EPSILON DELTA LAMBDA by Bro. Robert E. Lawson We are happy to write about some of the activities of our chapter. The brothers in this chapter live in three cities; namely, Sylacauga, Anniston and Talladega, Ala. Our chapter works closely with Alpha Beta Chapter of Talladega College in several projects each year. Our chapter has taken out a life membership with the N.A.A.C.P. and sends funds to the Legal Defense Fund. Each year we make a liberal donation to the United Negro College Fund and also award a $100.00 cash scholarship to a Talladega College student who is recommended through the Dean's office. The Dean is Bro. Cohen T. Simpson. Last year our chapter co-sponsored with Alpha Beta Chapter a Founders' Day Program and brought to the campus Bro. Lionel Newsom, now our National President, to give the main address for this occasion. Bro. Newsom was great as usual. Each year brothers of our chapter made themselves available as speakers to address high school students in the secondary schools in the entire area. This program has been rather successful as it seeks to stimulate students to further their education. The big social event for the chapter is the Sweetheart Ball. This year it was held on February 12 in Anniston and Alpha Beta Chapter, along with their Alphabettes, were our special guests. Last December the brothers honored their wives and/or sweethearts with a steak dinner at the Holiday Inn in Anniston, Ala. Talks were made by Bro. J. O. Hopson, Bro. Simpson and Bro. Lawson. This was one of our most interesting and enjoyable meetings.

BROS. INGE AND FREDERICK LEAD LIONS (9-2) TO SECOND PLACE IN NAIA SOCCER TOURNAMENT by Bro. Ronald E. Butler
BRO EARL GIBSON Bro. Earl Gibson has been named captain of the champion Alabama A. and M. College Golf Team. The team is relying heavily on Bro. Gibson's golfing ability to lead it to another Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Golf Championship, which it won in 1964. BRO JEROME HAMLER Bro. Jerome Hamler, Bethune-Cookman College, was recently named to the District 2 NCAA all Tournament team. During the NCAA Small College District 2 Tournament, Bro. Hamler got a standing ovation from the audience after scoring 24 points against Evansville. He also added 20 against Norfolk in the tournament held in Louisville, Ky. Bro. Hamler is a sophomore from Orlando, Fla. majoring in Business Administration.
The Lions of Lincoln University in Pennslyvania, who placed second in the NAIA Soccer Tournament last fall were led by Bros. Anthony Inge and Carl Frederick. Bro. Inge who has been captain of the team for three years and an all conference selection in the Delaware Valley Conference for two years, was deprived of additional honors by an injury obtained at the halfway mark of the season. However, his outstanding play left the Lions with four wins in the first five games. Bro. Frederick's stalwart defensive play and clutch goal scoring ability throughout the N A I A tournament as well as throughout the season earned him the honor of being chosen on the first team of the NAIA, and this year's Delaware Valley Conference Team. Bros. Inge and Frederick have been members of Nu Chapter since 1963, and both are quite active besides being good scholars. Bro. Frederick is coeditor of the school's yearbook, and Bro. Inge is the treasurer of the Student Senate.
