editor's review Greetings . . . THE VEST BEST: Let me begin by directing your attention to this issue's features on Beta Epsilon and Zeta Psi Lambda chapters. It will not be difficult for you to see how they walked away with '84's top chapter honors. Certainly, their work holds high the aims and ideals of The Seven Jewels. . . COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT THEM: A special note of thanks to Brother Cecil Boston of Orlando, Florida for submitting the story on Rep. Alzo Reddick . . Thanks, too, are due Brother Marcus Neustader, who penned the article on Dillard University contained in our The Black Colleges' segment. . . THE LIVES OP GREAT MEN: It is always difficult, in Alpha Phi Alpha, to single out a Brother or group of Brothers for their outstanding contributions to the Fraternity and society. The real story of our Brotherhood is that in hundreds of communities, and on hundreds of college campuses, liv^s of great worth are to be found. The loss of any and all of these Brothers profoundly touches the close-knit bond of our Brotherhood. There is much sadness now, as we note the passing of two of Alpha's greatest - Dr. Arnold Wright and Brother Ramon Scruggs. Dr. Wright's story is multi-faceted, as attested in our Omega Chapter section, but it would be incomplete without including his valuable service as "mentor" to generations of Alpha men who passed through the halls of Kentucky State University - and the halls of Alpha conventions. His positive influence in the shaping of dedicated Alpha men will long be felt. Brother Scruggs was also a groundbreaker, proving for an entire race that one could move up the corporate ladder. We in Alpha Phi Alpha remember, as well, that he never lost hands-on contact with his Fraternity - using his success to forge corporate contacts for A-Phi-A. Our advertising and jobs fair programs stand today as a testament to that commitment. Many Alpha men feel a personal sense of loss with their passing from amongst us. The entire organization will suffer an even greater loss unless some Brothers step forward to carry on "beyond the call of duty", as did t h e y . . .AN EDITED VERSION: You'll note that some of our regular features are missing from this issue - due to time and budgetary constraints. We'll be back on track for the Spring 1985 edition - plus a whole lot more. . . ON THE ROAD: In my recent travels, I've had the opportunity to meet a number of Brothers. I'd like to t h a n k them all for their support of the efforts undertaken by The Sphinx; their criticisms regarding same; and, most importantly, their constructive ideas for improvement. I hope the sponsors of the latter will recognize them when they're put in force. There are also those Brothers who go out of their way to serve as hosts, and they too make each business trip a pleasure. In New Orleans, U.S. Magistrate Ivan Lemelle was the perfect host (perhaps because he remembers my ginger guidance as he navigated the "burning sands"). As president of Sigma Lambda Chapter in New Orleans, he stayed on hand to undertake any and every effort to insure a smooth operation. For that, I am profoundly grateful. . . In my home state of Mississippi, State Director Wiley Jones and Treasurer Al W. Johnson again laid out the red carpet - as did Brother Marcus Jackson, Assistant State Director and President of Gamma Upsilon Chapter as Tougaloo College. The limousine provided by Brother Jackson for our forays around town made quite an impression on this ex-cotton picker. While in Jackson, I also met some homeboys from the booming metropolis of Indianola, to wit; Brother Ray Matthews, a President's Scholar at the Universtiy of Mississippi; Brother Jerry Davis, A President's Scholar at Alcorn A & M; and Brother Dexter Merritt, also at 'Ole Miss. . . .DISTINGUISHED COLLEGIANS: As we prepare for our annual sampling of the outstanding college members of Alpha Phi Alpha, I would urge each of you to take the time and nominate worthy Brothers of whom you are aware. We will provide the follow-up and secure the necessary information, if you'll let us know where these Brothers are. . . Until next issue. . MJP.

THE GENERAL PRESIDENT SPEAKS Alpha's Plan For Action

Our fraternity is like our family to us in many ways. It began with a shared interest, followed by a marriage of ideas; a birth; expansion, and today has grown into many generations of distinguished members. Also, like our family, Alpha must grow or suffer extinction. If our fraternity is to survive as a viable part of the social landscape, we must adjust to current conditions and evolve in a new form.

It may mean adjusting our administrative, social, and political practices or sticking to what we have and doing it more efficiently. Only time and collective thought will provide the blueprint for Alpha's future.

When you are a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. anywhere in the world, you and the fraternity share a range and depth of concern well beyond the immediate confines of your chapter, state, or region. You and brothers like you, who work for and live with the precepts of Alpha, are the entire measure of what this fraternity can do. Your abilities and energy and attitudes determine what we achieve. This relationship between you and Alpha shapes a philosophy that defines the high expectations and deeply-felt obligations we set for ourselves and each other. The unique relationship that we share is the bond that holds the "Alpha Family" together.

As with any organization, membership and management may vary, but change is constant if survival is the goal. Alpha expects you to be changeminded—and that is asking no small thing. But the ability to change and adapt is essential to any organization.

To a leadership organization—to Alpha—whose future depends on constant successful innovation, change is a resource and a raw material. It can come only from people who are able and willing to work with it, welcome it, and capitalize on it.

We may have to take some risks to

ensure our security. The conventional way gets you conventional results, and a place in the middle of the crowd. Sometimes that isn't a bad idea; but as a steady diet, it is a guarantee of mediocrity; and can be a fatal affliction. I hope every brother will join me in a bold new initiative: Strategic Planning for Alpha's Future.

I need your tempered willingness to assert your own point of view in making decisions for our fraternity.

Alpha aims high in duty and deeds.

Understanding this is essential to understanding our philosophy and our legacy. High aims and well derived goals, accompanying policies and rules and procedures can take you only so far. We must realize that it's men—Alphamen—who go the distance.

In all the world there is but one Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. And to the outside world, you are Alpha.

You're part of a prestige and a tradition, an aura and a struggle that is difficult to match. People tend to expect more of you simply because you belong to the Alpha family. So should you. So does Alpha.

- Fraternally, -Z*-» m^XAJK CHARLES C. TEAMER, SR. General President

We may have to take some risks to ensure our security. The conventional way gets you conventional results, and a place in the middle of the crowd.

The Sphinx/Winter 1984

THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY'S DESK Services Expanded To Assist Chapters

The Chapter Guide will be distributed at each of the five Regional Conventions. A member of our staff will be on hand for this purpose and to answer any questions. We urge each chapter to designate an officer to be responsible for securing this material.

Additionally, we would remind you to pass the Chapter Guide on to the incoming Chapter President—who will need to utilize the materials contained therein.

Greetings Brothers:

Operations The General Office staff is pleased to announce that the change of vendors for computer services undertaken last year has already shown positive results in the improvement of our "delivery of services" apparatus.

Major improvements include the speed of generating Passcards (practically all chapters have received materials due them); and, simplifying the procedure for obtaining a "change of address" or the correction of data, via a special "direct mail" card attached to each Brother's passcard.

Additionally, the new system provides the capacity to retain the record of "currently inactive" Brothers— who were active during the past year.

Previously this was impossible, as we were obliged to delete the previous year's record in order to begin the list for any given year. This capacity will undoubtedly prove valuable in future efforts—including reclamation and fund-raising.

Founders' Day For the first time, the General Office developed a set of materials to assist all Alpha Chapters in celebrating Founders' Day. Thanks to the generosity of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and Brother Henry Brown, vice president, we were able to secure additional copies of the Founders Poster and send one to each active Chapter.

These posters, as you will recall, were commissioned by Anheuser-Bush for the 1984 General Convention.

You should know, however, that we do not intend to stop at this point.

Working For You

Plans are already underway to develop an expanded set of materials for Founders' Day 1985. We want to assure that, no matter where you travel in December of this ye.ir, the light of Alpha will be shining brightly in " o n e " brilliant stream.

The Chapter Guide The General Office staff is now in the process of preparing The Chapter Guide - 1985-86. As you know, this guide serves as a general administrative handbook for Alpha Chapters and volunteer field staff. It includes step-by-step instructions on how to accomplish a number of functions necessary for the efficient operation of the Fraternity.. . organized in a clear and concise manner. In addition to the Chapter Guide Manual, the accompanying portfolio contains all of the administrative forms needed for Chapter operation. These include Sphinx Club applications, Remittance of Funds forms, Chapter Directory forms and the like.

Each year the staff attempts to attain measurable improvement in the delivery of basic services. Each year we attempt to add new services for the benefit of our members. We are pleased at our progress toward both those goals since the close of the Cleveland General Convention. Further, we are developing long-range plans in both areas—which, with an expanded ADP program, will allow us to serve the Fraternity well in years to come.

In closing, I would like to personally thank the members of the Board of Directors for their support of our efforts to make the entire Fraternity more responsive. All of us on the General Office staff look forward to working with the various planning units set forth in the recent Leadership Conference. We know that, together, we can hold aloft the high ideals of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Fraternally, JAMES B. BLANTON, III Executive Secretary

Big Jobs Begin With Little Jobs Just 1000 more active Brothers would push Alpha's active membership to an all-time high in 1985. With the retention of last year's members, that's less than 2 new Brothers per chapter.

Sound easy? That's because it is, if you do your part! Bring a Brother back "To The Light"!

S/BRIEFS-NEWS/ ANHEUSER-BUSCH & ST. LOUIS A L P H A S HOLD KING TRIBUTE

The Brothers of Epsilon Lambda Chapter (St. Louis , MO) and Delta Epsilon Lambda Chapter (East St. Louis, IL) joined with AnheuserBusch, Inc. to present their second annual tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The event was the occasion to present MLK Life and Legacy Awards to an individual (Irving C. Clay) and an organization (New Life Evangelistic Center) whose everyday activities exemplify the life and legacy of the famous civil rights leader.

"Martin Luther King Day stands as a monument keeping alive the philosophy that we should not be judged by the color of our skin, but by the content of our character," commented Brother Henry H. Brown, vice president of Anheuser-Busch, Inc. He added, "It is a pleasure for Anheuser-Busch to join with the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity to bring together the community for a tribute to Dr. King. Through this event, we seek to highlight the importance of the life and legacy of Dr. King and commemorate the national holiday which recognizes him and his humanitarian principles.

"The messager of Dr. King was very clear and very simple. He called for peace, harmony and equality for all."

Some 1,200 people were in attendance at the Dr. King tribute, held at the Breckenridge Concourse Hotel. Serving as emcee for the formal portion of the celebration was KPLR-TV new anchor Don Clark.

Speaking on the importance of the awards, Brother Brown said, "The life and legacy of Dr. King was a mark of excellence in humanity. Here in St. Louis we have individuals and organizations, who in their everyday activities are showing the commitment to the very things t h a t Dr. King talked about and worked for. The vitality of our community depends on these people and organizations. With these awards, we simply want to say 'Thank you . . . thank you for a job well done.'"

Also involved in the program were Brothers Wayman F. Smith, IL. vice president of corporate affairs at Anheuser-Busch Companies, Inc.; Larry Goodwin, president of Epsilon Lambda; Garland Hawkins, Delta Epsilon Lambda's president; Rev. J o h n W.

COLLEGE CHAPTER OF THE YEAR

BETA EPSILON

Members of Beta Epsilon Chapter are joined by North Carolina State Director Rudolph Hendricks (third from left) in their victory celebration.

The Brothers at Beta Epsilon (North Carolina A&T State University) believe in carrying out programs set the national, regional, and state levels. They took it upon themselves to go back in time and once again bring the visions and efforts of our seven Jewels back into reality.

Realizing that minority students have been denied various educational advancements, BE awarded three area high school seniors with very sizeable scholarships to aid them in their enrollment at the college of their choice; and, they implemented a program entitled "Go to High School/Go To College" just as our forefathers did.

With this program, the Chapter encouraged high school students to attend college upon graduation. With various members of the Chapter present, BE set up displays, discussed various fields or study, and discussed the importance of continuing one's education.

Also, referring to our national fraternity history book, they were able to promote another ideal dealing with our vast minority. That ideal was presenting a program entitled "A Voteless People is a Hopeless People,"

in

which several flyers suggesting the ideal of Blacks registering to vote were The Sphinx/Winter 1984

placed across our university's campus. Dealing hand in hand with this program, the Brothers rendered service to the local NAACP chapter with a voter registration drive.

During the month of January, Beta Epsilon recognized a great individual.

This individual was not only made a national figure for his accomplishments in the past, but also for his character and inspiration to others to continue his dream. This individual belongs to our great fraternity and will be remembered by many people for a lifetime. To try to insure his remembrance among many, the Chapter sponsored a candlelight march for Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Several students attended a march across campus on the night of his b i r t h d a y holding candles to forever shine his spiritual light. The march ended on the Memorial Student Union Steps.

From there, the Chapter presented a film showing series on the life of Brother Dr. King.

Beta Epsilon also participated in one of our biggest regional and national projects by sponsoring a youth to the Leadership Development/Citizenship Education Workshop at Benedict College. Through this program this high school student was able to gain

valuable leadership training.

Not only did they direct attention to the needs of the A&T campus, but they also focused on the needs of the elderly. With this in mind they sponsored several events for the residents of the St. James Nursing Home. The Chapter presented a Thanksgiving Day concert and donated clothes and a financial contribution to the family of Mary Brown, who lost her home due to fire during the Christmas season. Seeing the need to assist people who go daily without a different set of clothes to put on their backs, Beta Epsilon conducted several clothing drives in which clothes were given to Urban Ministry, Goodwill, and Salvation Army.

To the City of Greensboro, BE's brothers served as volunteers for one of the biggest community projects ever brought to the city, entitled "City Stage Celebration '83." This celebration continued with Chapter support throughout the weekend and entertained well over 100,000 citizens.

Another big project brought to the City of Greensboro was the Greater Greensboro Open Golf Tournament, where the Chapter assisted the Jaycees in their efforts of hosting this Continued on page 10 9

COLLEGE CHAPTER OF THE YEAR

BETA EPSILON event. Seeing that one of Greensboro's predominantly Black Junior High School football teams was in financial trouble, Beta Epsilon assisted them in getting jerseys for their team.

The Brothers of BE also serve as volunteers for the local YMCA, where they act as tutors and Big Brothers to several of the children. They helped host a Halloween Party for the children—dressing as ghosts and goblins. They also assisted with another Halloween Haunted House for deaf youths at a later date.

With the crisis of world hunger going on today, Beta Epsilon has adopted a child in India through Children Incorporated. The Chapter also contributed to the Alpha Phi Alpha Million Dollar Fund Drive, Triad Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation, Muscular Dystrophy Association, United Negro College Fund, UNICEF, and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Fund. Continuing on to keep the light of Alpha shining bright, BE Brothers served as hosts for a Christmas Social with the city's graduate chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Lambda.

Beta Epsilon rendered most of its time and service at home, on the campus of NC A&T SU. They started the semester by joining with the largest student organization on the campus— the Student Government Association.

They served as administrative helpers, aiding in the picture-taking process of making ID cards for students. To promote cleanliness on the campus, BE sponsored a trash-a-thon during Aggie-Feast Celebration. To give more beauty to the campus, they painted the pool with the A&T symbol and mascot. Several Brothers in the chapter paid tribute to our beloved Brother Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. by attending the 20th Anniversary March for Jobs, Peace and Freedom in Washington, D.C. There they joined many of our Alpha Brothers from all across the country, including our General President Ozell Sutton.

The Chapter invited North Carolina State Director Dr. Rudolph Hendricks to be a guest speaker at their annual Fall Smoker. Dr. Hendricks enlightened the hearts of many young individuals to continue their strivings to become Alphamen.

They also participated in the Annual Pan-Hellenic Council Academic Olympics with the Chapter in charge of the Math portion.

Voter registration continued to rank high among Chapter priorities. Fiftyone (51) high school students were transported to the Registrar of Voters Office and became registered voters.

Over 5,000 litter bags (with the Chapter's name) were purchased and distributed throughout the city as a part of the Mayor's Clean City Program. Two area nursing homes were taken under the Chapter's wing and bi-monthly Bingo games were operated at each center.

As an on-going commitment to the local YMCA's Capital Building Project, a $500 check was given which, together with previous donations, makes Zeta Psi Lambda one of the largest financial contributors to this predominantly Black facility.

Zeta Psi Lambda achieved a historic first in Southwest Louisiana by becoming the first Black organization to sponsor a series of television programs. The first program was a 60 minute special entitled "Martin, the Emancipator," a tribute to Dr. King.

Personalities appearing on this program included Coretta Scott King, Andrew Young, Charlton Heston, Stevie Wonder and others. This program was aired in April 1984. In May 1984,

General reaction from the public has been enthusiastic in wanting more, and extremely impressed with the professional quality of the programs. Additional programs are set to air through 1985.

Although one television station in town has demonstrated compassion and sensitivity toward the Black community, unfortunately the same could not be said for the other. In protest to the blatant bias of a local TV station, a formal letter of complaint was filed with the FCC detailing specific instances and requesting that a formal hearing be held.

The Ulric Pryce Memorial Scholarship (named for a deceased Chapter member) was increased from $1,500 to $2,000 this year. July 23-28, 1984 was proclaimed "Minority Business Encouragement Week" in Lake Charles, as a result of the Chapter's efforts. A Minority Business Directory was printed by the Chapter, listing minority businesses of Lake Charles.

In support of the Million Dollar Fund Drive, Zeta Psi Lambda was the first Alumni Chapter in Louisiana to pay in full its chapter assessment over three years ago. To date, an additional $2,000 has been contributed to the

Fund.

Awards and special commendations have come from all corners in recognition of the many educational, charitable and community programs of the Chapter. These include: The Mayor's Plaque, an award from the City of Lake Charles, commending the Chapter on its community service; letter of commendation from Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards; letter of commendation from U.S. Senator Russell Long; Mayoral Proclamation naming January 15 "Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

On Friday, the Board held its regular January meeting. General President Teamer expressed the need for strong leadership from the Board of Directors in charting the Fraternity's future course. To this end, he appointed three Committees of the Board: Audit, Budget and Compensation, chaired by General Treasurer James M. Trent; Membership, chaired by Southern Vice President A. M. Witherspoon; and Programs, chaired by Midwestern Vice President Ivan L. Cotman. These committees are to become intimately conversant with their areas of concern; developing recommendations for action for presentation to the full Board of Directors.

FOCUS Sponsor of successful amendment to Florida constitution Brother ALZO REDDICK has been a member of the Florida House of Representatives since 1982 and, during this period, he has been on the frontline—advocating the concerns of poor and minority residents of this growth-oriented state. On November 6,1984, the voters of Florida approved Amendment #5 to the Constitution of the State of Florida—providing a historic first for Brother Reddick and new avenues of political participation for the state's minority residents.

Amendment #5 (and its attendant enabling legislation) allows voters to petition for a countywide election on the issue of single member districts, if county commissioners refuse to call such an election. Proponents of the measure contend that it will benefit citizens by fostering greater voter awareness and participation; increasing minority representation; diminishing the impact of special interests; and developing a responsive corps of elected officials.

The state's minority voters were especially interested in the measure, based upon prior experience. In 1982, the state law was changed to allow state legislators to be elected from single-member districts instead of by counties, at-large. As a result of that measure, the number of Black legislators has grown from five to twelve.

Brother Reddick served as the originator, sponsor and prime mover of Amendment #5—which he introduced when he was a freshman legislator.

For a freshman legislator to have introduced and passed an amendment The Sphinx/Winter 1984

Br,other

Alzc *ed dj ick

to the state constitution is a remarkable feat. Moreover, as noted Clerk of the House Allen Morris, Reddick is the first Black legislator to have proposed an amendment which won statewide voter acceptance.

Brother Reddick, holder of the Ed.D., is Program Director of Minority Achievement at Valencia Community College. He has a distinguished career in education and is President-Elect of the Southern Association of Black Administrators. He is married to the former Elouise Williams and they are the parents of three children.

The success of Amendment #5 is a significant first step toward gaining parity in representation on the very powerful county commissions in Florida. It provides an avenue for the people, through their own hard work, to shape their lives and destinies.

A member of Delta Xi Lambda

Chapter in Orlando, Brother Reddick will assuredly be a part of that campaign. And he can be counted upon to continue to guard the people's interest through his service on the Education, Tourism and Economic Development, and Regulatory Reform Committees of the Florida House of Representatives.

Single-member districts led to an increase in the number of Black legislators from five to twelve.

INAUGURAL

ADDRESS A Legacy of Leadership and Service Distinguished Past General Presidents, Brother Morial, Brother Washington, Brother Williams, and Brother Sutton, members of the Board of Directors, my Brothers in Alpha Phi Alpha, ladies and gentlemen... thank you for coming here today. This is a great day in my life.

Let me begin by expressing my gratitude to a divine providence which allows me the opportunity to stand before this distinguished group as the 27th General President of one of America's premiere organizations. I must also proclaim, with a heartfelt emotion that might not always be reflected in my demeanor, my love and gratitude to my family.

Without their support, I surely could not have accomplished very much. And, of course, there are the men of Alpha Phi Alpha—whose literal affirmation of faith in this one Brother, among thousands of equals, is responsible for our gathering here today. A special word of thanks to my boss, Sam Cook, my colleagues at Dillard and sincere appreciation to my associates in the office of Fiscal Affairs.

A

lpha Phi Alpha is a unique organization—both in its sterling history and its rela tionsnip to its members.

Both of those factors make this day an unparalleled experience. I have been a member of this organization for most of my life. I am a member of, and have held leadership positions in, a number of fine organizations. Certainly, I believe in the goals and principles of all of them. I am honored to be associated with them, and to be able to contribute to the furtherance of their goals. But, Alpha Phi Alpha has a special place in my heart and my life for very special reasons. Alpha has taught me many things, but most of all, it has taught me to give until it hurts—it encouraged me to reach to exceed my grasp.

world. In Atlanta, this young man from the great metropolis of Salisbury, North Carolina was told that he could succeed against all odds. For this reason, the Greek letters A-Phi-A and majestic strains of the Alpha Hymn can cause otherwise levelheaded men such as those here today to dream of college days swiftly past and work for the advancement of society.

Alpha's method of election is also sobering—and gratifying to the person chosen to lead this great Brotherhood. A victory in the quest for this post means that thousands of Brothers, many of whom you do not know and will never meet, have expressed a confidence in your ability to lead their fraternity. No wave of convention emotion can sweep them to that deci-

gone before us. Our legacy is firm and deeply imbedded in my heart.

First, we must keep alive the basic motif which undergirds our history— as a people and as a fraternity. As stated by General President Charles H. Wesley, one of our greatest past General Presidents and currently our Fraternity Historian, we must understand and teach our children that "We belong to a people who are among the oldest inhabitants of the earth, the fathers of civilization and religious culture. Alpha men have thus oeen encouraged to believe that, though living in America and giving our allegiance and loyalty to it, we are also aware that we are the heirs of a great tradition centering on Africa."

We must next remember that our founders believed in the special merit

"Clearly enunciated goals are the key to progress in an organization with such a diversity of membership, but these few tasks will require all of the time, the imagination, the money, the sacrifice... that we can give. Let us do just that, and do honor to our Founders.'

The roster of successful Alpha men is impressive and there are many common interests and affiliations for those who have attained some measure of success along life's rocky road.

But Alpha Phi Alpha membership does not come as a reward for a successful career. This great Brotherhood seeks to kindle the tremendous potential in our young men and to urge them, and help them, to "march onward and upward toward the light."

Alpha Phi Alpha is more than a social fraternity—it is a way of life for thousands of us. Our scholarship program, sponsorship of low and moderate income housing, support of civil rights legislation, and business encouragement are examples.

Thus, Alpha's greatness lies not simply in the fact that distinguished Black Americans are listed on its roster. Rather, the true magic of this Brotherhood is that in every year since 1906, in schools large and small, in every region of this nation—Alpha has placed its imprimatur on untried young men and literally pushed and shoved them to great heights. At Xavier, we initiated a brash young man—who today is Mayor of this great city and leader of all of the country's municipal executives. In Boston, we initiated an unknown divinity student—whose name, Martin Luther King, Jr., today rings around the The Sphinx/Winter 1984

sion. They sit alone, in secret, and mark their ballots with only the best interests of Alpha Phi Alpha to consider. Thus, I am truly humbled by this sacred trust. In this fraternity, every college initiate dreams of one day becoming president.

In 1913, some 47 years before President John F. Kennedy expressed similar sentiments in his inaugural address, an Alpha General President sought to put into perspective the outlook which must be embraced by every member of this great organization. Said Brother Charles H. Garvin, our fourth General President, "An Alpha Phi Alpha man's attitude should not be 'How much can I derive from the fraternity'. . .but, 'How much can I do for the fraternity.'" He added that, "In proportion to what he does for his chapter, and for Alpha Phi Alpha, will a member receive lasting benefit, from the fraternity to himself, in the way of self-development by duty well done and by the Respect of Brothers well served."

Here, in this public arena, I pledge to you and the world that I shall do all in my power to perform my duties as General President and to maintain your respect in striving toward that end.

The tasks that we must carry out are clear, for they have been passed down to us by countless Brothers who've

of this organization as an institution.

They were surrounded by erudite and charismatic leaders of their time— DuBois, Johnson, Locke, Washington, Douglass—but they understood all too well the frailty of human life.

Thus, their prime task was to transcend mortality, through an institution which would continue to survive and continue to perform the essential tasks of nationhood. Only a few years ago, we suffered together as one of Black America's premiere insiitutions —the NAACP—was on the brink of destruction because of adverse legal action. That was enough to convince me that we must build a fraternity with an "organization invulnerable" —shoring up its infra-structure to guarantee its survival for at least another 79 years.

Our third task is to train young men for leadership. We must encourage them to become better educated, to participate in civic and community affairs at all levels and to be ready when the call for leadership is issued forth.

Alpha men have been answering that call for generations, as Eugene Kinckle Jones, the first ex-Secretary of the Urban League, Lester Granger, and Whitney, Young guided the Urban League as Attorney A.P. Turead, a member of Sigma Lambda, fought Continued on page 20

segregation in New Orleans; as Befrord Lawson plotted a shrewd legal strategy and Thurgood Marshall argued before the Supreme Court in brilliant fashion—and as he now doggedly stands fast in his declining years, determined to protect this nation from the tyranny of a reactionary Supreme Court. Alpha men are ready today—five Alpha men serve in the Congress of the United States, including newly-elected Budget Chairman William Gray; as Mayors of the cities of Atlanta, New Orleans, Washington, DC, Oakland, CA, Birmingham, AL; and countless other public servants throughout this nation. We watched the Super Bowl as Brother Eric Wright broke up a crucial Miami pass attempt and lead the 49ers to victory!.. .We must continue to rovide the training ground for the tadership so desperately needed by Our country.

Finally, but not least of all, we in Alpha Phi Alpha must take the time, in this complicated world, to undertake what Brother Garvin called the "proper consideration of all things."

TEAMER

General President is committed to developing a modern and efficient fraternal organization.

Brother CHARLES C. TEAMER, SR. is the 27th General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.—the nation's oldest and largest predominantly Black Greek-letter organization. He was elected to his post after an expansive career of fraternity involvement—beginning with his initiation into the Alpha Phi Chapter at Clark College (Atlanta, GA) in 1951. A Life Member, he was subsequently active with Delta Zeta Lambda Chapter (Orangeburg, SC) and Tau Lambda Chapter (Nashville, TN); and served as President of Gamma Upsilon Lambda (Marshall, TX) and Sigma Lambda (New Orleans, LA)—his current fraternal home.

From 1973-1983, Brother Teamer served as Comptroller of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., a member of its Board of Directors, and Chairman of its Committee on Budget and Finance.

Professionally, Brother Teamer serves as Vice President of Fiscal Af20

Alpha men, in local, state, regional and national settings, must draw back from the shouts of the crowd to give sober thought to the problems facing us, and confounding our people.

In civic affairs, we must similarly offer our talents to the pursuit of rational, constructive decision-making for the benefit of all segments of our society.

In both areas, we will be repaying to our people the investment placed in us—through the blood, sweat and tears of our ancestors. What, indeed, would that investment be worth if we, too, approach every crisis charged with the emotion inherent in every human being. No, my Brothers and my friends, our people expect more of us, and they should. We have no choice but to return the interest due them.

If these tasks seem few, please know that they must be so. Clearly enunciated goals are the key to progress in an organization with such a diversity of membership, scattered across some 47 states, the Caribbean, Europe and Asia. Indeed, when an issue of concern becomes so specialized that it is truly understood by only a few, it is time for the creation of a specialized instrument to deal with

A Past President of the Southern Association of College and University Business Officers, ne is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the National Association of College and University Business Officers.

In his home city of New Orleans, Brother Teamer is a top civic leader.

He was cited as one of the city's 10 Outstanding Citizens in 1979 and was named one of New Orleans' 10 Volunteer Activists in 1980. He is a former President of the United Way of New Orleans and is on the board of New Orleans Public Service, Inc. (which provides utility and transit services to the city). He is also Secretary-Treasurer of the Board of Commissioners of the Port of New Orleans—which administers the city's maritime facilities

that problem. Alpha men understood this in the '40's, when they turned over major leadership in Alpha-initiated civil rights litigation to the NAACP. Our job, in such a situation, is then to offer support to those institutions. Alpha has performed admirably on this score, as Benjamin Hooks noted in acknowledging receipt of the largest single gift in NAACP history—from Alpha men.

But know, too, that these few tasks will require all of the time, the imagination, the money, the sacrifice... that we can give. Let us do just this, and do honor to our Founders.

We are the heirs of those Brothers who have carried the torch of this great tradition. They threw us this torch when we looked backward; it is our task to hold it high as we look forward. The true test of brotherhood is in seeking to serve, to care, to believe.

We must soar like a proud eagle which is befitting of an Alpha man.

The future of this fraternity and this world depends upon our ability to meet today's challenges. We are a great organization, but we can and must become greater.

Now is the time for all of us to rededicate ourselves to liberty, justice, and freedom. Let us begin today. and cultivates billions of dollars in foreign trade.

THE BLACK COLLEGES This article is one of a series by the Education Foundation — in recognition and support of historically Black colleges.

Dillard University's roots date back to 1869 when the American Missionary Association of the Congregational Church founded Straight University, and the Freedman's Aid Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church established Union Normal School.

Straight and Union Normal were subsequently renamed Straight College and New Orleans University, respectively, the antecedent institutions which later merged to form Dillard University - June 6, 1930.

In September 1935, Dillard began instruction with a new physical plant located on a 62-acre site, formerly next to a dairy, that is now part of one of the city's,loveliest residential sections. The University was named in honor of Dr. James Hardy Dillard, whose distinguished service in the education of Blacks in the South forms an important chapter in the history of American education. It was Dr. Dillard who suggested the University's motto: "Ex Fide Fortis" (From Confidence, Courage).

A liberal arts, co-educational undergraduate college, Dillard's campus now includes 23 buildings; the faculty numbers about 100; the student body averages 1,200.

The continuing mission of Dillard is to create and maintain an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth through programs marked by academic excellence.

The Bachelor of Arts degree is granted to students whose concentration has been in the Divisions of Education, the Humanities and the Social Sciences.

to students who complete the curriculum requirements in the Division of the Natural Sciences and the Bachelor of Science in Nursing to those students in the Division of Nursing.

The quality of Dillard's education is attested to in part by the small studentfaculty ratio (14:1), the high percentage of faculty who hold terminal degrees in their areas of specialization, and the 85 percent of all Dillard alumni who pursue graduate study in universities and professional schools throughout the nation.

Another strong indicator of Dillard's quality can be found in the many areas of education in which it has pioneered.

ally accredited collegiate program in nursing and among the first in the nation to establish an intensive eight-week Pre-Freshman Summer Program aimed at helping incoming freshmen improve in the areas of language, math, and reading skill development. Dillard was also the originator of the concept of the Upward Bound Program, whose goal is to prepare promising but underachieving high school students for postsecondary education. The University subsequently became the seat of one of the nation's 20 pilot projects, in 1965. Today, there are more than 700 Upward Bound programs in the United States, Guam, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, involving over 26,000 students.

The Business Division, which graduates more than 33 percent of Dillard's students annually, provides a broad-based program exposing students to a number of areas of specialization including accounting, economics, and marketing. Additionally, student internships with such major corporations as Atlantic Richfield, IBM, Mobil, and Xerox provide s u b s t a n t i a l field experience. The University's participation in the Black Executive Exchange Program provides majors with exposure to Black executives as well as to the business world, enabling them to chart more effective careers. The Science and Nursing Divisions offer equally effective curricula. Biology majors can participate in internships at the Oak Ridge (TN) National Laboratories, the Argonne Laboratory in Chicago, the Continued on page 23

Summer components include programs with Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Shell Oil, and Corning Glass Works.

Dillard's pioneering Nursing Program has been and continues to be a leader among others with innovative additions to its curriculum. Students can select from summer internship in gerontology, mental health, and pediatrics.

Dr. Edwina Frank, Chairman, Loyola (LA) University of Nursing Program, and Dr. Rhetaugh Dumas, Dean of the School of Nursing at the University of Michigan are among the Nursing Division's most distinguished graduates.

EAST new jersey Koppo Theto Lambda "cools out" When Brother Lynwood O. Jackson, of Kappa Theta Lambda, gives a brunch, he gives a BRUNCH! When he planned a get-together for the Brothers, he wanted a bright, sunny day. So he consulted his favorite almanac as an aid in selecting the right weekend. He hit the jackpot! The fourth Sunday in September, in Teaneck, New Jersey, dawned bright and clear, with warm outdoor weather and blue skies—the perfect setting for a brunch on his grassy, flowerbordered lawn. Assisted by Brothers William Witherspoon, Treasurer, Isaac G. McNatt, Associate Editor-to-theSphinx; and Percy Pollard—Brother Jackson rolled out a table of sumptuous fare: baked Virginia ham, country sausage, scrambled eggs, chicken legs, homefried potatoes, grits and fried apples, champagne punch, nona l c o h o l i c p u n c h , coffee, t e a , cheesecake and pound cake.

Brothers by the score were in attendance, with their ladies, led by Brother Archie Lacey, President and Brother William E. Beavers, Vice President. Other Brothers present were Thomas Ashley, Corresponding Secretary; Gerald Boswell; Bernard E. Brooks, Mayor of Teaneck; J. Edison Brown, Area Director; Arthur W. Chaney, Jr., Benjamin, Recording Secretary; Norbert Downey; Robert K. Gillespie; B. E. Goodall, Chaplain; Edward Hadden; John Horner; Carlos Peay, Jr.; Coldan Raines; William Raines, Parliamentarian; James Randolph; Rudolph Thomas; Charles A. Warren, Educational Director; and Arthur Norris. Brothers unable to attend included Edward Carroll, Financial Secretary; Kermit Boston, Historian; Chester Franklin, Sergeant-at-Arms; Winfred V. Cooke; Arnold E. Brown, Immediate Past President; Charles Carson; Larry Harris; Walter Harris; James L. Howard, Albert Small; and Richard Stanton.

What was discussed by those present on that golden September day?

Summer vacations, visits abroad, how

the children are doing, the New Jersey Black Issues Convention (which had just met in Teaneck and in which several of the Brothers participated); the upcoming NAACP Freedom Fund Dinner for Bergen County. Also, there were questions as to how Brother Jackson managed to get to many healthful-looking vegetables and beautiful flowers in his back yard and still have room for all of his guests. And what did he promise his lovely wife, Althea, his two beautiful daughters, Arline and Althea, and his handsome, husky son Lynwood O. Jackson, Jr. to get them to participate so wholeheartedly in planning and implementing the program?

The one who knows isn't talking.

When and where will the next such affair be held for the Brothers, if indeed it can be matched? The answer will come on "the inaudible and noiseless foot of time."

u of buffalo Delta Epsilon shines on campus 2nd in community Pride, dedication, and determination are just some of the qualities that describe the efforts and achievements of the Brothers of Delta Epsilon.

The Chapter has worked diligently to excel in leadership roles, play an important part in campus activities, and to upgrade the Buffalo community to the best of our ability. Here are a few good deeds that keep the Brothers of DE striving to be First Of All, Servants Of All, and Transcending All. On campus, Brothers hold key positions in various organizations, with Brothers Rahb Wilson and William Alford serving as Vice-President of the Black Student Union and the Black American Law S t u d e n t s Association respectively. Alphamen have also worked closely with the

Afro-American Student Organization, the Inter-Greek Association, and in Student Government. The Brothers have also donated funds and aided to the success of the university's annual dance marathon which raises money to fight leukemia.

The black community in Buffalo has overcome much adversity in the past and still faces serious challenges today. The brothers of DE have helped to meet some of these challenges by raising money and holding membership drives for the Buffalo Urban League. In addition, the hapter has been an avid supporter of the West Seneca Developmental Center. Our participation in the Big Brother program at the center has enabled us to provide some of our less fortunate young brothers in the Buffalo community with companionship, guidance and friendship that they otherwise may not have had.

The Brothers have also been very active in the Buffalo political community, assisting in various campaigns, voter registration drives and in getting people out to vote on election day. We send a special congratulations to our very own Brother Byron W. Brown who has been appointed Executive Secretary to the Buffalo Common Council President.

Delta Epsilon Chapter has contributed substantially to the United Negro College Fund and is committed to supporting it in the future.

At the beginning of the fall semester the Brothers held their annual "Welcome Back Party" which proved to be a success both economically and socially. Part of the proceeds raised at the function went to charitable organizations around the city and also to the chapter's scholarship fund.

The 1984-85 officers of Delta Epsilon Chapter are Brothers Nigel Spence, President; Michael K. Hughes, Vice-President; Hakim Sabur, Corresponding Secretary and Editor--to-theSphinx; Henry Littles, Treasurer; John W e s t b r o o k , Recording Secretary; Charles Dillard, Dean of Pledges; Scipio Prime, Parliamentarian; John Hinkson, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Chapters represented were Pi Mu (West Virginia University); Nu Nu (Marshall University); Alpha Zeta (West Virginia State University); Alpha Iota Lambda (Charleston); Gamma Delta Lambda (Beckley); Xi Theta (Concord College); Beta Theta (Bluefield State College); and Alpha Zeta Lambda (Bluefield).

Under the theme - "There's Gold In Them Thar Hills" - the Brothers accomplished: the reorganization of the state organization; the appointments of Brother Adolphus Young as State Director, and of Douglas Miller and Miles Cary as Regional Directors; the planning of a 1985 state convention, with Brother Charles Ledbetter as Chairman; and a host of other administrative items. All of Alpha can look for great things from the hills of West Virginia!

The Sphinx/Winter 1984

central state u A busy year for Delta Xi Greetings to all the Distinguished Men of Alpha from the Brothers of Delta Xi Chapter, Central State University, Wilberforce, Ohio. The Brothers of Delta Xi continued to carry the Light of Alpha during the '84 school year.

During the '84 Spring quarter the Brothers sponsored a swim-a-thon for Sickle Cell Anemia. The Brothers continued our Voter Registration campaign for the "Jesse Jackson for President C a m p a i g n . " We also cosponsored a tutorial outreach program with the schools.

O u r " A l p h a W e e k " was as awesome as our school. We had various activities and all were well attended. Our first event was a "Greek Sip" where all the Greeks pledged to work together for the advancement towards a "defininte program." The Brothers of Delta Xi held a banquet in honor of Brother Lionel H. Newsom.

The event was well attended and it was an honor for the Brothers of Delta Xi to sponsor such an event. The next event was "Date an Alpha", where campus females could obtain a chance to date their favorite Alpha. The next event was the "Lowenbrau Film Festival." This consisted of a "Pizza and Beer Blast" with Lowenbrau beer and Noble Roman's pizza. Friday was our 33rd Annual Scholarship Ball.

This was also the time for Brothers to honor and enjoy their accomplishments and each other. Some of the Awards given were: Academic Brother of the Year — Darryl Brooks (3.96); Brother of the Year — Tony Plummer; Neophyte of the Year — Reginald Davidson. The Unsung Brother Award went to Harvey Miree. The Most Outstanding Senior was Marshan Brown.

The Ball was a complete success and this event was only topped by our Cabaret. Saturday was the Alpha Picnic. This was a time for the Central State family to sit and relax. The next day was the "Miller High Life" softball tourney. The Brothers smashed the Men of Kappa Alpha Psi. The Brothers were led by the awesome bat of 3rd baseman James Edmond, shortstop Andree Adams, second baseman The Sphinx/Winter 1984

Ricky Perry, outfielders Jeff Elmore, George Curtis, Darryl Brooks, and Robert Prince. The pitching battery of Marshan Brown and Steven T. Washington was superb.

The Brothers also held a Ms. Black and Gold pageant. This was hard for the Brothers to decide the winner. All the ladies were gorgeous as well as talented. The winner was Kimberli Renee Radford who is currently Ms. Central State University. The Brothers v e n t u r e d to t h e M i d - W e s t e r n Regional with high hopes and with Michael D. Brown running for MidWestern Vice President and Ms. Radford running in the Ms. Black and Gold Pageant. Neither candidate won but they should both be applauded for their effort. The Brothers of Delta Xi also took second place in the "Stomp-down" competition.

Congratulations go out to the awesome Brothers of the "Fantastic Four" Line, 5/26/83 11:14 p.m. Congratulations Sands! We also welcome the seven members of the "Altered States" line into our glorious fraternity. Phillip Black, Chris Bent, Austin Smith, Vernon Genius, Eric Lindsey, Daniel Jordan, and Mark Short (5/27/84 12:18 am).

The new elections find Stephan T. Washington as our President, Randolph Napier the Vice President, Richard Perry is the Recording Sec-

retary, James F. Edmond the Corresponding Secretary and Editor-to-theSphinx. Reginald Davidson is the Chaplain and the Historian; Jeffrey T. Elmore is our Stepmaster; Floyd Andree Adams is the Dean of Pledges, and Michael D. Brown, Sergeant-atArms.

The Brothers of Delta Xi were awarded the "Organization of the Year."

This summer the Brothers of Delta Xi participated in "Project Alpha", with the graduate brothers of the area.

This was a very successful and worthwhile project. The Brothers of Delta Xi also gave a step-show for the "Young Alpha" Man and the Central State Upward Bound program.

The Brothers of Delta Xi were very proud and honored to participate in the 1984 Alpha Phi Alpha National Stepdown Contest, in which we took second place. A special congratulations goes out to the step-master Jeffrey T. Elmore and the step team members: Floyd Andree Adams, Donald Burton, Ronald House, Reginald Davidson, Robert Prince, Steven T. Washington, and James F. Edmond.

The Brothers of Delta Xi would like to wish all Brothers a very happy and successful year. We encourage all Brothers of all chapters to correspond with us on up-coming events. A-PHI.

Big Jobs Just 1000 more active Brothers would push Alpha's active membership to an all-time high in 1985.

With the retention of last year's members, that's less than 2 new Brothers per chapter. Sound easy? That's because it is, if you do your part! Bring a Brother back "To The Light"!

Ten neophytes for Kappa Delta Lambda

northeast missouri state

Grestings throughout Alphadom from Kappc Delta Lambda, Lansing, Michigan. The past year was one of our most illustrious occasions with the largest number of initiates to cross the "burning sands" at one time. They have already assumed a meaningful role in Alphadom by serving on various committees and on the current Executive Board. They represent a wide spectrum of the professional community. The new members are Ralph Bonner, Peter Bunten, Robert Clark, Paul Fry, R. Vincent Green, James Hamilton, Robert Hester, Livingston Manuel, William Wagner and George Watts.

Other significant activities were Founders' Day Observance, joint sponsorship with the City of Lansing in commemorating Martin Luther King Day, scholarship and government savings bond awards in connection with the Chapter's educational endeavor, membership on the local Greek Council and a summer picnic for members and their guests. An integral part of each monthly Chapter meeting has been an educational emphasis with the purpose of keeping the membership informed on matters pertaining to Alpha Phi ALpha and selective civic issues. One presentation was by Brother James Gaddis,

Accomplishment for Iota XI The Brothers of Iota Xi Chapter at Northeast Missouri State University would like to extend a very sincere fraternal greetings to our Brothers in Alpha.

The goal towards which the Brothers of Iota Xi work every day is one of improved fraternal brotherhood within our own organization as well as Greek participation to enhance the Greek system as a whole. Because we are making strides in the accomplishment of this goal, Iota Xi has received continued respect and admiration from our Greek peers. We have spearheaded projects with such organizations as Phi Beta Sigma, Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Omega Psi Phi, and Alpha Phi Omega, to name a few.

Some of the great strides made by Iota Xi and its members this past year include Brother Dwyane Smith's gaining an administrative position at our University as a Minority Counselor, a position that was vacant for several years. Brother Dwyane Gatson graduated as the number one Academic Minority Student at N.M.S.U. in the spring of 1984, the The SDhinx/Winter 1984

Easter party for the children at the Roxie Anna Collins Children's Home Ministry in Seneca, South Carolina, a visit to the elderly at Clemson Downs Retirement Homes, and our annual Miss Black and Gold Pageant. The Ladies also helped when the Brothers of Pi Alpha were asked by Clemson University's Admissions Office to aid in the university's annual Visitation Day. Visitation Day is when prospective students of Clemson University and their parents come and visit the campus. The Brothers and Ladies answered questions and helped in every way possible. The Brothers of Pi Alpha also provided a stepshow that was commended by many. We were also asked by the Admissions Office to help co-sponsor a picnic for new freshmen at the beginning of the academic year. This, too, was a rousing success.

Greetings Brothers in Alpha from Psi Lambda Chapter in the "Choo Choo City," Chattanooga, Tennessee.

Psi Lambda begins this year with three neophyte Brothers: Charles Key, Reverend Robert Kesee, and Edward Lawrence. We welcome these Brothers with sincerity and enthusiasm, the true Alpha Spirit.

Brother Charles Key has a distinction few of us had. When he crossed the burning sands, he had to witness this occasion a son, then a senior at Morehouse College, who came all the way from Atlanta, and his father, George Key, Sr. The neophyte Brothers were initiated in the Spring of 1984 under the watchful eyes of our state and area directors.

To climax our previous year, our Education Committee sponsored a luncheon for selected male high school graduates. Brother Malcolm Walker, local chairman of PUSH MOVEMENT, was the principle speaker. He gave advice, encouragement, and information in his discussion which was valued and accepted by the group. Brother Buffington was chairman of this affair and deserves much praise for the way it was carried out.

During this academic year Beta Tau also showed its devotion to Alpha by participating in an annual UNCF "Can Shake" co-sponsored by Beta Tau. All Greek Organizations on campuses affiliated with UNCF were asked to participate. Trophies were given out to Greek Organizations collecting the largest amount of donations. We are happy to say that this worthy event was a success, and Beta Tau is happy to announce that it captured first place, raising a total of $604, bringing our total chapter contributions to over $2600.

The Brothers of Beta Tau always try to uplift the hearts of the community.

low family income; therefore, the Brothers of Beta Tau, at Thanksgiving and Christmas, supplied hearty baskets of canned goods and turkeys donated by Brothers and other good Samaritans to give to the needy families in the nearby community.

In the Fall of 1983 seven new Brothers was inducted into the Brotherhood. All seven of these neophytes did an outstanding job during their pledge period. They did what was required to join our great Fraternity with spirit we can be proud of. The name of their line was "The Suave Seven." These seven new Brothers are: Ricky Amos of Gulfport, Mississippi; LaMar Cartwright of Chicago, Illinois; Conrad Charles of The Virgin Islands; Rivers Frederick, Christopher Haydel, Elton Haydel and Steven Morris, all from New Orleans.

During the year of 1983-84 several brothers have joined hands in matrimony with the ladies of their hearts.

These Brothers are John Robinson, Alfonso Robinson, Clinton Anderson, Reginald Taylor and C. C. Haydel.

We wish all of them happiness in the years to come.

texos Houston Brothers toke to the sky

The Brothers of Alpha Eta Lambda heartily greet you! We are proud to report that last year we realized significant developments—both individually and collectively.

We initiated six new hard-working and already productive Brothers: Elroy Brown, John E. Codwell, III, Charles Cooper, Curtis Cooper, Bobby English, Jr., and Archer Scott.

We applaud the accomplishments of two native Houstonians. Brother Al Edwards, a State Representative, was the state chairman for the Reverend Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign and after the Democratic Convention, was selected to work with voter registration in former Vice President Walter Mondale's campaign. We also welcomed Brother Samuel Green back to the city. Brother Green was appointed Postmaster at our General Post Office.

Alpha Eta lambda Brothers who are members of the Bronze Eagles Flying Club "took to the sky"— offering free plane rides and aviation education to local youth.

In the area of community service, members of our Chapter sponsored, organized and conducted money management, crime prevention, and child abuse seminars which enlightened and inspired community residents. We held our 11th Annual Alpha Merit Scholarships and Awards Banquet where ambitious young men earned $2,000 in scholarships.

The highlight of our community service concerns our participation in the "Take it to the Sky" program.

Brothers who are licensed airplane pilots and other members of the Bronze Eagle Flying Club of Texas volunteered to give free plane rides to kids. The children were given a brief history of the airplane, and were also shown parts of the plane and told their functions. The event demonstrated to them that it is possible for blacks to achieve . . . both as pilots and aircraft owners. Many, if not all, of these youngsters had never flown in an airplane and, Brothers, their starlit eyes and glowing faces fully expressed fervent happiness. They had experienced what we know is " . . . the poetic palace where human feeling is rhymed to celestial motives...".

Brothers Dave Alexander and Gerald Joseph deserve all plaudits. They helped organize an event that stimulated positive inspiration and received multi-media coverage.

Finally, Brothers, when we closed out the fiscal year 1983-84 we had earned a special distinction. Our ac-

tive membership qualified us as one of the ten largest chapters in Alphadom.

grombling state u Delta Sigma marches toward the light Greetings once again, to the Brothers of Alpha. The Brothers of Delta Sigma Chapter (Grambling State University) continue to uphold the light of success for our great fraterniI will start by giving tribute to the neophyte Brothers of the Fall '83 Nguzo Saba line. Remember!, without new life, our fraternity would not survive. Their line represents the "Seven Realistic Values of the Black Man". Introducing the Fall '83 line: Brothers Rufus Matthews, Melvin Tate, Bruce Currie, Terry Savoy and Hakim Baxter.

The neophytes are devoted Brothers. Brother Terry Savoy was elected President of the Student Government Association for the '84-'85 school year. This was the first time a sophomore was elected to this prestigious position in Grambling's history. Brother Hakim Baxter also made history by being elected S.G.A. Vice President, as a sophomore, for the '84-'85 school year. Brother Melvin Tate was elected Junior Class 39

Vice President for the '84-'85 school session. Yes, the new brothers are ready to achieve success for Alpha.

The prophytes are also achievers.

Brother Darren Boykins was appointed Chief-of-Staff of the S.G.A. for the '84-'84 school year. Brother Boykins is also the first person in Grambling State University's history to win three chess tournaments in a row in the Student Union Board Tourn a m e n t . Brother Robert Killins (S.G.A. President, '83-'84) graduated cum laude. Brothers Dwayne Price and Victor Mitchell graduated as well.

The 1983-84 year was a historymaking year for our Chapter. The Mayor of Grambling issued a proclamation making the week of April 5-12 Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha Week. We participated in a host of activities. In addition to maintaining the first place award for having the highest scholastic average among Greeks on campus, we assisted in hosting our first State Convention on our campus. Eta Kappa (Louisiana Tech University) and Epsilon Kappa Lambda were the other hosts. Both the business and social parts of the convention were a great success.

As for service projects, we pledged $250.00 to both the G.S.U. Foundation and Rev. Jesse Jackson. We carried people to the polls to vote during the May 5th Louisiana primary. Also, we participated in several beautification projects on campus.

Finally, our current officers are as follows: Darren Boykins, President; Bruce Currie, Vice President; Rufus Matthews, Secretary; Cary Crawford, Treasurer; O. Moss, Dean of Pledges; Terry Savoy, Editor-to-the-Sphinx; and Robert Killins, Jr., Historian. We here at Delta Sigma are truly marching onward toward the light for Alpha.

Members of Beta Kappa Chapter recently hosted General President Ozell Sutton on the Langston University campus. Seated center front is Brother Ira Hall, a charter member of Beta Kappa.

Beta Kappa was proud to have hosted a banquet in honor of Brother Ozell Sutton November 13, 1984 during his two day visit to Langston University. The theme of the occasion was, "We've Struck It Rich With Alpha." After dining, and entertainment by Brother Reggie Holloway, Brother Sutton gave a few remarks.

He said, "Fellowship with each other is good, but the greatest fellowship is Alpha Phi Alpha having the opport u n i t y to f e l l o w s h i p w i t h all distinguished m e n . " Sutton added, "We must work with fellowship to make it better for all m e n . " Beta Kappa presented Sutton with a plaque, thanking him for his devoted time and success as General President of Alpha Phi Alpha.

On day two of the visit to Langston, Brother Sutton implemented his purpose for coming to Langston University by serving as guest speaker for the observance of American Education Week. The theme was "Education Excellence: Our Nation's Strongest Defense."

Sutton spoke to more than 1000 college and high school students, stressing the importance of dedication, motivation, and commitment to education.

After Sutton spoke to the assembly, he was awarded a plaque from Zeta Lambda C h a p t e r of Langston, Oklahoma. It was quite an honor for Brother Sutton to visit Langston

University. Beta Kappa wishes him a warm farewell, and continued success.

We, the Brothers of Beta Kappa Chapter, are working hard to overcome the struggle.

The Brothers won the fraternity and overall division of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. Greek show (NTSU).

In March the Brothers also won first place in the Brothers of Delta Theta Chapter (Texas Southern U.) Greek show. We joined with the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. (NTSU) in a show mixer before their show. April brought the Brothers their third consecutive first place finish at the Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. (NTSU) Greek show. This month was the closing of our 2nd place finish in the basketball intramural season. We also sported our annual Greek Superstars Competition during Greek Week. We closed the spring with attendance at the Southwestern Regional Convention in Beaumont, Texas and our annual Black & Gold Ball.

At the regional convention, Brother Thornton was runner-up in the College Brother of the Year award and elected the Regional Assistant Vice President. Brother Webster was elected to the position of Assistant Secretary of the region. At our Black & Gold Ball this year, Brother Kevin Carreathers served as our Keynote Speaker (a former member and President of our Chapter, now of Epsilon Tau Lambda), spoke on our theme —"Eta Epsilon Making History." Our Chapter took a big step into development of college life as a service to the fraternity as we truly made history.

This spring we were joined by the "Three Dimensions of Elegance" into our brotherhood. They are Brothers Zachary Hawkins, Marcus Higgs, and Jeffery King.

The officers for our 1984-85 year are Brothers Marvin Richardson, President; Norris Minter, Vice President; Kenneth Waters, Secretary; Willie The Sphinx/Winter 1984

Smith, Jr., Treasurer; Alvin Pollard, Jr., Corresponding Secretary; Kelley Webster, Dean of Pledges; Jeffrey Ransom, Assistant Dean of Pledges; Jan Williams, Parliamentarian; DeWayne Charleston, Historian; and Jeffery King, Chaplain.

This Fall the Brothers started the year off with our annual "Back to School Bash" on the campus. The program featured soda, gift packs, dancing, music, and most of all, a voters registration drive as a service to the students, faculty and staff. The chapter's fall informal and formal smokers were held, and participation in the football intramural season made up the month of September. October was the time to enjoy two service projects—visiting the community home for the elderly for an afternoon of bingo and sharing; and hosting several underprivileged children and young adults at their state school in Denton, Texas for a Halloween party.

WEST Colorado state u The 3rd year for Omicron Tau

Greetings to all Brothers from the Brothers of Omicron Tau Chapter in Fort Collins, Colorado, Colorado State University.

We are in our third year of experiencing Alpha brotherhood and are happy to report that we are on the move.

In the Spring semester of 1984, the Chapter Brothers—Joseph Harris, Kevin Franklin, Milton Norton, Allan S m i t h , Dale W i l b u r n , Derrik Halcromb, and Joseph Rogers—officially recorded the second highest grade point average of all seventeen Greek organizations on campus. During the same semester, we took first place in the fourth annual state-wide "Greek Step and Stomp Show."

Activities for the Fall semester included the celebration of our Founders Day on November 10, 1984 and the continuation of our Big Brother, Big Sister program. During the Fall semester, we also organized the Alpha Phi Alpha Study Club,

where the Brothers volunteered time and academically helped fellow students in the areas of science, math, computer languages, and business courses.

ucla Gamma Xi launches Pi Kappa

The Brothers of Gamma Xi Chapter at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) wish to extend their greetings to all of Alphadom.

The past year was a very successful one, and we expect the next one to be even more so. The crowning achievement of last year was the establishment of Pi Kappa Chapter at the California State University, Northridge—which was by Brothers made at Gamma Xi. We wish good luck to Pi Kappa in all their endeavors.

Turning an eye toward the future: on the immediate horizon, Gamma Xi has the honor of being the first undergraduate chapter to host the Southern California Area Founders Day Luncheon. Also in December, we will distribute toys to children who otherwise might not receive them in an effort to make their holidays a little more festive. In early 1985, we are sponsoring our Annual King Week celebration in memoriam of our Brother Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. This annual event is always one the entire campus looks forward to and enjoys.

We would like to congratulate the two lines who crossed the sands at Gamma Xi in 1984: "Ubuyne"—Cecil Howard, Rene Valdry, Brian Williams and Curtis Lipkins; and "Ngambi"— Darryl Willoughby, David Dix and Bernard Ussery.

The officers for 1984-85 are: Terry Allen, President; Brian Williams, Vice President; Daryll W i l l o u g h b y , Secretary; Kevin Golden, Treasurer; David Peters, Dean of Pledges; Rene Valdry, Sergeant-at-Arms; Bernard Ussery, Parliamentarian.

Brother RAMON S. SCRUGGS, age 75, civil rights activist, entered Omega Chapter October 6, 1984, in his home, Los Angeles, California - tragically, through violence, not of his own making.

Brother Scruggs was an ex-officer and Minority Affairs Director of A.T.&T. Corporation until his recent retirement. Brother Scruggs closed out a telephone company career that not only spanned more than a third of a century,, but that has helped enlarge immeasurably the human dimensions of this business.

At a time when most companies in the country had not ventured into the employment of black people - except in menial positions - Brother Scruggs was the first to represent the breakthrough which carried with it a special set of problems and frustrations.

Brother Scruggs experienced both overt and covert expressions of hostility and prejudice - and there was the pressure, too, from the black community and the media that he do right and make good, so that others in time could follow.

In 1973, at the annual Whitney M. Young Jr. Corporate Excellence Award dinner, Brother Scruggs, the main speaker, said: "I want to see black professionals get to the job of providing more services that will compete in an open market. I want to see black businessmen follow the same line."

Brother Scruggs is survived by a son and a daughter - the daughter had the remains moved to Detroit, Michigan for proper interment.
