he is the Brother who may; be out of his home almost five days in a seven-day week.

Yes, he is a member of your chapter. And, if already burnt-out, he is the member that you usually hear people say, "Well, Brother "X" has already participated on this or that activity." Ironically, the elements that lead to "burn-out" are the very same elements that make this man "a good Brother." The question then becomes, where is the line drawn between being a good Brother and burningout. The responsibility for this matter is both an administrative issue as well as the concern of the involved individual. As an administrative issue it is often difficult to avoid subjecting a Brother to the factors that produce burn-out. This is especially observable in chapters where the membership is small and the responsibilities are large.

Chapters have a single standard by which they are viewed. That standard is excellence, in participation and productivity. I submit that excellence is relative -specifically, relative to what the membership can produce given its size in relation to a larger group. Administratively, work efforts and involvements should always be so delegated that significant tasks are evenly distributed throughout the chapter rather than vested in and expected of but a few. The individual being subjected to the "burn-out" syndrome also has responsibility in the matter. You see there is inequity in rank order.

There is a double standard amongst Brothers. On one hand the membership may rejoice that Brother "Y" attends two regular meetings a year and simply carries his card the remainder of the year. While, Brother "XX" is frowned upon if he misses any one of a dozen activities. The individual member who is involved in this "burnout" process needs to (for the sake of survival) withdraw psychologically and socially. This withdrawal will afford the opportunity for an introspective review of self and lend itself to a more effective management of personal energy etc..

You will note that in this writing, I have not eluded to or discussed individual personal situations outside of fraternal concerns.

Although, the individuals personal life situation may also impact upon The Sphinx / Winter 1979

his fraternal functioning and/or dysfunctioning. The personal life situation may be a source of strength in the remediation of fraternal "burn-out." This is an obvious factor. However, it is not so obvious that the interlard of the personal and fraternal lives may very well be the essence that culminates "burn-out." Again, the elements in a man's life, his personal strivings, involvements, and contributions are all elements that help to identify the man as worthy of becoming an "Alphaman." These personal involvements and contributions also require, if not demand, portions of the individual's energy and lead to (if not properly managed) "burn-out." Whenever we seek to find the "burn-out" syndrome we can certainly look toward the paradoxical situations that produce it.

The identification, isolation and remediation of the "burn-out" syndrome are not easy processes. Identification is difficult for us because we as fraternity Brothers tend to look at the "frat" before the individual. Note that without a system of individuals the group will cease to exist. It is also difficult because the job of running the fraternity has to be done by someone. And, lastly identification of "burnout" is most difficult because the victim of the "burn-out" syndrome is usually a good, hardworking fraternity Brother who will never say die. Isolation of the syndrome is likewise complicated because it is heavily guised in paradoxical situations. That is to say that many of the elements that create the good Brother are also responsible for his eventual destruction through "burn-out." Finally, the elements for the remediation of the "burn-out" syndrome are most elusive. "Burnout" can be discussed relevant to the general population of the fraternity or for that matter any organization, but the solution to it is recognizably an individual concern. Therefore, the proposed elements for dealing with "burn-out" may not be of importance individualistically, but should certainly be considered generally.

Remediation elements should include.

Administrative: (1.) Record keeping and personnel management to assure an adequate distribution of tasks and responsibilities. (2.)

Volunteerism over appointments with careful monitoring of those who frequently volunteer versus those who never volunteer (3 ) Scheduled shifts in positions relevant to amount of energy required for the task i.e., Do not ask one Brother on several occasions to be responsible for major tasks while others are almost never responsible for anything. You will be surprised to find out just how many good workers are available that simply need a little encouragement (4.) Establish a committee or group to monitor member involvement.

This should be a function of the Reclamation Committee. (5.)

Periodically assess and reassess your function and functioning Individual: (1.) Introspective analysis. This does not have to be a professional service. Simply sit down and prioritize your life and it's various missions. (2.) Honestly say YES to assignments when you can and NO when you cannot. (3.) Do not over-extend yourself. Set limits for your behavior and do not break them. The beginning of truth is, "to be true unto oneself." (4.) Be objective and realize that you love the fraternity; let it also love you. (5.) Periodically assess and reassess your functioning.

"Burn-out" at one time or another can reach us all. It is a group and individual responsibility to delay if not deter the onset of the "burnout" syndrome. And, Brothers remember, the House of Alpha is only as strong as its bricks.

IAPTERS

OF YEAR

What does it mean to have a chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha on campus or in the community?

It should mean that an educational institution can count among its students a group of young men dedicated to scholastic excellence - and committed to work for the betterment of the entire university family. It should mean that a community can look to this group for leadership - and action - in combating social problems and improving the standard of life for all citizens - especially the disadvantaged.

Eta Tau Lambda and Epsilon Beta chapters certainly meet these standards - to the degree that they were named the "Chapters of the Year" for 1979.

alpha is "it" in akron Eta Tau Lambda Chapter in Akron, Ohio is generally known to most Brothers for two facts. First, it is the home of Alpha's current General President, Brother James R. Williams; and, secondly, its Channelwood Village complex is perhaps the premiere example of Alpha Phi Alpha's housing effort. Yet, proud as they are of these facts, the members of Eta Tau Lambda still felt that too little was known about the multiplicity of continuing programs sponsored by the chapter in the Akron community, which form the basis for the individual involvement of ETL's varied and talented membership. For that reason, the Eta Tau Lambda delegation came to the Washington convention determined more Brothers know what they were doing and to capture the title of "Outstanding Alumni Chapter of the Year." They did both because, as they would say, the facts "spoke for themselves."

There can be no doubt that Eta Tau Lambda Chapter is an established and influential factor in the Akron area.

Local problems such as employment, race and police relations, education, housing and governmental programs are prime candidates for the active involvement of the men of ETL. Annually, approximately $ 4 0 0 , 0 0 0 in funding associated with chapter programs is spent - and this figure is exclusive of federal funds related to the chapter's housing projects.

One example of the chapter's ag18

gressive work was the involvement of a committee of four Brothers who challenged the Board of Education and secured a new middle school for the area near Channelwood Village - the first school built in the inner city in more than 50 years. Not only were these Brothers successful in getting the school built on this site, they were also instrumental in determining the curriculum of the new school. In order to maintain an impact on the school's program, the original committee was revitalized to work with school officials and the principal, who was recently inducted into the chapter's pledge club.

When, in June of this year, a sixteen year-old Black youth was killed by members of the Akron Police, Eta Tau Lambda was prepared to act. Through the Police/Community Dialog Program, initiated in 1974 by the chapter and the Akron YMCA with the assistance of the police department, the chapter moved quickly to investigate the act, communicate with community residents and provide recommendations in this regard. Funding for this program, from the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and HUD, totals $ 4 0 , 0 0 0 annually.

One of the more active arms of Eta Tau Lambda is the Alpha Library Committee, Inc. This group grew out of a special committee formed by the chapter in 1971 in response to a request for assistance from an inner-city librarian - who reported that readership

and use of her facility were on a steady decline, especially among minority youth. The special committee was soon incorporated as a non-profit, taxexempt entity for full service purposes, funded by the chapter and outside sources.

The Library Committee quickly launched a reading motivation program entitled Project Read.

The Sphinx / Winter 1979

EAST Pennsylvania Greetings, Brothers in Alpha, from Alpha Omicron Lambda in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. On September 9, 1979 the chapter installed its new officers at an installation service held at Bethesda United Presbyterian Church. Brother, Reverend LeRoy Patrick, pastor of the church, installed the officers. Brother Kevin E. Cooper was Master of Ceremonies.

Highlights from the General Convention in Washington, D.C. were given by speakers, Brother Sylvester Bullock and Harry D. Thornton. Brother William H. Walker, past General Executive Secretary, spoke on Reclamation and the need to initiate solid new Brothers into the Chapter.

Outen, Jr., President; Alfred Richardson, Vice President; Laurence Cosby, Sr., Treasurer; Albert Pannell, Secretary; Sylvester Bullock, Assistant Secretary; John Gobhel, Chaplain; William H. Walker, Editor-to-Sphinx; and William Dorsey, Sergeant of Arms.

Alpha Brothers, wives and sweethearts enjoyed a reception following the installation service.

new york The newly elected officers of Gamma lota Lambda Chapter for Brooklyn and Long Island, NY are prepared to accept the challenge of working for

medical, social, and economic uplift of the Black masses since they have not forgotten from whence they came. The alarming increase in cancer, hypertension and other medical problems is of special concern to the men of Alpha because a large number of the Fraternity are members of the medical profession.

Connecticut For the past three years Beta Sigma Lambda Chapter has been involved in an Alpha Outreach Project with a young teenager. Jesse Henderson, then a student at the Simpson-Waverly School, was selected by the Guidance Counselor, Mrs. Loretta Wells, as a young man who could benefit from close contact with successful Black males.

On Saturday, April 3, 1976, at a fraternity meeting held at the home of Brother Edward Hall in Bloomfield, Connecticut, Jesse, at age ten, was officially presented to the chapter and "adopted." During the past three years, the Chairman of the Educational Activities Committee has endeavored to have Jesse involved with a member of the chapter at least once per month during the school year. As a result, Jesse has spent weekends with Brothers and their families, has been taken to athletic events, visited the University of Connecticut Health Center, attended symphony concerts and the ballet.

Jesse's progress in school is monitored through contact with his Guidance Counselor. The chapter makes a small cash contribution to his back-to-school expenses in the fall and gives him another small cash present

Gamma lota Lambda Brothers are, from left to right: John M. Williams; Edward Hightower; Martin Arrington; Jacob C. Tingman; Dr. William Rivers; Major John P. Rice, Jr., President of the Brooklyn-Long Island Chapter; Dr. Hobart Jarrett, President; Dr. Milton Flemings; Herman Washington; Dr. Hiram Bell; Jesse Zeigler; Albert Edwards, and Dr. Joseph Thomas.

at Christmas. It is anticipated that the chapter will maintain contact with Jesse and assist him in obtaining an education.

On July 2 1 , 1 9 7 9 , the chapter initiated nine new Brothers. These Brothers came to us with varied backgrounds and expertise that will surely enhance the growth of our chapter.

The new Brother are: Michael Blount, Bernard Crowley, Arthur Crowell, Tom Johnson, William Jones, John Rose, Royce Rosemont, Lacy Tinnen and Tom Watson.

In keeping with their line unity and strength, the neophyte Brothers attended the 73rd General Convention in Washington, D.C. They were very impressed by such a large gathering of men of distinction. They look forward to seeing you again in Chicago in 1 9 8 0 . Will you be there? They will!

The brotherhood of Beta Sigma Lambda Chapter welcomes the new Brothers with open arms and look forward to a very prosperous and productive year.

howord u School year 1 9 7 8 - 7 9 was the beginning of a new era for Beta Chapter with the induction of 1 7 new Brothers. The new initiates who called themselves the "Disciples of Osiris," saw the light of Alpha Phi Alpha this past March. These dynamic young men are as follows: Brother Darrell Holloman, Brother Reginald Williams, Brother Courtney Houchen, Brother Vincent Gadsden, Brother Dave Parkinson, Brother Dimitri Gray, Brother Reginald Grant, Brother Charles Mouton, Brother Arthur Griffiths, Brother Howard Harris, Brother Gregory Dulan, Brother Wayne Brooks, Brother Timothy Hunter, Brother Brent Stewart, Brother Dave Scott, Brother Ed Allen, and Brother James Gilbert.

The new members of Beta chapter are to be commended for their tenacity, "Always Tenacity," and desire to carry on the pride and the honor that is the Beta tradition.

School year 1 9 7 8 - 7 9 also saw the election of officers for 1 9 7 9 - 8 0 .

Mouton, Sergeant At Arms; Brother Dave Parkinson, Chaplain; Brother Howard Harris, Director of Educational Activities; Brother Courtney Houchen, Historian; and Brother Wayne Brooks, Associate Editor to the Sphinx.

These Brothers are to be congratulated on their election, and on the fine job that they are sure to do in the future.

Beta chapter, in upholding the motto "First of All, Servants of All, We shall transcend All," has once again shown the stuff of which Alphamen are made, by participating in a walkathon sponsored by the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation during this past summer. Other activities included the contribution of over 1,000 dollars to the "Reading is Fundamental" (RIF) program through proceeds from several functions throughout the past year.

School year 1 9 7 9 - 8 0 has thus far seen the Brothers of Beta chapter win the Howard University HomecomingGreek Show in a field of five contestants, and cap the evening by sponsoring a semi-formal cabaret with those ladies of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. This was, to say the least, a very memorable evening. And in a continuous effort of service, we have established a book scholarship for some deserving student on the undergraduate level, partic^ated in the Washington Area Community Day contributing help to needy persons in the surrounding area, continued with the support of the chapters adopted/foster child program, and sponsored a Halloween party for community children.

This has been a most productive period for Beta chapter and the future is shining bright. This only goes to show that Beta is better than ever. . .

MIDWEST western Illinois u The Brothers of Eta Eta Chapter, Western Illinois University, extend greetings throughout all Alphadom.

spirit and plan to make this the best year yet.

In regards to our declining membership, we have started an Aristocrat Club consisting of 20 young men interested in our beloved fraternity.

These young men, while getting a general knowledge of Alpha, study and interact with the Brothers and themselves as t h e y prepare academically for their role as Sphinxmen.

Although times are hard and Brothers are few, Eta Eta is definitely on the move, marching diligently upward toward the light. So don't shed a tear, just open an ear cause you'll be hearing a lot from us this year!

northwestern u Greetings to all of Alphadom from the Brothers of Alpha Mu Chapter at Northwestern University. As the new decade sets in, we hope that it finds all of you in good spirits and ready to do the work that we have all pledged ourselves to, for as we know, the future of this great fraternity rests in our hands.

The Brothers of Alpha Mu took great pride in knowing that their small contributions played a major role in upholding the ideals and goals of Alpha Phi Alpha F r a t e r n i t y , I n c . , as we celebrated our 57th chapter anniversary on October 2 1 , 1 9 7 9 . The entire weekend, which was devoted to a rekindling of the spirit in each Brother, was attended by alumni Brothers from as far away as New York and California. It concluded with a banquet and a rededication ceremony which served to strengthen our bonds to the Fraternity and to each other.

The Sphinx . Winter 1979

Before the close of 1 9 7 9 , we found it difficult to stray from our primary objectives. We made our reputation socially as the Brothers gave four parties which literally rocked Northwestern's campus. That same reputation grew civically as we sponsored our Fourth Annual Black Career Awareness Day on November 15, 1 9 7 9 . Over 3 0 corporations and graduate schools were represented as we aimed to pave the way for the success of our people. The Career Day consisted of a job exposition which gave students the opportunity to meet with recruiters, a seminar directed mainly toward underclassmen, on career options, and the announcement of the recipient of the chapter's "Andre Bell Community Service Award." The award marked the first of its kind by Alpha Mu and we plan to continue it indefinitely.

The Brothers aroused campus interest when we "overstepped" traditional boundaries and acted on a new chapter commitment to involve ourselves fully in the politics and direction of campus life. We ended the 1 9 7 9 fraternal year with a celebration in honor of the Fraternity's anniversary in conjunction with the graduate chapter in Evanston, Zeta Xi Lambda.

And then we hit the books for finals.

1 9 8 0 , just as 1 9 7 9 , promises to be a successful year. Planned events and activities include our Winter performance, a book drive, a health day, the presentation of our Robert Willis Academic Achievement Award, and our Winter pledge line with Aaron Hamb serving as Dean and Cavin McFarland and Michael Williams serving as Co-Deans.

And finally, as we approach the upcoming National Convention to be held in Chicago we are planning a grand reunion of all Alpha Mu Men from across the nation to preceed the national convention this summer. All alumni are asked to contact the chapter or Brother Andre Bell, Associate Financial Aid Director, 6 3 3 Clark St., Evanston, Illinois.

Brotherhood and dedication have brought us this far. Hopefully they will pave the way for what is to come.

mississippi The Brothers of Theta Sigma Lambda chapter, Natchez, Mississippi pause for a few moments of their regular monthly meeting to be photographed. This photograph will be placed on this year's Theta Sigma Lambda's Alpha Phi Alpha calendar.

The calendar project, dissemination of clothes to welfare recipients, assisting disaster victims (Easter Flood 1979, Jackson, Mississippi and Hurricane Fredrick), scholarship fund, and a supreme effort to make a liberal contribution to the Million Dollar Drive are just a few of the many projects in which the Brothers of Theta Sigma Lambda are involved with and are the chapter's goals for the 1979-80 year.

florida To our continuing commitment of moving "Onward and Upward Towards the Light" and at the same time exerting a positive image throughout the community, the Brothers of Mu Zeta Lambda Chapter, behind the coordinating efforts of our own Brother Lorenzo Robinson, participated in the first annual Minority Business Appreciation Parade held in Lakeland, Florida. Brother Robinson, an agent for Prudential Insurance Co., viewed this parade and presentation afterwards as the first stage of uniting the efforts of the minority businesses in the area in the hope of enhancing their growth and better serving the community.

With proven scholastic attainment being one requirement for initiation into Alpha Phi Alpha and in our never ending attempt to encourage the same, at the conclusion of the 78-79 school term, Mu Zeta Lambda presented its annual Scholastic Achievement Awards to deserving students at area high schools.

Realizing the Fraternity's objective "To stimulate the ambition of it's members," Mu Zeta Lambda hosted a

surprise Appreciation Night for Brother Ken Riley as he prepared once again to leave to begin training for the 1979 National Football season.

At this time we would like to mention a very interesting happening that took place recently and involved one of our outstanding chapter members, Brother Jack Johnson. Brother Johnson has spent many hours tracing his family "roots." He sent letters containing questionnaires to family members and through this method compiled a great deal of family information. He then began the tedious task of verifying this information. This took a tremendous effort on the part of Brother Johnson as he was confronted by many obstacles since his findings dated back to 1835.

But none of this deterred Brother Johnson from accomplishing what he had set out to achieve. With the same determination he exhibited in crossing "the Burning Sands," he marched onward in pursuit of his goal. Finally at the state library the major branch of his family tree was found listed among the census records. This information set the stage for the drawing of a huge mural size family tree dating back to 1835. The search climaxed with one of the most enlightening family reunions ever held in the city of Lakeland, Florida. Brother Johnson received much local exposure for his efforts and was presented a key to the city of Lakeland. The reunion was attended by over 150 family members including the matriarch of the Holt family, Mrs. Hester Holt Anderson, now 95 years of age. Brother Johnson will be checking further to trace his entire "roots" so we wish him success in his search.

And finally, the Brothers of Mu Zeta Lambda Chapter were conscientiously working towards presenting our first annual "Men of Tomorrow Contest" scheduled for December 1979. This project was presented to the chapter

by Brother Phillip Walker as a result of his communication with the Brothers in Dade County (Miami) Florida, who sponsor this program annually.

The contest is designed to aid in the development of our young men through their active participation towards advancing themselves as leading citizens of tomorrow. This contest is a first for Polk County, Florida, and will be held in Lakeland, Fla.

We also would like to give you a brief summary of the activities which we accomplished during the school year 1978-79.

SOUTHWEST texos Recently the Delta Rho Lambda Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., staged its Second Annual Folkfest at Comanche Park No. 2.

The highlight of the evening's activities was the awarding of prizes to three folkfest participants. First prize, a 1979 Customized Dodge Van, was awarded to Mr. Jaime Londono of Alamo City; second prize, a microwave oven, was awarded to Mr. Gregory Nixon of Houston; and Dr. Richard Anderson, local dentist, was the proud recipient of the third prize, a 19-inch, color TV set.

The members of the Alpha Fraternity wish to express their deepest gratitude to those members of the community who so graciously shared their time and resources to insure the success of the folkfest.

Out-going Chapter President, William Hays, Jr., reported folkfest attendance at around 5,000 including on-premises and off-premises participants.

The noteworthy organized support to this year's folkfest was the Alpha Wives and Sweethearts. Mrs. Ethel McDonald, President of that organization says, "Our group enjoys the opportunity to support our husbands and sweethearts."

In-coming Chapter President, Colonel Brodes Hartley, Jr., explained that "The folkfest is a positive way for Alphas to demonstrate their support to community activities and insures that the fraternity remains a viable part of the community's ongoingness.

The Alpha Folkfest is designed to provide an education and scholarship fund to support the college education of the community youth.

All hats are off to the 1979 Alpha Folkfest Chairman, Brother James Pickett. The outstanding performance of this very active brother was part of a concerted effort on the part of his family, especially the untiring support rendered by his charming wife, Pat. Delta Rho Lambda boasts a current membership of over 50 active Brothers. A plan is being studied whereby inactive Brothers are reclaimed to their active status with the fraternity.
