The SPHINX | Fall 1992 | Volume 96 | Number 4 199207702

NOTES FROM THE EDITOR: WILL THE PHOENIX RISE? "Phoenix: a legendary bird which according to one account lived 500 years, burned itself to ashes on a pyre, and rose alive from the ashes to live another period."

Greetings my Brothers, a heart felt thanks to all who called and wrote letters about the last issue of the Sphinx. The staff and I have appreciated your kind words and comments. We will strive to make the magazine something we can all be proud to endorse.

Now about this issue. The Phoenix has come to symbolize hope in the midst of despair. Just as we wrapped up the last issue, we learned of Bro. Raymond W. Cannon's passing. We were saddened, but given hope that the light he brought to Alpha will continue to bum brightly. In remembering his legacy we transcribed one of his last interviews in which he talks about his life.

The Rodney King Verdict and the subsequent rioting will forever stay embedded in the minds of Americans as the day we woke up to contemporary racism. To help sort out the "whys" of the verdict, I have asked Bro. Michael Carter, Assistant Los Angeles County Prosecutor, to provide his perspective.

The cost of a college education is skyrocketing. More and more students are looking for grants and scholarships. What use to be an abundant commodity for minority students is vanishing. Bro. William Nelson, Ph.D., looks at the decline in race based scholarships in the Commentary section.

In this issue we have included Alpha Athlete. Our feature is on Bro. Nate "Tiny" Archibald, a member of the NBA Hall of Fame. For those of you old enough to remember, he was the precursor to Michael Jordan.

With the NBA behind him, he has launched a new career in inner city education.

Big Brother/Big Sisters of America has been a part of Alpha Phi Alpha for several years. Many Chapters have set-up their own programs, others may be wondering where to begin. Bros. Robert Christian and Dale Long will give you some helpful hints in implementing this worthwhile program.

Last but not least, I have been accused of being a pack rat. You see, I collect everything - baseball cards, comic books, magazines, records, coins etc. I know I'm not alone. If you've looked back at some of those things, you'll find they have gained a considerable amount of value. We'll look at collecting (especially Black memorabilia) and where you can buy, sell, and display historical artifacts.

As you read these pages, know that it is not the work of one person - but many minds coming together to produce a document. In many instances brothers; in others, lay persons. I'd like to say thanks to the following lay persons: Ms. Barbara (my mom), Bob, Mona, Chris Martin, the crew at AWA-BWI, Mardecia (and her new arrivial), Vincent (CGS) and my staff, Laurie & Jonice.

Let us know how we're doing. Keep the light of Alpha burning Brightly..."06".

The author of this phrase obviously had no idea it would describe Bro. Nate "Tiny" Archibald, a member of the National Basketball Association Hall of Fame. He is the subject of this issue's Alpha Athlete.

19—Commentary- If it had not been for minority scholarships many of us may not have been able to attend college. The likelihood of these scholarships being available for future generations is in question. Bro. William Nelson, Ph.D. looks at the attack on minority scholarships.

20—Focus- The Rodney King beating shocked us, and when the trial involving the police officers charged with his beating ended in not guilty verdicts, we were shocked again. How could this happen? Los Angeles Assistant Prosecutor, Bro. Michael Carter looks at the case and its violent aftermath.

THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY'S DESK PREPARING FDR THE FRATERNAL YEAR AHEAD may contact the General Office for further instructions.

Dear Brothers in Alpha: I am very appreciative for the many Brothers who have called and written to me personally conveying their best wishes (and in some cases condolences), concerning my return to office following my leave of absence. In most cases, my belief in and personal commitment to Alpha has been greatly increased because of the kindness shown by those Brothers who I have heard from. ALPHA IS INDEED ALIVE SOMEWHERE OUT THERE! But needless to say, "The sands of time, just like the tides of an ocean, will continue to flow no matter how we try to keep it still."

It was like yesterday that we were enjoying the snow-covered hills of winter, we are almost through summer, and fall is just a few months away.

What better time for all of us to make a checklist of the things that we need to do to be ready for business by September 1, 1992. First of all, all elections of officers should have taken place, which means we should have on file a brand new Chapter Directory for every chapter. This will enable us to make pertinent mailings to our chapters without delay. If you have not filed your directory, please do so as soon as possible, so you will not be left out of important communications that will take place. Now is also a good time to clear up any outstanding intake

The Sphinx/Summer 1992

The minutes of the Baltimore Convention have been distributed to the chapters. If your chapter has not received its copy (which might mean the absence of the chapter directory form), then please notify Bro. Charles Robinson and a copy will be forwarded to you.

James B. Blanton, III matters such as: passcards, risk management certifications, missing histories and pins, and any other delayed actions pending.

Also, take a few moments to make sure your post office box has been renewed for the upcoming year. If not, make sure by August 31 you have submitted the proper fees to have it activated.

Many chapter officers, especially chapter financial officers, are calling the General Office and inquiring whether we have a tax ID number chapters can use. The answer, of course, is NO. Every chapter must file an IRS form requesting a tax ID number for each chapter to use for its bank or any otherfinancialdealings it has with institutions requiring the same.

When making a call to the General Office, it would certainly be appreciated if you have your question^) ready and identify the department you wish to contact. Give that information to the receptionist when you call. This will help to speed your call along, and at the same time get your information faster, and in an efficient manner.

The General Office is broken down into four (4) different departments (Division of Membership Services, Division of Communications, Division of Accounting and Finance, and Division of Administration). The functions of the divisions are explained in their titles.

Please familiarize yourself with these divisions, and refer to them when you need general information from the office.

ALPHA WORKSHOP lessness out of which problems arise, you have to remove the circumstances in which these incidents can and do happen.

Darryl Matthews Marketing/ Membership Q. There are a number of Brothers in our chapter reaching their twenty-fifth and fiftieth year anniversaries with the fraternity.

What is the procedure for ordering the appropriate certificates?

Aren't they sent out automatically?

A. All you need to do is list the Brothers names, social security numbers, dates of initiation, chapter of initiation, and most importantly, the date the certificate will be presented. Once each record is verified, only then is the certificate prepared.

Please make your request in writing only, and allow for a minimum of two weeks turn-around for the certificates.

Q. Are there post intake activities for newly inducted undergraduate Brothers; and should they be expected to participate in these activities if they want to be accepted as "full fledged" Brothers?

A. One major problem that prevents the elimination of hazing and pledging activities, is the willingness of aspirants to participate. It is acknowledged throughout the "frat" that The Revised Edition of The Standing Orders that implements the intake process is not a panacea.

To eliminate the opportunity for wanton acts of violence, or the careThe Sphinx!Summer 1992

It is unfortunate that some people have such a dire need to "belong," to fit in with the crowd, (or as they say today—"To be down wit'it").

They will subject themselves to acts of humiliation, ridicule, or even death. This behavior fits more in line with that of gangs, rather than college trained men; the talented tenth.

If a young man is interested in joining the Fraternity, he should be directed to the proper authorities.

When he receives and completes a formal application for membership, he enters into a legal process. The application contains a sworn statement he must sign. This statement acknowledges he understands that pledging and hazing are not requirements for membership (read and review an Application for Membership).

He also needs to understand if he participates in any illegal activities, he removes himself from further consideration for membership. If you are willing to break the rules before you get in, how can you respect our rules and regulations once you are "made" a Brother?

Q. I am an advisor for a college chapter. We are having a great deal of difficulty and discussion over the concept of "Alpha Angels" and ladies auxiliaries (little sister groups or sweet heart groups). The chapter feels that if they have another name other than Alpha Angels that they are not in violation of the policy forbidding the establishment of, or interaction with these groups. I

need some direction to help me enlighten my young Brothers.

A. "A rose by any other name.... " At the 1976 General Convention held in New York and Monrovia, Liberia, the Fraternity adopted a policy regarding not only Alpha Angels, but also Alpha Bettes, and Alpha Wives. (The policy is printed on page 54 of the 70th Anniversary Convention Minutes.) This means that no Brother can be named or selected as an Angel coordinator (or any similar title), a liaison to a little sister group, or auxiliary group of any type. Nor should any external group make mention of the Fraternity in its constitution and by-laws.

Brothers are not to be involved in the selection of members for them.

With regard to sweetheart courts, most of our chapters hold annual competitions from which they choose a "court" of young ladies to serve as their representatives. The candidates are generally selected because of their support of the local chapter and its programs, their adherence to high academic standards, and a host of other objective criteria. These courts are honorary in nature, and are conducted somewhat like a homecoming queen competition or any other similar talent/beauty pageant. These ladies form the nucleus of the candidates from which the contestants for the regional, and later the national Ms. Black and Gold competition held at the General Convention are chosen.

We encourage these types of activities. At no time should the candidates for Ms. Black and Gold, at any level, be required to perform acts of servitude, collect signatures, or perform any other requirement that could by the slightest stretch of the imagination be considered hazing.

ACCOUNTING AND FINANCE

Chuma Tibbs, C. P. A. Accounting and Finance

ACCOUNTING & FINANCE Dear Brothers: Thanks once again for all of your kind words of encouragement.

We are making progress in creating the type of Accounting & Finance Office you deserve and have come to expect from the General Office.

With the convention behind us, we must prepare for the coming Fraternal year. As you know all chapters of Alpha Phi Alpha should begin the process of submitting their Chapter Tax and Grand Tax payments by members.

To assist the Accounting & Finance Office with properly crediting your chapter, we would like to offer several reminders that will assist us and your chapter to complying with the Constitution and ByLaws of Alpha Phi Alpha.

REMINDERS: 1. TYPE all reports.

2. You must give SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS, FULL

NAMES, AND MAILING ADDRESSES of each person listed.

Copy" will be returned as your receipt.

3. Remittances WITHOUT Social Security Numbers listed will be returned promptly, without being processed.

You may continue to use any of the 4-part forms remaining in your inventory. They are compatible with the new forms.

4. DO NOT INCLUDE payments for any Brother missing essential information. To do so will delay processing of all payments included on the remittance.

Chapters that owe for previous years, must pay previous Chapter Tax as well as the current Chapter Tax, in order to be in Good Standing with the Fraternity.

5. EACH INITIATE MUST PAY THE COST FOR GRAND TAX, INITIATION FEE, PIN, AND HISTORY.

As an additional reminder, any funds turned in after the November 15, 1992 cut-off will be assessed a late fee of $ 10.00 for Grand Tax payments, and $21.00 for Chapter Tax payments.

6. List CHAPTER TAX on a separate line from any GRAND TAX payment in the column provided.

7. List all LIFE MEMBERSHIP PAYMENTS, if any, on a remittance separate from Grand Tax payments.

8. Send Headquarters Maintenance and Restoration Assessments (formerly referred to as the National Headquarters Building Fund) on a separate remittance with a separate check.

We look forward to assisting all chapters and Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha in the coming year. We hope this will be a prosperous and constructive year for all those who "march onward and upward toward the light."

Fraternally,

Chuma N. Tibbs, CPA Director/ Accounting & Finance

9. HANDWRITTEN REMITTANCES will be returned promptly without being processed.

ADMINISTRATION

Aaron H. Pretlow Office Manager

Greetings Brothers: Being the newest member of the General Headquarters Staff, I would first like to thank General President, Brother Henry Ponder, and the management team for giving me an opportunity to serve the Brotherhood.

The title of Office Manager carries with it a great deal of responsibility. In addition to maintaining the building, my area of responsibility includes maintaining our personnel department, and special projects such as registration.

Time management plays a great role in managing the General Headquarters. To assist in coordinating activities, I ask all Brothers who plan to tour the General Headquarters to please call in advance and set an appointment. This small gesture of consideration will enable us to accommodate you when your travel plans bring you to Baltimore.

Fraternally Yours, Aaron H. Pretlow Office Manager (Alpha Workshop Cont.)

Q. Is Life Membership going up to $1000.00 at the General Convention? If so, how can I get mine at the current rate?

A.There is no way to know what the General Convention, the supreme governing body of the Fraternity, will do. Most of the Brothers voting on the proposals and amendments are already life members, so the increase will not affect them.

However, if the price is increased (to whatever amount), it does not go into effect until ratified by the chapters, and the brotherhood is notified by the office of the Executive Secretary.

Page 10

You may subscribe to become a Life Member by paying an initial payment of $ 150.00, and the balance over three years. While paying towards your Life Membership you must continue to pay Grand Tax each year until you complete your payment plan. The year that you pay off the balance, your Grand Tax for THAT YEAR ONLY applies toward the balance.

Q. When I paid for my Life Membership, I didn't receive a lapel pin. Aren't the pins ineluded in the total amount for life membership?

The Life Member plate and certificate (suitable for framing), is included with the awarding of your Life Member number. Duplicate plates cost $10.00 and duplicate certificates cost $4.00.

Q. Now that I've paid my life membership dues, do I have to pay the Building Fund Assessment?

A. Current and new Life Members must pay the one-time Headquarters Maintenance and Restoration Assessment (formerly referred to as the National Headquarters Building Fund) to be fully financial. It is still only $100.00.B

A. Life Member pin is optional, and may be purchased for $60.00.

HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE

by Brother Reavis L. Mitchell, Jr. Historian, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.

Brother Meredith G. Ferguson, General Treasurer of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., 1945-65, is a Brother about the business of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Bro. Ferguson was born August 23, 1894 in Arlington, Tennessee. He was an outstanding student with a reputation for remarkable comprehension of facts and figures. In 1912, he attended Tennessee A&I Normal School (the predecessor of today's Tennessee State University) in Nashville . Bro. Ferguson was elected president of the senior class and graduated in 1915. In December 1919, he began his life with Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. with his initiation into Chi Chapter at Meharry Medical College.

Bro. Ferguson's personal and fraternal life reflected his abilities and comprehension of finances and monetary policy. From 192124, he was associated with the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company as a state agent.

He joined Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Co. of Nashville, Tennessee in 1924, one of the oldest continuously operated AfricanAmerican banking institutions in the United States of America. He became President of that institution in 1959.

Bro. Ferguson's national service to Alpha Phi Alpha began in 1936 when he was appointed a

The Sphinx/Summer 1992

Regional Director of the Fraternity. In 1937, under the administration of the late General President, Bro. Charles H. Wesley, he was appointed one of the two national auditors of the Fraternity.

When an audit committee was formed in the mid 1930's, Bro. Ferguson chaired that committee for ten years. His leadership and careful accounting for the Fraternity's assets were recognized.

Under the administration of General President, Bro. Rayford W. Logan, he was appointed the General Treasurer of Alpha Phi Alpha, a position he held for two decades. At the 1956 General Convention, Bro. Ferguson suggested the Fraternity carefully study the various projects it sponsored to determine whether the money was being spent wisely.

Addtionally, he suggested changes should be made that would carry the activities back to the ideas of scholarships and fellowships—which possibly would mean a greater growth to the organization. Alpha should determine on a factual information basis whether or not it can afford the programs. According to The History of Alpha Phi Alpha: A Development in College Life by Bro. Charles H. Wesley, Past Historian of Alpha Phi Alpha, this recommendation had a sobering effect upon the on proposals being advanced by the Brothers at the convention.

to the Committee for the National Headquarters. In 1954, he was appointed and provided distinguished leadership to the Alpha Housing Corporate Board of Directors.

In addition to his services at the national level, Bro. Ferguson served for more than 20 years as the treasurer of Tau Lambda Chapter Nashville. He was truly concerned with the financial stability of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. and Black America.

On March 26, 1978, Bro. Meredith G. Ferguson entered Omega Chapter and is buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee.

The Alpha Profile Series will focus on active Brothers, as well as members of Omega Chapter.

Requests and recommendations for profiles may be addressed to: Bro. Reavis L. Mitchell, Jr., Ph.D. Historian Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Fisk University Nashville, TN, 37208-3051.

There Goes An Alpha Man XAVIER PRESIDENT RECEIVES LOVING CUP AWARD Bro. Norman Francis, in his 24th year as president of Xavier University, has spent a lifetime bringing people together. In recognition of decades of accomplishments in education, civil rights and civic leadership, he has been named the recipient of The Times Picayune Loving Cup.

Allix Bledsoe James, Ph.D.

Virginia Union Chancellor Joins National NCCJ Bro. Allix Bledsoe James, Ph.D. has been appointed to the Executive Board of the National Conference of Christians and Jews (NCCJ). Gillian M. Sorensen, president of the 65-year old human relations organization, announced the election of Bro. James.

Mr. Sorensen said, "We were the beneficiaries of his great leadership when he served as President of the Virginia Region of the NCCJ. His election to the National Council was a natural progression."

Bro. James currently serves as Chancellor at Virginia Union University, where he has been an educator for more than forty years. While at VUU, he has served as President, Dean of the School of Theology, and Dean of Students.

Bro. James' involvement in promoting racial harmony has not been limited to the United States. He was a member of the American Education Team that worked with the educational teams and missions to Japan, Hong Kong, India, Thailand, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, Taiwan, Italy, France, Mexico, and Israel.

At VUU's 127th Annual Founders' Day Celebration, the university honored Bro. James at the dedication of the Allix B. James Chapel during the Convocation Service. He is a native of MarshallJ'exas and a graduate of Virginia Union University . 1

The Sphinx/Summer 1992

The cup has been awarded annually since 1901 to citizens who have worked unselfishly for the community without expectation of public recognition or material reward. Ann Milling, a member of the Selection Committee said, "Norman Francis has been more than an educator and leading proponent of educational reform. In his own sensitive and effective way, he uses his talents to bring divergent groups together for the good of our city. He is truly a role model for all New Oleanians."

Tulane University President, Eamon Kelly, described Bro. Francis as "not only an important figure in New Orleans, but he is a major force in higher education in the United States. One of Norman's great attributes is his ability to understand the positions of all the parties involved and develop a consensus."

Bro. Francis was one of the early voices crying for educational reform. In 1983, he served on the National Commission on Excellence in Education, which wrote "A Nation At Risk," a report on the deficiencies in American education. Bro. Francis, the first Black student to graduate from Loyola University Law School says, "I made the decision early that if you just stay put and react to what people do, you'll spend all of your life reacting."

As a young lawyer, he traveled throughout the South for the U.S. Attorney General's Office and helped integrate federal agencies. As a respected civic force, he has served on city and state boards.

His contributions to New Orleans area civic endeavors include being the chairman of the board of Liberty Bank and Trust, and a member of The Times Picayune Advisory Board.

of two teams from the same school leading the competition are phenomenal.

The teams were commended for their performance with a proclamation on April 23, 1992 by the Governor of Maryland. The Maryland State Legislature passed a Joint Resolution on March 3rd and 10th complimenting the coach and the teams for this outstanding achievement.

Much of the success in the competition can be attributed to long hours of study and debate. The rewards go far beyond the receipt of a trophy. Those who competed have been accepted by some of the nations most prestigious law schools. The schools include: Harvard, Michigan, Georgetown, Colorado, Stanford, Northwestern, Howard, and Maryland. Additionally, many of the students will be attending the schools on scholarships.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND TAKES FIRST AND SECOND AT MOCK TRIAL COMPETITION Each year at the National Intercollegiate Mock Trial Competition, colleges and universities from across the nation showcase their best legal minds with hopes of being honored as the best.

When this year's verbal gamesmanship had ended, the two teams in first and second place were from the University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP).

This first and second place finish can be attributed to Bro. Noel Myricks of Iota Upsilon Lambda, the faculty advisor and coach of the team.

The annual tournament is hosted by the Drake University Law School in Des Moines, Iowa. Justices of the Iowa Supreme Court preside over the championship round.

Bro. Myricks, a practicing attorney, says this was the first time in the history of the contest that two teams from the same school wound up in first and second place. When you consider the field of competitors, and the fact, Bro. Myricks coaches both groups, the odds Page 14

Bro. H. Welton Flynn has been named chairman of the San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau's Board of Directors. Bro. Flynn becomes the first AfricanAmerican to head Visitor Bureaus' board.

Bro. Flynn is no stranger to being a first. He was the first Black to serve as a member of a San Francisco Public Utilities Commission for 21 years, including six terms as president.

The 71-year-old C.P.A. will oversee the city's 3.9 billion dollar visitor industry. His administration will be in charge of a $200 million dollar expansion of the Moscone Convention Center. The expansion will double the meeting and exhibit space to 60,000 square feet.

The inaugural events for the convention center expansion will be the National Travel Industry Association of America's Trade Show and Semicon/West (Semiconductor) Trade Show.

Neither show could meet in the Moscone Center prior to the renovation due to space limitations, according to the Convention Bureau.

Bro. Flynn hopes to see a dramatic increase in convention bookings for the city with the enlargement of the center.

In addition to his civic responsibilities, Bro. Flynn is active in the community and operated his own accounting firm for the past 43 years.l Bro. Alsan James Bellard, Jr., initiated into the Delta Sigma Chapter in April, 1990, is now serving as President of the Student Government Association at Grambling State University. As a senior honor student with a 3.99 gradepoint average, Bro. Bellard's is a Biology pre-med major. He is intent on pursuing a medical degree specializing in either geriatrics or emergency medicine. He has completed three summer interns grooming him for the role he will play upon entering the medical field.

His first internship was during the summer of 1989 at the University of Oklahoma Health Careers Opportunity Program. This program exposed Bro. Bellard to the intricate math and science problems associated with today's modern hospitals. The following year he interned at the University of Colorado Institute for Behavioral Genetics SMART Program. This program introduced him to medical research which in turn led to his conducting his own medical research and writing a paper on "Effects of Acute and Chronic Corti-

costerone on Nicotine Sensitivity in Mice of the A Strain," which is soon to be published. This past summer, Alsan interned at prestigious Princeton University. The program he particpated in was the Princeton University Summer Research Experience Program. Under this program, Bro. Bellard performed research in molecular biology, utilizing Drosophila melanogaster.

Bro. Bellard has served as SGA president, 1989-90 Student Union Advisory Board, Parliamentarian, 1990-91 Junior Class President, and as 1990-91 Delta Sigma Chapter Vice-President. He is currently serving as assistant to State Director, Bro. Joseph Byrd. The Biology majors many awards include: the 1989-90 GSU student of the Year, Presidential-Merit Scholarship, President's List, National Dean's List, T.H. Harris Scholarship, GSU ADAMHA-MARC Program Scholar, National Minority Leadership Award, Gamma Beta Phi Honor Society, National Presidential Merit Award, Who's Who Among American Colleges and Universities, Alpha Kappa Mu Honor Society, and Earl Lester Cole Honors College.

Bro. Bellard truly exemplifies that "MEANINGFUL LIGHT." Let us keep encouraging our young Page 15

Alpha's On The Move brother to strive to be a great leaders and positive role models for all young black men of today and tomorrow. I Bro. Larry Drake, a Vice President and General Manager for Kentucky Fried Chicken's (KFC) Midwestern region, was recently featured in the Wall Street Journal.

Bro. Drake was profiled in the financial paper as one of many African-American executives who have been lured away from other managerial positions to join the chicken chain.

Bro. Drake's arrival at KFC is part of an overall plan to increase the number of minorities and women at the company through their Designate Program. KFC U.S. Operations President, Kyle Craig says, "we want to bring in the best people ... if there are two equally qualified, we'd clearly like to have diversity." In the short time the program has been in place, KFC has made significant gains. In 1989, none of the company's 17 senior U.S. Managers were minority; today there are seven.

Bro. Drake, who was lured away from the Coca-Cola Company, wanted to make sure his arrival was not just a token effort. When he was hired, he made it known to Mr. Craig that he did not want to be brought into the organization just because he's Black. Mr. Craig agreed saying, "I'm glad to find people with strong management skills who are interested in KFC, and who happen to be black."

One of the reasons Bro. Drake states that he left Coke in the winter 1990, was that he felt he had leveled off in the rise to the top.

When he applied, and then agreed to accept a position at KFC, there were no senior executive positions Page 16

available. Instead, the company offered him a title of vice president and a promise of an executive position within a year. Meanwhile, he would train in the company's restaurants learning the business from the kitchen up.

He has since left the fryers and the mash potatoes behind. He is now responsible for 259 company and 805 franchise restaurants with combined revenues of nearly 800 million dollars.

The program which enabled him to reach this senior executive position is being considered a model by some outside firms who have said finding qualified minority and women candidates has been a problem. I Bro. Vincent Wiggins, a member of Epsilon Alpha Chapter at the University of Toledo, has been named business manager of The Collegian, the University's student newspaper, for the 1992-93 academic year. He is the first AfricanAmerican to serve as business manager for the University Newspaper.

A 1989 initiate, Bro. Wiggins is a senior in the College of Business Administration. He is majoring in marketing, with an emphasis on advertising and promotion. He plans to use his advertising and business experience to expand The Collegian's advertising department.

"I'd like to regain the share of advertising business that other newspapers have taken," Wiggins said. "I'm sure that with my business experience I can do it."

Bro. Wiggins was business manager of the Black Student Union during the 1988-89 academic year, and served as the BSU's president from 1990-91. He was also a Stu-

dent Government cabinet member during that time and was nominated for the student post on UT's Board of Trustees.

Currently employed at Silicon Solutions, Wiggins has worked as building manager for the Student Recreation Center. He presently serves as chaplain and community service chairman for Epsilon Alpha Chapter. I Bro. Robert J. Yarbrough, a member of Theta Psi Lambda Chapter of Somerset, New Jersey was selected as the keynote speaker at this year's National Society of Black Engineers 18th Annual National Convention (NSBE) in New York City. Bro. Yarbrough is an Assistant Engineer at ETHICON, INC., a Johnson & Johnson Company in Somerville, New Jersey. The theme of his keynote address was "I Dream A World African Community, 1992."

Bro. Yarbrough, the Fraternity's 1990 National Oratorical Winner, and 1990 NSBE National Oratorical Winner, works in the Needle division of Ethicon's $493 million a year Wound Closure Business. He especially enjoys speaking to young people and has given several motivational, inspirational and culturally uplifting speeches to area high schools and college students, as well as civic organizations.

This 26- year-old engineer spends much of his spare time working with the Board of Directors of the Martin Luther King Youth Center in Somerville, N.J., where he is the Recording Secretary. His other extra-curricular activities include being a mentor for Minority Access to Professional Scholars Program; and serving as a member for the local chapter of the (continued on page 18) The SphinxlSummer 1992

ALPHA ATHLETE teria. In this out of the way classroom they watch the movie "E.T." Keeping them stationary is almost impossible. Some fidget, others seem to be off in their own world.

Bro. Archibald assures me he is in control. He reinforces this by sternly warning two boys to cease their horse-playing.

It's 10 a.m. at P.S. 175 in Harlem, N.Y. As the K - 8th graders move through the hallways, there appears to be a sense of confusion to the outsider. However, to the trained instructor this movement is just a casual episode in a school day.

Amidst this sea of children is an instructor who carries a basketball in one hand, and points directions with the other. Hoping for attention, several children shout his name "Mr. Archibald!"

They are referring to Bro. Nate "Tiny" Archibald, a member of the National Basketball Hall of Fame, Most Valuable Player in the 1981 NBA All-Star Game, league assist leader in 1972-73, and member of the Boston Celtics who won the NBA Championship in 1980-81.

At 6 feet, 1 inch tall, his size rarely intimidated NBA opponents (nor does it intimidate his students, some of whom are equal to him in height). Instead, he garners their respect.

On this day, the gymnasium where Bro. Archibald normally holds physical education class is being used for graduation rehearsals. His second grade class of twenty has been moved to the cafeThe SphinxlSummer 1992

Bro. Archibald understands that young people need to unleash this penned-up energy. He grew up in Harlem and still lives in New York City with his wife and three kids.

He had that same energy when he was young. He released it on the basketball court. He admits basketball was his way out of the ghetto.

Now, he's returned to inspire others in overcoming their surroundings. Not only through the field of sports, but academically in the classroom. "I understand them.

The biggest thing these kids need is positive role models," says Bro. Archibald.

He says his effect on them may be influenced by the fact that he has recently been featured on television. The kids were amazed to find him running up and down the court in the NBA Legends game.

He also appeared at Earvin "Magic" Johnson's Slam and Jam in Maui, Hawaii. When the children returned to school, they were amazed that he knew some of their favorite stars, Michael Jordan and Kadeem Hardison (Dwayne Wayne of "A Different World").

"It's amazing their connection to the television set," he says, "their world is so shaped by the media."

Bro. Archibald uses the student's interest in the media to peak their curiosity. "So, how can I be in Hawaii one day and be here another?" Their faces are puzzled and they don't respond. "There was

someone there videotaping the event so it could be played back at a later time," he answers, as the oh's and uh-huh's resound through the gathered listeners.

Making this transition back to a classroom was something Bro. Archibald never expected. In fact, as he works on his Ph.D. at Fordham University, he is constantly humbled. "When I arrived at one of my first lectures, the instructor called for Mr. Archibald, and I failed to respond. Having been a basketball star, people rarely referred to me by my last name—only Tiny." The classroom of doctoral candidates have no idea of his basketball exploits. This was not the case after he graduated as a basketball star from Dewitt Clinton High School in the Bronx.

At Arizona Western College and the University of Texas-El Paso (UTEP), academics were second to basketball. He admits he graduated with enough skills to function in a normal society. Once his professional basketball career was over in 1984, he returned to UTEP to become an assistant coach. He opted to take several graduate courses while coaching. Upon his return to academia, he recognized he had missed something during his undergraduate days. "It took hard work to get good grades."

It was during this time he met Bro. Chet Jordan. Bro. Jordan seemed to be a friend to everyone of color at UTEP. Often he would bring students to his home for dinner, and help local kids stay in school. Bro. Archibald says Bro. Jordan knew of his community involvement and sought him out.

They had several conversations about his goals beyond basketball.

Bro. Jordan posed the question Page 17

which the NBA Hall of Famer says profoundly changed his life: "What is it that you are missing in your life?" It was then, Bro. Archibald says he came to the conclusion that he really wanted to help kids. It was this relationship that led Bro. Archibald to become an Alpha man.

When Bro. Archibald returned to New York, he went to work for the public school system. He passed up several opportunities to work in socalled "choice schools." He opted to go to schools in his old neighborhoods of Brooklyn and the Bronx.

Now he's at P.S. 175 in Harlem. He explains, "These kids rarely ever see a professional; their world is filled with things few of us will ever see, and this is normal for them." He directed my attention to just outside the school to describe tenament apartments where drugs are peddled openly—and violence is a way of life. "The school is the oasis. We deal with kids in more than just a teacher-student relationship. Sometimes we're counselors, confidants, and even mothers and fathers."

What does the future hold for Bro. Archibald? He confided that he'd like to be a principal one day.

He believes there needs to be fundamental changes in the way education is approached, especially for inner-city youth. He says he is not certain if "quiet" in the classroom is learning. He explains, "I'd prefer to have cooperative learning." He describes this as listening with give-and-take, and having things explained rather than given with no explanation.

Another aspect of his long-term goals would be to help inner-city kids break into corporate America. He describes corporate America in the third person as the "fraternity." "What these kids need are role models." He says, "Down in the Wall Street District there is an elementary school... those kids will have lawyers, doctors, and stock brokers come by as Page 18

lecturers and be considered role models. For many of these kids their closest role model is someone who just has a job."

He's trying to help in that area by using his stature in the NBA to bring in professionals. Already MCI has signed to participate in such a program. He'd like to see more companies look to inner-city schools to help break the cycle of despair for so many youngsters. He feels that if education and corporate America can come together by the year 2000, many of these youngsters could one day be running their own businesses.

COMMENTARY A FRATERNAL OBLIGATION: Countering The Attack Against Black Scholarship

ships by colleges and universities receiving federal assistance. The new policy was announced by Assistant Secretary for Education Michael L. Williams (a Black man) in December, 1990. Williams declared that race based scholarships were illegal because they were in violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which forbids discrimination on the basis of race, religion or national origin.

Dr. William Nelson Control of the White House by conservative Republican administrations since 1980 has significantly changed the climate of opinion and policy on civil rights and affirmative action issues. During the decades of the 1960s and 70s, the federal government was deeply involved in removing critical racial barriers to Black social and economic progress. A broad array of public and private programs, backed by federal legislation, was established to eradicate discriminatory employment practices, encourage increased Black college enrollment, and facilitate the movement of highly trained Black citizens into professional roles.

The Reagan Administration signaled a major break with the policies of the past by endorsing tax exemptions for institutions like Bob Jones University that overtly discriminated against Black students in their admissions practices. In keeping with the Reagan legacy, the Bush administration, responding to pressure from its conservative supporters, launched a frontal assault against Black progress by banning the use of race based scholarThe SphinxlSummer 1992

Civil rights proponents found the Bush Administration's position on race-based scholarships shocking and disconcerting. Despite the Willie Horton election ploy, many civil rights leaders were optimistic that Bush would not take the Reagan low road of racial division, but would set a tone in his administration that would encourage continuing progress in the realm of affirmative action on a variety of fronts.

Bush's unprovoked attack on one of the pivotal foundations of Black advancement, college training, articulated a clear message that the politics of race would remain a central component of the Republican

Party's efforts to mobilize electoral majorities behind its candidates and programs. The attack on Black scholarships was particularly galling in the face of statistics that showed a significant decline in the enrollment of Blacks in institutions of higher education. Further, many observers found it ironic that the 1964 Civil Rights Act, designed to open the doors of opportunity for Black advancement, was now being narrowly interpreted by the Bush administration to bar the use of private and public funds for scholarships that benefited Black students, even if it could be shown that financial aid to white students would not be diminished by existing race-based scholarship programs.

The sense of betrayal in the civil rights community was deepened when it became clear that the Bush administration was seeking to wipe out Black scholarships, while leaving intact a host of scholarship programs restricted to Jews, Italians, the Irish, Catholics, and other non-Black groups. In truth, the earmarking of scholarship funds along ethnic lines is a common practice in American higher education. For example, Fordham University Law School has restricted scholarships for Irish and Italian students; the University of Florida offers scholarships to students of Greek heritage; Gettysburg College has nine scholarships restricted to men and none to women. By attacking scholarship programs for Black students exclusively, the Bush administration appeared intent on taking political advantage of the fears of the white majority that continuing (continued on page 52) Page 19

As I watched the crowd swell, one in the group picked up a stop sign and smashed the guard station. This just incited the crowd.

My car, just one of two on the lot, became a potential target.

And J u s t i c e For All?

INSIDE THE RODNEY KING CASE Violence in Los Angeles is a common occurrence, but the aftermath of the Rodney King verdict has given violence a new meaning.

I watched the riots like millions of others and felt disgust, but I understood what brought on their actions. Los Angeles, my home, had reached a boiling point. Lack of jobs and other economic factors were the extra friction needed to set off what can best be described as ... spontaneous combustion.

People with so little, have nothing to lose. However, what may have been a case of the haves-verPage 20

sus-the-have-nots, quickly turned into a case of criminal opportunity.

With the police pulling away from the riot scene, and television stations showing rioters getting away without being stopped — it was "open season." People from as far away as San Diego came to greater LA to partake in the so-called "reward of the riots."

The events of April 29, 1992 are nightmarish! I, an assistant LA Deputy Prosecutor was one of the many caught in the eye of this brutal racial and social hurricane.

As one of the attorneys that worked with Deputy District Attorney Terry White in the prosecution of the Powell et al. case (a.k.a. the Rodney King Case), I had intimate details of the trial. On the day of the verdict I worked a criminal case. At roughly 1 p.m., the legal team was advised that the jury in Simi Valley California had reached a verdict with a decision on all but one count. The speculation running through the prosecution was that all but one officer had been found guilty. An assumption that later proved to be wrong.

The Sphinx/Summer 1992

As I continued to litigate, my legal clerk returned to the courtroom with the news. The verdict was written on her face — all but one officer were found not guilty. The jury was deadlocked over the last officer, Laurence Powell (the policeman who delivered the blows with the baton). I asked for a recess, and the case was never finished.

I went to dinner feeling frustrated. Los Angeles radio stations began reporting the riots. I observed several protesters on my way back to my office, near City The Sphinx/Summer 1992

What would make normal law abiding citizens take to rioting and looting in the streets? Will South Central Los Angeles be able to return to its former self?

You have to return to the event which set all the wheels in motion.

On March 5, 1991 the world witnessed the horrendous beating of Rodney G. King by four Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers. To some, the video-taped beating was the most shocking event they had ever seen in their lives, but for young Black males — it was routine.

Some people reacted to the video tape with horror as they watched blow after blow strike a defenseless Mr. King. Others were relieved to know that these type of events were finally brought to light for the whole world to see.

One of the most frightening things about this beating was not that it happened at all, but that it took place on a large street with

traffic and an apartment complex across from it.

FACTS On March 3, 1991, sometime after 11:00 p.m., Rodney King and two of his friends were traveling Westbound on Freeway 210 in a Hyundai. As they passed a marked California Highway Patrol (CHP) car, a pursuit began. The CHP car occupied by Melanie and Tim Singer (a husband and wife team), exited the freeway when they saw the car approach in their rear-view mirror. They re-entered the freeway on the same street. By the time they re-entered the freeway, the Hyundai had passed them at an estimated speed of over 100 mph.

When the CHP car activated its lights and siren, King exited the freeway as if he were going to pull over. When he arrived at the bottom of the off-ramp, he ran a posted stop sign. The pursuit began. The entire pursuit was approximately 8 miles long, and reached speeds of up to 60 mph.

King's pursuit route was in somewhat of a circular pattern with no apparent destination. It ended some five minutes later.

The location was directly across the street from Mr. George Halliday's apartment. Halliday's bedroom and living room balconies faced the street where King was stopped. Soon after King was stopped, Halliday decided to test out his new video camera and record the event. That video tape has made history!

In her testimony, Officer Melanie Singer, described most of the pursuit. She noted that the only thing King was wanted for at the time of the stop, was speeding. It was not until well after the stop did they have any idea as to what his name was because the car was not registered in his name.

Bernie Kamins was no longer sitting as the trial judge; Judge Stanley M. Weisberg had taken over the position. It was Judge Weisberg's critical decision to place the trial in neighboring Ventura County, instead of Alameda County.

the state of California.) Judge Bernie Kamins, the original trial judge, heard the motion and denied it. The State Court of Appeals reversed the trial judge and granted the motion, forcing the trial to be heard outside the county of Los Angeles. In its reasoning, the Court of Appeals cited the political climate in Los Angeles as the major factor for its decision.

When King finally stopped the car, he was ordered out by CHP Officer Tim Singer. Melanie Singer described King's actions as somewhat jovial as he got out. There were some orders King fully complied with, and others he only partially followed. He was finally laid prone to the ground. Melanie Singer approached him preparing to apply handcuffs. There were several LAPD units and one Los Angeles Unified School District Police unit on the scene in addition to the single CHP unit. One of the LAPD officers, Sgt. Stacey Koon, then told Melanie Singer, "Stand back, we'll handle this."

Most people in the legal profession agree that some of the most important decisions made at a trial are made during the pre-trial motions. In this case, that was definitely the case!

The majority of defense notions were denied by the trial court judge. For instance, motions to sever (which would allow each defendant to be tried in his own separate trial with separate juries), was denied.

PHI

Many felt Ventura County wanted nothing to do with the trial, or the publicity that went along with it. Their solution was to allow the trial to come to their county provided that L.A. County would supply its own support staff as well as a judge. In fact, they decided to give L.A. County the use of their newly built courthouse in Simi Valley.

This decision would insure that there would be no interruption in the Ventura County courts.

This decision by the Court of Appeals would eventually change the complexion of the entire trial.

Instead of the case being heard in Los Angeles (where the crime was alleged to have been committed), it would now be heard in some other county which had no interest in its outcome or, the effect it would have on Los Angeles.

SELECTION OF THE JURY Questionnaires approximately 40 pages long were given to some 250 prospective jurors. Of these 250 jurors — seven were Black. In the process of selecting the jury the prosecution used 27 of its 30 challenges to remove unwanted jurors. No Blacks were chosen to sit on the jury.

THE TRIAL Once the jury was impaneled, the trial was underway ... nearly one year to the day after the beating took place. The prosecution called on several witnesses to describe the events which surrounded (continued on page 24) The SphinxlSummer 1992

FINDING WEALTH IN THE PAST A Collectors Mentality down and enjoy what was served there. The tough societal lessons became inspiration for Lewis' grandparents to instill in him a strong sense of self-esteem, pride, and a thirst for history.

Jeff Ballou

At Mr. Steven Lewis' home in Northwest, Washington D.C., you are struck by unending piles of materials he calls memorabilia. This is not your ordinary collection of antiques, but a rather specialized museum of African-American artifacts.

Included in his collection is a copy of the Sphinx Magazine.

Since Mr. Lewis is not an Alpha Brother, I asked why it was part of his collection? He said, "Someone just felt it was something I should have."

Mr. Lewis' obsession with such items is heartfelt not only by laypersons — members of Alpha Phi Alpha have unknowingly picked up on this hobby. Where did this obsession start? Mr. Lewis' story is pretty much like many of our own.

Most kids grow up riding swings and crawling around jungle gyms.

Steven Lewis grew up in Indianapolis playing on a 1950's soda fountain, complete with chairs, in his grandparent's garage. It was a counter from a neighborhood People's Drug Store that was junking it in favor of renovation. It was also the same kind of lunch counter that denied African-Americans like Lewis' grandfather the right to sit The Sphinx/Summer 1992

"Ever since I was seven or eight years old, my parents and grandparents took me everywhere in search of antiques. My friends used to call me "Professor Gizmo," said Lewis. That's where and when young Steven Lewis got what he calls, "a collectors mentality."

"A collector's mentality is when you can appreciate what you're collecting." He ought to know. Walking into Lewis' home is like traveling through a time warp! It's a trip where one has to grasp tightly onto Lewis' "collectors mentality," for what lies within, stirs painful memories in African-American history. Examples include bug-eyed, bright red, balloon-lipped, Cheshire cat-smiling, asexual, kerchief-wearing mammy dolls; cereal boxes and other items that demean AfricanAmericans. Collecting these items didn't seem to bother Lewis; actually it rather excited his curiosity.

"When I saw Aunt Jemima, it didn't bother me, because when you understand what you're about ... you don't get angry," said Lewis.

But even his casual collecting went through some changes a couple of decades ago. "Then I moved to D.C. in 1974," said Mr. Lewis.

That's when and where he tasted culture shock. He had never seen so many African-Americans densely packed in places of influence. His migration to what many African-Americans affectionately call "Chocolate City" inspired him with a vision reminiscent of the "picture argument" scene between

Spike Lee and Danny Aiello in Lee's movie, "Do The Right Thing."

"I had been collecting European Art for sometime, but (after moving to D.C.) I wanted to put black people on my walls and this is what it's come to." Lewis points to his bedroom walls decked out in his own vibrant, original paintings.

He was like a kid in a candy store.

When Mr. Lewis moved to D.C, he met Malinda Saunders and Jeannette Carson, two of the preeminent scholar collectors of Black memorabilia. "They took me under their wings and I learned as much as possible," said Lewis.

Indeed he learned. For his collection does not only contain items which many might consider offensive. Over the years, he obtained such items as slave documents, photographs and non-stereotypical Majolica porcelain dolls (circa 1800). "I collect Black memorabilia because its fun, it's a hobby of mine," says Lewis. While living in D.C, he also met his business partner, Albert Blalock, who shared Mr. Lewis' passion for collecting Black memorabilia until his death in 1988.

Mr. Lewis' hobby has spurred associations, books, magazines, and exhibitions in which he had a pioneer role. Exhibition items may command anywhere from $25 to $1,300 for rare items. This includes in some cases, $40 for an original Aunt Jemima paper plate, or over $1000 for a 40-inch metal butler ashtray-holder. Even a mint condition 1988 Washington Redskins Wheaties Box can cost $250.00. "Black memorabilia aren't the only items exchanged at Page 23

a Black memorabilia fair," says Lewis.

Mr. Lewis' thirst for history and what he says is a tremendous explosion in the interest in Black memorabilia have combined to produce seminars which he leads upon request.

It doesn't take an expert to start or find a venue for your collectibles. With just a little imagination and initiative you can duplicate the efforts of Mr. Lewis. The following list may give you a few ideas on where to display your artifacts: • Black History programs • Cultural Fairs and Seminars • Schools • Your job • Fraternity meetings • Community and Recreation centers

How To Build A Valuable Collection 1 .First decide what to collect. Start with one kind of item (dolls, figurines or advertisements) or one style period (Art Deco) and then you can specialize in, bisque dolls or Art Deco style ornaments. Collect what you like to look at or feel... what gives you pleasure. You may wish to anticipate trends or develop new collecting fields and try to comer the market in those items.

2.Learn about your particular field. Take courses, read price guides and books and articles, visit shops and ask questions of the owner or dealer. Subscribe to general and specialized periodicals featuring your particular area of interest.

3.Visit shows, auctions, special events and museums where your specialty is featured.

4.Always note prices and pick up brochures, catalogs, announcements, etc. related to your area of interest.

5.Do not buy anything until you learn something about the field and values of the items in which you are interested.

6.Test your negotiating skills during this period.

7Join a collector's club or society where you can learn and swap or sell unwanted items.

8.Determine where you can best find your special/antiques or collectibles shops, auctions, flea markets, estate or tag sales, ads, personal contacts, private sales, etc.

9.Learn how to care for, preserve and display your antiques am collectibles for the enjoyment of your friends, relatives, visitors to your home and prospective buyers. lO.Leam what is happening, and keep up with what is going on in the marketplace so that you can realize the maximum value of your collection if and when you eventually decide to sell.

(Inside the R. K. Case cont.)

But none of the witnesses of the beating were as compelling as the 90-second video tape that played several times throughout the course of the trial.

There were many things that the D.A.'s office took into account in preparing and presenting this case for trial. Probably the most controversial decision was the one not to call Rodney King as a witness.

This was a surprising decision to many people! What better person to tell what happened than the victim himself?

The answer to that question, in the eyes of the prosecution, was the Page 24

• Social gatherings If you're a bit more imaginative, try setting up a trade or barter system among your friends. If all else fails, try attending one of the many antique conventions listed in Antiques & Collecting magazine.

It doesn't take a great deal to understand the significance of collecting Black memorabilia. One of the questions most often asked of Mr. Lewis is, what has he learned from his hobby? His reply, "It's important to know what these items (Black memorabilia) stood for so we won't do it again. Or else we will quickly see that what goes around, comes around."

as well as his recent contacts with the law. They would have tried to make the jury concentrate on King, instead of the actions of the police officers. Without Rodney King to focus on, they had to deal with the actions of the officers, and try to explain why these four officers did what they did.

This strategy did more than just give a clear picture to the jury that could be played over and over again. This strategy appeared to take away what would have undoubtedly been the defenses' trump card. The defense would have likely made Rodney King the focus of the entire trial. They would have put on witnesses to bring out his prior criminal record,

The goal of this strategy was to get the defense to explain the actions of the officers, not the first thirty seconds, but the final sixty seconds of the beating, when King obviously was of no threat to the large number of officers on the scene. (continued on page 50) The Sphinx/Summer 1992

EASTERN NOR WALK, CT Zeta Phi Lambda Chapter, of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., Southern Fairfield County in Connecticut, and the National March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation have received a grant of $89,500. The grant comes from the Department of Human Resources of Connecticut. It will be used toward the implementation of Project Alpha in the three high schools of Bridgeport, Connecticut.

The impetus for seeking the grant came from Bro. Larry Charles, a member of Zeta Phi Lambda Chapter and Executive Assistant to the Department of Human Resources of Connecticut. He made the brotherhood aware his department was interested in funding new initiatives in teen pregnancy prevention and urged the chapter to apply.

With the award, the Brotherhood will counsel high school males in Bridgeport. The young men will be given information and education to reduce their chances of becoming fathers during their teen years and lower the number of teenage pregnancies in that city.

A highlight of the Project Alpha Male Responsibility Program is the selection of students to participate in a regional leadership development conference weekend at Howard University. The students will have an opportunity to participate in decision making processes currently used in business and professional life.

Major objectives of the program are to: enhance knowledge, strengthen responsible decision making, and encourage sharing information with peers. Of the 4,122 recorded births to teens in Connecticut in 1988,533 were to teens in Bridgeport (compared to 123 in Stamford and

99 in Norwalk). Nineteen of the teen mothers in Bridgeport were 15 years old or younger. During the same year, approximately 5,342 abortions were recorded for teens in Connecticut.

Project Alpha-Bridgeport will be coordinated by Brother Otha N. Brown, Jr., of Norwalk. He currently serves as secretary of the Board of Trustees of the University of Connecticut, a post he has held since 1977. His expertise in teaching, leadership and community service made him the ideal candidate for the position. A retired counselor of the Stamford School System, Brown was the first Black person in Fairfield County to be elected to the State Legislature. He was also appointed chairman of Common Council for a decade and was elected Majority Leader, Council President, and Deputy Mayor of Norwalk.

Area Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity members, community leaders, and health care professionals will serve as role models and mentors to facilitate the teen pregnancy prevention program. Activities will include student participation through role playing, dialogue, and discussion.

But its not just our need to meet with each other which has motivated Delta Mu Lambda. This year, the brothers distributed food baskets to the disadvantaged during the Christmas holiday season, as well as worked with a young men's orphanage to act as role models. The chapter also purchased dress shirts for African-American male grammar school students participating in a national program known as "Project 2000."

ROANOKE, VIRGINIA Greetings from the Brothers of the Alpha Kappa Lambda Chapter to all of our Brothers.

Formed in 1928, in Roanoke, Virginia, the chapter's strength has fluctuated over the years. We may be small in number, but the chapter has proven its ability to support local initiatives, the national programs of the Fraternity (including Project Alpha and the Boy Scouts).

Alpha Kappa Lambda takes great pride in its Bowl for Kids Sake project and Project Alpha.

Project Alpha gives us the opportunity to discuss the problems of drugs and alcohol, and teenage pregnancy prevention with middle school and high school students.

The Brothers felt the Boy Scouts were a missing element in the development of young men in Roanoke. The chapter met with members of Asbury United Methodist Church in order to establish a Boy Scout troop. Our role in helping to establish a troop was explained to the Asbury United Methodist Men. They expressed their appreciation for our help in this endeavor ... and we have made this dream a reality.

Each month, we present the "Atta-Boy" award to a deserving brother for services beyond the call of duty. Brothers receiving this award this past year include: Bro. George Wilson, for his help in organizing a trip to take high school kids to Virginia State and North Carolina A&T Universities; Bro. Alonzo Deskins, for organizing several social functions; Bro. William Calloway, for his support as graduate advisor to Theta Iota; and Bro. John Neal Sr., for his help in arranging our chapter of the year campaign.

Alpha Kappa Lambda was saddened with the news that two of our most diligent Brothers would be leaving the area due to job transfers. This, however, is a part of personnel growth that each of us must encourage. A going away party was given in their honor.

Last, but not least, with the names of our "Jewels" in our hearts, we initiated two new brothers into Alpha Phi Alpha. The new brothers are Bro. N.L. Bishop Assistant Administrator of the Roanoke Methodist Home, and Bro. Dwight Cheeks a U.S. Forest Ranger. The new brothers are assets to Alpha Kappa Lambda and are holding the light of Alpha high.

Our chapter being named Virginia State Alumni Chapter of the year capped off what we believe was a very successful year. We are very proud of our accomplishments and look forward to a very successful year to come.

The scholarship awards are made possible by our annual Comedy Nite, which features the PSU community's most talented amateur comedians. The event awards a $200 first place prize.

Other beneficial projects included: the giving away of a Thanksgiving Basket to a needy family in the State College area, holding a Kid's Day program at a local church and conducting informational seminar an on police brutality in the Black community.

At the close of the semester, our audacious step team dazzled an audience with the "Grand Daddy" as they led the way to victory in the NPHC (National Pan Hellenic Council) Step Competition.

PENN STATE UNIVERSITY The Brothers of the Mighty Gamma Nu chapter (Perm State Univ.) would like to extend fraternal greetings to all men who reside in the "House of Alpha." Although it has been quite some time since we last reported news to the Sphinx, we most certainly haven't dimmed the "light of Alpha" by any means.

Our bi-annual study-a-thon was held during finals week and conducted in an atmosphere to assist both students and brothers at achieving the best possible grades on exams.

This past Spring, Gamma Nu sponsored a series of successful programs. We opened the year with a blood drive in memory of Bro. Martin Luther King, Jr. This drive produced over 100 pints of blood for needy individuals.

The "crossing" of three worthy gentlemen into Alphadom rounds out our list of accomplishments.

The new Brothers "Endangered Species" include Bro. Shawn Alsop, a junior Civil Engineering major from Virginia; Bro. Garry Jones, a senior Secondary Education major from Philadelphia; and Bro. Duane Carlisle, a graduate student and assistant track coach from Maryland.

Also that spring, we sponsored a speech competition which encompassed a variety of controversial topics such as, "Do Sanctions

We encourage you....brothers to continue to "march onward and upward toward the light." Until next time, peace my brothers.

UNIVERSITY OF BUFFALO "Don't call it a comeback..."

Delta Epsilon has been here for years (since "49, that is!) and we're still going strong. Since the Chapter's re-inception with the Golden Jewel Line of " 79, Delta Epsilon has initiated eleven lines of highly motivated and dedicated Brothers to continue the legacy of our founders. The turn of the decade has produced two sets of initiates into our most noble fraternity: "Fortitude" (Spring '90) consisted of Michael Gibbs, Jason Jones, Joseph Judes Louis, and Jack Brown III. "NUBIAN" (Spring '91) consisted of Ernest Merchant, Sean Clarke, Michael Nelson, Willis Saintil, Kelvin Turnbull, and Sean Gray. These "ice-cold" Brothers have, and will continue to uphold the true spirit of Alpha through their perseverance within Delta Epsilon.

Delta Epsilon continued its legacy with another successful "Golden Weekend" featuring the 6th Annual Moonlight Cruise" boat ride which sailed into the sunset of electrifying Lake Erie. The Brothers appreciated the presence and support of other Alpha Chapters in the New York state area as we continue maintain our "dear fraternal The Sphinx/Summer 1992

bond." The proceeds went to benefit the March of Dimes of Western New York.

The brothers of D.E. acknowledge the continuing struggle that is faced by our African-American Brothers and sisters, which gave rise to our theme for founder's week "The Struggle." This educational week was kicked off by a profound lecture by Bro. Donald Muhammed, who aptly articulated on African-American Struggles in the 20th Century. As the struggle is not limited to the boundaries of this country, a symposium was held on the film, "Mapantsula" the first Black South African AntiApartheid feature film. This educational week was concluded with a symposium on the film, "The Road to Brown: The Story of Segregation, Brown vs. Board of Education."

As scholarship is one of the aims of our dear fraternity, D.E. actively participated in the local broadcast of the National Negro College Fund Telethon. Our monetary contribution to the fund was only part of our action, as brothers were at the station in "full-effect" answering phones and taking pledges.

Once again, Delta Epsilon was proud to hold its 4th Annual "Alpha Cabaret Weekend" featuring a semi-formal entitled "Knights over Egypt: An Evening of Divine Elegance" - and divine it was! Held at the exquisite Samuel's Grand Manor, the Cabaret attracted people from all over. The night was filled with all types of entertainment - a jazz band, singing performances, African monologues, and a cultural fashion show. The weekend was concluded with an uplifting and slammin' party accompanied by a mesmerizing stepshow of extraordinary caliber.

Yes, those "soul-steppin"' Brothers of D.E. acknowledge the plight of Buffalo's homeless as the proceeds

went to benefit the Buffalo City Mission.

Delta Epsilon "joined forces" with the Gamma Iota Chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.(AKA) to hold our first annual "Skee-Phi" weekend. We were honored to have Brother Dr. Henry Taylor, Chairman of the Center of Applied Public Affairs at SUNY/Buffalo, deliver his message on how we, as African Americans, should use our degrees to benefit the Black community.

Also, Ms. Aloma Johnson, of AKA, delivered her message on the significance of the Black collegiate and their role on campus.

Delta Epsilon stresses that this time of change in our fraternity must not dim the "light of Alpha", as we must continue to uplift our divine race. The legacy and spirit of Delta Epsilon will never die.

-Sean Clarke VIRGINIA POLYTECHNIC UNIVERSITY The Brothers at the Theta Iota Chapter at Virginia Tech extend warm greetings to all the brothers of Alpha. They are also very proud to report that the light of Alpha is being held high in the Blacksburg area.

With leaps and bounds, the "Mighty T.I." chapter has positioned itself at the forefront of all service organizations at Virginia Tech. The school year was full of success for the T.I. Chapter.

The chapter began the school year with "Freshman Move-In Day", and helped many new freshman who needed help settling into their dorms. The Brothers cohosted the BEBASHI program, "Blacks Educating Blacks About Sexual Health Issues". The support was outstanding as over 100 Page 29

Am I My Brothers Keeper?

Building Brothers for the Future The likelihood of 11 year old Pierre Rhodes-Thomas finding a computer chess partner in his north Dallas neighborhood was near impossible says his mother Donyrelle Rhodes. To even find someone who would be interested in her inquisitive son left her few options.

You see Pierre's situation mirrors a growing statistic in America. He is being raised in a single family home. His mother has tried to lessen the burden in raising him alone.

She turned to Big Brothers/Big Sisters (BB/BSA) in Dallas for help.

Brother Dale Long, who is a veteran of BB/BSA was assigned as Pierre's Big Brother. Bro. Long a BB/BSA veteran had just completed a cycle with another youngster who had gone on to college.

For Bro. Long Pierre this was a new and unique challenge. He had never dealt with someone his age, who would need more than just weekend visits. Initially, Bro. Long acknowledges there was a bit of adjustment, but after two years of Big Brothering, Pierre is treated just like family - an inevitable goal for BB/BSA. Like Alpha Phi Alpha, BB/BSA is also in the business of positive youth development with a history dating back to the turn of the century. Adult volunteers provide guidance, support, and friendship which helps thousands of children from single-parent families become productive, responsible adults. The constant rise in the number of single-parent families and the escalating needs of young people in America, especially in minority communities, has prompted BB/BSA to develop an outreach campaign to increase service in ethnic communities. The Pass It On: Minority Mentorship The Sphinx/'Summer 1992

Campaign was developed in 1988 to increase the involvement of Black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native Americans as volunteers providing mentorship services to at-risk minority children through Big Brothers/Big Sisters programs.

lege level education. If we don't take the time to nurture our young brothers, we may begin to find it hard to replenish our ranks of college educated men.

The initiation of the ALPHA PHI ALPHA and BB/BSA relationship has grown since its inception.

Throughout Alphadom brothers have found innovative ways to realize this worthwhile program. In a sampling of some those programs which have been successful you'll find a common threads.

In 1990, BB/BSA was adopted by the brotherhood as a special project during the Miami General Convention. Since that time, many chapters have made a commitment to working with BB/BSA agencies across the country.

LEGACY Brother Raymond W. Cannon's contributions to Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity transcends the organization. As we look back at his life and many contributions, we are reminded of what our great founders told us to strive for, "be about the business of the fraternity." With this in mind, we have tried to fill in the blanks about Bro. Cannon. In the transcript of his last interview he describes his early life and his workings with the fraternity. Additionally, you will hear from one his closest associates, Bro. G. Bernard Brown, former Western Regional Vice President.

Bro. Cannon's maternal great grandfathers and paternal grandfather were white. One side of his white family came from Ireland, the other was of German Jewish ancestry. In each family the males ended up marrying African women - which at the time was against the law.

Circa 1860, Bro. Cannon's family believed there would be a great Civil War, and fled to the Upper Territory of Louisiana which would become Minnesota.

Each family settled in suburban areas of what we now know as Minneapolis, close to the town of Northfield. Bro. Cannon picks up the story: The Transcript: THE BEGINNING "We were a close-knit family.

My paternal grandfather was a German jew. I believe he owned my grandmother (my father's mother).

She was about the color of a Hershey chocolate bar and had long, wavy, glossy hair. She was an atPage 32

I Raymond W. Cannon 12th General President tractive woman ... and this Jewish man was very kind to her. My grandfather's real name was Isaac Levi. However, he was raised by his grandparents and assumed their last name, Cannon.

When Lincoln issued his first call for volunteers, my maternal grandfather joined the Union Army. As he was of African descent, they transferred him to the 18th Missouri, an all-Black military outfit. He served in the Union Army for the duration of the Civil War. He served at Gettysburg. After the war, he came back to Northfield. He was prominent in what they called the GAR (Grand Army of the Republic) at that time. Today, it would be similar to the American Legion or the Veterans of Foreign Wars. My grandmother belonged to the Auxiliary Unit.

They had a large family. There were nine children living in Minnesota( eight boys, my mother was the only girl)."

LIVING IN MINNESOTA "There never were more than four families of African descent in Northfield during this time. All their associations were among white people. My family became

very prominent in Northfield.

One of my uncles became Chief of the Fire Department, and that was something outstanding in an all white community. He was a painter by trade. Another uncle cast his lot with the local newspaper and over long years of service, he served as manager and part-time editor. He held every job in the paper, and he joined the National Guard. How he got in—I don't know. The National Guard at that time wasn't accepting people of African descent. Anyway, he became drum major of the National Guard Band."

There were actually two groups of Negroes around Minneapolis during the Reconstruction Period.

One group established the Pilgrim Baptist Church in St. Paul. "It was the first church in Minnesota with a congregation predominately of people of African descent. It's currently in its third location. It is a beautiful church with every facility for religious activities."

The one (group) my father was in made their way to St. Anthony Falls, which is now the east side of Minneapolis. St. Anthony Falls is where the largest flour mills in the world were built and developed.

There, he made his home.

There was a man of African descent who had acquired what they called a bus. They'd bring the congregation from St. Paul over to Minneapolis. They would preach, and then after the sermon (in my grandfather's home, which was situated in a large yard with a lot of stately oak trees), they would have a big dinner. Then the old folks would begin to tell of their experiences in slavery. It was then that my father found out how they fared in involuntary servitude. Some of

the stories were tragic; some of them were so comical they'd make a horse laugh, but the people were happy.

Editors Comments: The Cannon family was one that believed in education beyond high school. The decision was made that Bro. Cannon would attend the University of Minnesota. His field of study was pharmacy.

ALPHA PHI ALPHA Transcript: "I had met this man who had come into the laboratory once when I was a student. He talked to me, but I wasn't yet satisfied he was of our race. He was pleasant.

He was from Howard University, and he was taking pharmacy.

So, I told them that Alpha Phi Alpha was in a great movement to arrest the attention of'halting youth9 standing on the threshold of life looking for direction and guidance. We have reached the point now where we have stimulated their ambition up to that point where they will pursue education far enough so they'll fit into the scheme of life with greatest usefulness. I said that's the mission of Alpha Phi Alpha, to improve their minds and to produce leaders, and that's all I told them, but they liked it and it was truth."

Later I received a picture postcard from him ... you know, they used to be all the rage. On the picture side of the card was a man putting on the halter of a bulky mule.

The mule was backing up in the opposite direction, and it said on the card, 'Come out, meet the fellahs, have a good time, and be persuaded.'

So I took that card and I went to the meeting. When I arrived at the meeting I saw men who I knew of, but had never met before ... men from St. Paul. At that time there were 17 Negro students at the University of Minnesota, more than they'd ever had before.

In 1912 we had formed sort of a social club. We called it Phi Alpha The Sphinx/Summer 1992

reached a point where they wanted to be a chapter. One night on the second floor of a great big old house on First Avenue South, near 34th Street (where McCullough lived), C.C. Middleton from the University of Michigan set up a new chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha. He was thorough, and it was so good that the brothers had him out the following Sunday to St. Peter's Church to address the Minneapolis Sunday Forum. Half the people didn't know what a Greek letter society was, and he explained it all. It was very interesting and we became a new chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha, and I believe I probably was the youngest man there.

From then on, my fraternal endeavor began.

ings said he had heard of a fraternity. He wasn't certain, but he thought it was Alpha Phi Alpha.

He thought it would be nice for us to organize and get to be a chapter of a fraternity. So, they effected correspondence with Alpha Phi Alpha. We received word from the fraternity acknowledging our request. Finally, Pi Alpha Tau

FUNCTIONING ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL

"When World War I broke out, the chapter fell apart.

Many brothers, including myself, were called into service. It was decided I would keep all the chapter books and records in my home because I lived Minneapolis. The chapter felt they'd be safe with me.

When we returned, we got together again, and the chapter began holding meetings. Sometimes it would only be four or five of us.

The second year, I initiated my brother, Miles, and he eventually

Page 33

became president of Mu Chapter. I was never a chapter president.

We kept in touch with the general organization and had our first representation at the General Convention in Columbus, Ohio. You could have only two delegates then. I was a bright young man, fresh from World War I, and I wasn't a bit diplomatic. I'd speak my piece. I'd just as soon call somebody down if I saw they were doing wrong. So I jumped up in the middle of a meeting and says I'm going to file for junior delegate.

The older ones looked up at me with raised eyebrows. The secretary, who I think wanted to be a delegate himself, kind of looked at me in a spiteful way and didn't say anything. So the father of the chapter, James Louis Titus, the man who had sent me the postcard, was the senior delegate and I was the junior delegate.

We went to Columbus, Ohio, and I was like a little boy with his first pair of pants on. I was green as a gourd! I'd never been away from home over 45 miles before, and here I was like Alice in Wonderland. I was just looking around, and you know, it was quite a treat.

Just the trip was an education.

This was the fifth convention, and Jewels Murray and Kelly were there. They came to all the early conventions to see that the fellahs got the right work. Now, there was a long table (this was at the annual meeting, the final meeting, the banquet). The table reached from here over to that wall, and they were seated there and they had their repast ... and they served wine. I thought oh my goodness, they drink wine.

In my family, the word liquor was taboo. Here are these men drinking wine. I didn't know what to make of it at first. I just let it alone. They called on different ones to speak. I'm not certain if it Page 34

was the wine working on some of them or what, but we had more orators there than I'd ever seen since I'd been colored.

You know, they began to speak ... and I thought I've got to say something. I'd had no experience with public speaking. I just didn't know what to say. I was just trembling, you know, stage fright. Here are these guys, some of them had been to other big schools and they had a lot of experience; here I was away from home for the first time, not knowing how to act. About the only thing I knew was not to eat with my knife.

Finally, President Charles Garvin, the Fifth General President, called on me. The ideas just seemed to come to me just like that. (My mother said when I was little, you just open your mouth and God will put the words into it).

As I began, I remembered a recent situation in the Minnesota State Legislature. A bill had been introduced to prevent inter-racial marriages. Some Negroes in the state had married white women and it was a little too much for them (whites). I said there's nothing like that in Minnesota at the present time. I said now what did that mean? That meant that the white man wanted to see the virtue of the white woman protected, and that of the black woman left exposed. If a white man goes out and wrongs a white gal, he's got to marry her or support the children ... or support her maybe. I said, if a white man goes out and wrongs a colored woman, the law don't do anything to him. I said it was unfair, and two of the men of our chapter went over and helped to kill that bill in committee, you see.

They were both Alpha men, and that's the position that Alpha men took in Minnesota. It went over big with them. The father of the chapter got up and he closed by leading the Battle Hymn of the Republic.

When the smoke cleared, and the battle was over...it came time to elect officers. Jewel George B. Kelly got up and nominated me for General Vice President, and I was elected unanimously. I came back home and thought I had done a wonderful job."

THE SPHINX "I went to my second convention in Washington, DC in 1913 at Howard University. The General President, Henry Lake Dickason assigned different men to committees. While the committees were at work, he summoned me to the lectern. He says the fraternity needs a journal. I told him I thought it would be a good thing. I'm in favor of it. He said they had authorized a fraternity journal, and the journal would be in the office of the Vice President (who would serve as the editor). I was re-elected as Vice President.

I didn't know a darn thing about journalism, but I read up a little bit here and there. The first thing you know, we had a SPHINX. It was fifty cents a copy.

In the early days we couldn't get brothers to subscribe. If one brother had it he'd pass it around. I changed it so there wasn't anymore subscriptions. If you paid your tax, you got the SPHINX free. If you didn't pay it, you were an inactive member. This process gave the SPHINX circulation."

INFLUENCE "At the 7th convention in Chicago, I was serving my last term as Vice President. A little group of stalwarts came to me and wanted me to run for president. I said you know, I'll tell you, I don't think I know enough about the fraternity to be its president. I says, I've (continued on page 48) The Sphinx/Summer 1992

Sexual Health Issues". The support was outstanding as over 100 people learned the basics of relationships, safe sex, and AIDS. Some of our recurring projects include a weekly hypertension clinic which helps to detect high blood pressure, a disease that cripples the Black race. The chapter has also "adopted a highway", and clean this two and a half mile strip of highway monthly. Remembering their spiritual needs, they have hosted numerous church services in both Blacksburg and abroad. In the spirit of service, the prosperous chapter also donates money, as the need arises, to various charitable organizations. In the past, these groups have included the Montgomery County Chapter of the NAACP, the Nellie's Cave Project, the Louise Beeker Cancer Fund, Alpha Delta Pi's sorority's philanthropy, the Upward Bound Program, and various local churches.

We also had several individual achievements. Bro. DeWayne Stradford has effectively led the Black Greek Council as well as the Theta Iota Chapter at Va. Tech's 26,000 student campus. Bro. Whitney Keiller is a promising soccer player and leads Radford University's talented soccer team with his astonishing athletic abilities. Bro. Alafia Johnson is a peer group leader for young Black students, treasurer for Va. Tech's Black Student Alliance, and in 1991, he was runner up for Homecoming King at Virginia Tech. Through all this, he was accepted to the Dean's List for the fall semester. Congratulations to all these Brothers for a job well done.

Under the direction of Education Director, Robert Cobb, the chapter has been able to keep touch with the youth of Montgomery County.

By co-sponsoring the Upward The SphinxlSummer 1992

Bound Youth Program, T.I. has kept in line with Alpha's national "Go To High School, Go To College" program. This, along with the various other programs and exhibitions stepshows performed at local high schools, proves that the Theta Iota Chapter is a force among the youth in Montgomery County.

Interest in membership at the Mighty T.I. Chapter is at an all time high, and the chapter currently stands proud with 22 active brothers, each eager to devote himself to the uplift their great fraternity.

Recently, six new Brothers were initiated into the glory of Alphadom. Please join the Brothers in welcoming: Verron Brade, Marlon Gunter, J. Whitney Keiller, Jason Kelley, Deshaye Terry, and Travis Williamson.

Well known as champion steppers, the chapter has won the Overton R. Johnson Step Show two years running and with the help of a new step master, Carter Sensabaugh, plans to be the first fraternity to ever take first place for three years in a row.

As we have proven, the Theta Iota Chapter is continuing the legacy of excellence at Virginia Tech.

And continue to hold the light of Alpha high.

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK BINGHAMTON/ONEONTA Pi Beta Chapter (S.U.N.Y. Binghamton/Oneonta) had much success in the 91-92 year. The induction of eight new Brothers in Pi Beta Chapter marked the return of Black Greeks on campus. This resurgence has sparked new endeavors and challenges for the chapter.

The brothers worked hard as they participated in or sponsored several programs. They included: Project Alpha, Afro-Latin Week, Walk America, (4) food drives, (4) clothes drives, a lecture by Dr. Jawanzaa Kunjufu, a presentation of the Dr. Leonard Jeffries speech, and various other activities. The Brothers donated surplus funds to needy organizations. Our efforts did not go unnoticed; the chapter received the Broom County Urban League's Volunteer Award. With this feather in our cap, we were selected to represent the state at the regional in Maryland.

In addition to public service commitment brothers are involved in politics on campus, holding positions in the following: Black Student Union, Student Senate, Activities Council, Latin-American Student Union, Caribbean Student Association, National Society of Black Engineers, National Pan-Hellenic Council, and volunteer organizations.

The Binghamton based Chapter rounded out its year by inducting three brothers from nearby Oneonta, where no Black Greek letter organizations had existed. The Oneonta Brothers (Bobby Jackson, Patrick McGlashan, and King Gonzalez), are working hard with the Binghamton brothers to uphold the light of Alpha. The brothers are symbols of respect and will continue to strive for excellence.

UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND/BALTIMORE COUNTY Greetings Brothers, from Nu Kappa Chapter, located at the University of Maryland Baltimore County. We are proud to see that The Sphinx under the direction of our former chapter advisor Bro. Charles Robinson, III is informative, colorful, and interesting. In keeping with the ideals of ALPHA Page 35

PHI ALPHA, we are honored to be affiliated with our dynamic alumni chapter, Kappa Phi Lambda, in Columbia, Maryland.

Within the past year we have participated with Kappa Phi Lambda in their 17th Annual MLK Breakfast, founders day celebrations, and their Alpha Partnership which is based out of Oakland Mills High School in Columbia, Maryland. The Alpha Partnership is a role model/mentor program which gives insight to young men of color in their formative high school years. It is a wonderful program.

Nu Kappa Chapter has participated in numerous service projects which have aided the community.

In this academic year, we have worked with children at the Maryland Youth Resident Center, St. Vincents Home for abused children, and the nationwide "Into the Streets Program'yChristophers Place in Baltimore City.

The Brothers have co-sponsored the first annual Multi-cultural Job Fair at U.M.B.C, and several Brothers took part in the Regional Institute for Children Adolescents/RICA Career Day in which Bro. Harry Evans was the coordinator. Bro. Evans is our current chapter advisor, as well as Vice President of Kappa Phi Lambda.

The recent efforts of Nu Kappa Chapter have centered around Western Maryland College in Westminster Maryland. We have initiated Bro. James Martin into our beloved Fraternity. He is a junior at Western Maryland College, and he now brings his school under our charter along with Catonsville Community College. Bro. Martin is steadfast on establishing a chapter at Western Maryland College, and with the efforts of the Brothers from Nu Kappa and the rest of the Alpha community, I am sure that good things will come about.

Page 36

The Brothers from Nu Kappa Chapter are involved in all aspects of student government and the Black Student Union. Several Brothers are Resident Assistants.

Nu Kappa Chapter is functioning well and we welcome the insight from all of our Brothers, A-Phi. -Shawn A. Settles MONMOUTH COLLEGE Greetings from the brothers of Sigma Xi Chapter at Monmouth College, West Long Branch, New Jersey. This is our first report to appear in The Sphinx, and there are more to come.

Sigma Xi is a new chapter, it was established December 8, 1991.

We have eleven active Brothers, including four new initiates. Our brief history reads: On March 2, 1991, nine Brothers were initiated into the Brotherhood under the guidance of Zeta Epsilon Lambda (Red Bank) and Pi Xi (Stockton State) chapters. Since our induction, we have been very involved in the community.

Our first project was a "Go To High School, Go To College" style peer mentoring program. Initiated by our chapter and the Volunteer and Community Service Department, the program gives the Brothers a little brother and/or sister in the Long Branch Middle School to tutor, and advise. The purpose of our program is to offer "at-risk" students friendship, guidance, and a positive perspective on life. The program has expanded since its beginning in the 1991-92 school year.

Since then, we have been able to recruit from the college community, students that wish to participate.

We developed a curriculum of the responsibilities and duties of a mentor, and oversee any extracurricular activities between mentor

and mentee. In the future, we will again be responsible for recruiting as well as training of the mentors.

Although the LBMS program is continual and the biggest, it is not our only service project.

We have actively participated in the fraternity's national project.

We worked along with Zeta Epsilon Lambda Chapter in conducting Project Alpha. One of the projects we hope will come to fruition is the producing and filming a video of which will depict teenage pregnancy in the school environment.

We have given much of our resources back to the community.

We donated turkeys to Check-Mate Inc. during Thanksgiving, and $200.00 plus toys to the Head-start program during Christmas. We held a gospel concert during Black History Month which benefitted the United Negro College Fund, and a talent show in March in which the proceeds went to the Arthritis Foundation. We have also worked in conjunction, through the Pan-Hellenic Council and Inter-Fraternal Council, with the other fraternities and sororities on campus to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

Sigma Xi has a strong sense of community and sharing. We are very active in the community now, and will continue to be so in the future. We believe that the community is the foundation for the leaders of tomorrow, and without a strong support group for the community it will be unproductive.

The Alpha men of Sigma Xi not only stand out in the community, but also on campus where many of them hold positions in other organizations. Bro. Maurice Bell is the President of the African-American Student Union, and Treasurer of the Inter-Fraternal Council; Bro. William Moore is the Vice-President of the Student Government Association; Bro. Michael Hill is The Sphinx/Summer 1992

the Vice-President of the AfricanAmerican Student Union and sits on the Human Relations Council with Bro. Renwick Casimir; Bro. John Wingate, who won the Oratorical contest for the New Jersey Association of Alpha Phi Alpha Chapters, and placed second in the Eastern Regional competition, is on the Yearbook staff; and finally, Bro. Arthur Howard, first President of Sigma Xi Chapter, who received an award for Outstanding Service and Initiative from the African American Studies Department is a candidate for Outstanding Graduating Senior of the Year for 1992.

All these Alpha men in leadership positions reaffirms that we are First of all, Servants of all and Shall transcend all. Until next time, "06."

STATE UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK COLLEGEOSWEGO Greetings from Sigma Omicron Chapter to all our Brothers who are marching onward and upward toward the light. It was decided at the Board of Directors meeting in October 1991 that there was to be a newly founded chapter at The State University of New York College at Oswego whose name was to be Sigma Omicron Chapter. Since that notice of approval on November 6, 1991, Sigma Omicron chapter has be striving to meet the high standards that Alpha Phi Alpha represent; Manly Deeds, Scholarship, and Love for all mankind.

In the fall of 1991 Sigma Omicron Chapter, with the help of Bros. Anthony Henderson, Alton Roney, Rufus Mitchell, and Capt.

Rudy Burwell, seven men were initiated to start the beginning of a new chapter. From that time we have been busy planning community service and holding educational seminars to make our people

The SphinxlSummer 1992

aware of their surroundings and the world they live in.

Our first community service project was a "Book Sale" for the Penfield Library which took place in our Student Union. It was a great success. We a received community service awards for our dedication to helping out in the sale.

We also held our first educational program in which we had guest speakers from Syracuse, New York lecture our students on "Aids Its Origin and Future."

Sigma Omicron will not be resting on its laurels. We are planning to hold a founders day weekend celebration on campus. We are also planning to start up a big brother program in which we will go out into the community and spend time with our youths so that we can help them succeed as we, the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha have. We want to show them that they can achieve anything they choose as long as they show the will and put their minds to it.

We the members of Sigma Omicron Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc. will continue to focus on community service and leadership on our campus. We would also like to send warm wishes to all the brothers in the New York area, and remind them to always keep up the light.

MIDWESr INDIANAPOLIS, IN Greetings Brothers, from Iota Lambda. We've been very busy here in Indianapolis and we're happy to announce a brand new undergraduate chapter at Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI).

A total of 16 new Brothers were made. There were nine from IUPUI, six from DePauw University,

and one from Butler University.

Although DePauw is not in Indianapolis, they are still a part of the newly formed chapter until they reach that magic number of seven; at which time they will break off and work toward their own charter at DePauw. A continuous effort to start a chapter at IUPUI has been the work of Bro. Robert Bedford, State Director and President Bro. Edsel Thruston. Their hard work and persistence on this project has finally paid off.

Bro. Luther Hall has been elected to head the Reclamation Committee for I-Lam. There are many brothers here in our city that are not active and Bro. Hall (along with the entire chapter) is determined to pound the pavement to personally reach these brothers.

We encourage all other chapters to give attention to reclamation so that the Light of Alpha will shine even brighter.

For those of you planning to attend the Circle City Classic festivities in October, there will be two special events with you in mind.

On Friday October 2, 1992, I-Lam will be sponsoring "It's An Alpha Thang - Part 1," at the Madame C.J. Walker Urban Life Center.

Part 2 of this throw-down affair will take place Saturday evening at The West End. Both of these lovely establishments are Blackowned and run, and their services are second to none. This will be open to all brothers and their guests. But be prepared to party because we will be jamming "I-Lam Style." All proceeds from this event will go toward the Cramon J. Meyers Scholarship Fund. With Bros. Willie Jones and James Bullard heading this effort, it will definitely be great.

That's about it for now brothers.

I say "For now" because Iota Lambda is always out in the community working to keep our heritage alive and striving for the top.

Epsilon Chapter had another dedicated year of service to the community, scholarship, and Brotherhood in the name of Alpha. We began this year with a convention where we promised to strengthen our relationships as brothers in order to better attend to the business of Alpha. This proved very productive in service and seven times rewarding in Brotherhood.

The year ended with our annual Epsilon Ball, entitled "Eminent Expressions of Excellence", Bro. Judge Wahls was the keynote speaker and was very inspiring to all.

We look forward to another Fraternal year. We hope every Chapter can be represented in Anaheim at the National convention. Good luck to Brothers around the world in all your endeavors.

IOWA CITY, IOWA We, the brothers of Nu Chi Lambda Chapter send our most warm fraternal greetings and blessings to all of our brothers who have reached the "Light", as well as those who have since passed on beyond the "Light."

The current Brothers of Nu Chi Lambda are extremely elated and proud about the December 1991 reactivation of this chapter. Those loyal and dedicated brothers that pursued and developed this dream were Bros. D. Wesley Poythress, President; Richard James, Vice President; Oren Griffin, Treasurer; Terrance Watts, Secretary; Keith Hines, Parliamentarian; Oscar King and Kevin Williams. We Also had the faithful support of our brothers in Alpha Theta Chapter, University of Iowa and Zeta Kappa Lambda Chapter in Des Moines, Iowa.

Since we've been activated, Herbert King and Dwayne Thomas, two noble, true and courageous men, entered the "House of Alpha" through our doors and are making significant contributions to Alpha and Nu Chi Lambda already.

The SphinxlSummer 1992

Our first project, keeping in line with the tradition, goals and principles of Alpha, was our 1st Annual Leadership Development Conference for junior high and high school students held with the cooperation of the Iowa City Community School District.

The purpose of our efforts was to show students how to build their self-esteem through sessions dealing with the significance of their African-American history and on the characteristics and principles of leadership. The students, who represented grades 7-12, also had the opportunity for intellectual discussion among themselves about what they gained from the conference.

They also heard from two leaders in our community, Professors Anthony Chambers and Sharon Clayton, both faculty members in eastern Iowa universities, who delivered inspiring messages on what it

gence that has made this fraternity great. Peace and love to all our brothers in Alphadom.

ing for new roads to conquer. In February we were asked by a local church to talk about College and put on step-show for the youth of the congregation. After the Step Show, the brothers had a rap session on the importance of college, church and cultural awareness.

The audience had a host of questions that the brothers answered very tenaciously. The end result was a complete success.

Also during the Month of February, the Brothers held an Oratorical contest for the students on Campus and a Scholarship Party, in which the brothers presented a $450 scholarship to Mr. Torry Goodwater, a Sophomore at our University, for his G.P.A., and campus involvement. The brothers always believe in giving back to our own.

Please give Alpha Omicron Chapter a visit and learn what brotherhood is all about. Until the next time '06'!!!

TENNESSEE TECH UNIVERSITY The Brotiiers of Omicron Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., have reached new heights. Each brother is doing an outstanding job to make this chapter number one.

Academically, the brothers are always well represented by being on the Dean's List, President's List and the National Dean's List. We also have a brother representing us on our top ranked basketball team.

Bro. Diron Ford has the highest G.P.A. on the team.

Omicron Phi hosted a "Bail Bond" and raised $300 to support our Go-To-High School, Go-ToCollege Mentor Program. For Black History Month, Omicron Phi Chapter sponsored our 2nd Annual Gospel Extravaganza and a Civil Rights Lecture by Mr. Ernest C. Withers, Sr. an award-winning photojournalist who photographed many of the major events of the Civil Rights era.

As we began our quest for supremacy in the second half of the school year, the brothers were look-

SOUTH CAROLINA STATE UNIVERSITY Greetings from the Brothers of the Beta Delta Chapter. This has been a very busy and rewarding year for Beta Delta. We continue to maintain our close relationship with the community. Here at Beta Delta, we believe that the Community is an important element in the structure of the Fraternity. We began the year with our involvement at the Halloween Carnival where the Brothers participated in games and other activities with the neighborhood children. The Annual Halloween Party for underprivileged children was held at the Orangeburg Area Development Center.

On Halloween, we distributed candy to hospitalized children at Orangeburg Regency Hospital.

Our Annual Thanksgiving Food Drive gives boxes of food to families through DSS. Page 42

Another project we participate in is the Adopt-A-Child Christmas Project. This gives us a chance to illustrate the true meaning of Christmas. We try to show the area foster children someone cares about them by purchasing gifts for them.

During the month of February, we hosted mini-seminars for Black History month at Brookdale and Robert E. Howard Middle Schools.

Also during this month, we visited the Orangeburg Nursing Home where we distributed fruit, sang hymns, and played bingo with the residents. This was good exposure for the Brothers. We were exposed to years of wisdom and experience, as well as, receiving some motherly advice.

Several Brothers have devoted their free time to tutor and counsel young men at the local boys home.

This program is designed for those young men who may need an extra push to strive for excellence in life.

It has been very rewarding and beneficial, as well as, necessary to both the Brothers and the young men. We think that with the right cooperation, we will be able to make this much needed program work. This program is in conjunction with Project STAY, a mentoring program at elementary schools.

Beta Delta also belongs to the "Big Brother" Program. We escort youngsters to the various Lyceums, football and basketball games held on campus. Since drugs are very serious problem for this generation, Beta Delta realizes that it is our duty as Black men to promote a positive image to the youth of today. We have conducted Drug Abuse and Awareness seminars, informing them of the different types of drugs and the dangerous effect they can cause.

Beta Delta offers a scholarship to graduating high school males who plan to attend South Carolina State University the following fall.

Parallel to the scholarship, we have donated monies to the boy scouts for new uniforms, the March of Dimes and the Orangeburg Family Health Center to help purchase medicine for low income individuals.

Our scholastic efforts have not gone unnoticed on the SCSU campus. At this years Spring Convocation several brothers were recognized for their academic excellence. During this ceremony the University announced the awarding of to Bros. Curtis Cheeks, Robert Jackson, Thomas Hundley, Laddie Howard, Danny Wright, Cedric Dukes. Bro. Kwame Williams was inducted into Psi Chi National Honor Society in Psychology.

We were equally excited to learn Bro. Ricky Hill recently signed to play professional football. We are proud of Ricky and we wish him the best in his new career as a pro football player.

The highlight of the year was the addition of sixteen new members into the Fraternity. Beta Delta initiated the "Disciples of Osiris" into the land of Alpha. These Brothers were the largest group to be inducted in the Beta Delta Chapter in over twenty years. This is a fine group of men and we are looking forward to their participation in the chapter.

As the Chapter changes leadership, we are looking ahead to a new and prosperous year to come.

We will continue to uplift the Black man and keep the light of Alpha Shining.

NORTH CAROLINA CENTRAL UNIVERSITY The Brothers of the Gamma Beta chapter at North Carolina Central University extend fraternal greetings to all Brothers in the House of Alpha.

"Reaching Back 50 years - Continuing the Gamma Beta Tradition" was the theme of our chapter's recent 50th anniversary. The anniversary took place concurrently at NCCU and Durham's Holiday Inn West Hotel. More than 400 brothers from Gamma Beta, the Association of NC Alpha Men as well as neighboring chapters participated in the celebration. Some of the events included an Anniversary Dance and Social, a Pre-Homecoming Game Roundup and Post-Game Fellowship, a Founder's Reception (in honor of Gamma Beta's founders) and a Golden Anniversary Breakfast. Bro. Julius L. Chambers, Director/Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, Inc. and Gamma Beta initiate, spoke at the anniversary breakfast.

The anniversary would not have been possible if it were not for the pioneering efforts of "GB's" founders, Bros. Mack W. Aikens, II, Sylvester Carter, William P. Malone and Ward Parham. Yes, in the beginning there were four. Today, however, we are thirty-eight strong brothers, holding firmly the light of Alpha.

Through our commitment to service projects, the brothers are also holding high the ideals of Alpha.

Some of those service projects include our ongoing tutoring at the John Avery Boys' and Girls' Club, "Adopt A Highway " The Sphinx/Summer 1992

clean up program, Go to High School-Go to College, Project Alpha and "I Am My Brother's Keeper" High School support group.

"I Am My Brother's Keeper" is the brainchild of Bros. John Hargrove, Corey Horton and Nicholas King. This program specifically addresses the needs of the young African-American male, by providing positive role models.

May Goodwill always be the monarch of this house. Peace, from the brothers of "GB." ALABAMA STATE UNIVERSITY The Brothers of the Beta Upsilon Chapter would like to extend warm greetings to the members of our black and gold family. We are continuing to hold high the everlasting light of Alpha. Under the leadership of President Bro. Printes Duncan and Vice President Bro. Arron McNeil, as well as the dedication of the Brotherhood, Beta Upsilon has been dedicated to serving those in the community and has marched through the school year with many noteworthy events.

The academic year started off with the Brothers committed to helping those who've not been able

to help themselves. We kicked things off with canned food drive.

The proceeds from the project went to the Montgomery Area Food Bank. We also held two Clothing Drives, one during Thanksgiving and the other during Christmas.

The clothes collected went to an Alabama State University student whose family had lost everything when their house was destroyed by fire.

Believing the children are our future, the Brothers donated 100 dollars to a young girl so that she would be able to further her talents in a summer ballet program.

As we all know, it has been predicted that there will be an increase of black males using drugs, being killed or jailed at a very young age.

To shed some light on the problem, the Brothers held a program at the Bellingrath Junior High School called Rewriting The Statistics.

The program was headed under the leadership of Bro. Arron McNeil.

It targeted all black males in the 7th, 8th, and 9th grades and made them aware that they didn't have to fall into these categories and that they can rewrite the future.

In closing, the Brothers of Beta Upsilon will continue to hold high the light of Alpha where we hold true to the motto: "First of All, Servants of All, We Shall Transcend All".

To all of the Brothers of the Black and Gold who continually march "Onward and Upward toward the Light", The Brothers of Beta Upsilon Chapter, Alabama State University the Brothers of the "kick-it" on the yard after completing one of their many community Xi Eta Chapter of Alservice projects. pha Phi Alpha FraterPage 43

nity, Inc. extend their warmest wishes and desires for continued achievement of all your endeavors.

For this fraternal year the Brothers of Xi Eta continued to make strides in better interacting with the Winston-Salem community. The two key community related activities which the brothers were involved this year included working at the Samaritan Soup Kitchen (in Winston-Salem) and fostering better relations with Big Brothers/Big Sisters.

During the Easter break brothers worked the equivalent of one shift for two days (from 6pm til 7am,) at the Samaritan Soup Kitchen. Our work involved the preparation of dinner and breakfast for clients.

Our job also included the checking in of persons who stayed at the shelter, and immersing ourselves in the social interaction of the members of the shelter staff and residents.

During our Alpha Week (April 5th-1 lth), we sponsored a Field Day (April 1 lth) for all participants of our Big Brothers-Big Sisters Program and youths from area churches. Both activities reminded us of our duties and obligation to give back to the community of which we are a member.

Also during our Alpha Week programs sponsored activities to heighten the awareness of students concerning social issues (via sponsoring the Reverend Mendez as a forum guest speaker), and health issues (via our display day).

Greek letter organizations as well as the campus community at large.

Xi Eta and Theta Chi Fraternity cosponsored a forum dealing with race relations . Following the forum, a dinner was attended by members of both fraternities, concluding with a party. As with previous interactions with other organizations, attendance from the campus community was very encouraging.

tions of the campus, Mentor Day (with at-risk elementary students of the community), a Cultural Lecture/Dialogue (the impact of Black students on a predominately white campus), and a "Black and Gold Revue." These activities brought together the entire Black community of the campus to wrestle with issues confronting our community and to celebrate our many talents and gifts.

In addition to taking the lead in campus activities and immersing ourselves in the community, Brothers are continuing to take the lead in other areas. Be it in student government, leadership development programs, campus life (i.e., resident advisors), academic concerns (i.e., Dean's List, student advising, minority advising, etc.), brothers are making the name and presence of Alpha known.

Xi Phi also co-sponsored a Luncheon-Dialogue with the Faculty/Staff and students to discuss the issue of "New Racism". This discussion called us to consciousness and showed us that racism is still alive and doing well.

In concluding, we eagerly expect to utilize our experiences from the this to better prepare ourselves for next year. We pray and trust that all Brothers continue to progress and succeed in all community and social endeavors which you intend to undertake.

WINTHROP UNIVERSITY The Brothers of Xi Phi Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity extend greetings and best wishes to all Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Xi Phi has had both an exciting and a challenging year of service and brotherhood.

We also donated the proceeds from two of our parties to the Black Student Alliance and the Kemet School of Knowledge in support of their plans for future programming.

Under the strong leadership of our President, David Martin; the clear vision of our Advisor, Dr. Lee C. Bines; and the loyal support of our brothers; we brought to our campus and community programs which made great impact.

Xi Eta continued to take the initiative in fostering improved relations and interactions with other

During the Christmas Holidays, Xi Phi Chapter adopted a child and a senior citizen. This program afforded the brothers a chance to share part of the holidays with two individuals who would have otherwise been alone during the Christmas season.

Two other outstanding events for the year were the Black and Gold Pageant (choosing of the Alpha Queen and the awarding of scholarships to three young college ladies), and the co-sponsoring of Senior Appreciation Day to 1992 high school and college seniors.

Our year has been both challenging and exciting. We are proud to be part of a fraternity that is "First of all, Servant of all and transcends all."

GRAMBLING STATE UNIVERSITY From the campus of Grambling State University, the members of the Delta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. extend cheerful greetings to all of our brothers! The 1991-92 school year is proved to be a positive one for us The Sphinx/Summer 1992

as we embark upon our 40th anniversary.

We, at the Delta Sigma Chapter, are presently a growing chapter with a membership of fifty-six brothers.

In addition, a number of Brothers hold positions in various campus organizations. The most notable of these positions are Senior Class President and Student Government Association President, held by Bros. Pierre Bingamen and Alsan Bellard Jr., respectfully.

During the past fall semester the brothers here at the Delta Sigma Chapter have demonstrated their dedication to manly deeds when it came to community projects. Under the direction of our chapter President, Bro. Darryl Luther, we managed to accomplish at least two civic projects per week.

In our Extended Day program we serve as tutorial assistants for the Grambling High School extended day students. We also act as role models and peer counselors to the students at Grambling High School. Through these goals we hope to inspire young minds to become the best that they can be.

Bro. Douglas Luke is the driving force behind this successful program.

Once each semester we have our Adopt a Highway program. This program deals with cleaning and keeping up with a section of the highway assigned to the fraternity.

We also take time out and visit our fraternity grandmother to help out with different chores around her house. This project brings out both the spirit and character within the brothers of our chapter.

Our Big Brother/Little Brother program is headed under the guidance of Bro. Luther. This program is designed to share time with young men (called the little brothers) bowling, taking them to football games, having one-on-one talks, and many other activities.

Our Campus Clean up program is a program geared toward the student body in taking pride in our campus. This is done by inspiring students through posters, and participation from the Brothers to be involved in keeping our school clean.

Our Book Drive program is headed by Bro. Shawn Mitchell.

The Book Drive program is designed to give text books to students in area high schools who need them.

For the third consecutive year our Chapter has won the Grambling State University Step Show in convincing fashion. The step

The Sphinx/Summer 1992

team has also won various shows throughout the state and will be moving onward to the regional convention held in Dallas, Texas this April. The Delta Sigma Chapter has won the following awards for step shows at: University of Southern Louisiana - 1st place; Louisiana Tech/NAACP - 2nd place; Northeast Louisiana University 1st place; Bayou Classic Step Show - 1st place.

Last January, the State Convention came and went like a roaring lion. Twenty 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. The following awards were won during the state convention: Step Team - first place, Miss Black and Gold - two years running, College Brother of the Year, and the E.D. Morial Leadership Award.

In conclusion, the Delta Sigma Chapter will always continue to strive for the utmost excellence in all endeavors of college life, and shall always maintain extreme dedication to the goals and visions established by the Jewels years ago.

EL PASO, TEXAS Theta Delta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternitycan measure many sucesses as we continue to live up the ideals of the Fraternity. During the year, Project Alpha was a huge success, and our Las Vegas Night activities provided funds for a ten thousand ($10,000) dollar endowment at the University of Texas at El Paso. The endowment will be used to assist primarily Black male students in need of financial assistance.

Theta Delta Lambda's Las Vegas Night provided us with the Page 45

exposure necessary to assist the local school systems with graduation night programs. Each year, Theta Delta Lambda provides the manpower and equipment to help keep graduating seniors of eight local high schools off the street, free of drugs and alcohol.

The chapter sponsored its Annual Founders Day in December.

Founders Day activities included a banquet with Bro. Walter H. Criner, Sr., owner of CrinerDaniels Incorporated, as guest speaker. The Brothers enjoyed a Saturday night chapter social, and worshipped at Shiloh Baptist Church on Sunday.

The Alpha man of the Year Award was presented to Brother Ben Long by Bro. Chester Jordon, president. Brothers George Ellis, Peter Grammer, Robert Simms, Columbus Floyd and Marvin Brotherton, Sr. were recognized by the president for exceptional service during 1991.

Our Founders Day activities made us reflect on our past and rededicate ourselves for the task facing us in 1992.

SAM HOUSTON STATE UNIVERSITY The brothers of Theta Mu Chapter would like to extend a heartfelt greeting to all the brothers worldwide who are constantly holding the light high.

The Brothers of Theta Mu have enjoyed one of their most successful years to date. The brothers attained many goals, the biggest goal being the First Annual Alpha Phi Alpha Black Student Festival. The festival was the first of its kind to be held at Sam Houston State University. The festival was a weekend of fun, food, entertainment, and seminars. An essay contest was sponsored at a local high school in conjunction with the festival. The Brothers were able to generate support from the local vendors, community organizations, and media, as well as the Black Collegian. All proceeds were used to establish the Harry Hughes Scholarship Fund. The scholarship is named for one of the deceased founders of the chapter, and is one of few minority based scholarships offered thorough the university.

Theta Mu also had the honor of kicking off the Black Collegian's No Drugs on the Yard program (here at Sam Houston) during the

festival.

The accomplishment the brothers hold dearest to their heart is the implementation of the "Challenge Program." The program was instituted by Brother Ted Irving with the help of the local school district.

The "Challenge Program" gives brothers (as well as other students) the chance to serve as tutors and mentors to children who are otherwise overlooked by the local school system.

The brothers sponsored the annual Martin Luther King Day march, rally, and celebration. Theta Mu was instrumental in helping the student government arrange and hold a special election to make Martin Luther King Day a campus holiday. The brothers also sponsored the annual NAACP Anti-racism march and picnic.

Bro. Isaiah Payne was voted homecoming king, Bro. Raphael Davis anchored and directed the campus television news (for which he received several awards), and Bro. Ted Irving directed and produced several shows for campus T.V. Brothers currently hold seats in many campus organizations.

They include: President of NAACP, the Black History Committee, Honor Society, Program Council, Chair of the Education Caucus, Student Government, as well as President, Vice-President, and the Parliamentarian of the Black Greek Council (to name a few).

As you can see, Theta Mu is working hard everyday to strengthen the community and keep Alpha Phi Alpha the number one fraternity in the World!....06.

On Thursday, May 7, 1992, in reaction to the Rodney King verThe Sphinx/Summer 1992

diet unrest Bro. Gregory G. French, Southern California District Director, requested an emergency meeting with the presidents from 14 alumni and college chapters along with other concerned brothers. This meeting was called in order to develop an "Action Plan" to rebuild South Central Los Angeles which had been devastated by rioting.

The meeting allowed all in attendance to hear from Fraternity Brothers who have agreed to make the personal sacrifice to further enhance Alpha Phi Alpha's level of community support in this crisis.

Bro. Michael Carter, Assistant District Prosecutor (Rodney King Criminal Case), addressed the Brotherhood. We also heard from Alpha brothers in the areas of construction, banking, politics and urban development. Each of these brothers provided information that will be included in the Fraternity's Rebuild South Central Los Angeles "Action Plan".

A Committee of fifteen 15 Brothers was established to take the recommendations from both the "Emergency Meeting" and any information received from the Southern California District Chapters, and prepare the final draft of the Rebuild South Central Los Angeles "Action Plan". The Committee's goals are to pool the financial, professional and human resources of all the Members of the Southern California District of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. This "Action Plan" was presented to Bro. Cecil "Chip" Murray, Pastor of First AME Church.

Bro. Murray co-chaired a town meeting of seven hundred (700) Alpha men where its contents were divulged. The media, city officials, Korean and Asian Leaders and a host of other public figures were invited to attend.

Brothers, leadership cost! Now, we must begin to find out how The Sphinx/Summer 1992

much .... Simply put, we must always be mindful of what the fraternity represents - "First of all, Servants of all, We shall transcend all!" Thus, in order to recreate the spirit of the Jewels of our beloved Fraternity, and in memory of Brother Raymond W. Cannon, 12th General President of Alpha Phi Alpha, we must respond immediately to the needs of a community crying out for strong and innovative African-American male leadership.

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA The activities of the Zeta Sigma Lambda Chapter during calendar year 1991 reflect the consistent dedication of its members in enriching our fraternal spirit and committing our resources to community service in the African-American community.

The chapter's education program is centered around its efforts to identify African-American male high school students with high grade point averages, and develop support programs designed to ensure that these students do not become victims to adverse peer and environmental pressures existing in the school and surrounding neighborhoods. This program is known as the chapter's Continuing Academic Excellence Program (CAEP).

This program is geared toward African-American males in grades nine through twelve who have achieved and maintained a 3.0 GPA or better during their high school experience. Students are first eligible for the program upon entering the ninth grade with a 3.0 GPA or above in their last year of middle school. For acceptance in the program, the student, his parents) or guardian, and the chapter must execute an agreement evidencing the commitment to the

principles of the program. The Brothers must be granted authority for Brothers to review transcripts and discuss the student's school performance with school officials and parents.

The student group is comprised of young men with varied interests, talents and hobbies. Most are involved in a number of extra-curricular activities: athletics, band, jazz, arts, and a budding entrepreneurs program. The unique factor that each young man shares with his peers is recognition of his continued high academic standing and success as a student. As chapter brothers serve as role models for them, the group itself is serving as a support group to facilitate their individual continued achievement and success. The statement the group makes to itself is that it is "OK" to be smart and achievementoriented, despite the adverse peer pressure around them.

Thirty-seven students participated in the program at Morse High School. The CAEP project consists of forty-three students attending Morse High School and twenty-three students attending Lincoln Preparatory High School.

Throughout the school year, the chapter provided U.S. Savings Bonds to the students having the highest GPA in each grade category to facilitate incentive for maintaining high standards.

This is the fifth year Zeta Sigma Lambda Chapter has sponsored the CAEP at Morse High School in Southeast San Diego, and the third year of expansion of the program to include similar students other high schools at the urging of its principal.

The CAEP project is spearheaded by the Director of Educational Activities, Bro. Pay ton Cook, and his committee of dedicated Brothers.H

(Legacy cont.) already got my degree and now I've got to get out and establish myself, so I'm not a candidate for reelection. They responded, Oh you can't do that.' I says, well I got to do it. I said there are other men here that I think are more proficient than I am. They are men that are traveled, have contact with more than one organization, and they know the ropes. This group appeared concerned about a brother who had arrived early at the convention and was working feverishly to get the votes. The fellahs didn't seem to know much about him. He was making headway.

Some of the older members came to me and said, well who can we get for president if you won't run. I said if you're looking for a president, one of the founders is here.

Who knows more about Alpha than he does.'Well which founder is it?'

I said,'It's Callis.' They asked,'Where is he?' I says,'He's sitting over there next to the wall.'

He had come in quietly and never took any steps to identify himself. That's the way he was, and it was that attitude drew people to him. I said, 'Callis is sitting over there, why not nominate him for president.' 'Well you think he'd...you think he'd accept it?' I said, T don't know, go on over and ask him.' They turned to me and said, 'Will you go over and ask ?' I said, 'Yes.' I went over to him and said hello. I told him the fraternity needed him. I said we are at a peculiar position here somewhat like at a crossroads, or a fork in the road. I told him the convention really doesn't know which one to take. I said there's a sentiment in here to nominate you; would you accept?

Callis just sat there and stared at me. He looked at me like he was looking a hole through me. He talked slowly and in a halting voice, and I thought well...So fiPage 48

nally he says quietly, 'I'll accept.'

Just like that.

So I went back and I told the fellahs. I said, he would accept. I said now we've got to get busy. They said, 'Well, will you nominate him?' (I thought, well why don't these guys do something too?) I said, 'Yes, I'll nominate him.'

When the time came, I nominated Callis and he went over big. He's the only founder that was ever president.

He is the one, when they were drafting the constitution, who insisted on something to be put in the constitution about civil rights. The clause in the preamble of the General Constitution to destroy all prejudices is attributed to him, and is the foundation on which we stood in inaugurating our public program."

Editors Comment: Bro. Cannon would eventually become the 12th General President When his term as president ended, he help create the office of Director of Educational Activities. One of his first initiatives was the "Go-to-High, Go-to-College" campaign. As the years passed, he became a stalwart within the Fraternity. Each new General President turned to him for guidance.

Near the end, one of his closest confidants and traveling companion was Bro. G. Bernard Brown, Past Western Regional Vice President. Here are some of his memories.

"So when a great man dies, For years beyond his kin, The light he leaves behind him, Will light the path of men."

We all attest to the fact that our Brother Raymond Wilford Cannon

was a great man. His light will illumine the path of many great men as they enter Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated and read our history book. He is referenced 41 times in the 14th printing our history book of 1981.

Some examples are: -Charter member of Mu Chapter on April 12,1912.

-Attended his first National Convention on Dec. 26, 1912 at Kappa Chapter, and was elected General Vice President.

-Elected first Editor-in-Chief-of the Sphinx and published the first issue in Feb., 1914.

-Elected Second Vice President in 1922, and General President in 1924 (the first of four terms).

-As an orator non-parallel, he stated in his acceptance speech that he realized the great responsibility with which he had been charged. He said that he wished to assure all brothers that he would do all in his power "to preserve and uphold the traditions, laws, and purposes of Alpha Phi Alpha."

And said he, "/ shall think only in terms of its best interest, future welfare, and progress." He urged the brothers to remember that "this paragon of organization was representative of the greatest constructive effort to uplift and inspire. Rejoice and congratulate yourselves that you are part of this great institution, which long ago saw fit to dedicate its cause and its mission to the betterment and uplift of our race and to the service of mankind. " (His vision of leadership remains so very true today.)

-Authorized the printing of our history in 1927.

-Elected Director of Education in 1927 and conducted the 12th annual "Go-to-High School, Go-toCollege" program in 35 states and the District of Columbia. The slogan was "Help Us to Help Others."

-In 1931, he announced that he would not be a candidate for re-election. His parting words The Sphinx/Summer 1992

were, "It has been a pleasure to have served, to have worked with Alpha from the early days of struggling in the face of many adversities. I have helped to build, helped to defend the fraternity before the public, helped in the solutions of the problems of the undergraduates, and it affords me extreme pleasure to know that it was my recommendation which led to the publishing of our history. "

awestruck by the gentleness, the power, the humor of the man, and the caring and concern he had for mankind.

One can read his curriculum vitae and note the involvement and power of the man as he served well in his many different organizations and clubs: the American Bar Asso-

He was a humorous and fun loving man. Brother Cannon had a subtle sense of humor. He could "crack" on you, and if you weren't attentive and alert, you wouldn't know if he was for real or not. I remember him telling me about a college brother who ran up to him as he was walking through the hotel at the General Convention in San Francisco and said, "Brother Cannon, I just LOVE you so much!" Brother Cannon said that he had to step back and see just where this young brother was coming from.

"Well, I'll tell you, there's nothThose references! ing more refreshing than to see an do not reflect the honest Negro leader. That's my greatness of the "real" man...the perposition.

He obtained his Juris Doctorate degree from the now William Mitchell College of Law in 1930. He married Rachel L. James of Minneapolis—a former high school science teacher.

His reminisces of the incidents of discrimination against the Brothers at the University of Kansas, and his refusal of an appointment to the draft board by Gov. Youngdahl of Minnesota because of discrimination against Blacks, led to major integration victories.

Also, as we were flying to New York for him to speak at Zeta Phi Lambda's Founders' Day Program, he was telling me about the first time that he flew. It had been an emergency situation where he had to get home immediately because his father had taken seriously ill. After a moment of reflecting and still in quite a pensive mood, out of the clear blue he said, "You know, I have always revered flying with the same respect and prominence as poison - one drop and it will kill you."

He was a proud man. He was always properly attired and very concerned about his looks. He never wanted people to see him hurt. He did not like to depend on his cane as he made excuses about a fall or a bad knee.

(continued on the next page) Page 49

(Legacy cont.)

He was humble and appreciative.

He attentively watched videos of his speeches and critiqued them for improvement and accuracy. He always seemed amazed at watching himself on TV, as if he really couldn't believe the invention.

He always complimented you, and thanked you for the smallest gestures or minute detail.

He would ask my opinion of how he performed; if it was appropriate, if it was germaine, or if it was TOO long. He often quipped that an event was "the greatest since he had been colored"— and that's a LONG time.

He gave of himself willingly and freely. He gave his professional services free whenever people could not afford them.

He was very attentive and loving to his wife, Rachel. No matter where he went or how long he was gone, he always brought her something home—a flower, gift, candy, something. She, in turn always gave him something when he left.

Once she sneaked a piece of chocolate candy in his pocket that had melted before he discovered it.

He was very lonely when she had to move to Minnesota due to (Inside the R. K. Case cont.)

This was something that many people felt the defense failed to do!

The only question left is, "Why did the verdict turn out the way that it did?"

illness. That, to me, was the beginning of the end.

He always had time for the Brothers of Alpha. He welcomed you into his home and always had repast to share. He willingly responded affirmatively to any call to speak. Brevity of speech was not one of his attributes. He shared his wisdom and always told his stories while adding something new. He had a lot to say and would take the time to say it regardless of any time schedule.

He spoke out and acted on his beliefs. He was dogmatic in following through on his given word. For he believed a man is only as good as his word.

He believed that you are a product of your environment. So he challenged brothers to nurture and give praise - to encourage someone - to mentor someone - to help someone - to be positive, for no one likes a grump bump.

He was a man of determination.

He had the vision necessary for leadership. He had a goal to reach 100 years old - and he DID! When he did, I saw the smile of victory beam from his face. He wanted so much to attend the birthday party hosted by his chapter, Beta Psi Lambda, but couldn't due to a fall that had hospitalized him. I then

saw a sigh of relief, and the will to live leave him, for he had attained his most cherished goal.

As he lay on his dying bed, he said to tell the Brothers to "Be happy and don't be sad for I have lived a LONG and GOOD life."

He was truly a balanced man, a man of great tradition.

I hope these reflections will give you some insight into the power, the humor, the care and concern for mankind—the personal man. If they did, I am happy.

As he did on the conclusion of every speech, I would be remiss if I did not conclude these reflections with his favorite poem.

It ain 't the individual, Nor the army as a whole.

But the everlasting teamwork, Of every blooming soul.

So a good thing to remember, But a better thing to do.

You work with the construction gang, And not the wrecking crew.

Assistance in compiling the materials for the Bro. Cannon article came from Bros. Gregory French and G. Bernard Brown. Editors: Bros. Charles F. Robinson, III and Robert T. Cloud.

Perhaps, the logic went something like this. A Black man runs from the police; he must have done something wrong. The police told him to do certain things, he did not do them; they had to use force to get him to do as they said. Thus, the officers were justified in doing what they needed to do. That being, beat Mr. King.

The Sphinx/Summer 1992

(Inside R. King Case cont.)

Most of the jurors from Simi Valley probably don't know what it's like to be stopped by the police, ordered from your car, and told to sit on the curb while your car is being search. It is more likely that their contacts with law enforcement are, at worst, a slight inconvenience on their way to work because of a missing tail light. With this view, it is easy to see why one juror said that anything Rodney King got, he must have brought on himself.

AFTERMATH Two days of rioting made me feel paralyzed. A phone call from Brother Greg French enabled me to get off of the sidelines. He had called a meeting of 30 Alpha Brothers to discuss the events of the riots. How we as an organization could help rebuild South Central (TGAM cont.) at Winston-Salem State University (WSSU) in NC, proves you can mix academics, leadership and community service.

Brother Cates, an Honor Student and a member of the WSSU'S Deans list, was recently recognized for his contributions to Human Relations by the St. Paul United Methodist Church in Winston-Salem, NC. When he's not hitting the books, he can be found at the newly formed Winston-Salem Futuristic Math & Computer Science Institute. He serves as an instructor/counselor at the Institute which develops the interest and skills of 6th, 7th and 8th graders who have been labeled "at-risk."

His on campus activities include serving on the Campus All Star Challenge Team which competed against other Historically Black Universities and Colleges in a quiz The Sphinx/Summer 1992

and allow African-Americans an opportunity to cash in on the resurrection efforts. During this meeting, I explained the events of the trial and my perception of why this occurred.

One of the results of this meeting was the development of a ten point plan. The plan was to address areas where institutions such as banks and insurance companies had failed to give adequate opportunities to minorities. Additionally, we tried to address areas where police could deal with social problems in our community without the need for violence. Immediately following this meeting we went to our neighborhoods, where there used to be thriving businesses, and began the process of cleaning up.

Much time has passed since our clean up efforts, but little rebuilding has occurred. People are skeptical; "Will South Central comebowl sponsored by American Honda Motor Company, Inc. The Student Government Association (SGA), Alpha Phi Alpha, Black History Month planning committee, and WSSU Jazz Ensem-ible (trumpeter/soloist), have all recognized Brother Cates for outstanding service. In the Student Government Association he served as Secretary of Judicial Affairs, and won 2nd place in the Martin Luther King, Jr. Oratorical Contest. I STICKING IT OUT IN URBAN EDUCATION Bro. Johnny Brinson, an active member of Xi Alpha Lambda and ai distinguish educator for sixteen years, believes education and continuity are the key to success for our youth today. Brother Brinson, a third grade teacher at Richardson Elementary School, Washington, D.C. was recently featured in the

back?" The initial hoopla to rebuild brought some in the business community back to this neighborhood which had been overlooked. Much of that effort appeared to be token rebuilding. It has diminished.

Quite honestly the glow has gone.

The need to rebuild is being campaigned by the few. It is frustrating to know so much needs to be done and so little has changed.

I challenge my Alpha Brothers throughout Alphadom not to let the memory of the LA riots be one of remorse, despair, and frustration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but rather one of rejuvenation, anticipation and a vision of what we can be. Riots, like the one in LA, boil under the surface of every urban center, rural community, and neighborhood where frustration is taken for granted. I -Michael Carter

Washington Post for deciding to remain with his students until they reach the sixth grade. The headline read "In D.C, Classroom Familiarity Breeds Success." At the end of the first grade, Brother Brinson said to his principal, Marlene Guy, I would like to keep these young people until they reach the sixth grade. So she and Brother Brinson developed a comprehensive program.

The purpose of the experiment is to provide continuity and an enduring role model for youngsters whose lives outside school are, at best, uncertain.

In Brother Brinson's classroom the experiment seems to be working. His students lead other Richardson classes in national test scores last spring and placed above their grade level in reading, spelling, and language skills. Their cumulative test score was 3.0, (continued on page 59) Page 51

(Commentary cont.)

Despite recent modifications in its policy on Black scholarships, the Bush administration remains wedded to the proposition that scholarship programs based on race or national origin are illegal and must be abandoned if institutions offering such scholarships wish to continue to qualify for federal assistance. As Alpha men, we must communicate to the Bush administration that enforcement of this policy in any form is unacceptable. We must remind the administrators of the Office of Education that Blacks have historically been the victims, rather than the beneficiaries of funding policies in higher education.

sities were established under the Morill Act, which provided for the construction of land grant institutions to extend the benefits of public education primarily to the children of poor white farmers. Now that the pendulum of opportunity has begun to slowly swing in the direction of the Black community, efforts are being made to use the instrument of civil rights legislation to undercut Black higher educational enrollment and achievement.

The political motivation for this high visibility campaign to thwart Black educational advancement is clear: the Bush administration is intent on preserving its political base in the white community by catering to white fears that white interests will be stifled by Black educational success. In effect, the Willie Horton strategy has been resurrected and used as a battering ram to drive a critical political wedge between Black and white voters.

For decades Black tax payers watched while public monies were used to finance the education of students enrolled at lily white state universities. Many of these univer-

There is no question that the attack on race based scholarships is completely unjustified. For most Black students, the goal of a college education has meant a frantic

Black educational achievement posed an imminent threat to its future social and economic advancement.

Big Brother, in addition to (supporting the agency's fund raising events.

Undergraduate Alpha chapters at Tennessee State and Fisk Universities have included BB/BSA agencies as part of their service outreach. This is the second year that the Alphas of Tennessee State have hosted an Alpha Buddy Retreat for young boys from the BB/BSA program. The day long event is an enlightening opportunity for AfricanAmerican boys to be exposed to college life, positive AfricanAmerican role models and higher education. The event is held in conjunction with the chapter's Go To High School,Go To College program. The Alphas also host a Super Bowl event for the youngsters.

Page 52

The Alphas of Fisk University host an Alpha Buddies Day during Black History Month, to expose the youngsters to higher education, their history and to hear celebrated speakers.

Through the efforts of Alpha Bro. Long, the chapter in North Dallas County has also increased its efforts in working with BB/BSA of Metro Dallas. There are a number of Alphas serving as Big Brothers and participating in field trips with the youth. Bro. Long was instrumental in establishing BB/BSA as a national special project of the Fraternity, in addition to being a positive influence in the lives of four boys over the course of 18 years as a Big Brother himself.

Two of Bro. Long's Little Brothers are currently attending college, another is gainfully employed. His

search for financial aid. Minority scholarships have become the critical ingredients in a social matrix that has given hope and opportunity to several generations of talented Black students. The investment has been relatively minuscule. Both in terms of the larger share of funds going to white students, and in terms of the returns reaped by the nation as a whole from the magnificent work performed by a vast array of Black professionals.

It would be tragic if the hopes and dreams of future generations of Black students were sacrificed on the altar of conservative political opportunism. The founders of our Fraternity were brave men who confronted the challenges of their time with determination and strength. We are the keepers of their tradition. The legacy we have inherited must encompass a commitment to make government support for Black student scholarships an enduring, unassailable, irreversible priority for American society . 1

current Little Brother is progressing well in elementary school.

Bro. Long has also approached the agency about involving some of the youngsters in "Project Alpha".

Too often the responsibility of rearing young Black boys falls to those other than African-American men. However, it is our responsibility as African-American men in part, if not fully, to take care of our own. No one could have a more vested interest in the development of positive, confident, strong Black men than Black men themselves.

The only way we will be able to have a positive impact on some of the problems facing the Black male community is by helping each other.
