editor's review Greetings . . . RE-SETTING THE JEWELS: In the wake of our winter Founder's Day celebrations, it is appropriate that we turn our attention to a matter that might have unfortunately "not been considered" in recent years. Of concern is our need to maintain a continuous vigil over the resting places of our distinguished founders - The Seven Jewels. This issue's Legacy feature details how one local chapter inadvertently discovered that the gravesite of Jewel George Biddle Kelley was in less than optimum condition; and follows them through a three-year quest to remedy that condition. In the end, the happy conclusion was a collaborative effort embracing two chapters (Beta Pi Lambda in Albany, New York and Omicron Upsilon at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute); the leadership of the Fraternity's Eastern Region; and, the General Organization. Our article is written by Brother Paul Zuber, Director of the Graduate Center for Urban Environmental Studies at RPI; and we also received valuable assistance from Brother Elmer Green, President of Beta Pi Lambda, and General Treasurer James Trent, who supplied the photograph of the re-dedication ceremony . . . FOLLOWUP: As a result of this story, the Board of Directors has authorized a follow-up program to evaluate and, if possible and necessary, to upgrade the gravesites of the other six Jewels. Chapters near these sites should contact me, via the General Office, for further details . . . Assistant Executive Secretary-Programs Waldo E. Johnson, Jr. had a major hand in the preparation of three of our features in this issue. As usual, he edited our Black Colleges feature on Southern University - giving us a chance to highlight the system's three Chancellors, i.e. Brothers Leonard Barnes, Emmett Bashful and James Prestage. He also wrote our Alpha Athletes segment, profiling Albany State's successful track coach - Brother Robert Cross - from his home state of Georgia. And finally, Brother Johnson's regular column - Speaking of Programs - presents a year-end look at the contributions of our local chapters to various charitable causes . . . COMMENTARY: In this issue Brother Huel Perkins looks at the various state-of-education reports that have been hyped by the media; while Brother Robert Browne, a Senior Fellow at Howard University and President of the XXIst Century Foundation, presents a startling report on the status of Black-owned lands in America. In Feedback, Brother Thomas Odom writes to take issue with an earlier article by Brother Perkins (Fall 1983) on the NCAA's Proposition 48. I still don't believe that we've heard the final word on that subject and, incidentally, we heartily welcome your "feedback" on our commentaries . . . AT LAST, A HOLIDAY: To mark the historic signing of the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday bill, we searched for an appropriate feature - until we re-examined the issue of The Sphinx printed following his death. It's virtually impossible to find a copy of that issue, so we decided to re-print the poignant pictorial history contained therein - developed by then-Editor-in-Chief J. Herbert King. Clearly, this essay in words and pictures stands on its own. We hope you will treasure it as well . . . 70 YEARS: Just a reminder that our next issue will commemorate the 70th Anniversary of The Sphinx. Thanks to those chapters that have purchased ads in this upcoming edition; and, for those who missed the deadline, give me a call - there might still be time! . . . SAY WHAT?: Brother Lawrence Jones, Jr. of Alpha Eta Chapter (St. Louis, Missouri) has asked that I remind each of you that the correct pronunication of our magazine's title is (sfinx), with the "ph" taking on the "/" sound; not "spinks," as in the ill-fated Leon. Brother Jones notes that he hears the latter "with disappointment."'We couldn't agree more . . . Until next issue . . . MJP

THE GENERAL PRESIDENT SPEAKS

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. has reached unprecedented heights in reaching out and giving to eleemosynary causes. Through its Million Dollar Campaign, it has contributed $200,000 each to the National Urban League, United Negro College Fund, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. This is unprecedented among Black organizations and it has brought honor and credit to the Fraternity like nothing else has. Of course, we will give more to that fund as Brothers continue to pay their pledges; for we consider the NUL, UNCF and NAACP to be absolutely essential to The Struggle That Continues.

The 77th Anniversary Convention in New Orleans boldly and enthusiastically embarked upon another campaign, this time to raise 1.5 million dollars to build ourselves a national headquarters. The New Orleans convention was a tremendous success by any standard of measurement; it was the largest convention in years. When all accounting is complete, I'm sure it will prove to be a financially successful one. The sense of fellowship and brotherhood were at a height never before exceeded. The resounding vote, though, to launch the 1.5 Million Dollar Drive to build a new national headquarters building was the climax of the will and spirit that highlighted the 77th. In the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Brother, you ought to been there."

Some Brothers may think it bold and audacious to embark upon a 1.5 Million Dollar Campaign on the heels of the Million Dollar Campaign. I agree, but bold and audacious are the ways of Alpha. Alpha belongs in the forefront of leadership and a characteristic of leadership is to act boldly and audaciously when the occasion calls for such action.

To follow the Million Dollar Campaign for charitable causes with a 1.5 2

Let's Build Ourselves A House Million Dollar Drive to build ourselves a house is true to the Alpha sense of priorities — others before ourselves. A quotation of unknown authorship, I believe, says it best: "If I am not for myself, then who shall be for me? If I am only for myself, then what am I?" The proposal that the convention adopted set a goal of 1.5 million dollars to be raised in a three-year campaign.

This money is to be raised through contributions from the Brothers with Chapters taking primary responsibility for collecting the money and forwarding it to the national office. As the campaign is being developed, Chapters should take care to receive contributioins from new initiates as they come into the Fraternity.

Actually we are hoping to complete the campaign in two years, although three years were allotted by the convention. The minimum being requested per Brother is so small that two years would seem perfectly adequate in time.

We are asking for a minimum of $100 from each graduate Brother and $50 from each college Brother.

Many Brothers will want to give substantially more for such a cause as a new headquarters for our great Fraternity. You will hear more from the Campaign Committee relative to the categories of giving. The structure and thrust of the campaign are now being put together. That structure, thrust and other details will follow subsequently.

I've asked Brothers Charles H. Wesley and Raymond W. Cannon to serve as Honorary Co-Chairmen of the drive.

Three other Past General Presidents, Lionel H. Newsom, Walter Washington and James R. Williams, have been asked to serve as General Co-Chairmen.

Brother Isidore J. Lamothe, Jr., who served so well as Chairman of the Million Dollar Fund Drive, has consented to honcho the 1.5 Million Dollar Campaign as Campaign Coordinator.

Regional, State and Chapter Campaign Coordinators are being solicited. Any volunteers?

Brothers now is the time for all good Alphas to come to the aid of their Fraternity. Let's talk up the campaign.

Let's get it on and over with quickly.

"Let's build ourselves a house!"

More, much more will come later.

Fraternally,

"

THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY'S DESK A Mid-Year Report

Happy 1984!

I sincerely hope that each of you enjoyed the holiday season and that your chapter activities, including Founder's Day, were carried out in a spirit of re-dedication to the lofty principles of Alpha Phi Alpha. At this time, I'd like to render a brief mid-year report on the operations of the General Office since the conclusion of the General Convention in New Orleans.

We here in Chicago have been continuing the task of upgrading and modernizing our operations. With all of the talk in recent years about "computerization," many have expected immediate results. However, the conversion of all of our operations will be ongoing for some time to come. This is only the second year of that process; and, it is our first year of operation under the re-organized staff structure unveiled at the 1983 General Convention. We remain confident that this effort will be of lasting benefit to the Fraternity.

Data Processing A major hurdle to be cleared in our computerization program concerned the need to up-grade the level of computer services available to us. As a result, we have proceeded to change vendors for this service. This change allowed us to 1) upgrade the equipment in our office; 2) expand the amount of on-line time available for our use; and, 3) save money in this area of operations. These advantages will allow us to more adequately serve the growing needs of our organization.

Another aspect of our data-processing operation concerns our ongoing attempt to obtain the necessary information to build an accurate membership file.

Here progress is still slower than anticipated . . . although our work continues. We are especially anxious to complete this phase of our operation — because until this task is finished, we must continue to divert valuable staff time from current operations The Sphinx / Winter 1983

and programs projected for future implementation.

I am pleased to report that the overwhelming majority of the Brothers have complied with our procedures and we have now established membership profiles on some 85% of our active membership. We would appreciate the cooperation of the other Brothers who have yet to complete Computer Data Forms - the majority of whom are Life Members. Using a procedure authorized by the Board of Directors, we shall continue active efforts to secure this information only until July 1, 1984. Please cooperate in this project.

General Operations As I outlined in my last column, we have organized the office into four "departments" or "working areas."

Thus far, this structure has proved to be very important in the day-to-day operation of the General Office and it allows the professional staff the opportunity to use their talents in the service of the Brotherhood. For maximum efficiency in assisting you, it is important that you utilize our set-up and contact the appropriate staff member for assistance. Again, our working areas are: Administration, headed the Executive Secretary; Marketing and Membership, headed by Assistant Executive Secretary Darryl R. Matthews; Communications, headed by Assistant

Executive Secretary Michael J. Price; and, Programs, under the direction of Assistant Executive Secretary Waldo E. Johnson.

A Two-Way Street Our ability to keep the Brotherhood and our Chapters aware of pertinent information is contingent on our having received "addresses" — both individual and Chapter — on a timely basis. This continues to be a problem.

Our first step after the General Convention was a revised schedule of Chapter Bulletins. We mailed an average of two Bulletins per month, to contact persons from our Chapters . . . and stressed the need for the filing of up-dated chapter addresses. Here, as in other areas, I am pleased to report positive results . . . with some 85% of our Chapters meeting this constitutional mandate. This is far above the 30% return that we usually have at this time, but still not good enough.

Optimally, we would not have to launch a major effort to get compliance with such a simple rule. Please ask that your Chapter officials meet their responsibilities in this regard.

Amendments Ratified We would like to herein give formal notification that the Amendments to the Constitution and By-Laws, adopted at the New Orleans General Convention, were duly circulated for Chapter Balloting on September 1,1983. On the basis of chapter votes, we hereby declare said amendments ratified. Your chapter officers have full information on said amendments.

Fraternally yours, James B. Blanton Executive Secretary

A physical fitness buff since his days as a paratrooper in the famed 82nd Airborne, Brother Mayes credits regular workouts at a local fitness center for the youthful appearance that belies his 69 years of age. He is married to the former Virdell Bernice Roberts of Marshall, Texas and is the father of one daughter, Jesselle Anne, a teacher.

Supervisor Mayes, of Virginia Brother JESSE J. MAYES, a retired Army Lieutenant Colonel and former college professor, was elected County Supervisor in Chesterfield County, Virginia. Brother Mayes, a Democrat, thus became the first Black supervisor in this predominately white, conservative area.

Brother Mayes says that he captured the seat with a coalition of Blacks and whites, a coalition he believes will bind the district together.

Brother Mayes' political career started with the Civic and Progressive Action Association of the Matoaca Magisterial District. A charter member, he said the organization was formed in 1980 " . . . to address the many problems that were coming up, especially in the Black community . . . that were not being addressed." His work with this organization was instrumental in his historic election.

A data systems expert who directed the Computer Center at Virginia State University from 1964 to 1969, Brother Mayes plans to create a computerized information network that will store information needed to serve his constituents. And he added that this first year's base salary as supervisor would be devoted to paying for this effort.

Speaking Of Programs

Once again, the time has come when we should assess the impact of Alpha Phi Alpha's charitable support upon the communities served by the Fraternity's 700 college and alumni chapters during the 1982-83 year. I am compelled to inform you that such a task is no small undertaking; and, it is further hampered by a major problem which prevents true accuracy in this reporting procedure.

Most chapters failed to submit their 1982-83 Chapter Report of Program Activities. For the second consecutive year, less than ten percent of the total number of active college and alumni chapters submitted such reports. Therefore, once again, I am limited to reporting only samplings of chapter program activities. Also, in order to guage the "average" chapter, the sample will not include the program activity of the mega-chapters (100+ members). However, I am constantly apprised of their program activities and benevolence informally via discussions with individual chapter members as well as through discussions with the recipients themselves. An all-out chapter observance of this responsibility to the General Organization would go far toward simplifying the reporting process; and more importantly, verifying the Fraternity's contention that we rank foremost among fraternal organizations in service.

Nevertheless, the sampling yields some rather impressive findings. During the 1982-83 fraternal year, Alpha Phi Alpha's projected local contributions topped $300,000 - including three categories: a projected $50,000 contribution to local chapters and affiliates of the NAACP, NUL, and the UNCF; $100,000 to local charities and $150,000 in local scholarships. An analysis of these figures indicates the following: (a) Overall charitable contributions are down from $320,000 in 1982-83. (b) The reductions appear to be reflected in contributions designated for local scholarships (from $165,000 in 1982 The Sphinx /Winter 1983

to $150,000 in 1983) and local charities (from $110,000 in 1982 to $100,000 in 1983). (c) Available figures indicate an increase in contributions to the NAACP, NUL, and the UNCF (from $45,000 in 1982 to $50,000 in 1983 - which are not reflected in contributions to the Alpha Phi Alpha Million Dollar Fund Drive, which benefits these three organizations solely).

Alpha Phi Alpha's 1982-83 record for giving appears to follow the same trend as most professional charities for the same time period, in that less funds were distributed as the need continues to grow. Never before in the history of America have so many people sought assistance for bare existence alone.

Therefore, it is apparent tht something must be done to further assist those who so desperately depend upon us. It is also interesting to note that in the light of smaller donations to local scholarships and local charities, Alpha chapters have stepped up their contributions to the local chapters and affiliates of the NAACP, NUL, and UNCF (long-time civil rights and service organizations) over and beyond the amounts donated through the Million Dollar Fund Drive. I point out this fact not to advocate giving less to these organizations, but to point up the importance of completing Alpha Phi Alpha's million dollar pledge to these organizations through this fund drive; and the role each chapter (not to mention each Brother) must play in execution of this commitment. All chapters should make said donations through the Million Dollar Fund Drive.

Yet, Alpha Phi Alpha continues to provide volunteer service as well as financial assistance to numerous local and national organizations. Alpha Phi Alpha's concern is reflected in its attempts to assist in youth development activities, gerontological programs, tutorial and other academic support programs, and national research foundations such as the March of Dimes, American Cancer Society, and Muscular Dystrophy, to name a few. Generally, college chapters kept pace with alumni chapers in giving. In fact, the college chapters out-distanced alumni chapters in contributions to local charities in financial donations alone. When coupled with long hours volunteered to tutorial programs, visiting convalescent homes,

and participation in various fund drives, this becomes an even greater financial contribution in support of those in need. In contrast to the 1981-82 findings, college chapters lagged behind alumni chapters in contributions to the NAACP, NUL, and UNCF during 1982-83, although the projected amount contributed by college chapters ws larger during 1982-83 than the amount contributed during 1981-82. This, undoubtedly, suggests that more alumni chapters gave to these three organizations.

Finally, it is crucial that Alpha Phi Alpha look realistically at the challenges facing us and to which we must respond. Now is the time to execute a plan of action with national impact which is also responsive to the needs of college and alumni chapters alike. All Alpha men must consider: • the need to contribute more generously to the national A-Phi-A Education Foundation, not only for maintenance of the present Undergraduate Scholarship Program but also for its much needed expansion. • the need to identify, adopt, and support a national program which the entire Fraternity can embrace. • the need to develop Political Action Committees (PAC) in conjunction with other groups and organizations which provide technical and financial support as more and more Black candidates enter local, state, and national races.

It goes without saying that Alpha Phi Alpha remains "First of All" . . . not only in the hearts of Alpha men but also in the minds and spirit of those who honestly assess the Fraternity's worth through the contributions of its varied and talented membership. However, it is apparent that more than ever before, a re-dedication to its high ideals is in order. Few are honored to be among this select Fraternity of men called Alpha Phi Alpha. With the strong support of each Brother, Alpha Phi Alpha can continue to reach heights previously unparalleled.

Best wishes for a stronger Alpha Phi Alpha in 1984.

Fraternally yours,

WALDOJ . JOHNSON,'JK. Assistant Executive Secretary Programs

THI FIRAL WORDi Mark my wordl As soon as Brother Eddie Boblnson takes away Bear Bryant's crown as the top football coach in history, the majority media (sportswrlters and announcers) will attempt to diminish his accomplishment in some way. My guess is that they'll try to keep Bear on top by calling him the winnlngest "major college" ooach — and "forgetting" to mention who holds the actual record.

When you hear It, let us know.

"Alpha Tower" Is Opened The Alpha Phi Alpha Building Foundation, Inc. is proud to announce t h a t " A l p h a Tower" — a 149-unit apartment building for the elderly — Is now In operation at 936 East 47th Street, Chicago, Illinois. As of this writing, the bulling is 1/2 occupied, committed for full occupancy and holding a waiting list in excess of one thousand persons. This status speaks to the clear need for decent and affordable housing in Chicago, a city with a rental vacancy rate of less t h a n 1 %. Dedication ceremonies for the new complex have been set for the Spring of this year.

Alpha Tower is the first fraternityaffiliated housing project to be totally under the auspices of the General Organization (others Involved local chapters); and Its completion raises the number of units of fraternityThe Sphinx / Winter 1983

sponsored housing in the country to more t h a n 2,200. Included in this number are projects in Akron and Toledo, Ohio; and St. Louis, Missouri.

Building Foundation Chairman Wayne Harvey also noted t h a t this project was completed ahead of schedule and t h a t it included outstanding minority participation in its construction, amounting to some 67% of the total work. Former Executive Secretary and Mrs. Laurence T. Young, Sr. are serving as Senior Citizen Resident Managers for the 18-story complex, which consists of 128 standard one-bedroom units; 13 one-bedroom apartments especially equipped for the handicapped; 8 standard two-bedroom units; and 2 two-bedroom apartments for the handicapped.

"It is my hope that as the Negro plunges deeper into the quest for freedom, he will plunge even deeper into the philosophy of nonviolence. As a race, Negroes must work passionately for first-class citizenship — but they must never use second-class methods to gain it. They must never succumb to the temptation of using violence in the struggle."

"The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.

A doctrine of black supremacy is as evil as a doctrine of white supremacy."

"Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral question of our time — the need for man to overcome oppression and violence without resorting to violence and oppression."

DRUM MAJOR FOR JUSTICE

Struck by a rock as he led a march for fair housing through the southwest side of Chicago in 1966.

"I pray that with the price Dr. King paid—his life—he will make room in people's hearts for love, not hate. And for the people Dr. King led, who have suffered so much, and who have so much still to hope for, I pray that his sacrifice will help to bring to them all they deserve. (I wept) for the senseless, senseless act of the hate which took away a man who preached love and hope."

George B. Kelley, Founder and First President of Alpha Chapter The late George Biddle Kelley, one of the seven Jewels of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., died on May 5, 1962 in Troy, New York.

On the 10th of May, 1962, funeral services for Jewel Brother Kelley were held at the Liberty Presbyterian Church in Troy. The Omega service for an Alpha man was also performed. Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha from throughout the United States attended the funeral. Included in this group were presidents and general officers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Jewel Brother Kelley was interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Troy, New York. As the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha left the cemetery on May 10, 1962, although they were saddened by the death of Jewel Brother Kelley, they felt that he had been laid to rest in an appropriate place and that his grave would be a perpetual memorial.

In the fall of 1977, the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha in New York State convened in annual conference at Albany, New York. The Brothers of graduate chapter Beta Pi Lambda were host to the convention. In planning for the event, it was decided that a pilgrimage would be made to Jewel Brother Kelley's grave. It was at that time that facts became known that became of great concern

THE RESETTING OF A JEWEL

By Brother Paul B. Zuber to the Brothers of Beta Pi Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. It appeared that Jewel Brother Kelley's grave had been removed from Oakwood Cemetery and transferred to the gravesite of his parents at the New Mt. Ida Cemetery in the City of Troy. After a great deal of investigation, the new site was found and it was also learned that a headstone had never been placed on the grave. The pilgrimage was held and the absence of the gravestone was now known to the Brothers who attended the conference. Shortly after the conference, the Brothers of Beta Pi Lambda Chapter felt that steps should be taken to not only secure an appropriate gravestone but also to improve the landscape around the grave site. A committee was formed headed by Brother

Chrispin Hall, Jr. to carry out this mission. The family of Jewel Brother Kelley was contacted and permission was secured for Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to place a gravestone at the burial site. Beta Pi Lambda Chapter then petitioned the New York State District, the Eastern Region and the General Office of Alpha Phi Alpha for support in its effort to provide for an appropriate memorial for Jewel Brother Kelley.

The Brothers of Beta Pi Lambda Chapter, feeling that this was an urgent matter, opted to secure the funds to purchase the gravestone and put it in place. The Chapter felt sure that the state, regional and national organizations would provide financial assistance for this important effort. On Sunday, the 23rd of May, 1980, a memorial service for Jewel Brother George Biddle Kelley was held at New Mt. Ida Cemetery. The gravestone was dedicated by Brother Joseph Kerr. The Brothers of Beta Pi Lambda Chapter felt that a positive step had been taken towards the appropriate memorialization of Jewel Brother George Biddle Kelley.

Shortly after the dedication of the new grave site and gravestone, funds were made available by the national organization for the work that had been done at New Mt. Ida

Cemetery. The remaining monies were placed in a special reserve fund to be used for the beautification and maintenance of the grave site of Jewel Brother George Biddle Kelley.

It was at this time that an interest group of undergraduates at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute was created.

These young men had expressed a genuine desire to become a part of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. Dylan Thomas was the spearhead of this effort. Unfortunately, he was killed on Thanksgiving Day in 1981 just prior to the initiation of the pledges at RPI into Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. One of the projects of this group was to develop a plan for the beautification of the grave site of George Biddle Kelley. Originally, the undergraduate Brothers were affiliated with Beta Pi Lambda Chapter. On February 21, 1983, Omicron Upsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha was formed and installed at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute.

The Brothers of the undergraduate chapter met with the Brothers of the graduate chapter and presented their plan for the rehabilitation of the grave site. The graduate chapter authorized the Brothers at RPI to proceed with their plans and assured them that the funds were available to do the work. It was stressed that

Jewel George Biddle Kelley is finally at rest in surroundings befitting a founder of Alpha. the work should be completed by June of 1983 since a staff conference of the Eastern Region would convene at RPI in June. On Sunday, June 21st a rededication service of the grave site of Jewel George Biddle Kelley was held at New Mt. Ida Cemetery. Representatives from several of the chapters in New York State, plus general officers and officers throughout the Eastern Region attended the service. The Brothers of Omicron Upsilon had done an outstanding job and it was felt by all who attended the service that Jewel George Biddle Kelley was now at rest in an environment that

was more fitting a founder of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity. The Brothers of Omicron Upsilon Chapter have volunteered to function as caretakers of the grave site and the Brothers of Beta Pi Lambda Chapter have committed themselves to take whatever steps necessary to not only keep the grave site in its present condition but to continue to improve it. As of June 21, 1983, Jewel Brother George Biddle Kelley is finally at rest in surroundings befitting a founder of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity.

It has been a tradition in families to preserve and cherish valuable jewels and heirlooms that have been passed down from one generation to another. It would also hold that the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha have seven precious Jewels that should be cared for with equal intensity and concern. Sometimes the setting of those Jewels might become tarnished or worn out and it is our responsibility to refurbish and recast those Jewels in settings that befit their brilliance. This is a challenge that must be met by all of the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not only with respect to the grave site of Jewel Brother George Biddle Kelley, but also the grave sites of the other six Jewels.

ALPHA ATHLETES Building a w i n n i n g athletic program is something that many coaches only dream about, but very few will ever achieve.

However, at Albany [GA] S t a t e College (ASC), Brother ROBERT CROSS has built from the ground up a winning tradition in track and field. In addition to building a winning track program, Brother Cross has also developed a winning attitude among his thinclads and, in the process, has made Albany State's Track and Field Team a perennial power-house in the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC).

The road to building a winner was not an easy task for Brother Cross, who began his coaching career at Albany State in 1967. In fact, Brother Cross states that when he was asked to coach the ASC "Rams" track and field team he refused because, in his words, "Albany State College didn't have a track team." [Note: In 1967 the Rams had a track team program but at that time the team consisted of only eight thinclads.] But as the saying goes, "good things come to those who wait," â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and for the ASC Track Program good things came in 1969 when Brother Cross agreed to coach the Rams Track and Field Team. His first task as head coach was to instill within his athletes a winning attitude which is essential in order to field a winning program. In his first year of competition in the SIAC, the Rams surprised the conference by capturing their first Track and Field Championship ever. Desiring stronger competition, Albany State's athletic program in 1970 moved into the The Sphinx / Winter 1983

Robert Cross

Winning Tradition Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Although his team was ruled ineligible for the conference track championship, Brother Cross' thinclads made an impressive showing in their initial year by finishing third in the conference (his lowest showing in his track career).

Beginning in 1972 the Rams under Brother Cross' guidance began to claim successive SIAC Track and Field Championships. The Rams were dethroned in 1976 and 1979 by Florida A&M University, but would rebound to capture the SIAC crown from 1980 to the present time. In recognition of his coaching success, Brother Cross has received the SIAC "Coach of the Year" honor for 10 of the past 11 years.

Although his track and field team has gained most of the attention, Brother

Cross quickly points out that his Cross-Country Team has been quietly pulling victories in Crossc o u n t r y championships.

He proudly states, 'The Cross-Country crown has been won by large margins for the past eight years." To phrase it bluntly, he states, "We have just beaten the devil out of them!"

Brother Cross' ultimate goal as ASC Track Coach is to win the NCAA Division II National Title. However, before the Rams and Brother Cross will get a chance to shoot for the national title, the NCAA must make the national meets accessible to all schools; that is, to host the track meets in locations whereby the predominatelyBlack institutions can take a quality number of athletes.

Brother Cross became interested in track while he was a youngster growing up in Moultrie, Georgia. He

states that he thought that he was the best sprinter in his entire high school. But as fate would have it, Brother Cross was recognized as the second-best sprinter as he was credibly outshined by Willie C. Hardwick. His love for track and field events did not end when he finished high school; Brother Cross continued his athletics in college. Brother Cross states that his greatest ambition in high school and college was to excel in track, but he failed to achieve his goal.

Robert Cross became interested in Albany State's T r a c k P r o g r a m while coaching junior high school track. Brother Cross points out that he watched for years as Fort Valley State College and Florida A&M University methodically ground-up the ASC Rams Track Team. Brother Cross promised himself, and made the prediction, that if he ever gained the "Head Track Coach" job at Albany State, the Rams would never lose to Ft. Valley and Florida A&M again. He proudly boasts, "Except for 1976 and 1979 when I lost to FAMU, I have made this prediction become a reality."

In his years of coaching track at Albany State, Brother Cross has turned out a number of world class athletes. Perhaps the most noted was James Bruce McDaniels, who has been ranked as the world's fifth best high jumper. In addition to Bruce, Brother Cross has turned out athletes such as Willie Ford, Lucious Davis, Frank Seay, Jerry Williams and Keith Kenny who is fast becoming a world-class distance runner.

OUTHERN UNIVERSITY America's Largest Black College

Southern President Jesse Stone, with Southern University Laboratory School second-graders at Founder's Day celebration.

Immediately across the street from the J. S. Clark Administration Building on the Baton Route campus of Southern University stands the Archives Building, a small cottage on the east b a n k of the Mississippi River, once the location of the Kernan Plantation. This was the first building located on the Southern University campus.

T o d a y , Southern University extends from its modest beginning on the riverbank to the railroad tracks parelling one of Baton Rouge's busiest thoroughfares. It also extends to campuses in N e w Orleans and Shreveport, Louisiana, with cooperative programs in such far a w a y places as Nigeria, Sierra Leone, and the Cameroons, drawing its students from all 64 parishes of Louisiana, all 50 states, and 30 foreign countries.

The Southern University System, which was established in 1975, is the largest predominantly Black univerThe Sphinx / Winter 1983

sity system in the world.

S o u t h e r n U n i v e r s i t y at Baton Rouge (SUBR), the oldest institution within the system (having been established in 1880), was founded as a land grant agricultural a n d m e c h a n i c a l college.

Southern University at N e w Orleans (SUNO) was established in 1957, and Southern University at ShreveportBossier (SUSBO), in 1965.

T h e system's academic offerings span the educational spectrum from twoyear associate degree programs through numerous four-year baccalaureate programs to master and professional degree programs.

During 1980, SUBR celebrated one hundred years of education and service benefitting the people of the state of Louisiana, the nation, and the world.

Southern University, despite the difficulty it has experienced over the last century in trying to build upon its initial foundation of viability and strength, today

finds itself stronger and more viable than ever before.

More than 13,000 students enter the Southern University System annually seeking knowledge and training, m a n y of w h o m attain their degrees in the arts and humanities, the sciences, education, agriculture, business, home economics, engineering and law. In a d d i t i o n , the S o u t h e r n University System's research, public service, extension, military and athletic programs offer a broad and constantly expanding range of opportunities for stud e n t s , faculty a n d the System's communities.

The administration and faculty of the Southern University System — nobly led b y President Jesse N .

Stone, Jr. and Drs. James J. Prestage, Emmett W. Bashful and Leonard Barnes (Chancellors of the Baton Rouge, N e w Orleans and Shreveport campuses, respectively) — comprise more than 600 scholars a n d e d u c a t o r s ,

many of whom hold degrees from some of the world's most prestigious universities and are widely recognized for their demonstrated abilities in academia.

Already, in developmental education, the Southern University System has made significant progress in the retention of students with reading, communication and computation difficulties.

Southern University proudly points out the fact that its developmental education program has provided invaluable learning experiences for those under-prepared students w h o enter Southern University System, m a n y of w h o m have successfully completed the developmental and college core-curriculum programs and continued to fulfill requirements for graduation.

Presently, the university is expanding its curricular offerings by implementing programs h nursing, a Center for Small Farm Continued on Page 28

CAMPUS HEADS: Administering the system's three campuses are (left to right): Brother Leonard Barnes, Chancellor of the ShreveportBossier campus; Brother Emmett Bashful, Chancellor of SU-NO; and. Brother James Prestage, Chancellor of the main campus WOUTHERN UNIVERSITY Continued from Page 27 Research, and several doctoral degree programs, some of which are cooperative programs with Louisiana State University.

As a means of further enhancement of the Southern University System, $230,000 annually is designated for faculty development, and $1 million annually over the next six years for other enhancement purposes. In addition to a $32 million operating budget for SUBR, an $8 million operating budget for SUNO, and a $3 million operating budget

for SUSBO, the Southern University System continues its capital drive in further development of the law school as well as for the expansion of physical facilities, with some $70 million worth of capital construction planned or presently underway.

Southern University graduates are found throughout the nation at all levels of government, in business and industry, and throughout the professions. Furthermore, among the ranks of Southern University graduates are many firsts for Black America, including the first Black woman to

receive the Ph.D. in Political Science, the first Black man to be elected to judgeship in Louisiana since reconstruction, and the first Black man to serve on the Louisiana Supreme Court.

Southern University has provided the formal and ROTC Training for more Black U.S. generals than any other historically Black university in the world. In addition, a large number of full colonels are Southern University graduates. Finally, six percent of the nation's Black engineers are graduates of Southern University.

FEEDBACK A response to Perkins' view of Proposition 48 Page 32

The Sphinx / Winter 1983

For years, there has been a gnawing feeling that something was wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201D; radically wrong â&#x20AC;&#x201D; with public education. Three recent reports have confirmed our worst fears.

It was first the report of the National Commission on Excellence in Education released in February of this year which shockingly stated that we were a nation at risk. "Our society and its educational institutions seem to have lost sight of the basic purposes of schooling, and of the high expectations and disciplined effort needed to attain them," it said.

"Each generation of Americans has outstripped its parents in education, in literary, and in economic attainment.

For the first time . . . the educational skills of one generation will not surpass, will not even approach, those of their parents . . . The United States is under challenge."

An important recommendation coming out of this report was that state and local high school graduation requirements be strengthened and that, as a minimum, all students seeking a diploma be required to lay a foundation in the Five New Basics by taking the following their four years in high school: four years of English; three years of mathematics; three years of science; three years of social studies; and one half year of computer science. For the college-bound student, two years of a foreign language was strongly recommended.

Fast on the heels of the report from the National Commission on Excellence came one from the National Science Board's Commission on Precollege Education in Mathematics, Science and Technology. Its language was as shocking as its reforms. It began: 'The nation that dramatically and boldly led the world into the age of technology is failing to provide its own children with the intellectual tools needed for the twenty-first century . . . Already the quality of our manufactured products,

the viability of our trade, our leadership in research and development, and our standards of living are strongly challenged . . . Our children will become stragglers in a world of technology. We must not let this happen.

America must not become an industrial dinosaur."

This report also called for a return to basics, which it defined as not only the usual ones we have come to know: reading, writing, arithmetic; but recommended that we include in our basics for the twenty-first century: communication, higher problemsolving, and scientific and technological literacy, as well.

The most recent report is one entitled High School: A Report on Secondary Education in America, released by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. This study paints a lackluster picture of American high schools. It reports that classes are at times inspired, occasionally dreadful, and most often routine. The most revealing finding of this study is that there is a kind of unwritten, unspoken contract between the teachers and the students: "Keep off my back and I'll keep off yours." Hence, very little quality education occurs.

The recommendations coming out of this report took the form of a twelvepoint agenda. The most important was this: "All students should master oral and written English and should be tested before they enter high school to make sure that they are proficient in the subject."

What are the implications of these studies for young Blacks? First of all, if public education is in trouble, then the education of Blacks is at crisis level.

Blacks comprise some 27% of the nation's public school enrollment and with rising birth rates, could make up one-third by 1990. It has been reported that 30% of all 18 year-olds in this Continued on Page 30

country are functionally illiterate.

With Black youth that figure hovers around 47.2%. Put in other terms, almost half of Black youth 18 years of age are educationally crippled.

The point of this commentary is simply to state — but to state as forcefully as I can — that Black people cannot give up on education. However bleak the picture — whatever the quality of the product being dispensed — we must get as much of it as we can for as long as we can. The Go To High School — Go To College slogan of our Fraternity in the thirties did make a difference. We see men who took that admonition seriously; today they are our leaders, our scholars, our rolemodels. If need be, we must return to a national campaign to have Black youngsters see the ultimate and the unequivocal necessity for an education.

Education is the anecdote to ignornance. Intelligent people know better

Let's Halt the Erosion of Black Land Ownership Robert S. Browne Some of our young people never tire of pointing out that American Blacks constitute the only major ethnic group which claims no identifiable land base, a deficiency which they (and others) suggest may have something to do with our second class status and much to do with our chances of survival in a crunch. Although there may be some overtones of alarmism and more than a hint of Black nationalism in such observations, there is nonetheless sufficient truth to give pause to the thoughtful.

That Blacks, as a group, have no land base is, of course, true. Not surprisingly. As a group, as a community, Blacks have no corporate existence. We have no nationality peculiar to ourselves, nor do we exercise sovereignty as a community — arguably, one of our most serious handicaps. We have no homeland but are, rather, a part of the great American melting pot — although not really melted. Is there an inherent vulnerability in such a situation?

We will not argue that issue in this essay. It is a topic which has recurred periodically during the Black experience in North America, invariably 30

skills which will place them in line for jobs and security and for worthwhile citizenship. For education causes us to live at a level higher than the law of the jungle. Education is the key to our race's moving ahead economically, socially, politically — however you wish to look at this society.

Arthur Ashe, former tennis great, once wrote a letter to Black parents which appeared in the New York Times. He ended it with these words: "111 never forget how proud my grandmother was when I graduated from UCLA in 1966. Never mind the Davis Cup, the Wimbledon title, Forest Hills.

To this day she still doesn't know what those names mean. What mattered to her was that of her more than 30 children and grandchildren, I was the first to be graduated from college.

Somehow, that made up for those floors she scrubbed all those years."

Youth — wherever you are — do not turn your back on EDUCATION. O during World War II. By 1940, the 15 million acres formerly owned by Blacks had dropped to 12 million acres.

Then, in the early 1950s, there occurred in America a quantum jump in the mechanization of agriculture. Its counterpart was another surge of Black outmigration from the South — a "push" arising from the replacement of hand labor by machinery, and a "pull" arising from the growing numbers of factory and service jobs in the prospering North. By the late sixties, Black land ownership had dropped below 6 million acres.

It was about this time that some Blacks began to take note of this drastic decline in Black ownership of this important asset. Did it make sense for Blacks to dispose of all of their rural real estate, thereby cutting their link with the regenerative process, with the production of food, with their longtime heritage in North America?

What were the implications of a totally urbanized population, one which had lost its intimacy with the ground, with that mysterious life-giving and lifeabsorbing substance which constitutes at once both the source and the destiny of mankind? Land owning has traditionally been associated with power; did the decline of Black land ownership prefigure, or reflect, a decline in Black power? How about the economic aspects of this massive transformation in the form of Black wealth? And how were blacks losing their land — voluntarily or involuntarily?

fa

generating animated discussion but little resolution beyond a realization that revolutionary change in the status quo stands little chance of achievement (even were it to be widely desired).

Rather, we wish merely to call attention to the paradox that at the very moment Black youth were decrying the lack of a Black territorial base, their parents were divesting themselves of the land holdings which they did have, and at a dizzying rate.

At the turn of the century, Blacks owned, wholly or in part, nearly 15 million acres of land — principally southern rural land. This property had been acquired through the sweat and toil of freed slaves and their offspring, through the arduous saving of nickels and dimes, and usually in the face of overt hostility from the southern whites. The Black community was then 75% rural and was characterized by the extended family and by a healthy range of thriving Black (segregated) institutions.

World War I brought in its wake a heavy migration of Blacks to the cities of the north, and following a slight reversal of this trend during the depression years, this migration peaked again

A great deal has been learned on these topics in these past 15 years. For one thing, we have a clearer idea of the magnitude of the problem, which is both better and worse than had been anticipated. The loss continues apace.

During the 10 years 1969-1978 Blacks lost 57 percent of their active farmland base - down from 133,000 operating farms comprised of 6.2 million acres to 57,000 farms on 4.2 million acres. The two million acres lost is conservatively valued at $1 billion. These figures come to us from the Census of Agriculture, however, which does not include in its count farmland which produces an annual income of less than $1,000.

"During the ten years, 1969-79, Blacks lost 57% of their active farmland . . . valued at $1 billion."

A private research group, the Emergency Land Fund, has done a sample study of Black land ownership which catches the idle and less productively used acreage which often typifies Black owned land, and from their study they place the number of individual Black land owners at 1.6 million, with title or access to as many as 9.5 million acres.

This idle and underutilized land in the hands of Black people constitutes an asset of significant value if a means could be found to put it to good use.

On the other hand, it is an asset which will continue to slip from our control unless a concerted effort is made to retain it and to render it productive.

Research has disclosed that much of the land lost to Blacks is lost involuntarily: via tax sales, partition sales and foreclosure sales. In most cases of tax and partition sales, and in many foreclosure sales, the real causes of the sales derive from neglect on the part of the owning family or from chicanery on the part of local whites, or both.

Because taxes on rural southern land are generally quite low, their payment rarely constitutes a major burden except for the most destitute of land owners.

Tax delinquency is more likely to arise from the fact that the Black owner has moved to the city and has failed to make the necessary annual remittance.

Southern white tax assessors have little incentive to exert themselves to locate The Sphinx / Winter 1983

absentee delinquent Black land owners and eventually their land is sold for taxes, often to local knowledgeable whites who have been attentively monitoring the situation, including sometimes the tax assessor himself.

As owners die off and title to the land is passed on to heirs, legal complications often arise, especially if no will was prepared. Ownership of the land becomes diffused among relatives scattered across the country who are often not in close communication and perhaps not even on good terms with one another. This opens up possibilities for outsiders to interfere and precipitate a partition sale, leading to loss of the land for a token sum. As for foreclosure sales, they may, of course, come about because the owner is just not in a position to keep up his mortgage payments. Frequently, however, it has been discovered that the lender has taken advantage of the ignorance or the financial desperation of the owner and locked him into a mortgage which merits challenge in a court of law.

Research has also disclosed a number of cases of Blacks losing their land by "adverse possession," perhaps the most blatant method of land stealing. In many states, if an individual physically occupies a piece of property and his occupancy goes unchallenged for a specified number of years he may thereby acquire legal title to it. Anyone can literally "swallow" adjoining idle land by moving his fence over and treating the land as his own over a prolonged period of time, so long as no objection is raised.

Many Blacks have learned to their dismay that land which they thought was "in the family" has been lost merely because no one in the family took the responsibility to look after it. Much of this land has been lost irretrievably; in some cases it can be regained but only at considerable legal expense. We should like to propose that every Black who has reason to believe that his family has an ownership interest in some real estate make a promise to himself that he will, 1984, at least verify the legal and tax status of the property. If Aunt Susie is supposed to be looking after it, call her and find out if all the papers are in order. Ask to see them. If possible, visit the property to ensure that no one is using it without proper authorization. If there are problems, try contacting the Emergency Land Fund. (564 Lee Street, S.W., Atlanta, GA 30310). If the land is idle, think about whether it might be made productive.

There are a number of ways in which this latter might be done, depending on the location of the land and its nature.

One possibility might be to grow timber on it. The Department of Agriculture can help here, and in some regions the giant paper companies will lease one's land for such purposes, or will assist the owner to create a timber farm and agree to cut and purchase the timber produced. There may be other possibilities.

What is clear is that there is a fixed amount of land in the world, so it doesn't hurt to own a piece of it. An idle asset represents a cost to the owner, however, so it behooves him to turn it into a productive asset if it is at all possible. For too long Blacks have neglected their land holdings, perhaps because we have been too busy becoming urbanized, educated, sophisticated, and as far removed as we could from our land-oriented, slavery origin. But our urbanity has now been sufficiently established. Indeed, we have become urban almost to a fault. It is time to consolidate our position and to seek a bit of balance. Before nature's most valuable asset is totally lost to us (and

"Before nature's most valuable asset is totally lost to us, we need to salvage our linkage to the land." if present trends are maintained well be a virtually landless people before the end of the century) we need to get up off our fannies and salvage some linkage to the land. So long as we continue to remain a highly statusconscious people, we should at least try to develop a tradition of judging our own and our associates' status by wealth rather than by income, by assets owned rather than by assets consumed. Our Black value system must be modified so that ownership of productive assets, such as a few acres of active land, confers as much status as the driving of a flashy, high priced car, the giving of excessively layish parties, or other forms of conspicuous consumption.

Outshining one's neighbors by purchasing some overpriced bauble may provide one with greater momentary gratification and acclaim, but the land is likely to bring longer lasting and deeper rewards. And land doesn't wear out, get stolen, nor go out of style, Q 31

Feedback Academic Exploitation Of College Athletes

Letters in response to previous "Commentary" columns.

Recently I received a survey form seeking information about my convictions relative to National Collegiate Athletic Association Rule 48. As I looked over the form, it became obvious to me that it would not be possible to convey my feelings by simply marking "Yes" or "No" or "I agree" or "disagree." As a result, a written response was submitted. Because this response was somewhat different from those that I have seen or heard in the media, I concluded that it might be worthy of public consideration.

It is my sincere belief that NCAA Rule 48 is a farce. It is a ploy to deceive the public about the true academic problems experienced by athletes at some universities in this country.

When it became public knowledge that many athletic programs flourished through the exploitation of some of their outstanding athletes, it became necessary in the eyes of many coaches and administrators to do something to improve the tarnished image of NCAA.

Make no mistake about it, the academic problems experienced by many athletes are real and should have been resolved long before NCAA became involved. Many young people were athletically exploited for four years and were then kicked out with no acquired academic skills. This problem could not have occurred without the approval and cooperation of the coaches and administrations at these institutions.

The records indicate that many athletes were permitted and / o r advised to follow "Mickey Mouse" courses of study: programs devised to keep the students eligible for participation in the athletic programs but offering them little or nothing toward academic development or advancement toward a college degree.

All colleges have academic standards and regulations. Included among them are standards for admitting and retaining students. The athletic problem emanates from the failure to enforce

these standards when some athletes were involved. NCAA Rule 48 is not needed, was not needed, and should never have been considered.

If administrators, coaches, boards of trustees, and regents were to demand enforcement of regulations, a positive ripple effect would result. The academically unprepared student athlete would not be admitted to the university no matter how good he was on the athletic field. This movement would result in a more positive attitude about academics for and by student athletes during the high school years. Subsequently, (he high school athlete becomes better, academically speaking. Such an outcome would be better for sports, better for academic institutions, better for the nation, and most of all, better for the student athlete. Is this not the rationale for establishing institutions of learning? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Thomas W.

MB An era ends as Brother JOHN Q. TAYLOR KING, a Life Member, retired from the U.S. Army Reserve on August The Sphinx / Winter 1983

Brother General John Q. Taylor King 22, 1983 after serving almost forty-one years of Active Army and Reserve service. Brother King retired as Chief of Public Affairs, Office of the Secretary of the Army.

Over three-hundred friends and associates turned out to pay tribute to General King at a special retirement ceremony held at Camp Maybry in Austin. This included over twenty-five Alpha Brothers who paid a special tribute to Brother King as they presented him with a plaque. He also received recognition from many other civic organizations which included presentations from the Governor's office, the City of Austin, Travis County, and the United States Government.

EAST glassboro state u Nu Iota hosts College Brothers The Brothers of Nu Iota Chapter extend cordial greetings to all our distinguished Brothers in Alphadom.

NI has just finished hosting the successful New Jersey College Brothers' Affairs Alpha Summit 11. This daylong gathering featured seminars and workshops, a public program, and a college Brothers' caucus.

"We addressed matters of concern and offered assistance to Brothers in developing skills needed to secure the future of Alpha Phi Alpha," said Nu Iota's Phillip L. Jackson, Jr., Program Chairman and Director of N.J.'s College Brothers' Affairs Committee.

During the public program, Congressman William Gray of Philadelphia discussed the role of Blacks in politics. Kirk L. Bowen, immediate past Assistant Vice President of the Eastern Region and Plainfield, N.J. Mayor Everett Lattimore also spoke at the summit. Gray, Bowen and Lattimore are Alphamen.

In the evening, it was a bond between the best when Nu Iota and Alpha Kappa Alpha's Lambda Rho Chapter sponsored a "South Jersey Disco Explosion."

Brothers and sisters near and far converged on Glassboro State College for this beyond fair affair.

Two weeks before Summit II, the Brothers gave their annual neophyte recognition program.

This four-year old event was started

by GSC's Alphamen "first of all" to recognize neophyte members of the college's Black Greek-letter organizations.

The candlelight ceremony included poetic readings and a musical selection.

Philadelphia TV newscaster Gary Majors was a guest speaker.

Majors, an Alpha neophyte himself, spoke of the challenge ahead for members of all fraternities and sororities. He said, "Whatever you do . . . it's in your hands."

A party that night drew about 1,600 people. Proceeds from this fundraiser enabled the "servants of all" to supply Thanksgiving dinners to 10 needy local families and host a Christmas party for disadvantaged area youth.

In other Alpha news, Chapter Treasurer Shawn L. Carpenter, a sophomore accounting student, was bestowed Nu Iota's first "Brother of the Month" honor. This award recognizes Brothers for their continuous stand in

the forefront of collegiate and community activities.

And, of course, our Founder's Day celebration was in the true spirit of the Black and Gold. We invited family and friends to a formal Sunday brunch.

The invitation-only affair featured Brother Jerry Martin as keynote speaker. Brothers from more than a half dozen chapters participated in the program.

As you can see, Nu Iota Chapter is upholding the ideals of our seven visionary founders. Goodwill is the monarch of this house and we invite any Brothers who happen to be in the area to stop in.

The doors of this house are always open.

Connecticut Eta Alpha Lambda reactivates Zeta Chapter Greetings Brothers from Eta Alpha Lambda Chapter of New Haven. Since we have not reported recently, we just want to let the Brothers know that our chapter is strong and is meeting the mandates and challenges of Alpha Phi Alpha.

This year the chapter is being guided by the following officers: Logan Hill, President; Clinton Robinson, Vice President; Eugene Kenny, Treasurer; Richard Pierce, Secretary; Carlton Van, Corresponding Secretary; Micheal Burgess, Editor-to-the-Sphinx; Henry Rhodes, Dean of Pledges; Wiley Bowling, Chaplain; and George Conquest, Parliamentarian.

The Brothers of Eta Alpha Lambda celebrated our Founder's Day with a Founder's Day Breakfast on Sunday, December 5, at a local Black-owned restaurant in New Haven. We then attended church at the Black Church of Yale on Yale University Campus. The sermon was delivered by our own Brother Rev. Jeffrey Ingraham. An inspiring history and goals of our chapter and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity was delivered by Brother Cliff Caldwell. It was at this gathering that several young men of Yale saw the light and established an A-Phi-A interest group. This also led to a Yale smoker and the eventual establishing of a pledge line in the spring of the year.

In May, the Brothers of Eta Alpha Lambda initiated nine outstanding The Sphinx/Winter 1983

young men of Yale. With this accomplishment, the Zeta Chapter was reactivated. These nine new Brothers are returning this fall with strength in numbers and enthusiasm to carry out the high ideals of scholarship, college and community services. Much support and guidance will be provided by Eta Alpha Lambda. You will be hearing a lot from the Brothers at Zeta Chapter in the future.

In March our annual Scholarship Dince was held in New Haven with the R&B duet, Peaches and Herb, as the main entertainment. This affair was both a financial and social success (700 attended) and continued to establish this event as the social function of New Haven. Funds generated from this and previous dances are used to award academic excellence for graduating seniors of the Greater New Haven high schools. This year Eta Alpha Lambda awarded six scholarships. Each recipient ranked in the top 10 percentile of their class. We also gave three awards to graduating sons and daughters of active Brothers in the chapter. This year these recipients were also academic scholars at their schools. From the scholarship funds, scholarships were used to support 10 students at the Dixwell Creative Arts Studio of New Haven.

Eta Alpha Chapter completed its $500 Life Membership commitment to NAACP this past May. Also at the Annual NAACP Dinner, Alpha presented their scholarship recipients.

Eta Alpha Lambda has been instrumental in starting the Pan-Hellenic Council of New Haven. This organization will make major contributions in the community and will play a significant role in establishing better relationships between Greeks and the Black community.

Brother Edward White, President of the local NAACP has declared his candidacy for Mayor of New Haven. We wish him luck and have pledged individual support for his campaign.

This summer a retreat was held at Brother Wiley Bolwing's home to assess last year's performance and chart this fraternal year's goals and objectives. This was also a time for frank discussions on Brothers' concerns on where Alpha is going and our impact on community and national issues. A strategy for community and political activities was developed. This was an exciting affair that was culminated with a picnic with our wives.

We have just begun I The thrust for our chapter is and will be â&#x20AC;&#x201D; commu-

maryland lota Alpha Lambda sponsors Youth Career Day Conference Iota Alpha Lambda Chapter conducted a variety of community-focused programs during 1983. On May 15, IAL provided a checkpoint, rest and refreshments stop along the 30-kilometer route of the Harford and Cecil Counties Sickle Cell Anemia Walk-A-Thon.

Brothers Donald Fielder, Van Jones, James Brewer, Martin Carpenter and Lehman Spry performed key roles in this effort which resulted in $11,000 in pledges collected by 550 walkers. Tim Waters, a 1983 graduate with a 3.5 average at C. Milton Wright High School in Bel Air, MD, was awarded IAL's Donald J. Waldon Memorial Scholarship during an awards assembly at his school in May. The scholarship covers tuition, fees, and books for a two-year period at Harford Community College. During August 1983 IAL provided free bus transportation and tickets to a Baltimore Orioles night baseball game for underprivileged boys from Aberdeen's Washington Park subdivision. Brothers Willie Clark, Donald Fielder, Francis Harris, Brady Johnson and Van Jones accompanied 39 boys on this trip. From September 8-11, the Perry Point Veterans Administration Hospital in Cecil County conducted Golden Age Days activities.

This event was attended by competitive teams of over age 55 hospitalized veterans from throughout the U.S. Brothers Van Jones, Bartha Moore, Brady Johnson and John Smith assisted veterans who participated in a variety of events such as shuffleboard, checkers, chess, and card games. On October 15, IAL Education Committee chaired by Brother Francis Harris, was principal coordinator of. a Youth Career Day Conference held at Aberdeen High School in Aberdeen, MD. This event was attended by 113 individuals and 33 representatives from colleges, businesses and governmental units. Dr. Kirby 41

Our programs for the coming year will include a Political Action Program and local, county, and state blood programs, in which we continue our contributions to the Essex County Blood Bank. A Halloween party for handicapped children; support of Boys' Club and Community Center of the Arts activities; career counseling, in which we will continue our efforts to aid in the counseling of students; Founder's Day Program, where we will pay homage to our Founders; and our annual program which will feature:

The Lt. Col. George B. Warren Award â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This award is given annually at Essex County College to the highest ranking Black senior student in R.O.T.C. at Seton Hall University or the New Jersery Institute of Technology for excellence in Military or Air Science.

The A. Sidney Johnson-Arthur C. Williams Award â&#x20AC;&#x201D; This award is given annually at Essex County College to the highest ranking Black student in Science. This award is named in honor of Brother A. Sidney Johnson, Treasurer of Alpha Alpha Lambda and the late Brother Arthur C. Williams, former Secretary of Alpha Alpha Lambda Chapter in recognition of their years of service to the chapter, the Fraternity and the community.

We will also continue with our Investment Program which is already in force. To fund these programs, we will have at least two fund raising affairs. The first, held December 10, 1983 at the prestigious Manor Restaurant located in West Orange, N.J., is our annual Scholarship Fund Raising Formal Dinner Dance. The Manor has been widely acclaimed for the excellence of its cuisine and its superb ambience.

This affair has proven to be the centerpiece of the holiday social scene in Essex County. The affair is being chaired by Brother Jim Dave Wilson, with the able assistance of Brother Marvin McCurtis and Brother Cecil Cates. The second affair will be the Caribbean Cruise Dance. The Caribbean Cruise Dance, recently revived, has been a social success due to its inter-

We believe that the Caribbean Cruise Dance will also become a very salient part of the Spring social schedule. We invite all of the Brothers within our Fraternal Universe to join us at these two affairs.

Alpha Alpha Lambda has added another facet to its year's program.

That being support of the local outlets of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. We in the chapter feel that it is important that we aid this broadcasting outlet inasmuch as it has done so much to present Blacks in a positive light and as one of the few outlets to present Black creative expression. Our support will be two-fold: Participating in periodic fund raising drives of Station WNET Channel 13; and a chapter contribution to the station.

Alpha Alpha Lambda took an active part in the most recent General Convention held in New Orleans. Our representatives were Brothers Cecil Cates, James Carter, Verner Henry, A. Sidney Johnson, Warren Sherwood and Jim Dave Wilson. Congratulations to Brother Wilson for being appointed to the National Budget Committee. It is a well-deserved appointment. Brother Cecil Cates, who is an officer in the 78th Division (Jersey Lightning) U.S. Army Reserve, was recently commended for his unit's performance at summer camp and at the annual A.G. inspection. Brother A. Sidney Johnson was a participant in the 50th anniversary reunion of Wilberforce University. The gala reunion was held in Chicago. To look at Brother Johnson, it is hard to believe that he is 50 years out of college. We assume that he graduated during puberty. Brother Troy The Sphinx/Winter 1983

Brother Baker, who works with the college brothers chapter at New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark, New Jersey, also is an advisor to the Explorer Post sponsored by Western Electric.

Alpha Alpha Lambda was represented at the C.O.G. kickoff fund raiser held at the Peppermint Lounge, Orange, N.J. C.O.G. is the Coalition of Greeks for more Black representation in the State of New Jersey. Present for the chapter were Brothers Richard Cooke, Troy Baker, Ray Hicks, Carlisle Parker, James Carter and Jim Dave Wilson.

Brother Warren Sherwood hosted a cook-out at his Montclair home for Brother Major Charles Young, who has been transferred from Walter Reed Army Hospital to Ft. Dix, N.J. Brother Young was the first Black social work student to train at the V.A. Hospital in Madison, Wisconsin, and he is expected to affiliate with Alpha Alpha Lambda.

Alpha Alpha Lambda Chapter was also represented at the "March on Washington" by Brothers Ray Hicks and James Carter. It was exciting and thrilling to see so many of our Alpha Brothers taking part in this historic event. On a more sober plane, the March speakers pointed out graphically that while much has been done during the previous 20 years, even more remains to be done. It is in this spirit that Alpha Alpha Lambda Chapter, as an integral part of the State, Regional and National Organization, will continue the struggle.

OLA holds annual Spring Affair On Saturday, May 14, 1983, the Brothers of Omicron Lambda Alpha Chapter held the annual Spring Affair at the Silver Spring Holiday Inn. The affair was stupendous, as usual, with enough interesting and entertaining activities to start the affair off on a high note and maintain the feeling throughout the evening.

The program was launched with the welcoming of all Brothers and their guests by members of the OLA Social Committee and the OLA Sphinx Club.

The invocation followed, splendidly done by Brother Bruce Alston. Afterwards, a three-course dinner was served, complete with fruit cocktail, salad entree, baked chicken, vegetables, and dessert.

The affair continued by flowing onward into its Fashion Show. The Fashion Show was eye-catching, to say the least; displaying "dress as you feel" fashions for Spring and Summer, 1983.

One of the models in the show was Brother Marshall Titus of the Howard University School of Dentistry. From this point, the program rolled into its stand-up comedy session, performed brilliantly by Brother Rico Walker of Beta Chapter. Brother Walker performs his act in various nightclubs in the Washington area and treated the Brothers with a very fine performance on this occasion with his satire about life in D.C. Immediately following the performance, the drawing of the OLA Spring Raffle began. In March of this year our chapter commenced a Spring Raffle, for which all proceeds would go to Alpha's Million Dollar Fund Drive.

First prize in the raffle was a Commodore VIC-20 Home Computer. This was won by 5-year-old Kahlil Jamaal of Washington, D.C. Following the raffle, as a gesture of our appreciation and respect, the Brothers of OLA presented to Brother James Brown the Omicron Lambda Alpha Salute to Service Award for 10 years of Meritorious Service as Treasurer of our chapter. All Brothers present at the affair were then called to the floor to partake in an inspired singing of the Alpha Hymn. After the hymn, our disco was kicked off, with the Brothers and their guests happily 43

dancing the rest of the night away.

And so the OLA Spring Affair ended on the same high note as it had begun.

Proceeds obtained via this event will go to both the Million Dollar Fund Drive and the Omicron Lambda Alpha Scholarship Fund. This affair is only an example of how OLA has and shall continue to hold up the light of A-Phi-A.

Virginia Delta Beta Lambda joins March On Washington Members of Delta Beta Lambda Chapter, Hampton, Va., their wives and guests were among the estimated 250,000 marchers who converged on the nation's capitol August 27 to participate in the 20th Anniversary Commemorative March for Jobs, Peace and Freedom.

In keeping with the spirit of the historic 1963 march, led by the late Brother Martin Luther King, Jr., the Brothers of Delta Beta Lambda joined General President Ozell Sutton and about 400 other Alphas who answered the call in support of this major civil rights event.

Delta Beta Lambda was also instrumental in helping to organize local area plans for community support of the march. In fact, the chapter was the only fraternal organization to mobilize its membership for group participation in this event.

We were honored with a presentation by Brother Charles Teamer. Since Alpha is going through a period of transition, he spoke excitingly about the direction in which he would like to see Alpha move. He expounded on four points he thought would move Alpha in that direction. Brother Teamer felt that Alpha should restructure and strengthen its body from a corporate level, adopt a realistic program of communication, reclamation, and program administration. He indicated that if elected to the presidency, he would involve the college Brothers in the workings of the Fraternity on the national level.

The chapter would like to also bid farewell to a large group of graduates ready to spread the Alpha influence throughout the world. They were Brothers Keith Dennis, Joe Fleming, Jeff Cohn, Levi Moore, Brian Smith, Daryl Williams, and Darryl Young.

We wish them well in all their endeavors and are sure their impact will be felt and heard soon.

The officers for the 1983-84 academic year are Brothers Michael R. Sykes, President and Chaplain; Kevin R. Mott, 1st Vice President and Dean of Pledges; Daryl A.

August 28, 1983 marked the third year since the cross burning at the house of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity here on the campus of Purdue University. Such an act of racism cannot and shall not go unnoticed.

With unity, peace and love we can live in perfect harmony.

On September 8, 8, and 10 the Brotherhood, in conjunction with Sigma Phi Epsilon and the Acacia Fraternities, sponsored our second annual "Ebony & Ivory" Weekend.

The Sphinx/Winter 1983

Since its origin here, we are glad to see that it has spread to other chapters.

Our festivities began on September 8 with a Unity Rally. Faculty, state and city administrators, and members from each fraternity spoke on the theme: "United We Progress, Divided We Regress." On September 9 and 10 the entire campus was invited to attend our Ebony & Ivory Unity Dances.

There was an added attraction to our first dance, the Ebony & Ivory Step Show featuring Alpha Phi Alpha, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and Acacia Fraternities. The ardent work of the Brotherhood and great participation from the campus, community and visiting Brothers from the region enabled us to make another contribution to the Million Dollar Fund Drive.

On October 24-27, the Brotherhood will be engaged in the first of its many service projects. Working with the March of Dimes of the greater Lafayette area, we will volunteer our time to supervise children and adults in a haunted house. All proceeds from the event will go to the March of Dimes to fight birth defects.

In closing, we invite all chapters to correspond with us regularly. We, the Brothers of Gamma Rho Chapter, are supportive of all your endeavors.

boll stote university Theta Xi promotes Brotherhood Once again the Brothers of Theta Xi have demonstrated a Greek brotherhood by participating in Delta Tau Delta's annual festivities. By doing so, we became the first Black Greek organization to ever do so. Our participation was received with great enthusiasm, in the form of standing ovations by those in attendance and we received a special invitation to participate in their festivities again next fall.

Demonstrating unity, we once again participated in the Delta Sigma Theta's annual Jabborwock line competition in which we won first place.

We are presently hard at work promoting our 2nd annual Ebony and Ivory unity dance, with the white fraternity, Alpha Tau Omega. The proceeds of our dance will go to Multiple Sclerosis, United Negro College Fund, and the Rayford W. Logan Scholarship Fund. We also held a successful 77th Founder's Day weekend.

Our future goals include a tribute to our late great Brother Martin Luther King, Jr. In recognition of his birthday 48

being accepted as a national holiday, we have included a poem dedicated to our Brother Dr. King from our Brother Prentis Turange.

LAND OF ALPHA In the sea of darkness there exists a place, which few have seen before, so listen now as I take you there.

The journey is long and filled with many perils of pain and knowledge.

Those weak of heart have turned about, but worry not for they shall find (shelter) in lower lands. So let us continue our journey upward toward the light.

My fellow Brother once had a dream, that we would one day (overcome) and reach the land of light, but that be no longer a dream. For behold, we have at long last arrived in the promised land.

Free (of the Dark) at last, Free (of the Dark) at last, Thank God Almighty, we are Free (of the Dark) at last.

Welcome my Brothers to the Land of Alpha!!

Koppo Chapter outlines successful year Greetings to the Brotherhood of Alpha! After a long absence, Kappa Chapter at the Ohio State University has again come into the House of Alpha.

The Brothers of Kappa Chapter are back and shining the true Alpha spirit more than ever. Although Ohio State is enormous, we have successfully touched base with the needs of the OSU student community.

Specifically, during the fall quarter of 1982, the Brothers sponsored "Black Homecoming" during the university's homecoming activities. This project was undertaken to encourage more participation by the Black student population in OSU's homecoming festivities. A contest was also held to crown the "Miss Black OSU Homecoming Queen." Thirty ladies participated and three (the queen and her two runners-up) were awarded scholarships at the Alpha Phi Alpha Homecoming Dance. Both the contest and the dance were a success in terms of attendance and rallying spirit from the Black student population at OSU. The Brothers also participated in the OSU Homecoming Parade and the President of the chapter served as the minority liaison for the OSU homecoming activities.

Other activities during the fall quarter included a Halloween party for the orphans of central Ohio and our annual fall smoker in November. The Brothers also won the first place trophy for having the largest number of participants in the UNCF Phon-A-Thon, sponsored by Ohio State's Office of Minority Affairs in late November.

Winter quarter proved to be just as challenging for the Brothers of Kappa Chapter. For instance, the Brothers sponsored a bus trip to Washington, D.C. on January 15, 1983 to commemorate the birthday celebration of the late Brother Martin Luther King, Jr. More than 160 OSU students and local residents participated in the bus trip

and march co-sponsored by the Office of Minority Affairs Student Advisory Council. In addition, during United Black World Week sponsored by the Office of Black Student Programs at Ohio State in celebration of Black History Month, the Brothers sponsored a Black Political Awareness Forum featuring panelists Brother William E. Nelson, Jr., Ph.D. professor of Political Science and Black studies at OSU; and Chairman of the Department of Black Studies, Brother I. Ray Miller, State Representative of Ohio; and Brother Jerry Hammond, Columbus City Councilman.

During the spring quarter, the Brothers celebrated "Alpha Week" during the week of April 22 - May 1.

Activities during this week included a "Brotherhood in Christ" worship service which kicked off the week, a "Dating Game," a forum entitled "Black on Black Conflict on OSU's Campus," and ending the week was a Black and Gold Dance and a Gospel Concert by the OSU Community Gospel Choir.

The Brothers also demonstrated their outstanding athletic prowess by making it to the semi-finals in the 11th Annual Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Basketball Tournament. The Brothers won the fourth place trophy out of 52 teams. Recently, the Brothers won first place in the Summer Intramural Basketball Tournament out of 64 teamsl All of the these activities were sponsored by an entirely neophyte chapter during the first half of the year. Specifically, the "Renaissance Ten" were initiated on March 13, 1982. These Brothers were so named because of the new life they brought to Kappa Chapter.

They are Brothers Trevor Coleman, Major Harris, Harvis Jenkins, Coleman Jordan, Craig Jordan, Lamont Moore, Donald O'Bryant, Gerald Prophett, Sidney Rhodes, and Danny White. The Brothers welcomed the initiation of five new Brothers, "The Pentagon of Power," on February 26, 1983. These Brothers are Ricky Bradley, Joseph Gray, Keith Herron, Darryl Hicks, and Timothy Johnson. The officers for 1983-84 are Brothers Gerald B. Prophett, President; Ricky Bradley, Vice President; Coleman Jordan, Treasurer; Joseph Gray, Recording Secretary; Lamont Moore, Corresponding Secretary; Darryl Hicks, Social Chairman; and Sidney Rhodes, Dean of Pledges.

The Brothers of Kappa Chapter will improve and sustain their service to OSU and the Columbus community.

umkc Delta Rho leads Kansas City March Greetings, the Brothers of Delta Rho Chapter, the University of MissouriKansas City, extend a sincere hello.

Delta Rho is very happy to present this report on their activities thus far for the school year 1983-84.

First of all, it would be appropriate to inform you of the new chapter officers. They are Brothers Kenneth Ellis, President; Douglas Shipley, Vice President; Harrel Johnson, Treasurer; Keith Rainey, Secretary; and Leon Watkins, Corresponding Secretary.

The Brothers of Delta Rho kicked off the new school year in true "Alpha style." They were participants in the Kansas City version of the 20th anniversary commemoratory march on Washington. The march took place Saturday, August 28 and covered a course of about three miles under a cloudless sky in 100-degree temperatures. The Brothers of Delta Rho made their presence known by not only participating in the march, but also leading the crowd in chants as they marched and making over 100 extra

signs for some of the 2,000 marchers to carry who didn't already have signs.

The next event took place October 12. The Brothers of Delta Rho cosponsored a blood drive on the campus of UMKC. It was through their efforts, along with cooperation from the Greater Kansas City Community Blood Center and the Pan Hellenic Council of UMKC, that over 70 pints of blood was collected. The Brothers unloaded and loaded equipment, registered donors, donated blood themselves and actually helped monitor individuals and blood during the donations. For these efforts Delta Rho received special recognition.

The chapter held a "canned food drive" party October 22 along with the women of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Delta Upsilon Chapter of UMKC. This party was very successful and netted an ample supply of canned goods for Kansas City's hungry. It was also the kickoff for a new bond between the Brothers of Delta Rho and the Sisters of Delta Upsilon. It was jointly decided as leaders in Greek life, on the campus and in the community, these two organizations should combine forces on certain community projects and events throughout the year. This relationship will present a very healthy, effective and positive image of what Black Greeks life is and can be like on the UMKC campus.

Halloween found the Brothers of Delta Rho and the Sisters of Delta Upsilon hosting a haunted house for the children of greater Kansas City. It

took place at the George W. Gates unit of the Boy's Club. The haunted house was free to all children and was geared for the children 3-13 years of age. It was advertised on the radio and written about in several of Kansas City's newspapers. Money to sponsor the event was raised by soliciting the business community of Kansas City.

Through this money, treats for the over 250 children who came were provided. These treats included not only the traditional candy, but also novelty items and puzzles donated by Hallmark Corporation. The money also went to scholarships in Alpha Phi Alpha's name which were set up at the Boy's Club. It was Delta Rho's aim to provide a safe and fun Halloween for children of greater Kansas City. And they were very successful.

Delta Rho will be accomplishing much more before this year is out.

These are just the first few months activities of the year. Keep a watch on the Midwest, especially Delta Rho for more of the same.

kentucky Alpha Lambda puts neophytes

to work Alpha Lambda extends fraternal greetings throughout the House of Alpha.

We take great pleasure at this time in presenting to the Brotherhood three Alpha Lambda neophytes, William A. Blount, Jr., Captain, U.S. Army; Robert L. McClain, policeman, U. of L.; and Garry Posey, R.Ph., initiated April 29, 1983. We anticipate invoking the neophyte clause as soon as possible.

Brother William Braxton was elected to a sixth term as President of Alpha Lambda; Elmer Lyles was elected Vice President; Robert Downs as Executive Secretary; and Robert McClain and Garry Posey, Corresponding and Recording Secretaries, respectively. As you can see, we waste no time at Alpha Lambda in putting neophytes to work.

Robert Orr was elected to a fourth term as Treasurer; Garry Spotts, Dean of Pledges; and Michael Cornelius, Edit o r-to- the-Sph inx.

In April a smoker was held at the Plymouth Community Center in Louisville where a buffet was prepared by Mr. George Spotts, former chief chef for the Louisville Hyatt Hotel. A sustaining membership was acquired in 50

the Chestnut St. YMCA serving minority youth. We also extended our participation in the NAACP Black Heritage Fund.

A Jazz-Cruise was sponsored by the chapter this summer aboard the Belle of Louisville steamboat on the Ohio river. Jazz musician Hank Crawford, a Brother, was the guest. A surprise step show was given by Alpha Pi, and as we say in Louisville, "it was all that . . . and more."

An Alpha booth was sponsored in the 46th Louisville Defender Exposition at the Louisville Convention Center.

The "Expo" attracts over ten thousand annually. For familiarity, the Louisville Defender is the only Black newspaper in Kentucky and was formally owned by Past General President Frank Stanley and now owned and operated by his son, Brother Kenneth Stanley.

Alpha Lambda continues to operate its local newsletter to the Brothers of the city which has been helpful in keeping the Brotherhood up to date on local, regional and national Fraternity news.

A group picture was requested of the Brotherhood from the management of the J. O. Blanton House where we have our regular business meetings, a 20-story senior citizen apartment complex named after one of the charter members of Alpha Lambda and financed with local Alpha funds to be hung in its main lobby. The structure is 10 years old.

missoun Beta Lambda's Fall Formal Beta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. presented its Fall Formal, Saturday, October 15, at Howard Johnsons, Kansas City, MO.

SOUTH florida a&m A prolific year for Beta Nu The Brothers of the Beta Nu Chapter at Florida A&M University extend their warmest greetings to the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha. During the 1982-83 academic year the Brothers of Beta Nu took part in a number of community projects which we would like to share with you at this time.

We had several activities with the Cub Scout organization at FAMU High which included a car wash to help them raise money for handbooks, marching with them in the FAMU High Homecoming Parade, and touring them through the Black Archives Museum on FAMU's campus. The Brothers are proud of our sweethearts who assisted us in entertaining and serving the residents of Miracle Hill Convalescent Home; tutoring students through our tutorial program which we coordinated with a church near campus; and having the initiative to implement a very successful Big Sister Program. We are also proud of our unselfish efforts in collecting $311 for the March of Dimes and $100 for the Black Archives Museum. During the spring semester we held university convocation with the Office of Religious Activities Center on campus to commemorate the birthday of Brother Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The 1982-83 academic year culminated with the initiation of twelve new Brothers: Michael Gay, Earl Taylor, Michael Atcherson, Patrick Hollis, Larry Howard, Fredrick E. Johnson II, Reginald Ike, Richard Clemmons, Kirkland Flournoy, Lewis Powell, Pierre Rutlidge, and Andre Batson; and our "Explosion Week" where we celebrated our chapter anniversary and which included our Ball of the Jewels, two seminars entitled 'The Miseducation of the African-American" and "Challenging Political Issues for the African-American in the '80s," a stomp show and a Polynesian luau and bash.

We, the Brothers of Beta Nu, also foresee the 1983-84 academic year as being a prolific one. To begin with, many of our Brothers hold key positions on campus. Lawrence Hughes is Vice President of the Delta Iota Chapter of Kappa Psi Fraternity, Inc.; The Sphinx / Winter 1983

Brian Greene is President of the FAMU Chapter NAACP; Aaron Williams is President of the Student American Pharmaceutical Association; Byron Williams is President of the Student National Pharmaceutical Association; Frank McGraw is President of the Respiratory Therapy Club; and Wilbur Gary is Chief of Staff of the Student Government Association.

Two representatives from our chapter gave a presentation at the state round-up on the duties and responsibilities of the Dean of Pledges which was based on the Model Pledge Program by Brother Moses G. Miles. On October 14 at our Homecoming Convocation we donated $100 on our $1,000 pledge to help FAMU reach its one million dollar Centennial Drive goal by 1987.

We have also implemented a weekly Black Awareness Drive in which biographical sketches of prominent African-Americans in our history are made known to our fellow students.

Other projects that we plan to pursue are donations to the NAACP, Sickle Cell Anemia, Tallahassee Urban League, UNCF, and a plaque for one of our past university presidents who was also a Brother.

Beta Nu continues to uphold the aims of our dear Fraternity. Scholarship is one that we always try to keep instilled in the minds of each Brother and we are proud that Beta Nu has the highest percentage of members with 3.0 g.p.a.'s or better among all fraternities on campus.

Albeit our Fraternity has always been on the upswing in progress, we have developed programs to improve our internal operations such as workshops on parliamentary procedures, pledge program, and Constitution, and a communication network of weekly chapter news to be distributed to Brothers which includes, as a highlight, the "Word of the Week" in order to augment Brotherhood and fraternal spirit among the Brothers, therefore, one might notice that we, the Brothers of Beta Nu, always strive to perpetuate the aims of our dear Fraternity not only in word, but in deed.

mississippi state u Kappa Beta: a new vision Greetings, Brothers in Alphadom.

Kappa Beta Chapter is located on the

campus of Mississippi State University in Starkville, Mississippi. Our officers for 1983-84 are Brothers Gregory Davis, President; Trygve Trosper, Secretary; Charles Jackson, Treasurer; Denver Queen, Dean of Pledges; Alfred Carter, Chaplain; R. T. Richardson, Historian; and John Quinn, Editor-tothe-Sphinx.

Along with the 1984 school year comes the Renaissance of Kappa Beta Chapter. We at Kappa Beta call it the birth of the 'Third Generation." The third generation is more of an idea than a physical being. This generation began with the end of the 1982-83 academic year.

On May 8, 9, and 10 of this year the chapter held its first strategic planning retreat in Biloxi, Mississippi. The executive committee of the chapter planned the activities and set goals for the coming year. An annual budget was prepared and the mission of the chapter was clearly defined. A file was developed containing all the retreat's records. The retreat file has a listing of the short and long-range plans for our chapter. This file has already greatly enhanced the quality of the programs and activities sponsored by Kappa Beta. We know it's only a beginning, but all success stories must start somewhere.

The idea of a chapter retreat really works. The first test of how effective our retreat file actually was began in June with Kappa Beta's first Leadership Development and Citizenship Education Workshop. Following the guidelines and spelled out in the retreat file, fifteen high school students participated in the workshop. The chapter sponsored a participant in the regional LD / CE institute at Benedict College in Columbia, S.C. Two Brothers from our chapter, along with our Advisor, also attended the regional institute.

Kappa Beta, like most chapters, has many ongoing service projects and programs. These projects include a voter registration / awareness campaign; drug abuse and teen pregnancy awareness programs; as well as a Big Brother/ Little Brother project.

Providing an appropriate social outlet for ourselves and other university students is an important role that our chapter performs. We continue to sponsor Greek shows, dances, our infamous "toga party," and our stellar attraction, 'The Miss Black and Gold Pageant." This semester we have visited other chapters in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Louisiana to see what other Brothers are doing and 51

to share ideas. Keeping in touch with the brotherhood to us means more than visiting chapters. It means attending Alpha meetings. Delegates from Kappa Beta have participated in all Alpha South meetings and functions as well as national meetings. We look forward to seeing all Brothers at the upcoming state, regional, and national conventions. As always, Kappa Beta extends an open welcome to any chapter who would like to visit.

There is an old proverb that goes, "Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail. "We believe careful and strategic planning will grant us a secure future. Planning, however, is a continuous process.

Because of this, we will be in Atlanta in May, recharting our course.

voorhees college Eta Iota shines the light at Voorhees The Brothers of Eta Iota Chapter extend a warm fraternal greeting to all our Brothers in Alphadom. We, the Mighty Men of Eta Iota, are forever holding Alpha high in our hearts in these troublesome times. Eta Iota is located at Voorhees College in Denmark, South Carolina. We sometimes refer to ourselves as being in the Land of Oz because little is known of us except by the few Brothers who stumble into these lonely South Carolina woods. Our chapter plans to pick up where we left off last year and continue to show the caliber of excellence so synonymous with Alpha.

The light of Alpha is bright as ever on our campus. The Brothers of Eta Iota have established a track record and legacy for forward progress in the area of human services and mankind.

For the past ten years, we have sponsored programs which have enlightened the intellect as well as the hearts of people touched by them. With a view toward acquainting the citizens of the community with the outstanding musical talent of Voorhees College students and to encourage promising young artists, we sponsored our annual "Preview of Stars of Tomorrow Contest" and Miss Black and Gold Pageant in November. For the last four years, our chapter, in conjunction with the counseling service at Voorhees College, has voluntarily participated and served as tutors for the tutorial service.

Being "First of All," has always been 52

The Brothers of Eta Iota, Voorhees College. the objective and goal of Eta Iota.

Since the founding of our chapter in 1971 by twelve modest young men, the majority of the student body presidents have been Alphas. Our chapter is planning big things in the future under the guidance of our Graduate Advisor, Brother Willie Jefferson. Plans for the school year consists of a Little Miss Alpha Contest for young girls between the ages of 6-9 years old, a Fall Smoker and our annual Founder's Day Program in December. Also as usual, we will sponsor a Thanksgiving basket for the needy and Christmas cards for the elderly. In order to assist people throughout the country, we adopted the American Cancer Society's Lung Cancer-Smoking Control Program.

With the assistance of Brother Martin Williams, Director of Denmark Mental Health Center, we provided information to the student body and community on the dangers of smoking, the benefits of quitting and tips on quitting for smokers. We also held group discussions in which we showed A.C.S. films and distributed self-help material to the general public.

The goals of our chapter have been set and the execution has begun. Plans for the spring quarter include a banquet with our lovely sorority sisters, the ladies of Eta Nu Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. In April we will celebrate Alpha Week during which we organize an assembly program and invite other Greek organizations to participate in a stomp show. This period is regarded as an awareness

week during which we enlighten the general public on our achievements and aspirations.

As you can see, the Brothers of Eta Iota are looking forward to a very productive year and we will continue to hold high the name of Alpha Phi Alpha. In the spring of 1983 one courageous Sphinxman marched onward and upward toward the light of Alpha, Brother Michael Austin. We would like to give special thanks to Brother John W. Hunter for his many years of service to our chapter. Brother Hunter has just departed us this past summer for a new teaching position.

We also would like to congratulate Brother Anthony Brother who is a summer of 1983 graduate and we wish him success in his future endeavors.

The Brothers of Eta Iota will continue to strive, both individually and collectively for excellence in the name of Alpha. Brother Godfrey Ekhomu, a President's List Student is Vice President of the Student Government Association. Brother Herbert L. Pittman is Vice President of Phi Beta Lambda (National Business Fraternity). In addition to the numerous Brothers in leadership positioins on campus. Brother Christopher Priester works with the yearbook staff as an assistant editor.

Eta Iota Chapter officers for 1983-84 school year are Brothers Christopher Priesten, President; Godfrey Ekhomu, Vice President; Herbert L. Pittman, Secretary/Treasurer; Michiael McMillian, Dean of Pledges; and Willie Jefferson, Graduate Advisor.

SOUTHWEST louisiana Beta lota Lambda holds Awards Banquet In a very impressive closed luncheon meeting held at the fashionable Boudreaux's Restaurant in Baton Rouge, Beta Iota Lambda Chapter ended the 1983 year with its annual Recognition Ceremony. The formal setting of the affiar gave an added dignity to the business at hand. There was a printed program, there was violin music, there was a Fraternity address and there was a delectable meal.

The speaker for the occasion was Brother Julius J. Payne, a professor in the Division of Biological Sciences at Southern University who spoke from the theme, "The Pride Of Our Hearts."

Having been initiated into the Fraternity through Beta Tau Chapter at Xavier University, he traced his years

of activity in the Fraternity and what it had meant to him. His remarks were inspiring to all in attendance.

The main event of the luncheon was the giving of awards to Brothers who had distinguished themselves in several categories over the 1982-83 year of the chapter. Prior to this luncheon, members of the chapter had been requested to nominate Brothers in the areas which the awards were to be given. The Brothers receiving plaques were: Alpha Man of the Year, Brother Henry Archie Young; Most Dedicated Brother, Brother Henry Bellaire; Most Outstanding Committee, the BudgetProgram Committee chaired by Brother Thomas J. Wilcox; Outstanding New Brother, Brother Stanley Mitchell; Brother Making Outstanding Contributions to the Community, Brother James J. Prestage; Presidential Award, Brother Henry A. Young.

The luncheon was an outstanding event in a year filled with many activities.

The committee for this affair was Brother Juan Jones, Chairman; Brothers Henry Bellaire, Raymond Floyd and Larry King, members.

The 1983-84 year has begun with a new slate of officers to lead the chapter. They are Brothers Washington, T. Taylor, President; Leroy Travis, Vice President; Larry King, Recording Secretary; Stanley Mitchell, Corresponding Secretary; Jack Jefferson, Financial Secretary; Juan Jones, Treasurer; Russell Ampey, Historian; Thomas J.

the elderly with plenty of fruit and candy and entertained them with a step show. Another activity was a voter registration drive in which we registered many Blacks on campus and in the community, because here at Sam Houston, we still believe that a "Voteless People Is A Hopeless People." Also for Thanksgiving we had our annual 'Thanks-give-away" dance

in which we gave away doorprizes and, with the help of local stores, plenty of dinners. We are also honored to have inducted the "Undisputed Champions," a line of five members, into Alphadom. The success of the program was due, primarily, to the assertiveness, and strong participation by all of the Brothers. By scoring high on the Alpha exam, they proved to us that they were studious and worthy of keeping Alpha Phi Alpha the "Undisputed Champions" on this campus.

For Christmas, we had our second annual shopping spree at a local supermarket. The first place winner was given thirty seconds to gather up all the food he possibly could. The second place winner received fifty dollars and the third place winner received a turkey. Some of the money we collected from the shopping spree went to the purchase of Christmas toys for the kids at a local day care center.

Outside of the chapter, the Brothers of Theta Mu continue to show the high standards and spirits of Alpha through leadership roles. Brother Gregory Townsend is President of the Black Greek Coaltion. Brother Carl Bradford is Vice President of the Black Student Union. As you can see, here at Sam Houston, the Brothers continue to move onward and upward toward the light. We would also like to wish all of our Brothers the very best in the upcoming new year.

As sponsor for the convention, the Brothers are engaged in activities for raising funds. The activities to date have been a dance held in North Dallas in August. A raffle was held in October with the lucky winner being awarded tickets for two to the Los Angeles Raider / Dallas Cowboy game and a pregame dinner for two at a local North Dallas restaurant.

The Brothers of Nu Phi Lambda would like at this time to encourage all Texas State Brothers to attend the State Convention which should prove to be a most interesting gathering.

The program consisted of the history of A-Phi-A, history of Gamma Eta Lambda, the Alpha prayer and motto, recital of poems, outstanding Alpha men past and present, singing of the Black National Anthem and the finale of the smoker was the singing of the Fraternity's hymn. The chapter also had displays of Fraternity parapheranalia.

Following the smoker, Brothers and guests socialized in a more relaxed area where refreshments, drinks, and music was provided. To highlight the "mixer," the Brothers of Epsilon Iota Chapter stepped. Gamma Eta Lambda would make information available on this successful event upon request.

southern methodist u lota Omicron is first in scholarship The Brothers of Iota Omicron Chapter at Southern Methodist University send you our fraternal greetings.

Iota Omicron has completed the rebirth stage of our "development in college life." We had the pleasure of initiating our newest neophyte, Brother Troy Stovall, who crossed the burning sands into Alphadom on the Spring 1983 line, 'The Lone Survivor."

After a relatively short period of inactivity, we are now proud to state that we are taking heed to the precepts and lofty ideals of Alpha, as was evidenced by the many outstanding achievements of the chapter as well as individual Brothers.

Iota Omicron sponsored and participated in numerous campus and community activities during the 1982-83 school year. The Brothers began the year by participating in the annual orientation for Black students. We also did several community service projects at nursing homes. One of the highlights of the year was our tribute to Brother Martin Luther King, Jr. Dr. L. Donald Shields, President of the university, and Rev. William Finnin, university Chaplain, were our special guest speakers. Dr. Shields commended the chapter for producing an excellent program. In continuing with a notable

texas Smoker/Mixer in Austin The Gamma Eta Lambda Chapter of Austin, Texas, held its first annual Smoker/Mixer on August 13, 1983.

This event was the first of its kind to be hosted by Gamma Eta Lambda. The chapter thought this event was such a success that it would like to share it with other graduate chapters and Brothers throughout "Alpha Land."

All known Brothers in the Austin vicinity received an invitation to this event. An invitation was also sent to known potential candidates seeking Alpha. The Brothers and potential candidates were encouraged to bring their spouse or guest so they would have a clearer view what Alpha and other Black Greek-letter organizations are and should be about.

The local graduate sister sorority (AKA) and the two undergraduate chapters (Delta and Epsilon Iota) of A-Phi-A also attended this event. Delta and Epsilon Iota Chapters participated on the Smoker/Mixer program. The attendance at this event was an overwhelming number of approximately 125 persons. As a result of the Smoker/ Mixer 15 impressed men showed further interest in Alpha by wanting to 56

On April 17, 1983 in the area comprised of North Houston and Huntsville, Texas some seventy-seven years later, Xi Eta Lambda's 19 Charter members were granted all rights and privileges within our dear Fraternity to continue not only the work outlined by our Jewels, but also to commit ourselves to advocacy, service, bridgebuilding and an open pluralistic integrated society.

Dedicated servants of all, we have also pledged to take on a mission of political purpose and economic action.

WEST son jose state u Epsilon Mu "Building an Empire" Greetings Brothers throughout the Alpha Kingdom from Epsilon Mu Chapter. We would like to take this opportunity to officially welcome the latest additions to our chapter, the line of Khalfani - "Destined to Rule." With the induction of these 14 Brothers, we are proud to announce that we are currently the largest fraternity on campus with 47 active members. Some might think that it is very difficult to function properly and effectively with so many members, but, because we are all dedicated Brothers, our jobs are very easy and productive.

Epsilon Mu Chapter, more respectively known on the West as the "E-M-pire," has a long-standing reputation for achieving excellence as can be exemplified by our many "steppin" championships. The Brothers here at EM castle take great pride in our community and our involvement in it.

With this in mind, we take great pride in inviting Brothers to attend the Western Regionals that will be held here in San Jose. If you are traveling from the East, then follow the light of Alpha directly to the E-M-pire. We promise that you will be entertained and amazed.

Because we have so many dedicated members working for us we have already been involved with various projects. Here are just a few of them: NAACP Local Youth Chapter; Michelob Tennis Tournament; City of San Jose Annual Juneteenth Festival, where we acted as security and put on some marching demonstrations; the "Light of the World" Freshman Book Scholarship; San Jose Hospital Blood Drive, where we passed on "the gift of life"; Delta Gamma "Splash Down" to raise money for charity; and donated boxes of clothes to Goodwill. These are just a few of the events that have already been completed. Upcoming events will

include taking underprivileged children to the San Jose State University Homecoming game and more clothes drives for Goodwill and the Salvation Army.

Project Olympus is still going strong. The Founder's Day celebration, EM's annual Halloween Ball, taking bags of candy to underprivileged children, and food collections are also planned.

I would like to take this time to introduce the new administration here at EM castle: Brothers Jeff Moore of the Ocboni line, President; Bobby Gasper, Vice President; Jeff Rollerson, Secretary; Larry Smith, Corresponding Secretary; Kevin White, Treasurer; Rodney Davis, Historian; Alton McGriff, Sgt.-At-Arms, all of the Khalfani line; Jeff Hutto of the Ashante line, and Larry Smith of the Khalfani line, Public Affairs.

As you can see from our administration the line of Khalfani was truly "Destined to Rule."

One final word, another member from Khalfani, Brother Chris McNealy, was taken in the second round of this year's NBA draft by the Kansas City Kings for the Chicago Bulls.

Brother McNealy. is currently on the verge of signing a multi-year deal with them for an undisclosed amount. Chris played three years of his career here at San Jose State after transferring from Santa Barbara Junior College. In three years at San Jose State he averaged 17.2 points per game and 9.5 rebounds per game.

California Zeta Beta Lambda installs new officers Some opportunities will venture forward and make their presence felt, other opportunities will sit there in a crowd; still others will embed themselves and cleverly hide. We in Zeta Beta Lambda need to grasp hold of opportunity where ever she is and whenever she shows up. I intend to give this chapter the type of leadership that will reach out and grasp opportunity in whatever form she appears."

These were the words of Irvin Gipson as he was installed as President of Zeta Beta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha for the next two years.

Other officers installed were Jacques Barber, Vice President; Clarence Roberts, Recording Secretary; William 59

Oregon Epsilon Zeta Lambda hosts College Prospective Seminar On October 7, 1983, more than 150 prospective college students crowded into the cafeteria of the Cascade Campus of Portland Community College to learn where to get money to go to college and how to get it. All of them were guests of the members of the Epsilon Zeta Lambda Chapter of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., who were hosts and guides for the evening.

The chapter also invited financial aid specialists from 11 colleges and universities, as well as experts from the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy, and the U.S. Air Force, to help students learn the "financial aid game" and how to make it work for them.

Students sat with their parents at long tables while the experts in finance ringed the room at small tables accessible for later question and answer periods. Football games and other Friday night entertainment took second place to students interested in how to obtain jobs, loans and grants to defray college expenses.

Willis Williams, acting as moderator, opened the program sympathetically, recognizing the stress families may feel in planning financial assistance for young adults wanting to go to college.

Galven Irvy, Vice President and Chairman of the seminar, introduced Dr. William Rieke, President of Pacific Lutheran University, the keynote speaker of the evening.

Brother Joseph Bowman introduced the four members of a panel of speakers 60

Galven Ivry, George Hendrix, and Willis Williams at Epsilon Zeta Lambda's College Prospective Seminar. who told the students, "If you have the will, we will help you find the way."

Panelists were Ollie M. Johnson of Portland Community College, who urged prospective students to fill out their scholarship applications early in January; Barbara Ward, a high school counselor, who urged the students to use the services of the school counselors; Tony Hopkins, also a high school counselor, explained "how to survive" in college (positive attitudes, participation in campus life, how to handle pressure from peers); and Ramel Moore of Portland State University, who told the high school students to work hard for grades in high school and then plan to "work even harder in college."

Students and their parents later swarmed around a dozen resource representatives from the University of Portland, Reed College, Lewis and Clark College, Cascade Community College, Portland State University, Pacific University, Concordia College, Oregon State University, University of Oregon, the Oregon Scholarship Commission, the Navy, the Army, and the Air Force.

Other members of Epsilon Zeta Lambda are Dr. T. A. Dennis; Earl Johnson, Chapter Historian; Dr. Clarence Pruitt, Sergeant-at-Arms; Dr. Edward Wards, Director of Education Activities; Harry Ward, Chaplain; Edward Waddy; Shelby Golden, Director of Sphinx Club; Judge Belton Hamilton, Jr.; Dr. Walter Reynolds; Senator William McCoy; Carl Diez, Treasurer; Willis Williams, Secretary; George Hendrix, President; and Wilson Walker, Editor-to-the-Sphinx.

son francisco state Xi Rho attains House of Alpha Xi Rho once again sends humble greetings to our distinguished Brothers in Alphadom. The school year has been very bright as Brothers led the way for many Black student activities on San Francisco State University's campus.

First and foremost we sponsored a forum entitled, "Students and Politics in '84," with the Honorable Brother Willie Brown, speaker of the assembly in the House of Representatives as the guest speaker. Also on that list was student president Derek Gilliam, student advocacy director Len Dawson, and legal referral director Brother Eugene Jones. Key points and vital issues were discussed about the internal problems the California State University & College system is facing. Brother Brown, who is a graduate of S.F.S.U. vowed to try and keep the fee hikes in California down; he will be facing stiff opposition. He also spoke of his days on this campus when he pledged into Alpha through Delta Omicron; the dominating undergraduate chapter at that time consisting of several schools.

It was a festive event as we retired to a beautiful room atop the student union for a reception that included special guests from the administration and faculty of the school.

Next on the agenda was a co-sponsorship with two other Black student organizations that brought the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan to our campus. He is the National Representative of the Honorable Elijah Muhammad and the Nation of Islam. He was very inspirational and a definite uplift to those students whose apathy was becoming overly apparent. His topics ranged from equality and justice for everyone, despite their nationality to using our education and knowledge to build a stronger community base. The majority of the students left the hall with a good feeling of working closer together in order to make better The Sphinx /Winter 1983

Lastly, we sponsored an on-campus concert for everyone featuring the world renown "Con Funk Shun." They performed many hits stemming from their many gold albums over the last seven years.

Xi Rho will be losing five Brothers to graduation this year including Brothers Wayne Jones, Harold Henderson, Eugene Jones, Michael Johnson, Richard Warren, with four out of five continuing on for higher degrees in Psychology and Law. Saving the best for last, Xi Rho is proud to announce the acquirement of

the latest Northern California Bay Area fraternity house. The opportunity arose in a location very near the campus and Brothers seized it. The house has nine bedrooms, a living room, dining room, as well as a patio.

Brothers escaped enormous fees by agreeing to paint the house ourselves showing the versatility of the chapter.

Xi Rho extends an invitation to any Brothers passing through the bay area to stop by and visit anytime. Our grand opening will be the hosting of the Annual Northern Cal MiniConference which will include Regional Vice President Norman Towels and Assistant Vice President Allen Herbert.
