After the "sand crossing" ceremonies, the brothers took the initiate to George's Hideaway, a highway hostelry, where a social meetin" was held. Brother George Wil-

liams, who acted as host, served the brothers inch-thick barbecued steaks with various vegetables and liquors as accessories to the meal. -After eating, the brothers gathered outside around the host's beautiful 1955 Pontiac for an informal picture.

Chapter Cooperation—Undergrad and Grad (Continued from Page 19) "I've Got Sixpense" directed by Brother Dr. Thomas D. Pawley, March 20-21. The leading role on the second night of the play was done by Bro. Lawrence Cayce and he was supported by Brother Thomas Brooks. Assisting the production were Bros. Carl Smith and Carl Jason and Little Brother William Jeffries. Prior to that week, Alpha Psi set the pace among fraternity participation by winning second place in the two day Varsity tournament. Instrumental in this achievement were Bros. Willie Scott, Billingslea, Gunter, and Little Brother Kennedy, all of whom set a record by placing more men among the top scorers in the competition. Brother Scott copped the individual scoring crown with 67 points, closely seconded by Little Brother Lornell Wells, a key man on the first place champion Junior Varsity with 66. In other athletics, Alpha Psi is proud of their volleyball team, currently deadlocked in a three way tie for first place. An invitation was extended to the Ivy Leaf Club of AKA sorority and to the Spinx club to come and enjoy a four-way reunion March 25. Bro. Warren Swindell introduced a new Alpha pep song for the chapter, which is inclosed for publication. Brother editor Harold Manson was voted the most qualified journalist in the L. U. School of Journalism by PAGE 32

two local white papers. He has since announced the completion of the 1955 edition of the "Archives" school yearbook. Brother Manson accredits the success of the publication to the expert supervision of Brother sponsor James Saunders, instructor in journalism, and to the untiring efforts of his student staff which is dominated by Alpha's and AKA's. Feb. 12 began the sorority-fraternity activities for the spring semester spearheaded by a presentation of a one-pound box of candy to each of the AKA's, a dinner hour and a social dance and re-union. T o Miss Shirley Lipscomb, chapter sweetheart, went a two pound box of candy. At the close of the fall semester late in January, Alpha men and their little brothers walked away with positions on the Dean's honor roll. Brother Julius Hollis, a mid-year graduate, topped the complete list with a straight A average, a perfect 3.000 average. Following him were Brothers Gunter, Charles Alexander, (chapter president) Warren Swindell, and Odell Dean, who was also a midyear grad. Displaying high scholastic aims were newly-made Sphinxmen, lead by Little Brother Shelley Bowers. Next to him in academic standings were John Britton, Robert Flowers and jessee Gill.
