Realizing that the school year of 19621963 was to be a year of great advancements, Alpha Alpha Chapter functioned throughout the summer, hosting a summer chapter, the Intercollegiate Alphas, composed of all undergraduate and r e cently graduated Alphamen throughout the city. Alpha Alpha chapter is also proud of the fact that Brother Jacob Crittenden, a 1962 graduate from the University of Cincinnati's College of Engineering with a degree in Aeronautical Engineering, was the first Negro to occupy the position of Cadet Colonel of the 665th Detachment, AFROTC. Such an accomplishment all the brothers of Alpha Alpha Chapter try to achieve. Future plans involve obtaining a new fraternity house located adjacent to the campus, and becoming the most outstanding chapter throughout all Alphadom.

On Wednesday, October 24th, 1962 Eta Tau Lambda Chapter lost the d e voted and dedicated service of a noble Alpha Brother, Earl Bruce Tate, Sr. On that morning Brother Tate left to join that illustrious body of distinguished brothers and servants of Omega Chapter. All his life Brother Tate spent in
the enjoyment of working with people and especially children and young people. As executive director of the Glendale branch of the Akron, Ohio Y. M. C. A., he brought joy and happiness to many young persons of the community. He loved sports and participated in and organized as many healthy activities he could. Brother Tate, best known to his friends, as Bruce, was a highly respected citizen and admired by big and small. He was blessed with an infectious personality which made strangers like him on sight. It was seldom, if ever, that anyone did not e n joy his easy-going and agreeable n a ture and being rewarded with a wide affectionate grin. Brother Tate was very active in u n dergraduate activities and encouraged many of the young men of this community, in attendance at the University of Akron to go forward despite any and all obstacles. As a result of his e n couragement in the academic field many of these same young men e n tered into the fold of Alpha Phi Alpha. He was a leading figure in the organizing of Eta Tau Lambda Graduate Chapter and was one of its charter members. We shall miss his warm presence and constant encouragement as a brother, friend and a solid citizen.

new found freedom and progress. Nor are some of them progressive and enlightened, such as Hendrik Verwoerd of South Africa, champion of the "White Superiority" myth but they cannot endure for long, soon they, too, as others like them, shall be cast aside. The author has a thorough understanding of the mind of native Africa and is most sympathetic toward her new leaders. He is appreciative of the problems which they face and the many difficulties that they have to overcome not only caused by the dying colonial system and the outside world but by the natives themselves. He does not include the world of Africa in this book but rather limits it to the nations that are independent or on the verge of independence. Professor Italiaander does a wonderful job in untangling some of the misjudgments about the Republic of Congo and lifting up the cruel and critical situation existing in the Union of South Africa. These two chapters alone would justify the printing of the book, say
The problems of Africa can no longef be overlooked, cast aside or supressed, the rest of them must meet the challenge head-on and recognize the a m bitions and rights of a people too long ignored. This book is certainly "a must" for anyone who desires information and a clearer insight and understanding of the problems of Africa and the mind of their leaders.
