— . ——

1 recently spent 16 days in South Africa as a member of a delegation of College Presidents, at the invitation of the National Association For Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO) and the South African National Congress. The problems confronting education as we move toward the 21st century are numerous, especially in the developing nations, the third world community and in those areas still emerging from centuries of colonial domination. In South Africa, the education of the major population has been wholly neglected, and now, the problem of education must be addressed immediately. This together The Sphinx/Fall 1990

educational expertise throughout the world community of academia are being consulted. 1 believe it is vital for the United States to foster not only the extension of democracy, but to realize the principle and precepts of democracy can only be maintained a n d grow w i t h i n an e d u c a t e d population. While in South Africa, I was invited to deliver a lecture on Policy and Public Education. Our party was also invited to visit Namibia, who like South Africa, is desperately attempting to improve the educational level of its people. I believe that NAFEO, the United States, and major social and fraternal organizations will play an every increasing role in the delivery of education throughout the world. The continent of Africa will remain

vital to the economic propensity, national defense and future development of the United States and the western world. Brothers, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and the association predominately made up of African American males must be involved and reach out as the world grows closer. My being asked to be involved in this visit, and I hope subsequent efforts to raise the educational level on the African continent and the rest of the world, is not just an honor for me personally, but I believe, a reaffirmation of what educators and education has accomplished in the United States. In this process, I hope to forge closer educational ties internationally for African American Higher Education and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. Brothers, those of you who have had the opportunity to visit with me over the last year have heard me say, over and over again, that the future is yours. Let all of us in Alpha claim it.

Fraternally,

Henry Ponder General President Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY'S DESK Report New Chapter Officers

Immediately!

The Chapter Officers you elect for the 1990-91 fraternal year can only serve you effectively if they are abreast of current regulations and procedures within the Fraternity. To facilitate that process, file the Director of Chapter Officers form and order your Chapter Guide 1990-91. to designate which Brother should receive this packet of materials. The Chapter's copy of the Standing Orders, 1990 Edition, will also be included in the guide packet, as well as, the new forms.

Your Cooperation is Vital Our Constitution mandates that the election of Chapter Officers be held in April for College Chapters and in May for Alumni Chapters. The names and addresses of these officers are to be reported to the General Office within ten (10) days of the election. The Directory of Chapter Officers form for 1991 has been mailed under several mailings. A space is provided on this form to allow College Chapters to designate a permanent address during the 1990 school term. Failure to promptly complete and file this form is the primary cause of a breakdown in communication between the General Office and the various Chapters. TheChapterPresidentshould insure that this form is mailed and should feel free to contact the General Office in Chicago to confirm its receipt.

DRIVE RECOGNIZES NO LIMITS TO LEARNING.

African-American achievers share a common trait: a profound commitment, an inner drive, that lets nothing stand in the way of education. Because they know that education is critical for success. At RJR Nabisco, we share that drive for educational opportunity. So that every African-American son and daughter can achieve the potential within them.

RJR Nabisco: Committed to Education A century of support for minority education-including millions of dollars nationally for scholarships, faculty and facilities-from Richard J.

Alpha Workshop you wouldn't receive credit because we never received it. Additionally, if you paid by credit card, cash, or through your chapter, please refer to the remittance number on the receipt returned by the G.O. You should never give cash to anyone without getting a signed written receipt. Q. Our chapter sent a grand tax payment to the General Office for a brother, but the G.O. said they could not document his membership in the Fraternity. What does that mean? Darryl R. Matthews, Sr. Director Membership Services Q. Why does "No Report" appear next to our chapter in the back of the Sphinx? We sent the "Directory of Chapter Officers" form to our District Director. Why are National's records always wrong? A. I'm sure you did. That doesn't mean it was received in the General Office as is required by the Constitution and Bylaws. Often times brothers think because another brother tells them he sent something to the G.O, whether it was money for grand tax or a required chapter report, that it must be so. The common belief is " . . . nothing goes right at Nationals." All brothers are human and sometimes make mistakes, (Yes even those of us at the G.O.) but you must hold your chapter and regional officers accountable and not just pass it off as incompetence on the part of the General Office staff. Also the "Directory of ChapterOfficers" form is due in the G.O. not later than ten (10) days after the election of officers. Elections must occur by constitutional mandate in April for college chapters, and May for alumni chapters. Even if you re-elect the entire group of sitting officers you must still file this form annually. Q. I contributed to the National Headquarters Building Fund Drive, and have not received credit. How can I get this corrected? A. When a payment is in dispute it is a common business practice to present copies of both sides of your cancelled check verifying payment. If your check was not cancelled by either Drexel Bank or Citicorp in Chicago, Illinois, then

The Sphinx/Fall 1990

Q. I met a person who claimed to be a brother. When I questioned him he didn't know the "challenge", but he knew the "grip". What should I have done? Was he "perpetrating" the "frat"? A. If by perpetrate you mean "posing as a member, but not an officially initiated, duly recognized brother" he might have been. For whatever reason, there are people who desire membership in our noble fraternity so much that they make the outlandish claim of being a brother without undergoing the membership intake process. Some go so far as to buy hats, lavalieres, shirts, and any other paraphernalia they come across. Some attend chapter meetings but never pay grand tax for fear that they may be discovered. Usually when an individual is cloaked in paraphernalia, brothers give him the grip, throw out the verbal and physical challenges, and invite him to chapter meetings or even to initiations without any verifiable proof of authentic membership. Knowing the secrets of our illustrious Fraternity does not make one a brother. Conversely many of us know legitimate members who are "rusty" when it comes to the Ritual. The term "ghost brother" is a reference to a person who was conducted through the official ritualistic ceremony of the Fraternity (not a legitimate brother however). The paperwork or the initiation fees (or both) were never sent to the General Office. This individual may not have received approval, from the Regional Vice President or his designee, for initiation. Of course the G.O. would not have a record of his membership. When you meet someone who claims to be a member of the Fraternity and

desires membership in your chapter please write the G.O. (as required in the Constitution & By-laws) and request a transfer of his membership. Include all pertinent information such as member ID number, chapter and date of initiation, and last chapter of affiliation. Until his membership is authenticated by the G.O. there should not be any further interaction with him. Please do not call the G.O. for verification of membership. The staff is instructed not to give that information over the phone. Q. When I call the General Office I want to speak to a brother. Why do I have to explain my problem(s) to the clerical staff? A. For many brothers who desire a quick solution to the problems that impede efficient chapter administration, this is not a concern. The G.O. receives thousands of calls each week. Many are routine calls such as request for forms and/or information i.e.: How much is our chapter tax?; Is Quincy Jones a brother? How can I order fraternal paraphernalia? Can you send me the addresses, and phone numbers of the Alphas in Congress? How much is life membership now? I should have bought it when it was $200.00. Can I purchase your mailing list? etc., etc. While we are probably on another call when yours came in, or out in the field providing services, such as staff support at Regional Conventions; We would love to talk to all of our brothers, especially the financial ones. Effective time management prevents us from taking every call, and our staff are trained to be especially efficient at handling your request. Q. Can we sue Vanilla Ice [a rap musician] for using our chant "Ice Ice Baby" in his hit record? A. There is no record or evidence that the Fraternity adopted this chant as an official chant or slogan. Nor is there any evidence that the Fraternity or any of its chapters has filed for copyright protection of this chant. While the Brothers appearing in the movie School Daze are shown stepping to that chant, and it is readily identified with us, it is doubtful that a significant legal case could be made or is economically feasible. There are more pressing matters on the Fraternity's agenda.

Reaching Out To Help Others

When Howard University holds its graduation ceremonies Raleigh Burch Jr. will be among those receiving a master's degree in urban studies. Yet nothing in his transcripts truly reflects his achievements. To appreciate them, follow Burch home — to the cubicle where he sleeps inside a shelter for homeless people at Second and D streets NW. This is where he has lived for more than a year as a result of a near-fatal encounter with crack cocaine that left him bankrupt. It is here, squeezed in with nearly 1,000 other downtrodden men and women, that Burch has learned some truths about urban life — and especially his own — in a way that no college classroom could have taught. "When I got to the shelter, I was still holding on to the idea that all I needed was money to regain my social acceptability," Burch recalled. "1 used the last few dollars I had to invest in drugs with the pretense of selling them, but ended up using them." His problem, he said, turned out to be less a lack of cash than a crisis of selfcenteredness and low self-esteem. Burch, 40, had a clue that this might be the case for other men, but certainly not himself, when he began his quest for a graduate degree in 1984. His hy-

Dearest Brother: I am writing at this time to inform you of the happiness and serenity I have today. Being an "Alpha man" has given me the ability to steadfastly stick to the principles and tenets that contribute growth and progress in life. The enclosed article is included to give some sense of where I have been and where I have come to. There are many people and organizations I must thank, but as through most of my life since graduating from college in 1977 "I thank C iod" for the inspiration and support that the fraternity has always inspired.Presently I am an Addictions Treatment Counselor. I work for the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Services Administration (ADASA) here in the District of Columbia. Although presently still housed at the Center For Creative Non Violence (CCNV)

pothesis had been compelling, honed from his experiences growing up in Manhattan, serving in the U. S. Air Force, majoring in sociology at Francis Marion College in South Carolina and working as a security guard at Howard University Hospital. "So many of the men that I knew were being chewed up and spit out by society that I knew something was wrong," Burch recalled. " I began to believe that if black men could develop a new perspective on life, they could beat this system, which I felt was geared towards the success of the white male." What that new perspective was, Burch did not know. But he would find out — the hard way. In 1988, with only one credit to go, Burch dropped out of school and quit his job as a security guard. His excuse: Life was not fair, so why bother? He said he had become frustrated with white people, black people, school, work, women. You name it, he was sick of it. "My girlfriend and I had broke up, and it just seemed like nobody appreciated the things I was trying to do," he explained. Rather than mastering urban studies, he would try selling cocaine, which would eventually master him.

I envision soon moving into my own place. Therefore, I am a member of the homeless community by choice, not necessity as in days gone by. All in all the experience has been healthy because the principles long taught to me during my "pledgesphinxman-days" come back. But the difference today is that I am using them in an honest effort to the best of my ability. Silence, perseverance, honesty, integrity, mobility and excellence today are part of my everyday repertoire. Again, thanks for your time brother. And extend my best to all in Alphaland. I graduated from Howard University May 12th, 1990 with a M.A. in Urban Studies, through the Grace. In peace and serenity I remain your Brother, Raleigh L. Burch Jr.

"It started out as a social thing," Burch recalled. "It was all about partying and having fun, getting away from the problems I was having at home and at work" Before long, Burch was living in a motel with a cocaine dealer from Cincinnati. One night, as the two men cruised the streets of the city, the dealer's beeper went off. As he walked toward a nearby telephone booth, someone with a sa wed-off shotgun appeared out of nowhere and blew his head off. Burch fled to the homeless shelter, run by the Community for Creative Non-Violence, and was admitted into the New Way drug treatment program. There, Burch began to reconsider his graduate school hypothesis, since it was now apparent he was the one who really needed a new perspective. "I started looking at myself and asking, 'How in the hell could a helluva guy like you come to this point?'" Burch recalled. "For me, the answer was that I had been looking at the world as if everything revolved around me. I could not recall ever doing anything good for anybody without expecting something in return." The result was constant pain —of disappointment, anger, and resentment. Using drugs to fix these feelings only p e r p e t u a t e d the myth of self-reliance and made his problems worse. Through the volunteers at the CCNV, Burch discovered that he would either have to trust others, or die. To his credit, he chose life, and a better one than he has ever known. Carolyn Stroman, associate professor of human communication studies at Howard, assisted Burch, and helped him prepare a successful defense of his graduate thesis. "I was more than happy to help Raleigh," she said. "I have known him for five years. And I can say, as a result of his experience, that he is a changed man." For Burch, who has been serving as a volunteer drug abuse counselor at the homeless shelter, his master's degree was just one of many benefits that have accrued from his new way of life. Most importantly, he has found joy. "Once I stopped thinking so much about myself and started helping others, I started feeling better," he said. The Sphinx/Fall 1990

BROTHER LIONEL HODGE NEWSOM NOVEMBER 11, 1919 - JANUARY An Alpha Man Speaks of his Fraternity Born in Wichita Falls, Texas, Brother Lionel Hodge Newsom was reared in St. Louis, Missouri. He and his wife, Maxine Emerson Newsom, are parents of one daughter, Jacqueline Carol (the wife of Brother Curtis O. Peters). Brother Newsom's chosen profession is education and in that field he has compiled a record of service which clearly stands u p to his own rigorous standard of excellence. In his own training, in teaching, administration, in c o m m u n i t y service - Brother Newsom's achievements are a credit to his Fraternity, which in 1979 bestowed upon him its highest honor (The Alpha Award of Merit). Brother N e w s o m is an h o n o r s graduate of Lincoln University (Missouri) and received his masters degree in Sociology from The University of Michigan. After further study in Social Administration at The Ohio State University, he went on to receive a Ph.D. from Washington University (St. Louis, Missouri) in the field of SociologyAnthropology. Dr. Newsom entered the armed forces in 1943 as a Private. He was honorably discharged in 1946 with the rank of First Lieutenant, after serving in the American, China, Burma and India theaters. Following his discharge, he began an illustrious professional career as an Instructor of History and Sociology at his alma mater, Lincoln University. After one year, he moved on to become Associate Professor, teaching in the same fields, at Southern University in Louisiana. While working toward his doctorate, Brother Newsom was Associate Professor of Sociology at Stowe Teachers College in St. Louis. He returned to Southern in 1951 as Professor of Sociology and, in 1956, was named head of that department. In 1960, Dr. Newsom became Professor of Sociology and Director of Woodrow Wilson General Honors at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia. Here he served until 1964, when he was installed as President of Barber-Scotia College in Concord, North Carolina. In 1966, Brother Newsom returned to Atlanta to become Associate Director of the Higher Educational Opportu-

This article is reprinted from Spring 1980 issue of The Sphinx magazine nity in the South project of the Southern Regional Education Board. He was named President of Johnson C. Smith University (Charlotte, NC) in 1969 and served there until his selection to his present post as President of Central State University in Wilberforce, Ohio. In related activities, Brother N e w s o m ' s i n v o l v e m e n t has been equally impressive. He is a leader in professional organizations, and has always earned the respect of his peers. Since coming to Central State in 1972, he has already served as Chairman of the Inter-University Council of Ohio (1975-1976) and as President of the Ohio College Association (1976-77). Even as this article was being prepared, The Sphinx received an independent release noting that Brother Newsom had been named to the Advisory Council to the Secretary of the Army, as Civilian Aide for Southeast Ohio. What no chronology of job titles and professional affiliations can possibly impart is the impact of a person on those who come into contact with him. In the case of Lionel H. Newsom, most who have known him have come to respect him. This is perhaps best evidenced by his citations for distinguished alumni achievement by both Lincoln University and Washington University:

by his Award for Excellence from the University of Cincinnati; and by the institutions (Davidson College, Bowling Green State University, Lincoln University, Wright State, Western Michigan University and Miami University of Ohio) which have conferred upon him honorary doctorates. I saw the light of Alpha Phi Alpha at Alpha Psi, Lincoln University, later serving as Treasurer of the chapter. I represented Alpha Chi (Fisk University) at the 1940 General Convention in Kansas City; served as President of Epsilon (University of Michigan) and later President of Kappa at The Ohio State University. Later I became a member of Alpha Rho Lambda. During the war I was among four who pulled together about 60 Alpha men at Fort Benning, Georgia, to establish a wartime chapter. The other three were Brothers Clifton R. Jones of Virginia Union, James R. Tanner of Wilberforce and Lewis O. Swingler (former Editor-in-Chief of The Sphinx) of University of Nebraska. We had forums, public meetings, parties, dances and learning sessions. My army duties took me overseas to serve in the China-Burma-India theater as a Lieutenant in the Corps of Military Police. Upon my return in 1946, I attended the convention in Columbus, Ohio where Brother Paul Robeson was the highlight of the program with Max Yergan, B. V. Lawson, General President; Channing Tobias, Dr. Tribbitt and Joseph H. B. Evans, General Secretary and Dr. Charles H. Wesley, former General President. During B.

During my teaching career I served as advisor to Alpha Psi, Beta Sigma (Southern University, Baton Rouge) and Alpha Rho (Morehouse College).

Brother Lemuel Stinson... "MR. LEMONHEAD11 Brother Lemuel Stinson, at 5' 9" 160 pounds, is small by NFL standards, but the third year cornerback of the Chicago Bears has proven that you cannot judge the size of a man's heart in inches and pounds. Drafted in the sixth round of the 1988 draft, this Alpha Athlete, known as "Lemonhead" has been an impact player since joining the Bears. During Stinson's rookie season he played special teams and saw limited time at cornerback filling in for starters Mike Richardson and Vestee Jackson when needed. In his second season Stinson led the Bears with 4 interceptions despite playing in only twelve games because of a injury to his left knee. After undergoing knee surgery in December of 1989 Stinson spent his entire off-season rehabilitating. He worked hard in training camp and earned a starting position as the 1990 season began. It did not take long for Stinson to pick u p where he left off as he recorded 4 interceptions early in the season to lead the team. After making two interceptions against the Atlanta Falcons on November 11, Stinson found himself leading the NFC with six interceptions. Besides playing for the Bears Stinson spends time with his wife Kristine and son Lemuel 'Tiger" Stinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; he loves fishing and listening to music. He also enjoys spending much of his time talking to kid about the dangers of alcohol drugs and gangs. "I always try to get on the kids' level, I don't want to come across as just some guy that comes in and tells kids to 'just say no' and leave," said Stinson. " As a spokesman for Ferrara Pan Candy Company's Lemonhead Candy, Stinson otherwise known as "Mr. L e m o n h e a d , " a p p e a r s at schools throughout the Chicago area and encourages kids to stay in school and out of trouble. "I am happy to have Lemuel representing us, his attitude towards children is excellent as is his presence on the field," said Sal Ferrara, president of Ferrara Pan Candy Company.

While at Worthing High, Stinson was a two-time Ail-American at wide receiver and a state track champ in the high hurdles. He knows the importance of role models and credits his grandmother Rosie Lee McGaskey, and his high school coach Oliver Brown of Worthing High in Texas, with teaching him how to succeed in life . He hopes he can affect others in that same positive way. "Had it not been for my grandmother and coach Brown, I might have gone the wrong way. So maybe one kid who hears my speech, will see me for more than a football player, but as someone who cares," said Stinson. Stinson also is a product spokesman for Chicago Kid Foods, he appears in both print and radio advertising for the company. "We think Lem is a great person to

endorse our product line. He believes in the same things that The Chicago Kid stands for: education, athletics and physical fitness," said Michael French president of Chicago Kid Inc. Unfortunately this season ended prematurely for Stinson as he reinjured his knee on November 18, against the Denver Broncos. Despite the season ending injury Stinson is expected to be back in a Bears uniform again next season. Stinson, a physical education major with a 3.2 GPA while at Texas Tech, was initiated in to Eta Upsilon Chapter April 30,1986. â&#x20AC;&#x201D; John Vernon Moore Our thanks to John Vernon Moore for the story on Brother Stinson.

,OYD AMID PRESSURE Jok nson TN The Board of Regents elected Dr. Otis Floyd chancel I or Friday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not hep pre tempers pared and accusations

flew. The vote ended a week of tense politicking among regents and the governor's office that included at least two illegal meetings, said one regent. Floyd, 62, president of Tennessee State University, replaces Thomas Garland, who is retiring. The board also hired Chattanooga State president Harry Wagner to be executive vice chancellor. Afterward, Floyd said he planned no major changes in the board or its staff. Floyd, a native of McNairy County, is the first black ever chosen to run one of the state's three boards of higher education. He began his 40-year career as a teacher in a one-room, all black schoolhouse. Votes for Floyd and Wagner were unanimous, but feelings among regents were not. Some accused others of bowing to political pressure. One regent said he was threatened at a secret meeting held late Thursday night in a Johnson City hotel room with regents and members of the governor's staff. The Sphinx/Fall 1990

Brother O t i s L. Floyd, Jr.

White is one of seven regents appointed by former governor Lamar Alexander, a Republican. Several regents said Friday that Alexander's appointment of Garland in 1985 was just as politically charged. But White, a regent since 1972, said board members always before had been given time at least to interview the candidates. Not this time, he said. "I have a great deal of respect for Dr. Floyd, but I have no idea what his views are," he said. JD. Johnson, a regent from Oak Ridge, also complained about the governor's tactics. McWherter asked Floyd to apply for the job last Sunday. Many regents didn't find out until Monday. White and Johnson tried to get the board to delay its vote. They picked up support from regent William Beach of Clarksville and student regent Philip Baker of Cookeville. William Farris, regent from Memphis, was the firs! to object to a delay. "We know both of these men (Floyd and Wagner) intimately," he said.

"They aren't strangers. I think the process has worked." But White said there had been no formal selection process, only a series of secret meetings and phone calls, which he said violated the state's open meetings laws. White's motion to delay the vote was defeated. Floyd and Wagner then were unanimously elected. The feud later resumed when board members elected a chairman and vice chairman to serve for the next two years. McWherter was elected chairman. The governor always fills that role. Farris nominated Hubert McCullough of Murfreesboro as vice chairman. McCullough served as Alexander's commissioner of finance in the early 1980s. Johnson then nominated Ross Faires of Oneida for the post. Faires was not at the meeting. Richard Lewis of Nashville, current vice chairman, called for a vote on Farris's motion, saying Johnson's had died for lack of a second. "This is just a railroad tactic," said Beach. After several minutes of polite but strained debate, Lewis accepted a vote on Faires. It failed, getting only five votes, and McCullough was elected on a voice vote. The board's next scheduled meeting is in September. "It was more like a political hotbox than anything I've ever seen," said regent David White of Sevierville. "I was told the decision already had been made and that if I tried to say anything there would be trouble." "I was told the p e n d u l u m was swinging, and I'd better get out of the way," White said.

POLITICS AND THE ARTS

Let me begin with a few statements vhich might serve to focus upon the topic at hand: The arts are indestructible—they are what we find again and again when civilizations are excavated. The artist may be the most important member of society—who remembers a real estate agent from Classical Antiquity. I look forward to an America which will reward achievement in the arts as we reward achievement in businessand statecraft. (Words of President John F. Kennedy inscribed upon the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.) This country cannot afford to be materially rich and spiritually poor. (Words of President John F. Kennedy inscribed upon the Kennedy Center in Washington, D. C.) It is necessary and appropriate for the Federal government to create and sustain a climate encouraging freedom of thought, imagination and inquiry (Enabling legislation creating the National Foundation for the Arts and Humanities in 1965). The function of art is to create. It is not to give information or to serve practical or utilitarian ends. This is what makes art. The artist, therefore, must be free to create as he feels and intuits. Art cannot be legislated. Art and censorship cannot co-exist. What do the arts do? They help us understand our world and ourselves more completely. They can do this because they are the super-channels of communication. Whether danced, sung, spoken, built or painted—they have the capacity to make any argument more intelligible. They can carry content which mere language cannot carry. They can do this because they are constructed in such a way as to go directly to the listener or the observer through rhythm, harmony, dissonance, movement, organization. They have the power to penetrate the human heart and the human mind as does nothing else. The Sphinx/Fall 1990

among us who would limit the expression of the artist? Here I'm reminded of a poem by Ted Joans entitled "Voice in the Crowd:" If you should seela man/walking/ down a crowded street/talking aloud/to himself don't run in the opposite direction but run toward him I for he is a poet! You have nothing to fear/from the poet but the truth.

Brother Huel D. Perkins of Louisiana State University is Chairman of the Alpha Phi Alpha Education Foundation, Inc. This article consists of excerpts from a speech given at the National Black Arts Festival in Atlanta, Georgia (July 29,1990). It comes as no surprise, then, that the great ages of civilization were those which were characterized by the emphasis upon the arts and the free expression of the artist. I am here referring to Classical Antiquity with the names of Sophocles, Euripides, Aeschylus, Phidias, Myron, Praxitiles; to the Italian Renaissance with the n a m e s of Michelangelo, Raphael, Titian, Tintoretto, Leonardo; the age of the E n l i g h t e n m e n t with R o u s s e a u , Condorcet, Voltaire, D'Alembert; the Harlem Renaissance with the names of Langston Hughes, Claude McKay, Zora Neale Hurston, Jean Toomer, Jessie Fauset, Countee Cullen. The creative output of an age distinguishes it as does nothing else simply because art represents the Zeitgeist of a period— the soul, the spirit, the reason for its existence. Why then, would there be those

You have nothing to fear from the artist but the truth. That is their special province—their calling—their passion. Yet, we have civilized men and women undertaking the task of deciding what another person will view, will listen to, will read. I like to refer to them as "self-appointed censors—guardians of other people's m o r a l s . " These "guardians" would seek to have works of literature banned, works of art destroyed, certain types of music never performed. In literature, for instance, these "guardians" have at one time or another sought to have banned the following: Fanny Hill, Lady Chatterley's Lover, James Joyce's Ulysses, The New American Poetry, the American Heritage Dictionary, Manchild in the Promised Land, Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, The Diary of Anne Frank, Another Country—and the list goes on and on. Somebody thought these works were dangerous or obscene. It was not only that they thought them dangerous or obscene for themselves—but they sought to make them unavailable to others who would not necessarily regard them as such. And now this form of censorship has been extended to art exhibitions and even rock lyrics. A piece in the New York Times (April 1, 1990) states that: "It's time for a reality check. In a matter of months, rhetoric about the content and purported dangers of popular music has escalated beyond all reaContinued on page 46 Page 19

Brother Gunnell Jr.'s Post-War Predictions Come True. While the aroma of deadly gunpowder fumes from bombs and bullets were still floating in the air, and Joseph C. Gunnell Sr., with his bags packed and ready to go home after the end of World War II, he had time at last, to sit down and write something. In 1945, Gunnell, in a letter to the St. Louis American, predicted that after the war, families would be disrupted; vices would flourish and there would be vast unemployment. He also mentioned people being without food, starvation. He didn't realize at that time how true that would be. In 1945, because of limited space, we were unable to print that letter. Printing it now would be more appropriate because since returning to the States, Gunnell has written entertainment articles for the American; has been a school teacher; a director of The St. Louis Department of Welfare, an assistant manager of a housing project, and recently retired as equal opportunity specialist with the Missouri State Personnel Division. The following are the full contents of that 1945 letter:

What are Your Post War Plans? By Joseph C. Gunnell Sr. Y3C Now that hostilities have officially eased, many of us are confronted with post-war plans and problems and the possibilities of putting them into effect. It is not an uncommon thought that many of us are entitled to loaf for the rest of our lives and that the world owes us a living. On the other hand, it is a grim reality that the world must be rebuilt. Schools, churches, and other institutions have been demolished completely in different parts of the world and in our own country the enrollment among the male students has been lowered by the Selective Service Act. Therefore, it is not only the physical structures that need rebuilding, but moral, culture, and domestic institutions and structures also. It is no casual assumptions that many families have become disrupted since the beginning of the war. Vices have flourished which under ordinary circumstances would have been "nipped in the bud." All of these things must be thought of and a remedy must be found for the existing evils. Page 20

In order for the world to be rebuilt and for normalcy to return, no one can possibly do an excessive amount of loafing and expect to accomplish anything. Before entering the service most of us had to work for what we wanted

"Under these conditions, one can readily see that the world will hardly be a pdace for any loafer. Nothing can be accomplished without an honest effort being made toward that end. Thus, let us now begin to think and plan our post-war world individually so that our collective efforts will bring about a world in which peace will be an incentive . . " whether it was a grade in school, a promotion on a job, or the satisfaction of seeking the fruits of our efforts. Now that the war is over we will have to work just as hard, if not harder, to attain our aims. We will probably face an unemployment period, in fact, such a period is now evident, and new ideas will have to be introduced into the business and administrative fields. New inventions, that will improve on the old type machines and vehicles will be needed to keep pace with the modern trends. New ideas will have to be supplied in our local and national government. The people's wants and needs will have to be considered by us because we are a

part of the people and the country. Realizing this, it is evident that we must utilize our time and efforts in order that we may advance as a nation and as individuals. Many of us going back will not want to live in the same surroundings in which we lived before entering service. Those of us who were fortunate enough to live in homes of a better type than others (in reference to construction and appearance) will not want to see others living in inferior houses, and if any of us were unfortunate enough to live in an inferior house, then we most certainly, must bend our efforts to improve our housing conditions. Thus, new housing projects must be initiated in order that the standard of living of the entire nation will be on an acceptable plane. Slum clearance and other projects must be perpetuated in order that children may be brought up in favorable surroundings. Civic and community projects must be initiated so that citizens of their respective localities will have a mutual interest in the progress of their communities. Since we have fought against oppression of nations, it is also our solemn duty to fight against depression, poverty, ignorance, and any other social or economic factor that exists, that may disrupt our country and our government. We must now become the defenders of a way of life during peace times, and fight, not with arms, but our minds and efforts to build, convert, and reconstruct wherever our training and skills are needed. Those of us who were students before coming into service should make an honest endeavor to resume our studies upon our discharge from service. Men in the professional fields should be able to return to their respective fields with creative ability, foresight, and a conception of the â&#x20AC;&#x201D; needs of the people who may come under their supervision and tutorship, respectively. It has taken an unlimited amount of effort to build this depot, at which we are now stationed, and it will take as much effort, combined with no small amount of initiative, to rebuild those things which we wish to regain upon Continued on page 46 The Sphinx/Fall 1990

she'll say. And then she'll show you his awards. She's hung them all over their p a n e l e d b a s e m e n t walls — almost 50 plaques and certificates. But Gunnell will talk about the legacy he received from his parents. "Respect a n d consideration for people," he says. "Treating others the way you want to be treated." He talks about his childhood in St. Louis and how his mother would never turn away a hungry person. Better yet, he says, she always brought the person in to the table to eat. And his father, he says, taught him to d i s c o u n t envy by telling him, "A man is as full up of beans and corn bread as he is of beefsteak and biscuits." The recipient of honors from city, state a n d p r i v a t e o r g a n i z a t i o n s , Gunnell shakes his head and laughs. "The navy taught me how much I could live without," he says. "When I put that sea bag on my shoulder I had all my worldly possessions (right there)." As the youngest of seven children, he has always been around — and interested in — people. So it was natural for him to decide to obtain a bachelor's degree in sociology and a master's in social work.

It might even surprise a stranger to find Gunnell in "Who's Who Among Black Americans" (197778) or find out he's a sought-after speaker who says he should have majored in drama. Gunnell doesn't show a stranger his sense of humor right away, either, nor tip his hand about his involvement with those down on their luck. You've got to be around him awhile. Better yet, be around Ann, his wife. "He's always got me laughing,"

He worked for the St. Louis Land Clearance Authority, the H o u s i n g Authority, the Juvenile Court and the Division of Family Services. He was director of welfare for the City of St. Louis for two years. And it was natural that he preferred to use his free time for people, 50 years of which he has spent with Alpha Phi Alpha, a fraternity that has singled him out for many commendations. As a member, he hosted "Accent on Youth," a program on Radio Station KATZ sponsored by the fraternity to help young people get jobs. It ran from the early 50s to the 60s. Gunnell's name was selected to appear in the 1976 and 1978 editions of "Community Leaders and Noteworthy Americans" in recognition of "past achievements and outstanding service to community and state" for both job-related and volunteer work. After officially retiring in 1983, he took on yet another job: labor relations manager at the city treasurer's office. "It's a matter of conjecture," he says, when he'll fully retire. A n n sighs. He n e v e r will, she thinks. Herself a retiree from Missouri Division of Family Services, she laughs, "I thought I'd go all over the world when he retired." She looks at him proudly.

Joe was called upon to tell a b o u t the little red devil on the mantelpiece when he was a child. "It had hinged jaws," Joe remembers. His older siblings had used the little goblin to frighten Joe on many occasions. O n e day he asked his mother, "Mother, can that little red devil come d o w n off t h e m a n t e l piece?" "Of course not," came the retort quickly. "That's the day she began to have problems!" Gunnell says chuckling.

Illlllllllllll B r o t h e r M i c h a e l E. J o n e s committed himself to becoming a medical doctor ever since he learned many years ago that his grandfather died from pneumonia because he was denied treatment by white physicians because of the color of his skin. A l t h o u g h he has n e v e r deviated from his career goal, he has refused to let tunnel vision prohibit him from experiencing other things in life that may not directly concern his career goal of becoming a medical doctor. During college he has participated in t h e C o l u m b i a U n i v e r s i t y Orchestra, become president of the Columbia University Jazz Band, and assisted as co-music director of the Columbia Gospel Choir. In addition, he has formed a small jazz quintet which plays professionally in New York City and on campus for the d e a n s office, a w a r d b a n q u e t s , receptions, alumni events and g r a d u a t i o n f u n c t i o n s . This jazz quintet participated in a national college jazz competition sponsored by Casio. They were the only student run group selected to participate in the finals and received first prize. He also organized for the Columbia University community as well as the surrounding Harlem community a concert of rare a n d historic jazz compositions by the reknowned jazz saxophonist, Joe Henderson. This event was covered and praised by the New York Times. He established a moving service to help students from the Washington, D.C. area move their belongings to and from school at the beginning and end of the school year respectively. During his sophomore year, he started a student run service to serve New York State citizens. The Lost Property Recovery Service specialized in locating individuals who had lost money which fell into state control. They were to locate the i n d i v i d u a l s , inform t h e m of the money which had been lost, and help

them in the recovery of this money via a power of attorney agreement. By school years end the service has m a d e over one h u n d r e d New Yorkers aware of lost funds that were due to them and directly assisted 31 citizens in the recovery of over one hundred thousand dollars from state control. In an effort to w o r k with the medically ill but at the same time looking to do more than just the a v e r a g e p r e m e d i c a l s t u d e n t , he started in my h o m e town area a delivery service. The delivery service specialized in delivering food and other necessities to recently released hospital patients, the elderly, handicapped and other home strickened individuals. His most recent endeavor has been d i r e c t e d to finding a m e a n s for financing his future medical school expenses as well as continuing to provide service to my community. As a result, he has researched the idea of o p e n i n g a c o i n - o p e r a t e d laundry and drop off store. After much researching, he has written a business plan, gathered investors, and incorporated in January of 1989. Q u a l i t i e s such as creativity, initiative, independence, a strong sense of community involvement, and the ideal that one should always strive for perfection have helped him to excel. These attributes, which have been further developed through his membership in Alpha Phi Alpha, h a v e e n a b l e d him to maintain a steady grade point average while at the same time have enabled me to p a r t i c i p a t e in a c t i v i t i e s w h i c h provide services to the community as well as to himself.

The Sphinx/Fall 1990

Members of Alpha Phi Alpha — Ryan Palmer-Alpha Rho Lambda, Auxilary (Denison U, Ohio); J. Kelvin Thomas - Pi Alpha (Clemson University); Galen H. Mickens Sr. Mu Rho (Towson State U, Maryland); Louis Cook III-Kappa Phi Lambda (Columbia Maryland) — "step" in Fairmount Park. A formal "step" show was held Saturday night

PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Fairmount Park Hosts Ninth Annual Greek Picnic Thousands of black fraternity and sorority members gathered in Fairmount Park Saturday July 14 for the ninth annual Greek Picnic, turning a milelong stretch of Chamounix Drive into a giant house party. The crowd, smaller than in recent years because of overcast skies, spent the afternoon strolling, dancing, shopping, eating, making friends and admiring members of the opposite sex — not necessarily in that order. "You meet somebody with the same letters, and you automatically form a bond," said Louis Cook 3d of Baltimore, who was performing an impromptu step-dance with several other Alpha Phi Alphas from schools around the country.

The Sphinx/Fall 1990

The Greek Picnic began in 1971 as an almost spontaneous party started by Philadelphia-area college students who figured that summer break was too long to go without a party. The event has since blossomed into a premier East Coast gathering of black fraternity brothers and sorority sisters, attracting up to 60,000 people annually. A highlight of the event was a Greek "step" show competition and concert held last night at the Civic Center's Convention Hall featuring the rap group, A Tribe Called Quest. In addition to T-shirts, the vendors sold Greek paddles, buttons, pillows, even Greek underwear embroidered with such slogans as "Kiss me, I'm an Alpha." Many of the vendors complained that overcast skies and a $7 parking charge held down the crowds this year. "Usually, by this time, you can't walk, it's so crowded, said Dayna Farris, an account executive for WWDB radio, who was selling handpainted sweat suits. "I think people are staying away because they're making them pay for parking this year. Why would you pay to come here and spend money?" But the crowd continued to swell all afternoon. "It's like reunion out here," said James Elam, a Southwest Philadelphia native and Phi Beta Page 25

Sigma from the University of Delaware. "We found brothers out here from Illinois, Florida, Georgiaâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;all over."

STATE U OF NY, BUFFALO Delta Epsilon Chapter Increasing Greek Awareness The Brothers of Delta Epsilon Chapter, located at State University of New York at Buffalo, wish to extend a Mighty a n d T h u n d e r o u s A-PHI! to all those who uphold the light in the Alphadom, and awaken the Sphinx with our presence. The 1989-90 school year was opened up with brothers having a "Welcome Back Students Day" with The African-American Faculty Association, which let new students and others meet school figures as well as other greek lettered organizations. And then there came our golden weekend! The fifth Annual Boat Ride & Funky Monkey Affair, an event here in Buffalo that is patiently awaited by everyone. Friday night began the sellout affair with a moonlight cruise at Buffalo's water front. The evening was a mixture of romance and sweat. Saturday night followed with The Funky Monkey Affair which included a stepshow that left the crowd that dared, Alphatized. Brothers of DE then got together for another cause, The United Way and high school children with learning disabilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;brothers were able to donate hundreds. The fall semester ended with no less dedication to holding u p the light. In fact, for Founders Day, Delta Epsilon "Rededicated" itself by having brothers get back "On Line." The coming of the Spring semester meant more things that Alphas can do. We welcomed that challenge by working together and with other organizations. First, brothers worked with The African American Student's Organization by helping out a children's youth rally in which we ran various games and spoke to children on topics such as drug abuse and child molestation. Delta Epsilon then worked with other greek organizations during what is called here in Buffalo "Kid's Day," selling newspapers to motorists in order to fight Muscular Distrophy among the young. Brothers were then proud Page 26

and honored to assist Rho Lambda in both ushering an event for Miss Yolanda King and then presenting her with a plaque for her father's (Rev. Martin L. King, Jr.) past works and achievements. Her speech before the large crowd turned out to be both stimulating and humerous. We as Alphamen know that brothers all over are consistent, hard working and doing all they can do to keep their city shining of Black and Gold! In fact, Delta Epsilon is proud to make brothers proud in knowing that Byron Brown, mentioned in Ebony magazine's 30 leaders of the future, was made right here at DE. Brother Brown is now active in Erie County Equal Opportunity Office; Afikan Child and Family Institute advisory board, United Way government relations committee and Buffalo Common Council Drug Task Force. We the "New School" send out a mighty 06! to Brother Brown who is in the Nov' 89 issue. On February 11th we held a "Salute To Our African American Heritage," which included an unforgetable movie on the life of Brother Adam Clayton Powell, Jr. The film left the audience with an in-depth conversation on Mr. Powell's controversial and prestigious life style. The evening was also enhanced because not only did it include a video taped speech by Minister Louis Farrakhan, but it also included Mr. David Muhammed, a local representative of Farrakhan which hyped the evening with a speech of his own! The Alphadom is truly spreading the light throughout the college community. In March, Delta Epsilon then presented her Annual Alpha Cabaret held on the 30th at the prestigious Hearthstone Manor. The Cabaret was an evening of divine elegance with "Plenty Of Knights Over Egypt!" Various singers enhanced the event with Songs and Gospel along with a talented Jazz band. However, the night could not go without mention of The Afrikan Dance Troop that cultured us with African dance. The Dance Troop left us all very much entertained. This year's Cabaret however, was changed during the awards ceremony. Instead of choosing brother of the year and giving awards to each other, (because Alpha work is expected) we chose to award those individuals in the college community who are striving and working hard for their fellow man. This was done

not only to recognize them, but that they may be also encourage to continue on in their hard work which is being done not for themselves but for others. Finally, DE wishes all brothers well in the struggle of upholding the light and to all graduated/graduating brothers. Especially those of Delta Epsilon who, within the past year have made this chapter a great success: Steven Patteson, Cones. Sec; John Blackmon, D.O.P.; Stanley Coleman, Rec. Sec. Pres. Spring '86.; Alexander Miles, President; Steven R. Alfred, Spring '89 Pres.; Joseph M. Jenkins, D.O.P. Spring '86 & '89, Vice Pres Spring '87; Lerone D. Ball, Vice. Pres.; & Kenneth M. Williams, Direc. Of Education). 06! -Steven Patterson OBELISK-Spr'89

DELAWARE STATE COLLEGE | FRANKFURT, WEST GERMANY Theta Theta Lambda Initiates Seven Virtuous Brothers Greetings to all Brothers in the Land of Alpha from Theta Theta Lambda Chapter, Frankfurt West Germany. Theta Theta Lambda is busily preparing itself for the First Annual European Networking Council Ball to be held on 19 May 1990. All Greek Letter Organizations as well as the NAACP will be represented as we present a $10,000 Scholarship from the ENC to some well deserving High School Senior. The speaker for this special occasion will be General President Brother Henry Ponder. This gala event promises to be an '06' Affair. The Brothers of Theta Theta Lambda opened their hearts and the doors of Alpha to the Sphinxman of "EFTA PYRAMID". The newly initiated Brothers joined the folds of Alpha on 21 April 1990. They are: Darryal McColIum, Terrance Fields, Danny Slater, Norris Carey, William Knight, John Huggins, Jr., and Lorenzo Cole, Jr. We welcome these new Brothers in the true spirit of Alpha and say to them: "Take an honest inventory of your character within, and for every virtue you find missing, try and weave it in. For a man without these virtues isn't worth a grain of sand. It's plain to see, it's more than just a pin, that makes an Alphaman". Just as Theta Theta Lambda welcomes new Brothers, we must also bid a sad farewell to the Brothers that are returning to the states. To Brothers Sylvester Cotton, Torris Cowan, Gordon Hester, Tyrone Moore, Anthony Shannon, Eric Williams, and Thearon Williams, it is our wish that the Bonds of Brotherly The Sphinx/Fall 1990

Gamma Sigma Chapter Report 1989-90 Greetings Brotherhood, warmest greetings extend from the brothers of Gamma Sigma chapter here at Delaware State College as yet another school year comes to an end. Gamma Sigma has again been holding the light of Alpha high. Last year the chapter earned a president's award for "The most active organization on campus", and has not fallen short of that great achievement for the year 1989-90. / Our year started/as we welcomed in the new freshmen of Del-State with a stepping/exhibition on the yard. During Del-State's homecoming we were able to meet some old and new brothers of Gamma Sigma chapter as well as other chapters at our annual Alpha reunion. During the Christmas season we worked closely with the Dover headquarters of the Salvation Army as we collected money for needy individuals at the Dover Mall for one weekend out of the Christmas season. This project was one that we truly enjoyed because we had the opportunity to meet a variety of warm and humble people. Alpha week at Del-State consisted of a week long drug, alcohol, and sexual awareness campaign on campus. Our awareness campaign was done in conjunction with the Delaware Rural Ministries. They were very helpful in supplying us with a variety of materials such as videos, pamphlets, posters, and condoms to hand out. Our week ended with an Alpha Party, a portion of the proceeds went to our scholarship fund. During the month of January we sponsored a Blood drive with the Delaware Blood Bank. This project raised approximately 45 pints of blood in hopes of relieving needy individuals.

Throughout our entire year of planning and scheduling our events, our guidance and counseling came from our diligent advisors Brothers Carl Wilson and William Bass of Zeta Rho Lambda Chapter in Dover Delaware. They always had the time to sit down and talk to us about fraternal matters whether it be what forms to fill out for certain events, chapter obligations to the National Office, or schoolwork. Brothers Wilson and Bass are indeed two outstanding men of Alpha and the brothers of Gamma Sigma would like to take the opportunity to acknowledge them for their dedication to the fraternity both on the undergraduate as well as graduate level. During the month of February, three new brothers were initiated into Gamma Sigma; Brothers Rodney Vodery, Marc Stevens, and Thomas Ireland. These men truly exemplify the professional and gentlemanlike qualities of an Alphaman and are indeed promising upcoming Alphas. Easter brings many things, one of which is our annual easter egg hunt for 3-5 year old children at the kindergarten lab at Delaware State College. This annual event is something that we all look forward to. The Alpha Angels also participate in this project by painting and distributing the eggs in their hiding places. The kids all enjoyed it and again it was a success as well as a treat for the chapter. This year the chapter established it's first scholarship fund which will be implemented next year. Presently the fund is for $200.00, but we are shooting for $500.00 in the future, this is our first step in helping our black youths better their educational aspirations. As April came so did the Eastern Region Convention, four of the brothers from the chapter were in attendance to share fraternal thoughts and recommend ideas for fraternal matters. All that attended enjoyed the convention and are looking forward to next year. Upon our return from the convention many ideas and thoughts were conjured up for next years activities, and we are looking towards an active and promising year for 1990-91'. Also in April was Del-State's annual high school day. During high school day as part of the activities, greeks step for the students in attendance. This year we thought that we would do something new, we made a step Page 27

called the "message". In this step we encourage students to say no to drugs, stay in school, and go to college as well as perform a precision step with kicks, spins, and suchforth. It turned out to be a very receptive step and we plan to do it again for next year as well as make more message steps to encourage others. Gamma Sigma Chapter would like to announce four graduating brothers: Brothers Jeffrey Cooper, Accounting; Willis Lonzer, Chemistry; Derek Roberts, Accounting; and Frederick Shadding, Accounting & Business Administration. We wish you all good luck in your career endeavors and Congratulations! Until next report, 06! and hold it high. -Fred Shadding, Jr.

BUFFALO, NEW YORK Rho Lambda Chapter Reaches 65 Greetings most distinguished and elegant Brothers! Rho Lambda Chapter of Buffalo, New York turned 65 years old in true Alpha style during the 1989-90 fraternal year. The chapter's commitment to education and scholarship was truly exemplified. The endeavors were supported financially by the elegant formal event, "An Evening to Remember with Alpha Phi Alpha" held on November 18. Brother Alfred Hammonds served as chairman for this highly successful affair. The chapter's pilot offering of "Leadership Development Institute (LDI): The Local Program" had 18 registered students and was given in monthly installments at Buffalo State College. Brother Jeffery Cousin diligently served as chairman of LDI committee. We thank Brother Cousin for making our first LDI program a successful one. Brothers Edward Watts and Orlando Rainey co-chaired this activity. In December, the chapter continued it's annual tradition of support to the United Negro College Fund. A onthe-air donation was presented by Brothers Willie Price and Orlando Rainey. In addition, several brothers s e r v e d as t e l e p h o n e o p e r a t o r s throughout the evening. In May, the chapter awarded eight scholarships to local high school students at a luncheon affair. The event was accented by the facts that it was Page 28

held at a Black establishment and was covered by the local Black newspaper. The chapter's commitment to the ideals of Brotherhood have been tantamount. Throughout the year Brother Larry Joyner, Alpha Advisor, and Rho Lambda Chapter have extended themselves to their aligned college chapter, Delta Epsilon. We are committed to keeping the fraternal bond between the alumni and college chapters of Buffalo intact. In December, the chapter participated in the Area's Fraternity Founder's Day celebration in Rochester. Rho Lambda Chapter looks forward to being the hosts for the 1990 event for the five chapters in the propinquity of Buffalo and Rochester. In March, the chapter was able to fellowship at it's 65th Anniversary luncheon. It was an opportunity to revisit where the chapter has been; it was also a chance to discuss where the chapter will be going and how it will get there. Brother Willie Price coordinated this activity. On June 3, the chapter initiated Earle Blackmonn and Kevin White into the Fraternity. The "Determination" Line's major service project during the pledge process was spending a Saturday doing "odd" jobs for the elderly. The chapter was been participative on several levels of Fraternity. The chapter was represented at both the District Conference (in Ithaca in March) and Regional Convention (in Stamford in April). In addition, we are proud to have among our ranks Brother Orlando Rainey, who has served magnificently as Area Director since 1987 and who was appointed District Director for the State of New York in March 1990. Brother Daryl Parker serves as the Vice-President of the Inter-Hellenic Council, whose membership consists of representatives of the alumnae and college chapters of the major eight Black Greek Letter Organizations. Several other brothers are providing the Alpha wisdom to other noteworthy groups and causes. Highlights for Rho Lambda during the summer months will include a picnic in July and attending the General Convention in Miami. In addition, a number of Brothers plan to attend the AKA / A$A picnic in Rochester in June. A damper was put on the fraternal year with the passing of distin-

guished Brother Walter B. Holland, Sr. in May 1990 into Omega Chapter. Brother Holland's contributions to the Fraternity and Rho Lambda Chapter are numerous over the last 60 plus years. The Brothers who ably served as Chapter Officers in 1989-90 are as follows: Clemmon Hodges, President; Willie Price, Vice-President; Franklin Westbrook, Treasurer; Jeffery Cousin, Recording and Financial Secretary; Edward Watts, Corresponding Secretary; George Nicholas, Dean of Pledges; Orlando Rainey, Director of Educational Activities; Larry Joyner, Chaplain and Associate Editor to "The Sphinx"; Eugene Richards, Historian; Walter Holland, Sr., Historian Emeritus; Charles Banks, Sergeant-at-Arms; Solomon Westbrook, Parliamentarian. 1990-91 is projected to be an even better year for Rho Lambda Chapter. Although 65 years of age we are far from retirement.

OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY Kappa Chapter Serving the surrounding community as well as campus Greetings brothers throughout the country from Kappa Chapter, the tenth chapter of Alpha, located at The Ohio State University. The '8990' school year has been a very active one for community service, both o n and off our campus. Our campus community service this year began with our 8th annual Ms. Black Homecoming Pageant which was successfully coordinated by Brother Anthony Brown, the 1989 State of Ohio Brother of the year. Our next major program was on the life of Brother Martin Luther King, Jr., also headed by Brother Brown. This program was later complemented on April 4, 1990 by a Candlelight Vigil ceremony conducted by Brother Dwayne Jacobs. This was the assasination date of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and consisted of an outside The Sphinx/Fall 1990

assembly paying tribute to "The Dream" which was interjected by speeches from Brother's Kevin Cooper and Bernard Cotton. This year also brought a monumental event to the Ohio State University campus due to the initiative of Brother Melvin Woodberry. The Black Greek "sidewalk" was constructed outside of the student union, where nine blocks of cement represent the nine Black Greek organizations on campus. Brother Kerry Johnson designed the block for Kappa Chapter. Community service to the city of Columbus this year began with an Oratorical contest for high school seniors organized by Brother Woodberry. Five finalists presented their works to a panel of judges. The winner, Derf Suggs, received a check for $500 toward higher education. This idea was altered by Brother Damon Johnson and used again in the Spring where high school students completed a take home fill-in-theblank and essay test on Afro-American history over Springbreak. The first place prize was an all expense paid limosine to the prom won by Kevin Oliver. An unique program that combined both community service to the campus and the city of Columbus was the Awards banquet for local celebraties and campus faculty once again coordinated by Brother Brown. Outstanding individuals such as local hero James "Buster" Douglas, Heavyweight Champion of the World, and Randy Ayers, Ohio State's first Black basketball coach, were honored for their accomplishments. Our winter quarter was also focused on hosting the 16th Annual State Convention which was directed by our president, Brother Tyrome Alexander. We were pleased with the outcome and comments relayed to us from other Ohio chapters. This was a very succesful weekend. In closing, we are proud of our accomplishments of the past year, but look forward to an even more prosperous year in '90-91'. We will continue to shine the light of Alpha on our community and uphold our pledge to be First of All . . . For Additional information, please contact Brother Richard B.

PURDUE UNIVERSITY W. LAFAYETTE Revelation at Gamma Rho On behalf of the Gamma Rho Chapter, we would like to greet all of our brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha as we enter another semester of college life and the pursuit of manly deeds, scholarship and love for all mankind. Gamma Rho Chapter, has since its inception, always been in the forefront of community involvement and service. Our chapter has been recognized both in the state and nationally for our efforts in raising money for the United Negro College Fund, for UNICEF, and for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation. Many of our campus programs, Voters' Registration, Business Encouragement Week, the Miss Black ami Gold Scholarship Pageant, the Martin Luther King Candlelight Vigil March, and the Ebony and Ivory Unity Party have served both as an inspiration to the campus and a salute to our brotherhood's commitment to excellence. On January 23, 1989, Purdue University levied its most severe penalty to our fraternity by officially withdrawing our recognition until 1992 due to controversial pledging procedures. Nevertheless, as the dust settles and the smoke clears, we continue to "uphold the light of Alpha Phi Alpha." Through hard work, dedication, and counsel from many of our alumni, we culminate one year of activity following this university decision with out 17th Annual Black and Gold Ball, "Against All Odds." This theme is a tribute to our founders, our alumni brothers, and our current brotherhood who have all shown that "The race is not given to the strong, nor the swift, but to those that Endureth to the end." During the month of January, 1990, we commenced the year with our annual Skee-Phi (Alpha Kappa Alpha/ Alpha Phi Alpha) weekend. Following this family gathering, we had our annual Brother Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. candlelight vigil march. We had an outstanding representation from the African-American community as well as the Caucasian community. Also, in the Spring semester we had our 8th annual Miss Black and Gold Scholarship Pageant, naming

Ms. Jenean Palmer (AKA EP) as the 1990 Miss Black and Gold winner. Following this gala event, we had our 17th annual Black and Gold Ball, recognizing the achievements of our Chapter, the sweethearts, and Aristocrats interest organization. At this event Brother Myron White received 1990 Brother of the Year for his outstanding commitment to the community, along with his academic performance (completed his undergraduate degree in Industrial Management with a 5.97/6.00 G.P.A.). Congratulations to brothers Art Brown, Myron White and Kevin Grimes who received their undergraduate degrees on May 12, 1990. We hope you all will continue to strive for the best and keep Alpha in your hearts as you continue in your future endeavors. On February 18, 1990, Gamma Rho chapter welcomed five distinguished gentlemen into the brotherhood. Those initiated were: Derek M. Barber, Timothy Jackson, Steven Sistrunk, Jeff Hemphill and Korey Willia ms. Already these men have found themselves dedicated to Alpha and our motto. May they be a continued light to Alpha'Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Gamma Rho Chapter. Finally, we'd like to recognize our new officers for the 1990-91 fraternal school year. They are as follows: Brian Williams, President; Jeff Hemphill, Vice-President; Derek Barber, Recording Secretary; Timothy Jackson, Corresponding Secretary; Timothy Jackson, Chaplain; Derek Barber, Treasurer; Korey Williams, Historian; Melvin Winters, Dean of Pledges; and Jeff Hemphill, Sergeant at Arms. We invite all brothers to correspond and visit usâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;Good luck in the new semester! -D.

LAKELAND, FLORIDA Mu Zeta Lambda Hosted First Annual Greek Day for Kids Greetings to all Brothers throughout Alphadom. As we broke ranks for the Summer months we did so with an Alpha feeling of accomplishment. During the month of March we hosted the first Alpha Greek Day for Kids. This project was chaired by Brother Nathaniel Hill (who's also the pastor of Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church in Mulberry, Florida) and took place at Simpson Recreational Park in Lakeland, Florida. This was a day filled with fun, excitement, and an increased cultural awareness for our area youth. Day long activities included sack races, computer games, soft ball throw, tug of war, basketball hot shots, a drug information booth and display from the local law enforcement officers, and equipment demonstrations by the local fire department. This project was the first of it's kind for Polk County so we salute Brother Hill for a yeoman effort, for it is evident that he realizes that "while others are content to merely follow a trend, it is our duty as Alphamen to set the trends". On May 20, 1990 we hosted our annual High School Achievement Awards Program at the Coleman Bush Building in Lakeland, Florida. During this program eighteen African American graduating seniors were cited for a myriad of accomplishments both at school and in the community throughout their high school years. These men represented each school throughout Polk County, as well as Plant City (Hillsborough County) High School. Alpha Phi Alpha scholarships were presented to Ronald Sabb, Jr. of Bartow, Florida and Vinson Smith of Lakeland, Florida. Our chapter anxiously awaits this program each year, as we realize that these are the leaders and Alphamen of the future, so this affords us the Page 30

Brothers of Mu Zeta Lambda and their kids at Alpha Greek Day for Kids opportunity to lend a hand in directing them towards achieving their goals in life. As we close we'd like to pay special tribute to Brother Frank Satchel, Jr. Brother Satchel is the Principal at Mulberry Jr. High School, but more importantly, is the newly elected, and first African American Mayor of the city of Mulberry, Florida. So we congratulate Brother Satchel for continuing Alpha's tradition of 'walking down previously untrodden pathways in life'. Until next issue . . . -Donzell Floyd

UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI Nu Upsilon is Mississippi's Premier Undergraduate Chapter of 1989 We give you warm fraternal greetings from the Nu Upsilon Chapter of our beloved order Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., the seat of excellence and serious endeavor on the Oxford Campus of the University of Mississippi. Alpha Phi Alpha continues to stand out among all Greek fraternities on the Ole Miss campus and has seized and sustained an incredible reputation as campus leaders given to philanthropy, rigorous academic accomplishments and molding high moral and leadership qualities in our brothers. 1989 has been yet another magnificent year for "Nu U" as we have again been lauded with

the honor of Mississippi's Premier Undergraduate Chapter of 1989; Nu Upsilon Chapter was given this wondrous accolade for high labor and flourishing endeavors for 1988. We must salute brothers for enlarging the pinciple of Alpha Phi Alpha being "first of all". Nu Upsilon recently congratulated Ole Miss' first selected and first African-American Editor of the University's newspaper The Daily Mississipian, Brother Lee Eric Smith. Nu Upsilon also salutes its brothers representing the splendor and reign of Alphadom: Brother Kerry L. Pearson, being the first black elected student to an associated student body office in an opposed race for Student Judicial Council Chairman; Brother Carl Powell being the first black elected to an ASB office as treasurer in 1988; Brother Antonio Juan Williams being the first black initiated into Rho Chi Pharmacy Honorary at the University and holding membership in Ole Miss' highest academic honorary, Phi Kappa Phi; and our beloved ever-working and tireless advisor, Dr. Jerry L. De Loach was honored as Ole Miss Undergraduate Fraternity Advisor of 1988-89. The chapter initiated the following men into Alphadom from the Spring 1990 line of "Shifting Sands": Brothers Harold Eugene Holmes, Christopher Clarence Tables, Kenneth Jones, Geoffrey Emmanuel Jones, Anthony Wayne Amos, Calvin Continued on page 35 The Sphinx/Fall 1990

If ever a brother personified the Alpha Phi Alpha theme: A Legacy of Leadership and Service, it was dramatized in the life of Brother Michael Jerome Price, who entered Omega Chapter on July 23, 1990. His legacy of leadership and service to Alpha Phi Alpha spanned more than two decades, the impact of which will be felt in the years to come. At the time of his demise, Brother Price served as Director of Communications and Programs, the culminating position in his service on the General Office staff that began in 1973. He became Editor-in-Chief of the Sphinx in 1974. In the succeeding sixteen years, the quality of the Sphinx, the nation's second oldest continuous African-American journal was unmatched. As Alpha Phi Alpha's membership and structure grew, Brother Price assumed responsibility for the fraternity's entire communications program. In 1986, he assumed additional responsibility for providing oversight and support to the fraternity's national community service programs. In his staff"capacity, Brother Price was also a tireless leader in charting the future course of his beloved fraternity. He provided staff support to college and alumni chapters alike, served as liaison to the various committees, commissions, and foundations as well as counsel to both elected and appointed fraternal officialsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D; including five General Presidents. His thoughtful recommendations and direction assisted in the implementation of innovative internal policies and procedures as well as nationally-recognized community service programs. The Sphinx/Fall 1990

Brother Price was born on November 28, 1950 in Yazoo City, Mississippi and grew up in Indionola, Mississippi where he received his primary and secondary education. He received B. A. and M. A. degrees in Philosophy from Dillard University in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1971 and Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana in 1973 respectively. His legacy of leadership and service transcended in his involvement in other community commitments. Hewas a three-term President of Iota Delta Lambda Chapter, where he held active membership; a member of the Editorial Board of the "Woodlawn Vision", the Black Independent Political Organization; and St. James United Methodist Church. He is listed in Who's Who Among Black Americans and Outstanding Young Men of America. He received the March of Dimes/Birth Defects Foundation's Out standing Service Award in 1986 and the fraternity's Distinguished Service Award in 1980, 1984, and 1988. A national fraternity leader within the Black Greek-letter movement, he faithfully accepted the arduous task of continuing the fraternal movement initiated by our beloved Jewels. He worked to improve its image via vigorous communications initiatives and outreach in the development of collaborations and linkages with the corporate and social sen ices arena. In all of his endeavors, however, he kept Alpha Phi Alpha in the forefront of these advances. The void left by the passing of this giant in Alpha Phi Alpha is immeasurable. His egacy stands a reminder that all we do as Alpha men must be done in the noblest traditions of Alpha Phi Alpha. Page 31

BETHUNE-COOKMAN COLLEGE Delta Beta Chapter Gaines Many New Members

The Brotherhood of Nu Upsilon celebrates another culmination of a successful school i/ear at the annual Alpha Formal Banquet. Continued from page 30 D. Stancill, and Gene A. Bradford. Officers for the 1990-91 term are Brothers Leo Emerson, Jr., President; David G. Middleton, Vice-President; Harold Holmes, Recording Secretary; Omar Sherieff Colbert, Treasurer; Eric D. Bluntson, Dean of Pledges; Antonnio Cedric Benton, Historian and Associate Editor-to-The Sphinx; and Lee Eric Smith, Chaplain.

A successful Miss Black and Gold Pageant was presented, crowning Miss Leanna S. Range as the new sweetheart. Two hundred dollars were raised by the brotherhood for the Oxford Food Pantry in the chapter's annual canned food campaign and Project Alpha was given to a receptive group of high school and junior high males on the morning of November 11. Project Alpha was again presented during the Spring semester to a church group of young people in Olive Branch, Mississippi, by the request of Brother Leonard Earl Pegues. The awarding of our annual Martin Luther King, Jr. Dreamer Award was presented to Judge Patricia Wise (past recipients include Brother Robert Walker, Mayor of Vicksburg and Congressman Mike Espy) and our engaging and informative black history program, "Black Faculty in Residence" was rendered. The Sphinx/Fall 1990

Our annual Alpha week of March 26-31 commenced with a campus blood drive with Mississippi Blood Services and a visit to Golden Years Convalescent Home. The week was also enhanced by our speakers forum with Reverend Bartholomew Orr on his topic ^Chasing the Wind". Friday witnessed the excitement of our Ice Cold Greek Affair Stepshow, cosponsored by Adolph Coors Corporation with the devastating brothers of Kappa Beta Chapter, Mississippi State University claiming first place in the Fraternity Division and our sorors of Theta Psi Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority winning first in the Sorority Division. Each group was given a $500.00 scholarship fund. Alpha Weekend culminated in our annual, elegant formal banquet with Brother Leonard Pegues being awarded Alumni Brother of the Year. Nu Upsilon holds the distinction of ranking fifth academically out of the nineteen Ole Miss fraternities and will strive by fortitude and uncompromising will to be number one. Nu Upsilon consistently holds the number one position in G.P.A. out of the four historically black fraternities. We wish you much love, peace and strength according to the numerous blessings by our Lord, Savior and Advocate, Christ Jesus. Nu Upsilon believes in Proverbs 17:17, "The power and privilege in laboring for the cause, and not reaching the mountain top and sitting down!" God's blessings to all brothers as He abides with you forever. -Brother Leo F. Emerson, jr.

The brothers of the Delta Beta Chapter at Bethune-Cookman College in Daytona Beach, Florida, would like to extend fraternal greetings to all brothers who abide within the House of Alpha. The 1989-90 academic year began with seven active brothers. The brothers took on many projects which included a blood drive, a voter's registration drive, NAACP membership drive, Leadership seminars, just to name a few. Despite the small number of brothers the Chapter held the bright light of Alpha high, carrying out the community services and holding Leadership positions on various campus boards. Brother Ricardo P. Deveaux served as SGA President and Greek Council Treasurer; Brother Michael McCoy - President of the Men's Senate, Brother Eric Saunders - Representative, Greek Council and Brother Carl Williams - SGA Representative to the Board of Trustees. Brother Michael Thompson displayed his athletic ability on the football field as a member of the Fighting Wildcats. During the Spring Semester, the chapter took on a line of nine distinguished young men. Under the name, The Notorious Nine, Joseph Noel, Leon Gillyard, Carlo Shaw, Lawrence Thompson, Dennis Williamson, Robert Starks, Troy Grant, Oscar Dorsett and Wayne Thomas, would cross the burning sands to Alpha, continuing in the great Delta Beta tradition. At the annual Student Body Choice Awards, the brothers were honored to walk away with numerous awards including a 1989-90 Most Outstanding Greek Fraternity, Brother Robert Starks - Most Outstanding Sophomore, Brothers Wayne Thomas and Oscar Dorsett - Most Outstanding Juniors and Brother Ricardo Deveaux - Most Outstanding Senior. During the first business meeting in April, Election of Officers were held: Brother Lawrence Thompson was elected Chapter President. His slate of officers are Brothers Oscar Dorsett, Vice President; Joseph Noel, Secretary; Leon Gillyard, Treasurer; Michael Thompson, Chaplain; Carlo

MERCER UNIVERSITY Iota Eta Chapter Js Spreading Appreciation for Erudition Greetings from the House of Alpha. The Iota Eta Chapter of Mercer University extends its warmest salutations to all brothers across the land. Iota Eta hasialways endeavored to hold high the light of our fraternity and to provide a shining example of leadership for all mankind. This is the aim of all our activities, and this goal has most assuredly been met by our chapter. As college students, we feel that scholarship should be the most basic of our goals. We thus view spreading an appreciation for erudition as one of our fundamental responsibilities. As a chapter, we have taken this challenge to heart, afid our accomplishments in the area of scholarship are numerous. Within our chapter, we stress the importance of scholarship. Iota Eta was honored at Mercer for having the highest grade point average of all the fraternities on campus, and we were further recognized by receiving the Dean's Cup Campus Involvement and Philanthropy awards. Brother William N. Smith was recognized for his outstanding scholastic achievement by becoming an Alpha Phi Alpha Scholarship Recipient for 1989-1990. One of the dilemmas which is facing this fraternity and this nation is the decreasing number of black The Sphinx/Fall 1990

As a chapter, we decided to provide some leadership and to provide some financial assistance in this area. Therefore, this spring we established the Charles D. Proctor Scholarship, both to honor one of these fraternities most distinguished members and to recognize an outstanding high school senior in the Macon area. The criteria for this scholarship include ommunity service, scholastic achievement, and extracurricular activities. This educational scholarship will provide the winner with three hundred dollars in order to help with the expenses of college. We hope that this idea and this scholarship will grow, prosper, and inspire youths to strive for all that they can become. There is no better means of expressing "love for all mankind" than through actions. The actions of the Iota Eta Chapter indicate our commitment to community service and involvement. In the fall, we worked to fund two very worthwhile national charities, the American Diabetes Association and United Cerebral Palsy. We raised three hundred dollars for the American Diabetes Association by collecting money in and around Macon. We participated in the United Cerebral Palsy television telethon and further showed our support by donating one hundred dollars to aid the people stricken with this disease.

We also headed several activities which were geared specifically toward the youth in our community. In coordination with the Big Brother/ Big Sister organization, we sponsored and participated in an Easter Egg Hunt for neighborhood children. The children spent hours searching for Easter eggs and playing games with the brothers, and in the process, both of us discovered how much we can learn from one another. With the Epsilon Beta Lambda Chapter, we took part in the Project Alpha Teenage Pregnancy Prevention Campaign. On our campus, we brought joy to the Halloweens of the children in the community by manning a booth in our annual Halloween Carnival. Lastly, but most assuredly not least, every day we would volunteer for tutoring at the local Boys' Club in Macon. We hope that by stressing education in the youth, they will improve their futures and expand their outlooks on life. Through these activities, we tried to touch the lives of those in our community and to bridge the gap between the Mercer campus and the Macon community. If we have accomplished these goals, then we can justly call ourselves "servants of all." This spring, we welcomed a jewel line of seven brothers into the House of Alpha. Marcus Burns, John Hurst, Christopher Logan, David Neeley, Kelechuku Okike, Larry Sims, and Ronnie Wilcox are the newest memPage 37

bers of Iota Eta to pledge themselves to "manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind." The chapter now boasts a strong fifteen brothers among its ranks. We were also proud to establish residence in our own house. This achievement recognizes our hard work, our diligence, and our commitment to excellence. We had been dedicated to obtaining a house for our chapter for several years and that goal has finally become a reality. The Black and Old Gold now gleam from every room and corner of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity House at Mercer University. During our annual Alpha Week festivities from May 19th to the 26th, we hosted a list of activities. On Sunday, we praised God through music and celebrated the talents of three gospel choirs at our annual Gospel Fest. We displayed the awards, commendations, and other paraphernalia of our chapter on Monday. Tuesday was dedicated to remembering the seven young men who laid the foundation for our great fraternity, the Jewels, in our Founders' Day Program. On Wednesday and Thursday we held two social activities for the students on campus. Friday, we sponsored our first annual Black and Gold Ball. The event turned out to be a smashing success as the students at Mercer and others came out to support this "Black and Gold" event. The week culminated with a Step Show which we co-sponsored with the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority on Saturday. Performers from around the state gathered to provide the audience with a night to remember. As is evident from this list of activities, the Iota Eta Chapter has and continues to hold u p the everlasting light of Alpha Phi Alpha. Our officers for 1990-91 are: President, Johnnie L. Jenkins, III; Vice-President, J. Lewis Alston; Secretary, William N. Smith; Treasurer, John Hurst; Corresponding Secretary, Rodney Byrd; Dean of Pledges, David Neeley; Historian, Christopher Logan; Chaplain, Ronnie Wilcox; Associate Editor-to-The Sphinx, Larry Sims; and Director of Educational Activities, Kelechuku Okike.

TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA

Gamma Mu Lambda has Banner Year True to our legacy "First of all, servants of all ...", the Brothers of Gamma Mu Lambda have been involved in a number of very successful service projects this year. The 1989 Fraternal year began with the election of a youthful and dynamic corps of officers, which included: Brothers Gary Johnson, President; Charles Kidd, Vice-President; Ronald Robinson, Recording Secretary; John McMillan, Financial Secretary; Richard Hartsfield, Treasurer; Curtis Richardson, Associate Editor-to-The Sphinx; John Rawls, Dean of Pledges; Cecil, Director of Educational Activities. After Officers were elected, the Chapter The Sphinx/Fall 1990

ALPHA Leadership Program at Gamma Mu Lambda, Tallahassee, Florida, April 1990. increased its number by four when the "Sons of Kufu" crossed the burning sands into Alphadom. The new brothers are: Glenn Hodges, Charles Grant, Ted Hemmingway and James Brown. As the Sons of Kufu were becoming neophyte brothers, the chapter had sponsored two young men from local high schools to attend the Alpha South Regional Leadership Program at Fisk University. The young men came back very enthusiastic and grateful for the experience. The first meeting of the new fraternal year was held at the recently completed presidential mansion of brother Frederick Humpries, President of Florida A and M University. Approximately Fifty brothers attended this inaugural meeting, which set the tone for the busy and productive year ahead. Shortly after the meeting, the Education Committee, under the leadership of Brother Cecil Howard, began readying for the fourth year of the Alpha Leadership Program for Higher Achievement (ALPHA). In keeping with the revitalized "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign, this program is designed to motivate African-American youth to graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education. Approximate 70 students, male and female, from two adjoining counties The Sphinx/Fall 1990

were selected to participate in this eight month program. The program was held on the third Saturday of each month and the students attended workshops covering the broad areas of communication skills, test-taking skills and leadership development. In addition to the Saturday sessions, the students were taken on fieldtrips, attended meetings of local governmental bodies and performed community service projects. The program culminated with a banquet where three $500.00 scholarships were awarded to outstanding participants. Ten students were also selected to attend the Fisk Leadership Program. The program was recognized by the Council of Neighborhood Associations and received a plaque at their annual dinner. The October meeting, held at the historic Brocaw-McDougall House, was dedicated to reclaiming inactive brothers into the chapter. The Brothers feasted on delightful Chinese cuisine, shared in the good ole Alpha spirit and renewed frater—^-^—^— -^^—^^—

nal bonds. Following the reclamation, ten young men interested in Alpha, were hosted at a Smoker to introduce them to the "First and Greatest Fraternity." Those fortunate enough to be "tapped" formed the Winter pledge line. On December 3rd the brothers of Iota Delta and Beta Nu joined with Gamma Mu Lambda to celebrate the eighty-third anniversary of our beloved fraternity. The Day's activities were coordinated by brother John Rawls, Jr. and began with a brotherhood breakfast at a local Black restaurant. Brother Curtis Richardson gave the keynote address, focusing on the condition of African-American youth, especially males. At the breakfast brother Cecil Howard was named "Alpha Man of the Year". The breakfast was followed by a gravesite ceremony at the grave of brother Jewel Charles H. Chapman. We were joined by the sweet hearts of the undergraduate chapters. The day ended with a public program at Trinity Presbyterian Church, where the Southern District Director, Brother John Rawls, Sr., gave a very rousing speech.

Goto High School Go to College In keeping with our motto of service, the brothers participated in numerous charitable and educational undertakings. Brothers served as telephone volunteers for the annual UNCF tele-thon, raised money for Big Brothers/Big Sisters in a Bowl-AThon and donated $500.00 to the March of Dimes while "making tracks" in the annual Walk America Campaign. The Sons of Zimba, our pledge line, also participated in this event. During the months of January and February the brothers participated in a number of programs and activities commemorating the birthday of Brother Martin L. King, Jr. and AfricanAmerican History month. Brother Rev. Moses Miles also coordinated the traditional Sweetheart Affair durPage 39

ing the month of February. The wives and sweethearts of the brothers were presented with lovely carnations and treated to a delicious meal in a cozy and romantic atmosphere. In March the chapter teamed up with other local organizations to sponsor "Project Alpha" at an area High School. Two-hundred middle schoolers heard community volunteers warn of the dangers of premature sexual involvement and teen pregnancy. Brothers from Iota Delta and members of AKA and Delta served as small group facilitators, encouraging the youngsters to stay in school and set goals for themselves. Local businesses participated by donating cash prizes for a poster contest held in conjunction with the program. Later in that same month five young men endured two intense weeks of pledge activities to become neophyte brothers. The line, known as the "Sons of Zimba" included: Harold Uzzell, Alfred Dennis, Marvin Henderson, Gary Goodwin, and Ufote Inamente. On May 20th many of the brothers joined brother Miles and his congregation at Philadelphia Primitive Baptist Church as they celebrated their annual Men's Day Observance. The Theme for the program was "Christian Men Lifting Up Christ Through Fellowship". The Mayor of the City of Tallahassee gave a very moving and inspirational message. Many Alphas played prominent roles on the program. The year ended with the annual Black and Gold Ball on June 2nd, held at the beautiful Leon County Civic Center. The theme of this year's event was "Alphas under the Stars". The brothers and their dates looked dazzling in their formal wear. Music was provided by the band Work for Hire. On several occasions the crowd converged on the dance floor to do the "Electric Slide", a group dance where everyone does the same steps changing directions in unison. At the mid point of the night several brothers were recognized for their longevity in the fraternity (50 years or more). These included: Brothers Ted Cooper, Williar Foster, Ed Thorpe, and Moses G. Miles. The Education Committee was also recognized for its accomplishments during the year. Chapter officers for 1990-91 fraternal year will be: Gary John, President; Richard Hartsfield, Vice-President; Page 40

ARKANSAS TECH UNIVERSITY | Nu Alpha Accepts The Challenges: Today, Tomorrow, and Always The brothers of Nu Alpha chapter would like to extend its warmest greetings to all of the most noble greek brothers of Alphadom. Located in Russellville, AR and surrounded by the beautiful Ozark Mountains, Nu Alpha is striving toward the Light. Even though the Sphinx hasn't heard from NA in a while, we still are holding up the banner of Alpha. Our first challenge is to find "Alpha material" in only a very select amount of black men on campus. We continue to motivate our current brothers to reach their full potential. We realize it's an honor to wear the letters, but a privilege to live out its meaning. This realization has carried NA through the years. The ship of NA has endured some troubled times in our 13 year existence, but the light of a new day is on the horizon for our chapter and fraternity. Some of our past accomplishments include: Brother Roderick Graham and Brother Rodney Parks being included in Who's Who Among College and University Students in America the past two years.

NORTHEAST LOUISIANA U Eta Chi Chapter Helping Youth to March Onward and Upwards Greetings from the Brothers of Eta Chi Chapter to all of our Brothers in the House of Alpha. From Spring 1989 to Spring 1990, we provided service to all, working primarily with young people in the City of Monroe. We started the 1989 fraternal year with a tribute to Brother Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., presenting an honorarium on campus for the student body and community. The SUB Auditorium was packed and we ended the event singing "Lift Every Voice and Sing." We marched in a Black Heritage Parade with members of Eta Delta Lambda, Monroe's graduate chapter. The theme was "Black America: Moving Out of A Dark Past Into a Bright Future." Eta Chi also had the most members of any Pan-Hellenic Council organization in attendance at the SGA's presentation of "Eyes On the Prize," featuring award winning author Juan Williams. Brothers also took time out of their busy schedules to collect donations for the Northeast Louisiana Chapter of the Sickle Cell Anemia Foundation on campus. In the fall we sponsored a basketball tournament for the Tabernacle and Zion Travelers Baptist churches' Troop 65, recognizing the Boy Scouts Page 42

We also participated in a Haunted House and painted kids faces at Halloween for the MHA. Also in the fall, brothers stepped for the MHA kids, the Carroll High students and informally for the student body of Delta High School as a part of their homecoming celebration. In the spring, members served as ushers at another honorarium for King and delivered a speech. Brothers judged a local high school step show and chaperoned a party for Swayze Elementary School children.

SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY AT NEW ORLEANS Epsilon Upsilon Chapter Welcomes "The Lords of Thunder" Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., connoisseurs of fine wine and beautiful women, dedicated to manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind. Most noblemen of all greekdom the brotherhood of Epsilon Upsilon Chapter, Southern University at New Orleans bids you greetings at this time. Dear brothers it has been quite a while since EU has submitted a newsletter to the Sphinx. This chapter has come a long way in the past year, and we feel that the general brotherhood should be informed. In the Fall The Sphinx/Fall 1990

semester of 1988 EU welcomed three new brothers into Alphadom, these brothers composed the line of "The Lords Of Thunder" - Don-Terry "Cream De La Cream" Veal, Wesley "Maxwell House" Bishop, and Cornelius "Exorcist" Castian. In the following semester of 1989 newly made brothers Bishop and Castain held the aims of our dear fraternity high in a great display of achievement and leadership in earning the titles of SGA President, and SGA Vice President respectively. The President of EU is also a known campus leader, brother Darren Vigee who received his slice of the pie in being elected SGA Second Vice President. Well enough about prophytes, and politics. Let's talk about the Sphinxmen of Spring 1989. The Spring '89 Sphinxmen Club of Epsilon Upsilon chapter consisted of four young men who composed the line of "The Fantastic 4" - Edward "Easy E" Dozier, Kenny "Mr. Getbusy" Dixon, William "Megabyte" Dotson, and Bervin "Public Enemy" Smith. As we know men seeking entrance into Alphadom must possess scholarship; thus, Sphinxman William J. Dotson started off on the right foot by achieving academic excellence in his field of major study. Sphinxmen Dotson was awarded the Southern University At New Orleans Outstanding Computer Science Student Award 1988-89. The Sphinxmen went on proving themselves worthy of Alphadom in what ever they did; thus they were the first Sphinxmen to actively participate in a Greek Show as part of the Epsilon Upsilon Chapter. The spring semester ended with the initiation and crossing of "The Fantastic 4" into EU and Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. bringing the total chapter enrollment to nine brothers. During the Summer semester the EU family was somewhat scattered here and there, but the 83rd Anniversary Convention soon drew brothers back together again. The members in the chapter put together enough money to send five of nine brothers to the Convention. The brothers that attended were Darren Vigee, Edward Dozier, Kenny Dixon, William J. Dotson, and George Meyer. Now for the present happenings at EU. The brothers have really come together in the Fall of '89. Our chapter activities so far have been coming along just fine. We involved ourselves in Service Projects and Fund The Sphinx/Fall 1990

New York Times (Sunday, April 22, 1990) by Anne Guindlen who wrote: "The Mapplethrope pictures make you think about sexuality, and that's threatening as hell. They make you confront things you never wanted to confront in your whole life long. So that's fine. Don't go. Take the kids to the zoo. Watch "America's Funniest Home Videos." Dismiss the Mapplethorpe show as dirty pictures. Think of it as bad stuff you don't like, but don't think of it as bad stuff I can't like." The article concludes with this thought: "But 1 keep thinking about the American mind, a mind that veers away from danger into the placid land of multiple-choice questions in which there is only one right answer; in which there is one commu ni ty standard for us all, in which we are afraid of our own judgment. It seems to be getting thinner and thinner. That's obscene." Censorship extends one's own moral standards to everyone else. This is the mentality of the censor. This cannot be.

The entire fabric of this country is founded upon the principle of freedom of expression. That is what makes America, America—the margin of difference. In totalitarian states, the artist is told what he or she must produce. Here in America, the artist must be free to produce whatever and whenever their talents might lead them. And after the artist has given us his superior insights, the public must be free to engage them. The war against censorship must be won at all costs. Any country which does not provide a free and limitless climate tor the flourishing of the arts is inimical to progress. It is a country headed back to the Dark Ages. The artist might be the most important member of society. Nobody, but nobody, remembers a real estate agent from Classical Antiquity. The arts are indestructible. They will survive senators and politicians and self-appointed censors. For you have nothing to fear from the poet but the truth.

our return to civilian life, we must now begin to think and try and plan our movements and ideas. We must try to

our return to civilian life. Many of us will have to start all over again "from scratch," which means that we must use every ounce of our resources in order to become re-established. Surely we will not be able to do this if we do not resign ourselves to the fact that we must work hard to accomplish our sincere aims. It has often been said that you get no more out of a thing than you put into it . In order for any of us to become successful — according to this statement — we must put fourth and honest and sincere effort to establish ourselves as successful citizens. In order for us to have some idea of what we'd like to do, or will do upon

may not materialize. We must, above all, begin to consider and realize that what our neighbor does affects us; the same in an individual status as on a national scale. This does not mean malicious gossiping or eavesdropping, but constructive and — if something of the nature should happen — destructive actions within the community. We cannot hold the other fellow down in the gutter without, at least, acquiring the stench of the gutter ourselves. If we starve a man physically, then we in turn must starve in some respect; and the man who keeps his fellowman starvine for food or the necessities of

life, will no doubt be starving himself either spiritually, mentally, or both, for it is a belief that if we all have enough then no one need starve. Under these conditions one can readily see that the world will hardly be a place for any loafer. Nothing can be accomplished without an honest effort being made toward that end. Thus, let us now begin to think and plan our post-war world individually so that our collective efforts will bring about a world in which peace will bean incentive to continue the construction and advancement of the universe and war will only act as a hindrance and become a blot upon the greatest project the world has ever known, namely, the perpetuating and complete establishment of a lasting peace.

sonable bounds, as distortion feeds sensationalism and feeds parent concern for children." The article suggests that the current rush to bestow a seal of disapproval on some recordings is fueled by disinformation and hysteria. And then there was the Mapplethorpe exhibit which brought all of the moral politicians outofthe woodwork to save this country from "immoral trash." Newsweek Magazine was to write that a certain senator didn't know a thing about art, but when it came to the theater of politics, he was a virtuoso. While art was not the issue, did the government have the right to use taxpayers money to fund projects which offend the most deeply held religious and moral beliefs? The question to be asked at this point is this: Whose beliefs, whose morals, and by what authority is this protection requested? Again, there was a nice piece in the

50th Anniversary Committee of The Sphinx. At Southern in Baton Rouge I served as President of Beta Iota Lambda. In Atlanta I served as President of Eta Lambda and we bought a fraternity house where all Brothers (graduate and undergrad) were welcomed. I served as chairman of two Regionals - one in Baton Rouge and one in Atlanta. I became President-Elect in 1964 and served as General President from 1965 through 1968. During my administration we refurnished and renovated the headquarters, bought the land next door and reorganized the fraternity. We initiated Vice President Hubert Horatio Humphrey and had a balanced budget each year I served, leaving the fraternity's treasury in very good condition. I was also instrumental in bringing Greek letter organizations (including Alpha Phi Alpha) to Barber-Scotia College in 1965. Presently, I am a member of Zeta Delta Lambda Chapter in Springfield, Ohio. I have not missed a General Con-

I have not always been on the giving end but often a recipient of good things from Alpha. First and foremost was the love and respect of and for my brothers; an Alpha scholarship to the University of Michigan; our school, Central State University, received a gift of $15,000 in 1974 to aid us in the recovery from the devastating tornado of 1974; and the opportunity to serve my beloved brothers as their General President — which was, until the last convention when I received the Alpha Award of Merit, the highlight of my career in Alpha. I shall always remember how Alpha demanded high quality leadership through service and was a guide to my life. I am No. 16 Life Member, since 1947.

I needed the quiet; I though at first I rebelled, But gently, so gently, my cross He upheld, And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things. Though weakened in body, my spirit took wings To heights never dreamed of when active and gay, He loved so gently, He drew me away, I needed the quiet, No prison my bed, But a beautiful valley of blessing insteadA place to grow richer in Jesus to hide, I needed the quiet so he drew me aside. -Alice H.

OMAWALE, Nijisane

OWEN, Toby A.

Family members and friends of a popular Howard University student, whose stepfather was the leader of the failed coup in Trinidad, said yesterday they believe he was killed after the rebels surrendered there this week. Njisane Oma wale, 21, a senior finance major at Howard who was scheduled to be inducted as a national officer in the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, was killed sometime after the rebels released their hostages Wednesday, said a cousin of Omawale who lives in New York. "My aunt called and said he had been killed," said the cousin, who did not want her name used out of fear for her safety. Members of Omawale's fraternity at Howard said yesterday that they had called the morgue in the capital, Port of Spain, where an attendant described the body of a man who fit Omawale's description including a brand of the fraternity's insignia on the left arm. At least 22 people died and hundreds were injured in the attempt to take over the government of the southern Caribbean island that started last week with the taking of dozens of hostages, including the prime minister. The cousin's family in Trinidad told her that Omawale was in his grandmother's house outside Port of Spain when men dressed as soldiers removed his grandmother and mother from the house. The two women heard a gunshot from inside the house, the cousin said, and Omawale was later taken away on a stretcher. Attempts to confirm Omawale's death with officials in Trinidad by telephone were unsuccessful. And a spokesman for the Embassy of Trinidad and Tobago in Washington said he had no information about individual deaths on the island. The cousin in New York said that Omawale's father, who is a Nigerian diplomat with the United Nations, had left Thailand, where he was working, to travel to Trinidad. The whole family is angry, she said, "The government is not giving us any information." Omawale was a devout Moslem, friends said, like his stepfather, Imam Yasin Abu Bakr. He rarely talked politics, they said, but preferred to talk about studying business and law and activities in black fraternities. They said they doubt that Omawale had been involved in the coup attempt. He returned to Trinidad every summer for about one month to visit his mother. He was on the Dean's List at Howard every semester, friends said, and was active in the international students organization and the business students honor society. He was well known, students on campus said yesterday, especially among the more than 320 students from Trinidad who make up the largest contingent of foreign students from any one country. But his greatest love, his friends and cousin said, was for his fraternity. Locally, Omawale was an officer with the Howard University chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. He also served on the board of directors of the national governing group for black fraternities.

The Sphinx/Fall 1990

The Mark of a Leader

In the early 198()'s GE set out to become the most competitive business enterprise in the world. It was not just a proclamation, but a commitment to achieve market share leadership in a remarkably diverse portfolio of businesses in the technology, manufacturing and services sectors. Today, as we begin the 1990's, eleven of GE's thirteen major businesses are either world or national leaders. And though our financial services and communications businesses are too diverse for market

share measurements, they are of scale and potential appropriate to a 54 billion dollar company. The challenge to maintain world leadership in an enterprise as broad as ours requires competitive excellence in every aspect of every business function. Most of all, it requires people who thrive on competing with and for the best. People who view today's challenges as tomorrow's opportunities. If you are that kind of person, we'd like to meet you.
