From The General Secretary's Desk

CHICAGO, ILL.—I am sure that each of you has returned to your chapter seats feeling refreshed, and invigorated, after the vacation period just ended—and that you have returned with that dogged determination to carry on the program of Alpha Phi Alpha diligently from your local level, to the end that this work might be brought to fruition on the National level. Remember, brothers, the National Organization is no stronger than its weakest Chapter, but, of course, we have no weak chapters—DO WE?

Before we get into the real meat of this letter, let me make a few acknowledgements:

(1) How proud we are of our good, stalwart General Treasurer, Brother MEREDITH GILLESPIE FERGUSON, who, as of June 30, 1959, is the President of the Citizens Savings Bank and Trust Company, in Nashville, Tennessee, succeeding our dearly beloved LIFE MEMBER, now deceased — Brother Henry Allen Boyd;

to "better to know you" of our "Fellow Greeks."

(8) The kind invitation of the Board of Directors of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority to a cocktail party in the Boulevard Room of the Sheraton-Towers Hotel, in Chicago.

(9) With sorrow we announce the passing of Brother Nelson Griffin Glover (Xi Lambda), a hard working brother of many years standing—over thirty; and the passing of Mrs. Olivia Bowman, the mother of Brother J.

ONWARD and UPWARD

LILBOURN, MO. — The members of Epsilon Eta Lambda Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity are still nobly carrying on traditionally with all the modern embellishments.

Morally, socially, intellectually, and physically, the Apes of this chapter are making contributions to society. Members live such clean lives in the various communities that many are inspired thereby and choose to be associated with the oustanding personalities Lawyers, doctors, teachers, preachers, and politicians are within the fraternal bounds

The Alphas here honor annually mothers who have done much to make communities better places to live; during Educational Achievement Week, they give speeches that will inspire someone to desire to improve his sta-

tus; and counsel inquirers as to prospects in various fields. A scholarship is awarded annually to a deserving high school graduate who enters college

Besides frequent closed affairs, they give an annual dance to which all Greeks and company are invited. This dance is one of the social highlights of the year All Greeks in the area look forward to this Alpha-sponsored affair

Annually their physical skill in sports is matched with independent and other fraternity teams Epsilon Eta Lambda believes that one should be well-rounded—that one should live a rich, sincere, and varied social life and strive to make the world a better place in which to live.

My Dear Brother Paige:

As I celebrate my FIRST ANNIVERSARY as General Secretary of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Incorporated, I must express a word of appreciation to you and the members of the Executive Council for the confidence reposed in me—and it shall be my duty and responsibility, as the years go by, to justify this confidence and support

The experience has been quite rewarding, not in a monetary sense, but in the sense that I see the gradual unfolding of my aspirations as to the operation of the office here at National Headquarters _

Within a short time, few years maybe, I hope to have the office so organized, and operations moving so methodically and efficiently, that the office of General Secretary will be a model for all Greek letter organizations, and—to the end that any successor to office will have but to follow the outlined pattern, in operation, which will reflect credit to the name of Alpha Phi Alpha

Fraternally and sincerely yours, Laurence T Young General Secretary CC Executive Council

WHY COME TO CINCINNATI!!!

CINCINNATI, OHIO — When we extended our invitation to the General Convention to convene in Cincinnati at Christmastime 1959, we did so with a profound sense of pride

This city which borders the South has in bygone days had a reputation of being anti in many respects. Today, its citizens can say with a feeling of accomplishment that Cincinnati and "anti" are not absolutely "running mates

Many fine precedences have been set here from which Negroes have benefited Negroes have also shared in effecting many fine changes Brother Theodore M Berry could never have become Vice Mayor of Cincinnati if Negroes of this city had not proven their abilities in areas where leadership was demanded Negroes have progressed in numerous fields of endeavor Even as recently as this summer our own General Convention Chairman, Brother John W Fleming was promoted to an assistant principalship of one of our schools. Today, the appointment of a Negro to a top position in our school system does not receive "rave notices" as it would have when Brother Rossmond Turpeau and others became principals.

Now it takes more time to spot where our qualified Negroes are helping our city progress. Many have taken their rightful places in industry, business, government, education, the laboring fields and others not as Negroes with special appointments but as citizens of a community, able to do a job.

We have helped to make this city better and because of this we say "Come to Cincinnati and see the progress that has been made. Cincinnati is not "Utopia" but it certainly has striven and is still striving to become truly a "Queen City."

Cincinnati, is nationally known as a convention city and has adequate facilities to satisfy conventioners in a gala manner. We invite the whole of our fraternity to convene and enjoy all facilities without hesitation. Those who remember the General Convention held here in 1931 will immediately appreciate conditions now.

We say "Come!" and the City of Cincinnati says "Come!!!"

"The General President Speaks"

BROOKLYN, N.Y — Our undergraduates have now returned from what I hope was a very pleasant, healthy and remunerative vacation It is time to settle down seriously to your tasks as members of the academic community, as well as to fraternal association

Let me re-emphasize your obligations to be a good Alpha man means you must be a good student Scholarship is the first requirement of an undergraduate Greek As stated by President Louis T Benezet of Colorado College:

"Broad and deep preparation for a career; intellectual skills, reading,

writing, critical thinking, speaking, computing and so forth; maturity in appreciating world problems and the attainment of sensitivity to values themselves, esthetic and religious, personal and social, are the ingredients out of which real scholarship is made."

It will be your responsibility in the near future to consider new pledgees and it is your obligation in selecting these pledgees to choose men who by their previous records have shown the ability to maintain high scholarship It is your further duty to see that this ability and opportunity is not lessened by their pledging and final initiation

Brother John W Fleming; General Chairman; Forty-fifth General Convention; Cincinnati, Ohio; December 26-30, 1959

into our great order It is your further duty to set the example for these new men by maintaining a high degree of scholarship throughout your Chapter

Keep before you constantly the fact that your Fraternity does not deserve the recognition of your school unless you contribute through your scholarship and leadership in extracurricular affairs to an unusual degree

Also, I wish to remind you that Alpha is firmly opposed to what has been called "Hell Week" and is recommending to each of our undergraduate chapters the substitution of "Help Week."

Now let me turn attention to the graduate chapters Our graduates have a two-fold obligation First, to aid and inspire our undergraduates Second, to be the outstanding leaders in their communities and to put a special emphasis at this time on reclamation of our "forgotten" brothers.

We are nearing the 45th Annual Convention and I plead with both graduates and undergraduates to give serious and special attention to the great questions which will face us in Cincinnati, Ohio in the Report of our Commission on Re-organization I devoutly hope that this Commission will come forward with the much needed recommendations for a program of the future and that their proposals will be

ready for submission to you by the end of October This will give each chapter an opportunity to study this material and to send their delegates to Cincinnati prepared to vote their wishes

We have now reached the high mark in active fraternity membership with more than 6,000 financial brothers This, however, is still unsatisfactory as we have available over 20,000 brothers who have been initiated and are now living in our communities These must be reclaimed if we would accomplish our necessary goal of building fraternity houses for our undergraduate chapters. As an aid in this matter, we will present to you at the Convention a proposal for group insurance of our members.

Your officers have been most diligent since our last Convention and we have succeeded in increasing our financial stability

I again urge each of you to recall your pledge and obligation to your Fraternity to do all in your power to make it great and maintain its leadership both on the campus as well as in our communities and then we can truly say that Alpha is again "First of All, Servants of All," and will "Transcend All."

Sincerely and Fraternally

A BRIEF HISTORY OF

DELTA GAMMA LAMBDA CHAPTER

^ CINCINNATI, OHIO — Delt a Gamma Lambda Chapter was founded in 1947 when the number of graduate brothers in Cincinnati warranted the establishing of another chapter. The founding date was December 20th, on the 27th anniversary of the founding of Alpha Alpha Chapter.

The Chapter was set up by Brother William N Lovelace, who was then Midwestern Vice President. Brother Belford V Lawson, who was then General President, was the speaker at the installation ceremonies which were held at the Lincoln Community Center. The following Brothers were charter members of Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter: M T Alexander, Floyd Black, Braxton F. Cann, Charles H. Carroll, Arkley A Dalton, John W Delaney, Charles E Dillard, James Driskell, Lawrence D. Finley, John W. Fleming, Edward D Graves, George W. Hayes, Theodore M. Berry, F. Douglas Henry, H Hannibal Hull, Walter S Houston II, Matthew M Hines, William N. Lovelace, W. Norfleet Lowe, Artie Matthews, R P McClain, William R. McCaleb, James W. Muir, Brent Pendleton, William A. McClain, Correlus Parker, Chester Pryor, Webster W. Posey, Silas S. Rhodes, Quentin Reid, Saul S Sanford W N Springer, Alonzo Saunders, William F. Thomas, Alva S. Thornton Sr., Darwin T Turner, Spencer E. Turner, Willis C. Weatherly, and H I Wilson

With Brother John W. Fleming as its first president the chapter became interested in purchasing a chapter house. This came to fruition in 1953 under the presidency of Brother James Muir The chapter from the onset did much for scholarship and education in the community In 1954 under the presidency of Brother Willis C. Weatherly, Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter established its Annual Project to raise educational funds. An automobile was raffled and Delta Gamma Lambda's first "Miss Cincinnati" was crowned. In the spring of 1957 the chapter was host to a Midwestern Roundup Later that year the chapter honored Brother Theodore M. Berry at a Testimonial In December of the same year

the chapter was host to brothers who had been members of the Fraternity for 25 years

Brothers of Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter are continuing their quest for excellency

Brother Spencer Turner as president has guided the chapter through the planning of the oncoming General Convention. This fall three young men will matriculate at the University of Cincinnati on scholarships given by Delta Gamma Lambda Brothers John W Fleming, William A McClain, Leon Render, James Muir, and Charles Long have held the presidency of this chapter in the past and still serve the Fraternity, with the exception of Brother Long who has passed on to Omega Chapter. Many other Brothers have gone to Omega Chapter; most recently were Brothers William H. Morton, A. Bruce McClure, Rudolph Hill, and Thomas South

We are striving in Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter and we look forward to seeing all of you in Cincinnati this Christmas.

ALPHA ALPHA CHAPTER

CINCINNATI, OHIO — While the Forty-fifth General Convention is in session this Christmas, brothers in Cincinnati will be remembering that Alpha Phi Alpha took root here 39 years ago Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity offered inspiration to a group of men in 1920 and up through the years this spirit has inspired many.

We can discern from the record that Alpha Alpha Chapter has always been interested in the national organization and is celebrated for its contributions to the Fraternity. Alpha Alpha Chapter has always fostered fine educational programs and shall long be remembered by the citizenry of this city for its contributions to education. Many young men who contribute to society today, do so because the members of Alpha Alpha realized the importance of education in the struggle for success

Alpha Alpha Chapter has contributed national officers in more than a dozen administrations Brothers Theodore M. Berry, John W. Fleming, Braxton Cann and William N Lovelace have more than adequately served our fraternity on the national level

pha Chapter kept men coming. The chapter had served as a combined graduate and undergraduate chapter In December of 1947 Delta Gamma Lambda Chapter was formed Brother McNelius Sharp was the first President of Alpha Alpha Chapter after the formation of the graduate chapter, and was Alpha Alpha's delegate to the 33rd General Convention in Tulsa that year The chapters had to then busy themselves with maintaining campus recognition at the University of Cincinnati Alpha Alpha Chapter continues to maintain high standards under the presidency of Brother Henry Johnson It works closely with the graduate chapter in furthering the Fraternity's program

There are many who remember the "Silver Jubilee" of 1931 Although it was a fine convention it had its many limitations. Alpha Alpha Chapter through its continued efforts has been one of the forces which has brought about the conditions under which we may convene today

WASHINGTON, D.C.—World War II veterans today enter the final year in which application may be made for a GI home, farm or business loan

Congress has set July 25, 1960, as the cut-off date in the post-war program that has already seen nearly 5 million World War II veterans take advantage of the GI Bill loan provisions since June 22, 1944.

The law allows an additional year, or until July 25, 1961, for processing and actual closing of loans

These dates do not pertain to Korean veterans who have until January 31, 1965, to make loan applications. World War II veterans who also served in Korea are considered Korean veterans for loan purposes.

Under the GI loan program, qualified World War II veterans are offered the opportunity to obtain VA guaranteed or insured loans to (2) purchase, Continued on page 9

"The President's Tour of Our Military Defenses"

by Brother Myles Paige

BROOKLYN, NY It was a great opportunity and pleasure for me to accept the invitation of the Honorable Neil McElroy, Secretary of Defense of the United States, to attend a Joint Civilian Orientation Conference covering a period of ten days from May 1st, 1959.

The Conference met first at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C., where we received the greetings of the Defense Department from the Under Secretary of Defense, the late Mr Quarles. From there we went to the Pentagon where we received a message from the Secretary of Defense and were thereafter escorted to the United States Marine Base at Quantico, Virginia Here we were the guests of Lt General M. B. Twining, Commandant of the Marine Corps Schools After inspecting this base we were taken by helicopter over the area and observed demonstrations by the Marine troops There I became an honorary member of the Marine Helicopter Squadron 1

The Conference was then taken by Air Force Convair planes to the United States Naval Base at Quonset, Rhode Island Here we inspected the Naval Base and went aboard the flag ship of the United States Task Force which has the assignment of seeking out and sinking enemy submarines We spent an entire day on maneuvers accompanied by ten destroyers with ship based helicopters and airplanes. The Commandant, Rear Admiral Stroh, was most hospitable and we had a very enlightening and pleasant tour We were then flown from Quonset, Rhode Island to the West Florida Eglin Air Force Base where we were conducted on a tour of inspection and I had the pleasure and privilege of flying in a jet plane and was given the honorary title of "Jet Jockey." The demonstrations by the Air Force were most enlightening and thrilling

After two days of observation there, we flew over to East Florida Patrick Air Force Base and were rushed immediately to the missile launching grounds at Canaveral, Florida, where we witnessed the successful launching of the Jupiter Missile Needless to say

this was an inspiring observation. The next day we were privileged to be escorted through the entire base to observe the assembling of missiles of all types including the inspection of the "block houses."

The next day we continued our flight to Fort Benning, Georgia, the United States Army Training Center For three days we witnessed demonstrations of the fitness of our armed forces including a full-scale simulated battle involving bombers, fighte r planes, missile launchers, tanks, small arms, and every other military fighting implement of present day warfare

This Center is, as some of you may know, extremely large and we witnessed some five demonstrations in different areas of the Center to which we had to fly by helicopter from one to the other At Fort Benning I received the honorary membership in the forces of the camp as an "Honorary Doughboy," although I am in fact a full colonel in the reserves One of the unforgettable feats of the day was to observe the barbecueing of an alligator and to experience the delicious taste of this meat

At the conclusion of the ten days of exciting, thrilling and informative experiences, we were flown back to Washington, D.C., and from there to our respective homes.

In conclusion, I wish to say that what we wtinessed gave the impression of a sound program of preparedness in our military defenses, however, we still wondered what the enemy might have to offset what we witnessed in our own armed forces

THE NEWS . . .

PRINCESS ANNE, MD. — When Brother J Comellious King was elected to the office of President he at once launched a reclamation program As a result the following Brothers were reclaimed: Le Roy Hamilton, Earl B Jackson, Irvin W Knight, Leonard O. Pitts, and John Webster.

Delta Nu and Delta Omicron cooperated to bring this program about. Several of the Brothers in Delta Nu were very active in this area Namely Brothers Lunsfors, Roland H. Brown, Huey Cobb, Ernest Brown, Charles H. Gray, Charles J. Laws, and Godfrey Mills

Brother J D Singletary was chairman of the program committee, and Brother Francis H Harris is our Sphinx Editor.

Since the program was launched and up through May 31, 1959, a total of 4,955,300 World War II veterans have made GI loans for a total face value of $39,220,608,200

Of this total 4,657,100 loans were made for dwellings; 228,400 for business ventures and 69,800 for farms and equipment

In all, 35 percent of the eligible World War II veterans have taken advantage of the loan program An exceptionally low record of defaults has won the approval of the nation's financial leaders and an extremely high percentage of the loans have already been repaid in advance of the final due dates

A Point O View

By Brother William Burke

Delta Upsilon, Miami University

OXFORD, OHIO — Because I was a pledge initiated and have seen the light, my chapter meetings and activities are attended regularly; committee work is my specialty New ideas are brought in by me, and I willingly accept the will of the majority. My dues or chapter budget are paid on time. I give constructive criticism to my chapter program No more will I become unfriendly to my brother who fails to agree with me. I will keep my vows I am loyal I am an ALPHA In 1946 this was brother D W Lewis's conception of the responsibility of an Alpha man

Now thirteen years later as I read these words the dominate idea which comes into my mind is: That since 1946 the responsibility of the great country we live in has grown increasingly great and more complex each and every day And keeping right in stride with the land in which they live Alpha men have accepted the increasing amount of responsibility and dealt with its complexity in a manner which will never cease to amaze me.

Can anyone of you truthfully say that when you saw that light and knew you were an Alpha man had any other thought than, I finally made it, I am finally an ALPHA MAN Well, I can truthfully say those were my thoughts

started toward class.

As I walked a realization began to come to me And it was that the night before I had not only had a pin placed upon my chest but I also had as each and everyone of us has had an invisible cloak placed upon my shoulders It was the invisible cloak of responsibility A cloak that becomes almost intolerably heavy at times. But I try to think of it like this when it does That an Alpha pin and that invisible cloak of responsibility go together like the hands on a clock or the wheels on an automobile

Sure you can have one without the other, but they are not very much good, are they?

About five weeks ago I spoke in Trenton, Ohio to the Rotary Club there. And it would be very difficult to describe the exhilarating feeling of elation and pride that went through my body when as we stood in an informal group talking and one of the Rotarians mentioned that there was an Alpha Chapter on his campus when he went to school and they were always among the top fraternities in scholastic rating and he continued by rattling off a number of names of Alpha men that he had run into in the transaction of his business

He had nothing but admiration and praise for Alpha men that night And later as I sat awaiting my time to speak the apprehension running through my mind was could I and my generation of brothers uphold the responsibility of the magnamiously high caliber of Achievement obtained by those brothers who have gone before us! I don't believe we the present generations of Alphas have to acquire exorbitant fortunes, or internationally acclaimed fame to uphold our responsibility. Even though this would indeed undoubtedly be a wonderful thing.

But to most brothers to uphold their responsibility does not mean the acquisition of vast fortunes or international acclaim, but to perform or obtain a goal which in some instances is even more difficult than the obtaining of money or fame and that is to become a person who is highly respected, admired and a stable individual in their own community

Just a week after I spoke to the Rotary club in Trenton I went home

on spring break and while I was home I was invited to play tennis at the Cleveland Skating Club. Well, I hadn't been in the locker room of the skating club more than ten minutes when one of the fellows who I had been introduced to asked me if I knew . . . and at that point he interjected the name of a brother of mine and when I told him that that man was not only a personal friend of mine but also a fraternity brother it was just like turning on the radio He started talking and I thought he'd never stop. He told me of how he had played various tournaments throughout the state of Ohio and had frequently run into this fraternity brother of mine and how much he had enjoyed the association

After about the first five minutes of his almost twenty minute oratory I wasn't listening too closely to what he said because I was again thinking to myself here is another prime example of an Alpha who has worn his cloak of responsibility well. He has worn his like all of us shall have to strive to wear ours.

I think the thought of responsibility is summarized rather beautifully by the immortal poet John Ruskin When he once said:

"When we build, let us think that we build forever. Let it be such work as our descendants will thank us for And let us think as we lay stone on stone that a time is to come when these stones are to be held sacred because our hands have touched them and that

men will say as they look upon the labor and the wrought substance of them: see this what our fathers did for us."

WEATHER

Cincinnati does not generally have winters and seldom has snow at Christmastime

The average temperature for this period has been between a High of 42 degrees and a Low of 27.5 degrees

Clear, crisp, coldness will probably be the condition, but we "might" have a repeat of the 71 degrees that prevailed in 1956.

Brother Beatty:

Please, please get this in for me and for the local chapters It has been cut short

Brother W P Hubert Regional Director for Georgia June 16th, 1959

SAVANNAH, GA — Brothers of the Southern Region took advantage of the invitation from Beta Phi Lambda and Delta Eta Chapters to enjoy the type of hospitality and fraternal relations which caused fond memories of the best of traditional meetings in Alpha's history. Truly, the sessions approached general convention atmosphere.

Present and participating throughout the sessions was the General President, Brother Myles Paige who, in his address to the brothers during regular session, emphasized (1) the need for re-evaluation of financial needs; (2) study of expenditures through committees now operating, but not fulfilling their sacred obligation for Alpha due to failure of proper accounting; (3) and not showing sufficient progress towards objectives.

Brother Paige further delighted the brothers and their guests during his very dynamic banquet address He took this opportunity to review some of the outstanding accomplishments of Alpha during its history—the specific contribution through spirit and labor of many of the devoted brothers, past and present, and left the challenge: "We are about to reach the top of the mountain, but we face the most difficult stage of the climb."

Brother James Evans, US Department of Defense, was speaker at the joint public meeting of Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha. He challenged his audience to pay earnest attention to scientific research and preparedness

Using the history of his own achievements and aspirations, he pointed out that we cannot afford to be careless and rest on what we as traternities and sororities once accomplished. We must be prepared for the rapidly changing and more complex

scientific society of today and on an international scale.

Brother James Huger, Southern Vice President, a very adept diplomat and chairman, acknowledged the presence of Brothers Sidney A Jones, Jr., and Brother William A Hale Both of these brothers have a following for elevation to the presidency in Alpha Each brought greetings to the Southern Region

It was agreed by vote of the Southern Regional Convention that greater emphasis and support be given to increasing the budget to regions according to their needs, particularly where undergraduate stimulation and program supervision is indicated.

ALPHA SPREADS WINGS

By Brother J F Cuminings

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C — During the spring of the 1957-58 school year twelve men at Fayetteville State Teachers College became restless with the complacency of life at the College and decided to start a new movement, one of which they could feel proud and in which they could find satisfaction. These men's motives were to organize a chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity

After coming together and discussing the type of chapter that would fit

their desire, these students looked into the city of Fayetteville, N.C, to find Epsilon Rho Lambda, an Alpha Phi Alpha Graduate Chapter which consists of several outstanding Brothers. They are Brothers Bugg, Butler, Massey, Thomas, W E Murphy, T Boykin, W E McNeil, George Young, C G Avent and W T Brown Also, Brother Curtis King, D Johnson

On the College campus, we found President R Jones, Chairman of Area of Health and Physical Education; Brother D A Williams, Chairman of Area of Social Science; E A Toppin, Director of Public Relations; H I Fontello-Nanton and Director of College Band, T Bacote

After briefly looking at these great men and their accomplishments we were sure that Alpha was the step we wanted to take. Therefore, we arranged through Dr E A Toppin to have our first official gathering at a smoker, secured the Graduate Chapter's permission to call ourselves an Alpha Interest Group

Following a few meetings, we organized and elected officers J F Cummings, President; Azriah Ellerbe, vice president; Luther McKeithan, secretary, and Eugene Hunter, treasurer. Other members were Aaron Knight, Lewis Bullock, Clyde McDaniel, Major Boyd, Milton Tucker, Gilmore

Bowling Green State University Accepts New Fraternity

By Brother John C. Chinn

BOWLING GREEN, OHIO —Alpha Kappa Omega, a local fraternity at Bowling Green State University, was initiated at Epsilon Theta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha National Fraternity, Friday, May 15, 1959.

Alpha Kappa Omega was founded at Bowling Green State University in 1955 by 14 men. It was their desire not only to form a fraternal organization but to have this organization affiliate with Alpha Phi Alpha in the very near future. They wished this so strongly that they incorporated as much as possible of Alpha into their "brain child." Many of the customs and ideals of Alpha Kappa Omega, along with its colors and songs, are similar if not identical to those of Alpha Phi Alpha.

Alpha Kappa Omega corresponded with Alpha Phi Alpha, for quite some time, through Brother E Garfield Weathers, Regional Director, of Toledo In early April the fraternity finally received permission from the National Office to begin a period of pledgeship under the direction of Brother Weathers, and Epsilon Alpha and Alpha Xi Lambda, undergraduate

and graduate chapters, respectively, located in Toledo, Ohio

Shortly afterward, Alpha Kappa Omega was granted permission by the Bowling Green State University administration and Interfraternity Council to affiliate with Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. The men of Alpha Kappa Omega then participated in a rigorous and concentrated pledge program that ended with the initiation ceremonies and a banquet, May 5, 1959

The banquet was held in the Pheasant Room of the University Union. Guest speaker of the evening was Brother Stenson E Broaddus, MidWestern Vice-President of Alpha Phi Alpha, Inc. Brother E. Garfiel d Weathers served as Master of Ceremonies and Brother Wayman Palmer, President of the Toledo Graduate Chapter, presented a gavel, to be engraved, for the new chapter

Guests that attended included: Dr Ralph W. McDonald, President of Bowling Green State University; Wallace W Taylor, Dean of Men; Ray Marvin, Interfraternity Council President; and Mr and Mrs Carlos Jackson, the new chapter's head residents.

Wesf 4//7ca Takes Lead

MONROVIA, LIBERIA — Nineteen hundred and fifty nine will go down inhistory asanunusual year for happenings inLiberia, West Africa

Many history - making events took place, events that will long be remembered by future historians, event s which will serve as guide posts for all people of Africa One of the most significant of these was the uniting and setting up of Eta Epsilon Lambda chapter in Monrovia.

In addition to the official chapter setting-up affair being both gay and colorful, it was avery impressive one with eighteen out of the twenty Alpha men in the country present Brother David N. Howell, who had been designated by General President Paige to officiate, and Brother I. C.Steady, the oldest Alpha man in West Africa, shared the honor of setting up the first Alpha Phi Alpha chapter in Africa, the home of the silent Sphinx Truly this was an historic occasion.

Fortunately for usin the early days of organization wewere favored with visits from Brothers Hollis Price of LeMoyne College andO'Hara Lanier of the Phelps Stokes Fund Most recently Brother Frederick Patterson, Director of The Phelps-Stokes Fund, was guest of the chapter at one of its regular meetings

The immediate plans ofEta Epsilon for the rest of the year call for the investigation of the possibilities of es-

tablishing atleast one undergraduate chapter inour colleges here A Founders' Day program, a Scholarship affair, "Go to High School, Go to College" campaign, and Chapter Anniversary are other events inthe making

We expect to have at least one delegate at the Cincinnati Convention this year

Upon the opening of school in September, 1958, seven ofthe men returned with determination Those of us who remained united our forces and continued to work toward the day when we would become Sphinxmen Dr. Toppin was still working with us. The tasks were not all easy and time seemed to move very slowly, but the day finally came Our Sphinx Club was organized. J. F. Cummings remained president, Aaron Knight vice president. Luther McKeithan and Eugene Hunter continued as secretary and treasurer Boyd, Bullock and McDaniel worked ascommitteemen. Mr. Bacote joined with Dr Toppin, and an Alpha Chapter at F.S.T.C. looked promising

Probation was begun in November and onNovember 18, 1959, the seven men whose names are mentioned above

were initiated. We are grateful to Brothers Toppin and Bacote and Brothers of Epsilon Rho Lambda

Since the birth of Epsilon Zeta Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. (seat at Fayetteville State Teachers College, Fayetteville, North Carolina) we have attempted to promote the general welfare by providing "Gift Baskets" atChristmas timeto foster brotherhood byserving as hosts for the North Carolina Regional Undergraduate Convention, to encourage scholarship by contributing to the J W. Seabrook Scholarship Fund, andto participate in religious activities by sponsoring Lenten and Sunday School services oncampus Also in an effort to observe Founders Daywe held a ceremony commemorating the Founders of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and by way ofobserving National Education for Citizenship Week the Brothers worshipped with Brothe r Thomas at the Haymount Presbyterian Church.

Before the closing of this school year each ofus would like totake this opportunity tothank the entire administration, faculty, staff, and studentsof the College for the interest they have shown We also owe thanks to all of the sororities and fraternities on campus. We are especially grateful to Miss L J Taylor, Miss Lena Means and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority We are also especially appreciative to Brothers Bacote and Toppin fortheir priceless service Finally Epsilon Zeta wishes to congratulate the young ladies of Phi Beta Lambda.

GROUP LIFE INSURANCE FOR ALPHA PHI ALPHA

By Brother Ernest N. Mortal, General Counsel

NEW ORLEANS, LA — The Alpha Phi Alpha Building Foundation was organized as an Illinois non-profit corporation for the purpose of aiding the members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., in acquiring chapter houses and in the advancement of their education, research, civic and cultural development The elected officers of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., that comprise the Executive Council of the Fraternity plus six additional members of the Fraternity selected by the Executive Council make up the membership of the Alpha Phi Alpha Building Foundation, Inc.

During the past several years the Foundation has studied several means of raising funds for the purpose of financing chapter houses As a result of these studies, the Foundation decided that a Group Life Insurance Program for the members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., would enable the Foundation to receive and use for its tax exempt purposes any net amount of dividend or experience refund received from the insurance carrier This idea was referred to the 44th General Convention, which authorized and empowered the Executive Council to study and explore the feasibility of a group life insurance program for Alpha Phi Alpha and report to the 45th General Convention

In keeping with the mandate of the 44th General Convention the Executive Council prepared specifications for a group life insurance program for Alpha Phi Alpha and submitted the specifications to more than thirty (30) leading life insurance companies The proposed plan will offer to members of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., insurance coverage on terms and at rates sufficiently attractive in comparison with non-group-insurance coverage

THE PLAN

Durham Banker Receives First Rutgers Graduate Banking Degree

DURHAM, N. C. — I. O. Funderburg, cashier of the 51 year old Mechanics and Farmers Bank, recently became the first Negro in U.S. history to complete the graduate course in Commercial Banking at the Graduate School of Banking at Rutgers University.

The graduate program is sponsored jointly by Rutgers University and the influential American Bankers Association

The Mechanics and Farmers Bank last year had resources close to $8 million. In addition to its main office and a branch in Durham, the bank operates a Raleigh office also.

A native of Monticello, Ga., and a graduate o f Morehouse College, Brother Funderburg has been cashier of the bank since 1952. He was promoted from an assistantship in 1951 after starting as a teller in 1948. His banking career followed one year's graduate study at the University of Michigan

John H Wheeler, Mechanics and Farmers' president said, "The directors, officers and patrons of Mechanics and Farmers Bank are proud to congratulate Mr. Funderburg on his achievement of this unusual distinction."

Wheeler pointed out that Brother Funderburg's graduate degree comes from the "only university of its kind in the United States and one that exercises such a high degree of selectivity that only outstanding graduates of accredited colleges and universities are admitted for study. Candidates must also be active officers of the bank and they must have passed their 30th birthday." Brother Funderburg received his diploma at the 23rd annual banking school commencement rites on June 19 in New Brunswick, N J

Active in many areas of the civic and religious life of Durham, Brother Funderburg is also a former commander of the Weaver McLean Post of the American Legion In addition he is an army veteran of World War II, chairman of the Recreation Advi-

sory Council of the local T A Grady Community Center and treasurer of the Durham Division, Boy Scouts of America. He is an active member of the St Joseph A.M.E Church and the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity

Along with several other recreation leaders, the banking executive is slated to receive a 1959 plaque from the City of Durham for his contributions to the local recreation program during the year

Beta Nu Chapter Changes Program

TALLAHASSEE, FLA. — The spring probation of Beta Nu Chapter of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity at Florida A & M University was conducted in a very different manner this year.

Fast moving Beta Nu is striving for a place in the orbit In keeping with this changing time of "Satelites and Spacemen" changes were made Traditionally probation activities were centered around public display with probates providing entertainment for spectators The change emphasized some type of help to the community. Instead of directing all energies in Hazing, these energies have been directed toward helping people in need Beta Nu materialized this idea by painting the house of an elderly lady in the Tallahassee community

At the beginning of "Know your Greek Week" the sphinxmen of Beta Nu presented a cultural program for the entire FAMU student body The program was a panel discussion of "The Role of a Fraternity in our Changing Society," emphasizing the intellectual, social and religious roles that fraternities should assume now or must assume in the near future if they are to maintain their position in our

A Plan And A Program For An Alpha Phi Alpha Housing Fund

By Brother Sidney A. Jones Jr.

CHICAGO, ILL.—This is to present a quick and sure way to raise a substantial fund for undergraduate fraternity housing. There has been much said and written on this subject during the last twenty-five years It was not until 1954 when the Alpha Phi Alpha Building Foundation, Inc., was organized that we did something concrete on the subject From each grand tax $1.25 was allocated to the building foundation It is a separate corporation, the members of which are the Executive Council and six other persons elected by the Executive Council The members then elect nine directors and the directors elect the officers The General Secretary, General Treasurer, and General Counsel are by the constitution of the Foundation, the Secretary, Treasurer and Counsel of the Building Foundation, and they also are directors

Five thousand grand taxes annually would provide $6,250 per year for the six years the foundation has been in existence, which means $37,500 should have been allocated to the building foundation If we consider the average number of grand taxes paid per year as 6,000, this would provide $7,500 a year for the building foundation, and the total amount would have been increased accordingly.

There is a crying need for undergraduate housing and we simply do not have the money to meet this need. There is also need for additional income to extend the general program of Alpha Phi Alpha I, therefore, recommend the increase of all grand taxes immediately by $2.50 per year The additional $2.50 to be allocated exclusively to the building foundation On the basis of 6,000 financial brothers, we would have $15,000 annually for the building foundation. This would enable us to purchase outright one house every year, at appropriate places, and in a few years we would have a housing program worthy of respect If the brothers are unwilling to pay this increased assessment, they should not cry for help from the national organization Houses can only be ob-

tained by paying for them When one of our sister organizations has embarked on a campaign to raise a $500,000 fund, it seems that this program above enumerated is very modest indeed. The delegates to the Cincinnati Convention in December will have an opportunity to vote on this question It is hoped that it receives favorable response so that we can embark on a genuine housing program. This increased grand tax would mean that the undergraduates would be paying only $10.00 per year to the national organization, and the graduate brothers would be paying only $12.50 I do not believe this increase would cause any brother to become unfinancial who otherwise would be financial.

Embarking on such an extensive housing program does, of course, raise many serious issues and problems Those of us who are familiar with the various failures of fraternity houses in several places know something of the pitfalls. A fraternity house normally must have a paid house mother as well as a paid maid and janitor There

should also be a cook and kitchen helper if a dining room is maintained

The operation of a house is really big business and must be conducted in a thoroughly businesslike manner. It requires constant daily care and upkeep

Undergraduates in some houses have proved to be irresponsible, careless and undependable They have frequently permitted the house to run down, let bills accumulate and remain unpaid, and the occupants themselves have frequently adopted a policy of non-payment of rent.

The question also is presented as to whether or not the dormitories on the various campuses afford better and more adequate living accommodations and are more conducive to study than are fraternity houses Likewise, are dormitories cheaper than fraternity houses?

Before a fraternity house is purchased or erected, there must be some definite provision for mature graduate management and supervision The Continued on next page

Alpha Phi Alpha Faces Future

by Brother William H. Hale

ATLANTA,

GA.—In

his celebrated "House divided against itself" speech of 1858, Lincoln said "If we could first know where we are and whither we are tending, we could better judge what to do and how to do it." This famous epigram admirably summarizes the matter of goals or objectives for our Fraternity's future, for without some sense of purpose, some knowledge of where we want to go we will find ourselves in the sorry plight of the gentleman who mounted his horse and "rode off in all directions." With such a knowledge or blueprint, our good intelligence can show us the way.

What we need we already have—the principles as laid down by our founders Now America 1959 is not the same America as the one our Jewels saw in 1907 any more than the America of 1959 is the America of 1787 But our founders, like the architects of the American constitution, planned not for their times alone, but for posterity Accordingly, the ideas set in motion by the Cornell seven have rich meaning for us today just as our 172 year old Federal Constitution remains little altered in its basic form despite the passing years

Those early Alphas addressed themselves to the solution of two seemingly universal human needs: The need for fellowship and the need to advance oneself and ultimately the group. Out of this intellectual climate of unrest, Alpha was born and continues to live, for though the nature of the specific needs has changed over the past half century, the basic cravings of the human spirit for fellowship with its kind and for self-improvement still remain.

To say that our big purpose is the building of a close association of men sincerely dedicated to reason and intellect as means of setting the world aright, is also to say that our big opportunity and challenge is in the area of offsetting the cultural deprivation of our people. Our efforts must be directed toward broadening the base of their knowledge by inspiring them, by giving them new conceptions of themselves and of what they might become

and by assisting in opening the opportunities for advancement. True freedom derives from power-giving knowledge When Robert Maynard Hutchins said "Education may not save the world but it is the only hope we have," he was putting into modern language a truism voiced by the Galileean nearly 2000 years ago, "Thou shalt know the truth and the truth will make you free."

A Plan and A Program

Continued from page 18 brothers and pledgees living in the house must be made to pay their bills promptly and in advance without a single deviation, because when one brother is permitted to get behind in his rent it encourages others to do likewise. This sympathetic consideration in permitting a brother to get behind has been the downfall of many a fraternity house

It would seem that the most desir-

Brother William H Hale, national advisor for the United Negro College Fund pre-alumni (College students) group, chats with Dr Benjamin E Mays, Morehouse College President and National President of the U N C F The occasion was the thirteenth annual conference of the U N, C F., held on the campus of Bennett College in Greensboro, N C For the past eleven years Brother Hale has served as professor of Sociology and Chairman of the Department of Social Science of Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia

able first step in connection with a house would omit the kitchen and dining room facilities because this is one of the biggest problems in the operation of a house It requires skilled help, large expenditures for food, much work in preparing food, washing dishes, etc., and since most schools now have reasonably priced cafeterias which serve fresh, tasty, wholesome and well-balanced meals, it would seem that dining room and kitchen facilities would be unnecessary as a general rule

The house should, of course, provide a living room area large enough for social affairs and parties, and normally should connect up with a dining room. Kitchen facilities and equipment should also be available for special occasions even though it might not be operated regularly The basement should contain a recreation room and storage facilities The floors above the first floor should contain suitable and desirable sleeping quarters, and bath facilities adequate for the number of brothers to be housed

The serious question is how can the General Organization with the General Secretary located in Chicago, buy and successfully operate a fraternity house outside of Chicago, say in Ohio or Michigan, or in one of the eastern states, or in the south or southwest, or in California? It is absolute folly to purchase a house or make a grant to a local chapter unless there can be adequate graduate supervision, management and control The undergraduate membership is too changeable and temporary A good house man one year may leave and no suitable person be available to follow Frequently an undergraduate leaves with all the records and accounts and no one knows the status of anything.

In spite of the foregoing question marks and warning signals, I still feel that houses can be successfully established and maintained in appropriate places if carefully planned and provided for, and if the problems suggested in the foregoing are carefully considered and solved in each particular instance. I certainly think it is worthy of trial and for that reason I favor the raising of $15,000 each year, through increasing the grand tax by $2.50, said increase to be allocated exclusively to the Building Foundation, Inc

The Importance of Graduate-Undergraduate Relations to the Life of Alpha Phi Alpha

By Brother Richard Arrington Advisor Gamma Kappa at Miles College

BIRMINGHAM, ALA —

Much

of what is said here will not be new to most of us in Alpha It is likely that many of us have participated in discussions on this subject, and perhaps much of what is said may prove to be repetitious. Yet I believe this a problem that Alpha must solve and one that all brothers are concerned with. The question of Graduate-Undergraduate relations — usually referred to sadly as the Graduate vs Undergraduate problem is by no means a new one In fact it may be one of Alpha's oldest problems. It has been discussed in many conventions and has been referred to many times here in meetings of Omicron Lambda Chapter No solution has been found to adequately solve this problem and it is probable that it may never be solved. But nothing is clearer than if Alpha is to continue to do effective work in our rapidly changing society, Graduate and Undergraduate brothers must unite closer in the bonds of Alpha Phi Alpha The undergraduate program must be strengthened and maintained, for here truly lies the lifeline of Alpha. As adviser to an undergraduate chapter I have become increasingly aware of the need for

better graduate-undergraduate relations

What are some of the problems related to this subject and what can the graduate brother do to aid in solving them? Let me state first of all that I do not propose to have a total solution to any of these problems but I do hope that mentioning them here will turn our minds to thoughts of solutions. I have listed the following points—these are by no means all of the problems.

I Graduate brothers must help undergraduate chapters organ-

ize and promote a strong recruiting program. I realize that there are many who do not believe in such programs but I have never been one to be illusioned by such thoughts Whereas there is no desire to beg good men into Alpha there is a great need to acquaint them in some fashion with Alpha and its achievements There is a need to manifest to outstanding male students Alpha's interest in men of their type We must realize that there are many Negro freshmen who have little or Continued on page 25

It is reported that there was a magnificent banquet held in Washington, D.C., at one of the swankiest hotels, and in their most ornate banquet room Several hundred people were present to hear the famous guest speaker, a senator, prominently mentioned as a presidential candidate.

Relations of Graduate and Undergraduate

Continued from page 22 no knowledge of fraternity life prior to coming to college and need to be acquainted with Greek life in some fashion I sincerely believe this to be a part of Alpha's job—a job it should not neglect. This does not call for any great financial expense but it does demand some of the graduate's brother time. One can readily see how impressive it would be to have outstanding graduate brothers attend recruiting affairs of local undergraduate chapters. These brothers coul d be pointed out as Alpha men of achievement and would increase the guest's desire to become affiliated with Alpha This program may require more work on integrated campuses where many white fraternities are beginning to invite Negroes as members However, with a well-planned program, Alpha would be equal to the task.

II. Graduate brothers must realize that campus life may have changed greatly since their undergraduate days and be ready to adjust to present day situations

III. Graduate brothers must realize that there can never in the true

sense of the word be graduate chapters in Alpha. Just as a man's loyalty remains with his alma mater, so must it remain with his undergraduate chapter. It is high time we lessened the emphasis on graduate and undergraduate brothers and simply be brothers.

IV Graduate chapters should hold an annual graduate-undergraduate smoker with the local undergraduate chapter as guest A second and similar affair with a well-planned program would also be effective.

Let me say in closing that I'm fully aware of the responsibilities of the undergraduate brother—of the part he must play in solving this problem, of his deteriorating scholarship, and his egocentric delusions. But as graduate brothers let us do our parts In short we must be willing to give the undergraduate brother more of our time. Let us forever bear in mind that the future of Alpha rests with the undergraduate brother

SPECIAL MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT:

We have been through a terrific year, terrific because of the great program we had, its variety and large participation by brothers, the spirit of Alpha has increased in Cleveland due to the fine program we've had. I think it fitting and proper to encourage each brother to plan NOW to be active next year, keeping it in mind that the more men who take part lightens the finan-

cial burden It's my sincere wish that every Alpha man can enjoy Alpha life next year.

ALPHA QUOTES

"Some people's expenditure of speech is too great for their income of ideas."

Alpha Spreads Wings

Continued from page 13

The proper support for state or regional directors (the cabinet of the Southern Vice President), the recognition of regional directors by the General Convention and the Sphinx, and the advisability that all chapters, undergraduate and graduate be allowed the services of these regional directors

These facts will be again submitted to the General Convention and the proper committees. The need, we feel, is within the current operation and reawakening of Alpha spirit—a reclamation and reconstruction of Alpha programming at the grass roots
