EDITOR'S REVIEW Greetings . . . The drought of 1988 is bringing parched pastures and steaming hot weather across the nation. In such a time, no one should be burdened with a heavy load. To lighten your backpack and get some needed relief, we suggest that you divest some of your store of federal scrip by making a donation to the National Headquarters Fund Drive. Oh, what a relief it is! . . . LEGACY: The family of mankind was saddened to hear of the death of Brother Frederick Douglass Patterson, former President of Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University) and founder of the United Negro College Fund. A man who exuded dignity and firm determination, Brother Patterson's vision of a unified fundraising structure for private historically-Black colleges has been an unqualified success. Because of his dream, millions of youth have been afforded a college education and escaped the bonds of poverty and despair. Our feature on Brother Patterson includes a tribute by General President Charles C. Teamer, Sr. prepared for memorial services in New York City . . . COVER STORY: This is the second appearance of the Military Beat feature and therein we are pleased to profile Brother Fred A. Gorden, Commandant of Cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. President Dwight Eisenhower, himself a top military leader, identified the "military industrial complex" as perhaps the most powerful political force in this nation; and many leaders of this network are trained at West Point. Thus, Brother Gorden's appointment reflects a monumental achievement. Our thanks to Andrea Hamburger of the Public Affairs Office at West Point for providing us with background information for this story . . . FOCUS: Only the fear of blasphemy deters conjecture that there might be some special pipeline between the Almighty and Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha. Such perilous fantasy aside, however, we are proud to introduce you to Brother Harold Davis, President of the American Baptist Churches in the USA. As you will see in the accompanying sidebar, Brother Davis (a layman) joins a number of Alpha-affiliated institutions. Thanks are extended to Brother Joe C. Thomas, Chairman of the Publications Committee, for his assistance in securing background information for this Focus feature . . . DISTINGUISHED COLLEGIANS: Once again we are pleased to spotlight a cross-section of the College Brothers who are successfully combining their quest for education with a commitment to leadership and service. Additionally, the nomination form for the 1989 edition of Distinguished Collegians is included herein . . . DO YOU HAVE THE WRITING BUG? I would appreciate hearing from Brothers who are interested in contributing to The Sphinx. I do occasionally receive submissions, many of them articles of opinion intended for our Commentary section. Most of these never make it to the printed page-not because we disapprove of the viewpoints expressed - b u t because the rejects have serious defects in structure and reflect a marked paucity of facts to back u p (or even explain) the assertions presented therein. While we continue to encourage Brothers with competence in various fields to help educate us and provoke our thoughts through the discussion of ideas and issues, we would also appreciate receiving articles on the people, places and programs that make Alpha Phi Alpha a force in various local communities across the nation. A by-line (in 24 point type if you wish) is offered to the armchair journalists who answer this call . . . Until next issue . . . MJP.

A Iso shown is third-place winner Carol Lawson (left) of Detroit, and second-place winner Brian Hooker (right) of Atlanta.

The brightest hope for our future remains, as always, our young people. Today, however, all too many of our youth will not make it unless we care enough to help them.

Every single day, the NAACP works to help young people find their way by fighting for equal job opportunities and promotions, neighborhoods free from crime and drugs, schools that really educate our children, a reduction in teenage pregnancies, and answers to health problems including the scourge of AIDS. All of this is in addition to our traditional concerns for the protection of civil rights, the enforcement of civil rights laws, equal justice, and political and economic empowerment.

What is at stake is nothing less than the future of Black America. We can win this fight but we are going to have to do it together, just as together we brought down jim crow. That's why we urge you:

DON'T STAND ON THE SIDELINES COME HOME TO THE NAACP Your membership or tax deductible contribution will help such programs for youth as: BACK TO SCHOOL / STAY IN SCHOOL — More than 100,000 youngsters across the country are encouraged to stay in school or return through tutoring, mentoring, enrichment programs and incentive awards.

NAACP YOUTH COUNCILS — The NAACP has the largest group of organized youths in the black community outside of the black church - more than 35,000 members.

ACT-SO — Through the Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological, and Scientific Olympics academic excellence is promoted among more than 25,000 black students in 450 cities who compete for college scholarships.

JOB READINESS — Under the sponsorship of local branches, these clinics have helped prepare thousands of our young people for job interviews and their first jobs.

THE GENERAL PRESIDENT SPEAKS A Tribute To Frederick D. Patterson Remarks delivered at the memorial service for Brother Frederick D. Patterson, J u n e 10, 1988, Abyssinian Baptist Church. N e w York, N e w York.

Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. is h o n o r e d t o j o i n t o d a y ' s celebration of the life and legacy of our beloved Brother Frederick Douglass Patterson. On behalf of the more than 100,000 collegetrained men w h o make up our organization, located in some 700 college and alumni Chapters in this nation and abroad, we extend our sympathies to the Patterson family and all those who loved and admired this giant of a man.

As we recall the many years of dedicated service Dr. Patterson rendered to this nation and its i n s t i t u t i o n s of p r o g r e s s , w e extend our s y m p a t h i e s to the Patterson family and all those who loved and admired this giant of a man.

As we recall the many years of dedicated service Dr. Patterson rendered to this nation and its institutions of progress, we can b u t p r a i s e T h e A l m i g h t y for having placed him in our midst.

When we consider the tremendous strains placed upon our people during recent years, we can but marvel that we have survived.

But survive we have, in large part due to the foresight of Sons and Daughters of Mother Africa like Frederick Patterson.

As a citizen of the world, Dr. P a t t e r s o n will s u r e l y receive m u c h - d e s e r v e d t r i b u t e s from around the globe. For that reason, I w i l l s p e a k b r i e f l y of h i s contributions to Alpha Phi Alpha — the nation's oldest historicallyBlack collegiate fraternity. In our House of Alpha, as at Tuskegee, within the UNCF and throughout the corporate world, Dr. Patterson cast a shadow which was larger than life itself. Indeed, he walked the same walks and sat in the The Sphinx/Summer 1988

same classrooms as the Founders of Alpha Phi Alpha — and followed up the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Masters degrees with a Ph.D. from the birthplace of Alpha Phi Alpha . . . Cornell University in Ithaca, New York.

Our Founders were immensely proud of this distinguished young scholar, who was the epitome of all t h e i r f o n d e s t h o p e s a n d dreams.

Dr. Patterson was a charter member of our college chapter at Iowa State University and our a l u m n i chapter in Petersburg, Virginia. He was a diligent worker in our early efforts to build a c o m p r e h e n s i v e p r o g r a m of e d u c a t i o n w i t h i n the AfricanAmerican community. He was an inspirational speaker and lecturer w h o e n t h r a l l e d o u r fraternal gatherings with insights into how to accomplish a given task. For 65 years, he was a loyal member of a band dedicated to excellence in all things.

Dr. Patterson's legacy within Alpha Phi Alpha can be seen by noting his successors at Tuskegee, Brothers Luther Foster and Benjamin Payton, inheritors of his vision. His influence can be seen in the recent campaign which gave more than a million dollars (nationally and locally) to community-service groups,

including the UNCF. His spirit pervades our 700 Chapters, which gave more than one million dollars to charitable causes (3/4ths of which were education-related) during 1987 a l o n e . His inspiration is reflected in the many Alpha Men who have provided leadership at the public and private institutions of this land, including all of the Black College Presidents recently cited as among the nation's most effective.

Like our visionary founders, Dr. P a t t e r s o n believed in the power of institutions. As one of the institutions which benefited from his service during a most fruitful life, Alpha Phi Alpha pledges to insure that the young men who come into our midst in future years will know of this man and his awesome contributions. To begin this process, we shall inaugurate the Frederick D. Patterson Award For Excellence in Education. The first recipients will be announced at our 1988 General C o n v e n t i o n in K a n s a s City, Missouri.

Finally, our task is to do more t h a n r e c i t e Dr. P a t t e r s o n ' s a c c o m p l i s h m e n t s ; to do more than put his name on a plaque; to do more than give lip-service to his ideals. The true task for Alpha Phi Alpha in the coming years will be to groom new leaders who will be ready, willing and able to meet the challenges which will face our community, our nation and the world community. By following his example, this shall be done.

Fraternally,

CHARLES C. TEAMER, SR. General President Page 3

An accounting graduate of Troy State University (Ala.), Davis received the Master of Science degree in Business Administration from Auburn University (Ala.) in 1977, ranking among the top 15 percent of his class.

Brother Davis taught accounting at Tuskegee University from 1977 to 1987. In July 1978, he was appointed vice-president and auditor of the Alabama Exchange Bank. He supervised 25 employees and participated in management decisions affecting the operation of the bank.

Upon the retirement of the bank president, Brother Davis was unanimously appointed by the Board of Directors as President, chief executive officer, and member of the Board of Directors.

In addition to his bank responsibilities, Brother Davis has served as P r e s i d e n t of t h e M a c o n C o u n t y Chamber of Commerce for five years.

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

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

There goes the best man in and out For he is an Alpha Man. Page 5

Project Alpha allows volunteers like you to lead man-toman discussions about the personal, economic and legal implications of becoming a parent. Project Alpha also teaches young men that teen-age pregnancy can affect them socially and economically for the rest of their lives.

For example, nearly half of all mothers and fathers under 18 do not finish high school, &gdfr]

Project Alpha Can Protect Young Lives!

Project Alpha Kits have been developed to assist those who are interested in carrying out this important program. They include a Leader's Guide, a "how-to" manual on how to implement the program; an informational brochure; and a videotape entitled "Project Alpha-.

A Man To Man Talk On Teen Pregnancy." Many chapters received free copies of this kit at the 1986 General Convention in Washington, DC - where the packet was unveiled.

If your Chapter is interested in implementing Project Alpha and did not receive a kit in Washington, a Project Alpha Kit will be provided free of charge. Please contact the General Office at (312) 373-1819 to receive your kit.

THE MILITARY BEAT

A Commitment To Duty Brother Fred A. Gorden etched a new page in the nation's history when he was named Commandant of Cadets at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.

At Home On Hallowed Ground Since its founding in 1802, the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, has occupied a colorful and important place in American history. Among its more than 40,000 graduates are such famous names as Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, John J. Pershing, Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, George S. Patton Jr., Benjamin O. Davis, Frank Borman, Mike Collins and Edwin Aldrin. From the two men who composed the first graduating class, the Academy now graduates about 900 new officers each year.

The 16,000 acres which house the academy serve as a training ground for nearly 4,400 cadets aspiring to be leaders in the United States Army. However, the training of officers is but the technical role of West Point. In reality, West Point has served as the interpreter and inculcator of the basic principles and values which define the American experience. Duty, Honor and Country are the watchwords of the West Point philosophy, a system of education designed ultimately to prepare the nation's best and brightest young people to give their lives for the preservation of values deemed important to the American way of life.

W h e n B r o t h e r Fred A. G o r d e n w a s n a m e d Commandant of Cadets at the U. S. Military Academy in August of 1987, he was given primary responsibility for the cadets' military instruction and extracurricular activities. It's no w o n d e r that, despite his low key approach to the question of race, some marvel that a Black American is now the principal instructor of the American vision to those who will undoubtedly be the leaders of tomorrow. It is the c o m m a n d a n t w h o is charged with imbuing cadets with the time-honored traditions of West Point. Often called a soldier's soldier - Brigadier General Gorden is perfect for the job.

Biography Of A Successful Soldier Born in Anniston, Alabama on February 22, 1940, Brother Gorden grew u p in a not atypical extended family in the South. He was raised by his mother's childless sister, first in Atlanta close by his mother and four brothers and sisters. When his aunt - whom he calls "Mother" - moved to Battle Creek, Michigan, the tenyear old Fred moved as well. He graduated from high school there, in 1957, and attended Kellogg Community College for one year. His plan to transfer to Wayne State U n i v e r s i t y w e r e s i d e t r a c k e d w i t h h i s successful application to attend West Point. continued on Page 10 The Sphinx/Summer 1988

After stints as Inspector General at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii; Commander of Field Artillery at Fort O r d , California; and a Director in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security, Brig. Gen. Fred Augustus Gorden is at ease with his West Point assignment.

Page 9

G O R D E N , continued from Page 9 One of two black cadets to enter the academy in 1958, Brother Gorden was the sole black cadet in the class of 601 following first semester exams. He notes no overt discrimination during his time at the academy, just the relentless pressure to succeed. He graduated in 1962 with a Bachelor of Science degree and was commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Field Artillery Branch of the U. S. Regular Army.

General Gorden's first assignment was with the 22nd Artillery in the Canal Zone in 1963. In 1967 he attended the Field Artillery School and was then assigned to the 2nd Battalion 320th Artillery, 101 Airborne Division in the Republic of Vietnam.

After returning from Vietnam, Brother Gorden attended Middlebury College w h e r e he received his masters degree in Spanish Language and Literature. He then returned to West Point as a Spanish instructor in the Department of Foreign Languages from 1969 to 1972.

Brother Gorden's other assignments include Assistant Division Commander, 7th Infantry Division (Light), and Director of Inter-American Region of the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security Affairs, Washington, DC. He was also Executive Officer with the Army Office of the Chief of Legislative Liaison, Commander of Division Artillery with the 7th Infantry Divison; Artillery Battalion Executive Officer with the Eighth U. S. Army in Korea; and Special Assistant to the 25th Infantry Division Artillery Commander with the 25th. He completed his tour with the 25th Infantry as the Division Inspector General.

The military schools Gorden has attended include the Armed Forces Staff College and the National War College, as well as the Basic and Advanced Officer Courses of the Field Artillery School.

A w a r d s a n d d e c o r a t i o n s which General G o r d e n received include the Defense Distinguished Service Medal, the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star with "V" Device and the Meritorious Service Medal. He is also the recipient of the Air Medal and the Army Commendation Medal (with one Oak Leaf Cluster). His combat training resulted in his receiving the Parachutist Badge and the Ranger Tab.

signal that things can be changed for the better.

The first Black graduate of West Point, Henry O. Flipper, was born a slave in 1856. Flipper completed his course of study in 1877, only to be brought up on highly suspect charges a n d dismissed from the Army for conduct unbecoming an officer. It took nearly a century for Flipper's name to be cleared, as he was posthumously granted an honorable discharge in 1976 by the Army Board for Correction of Military Records.

Some eighty years after Flipper's time, Brother Gorden was becoming only the 41st Black cadet to enter and graduate. For four score years, the academy graduated an average of only one Black every two years. The number of Black cadets jumped dramatically, from 9 to 44, after the academy instituted a minority recruitment program in 1968. Today, minority enrollment hovers at around 8% (or nearly 350 cadets). While this is well short of the 16% goal set in the 1968 program, it is a far cry from West Point's lily-white first half-century and the degrading segregation which marked the academy from Flipper's period, the 1870s, through World War II and beyond. continued on Page 12

A Development in Afro-American History General Gorden's previous stints at West Point, first as a cadet and then as a faculty member, instilled within him a love and respect for the institution. And he makes clear that his current post is one among a handful that he actively sought. He considers his appointment a logical career promotion and has expressed some surprise at the attention he has received. His reticence to let race dominate stories on him is a gentle reminder that his appointment is due, first and foremost, to the fact that he is eminently qualified for the post.

Having made that important point, the fact that Fred A. Gorden is a Black man certainly says something about West Point, the Army and the United States of America.

For the history of each of these entities reflects a dereliction of duty relative to Americans of African descent. Brother Gorden's deserved appointment is an installment payment on a legitimate debt. It is a powerful Page 10

LEGACY

T h e Intellectual Pragfmatist Brotker Frederick Douglass Patterson Medal of Freedom Honoree "By his inspiring example of personal excellence and unselfish dedication, he has taught the Nation that, in this land of freedom, no mind should go to waste . . ." reads the inscription accompanying the Presidential Medal of Freedom p r e s e n t e d to Brother Frederick Douglass Patterson, founder of the United Negro College Fund, at the White House last year.

Dr. Patterson, whose life was dedicated to increasing and enhancing educational opportunities for young people, died Tuesday, April 26 at his home in New Rochelle, New York. He was 86 years old. He is survived by his wife, Catherine Moton Patterson, and a son, Fred Patterson II. "Dr. Patterson was an intellectual pragmatist who was driven by the great need he saw around him and his vision of what could be," said United Negro College Fund President Christopher F. Edley. "He motivated c o r p o r a t i o n s a n d p e o p l e to s u p p o r t black h i g h e r education at a time when helping blacks could be risky, and was, at the very least, unpopular."

Success Despite Adversity Dr. Patterson was born October 10, 1901 in Washington, D.C. His parents, William Ross and Mamie Lucille, were both college educated. Orphaned at the age of two, Frederick Patterson was taken to Texas by his sister, Wilhemina, who cared for him until he entered Prairie View State College in Texas in 1915.

In 1923, Dr. Patterson earned a doctorate in veterinary medicine from Iowa State University, where he also studied for a Master of Science degree, which he received in 1927. Five years later, he earned a Ph.D. in veterinary pathology from Cornell University.

At the height of the Depression, 1935, Dr. Patterson became President of Tuskegee Institute, where he had gone in 1928 to head the veterinary division. At Tuskegee, Dr. Patterson founded the Schools of Veterinary Medicine and Engineering and initiated graduate programs in agriculture, home economics and education.

A Visionary Idea As the successor to Booker T. Washington and Robert R. Moton, the first two presidents of Tuskegee, Dr. Patterson discovered that black college presidents would often write him, discussing the financial woes of their schools and asking for advice and introductions to patrons of black colleges.

Support for private, historically black colleges reached its nadir during the Second World War. It was then that The Sphinx/Summer 1988

en support ror private Black coll eges was at its lowe st ehh, Tuskegee President Frederick D. P a t t e r s o n p r o p o s e d , in a Pittsburgh Courier column, that these schools h a n d together ror t h e i r m u t u a l henerit — a n d to raise money nationally. B r o t h e r Patterson later hosted e meeting which established the United Negro College Fund, hased upon his visionary model.

Dr. Patterson proposed, in a column he wrote for the Pittsburgh Courier, that private, historically black colleges should band together for their mutual benefit and raise money nationally. This was how the United Negro College Fund, the first cooperative fund-raising venture in American higher education, was born.

The first UNCF campaign, in 1944, raised $765,000 for 27 colleges. Dr. Patterson's idea attracted the enthusiastic support of several influential philanthropists, including John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Dr. Patterson was proud of the way the United Negro College Fund grew and flourished.

In the past 15 years, UNCF has raised over $450 million for 42 private, historically black colleges and universities.

G O R D E N , continued from Page 10 It is because of this historical record — the bastion of American idealism and ethos revealed as a promoter of bigotry and hypocrisy — that all progress in the military arena is welcomed as a beacon light for the entire nation.

There is in the Black community a justifiable pride at today's 39 Black flag officers (generals and admirals), a new respect for the men and women in uniform in all branches and of all ranks, and a full understanding of the breakthrough achieved by General Gorden. Not only h a s the curriculum b e e n corrected to i n c l u d e our contributions, but one of our own is in charge of the classroom.

A Living, Breathing Symbol of West Point

Building Progressive Institutions After Dr. Patterson left Tuskegee Institute in 1953, he became Educational Director and later the President of the Phelps-Stokes Fund. There he expanded programs and staff significantly and he established the Cooperative College Development Program, which trained managers and other personnel at over 30 historically black colleges.

"No American, black or white, has done more to insure academic opportunities for black Americans than our distinguished past president, Dr. Frederick D. Patterson," said Franklin Williams, President of the Phelps-Stokes Fund. "We were honored to give him the Aggrey Medal in recognition of these contributions last year."

Dr. Patterson was also President of the Robert R. Moton Memorial Institute and was Chairman of the Board until 1981.

Brother Patterson never retired from his work on behalf of black h i g h e r e d u c a t i o n . In the early 1970s, he conceived the College Endowment Funding Plan, a project that would enable small private colleges to increase their endowments at a time when, Dr. Patterson f e a r e d , t h e y w e r e b e c o m i n g t o o d e p e n d e n t on government funds, which could be cut off at any time.

Always persistent, Dr. Patterson travelled the nation educating insurance industry executives and college presidents about how they might work together to create a new kind of endowment fund. It took until 1977 before Dr. Patterson's new dream became a reality. Today, 37 colleges a n d universities participate in the College Endowment Funding Plan; the Congress has passed and P r e s i d e n t Reagan has signed the Challenge Grant Amendments, which are based on Dr. Patterson's plan; and a major foundation has adopted the program so that it could be extended to public colleges as well.

A Legacy of Success Dr. Patterson served two U.S. Presidents on higher education commissions. He wrote for scientific and educational journals a n d p u b l i s h e d several books, including What the Negro Wants. At the time of his death, he was completing his autobiography. In addition to the Presidential Medal of Freedom, Dr. Patterson received numerous awards and honors and 14 honorary degrees.

A memorial service for Brother Patterson was held on June 10, 1988 at the Abyssinian Baptist Church in New York City. General President Charles C. Teamer, Sr. represented Alpha Phi Alpha on this occasion.

Brother Gorden is fully at ease in his new post. After all, West Point was also the place where he met his college sweetheart, wife and best friend, Marcia Ann Stewart. The Gorden's have raised two children, Shawn Nicole a n d Michelle Elizabeth, a n d M r s . G o r d e n describes their return to West Point as a "dream come true."

Practically every reporter who has interviewed the new Commandant of Cadets has been impressed that he seems the embodiment of the academy's ideals. Disci-

Trie Washington Post dubbed Brother Gorden "the living, breathing paean to West Point Weltanschauung - duty, honor, country. Their newest commandant of cadets. And black. In that order, and make no mistake." plined, tall, c o m m a n d i n g , h a n d s o m e , neat, polite, g e n t l e m a n l y , controlled are a m o n g the adjectives frequently used to describe him. He is a professional soldier who commands respect and admiration from superiors, peers, subordinates and students.

The inscription under his name in the '62 yearbook echoes this professionalism: "Constant determination mingled with his desire for perfection brought Gordy to the Dean's List and lifted him over the high bar. Slow to praise, yet never to busy to help, he has grasped the hearts of us all. We view his past with pride, his future with expectation... the Army shall indeed prosper. There was no finer among us." If the 600 white cadets in his class could have such confidence in the lone Black among their ranks, few should be surprised at his progress thus far. Few should be surprised if we hear his name for years to come. For now, he is right at home as Commandant of Cadets.

If It Is To Be, It Is Up To Me Brother Harold Davis, a commis-sioned lay minister, has a long career of leadership with his denomination the American Baptist Churches in the U. S. A. At his home church, McGee Avenue Baptist Church in Berkeley, California, he has served as Chairman of the Board of Trustees, deacon and church school leader. Regionally, he has served as President of the Board of Managers of the American Baptist Churches of the West and as Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the American Baptist Seminary of the West, also located in Berkeley.

Nationally, he has been Chairman of the ABC Board of Educational Ministries and a member of the Board of Managers for the Ministers and Missionaries Retirement Plan. And, for the past two years, he has served as Vice President of the denomination. With such a track record of service, it should be no suprise that in January Brother Davis was named President of the American Baptist Churches in the U.S.A. Professionally, Brother Davis is an urban housing expert. His 17-year (and counting) tenure as Executive Director of the Housing Authority of Oakland marks him as the dean of executives among large, urban housing authorities. In that position, he manages some 9,500 units of housing for more than 27,000 residents. He also presides over a $50 million annual budget and commands the Housing Authority Police Force and its public works department. His successful management of the Oakland authority (along with his previous work as Executive Director of the Alameda County Redevelopment Agency from 1964 to 1968) has earned him respect as one of the nation's top experts on urban redevelopment. That respect, in turn, makes him a much sought-after speaker and consultant on urban affairs, among both the public and private sectors. At the grassroots level, "Harold Davis Avenue" in Hayward, California serves to reflect the esteem he has generated locally during his career.

If you wonder how the New Orleans native can balance two such e n o r m o u s responsibilities, consider that another institution - the YMCA - has also benefited from his leadership and service. Brother Davis is a former President of the National Council of the YMCAs, following stints on the Board of the Berkeley YMCA and as Board Chairman for the Pacific Region of the National Council.

He is currently a member of the National Board and the National Executive Committee for the YMCA. His other community service affiliations include life membership in the NAACP and Alpha Phi Alpha; as well as volunteer work with Children's Hospital of Northern California and Providence Hospital in Oakland.

Brother Davis, 56, credits his family and extended family, within the community and especially the church, with molding the two important cornerstones of his life — a commitment to the church and a healthy respect for education. Brother Davis graduated from Southern University, cum laude, in 1952 and in 1957, after Army The Sphinx/Summer 1988

In J a n u a r y , Brother Harold Davis was installed as President of the American Baptist Churches in the

USA. service as a commissioned officer, he earned the Master of Arts d e g r e e , cum laude, from the University of California at Berkeley. He made an early decision that local government was the forum in which he could most effectively impact society and his first job as a social worker started his meteoric climb up the career ladder.

Brother Davis is also a family man. He and Barbara (May) Davis were married in 1955. She is a former high school mathematics teacher who currently serves as a guidance counselor in the Oakland public schools. The Davises are the parents of two children: Harold, Jr., a veterinary student at the University of California, and Deborah, a television producer in the Bay Area.

As President of the American Baptists, Brother Davis will steer the denomination through a number of critical decisions during his two year term (through 1989). He is confident of progress, as are those who entrusted the leadership of this sacred institution to him. Brother Davis has no doubt that God has called him to an important ministry and he has asked ABC members to adopt a credo he has applied to his own life for many years: If it is to be, it is up to me. That philosophy is bound to reap rewards for the entire ABC family.

ALPHA ATHLETES

Back On The Front Line A former Rookie of the Year and Most Valuable Player in the NBA, Brother Wes Unseld has returned to his first love â&#x20AC;&#x201D; being on the court.

The Sphinx/Summer 1988

Brother Wes Unseld is a champion. Whether it is on the basketball court or as an executive, Unseld knows how to win.

Coach Kevin Loughery also recognized that Unseld is a proven winner and asked him to join the coaching staff this season as an assistant coach.

This year, Unseld who remains as a Vice President, returned to his first loveâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;being on the court.

It was during his retirement ceremonies in 1981 that owner Abe Pollin announced that Unseld was to remain with the team as a Vice President. Pollin felt then that Unseld's winnings ways would be a positive force in the day-to-day operation of the team.

As an executive Unseld has devoted a majority of his time to making special appearances and has become a very p o p u l a r a n d prolific speaker. In a d d i t i o n he coordinated the Bullets Baltimore office, worked as a color analyst for Bullets telecasts on WDCA-TV and was involved in brodcast development, sponsorships and community realtions. As if that was not enough, he is also a spokesperson for the Captial Centre and has worked on various projects for the Arena staff.

The 6-7 Unseld, who was best known for his bonejarring picks and fullcourt outlet passes, was chosen by the Bullets on the first round of the 1968 NBA draft, the second player selected overall, after twice earning AilAmerican honors at the University of Louisville.

He was an instant success. In his initial NBA season, Unseld was chosen both Rookie-of-the-Year and the League's Most Valuable Player. He and Wilt Chamberlain are the only men ever to have been the recipients of both awards in the same season. Unseld also was selected to play in t h e NBA All-Star g a m e , his first of five appearances. The Bullets did well,too,improving their record from 38-46 the previous year to 57-25 with Wes. The Bullets, who had never experienced a winning season before he arrived, recorded 10-plus .500 seasons when he was a member of the team. Unseld was a major force in sending the Bullets to 12 consecutive playoff appearances. He was voted the Most Valuable Player ot the 1978 NBA C h a m p i o n s h i p Series that b r o u g h t Washington its first sports title in 36 years.

Although he is a man who doesn't discuss such things, Unseld's achievements off the court are monumental, also. In 1975, he was the first recipient of the Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award, which is given annually to the NBA player or coach making the greatest civic contribution to his community. A past Vice President of the NBA Players Association, he began working as a volunteer at Kernan Hospital soon after joining the Bullets and has continued that association through the years. Recently, Unseld was named to the Mt. St. Mary's College Board of Trustees. Much of his free time is devoted to assisting his wife Connie at the Unselds' School.

Wes, Connie and their children, Kimberly (14), and Westly (12) reside in Baltimore, Maryland.

Huel D. Perkins

YOUNG BLACKS' ATTITUDES TOWARD EDUCATION MUST BE REVERSED Item: A young black girl appears on national television and laments the fact that blacks w h o achieve academically are regarded as "white" by their peers.

Item: A sociologist who has done considerable research in the housing projects of a major metropolis finds that young black males who do well in school are considered "effeminate."

Item: In s o m e u r b a n s c h o o l s , absenteeism has reached crisis proportions, and the dropout rate runs as high as 45 percent of the student body.

Item: In 1984, blacks received fewer bachelor's and master's degrees than in 1978. Other minority groups made gains at both levels.

Item: Although on the national level an excess of doctorates exists in such fields as psychology, chemistry, geology, history, law, meteorology, physics, and political science, the number of blacks holding doctorates in these fields is minuscule.

Item: More than three times as many graduate degrees are conferred on non-resident aliens as on black Americans.

Taken as a group, these items portend dark days for dark Americans.

Faith in the power of education to provide greater opportunity, to foster u p w a r d mobility for the race has been shaken and must be restored.

M i n o r i t i e s , in p a r t i c u l a r , h a v e historically regarded education as the vehicle for the betterment of one's lot in this country. As the citations above illustrative, large numbers of American blacks a p p e a r to be indifferent, almost cynical, toward schooling and higher education.

How important has education been in the history of black people?

The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 gave us freedom, but nothing else. If ever the necessity for trained minds was dramatized, it was in the instant that the freedom of black

people was proclaimed. We were g r a n t e d freedom from b o n d a g e .

Freedom from ignorance, however, was another matter entirely. And freedom from ignorance was to be attempted by the Freedman's Bureau, the establishment of black colleges, the missionary zeal of northerners who chose to come South to teach.

This necessity for education is the dominant theme of Margaret Walker's novel Jubilee, which describes the plight of emancipated blacks immediately following the Proclamation.

Her heroine has but one wish for her children—for them to be able to read, to write, and to cipher. The lessons of history are available for all to heed, if we would but do so.

By its very nature, education is an evolutionary process. It d e m a n d s time, and it unfolds chronologically.

Youth will say that e d u c a t i o n is boring and a waste of time. We must say to them that many things in life are boring. Research is tedious, but its r e s u l t s can e n r i c h o u r lives i m m e a s u r a b l y . Many jobs in the work-a-day world are without excitement, but they are essentials which m u s t be p e r f o r m e d if we are to remain civilized. Yes, even eating three meals a day can be humdrum.

But s o m e h o w we m a n a g e to get beyond the boredom and nourish our bodies so that we might sustain life.

The nature of education makes it difficult to convince young blacks of its long-term rewards. Many blacks grow to maturity in surroundings which do not place e m p h a s i s on education . . . where there are no role models to inspire, motivate, guide, and constantly encourage.

Small wonder that the young woman referred to a b o v e found herself distanced from her peers. None of them had the clear notion that the ultimate effect of a good education c o u l d be to r e m o v e t h e m from

SUPPORT THE EDUCATION FOUNDATION The Sphinx/Summer 1988

restricted, sometimes debilitating environments. And they will never see t h e p i c t u r e clearly u n l e s s a concerted effort is made to reverse negative attitudes.

What can and must be done to address this problem which is certain to bring about the intellectual suicide of an entire race of people?

First, we must find ways to provide alternative environments for those who wish to achieve academically.

While this might become a memmoth undertaking involving thousands of dollars, it seems to work. The most notable instance is that of a young black man, transported from innercity Chicago to a prep school in New England and from there to Harvard, who is now a writer on the staff of Neivsweek magazine. Such instances must be repeated a hundred-fold. An organization of which I am a member is currently engaged in obtaining funds to do just this sort of thing. It proposes to bring high school juniors and seniors from the cities to college campuses during the summer for experiences in academic enrichment, encouragement, sharpening of skills —but most of all for the reinforcing of positive attitudes toward education.

These summer academies, conducted away from the temptations of gangs, idleness, and the tedium of the large c i t i e s , m i g h t save a few of o u r youngsters, if not the entire school population. If such inroads are made into reversing some of the attitudes currently held by young blacks, there may be a groundswell of awareness of education's importance.

Second, a national campaign on the scale of what is now being done in c o n n e c t i o n w i t h t h e d e a d l y disease AIDS m u s t be l a u n c h e d .

Nobody is telling young blacks that dropping out of school mortgages their entire future. Nobody is driving home the fact that there are more black men in prisons than there are in the colleges and universities of this country. Nobody is making the point Continued on page 18

Page 17

Confined from page 17

that these incarcerations are d u e largely to lack of education and the capacity to find jobs a n d earn a decent living. Nobody is underscoring the fact that industry buys skills and that without a salable commodity, i.e., education, young blacks will be forever consigned to menial jobs, low pay, and early lay-offs. Nobody is saying, "Stay in School—Claim your F u t u r e . " A n y t h i n g that America wishes to do can be done if enough people s u p p o r t the cause. While cigarette smoking has not completely disappeared, figures indicate that national awareness of the fact that smoking can be injurious to one's health has significantly reduced the number of persons who smoke. And while we may never get every black youngster to aspire to a Ph.D. in n u c l e a r p h y s i c s , we can save a greater number of these youngsters w h o are in d a n g e r of eventually becoming society's rejects.

Third, we m u s t re-examine the economic situation in this country which keeps blacks in low-paying jobs with no hope of upward mobility, which at every level separates the

"haves" from the "have nots," which dictates that athletes be paid salaries which embarrass even themselves, and which prohibits our best minds from o b t a i n i n g an e d u c a t i o n .

Especially must black youngsters be educated to the fact that there are other avenues to success and security than athletics and e n t e r t a i n m e n t , although current salaries and contracts would no so indicate. Why should a youngster devote more time to learning to read than to learning to shoot a basketball when he has never in his life heard of a college p r o f e s s o r s i g n i n g on for " e i g h t m i l l i o n d o l l a r s over a five-year period"? This re-thinking of priorities must be laid at the feet of wealthy foundations and philanthropic f o u n d a t i o n s which have to some extent achieved their present status through the efforts of others who contributed to the success of the company or the operation. Before it is too late, they must now open their coffers, as never before, in a effort to save a race of people from intellectual suicide. Indeed, if the current trend continues, a generation of blacks will have turned their backs on the one

historical i m p e r a t i v e w h i c h h a s separated the great nations from those which have sunk into oblivion —education of the greatest numbers of citizens possible.

The crisis in black America is, indeed, the moral equivalent of war.

It this state of affairs is allowed to go unchecked, the effects will be devastating, not only on the future of minorities in this country, but on the future of civilization as we now know it. Education teaches us that we are human beings with a stake in the future of mankind. Education teaches us not to rob a convenience store for fifty dollars and spend the rest of our lives with a police record. Education m a k e s u s a w a r e t h a t t h e r e is a tomorrow which belongs to those who prepare for it. Educaton teaches us that blacks w h o develop their minds do not become less "black"; rather, education enables all people to walk upright in the true stature of human dignity and human worth.

Reversing y o u n g blacks' c u r r e n t a t t i t u d e s toward e d u c a t i o n m u s t become a national priority. Nothing short of such an all-out effort will suffice.

Alpha Gamma Lambda honors L H. Stanton On a Sunday in October 1987, the Brothers of Alpha Gamma Lambda honored Brother L. H. Stanton by d e d i c a t i n g the n e w l y r e n o v a t e d c h a p t e r Library a n d C o n f e r e n c e Room in his name. Brother Stanton, a fifty year Alpha, was responsible for organizing the first Alpha Job Placement at one of the early national c o n v e n t i o n s . The founder and p u b l i s h e r of the "National Scene" magazine, Brother Stanton has been well k n o w n for r e c r u i t i n g a n d placing Alphas in the New York City job market.

Brother Stanton, well loved and respected throughout the country, has long been an innovative and i m a g i n a t i v e A l p h a . His s t a t u r e among the brothers of Alpha Gamma Lambda is legendary. It m u s t be noted that Brother Stanton is among the select group of brothers who were responsible for purchasing the current chapter house, located at 282 Convent Avenue (141st Street), New York City.

T h e B r o t h e r s of Kappa Rho Chapter extend a warm greeting to all "financial alphas". Membership w a s i n c r e a s e d by n i n e with the initiation of the s p r i n g '87 line, "Soldiers of a Dream". Initiated on May 2, 1987 were Jay B. Codrington, James E. Graves, III, Derix Skelton, Michael Sinclair, Kenneth Watson, Tyrone Tucker, Darin Gillenwater, Adolph Everett, and Donald Gibbs.

This was the first line to cross the burning sands in two years.

These neophytes are anxious to carry on the great traditions set by our fraternity. They already have started a weekly series of reports entitled "Person of the Week". This idea of brother Derix Skelton was created to "Inform" the c a m p u s community of local and historical strivings of significance other than what can be learned in the classrooms.

The chapter plans on making '87-'88 a g r e a t school year. With a big brother/big sister program planned with the Alpha Angels and the 4th Annual Miss Black & Gold Pageant to be launched in the spring, our hands will be full. We, also hope to

plan a drug awareness program, an AIDS A w a r e n e s s P r o g r a m , a n d participate in Hands Across America in May. But w e w o n ' t forget to promote "Project Alpha" and the F r a t e r n a l Mission to t h e U n i t e d Negro College Fund, NAACP, and the National Urban League.

Present officers of the chapter for the 1987-88 chapter year are as follows: Brother John Fletcher, Undergraduate Chapter Advisor, Derix Skelton, President; Kenneth Watson, Jr., Vice-President; Richard E. Velasco, Jr., Secretary; Darin Gillenwater, Treasurer; James E.

old dominion u Nu Theta celebrates its 10th Anniversary The brothers of Nu Theta Chapter at O l d D o m i n i o n U n i v e r s i t y in Norfolk, Virginia, bring you sincere fraternal greetings, and we hope e v e r y o n e h a d t h e s a m e t y p e of banner year in 1987 as we did.

Our year began with the addition of t w o n e w b r o t h e r s to A l p h a â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Brothers Anthony Alston and Wayne Byrd. Although the pledge line was a success, the high point for the s e m e s t e r w a s o u r c h a p t e r ' s 10th Anniversary celebration. We started here at ODU on April 24, 1977, and on April 24, 1987, the flame of Alpha was still burning deep in everyone's h e a r t . We s t a r t e d t h e w e e k e n d celebration with a reception at the Holiday Inn/Waterside in downtown Norfolk. Of the 52 brothers to cross into Nu Theta, 30 were there that night. It was really special being in the same room with that much chapter history. On Saturday, we had a basketball game with the "Old Heads" vs the "New Boys". It was a pretty even contest until Spring '84 and '85 took over, then the old dudes didn't have a chance. There was much fun to be had, and we grabbed it all. That evening, the sweethearts put on the second annual "Sweetheart Step-Show Extravaganza", with Page 30

p r o c e e d s g o i n g to b e n e f i t t h e homeless of Norfolk. After the show, there was a dance in Webb Center, as the younger brothers continued to get to know the men who founded what is being carried on today. On Sunday morning, we all got out of bed and went to worship together at M o u n t P l e a s a n t Baptist C h u r c h .

After church, we had a Smoker. The speaker was Nu Theta's own Antonio Perez Kemp, w h o pledged in the spring of 1982. After the Smoker, the b r o t h e r s w h o w e r e left w e n t to D a r r y l ' s r e s t a u r a n t for o n e last g a t h e r i n g . All in all, it w a s a n outstanding weekend, enjoyed by everyone who attended.

After a lengthy summer vacation, we came back to school with two main things on our minds: having a line, and winning our 3rd consecutive step show championship. We did both. Clyde Vincent Griggs, Ryan Orlando Jones, and Kevin Lee Minor were "Alphasized" on November 13, 1987, a n d o n e w e e k , l a t e r , we stepped 10 brothers strong to our 3rd straight win. The fall semester was a very busy one for Nu Theta, as we participated in and sponsored many activities. These ranged from helping with freshman move-in, being the m a i n g r e e k force b e h i n d Black Freshman Week, to sponsoring "APhi-A at the Movies", w h e r e we sponsored a trip to see "Hollywood Shuffle" and "She's Gotta' Have It." Toward the end of the semester, we h a d a H a l l o w e e n P a r t y for t h e neighborhood kids, and a massive canned food drive to benefit the Food Bank of Southeastern Virginia.

For A l p h a W e e k , w e d i d a n introduction to Kwanza or "Black Christmas"; a greek "Family Feud" which pitted a team of fraternity men against a team of sorority women (the sorors won) with the winning team getting a d o n a t i o n to their favorite charity from Nu Theta; a Smoker; an anniversary night dance which raised $100.00 dollars for the Joy Fund; and we capped off the week with a trip to James Madison University to step in Xi Delta's annual Founder's Day Step-Show. It was a great semester.

The year ended on a slightly sad n o t e ; w e lost t h r e e b r o t h e r s to December graduation. Brothers Rodney Perry, Augustus Patterson, Jr.,

and Alton (Jay) Harris will be missed tremendously, but we are sure they will do just fine in life after college.

The brothers who will lead the new b r e e d i n t o 1988 are as follows: Brothers Wayne Byrd, President; Ryan J o n e s , Vice-President; Anthony Alston, Secretary; C. Vincent Griggs, Treasurer; Leander Johnson, Dean-ofPledges; Kevin Minor, ^4DP; Darryl Cheatham, Education Director; Jason Carter, Editor-to-the-Sphinx; and Kevin McNeill, Sweetheart Court Coordinator.

We wish you all our best, brothers . . . Until next time . . . '06!

Pennsylvania a busy year for Omicron Delta Lambda Greetings Brothers in Alphadom: T h e b r o t h e r s of Omicron Delta Lambda C h a p t e r , P h i l a d e l p h i a , Pennsylvania delight in extending well wishes to all who abide within this the House of Alpha. Indeed the b a s i c p u r p o s e of t h i s l e t t e r is essentially to u p d a t e the brotherhood with respect to our chapters' activities-however, let's also take this opportunity to challenge "all who abide within" to ever greater levels of achievement. We invite all to keep as our collective focus the finding of solutions concerning the seven following p r o n o u n c e m e n t s which were affirmed and adopted in the Public Policy Statement of our 80th anniversary national convention: (1) Free South Africa: A Continuing Dream, (2) Drug Abuse: A Nightmare, (3) Higher Education: A Matter of Degree, (4) Voter Education: Political Realities (5) Business And Economic Development, (6) Black Youth Unemployment/Juvenile Delinquency, and (7) Child Abuse: Another Nightmare.

With these thoughts in mind, ODL would like the brotherhood to know that we also know how to have a good time. Summertime has been one of our most socially eventful times with 1987 being no exception.

Following our annual July 4th picnic, we ushered in our 1987 fall year with a "first class" boat ride along the Delaware River whose theme was, "Jewels on the Nile - Voyage I Reclammations", co-sponsored with The Sphinx/Summer 1988

the lovely ladies of Omega Omega C h a p t e r of A l p h a K a p p a A l p h a Sorority, Inc. We'll save our best adjectives and superlatives for our next boat r i d e — w e ' r e h o p i n g to make this an annual event. Let's keep it modest and say that indeed a great time was had by all!

We always delight in sharing the fellowship of A-PHI-A and took the lead in s u g g e s t i n g to the Philadelphia Chapters that we move our a n n u a l collective F o u n d e r s Day Celebration from its January date to the date that gave life to our great o r g a n i z a t i o n — D e c e m b e r 4. O u r chapter president, Brother Selvin G o r d o n , p r e s i d e d o v e r t h e '87 ceremony in which all five of the area chapters participated. The events' theme, "Reflection for Projection," epitomized in its' essence what all such gatherings should - Inspiration.

It is truly an inspiration when Alpha " O l d " a n d A l p h a " Y o u n g " comm e m o r a t e the past a n d p r o v i d e visions for the future.

The ideals of our fraternity were e s p e c i a l l y p u t into action on D e c e m b e r 12, 1987 w h e n w e sponsored our first "Project Alpha" Seminar. A charity's success can not truly be measured in the eyes of its' sponsor until the reasons for its' need are eliminated. We have much unfinished business towards eradicating the problems associated with teenage pregnancy. We must return from moral decay and make our young people aware of the fact that as Africans the backbone of our culture centered around the maintaining of the family structure.

We look forward to making 1988 a banner year for ODL as we revitalize our ramks with "new blood". We gave our aspirants a meaningful "glimpse at the Alpha Light" as we presented our chapter Smoker, February 7, 1988. Currently we are entrusting the legacy of our renown to twelve noble sphinxmen who endeavor to become good Alpha men.

As l a s t y e a r , w e c o n t i n u e to participate in a local intra-fraternal Greek basketball league. Its always a pleasure to take those Ques, Kappas, and Sigmas "to the hoop" whenever we can. The rivalries are great but the games are always in the spirit of comradery and good clean fun.

L e t s ' s i g n off a s a l w a y s b y The Sphinx/Summer 1988

rededicating ourselves to the ideals of our dear fraternity. We are asking as we did in our opening paragraph that we all Stand Up and Be Counted by the content of our convictions to uphold social justice.

The Brothers of Eta Theta Lambda wish to extend their warm fraternal greetings throughout the "House of Alpha."

As we enter our 28th year as a Chapter on Long Island, the symbol shown demonstrates our tangible commitment to Black Colleges and Universities.

u of maryland lota Zeta boosts o banner year The themes of social and economic development highlighted the academic year of 1987-1988 for " k e y " Iota Zeta Chapter at the University of Maryland, College Park.

S p e a k i n g to packed a u d i e n c e s during the academic year, Brothers Dick Gregory, Tony Brown, a n d William Gray each stressed the need for social and economic development in the Black community.

In October Brother Gregory spoke to the campus about big business.

they control economics, government, social unrest and even life and death in America. This same network, said Brother Gregory, is responsible for everything ranging from AIDS to presidential assassinations to the cocaine-induced death of Maryland basketball star Len Bias. Brother Gregory believes that the deadly disease AIDS did not just come about, but was the result of conscious germ war experimentation conducted by the U.S. government in the 1960's. He claimed that in 1962, millions of Americans thinking they were getting polio vaccinations were injected with the cancer-causing SD-40 virus. This was the beginning of AIDS. Creating a sense of racial pride is t h e k e y to p r o g r e s s for Black Americans, journalist Brother Tony B r o w n s a i d in a s p e e c h l a s t November. He believes racial pride and economic gain are necessary to o v e r c o m e r a c i s m . We can o n l y advance through economic gain says Brown, because "the only color of freedom is green."

Kicking off Black History Month, Brother Hon. Bill Gray stated that although Brother Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream of ending legal racism has been fulfilled, blacks must still strive to overcome the economic barriers that limit them.

Brother Gray, who has represented Pennsylvania's 2nd District since 1979, is serving his second term as c h a i r m a n of t h e H o u s e B u d g e t C o m m i t t e e , which advises the president on economic policy.

He said the Reagan Administration is actually closing the doors that were opened two decades ago during the civil rights movement. "The issue for blacks in the '80s and '90s is not whether you're smart enough to get into a university, but whether you can afford the tuition."

The chapter also featured for Black H i s t o r y M o n t h an art exhibit of Swaziland Tapestries. This was cosponsored by the Parents Association G a l l e r y of t h e U n i v e r s i t y of Maryland. The exhibit featured the hand woven works of Albert Reck and was successfully kicked off with a reception of over 100 people.

In a d d i t i o n to s e r v i c e to t h e campus community, IZ has reached out to the community-at-large by making a weekly commitment to a

tutorial program at the Bunker Hill Elementary School in Washington, D.C. In participation with Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc., tutorial services are provided to students d e e m e d "gifted." In a d d i t i o n to a c a d e m i c t u t o r i n g we have Rap sessions with the kids about school, friends, or anything that they want to talk about.

It is efforts such as these that earned Iota Zeta College Chapter of the Year for the State of Maryland.

We'd like to welcome all 1988 initiates to Alphadom. Special congratulations go out to our own neophytes - Rodney Tyson, Darryle Jones, Marlon Hall, Drew Wade, Don McCaskil, a n d Michael Gills. 窶認rank Johnson

brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fratern i t y , I n c . A l p h a Nu L a m b d a P r e s i d e n t Frank C y r u s held two executive committee meetings during the summer in preparation for the new fraternal year.

At the first meeting in September, the chapter adopted the plans of the executive committee.

Brother Charlie Hardy conducted a Risk Management Workshop for the brothers of Gamma Phi (Tuskegee University) a n d O m i c r o n Kappa (Auburn University).

President Cyrus appointed a task force to plan and execute strategies to lobby against certain legislative bills in the Alabama Legislative that w e r e i n t r o d u c e d by t h e M a c o n County representative. The task force was successful in getting most of the bills withdrawn. General Counsel, Brother Milton Davis, was chairman of the task force.

The Outreach Committee, chaired

by B r o t h e r J u d g e A u b r y F o r d , worked with young student groups.

He arranged for two young people to attend the Leadership Workshop at Fisk University during the summer of 1987. All expenses were paid for by the Chapter.

Brother Miles Robinson, chairman of t h e F o u n d e r s ' Day p r o g r a m , planned an interesting and enjoyable affair. T h e c o m m i t t e e w a s a l s o comprised of brothers representing chapters at Tuskegee University and Auburn University.

The three chapters set up a display depicting the history of the Alpha o r g a n i z a t i o n , as well as their

respective memorabilia. The event attracted a large audience to the Tuskegee Municipal Complex.

u of alabama Kappa Alpha claims Chapter of the Year Salutations and greetings from the Brothers of Kappa Alpha Chapter University of Alabama.

It is our pleasure to inform you of the recent events that have ocurred within our chapter during the past year. Once again, we were named Chapter of the Year by the fraternity's state association. This was the second year in a row that we have received this honor and the sixth time in the last seven years. The receiving of this award was brought about as the result of several months

of service to community, involvement with several aspects of leadership and our devotion to scholarship.

Service has always been a major facet of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and that fact is very evident in our chapter. Over the past year, we have been involved in many community service projects. Two of our main projects include involvement with emotionally disturbed children at a local developmental center. We also spend two weekends in every month helping underprivileged children of Tuscaloosa organize a Boy Scout troop. Our most recent project was our presentation of the fraternity's o w n n a t i o n a l p r o g r a m : "Project Alpha - A Man to Man Talk on Teenage Pregnancy". We, along with several distinguished guest speakers, managed to reach the minds and hearts of local youth and inform them of the consequences of unsafe sex.

The Kappa Alpha Chapter is very fortunate to have brothers who are involved in Several campus leaders h i p p o s i t i o n s . We h a v e a c t i v e participation in the Afro American Association, Student Government Association and also several professional organizations and h o n o r a r i e s such as the National Society of Black Engineers and the American Association of Cost Engineers. We, as Alpha men, believe that it is important to have a wide variety of interests within the organization.

We have brothers participating in such activities as sky diving and campus radio programming. A wide Page 35

variety of interests can only make the fraternity stronger.

The brothers of our chapter realize that we are not in college to "major in Alpha". Scholarship is foremost important. Recently we were the top Black Greek letter organization as far as scholarship is concerned and we are continuing to reach higher. We have initiated an academic program which encourages Brothers to obtain as high a quality point average as p o s s i b l e . This p r o g r a m , e n t i t l e d "Kappa Alpha's Search for Academic Excellence", is the only one of its kind k n o w n on c a m p u s and is a bright spot on the chapter's academic history.

Kappa Alpha is certainly very proud of its sweetheart organization; one of whom is Ms. Cara VaShawn Weaver, who is the reigning national Miss Black and Gold. We are very proud of Cara and appreciate her time and efforts in bringing national exposure to the chapter.

Strong hearts and able minds are the basis of any viable organization.

We realize that Brothers with strong leadership qualities are the keys to success. With this thought in mind the officers elected for the 1987-88 academic year were Randall C. Hardy, President; James King, Vice President; Marcus J. Givan, Secretary/Publicity Chairman; Michael Coleman, Treasurer/ Social Chairman; Kevin Johnson, Dean of Pledges; Richard Coleman, Historian; Larry Lewis, Parliamentarian; and Jeffery Jackson, Dean of Educational Activities. Other brothers serving as chairmen of other committees are Willis P u g h , Service Chairman; Desmond Holoman, Sweetheart Committee Chairman; and Pavis Narcisse, Grievance Committee Chairman.

Recently we initiated eight young men into the fraternity. They are Brothers James Floyd, Torrence Ford, David Long, Steven Newbem, Spencer Thomas, Marc Wallace, Roy Watson, and John Winston. Other Brothers of Kappa Alpha are Anthony Bothwell, Phillip Brown, Michael Burt, Carlton Hamilton, Andrei Jones, Floyd Jones, Reginald McCall, E d w a r d P u g h , Vincent Spencer, C h a r l e s S t u t t s , Jerome Walker, Anthony Sims and Tunstall Wilson. With the aid of these Brothers and by the grace of God we look forward to the future of Kappa Alpha and will continue to keep in touch.

u of tennessee knoxville Bright Outlook for Mu Iota F r a t e r n a l g r e e t i n g s from t h e brothers of the Mu Iota Chapter at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, where the light of Alpha continues to shine bright.

The Mu Iota brothers would like to e x t e n d their a p p r e c i a t i o n to the brothers of Alpha South for their support and cooperation during the regional convention held in Knoxville during the Winter of 87.

Mu Iota began the 87-88 school year by hosting its Ninth Annual Freshman Tea to welcome minority freshmen to our campus community.

Forty minority freshman, brothers, sweethearts and staff members were inspired a n d e n c o u r a g e d at this event by the message delivered by Dr. Charles Edington, Director of Admissions. Following the Tea, the brothers set aside their coats and ties and invited everyone to join them in partying in the usual Alpha style. In continuing with the effort to make t h e f r e s h m e n s t u d e n t s feel welcomed, Mu Iota hosted its Second Annual Freshmen Talent Revue to give freshmen the opportunity to show off their talents later in the quarter.

The honors went to Ms. Stefanie Bolton, a sophomore majoring in communications/broadcasting from Memphis, TN. Mu Iota continued its efforts by hosting a $500 Stepping Extravaganza as a grand finale to a week of homecoming events. Once again the brothers proved that the grand-daddy of all black greeks step the best. The brothers from Iota Nu chapter claimed the prize after a crowd arousing performance.

Mu Iota has also been active in the c o m m u n i t y . On H a l l o w e e n , t h e brothers dressed in costumes and visited a local childrens hospital and delivered prizes and treats to children w h o w e r e u n a b l e to go trick or treating. The brothers also actively p a r t i c i p a t e d in t h e a n n u a l Interfraternity Council/Panhellenic Christmas party hosted for children in the community.

During the Winter of 88 Mu Iota lead five tenaious men onward and upward towards the light. Those five men, known as the Five Pharaohs of Sagicity, w e r e Terrence G i b s o n , Cedric Alford, Marquis J o h n s o n , Aundra Johnson, and Eli Halbert.

In c e l e b r a t i o n of B r o t h e r Dr. Martin L. Kings birthday the brothers and sphinxmen participated in Knoxville's first march organized in King's honor. Mu Iota also applauds the efforts of four brothers w h o will graduate this year. Those brothers include John Tomes, mechanical engineering; Kevin Latham, communiThe Sphinx/Summer 1988

cations; Reginald Maclin, industrial engineering; and Mario Harding, pre-medicine.

The Alpha Sweethearts at UTK have also had a very successful year.

They began by winning both Best Female and Best Overall categories in the sweetheart step show sponsored

by Kappa Alpha Psi at Knoxville College. In support of the brothers of Mu Beta we v e n t u r e d to Martin, Tennessee to participate in their annual Alpha Winter Weekend. Once again our sweethearts displayed their talents and captured the title of Best Little Sisters at the Little Sister/ Brother Step Show. Our sweethearts have proven that not only are the Alphas the best, but also everyone who is associated with them.

The chapter officers for 87-88 are Norris Kirby, President; Felix Mays, Vice-President; Reginald Maclin, Treasurer; Mario Harding, Recording Secretary/'Sweetheart Liason; Christopher C a l h o u n , Corresponding Secretary/ House Manager; Reginald McGregor, Dean of Pledges, John Claybrooks, Historian; and Kevin L a t h a m , step-master! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Norris Kirby

tuskegee u Adventurous Year at G a m m a Phi

A warm and heartfelt greeting to all of t h o s e w i t h i n the realm of Alpha. The brothers of Gamma Phi Chapter, Tuskegee University have begun another adventurous year at full steam. 1988 will undoubtedly be another most successful period of perserverance and service.

Since our last appearance in the "Sphinx" magazine we have strived to reveal "light" to the darkest corners known to mankind. During the spring of '87 we welcomed the bodacious and distinguished new brothers, " T h e G u a r d i a n s of t h e G o l d e n Sphinx" into this great fraternity.

This o u t s t a n d i n g cast of brothers "exalted" the graduation of one of its line brothers, Brother Patrick Oates, to whom we extend our congratulations and well wishes. During the Fall of 1988 "The Black Protectors of the A n c i e n t Egyptian Mysteries" The Sphinx/Summer 1988

joined our ranks and proceeded to add their own unique flair to this worldwide brotherhood. Gamma Phi Chapter also extended warm welcomes to brothers who transfered to Tuskegee University and have become integral parts of this chapter, these include; Brothers Curtis Thomas, Phi Chapter, Ohio U., John F. Drew III, Kansas State U , Alford Williams and Leon Philips, Gamma Delta, U. of Arkansas Pine Bluff, C r a i g D o w d e l l , Pi C h a p t e r , Cleveland State U , Terrance Barker, Alpha Alpha, U. of Cincinatti, Wayne Felton, Kappa Zeta, Utica College, Anthony Walker, U. of Michigan, Ken B. Johnson, Nu Chi, U. of the Pacific, and Vince Wilburn, Gamma Omicron, Knoxville College. These brothers obviously have contributed to the v e r s a t i l i t y of t h i s c h a p t e r b y broadening our spectrum throughout the U.S. We eagerly anticipated the visit of Brother Charles Teamer whom we proudly presented for our founders day program. Gamma Phi chapter was founded April 15, 1948 by 33 insightful gentlemen whom agreed with those values set forth by our Seven Jewels. Hosting the fraternity president will surely be a fitting way to honor the founding of our chapter.

G a m m a Phi, being a s o u t h e r n based chapter, emphasizes quality i n v o l v e m e n t in c o m m u n i t y a n d campus politics. During the period of the last year our participations have included the representation of the endeavors of our black brothers and sisters by co-sponsoring buses from the campus to the March on Forsyth, Ga., the supporting of Slave City in Selma, Al. by delivering c a n n e d foods and second hand clothing to the deprived brothers and sisters in that city.

On Dec. 4, 1987 the Gamma Phi brothers in cooperation with our alumni chapter, Alpha Nu Lambda, honored the Founding Fathers with a televised program in which merit awards for community service were given. That event was followed by a candlelight march for Brother M. L. King, a man of peace and love for all mankind. Through perserverance and dedication to uplift of mankind we h a v e m a n a g e d m a n y accomplishments; donation of a VCR to the Tuskegee University library

and a storybook hour held weekly for the young children of Tuskegee, Al. The Brothers of Gamma Phi also sponsored a bus trip for university students to participate in the state capital demonstration against the Confederate Flag (in support of the NAACP and SCLC). There have been several Project Alpha programs and the sponsorship of a Big Brother program.

Brother Tony Melton was selected Brother of the Year 1987-88. Chapter officers for the year are; Aubrey Johnson, President; John F. Drew III, Vice President; Darren Mosely, Treasurer; David Brooks, Recording Secretary; Philip Carswell, Corresponding Secretary; M a r s h a l Brown, Historian; and Alonzo Towner, Chaplain.

Gamma Phi wishes much success to all Brothers of Alpha in hopes the light will always shine in your presence!! â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Christopher K. Greene

SOUTHWEST tcu Busy Year for Eta Psi

Greetings once again from the Lone Star State. We the brothers of Eta Psi Chapter-Texas C h r i s t i a n University, would like to bring you u p to date on our activities in Ft. Worth, Texas.

The Fall '87 Semester was filled with several activities. We'll start with October. After doing a service project with the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha, we sponsored a group of H i g h School s t u d e n t s to our campus' weekly Agape (Love Feast) Program. The purpose of this event was to aquaint the students with the campus and college life.

The month of November was very p r o d u c t i v e . We kicked it off by entering three Greek Shows: Nov. 6 East Texas State Univ., Nov. 7 Kappa Alpha Psi-TCU (1st Place), and Nov. 21 Delta Sigma Theta-SMU/ Dallas Alumni (2nd Place). On November 15 w e celebrated our c h a p t e r s 16th Annivesary with a serious dinner prepared by brothers and Angels and Page 37

arkansas Pi Lambda leads in Little Rock As we move t h r o u g h this new year, the b r o t h e r s of Pi L a m b d a Chapter, Little Rock, Arkansas, are happy to extend best wishes to all graduate and undergraduate chapters for continued success in the name of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Brother Lucious Powell, who leads Pi Lambda as President, was selected and elected because he is a shining example of that which epitomizes the spirit of our fraternity. As a distinguished man of Alpha with devoted leadership abilities, Brother Powell very fittingly leads Pi Lambda. His c o n t r i b u t i o n s are m a n y a n d his commitment forever. The year has been unequivocally successful and enjoyable because of his presence at the helm. For this reason, there is general agreement that Brother Powell serves our chapter in the finest tradition.

Other officers are Brothers: Herbert Scott, Vice President; Charles Green, Secretary; Larry Christopher, Assistant Secretary; Charles Reed, Financial Secretary; Billy Watson, Treasurer; Junious Babbs, Dean of Pledges; Curtis S y k e s , Historian; J o h n Talley, Chaplain; Lionel Ward, Editor-to-The Sphinx; Acie Johnson, Parliamentarian; and Arthur Coffee, Sergeant-at-Arms.

Inspired by the efforts of other graduate chapters and by the fact that there is a great difference in the n u m b e r of active brothers in the chapter and inactive brothers in the city, a campaign to reclaim brothers is ongoing. A most essential element of our strategy to activate inactive brothers is marked by, among other things, a questionnaire conducted by The Sphinx/Summer 1988

mail. The number of recent graduates and new and old, long-term residents of the communityh have greatly influenced this laboring. In so doing, we are hopeful of renewing, revising and reclaiming brothers; thus, re-enlisting each Alpha brother's active relationship and interest in the efforts of the chapter, both physically and financially. It should perhaps be noted that several inactive brothers, as represented by their written and verbal comments, do still possess solid fraternal feelings. Chairperson: Brother Lionel Ward.

Pi Lambda, the oldest chapter in the state of Arkansas, is involved in s e v e r a l c o m m u n i t y a n d civic activities typically. One grand affair can be noted in the 37th Annual Debutantes' Ball which was held on December 26, 1987 in the Statehouse Convention Center, Excelsoir Hotel.

C o n s i s t e n t with well-established customs, the charity ball which presented thirty-nine young ladies benefitted the National Urban League, NAACP, YMCA, UNCF, and PartnersIn-Education. Brother Cutris Sykes was Debutante Ball Chairman and Brother Jerry Power was Co-Chairman.

Once again, a kingly evening of little comparison was enjoyed by all.

Pi Lambda sponsored a van in the city-wide parade commemorating the Third National Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. In Little Rock, like many cities across the nation, the late Brother King has a tremendous impact which is profoundly characteristic of goodness. Brothers joined an impressive e n t o u r a g e yet alive and pushing forward toward the heights espoused by Brother King. Among the brothers who recorded a brief message broadcasted in celebration were Brothers: Jerry Power, Dr. J. J. Lacey, Jr., C u r t i s L e w i s , J e r r y M a l o n e , H e r b e r t Scott, J u n i o u s Babbs, and Don Murray.

So powerful was the late Brother King and others that their dreams and aspirations paved the road for m a n y s u c h b r o t h e r s as B r o t h e r Sherman Tate, who was elected as chairman-elect of the Greater Little Rock Chamber of Commerce for 1988.

Becoming the first black man to be so declared in the state of Arkansas, Brother Tate, who is employed with ARKLA, Inc. (Arkansas Louisiana Gas) as Vice President of Community

and Consumer Relations, certainly helps to keep the fraternity moving forward.

Recently, the chapter showed forth its commitment to the youth of the community by joining in the efforts of the Little Rock Chapter of the National Pan-Hellenic Council, Incorporated. Together, APA, and other black greek o r g a n i z a t i o n s which make up the local Council employed a very successful, significant a p p r o a c h to p r o v i d i n g over 100 young males at the secondary schoolage level with reasons for "Developing and Preserving Mind Power." The symposium promoted Education and Communication; urged information and understanding relative to Teenage P r e g n a n c y and Life T h r e a t e n i n g Diseases; and finally, called attention to Crime/Drugs and Life Vocations.

By no means is this the end. The Council envisions a similar undertaking for the area females faced with the same conditions, conflicts, and pressures. Pi Lambda, of course, will once again work to give the next s y m p o s i u m the same distinctive quality. The major contribution of Brothers: Lucious Powell, Curtis Sykes, James Wilson, Chairman of the Program Committeee for the Council, and other brothers obviously created the support and possibilities c o n s i d e r a b l y i m p o r t a n t to t h e symposium's offerings. This was a very special experience for the group of young, black men in attendance.

Pi Lambda is also a part of the Little Rock School District's initiative, Partners In Education (PIE). The elementary school we are partnered with, Washington Elementary School, has received financial backings in ventures for the 96% black children enrolled. Additionally, brothers have had important experiences in the c l a s s r o o m w h i c h are c r u c i a l to s h a p i n g t h e lives of s o m e very impressionable young people. The commitment Pi Lambda has in this regards will always be, in a couple of words, worth it.

A very special salute to the 1987 Alpha Brother of the Year: Brother Charles Reed.

We open the semester with our Annual Free Martin Luther King, Jr. C e l e b r a t i o n (Party) on January 15. This year it was held in the TCU Gym with some 400 plus attending. On Jan. 18 we sponsored a group of talented students called the 'King Kids' to sing on program.

We opened the month of February with our A n n u a l Spring Smoker, which produced several good prospects and for a fundraiser we sponsored a Valentine Picture Booth.

This b e i n g our first year on the Interfraternity Council brought Special Recognition by the council to two brothers: Anthony C. Renteria and Gregory D. Scholars. Of course we participated and performed in Black History Month Events.

In conclusion we would like to assure you that Eta Psi is constantly looking onward and upward toward the light, and will continue to do so. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Blake W. Moorman

u of arkansas Kappa Kappa strives for Leadership, Scholarship 6 Service The B r o t h e r s of Kappa Kappa Chapter at the University of Arkansas ended the fall semester upholding the high name of Alpha Phi Alpha.

The busy semester was highlighted by numerous achievements by the chapter. All of the activities were made possible by the hard work of each Brother, and their commitment Page 40

to L e a d e r s h i p , S c h o l a r s h i p , a n d Service.

The semester began with the chapter keeping in step with the times as the Spring 87 initiates became certified under the new risk management program. Next, Kappa Kappa showed its community involvement by extending h e l p t o w a r d t h e relocation of a neighborhood church.

The semester progressed rapidly as the Brothers found themselves again extending their efforts. The annual Halloween Carnival was another success. The chapter kept with tradition by making halloween "happen" for a number of children in the community.

Kappa Kappa was privileged to be able to host the State Leadership Conference. The chapter was bestowed a visit by the Southwestern Region Vice P r e s i d e n t , Brother Randall Palmer, III during this event. The agenda consisted of discussions on h a z i n g , p l e d g i n g , s u b m i t t i n g of forms and risk management.

T h a n k s g i v i n g arrived with the Brothers of Kappa Kappa proving its commitment to service by presenting a n e e d y family with a basket of delights for the holiday. December rolled in with the Brothers being involved in various activities. The chapter presented the annual Miss Black and Gold Scholarship Pageant to the public. The organization and contribution of every Brother made this, and also our first annual Alpha Phi Alpha Basketball Tournament, a huge success.

Scholastically, Kappa Kappa remained very competitive. The chapter

again ranked high academically among all g r e e k s at t h e U n i v e r s i t y of Arkansas. Brothers Lindsay Hart and Rudie Galbert were elected to the offices of president a n d minority affairs chairman of IFC respectively.

Also, Brother Reginald Murdock has the p r e s i d e n t position of MSAC(Minority Students Action Committee).

The brothers of Gamma Tau Lambda C h a p t e r , B e a u m o n t , TX e x t e n d fraternal greetings to all brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha.

In December, 1987, the chapter held its annual reclamation activity, Football Sunday. Inactive brothers were contacted and encouraged to attend an afternoon of fraternization while w a t c h i n g Sunday Football.

Three brothers were reclaimed and have since become very active in fraternal affairs. Also in December, the brothers celebrated Founders Day with the b r o t h e r s of Epsilon Phi Lambda Chapter of Port Arthur, TX. The keynote speaker was Gamma Tau Lambda's own William F. Jones, who is currently serving his second year as President of the Texas State

Council of Alpha Chapters.

1988 got off to a great start with the brothers receiving notification that its application for the State of Texas Adopt A Highway program had been accepted. The chapter was assigned a 2 mile stretch of Highway 90 to keep litter free. The highway department is currently fabricating a sign to identify the site being adopted by Alpha Phi Alpha.

In February, 1988, the chapter was awared 2nd place in Beaumont's annual Mardi Gras parade.

At the state conference in Dallas, Tx., the chapter went with a purpose of being selected as host of the 1990 state conference. The chapter went well prepared with support from the Beaumont Visitors and Convention Bureau. The Chapter was successful in that effort.

March was an exciting month for Gamma Tau Lambda as it was the month that the charter was received for Boy Scout Troop 735. The troop is cosponsored by the chapter and West Tabernacle Baptist Church. Brother James Perry, Jr. currently serves as Scout Master for the troop. Plans w e r e also finalized for the Teen Pregnancy Seminar to be held April 16th.

Brother HENRY HUTCHINS, JR. was the Superintendent of the Mount Pleasant School District in San Jose, where he served since 1979. He was Assistant Superintendent for the Monterey Peninsula Unified School District from 1968-1979.

On Thursday, August 27, 1987, a g o o d f r i e n d a n d brother, Hank Hutchins, passed on to Omega Chapter.

Hank was a multifaceted man, blessed with intelect, integrity, and intuition. The youngest of two sons born to Henry Sr. and Jessye Hutchins, his early years were spent in Albany, Georgia. A precocious s t u d e n t , and scholar, he c o m p l e t e d his h i g h school e d u c a t i o n in 1948 as class valedictorian. During the next four years, he served in the Air Force, an assignment that took him to Japan, Okinawa, Korea and China.

After completing his tour of duty, Hank graduated Summa Cum Laude from Albany State College in 1956, where he received a Baccalaureate degree in Elementary Education.

Following completion of a Masters of Arts degree in the History and Philosophy of Education at New York University (1957), Hank enrolled at the University of Oklahoma in Norman, Oklahoma. In 1963, he completed his doctoral study and received his Doctor of Education degree in School Administration.

A charter member of Kappa Alpha Lambda, Chapter #524, the list of Hank's accomplishments and contributions to public education is extensive, spanning over 30 years of dedicated service and commitment to quality. Whether serving as the Principal of the Hazard Laboratory School (a K-9 school in Albany, Ga.) or as the Superintendent of the Mt. Pleasant School District in San Jose, Ca., he exemplified those ideals and concepts which engendered respect and rapport with those w h o sought excellence. Within the communities where he resided, he was a "change agent", creating new opportunities, o p e n i n g new vistas, building better "bridges" for future leaders. "Some people see things as they are and ask why."

Hank saw things that never were, and asked, "why not?"

Dr. Henry Hutchins, Jr. 55, of Monterey and the world, passed away, joining his beloved wife Bertha, who died only 2 short years ago. During his lifetime, Hank received many accolades and honors, tributes for his contributions and service to others. One such honorâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Roasting of Hank Hutchins, will long remain in the hearts of those who loved Hank.

T h e S p h i n x / S u m m e r 1988

Though he was restrained that evening by pangs of pain, his quiet smile and that familiar twinkle in his eye served as silent testimony that Hank knew how much we really cared.

There are many things we could say to commemorate this man who gently touched so many lives. Perhaps the most poignant are the words of those who shared Hank with us.

"He was many things to many many people, but he always had time to be a father". Even had he not been my son, he would have still been my best friend." A daughter, a mother, a brother, several nieces and nephews, and a countless host of friends and "buddies" mourn his passing. In deed and thought, he was a man for all reasons. His memory and majesty will forever remain in our hearts.

Brother CLIFFORD PAUL JOHNSON entered Omega Chapter January 6, 1988.

Brother Johnson, born to Emile and Elizabeth Johnson, in Baldwin, Louisiana, March 28, 1909. He was one who had love for all mankind, and it is certain that "when the roll is called up yonder", his name will be in the place of prominence.

C.P. initiated into Alpha Phi A l p h a , Alpha Rho Chapter, Morehouse College, 1927 in Atlanta, Georgia. He was a Life Member for over 50 years and acknowledged, "If you want to join a bunch . . . a jolly good bunch, you'd better join A Phi A." Morehouse College, better known as "The House" of Atlanta, Georgia, and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. were two of C.P.'s g r e a t e s t l o v e s . He g a v e h i m s e l f to b o t h in t h e m o s t distinguished manner. He also remained in zealous support of his undergraduate school. He knew it to be a builder of men of intellect, character, supported and promoted its strength until his death. He was the consummate Morehouse man and enjoyed the honor of being the senior graduate of the college in the Northwest. The second stanza of "Dear Old Morehouse" epitomizes his fraternal zeal.

C.P. is one of the eight Brothers who was a Charter Member of Alpha Sigma Lambda Chapter which was organized and set up on November 5, 1932 in Dallas, Texas.

At the 28th General Convention assembled at the seat of Beta Lambda Chapter, Kansas City, Missouri, December 27-31, 1940, a panel discussion was undertaken by selected members of the Fratenity which included "C.P." as well as past General President/Historian Brother Charles H. Wesley. The discussion topic "The Negro in the National Defense Program". The status of the Black in military service since the last World War and the problem created by the approach of another war were the major concern. Emphasis was also directed toward the employment of Blacks in war industries.

C.P. was i n s t r u m e n t a l in establishing a n o t h e r alumni, Gamma Pi Lambda, Galveston, Texas, 1947.

C.P. moved to the great northwest in 1959 and immediately became active in Zeta Pi Lambda until the time of passing to

Page 47

Omega Chapter. At the 61st Anniversary Convention held in Los Angeles, California on August, 1968, C.P. took office as the Western Vice President of the 54th Administration (1968-1970).

Zeta Pi Lambda gave honor and tribute to C.P, May 21, 1983, for his services and dedication to his Fraternity and community with a "Roast". Brother Johnson was known by the Brothers of the Great Northwest as the "Godfather", as well as Historian.

A high priority of C.P. was the education of children and continuing education for the career of young Black men. He wanted all citizens of the U.S.A. to be educated because he feared it was too dangerous to have ignorant neighbors. Having this in mind, Zeta Pi Lambda recognized C.P. in 1986 by e s t a b l i s h i n g a C.P. J o h n s o n E d u c a t i o n a l S c h o l a r s h i p Foundation. The foundation was most important to C.P. because of the endowment aspect of financing this continuous cause.

C.P. felt the 4.0 point student usually gained recognition by financial assistance, but many of the better men of Alpha needed scholarship assistance were not a 4.0 pointer. The C.P. Johnson Education Scholarship Foundation was presented to the people of Seattle at the 1987 Black & Gold Ball.

C.P. touched the lives of several generation of young people in school in Texas and the Shoreline/Northshore School District of Seattle, Washington. He was a skillful negotiator for the educational association at the bargaining table and could leave those tough sessions having made new friends.

Brother Johnson was a societal man which was of civic and governmental import, and addressed the needs of those in needs of advocacy deserved. He felt and commanded attention.

Until the end, he was precinct committee person for his district, and proud Democrat that he was, represented the State of Washington at the 1980 National Democratic Convention and was the only 1984 delegate for Jesse Jackson from his district.

Who was Brother C.P. Johnson if not the proud family man, the benevolent patriarch? In the Johnson-Braxton-Harris household, to his mother-in-law, Mother Mable Harris, he was a son; to his sister-in-law, Freddie Marie Braxton, he was a brother. With no biological children of his own, he was father and uncle to their children and godfather to many of the children of his family's many friends. To his wife, Dorothy Harris Johnson, he was husband, friend, running buddy, lover and love. His wife was active with him in fraternity and life, and a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Dorothy says of her husband, "He was a today and tomorrow man. C.P. was not about yesterday."

The secret of C.P.'s life was his belief in God and his commitment to his faith. Upon meeting C.P. one would learn very quickly that he was a Morehouse man, an Alpha and a Catholic. Indeed, he loved churches and was a most ecumenical man. He was friend to priest and preacher and in love with the community of the people of his churches. No slave to ritual and dogma, C.P. encouraged his priests to extend themselves, to examine their beliefs and to take risks in their thinking, their preaching, and their doing.

C.P, true to what might have been expected, did not "go gently into the night". On the morning of his death, as his priest, some family members and friends, sought, through prayer to facilitate his journey to God's land, C.P. aroused himself and said: "You can pray me out of this world if you want, but I am praying to stay."

Granted a bit more time, a few short hours later, one hand in his wife's hand . . . his celebratory spirit ascended to God.
